“Yes Dad, no one can become the Lord of the family without getting married first” Janette added, causing the Lord to conflict with himself. He couldn’t change the order of things because of one man, so he turned to Nathan and said,“Nathan, we’ll have to shift the dates then, I’ll shift the company anniversary day by a week,” He paused and turned to everyone present in the room“So Nathan is given two weeks to bring home a wife and get married, then he can be made the Lord on the day of the anniversary,” He added, causing Gwendolyn’s jaw to drop“Why the haste, My Lord? A partner is for a lifetime and one can end up regretting for the rest of his life if he doesn’t get married to the right one,” Gwendolyn said causing Derek to swiftly turn to her reading the meaning of her words but he chose to ignore it“There is a girl that Nathan was supposed to marry three years ago after he saved their Lord’s life and ever since she has been waiting for his return” The Lord continued turning to
Nathan's car came to a halt in front of the company's business sector and surprisingly, there were no paparazzi around"I've already called the heads of various departments for a meeting. They're expecting us at the moment," Timothy informed as they stepped out of the car"Okay," Nathan responded, and they walked toward the entrance of the companyAs soon as they stepped feet on the first floor, everyone present in the room swiftly turned thier heads to face the door. The once crowded and noisy room instantly turned silentNathan got into the private elevator and soon got to the seventh floor where the meeting was held. Nathan trailed behind Timothy, who was already familiar with the place. Nathan's kept his gaze high and as he walked through the hallway, every single person he passed was terrified by his aura. The moment he stepped into the meeting room, everyone present in the room stood to their feet and bowed slightly"Welcome Mr. Nathan," they greeted and Nathan sat on the chair
In the Brown family mansion, Lily was having breakfast with her family when the news of the Lord's recovery reached her ear"That's wonderful, I'm glad he finally let go," Lily whispered to herself as she took a bite from her food"I was invited to have dinner with them today," The Lord said and Lily just nodded her head. Amongst all the girls in the family, she and her cousin sister, Andrea, are the only unmarried people in the house Everyone in the family already anticipated attending Andrea's wedding before attending Lily's wedding and Andrea hasn't ceased to taunt Lily about it"Oh, I thought the heir came back to get married to Lily, but unfortunately I was wrong," Andrea said as she chewed the food in her mouth"Can we not say anything negative now?" The Lord said, causing Andrea to close her mouth immediatelyAs they sat silently in the dining room, the butler of the family walked into the room with a piece of paper in his hand and he passed it to the Lord "Read it" He instru
"You don't get to say that to me, Andrea, you're not better than me, if you are then you should have married by now," Lily said heaving a long sighShe refused to let Andrea's words get to her, although it was hard to ignore, but she didn't lie. Everything she said was true, but still Lily thought that she had no right to talk to her in such a manner"Ouch, is it a bad thing that I'm looking out for you?" Andrea asked"You should look out for yourself and quit getting into my business, okay?" Lily said and without waiting for a response from her, she walked into her room and slammed the door"Unbelievable! Not only will she taunt me, but now she has chosen to tell me what to do?" Lily said with a frown on her face. Making her way toward the bed, she sat, climbed on the bed and sighed"Maybe she's right!" She thought...In Nathan's car, Gabriel was quiet as he drove. One thing he couldn't comprehend was why Nathan didn't just make Luke sign the contract of selling the company to Natha
"Damn it!" He hissed, causing Gabriel to turn to him and furrow his eyebrow. He couldn't comprehend what must have changed his mood so quick"What's the matter, Nathan?" Gabriel inquired "I need to get married in two weeks. My annoying and power-hungry uncles are looking for ways to get my inheritance, but I won't let them get it," Nathan said and shoved his phone into the back of his pocket.He didn't have Lily's number, so there was no way he could reach her to meet him somewhere"So what do we do?" Gabriel asked, trying to know what Nathan must be thinking at the moment, at least a way for him to surprise them and move to the next step"I know what to do!" Nathan responded, looking very confident. With a smirk on his face, he shifted his gaze to where Henry stood and said, "Get us two bottles of wine please," He said and moved towards the couch before taking a seat and crossing his feet, waiting for Henry to come with their wine"We'll see her tomorrow and I'll discuss with my gr
Nathan walked towards where he sat the previous day and sat there while occasionally glancing at LilyShe couldn’t take her hands off the necklace on her neck and honestly, Nathan thought it was beautiful too, but he wasn’t the one who got it for her.As the dinner progressed, The Lord of the Poroit family said, turning to Nathan, “You didn’t tell me that you invited Lily. It’s such a surprise. If we had known, then we would have prepared something special for her” “No, no sir, I don’t think there would be any need for a preparation, I feel totally comfortable. Besides, Nathan got me the best gift that I have ever received from anyone,” Lily said, pointing at the necklace she was wearing“No, I didn’t get any necklace” Nathan responded, causing The Lord of the Brown family and Lily to turn to him in surprise“Iroh got it” Gwendolyn intervened, causing everyone in the room to turn to gaze at Iroh“This is about to get interesting." Elizabeth thought as she crossed her hands and patien
In the Foden family mansion, Emma sat next to Isabella, trying to comfort her“Don’t cry, Isabella. Calm down, everything will be fine.” Emma tried comforting her, but none of it was working“How on earth can you possibly think that everything will be fine, everything that I’ve worked for is slowly crumbling right in front of me, Mom!” Isabella yelled and tried to fight the tears that welled up in her eyes but she couldn’t, they ended up falling on her face like the rest teardrop“I understand Isabella, now you understand why I hated Nathan so much right from the start, but you were pitying him, instead of letting him live like a complete servant here you still bought him clothes and a few other items,” Emma said in a rage, she wished she could turn back the hands of time and made sure Nathan do all the work in the house but time was a rare gem, once it’s gone you can’t ever get it back“You were right Mom, but I didn’t want the whole society to see my husband as a piece of trash,” Is
"Mom! Are you in there?" She heard Iroh's voice at the door. She instantly took a tissue from the vanity and used it to wipe her tears"Sweetheart, I'm coming," she said and walked towards the door. Gwendolyn opened the door of the room to find Iroh standing in front of her with a frown on his face, but as soon as he saw his mother's eyes, the frown disappeared"What's the matter? What's wrong?" Iroh asked"Nothing, as I was using some of my skincare products, some fell into my eyes," she lied"Oh, you should be careful, Mom" Iroh said and helped her to the bed. He walked into the bathroom and came out with a bucket and a bowl of water"Now wash your face with the water, make sure the water gets into your eyes," He said and Gwendolyn did as he asked before raising her head to face him"I think I'm better now," she said and forced a smile to appear on her face"Okay, that's good. Now back to why I'm really here," Iroh said, and a frown appeared on his face again"What was that you did i
