“I am sorry, you can not see Mrs Campbell” the guards by the gate tried to stop him. They didn’t quite look familiar and Kiel was a bit disturbed. These were not the guards that were usually stationed at the gate. When were they all replaced?He heaved a sigh and raked his hand through his hair, he was sweating profusely under the hot sun and these people didn’t realize he had to go inside to take a shower.“I am sure you are new here, aren’t you?” He asked them, “you must not know who I am”“Of course we know you” one of them answered, “Mr Kiel”His forehead creased into a slight frown. Why were they trying to stop him if they knew who he was?“Look gentlemen, I am very busy and I can not stay and chat with you. I suggest you let me through”He was still talking when the gates pushed open from the inside and one of the female workers ventured out of the gates, she had the garbage bag with her.The moment she saw Kiel, her face broke into a thin smile.“Young master” she bowed lightly
As soon as Kiel ventured into the hotel room, his phone beeped with a message but he didn’t bother to check it yet. He was too tired to tend to the phone at the moment, a shower and some rest would help but what Gladys said wound its way into his head again. Maybe there was a mistake somewhere, he didn’t even want to think about it, she must be very busy and that’s why it was difficult to talk to his wife.With that at the back of his head, Kiel grabbed a neat towel from the stand and plodded into the bathroom to have a nice shower. Standing under the sun for a while, his body was already reacting to it.After a few minutes, he walked back out from the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist and this was when he met his mobile phone ringing nonstop.Heaving a sigh, he picked it up and realized it was his wife. Immediately he pressed the receive button and placed the phone against his ear.“Hello” his deep husky voice rang into the phone, “luckily you called”“Did you check your
The moment Kiel stepped out of the Campbell mansion, he lowered himself on one of the road railing and buried his head in his palms. He was finding it hard to even understand what had happened. He was away for six months and his wife gave birth? Did it mean she was pregnant before he left? But how come he didn’t know? A lot was going on in his head as he sat outside the gates, he was not sure about what was going on in his life anymore.If anyone told him he was going to come home to such a thing, he would have just stayed back in turkey.“Hey” a familiar voice filtered into his ear and he raised his head to see Andrew standing beside him and he had a mocking smirk on his face. He didn’t even look ashamed of what he had done, how Kiel wanted to whack him hard across the face.“Why are you seated here like the loser that you are?” He asked, “you make yourself look so pathetic”“Why?” This was the only thing Kiel could ask, maybe Andrew would give him a better explanation for why he
Ishika had her phone in her hand as she made her way down the stairs, her forehead was creased into a frown and she looked angry.She has been calling her grandfather but he had blatantly refused to answer his call and even switched off his phone at a certain point. The thought of it annoyed her the most and she had just finished speaking with his assistant who assured her he was on his way to look for him.Her grandfather always does this, he would leave the house without telling anyone and come back late. When would he realize that he was not a teenage boy anymore?Heaving a long sigh, she lowered herself on the cushion and continued to dial his number but it was switched off, she was so angry.“Come on grandfather” she muttered under her breath.“Miss Ishika,” one of the security guards, walked up to her and bowed lightly, “it seems Elder Bharat has gone out with the deluxe taxi again. The gate man just told me”Ishika almost went mad with anger, why does he keep doing this?“His m
Kiel didn’t even know what to say as he kept staring at the old man and his granddaughter. He didn’t think he would be meeting someone as influential as this on the day he divorced his wife, this coincidence was just too good to be true.Pashanth Bharat was a name that everyone knew in the whole country. Ranging from wineries to automobiles companies to restaurants, fashion brands and even chains of factories, he had every single business a man can think of. He was the number one business mogul in the country and every other business owner wanted to be acquainted with him, this was a rare opportunity for him.“You look so surprised, young man” the old man said while sipping on his drink.“I wasn’t expecting to meet someone like you today”“I see”“I think we should get going now, grandfather. Is is getting late”“You should allow me to talk to him for a while,” the old man suggested.“Grandfather” Ishika was visibly frustrated, “you….”“I think you should listen to your granddaughter
After entering the house, Ishika angrily flung her jacket on the chair before turning to her grandfather who has lowered himself on the chair. The old man didn’t even look like he was in the least worried about how angry she looked, he was just glad to have had a good outing.“You must be proud of yourself” she half yelled, “how could you switch off your mobile phone like that, father?”“I knew you were going to come disturb me, my dear” Elder Bharat answered sincerely, “and you still did”“Don’t you even worry about your own health?” Ishika was genuinely angry, “do you know how worried I was?”“I just went out for some fresh air, Ishika,” she told him, “and as you can see, I am fine. I even had a drink with that young man. I can imagine what he is passing through”“I don’t think that is our business, father” she replied, “you just need to take care of yourself and your health, that is all i expect from you”“Of course my dear” he flashed her a smile, “this old bag of bones will liste
Ishita kept looking at him as he sipped on his coffee. There was something about him that intrigued her. She wasn’t sure what it was but it was definitely something. He looked and spoke with a lot of smartness and not to get started on his intellect, he was one of a kind.“What if this falls through?” She asked after a while and he chuckled lightly before dropping the coffee mug back on the table.“Of course not, miss Bharat” he began, “this will definitely be a success for you and I am certain they will be signing the contract by tomorrow. I have worked with such companies before, I know what they want. Avanti is a good company, I have met with their CEO once”His statement piqued her interest and She leaned forward on her chair, her gaze still on him.“You seem very versed in issues like this”“Yes” he responded with pride, “I worked So hard to get to the top of the food chain”“Does that mean your ex wife was a fool to have let a rare gem like you go?” She inquired again and Kiel
Kiel handed his friend a glass of wine before lowering himself on the couch, Winston was seated opposite him and he had a bizzare look on his face. He couldn’t believe what his friend told him over the phone, he wanted to hear from him face to face.When he hears the news that was circulating, that was when he called Kiel and he was surprised to find out it was true.How could rose do something like that? He has known the two of them for years now and they looked like they loved each other so how was this even possible? How could Rose do something of the sort?“Why do you keep looking at me with a weird look on your face?” He couldn’t help but ask Winston, “is there something you want to say?”“You are so chilled about the fact that your wife cheated on you and asked for a divorce Kiel, I mean the whole news is everywhere. I stopped my the office today and people won’t stop talking about it”“It is what it is, winston” Kiel continued, “maybe if I didn’t travel for six months, this wou
