LOGINAt Robinsons Family mansion.
As Nathan came down from his car, he happened to run into Jane William. When he saw her, his expressionless face immediately darkened with disdain. Jane as usual put up a smile and called out to him affectionately, “brother Nathan, you are here too. Grandpa invited me over for dinner , since we are all here let’s go in quickly and not keep grandpa waiting,” after speaking she tried to hold Nathan’s hand. Nathan took a step backward to avoid her touch, and said coldly, “i don’t like strangers touching me,” after saying that he walked past her. Jane stomped her feet in anger and gritted her teeth, he didn’t only avoid my touch, but also called me a stranger, how am I a stranger? I have always been with him since childhood till now, how can he not notice me? How can he not love me? I have done everything for him to accept me yet he keeps on rejecting me? Am I not beautiful enough? Jane asked herself all this questions without getting an answer. Jane as a pampered princess who has not been humiliated by anyone before, nor has any man rejected her advances, was very angry. Nathan not only humiliated her but also rejected her. How can she accept this. She was fuming but didn’t know how to let it out, after all in the present of Nathan and grandpa Robinson, she had to maintain the image of a well behaved girl in other to achieve her goal. Suppressing her emotions, she followed Nathan inside. As soon as grandpa Robinson saw Jane his face lit up with joy, and he called out to her softly. “Our Jane is here.” Jane smiled as she gently walked up to grandpa, Her tone playful, “grandpa, how are you doing? How is your health?” Grandpa is fine and my health is good, except for this rascal, who wants me to die of anger. Grandpa Robinson answered glancing over at his grandson Nathan. “Grandpa, you should always take care of your health and always drink enough water,” Jane said “Our Jane is so thoughtful and grandpa will listen to Jane. By the way , Jane, this one you two came home together it seems that you two are finally getting along well ?” Mr Robinson couldn’t help but asked. He had been worried that they might never get along but seeing them together made his tense mind ease a bit. He believes that if they could get along they will definitely fall In love with each other in the future . At this point Nathan who has been silent for a while now, quickly denied . “No! I just happened to run into miss William downstairs.” He used the term “ms. William” clearly showing his distance. The moment turned awkward immediately, “Master the dishes had been served.” just then the butler’s voice rang out, disrupting the awkwardness. At the dining table. “Jane you should eat more, you are so skinny,” Mr Robinson advised as he put more food on Jane’s bowl “All these are your favorite, I specifically asked the chef to prepare them for you,” Mr Robinson said. “Thank you grandpa you’re so good to me.” “Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? This is your home , if anyone tries to bully you, make sure to tell grandpa, and grandpa will surely avenge you, no matter who bullies you, even if it’s Nathan.” If anyone does not know better, they will think that Jane is his granddaughter while Nathan is his grandson in-law. Despite how Mr Robinson scold Nathan, he cares deeply for him, after all Nathan is the child he raised himself. “grandpa don’t worry, no one will bully me and if the tries I will let grandpa know,” Jane replied. “This food is so delicious,” she added. “If you like it then you should come over for dinner more often,” grandpa advised. “I don’t want to bother grandpa, but since grandpa invited me I won’t be polite.” Jane said with a smile her eyes fixed on Nathan, as if to say “did you hear that? “How can that be considered as bothering me, you’re Nathan’s fiancée, and the daughter in-law I’ve chosen. So treat this place like your home from now on, whenever you are in trouble the Robinson family will protect you,” Mr Robinson said sincerely. Mr Robinson has always loved and treated Jane as his granddaughter since she was a child, so when Michael Robinson , His son brought up this arranged marriage between Nathan and Jane , he quickly agreed . Having known Jane since she was younger, Mr Robinson thought that she was the perfect candidate to become Mrs Robinson and Nathan’s wife. At the mention of becoming Nathan’s wife, Jane’s eye lit up.she couldn’t help but wonder what it will look like walking down the aisle with a perfect man like Nathan . Who is Nathan? He is the world richest man! A man who could influence economic development! A man who is like a god! The hottest man who is every woman dream lover! The man standing at the top of the world! Every woman wants to climb Nathan’s bed but none has ever succeeded and she is not an exception . Jane was glad her father paved way for her, now she can become Mrs Robinson. Thinking of how her fellow women will be looking at her with an eye full of envy, her mood lifted up. “I will listen to grandpa”, she answered calmly. They continued chatting. Although Jane was chatting with Mr Robinson, her eyes were fixed on Nathan who ate his food in silence without joining the conversation. Jane had been in love with Nathan since childhood and had done everything possible to get Nathan’s attention, but all to no avail .Nathan treats everyone coldly and she is not an exception. She will not give up, she has to marry Nathan or no one will.. she assured herself. Today she dressed so seductively, that no man could resist her. But Nathan was not just any man, being a business prodigy since he was 16, he had seen more beautiful women with great figure, yet he had been single for years which proved that he can’t be swayed by just look Some people even gossip that he is a gay, but all those things are rumors. Could it be that Nathan has someone he loves? But over the years , I haven’t seen him with any woman., nor had he publicly acknowledged being in a relationship. Maybe he has someone in his mind but they are not together, Jane thought. Even though thinking about this makes her uncomfortable, she knows that Mr Robinson will not approve of Nathan and his lover being together. She will soon become Nathan’s wife, he can only think about the other woman in his mind. Little did Jane know that her assumptions were true and that Nathan had someone he love, and the woman is no other, than her cousin sister Stephanie.“Uncle Shane! Stephanie is missing! We were playing near the river and then she was gone!” Jane said, eyes wide and innocent. Shane’s face went pale. He and Jane immediately ran back to the river area to look for her. That’s when they saw her. In the distance, Stephanie was half in the water, half on the bank, desperately trying to drag a boy out. Her face was blue from the cold and she was shaking, but she refused to let go. “Stephanie!” Shane shouted. He and two other men rushed in and helped her. Together, they pulled both children out of the river. Stephanie was on the verge of drowning herself. She had used the last of her strength to keep Nathan’s head above water. Both children were rushed to the hospital immediately. Nathan had swallowed a lot of water and had a fever for three days. Stephanie had a bad cold, but she recovered quickly. Although Stephanie was unconscious and didn’t say a word, Mr Robinson knew that no one would dare try to harm his grandson
She was afraid that her mother would make a move on Stephanie children first and that would trigger Stephanie to post the pictures on the internet, If Margaret found out Jane was still seeing Jorge, she would lose it. Two years ago, Margaret had warned her: to cut ties with Jorge.saying he was useless. And would ruin her . She had told Jane to focus on being Nathan’s wife , even if Nathan doesn’t love her and would never touch her , at least they would continue loving life of luxury . Jane had promised she had cut ties with Jorge . If her mother found out she lied, she would be in even more trouble. Margaret stopped pacing and looked at her daughter. Disappointment, fury, and fear all warred on her face. “You’re stupid, Jane,” Margaret said coldly. “You can’t even do anything tight . Just hope that does your accomplice doesn’t betray you. If not , even if Nathan doesn’t come for you , the police would . After all kidnapping is illegal. Jane’s jaw clenched. In her heart, a vo
5:00 AM.Jane woke up feeling groggy and disgusted.Her back ached. Her hair smelled like cheap detergent. And her skin itched from the scratchy hotel blanket.She had stayed in a small, rundown hotel on the outskirts of Star City last night because she was terrified of going home.Mr. Robinson, Nathan’s grandfather, had assured her yesterday night that "Nathan wouldn’t dare touch her."But Jane knew Nathan better than anyone. They had grown up together.If Nathan was determined to do something, no one could stop him. Not even Mr. Robinson.Jane was afraid that Nathan would send his men to her house in the middle of the night to drag her away. So she made the decision to disappear for a few hours.Staying in a five-star hotel was out of the question. Most of the luxury hotels in Star City were owned by Robinson Group. It wouldn’t take Nathan 10 minutes to find out which room she was in.So for the first time in her life, Jane slept in a cheap motel.The moment she walked into the room
Nathan also knew that Stephanie wouldn’t tell him anything until he woke up. So he forced himself to close his eyes and drift into sleep.He lay down on the stiff hospital bed and stared at the white ceiling for a while. The antiseptic smell, , the dull ache in his shoulder... it all made it difficult for him to sleep . He exhaled deeply , shut his eyes, and let exhaustion take over.A few minutes later, his breathing evened out. He had finally drifted off to sleep.Watching his steady breathing, Stephanie let out a quiet sigh of relief. For now, she had avoided the conversation. But deep down, she knew she wouldn’t be able to dodge it when he woke up. The question was already hanging in the air between them: But she needed time to think. What exactly was she going to say?A few minutes later, the door opened softly and Nicholas and Henry walked back in. Both of them looked tired, but concerned.Stephanie turned to them and forced a calm smile. “Nathan woke up earlier after the doct
Morning light crept through the thin hospital curtains.7:15 AM.Room 301 was quiet except for the steady beep of the heart monitor.Nathan was still not awake.The oxygen mask was gone. The ventilator was gone. In their place was just a thin tube of oxygen under his nose and the heavy bandage on his shoulder. His face was still pale, but there was color in his cheeks now. She knew that Nathan wasn’t awake yet , because Henry would have called to inform her if Nathan was awake.Stephanie walked into the room carrying a themos containing a warm water for Nathan.She had not slept a wink last night , the incident of last night kept replaying in her head. She and Nathan wasn’t that close but when he saw she was in danger , he had rushed in to save her . How could she not feel touch .When Stephanie walked in , Nicholas wax still asleep . He was coiled up in a small sofa in the room fast asleep. He must have dozed off for an hour because even when Stephanie walked in , he didn’t open h
The hospital was unnaturally quiet at 1:40 AM.Fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting a cold white glow across the empty corridors. The smell of antiseptic stung Stephanie’s nose the moment she stepped through the automatic doors.Her heels clicked against the polished floor as she rushed to the reception desk. Her hands were trembling.“Excuse me,” she said, voice hoarse. “I’m looking for Nathan Robinson. He was brought in about 30 minutes ago. Gunshot wound.”The nurse looked up, then down at her computer. “Room 301. ICU. Only family is allowed for now.”Stephanie nodded and ran.When she reached the third floor, Nicholas was already there. He was leaning against the wall outside Room 301, arms crossed, his jaw tight. Henry stood beside him, his shirt still stained with Nathan’s blood.The moment Nicholas saw her, his eyes narrowed.“You came,” he said coldly.Stephanie ignored the accusation in his tone. “How is he?”“The bullet missed his vital organs,” Henry answered before
“I’m an orphan, I lost my parents in a ghastly car accident. Luckily, I survived even though I was in the car with them. I was in coma for two months, when I finally woke up I was adopted by my father’s best friend who had only one child since I have no relatives from my both parents.. They Gu fami

On getting home, the house was quiet .Shane Williams had gone to the company and hadn’t returned.Remembering something, Stephanie glanced at the two children who were playing with their phones as if nothing happened.“Don’t tell your grandpa about this, I don’t want him to worry.”The twins nodde
