" Don't you know how to put yourself in people's shoes for once? I taught you better, Destiny." Dennis looked disappointed in her.
It pained her.Destiny exhaled and spoke calmly. "I will be disappointed in you if you keep siding with Richard, grandpa.""I'm not siding with him or saying whatever he did was right but he's human...""No. Don't tell me sleeping around with another woman is a mistake, Grandpa. Richard knew what he was doing." She cut her grandfather off before he could finish his sentence.Destiny doesn't back down if she sets her mind to something. Her grandfather is only trying his luck because he knows no amount of words is going to change her granddaughter's mind."But he's begging to be forgiven. It means he realized what he did."Destiny's hand went up to her forehead as she began to pace to and fro on the balcony, massaging it. This conversation with her granDestiny was in a puddle of emotions and mixed feelings as she drove to see the person who called her yesterday while she was at the verge of breaking down.Dennis wouldn't look at her yesterday and he didn't take the breakfast she made for him but the helper's.This was a worry to her. If Dennis should feel too pressured with all this, it's going to detriment his health.Her phone suddenly began to ring and thinking it's Karen, she picked it up. "Hello, don't worry. I'm on my way."Once she said that the call ended. Puzzled, she looked at the number and realized it wasn't Karen's number and not any she knew.She put the phone down on the dashboard and pulled through the gate into the Davidson's house.Not only was the Davidson's noted to be good but they are childhood friends of Destiny's parents. She feels closer to her parents when she's around Karen even though she hates that fact.That is also the reason why Dennis wan
Destiny's lip curved into a wicked smile. "Don't you think you should be mindful of how you socialize with me? I can fire you anytime.""I don't doubt that but I'd love to see you try it." He grinned, his gorgeous aquamarine flicking.Wilhelm leaned back against his chair, swinging it leisurely while he directly stared at Destiny, checking her out openly and making her uncomfortable."Sure." She walked around to take her seat. "Brief me on the schedule for today.""I think I should ask you that." He swung the chair towards where Destiny just sat.Destiny raised her brows at him questionably."You're my assistant." He added.Without a word, She called for his secretary. If she should reply to every one of his tantrums, she'll get mad and hire a hitman before they are even near closing.'I guess a piece of duct tape across the lips will shut him up and I won't have to stain my hands with his blood.'Destiny thought
Broad shoulders, sharp jaws, straight pointed nose, a freaky amazing perfectly gelled hair, a skin-deep beautiful yet dangerous face, and an ugliness that hits straight to the bone. It's him in all his arrogance. Nature just shouldn't have given anything to be so dazzled about on him.Destiny would love to turn around and leave, thinking that she came to the wrong place but Linda has mentioned Arabella and pointed to this table specifically.If anyone is mistaking here, then it's him or he just purposely hijacked the table. He likes to trouble her that much.Wilhelm must've felt her presence because he raised his gaze from his phone.Destiny watched him blink. As if he wasn't believing that she's the one. He swept his eyes from Destiny's face to her body. He stopped at her lower part, the curve from where her hips are formed. He lingered too long."Excuse me. I think you missed your way." Destiny said, suddenly feeling conscious of th
Destiny spun graciously to face him. "Who did you say you are waiting for again?""Someone worth spending my time on.""Well," Destiny stretched her hand towards him. He got the hint and stood on his feet."Wilhelm Grey.""Destiny Blackmore. Am I worth your time?"" Of course, Pleasure meeting you. Have a seat." He gestured to the seat in front of him.Destiny sat. Okay. So it's official. She's doing this with him.He raised his gaze towards a waiter. He nodded and after a minute, he was by the table with water and a bottle of champagne."Which one do you think we start with, Destiny?"She couldn't help noticing how nice it feels when he mentions her name instead of the 'Tiny' he normally says. She hoped that this little pretense would go on well without anyone having to rip each other's throat out."I’m okay with just water." Picking the bottled water, she poured some for herself. The last thing
“Well, It was mostly the nice things about you. For someone who wanted to get her brother to woo her friend, only that can be expected right?"Destiny's face heated in mortification. Oh so he knew. Now she's sure that Arabella deserves her strangle."And?""She also told me how super feisty you can be, stubborn and a slice of arrogance.""Is that all?"He nodded, clearing his plate to the side and raising a glass of water to his lips."I don't believe you."He went in thought for a while as if trying to remember the bits. "She told me something about your grandfather being the only closest relative. Does that even count? There's something else she told me though. He smirked mischievously."What is it?" Destiny's heart started beating. She prayed it wasn't anything embarrassing about her.But will Arabella do that?"That you married a virgin and if I had been fast enough, then I wou
Richard didn't look sad or heartbroken. If anything, he looked pissed. All that could be seen in his eyes was sheer hate. Maybe his heartbreak revoked that.His nostrils flared as his jawsclenched along with his fist beside him. The rapid rise and fall of his chest made it known that he was boiling inside and still trying to keep the lid on but his steam seems to overpower the energy required to keep the lid on. The contortion of his face made him look almost beastly, unrecognizable.And what Wilhelm asked definitely was enough to set any man who still wanted his wife back ablaze with anger right?"You're a shame, Destiny. I thought you were brought up better than this." Richard expressed his disappointment."If you cheat is cool but if she does, it’s a grave sin huh?" Wilhelm asked."You stay out of this. You don't know anything.""I know you cheated on her and she dumped your ass for me, end of story. What else is
"How on earth did he get to know anyway? I thought I paid off the waiter well enough." Destiny spoke out loud to herself."Well, did they not say Wilhelm is cunning? He must have outwitted the guy and made him spill or gave him five times of my tip. Worse, maybe the waiter is indiscreet. He easily fell in cahoots with Wilhelm I think." She snorted. "He couldn't even keep a common secret. What a shame!""Oh, why didn't I think of this earlier? They both have a flawless similar accent." Her eyes met her face in the mirror and she groaned."That is it then. I was the freaky American trying to turn them against each other. The villain."However,The actual villain is Arabella. If she had not set her up then maybe, just maybe, she could be herself with Arabella and freely tell her she wasn't satisfied after she had said the food was enough.And of course, Richard won't appear and think that she's dating the bastard who didn't kiss h
"So why can't you take on the work?" She turned to Dennis. She was about to step out of the house."What?""Why do you have to employ someone to be the CEO of your own family property?"She sighed. "I don't want to be out of your sight.""It doesn't matter anymore since I don't want you to.""Grandpa." Her eyes welled up. Hearing him say that is like a stab in the chest."You've been educated to the highest level, you're smart and efficient. You can be the CEO instead of employing someone you don't even know.""I know..." She wanted to say she knows him and that he's Arabella's brother but she bit her lips."I know I promised not to get involved anymore but this is Wilhelm Grey we're talking about here. He has also been fighting for the number one position in the market for a long-time. It will only take him a second to pull us down to get to the top.""Mr. Grey's company is into clubs and r
