Kingston’s POVA fraud. Derek was nothing but a fraud. Yet, he usually escapes easily because he was a lawyer. He knew how to manipulate his things in a way that no one was going to suspect him or find any evidence against him. In fact, no one had suspected him so far. To them, he was a lawyer they could rely on. I had no idea how he had been playing his games so far, but he had definitely chosen the wrong player to play his game with. Seth had been able to find out what he does, and I was thinking of giving him a bonus because of that.I called Jared informing him to keep closer eyes on Luisa. The only reason the bastard was lurking around Luisa was that he wanted to harm her – but it was not going to happen on my watch. While Seth was sending the details about him, he also emphasized how close he was with Clarissa.I called Fabio, he was in charge of a spy service. I had used his services in the past to monitor competitors, and he was really good at what he does. To me, th
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVENLuisa’s POV“What did the master say when you told him? Was he angry with you?” Jenny asked. We were sitting in a love park in the college, trying to come up with ideas for our assignment. The assignment was essential and due to be submitted soon, but all Jenny cared about at the moment was Kingston’s reaction when I told him about Derek.It was unusual of me, but since she was delaying our work. I decided to tease her too. I feigned sad, “You know, I didn’t want to tell him. You were the one who convinced me to tell him, and now he is angry with me.”She raised a brow and sighed softly, “I don’t believe you. I don’t think there is anything you can do to make the master angry with you.”I puffed, “That’s because you weren’t there to see his reaction when I told him about Derek.”She wasn’t convinced, “Just cut the act. I know you are teasing me. If he had reacted the way you claimed, you would have come back home crying that day. I know you that much.”I sm
Kingston’s POVClarrisa is partners with Derek.I stared at the message on my phone. One of the guys Fab sent was the one who sent the message. It didn’t take him this long to discover that, then they must be very close; closer than I thought. I closed the message and called my personal assistant to cancel all meetings scheduled for the day. I already sent a sample to a hospital regarding Nelly’s DNA, no one knew about it, and that’s fine by me. I did not want them to send the result to me, so I was going to receive it myself from the hospital.“You have got a lot in your head these days,” Jimmy said rather than ask. I guess he when we just hang out and talk.Yeah. I nodded. We barely went out anymore, when I wasn’t working. I was always with Luisa.My thoughts were focused on getting to the hospital, and soon we were at the hospital, I went directly to the doctor’s office.“Good day, Mr Sanchez. The result is ready.” He brought it out immediately as if he knew I was eager to
Luisa’s POVEverywhere was quiet, and everyone stood silent. No one was willing to make a sound afraid that they might annoy Kingston. I was also quiet with Chris sitting on my leg as if he could sense the atmosphere, he was also quiet sucking on a toy soldier's arm.Kingston had returned from work and asked Miss Andreas to assemble all the maids in front of him. Apart from the day I was screened as a maid in the mansion, I had never seen all the maid assembly. Jenny mouthed, “What’s going on?”I had no idea what was happening, so I mouthed back, “No idea.”Not just Jenny but most of the maids were looking at me like a source of information. Kingston had gone inside to change. Yet, no one could whisper for the fear of him. I was so focused on watching Jenny's mouth that I had no idea Kingston was back until I heard Chris, “Dada.”He lifted Chris off my hand and placed him on his lap. “My instruction will be very simple. I don’t want to see Clarissa or Nelly in this mansion. An
Kingston’s POVMy phone had been buzzing all day with my mother’s call. I had ignored every one of her calls intentionally, but she was very stubborn about it. I knew what she wanted to discuss. I knew the only reason she wanted to talk to me urgently was because of Clarissa, and I was not interested in anything that involved her.I was in a meeting when my phone buzzed again. The men paused to stare at me. “What’s going on? Do you have to pick that?”It was my mother. “Don’t bother. It’s nothing urgent.”I opened the file in front of me. “As I was saying, it will be best to get the land now. There is a high possibility of the rate of that particular land increasing soon. If we purchase it and build a complex apartment it is going to be in our favour.”The men nodded. I loved keeping my managers informed of major projects, or whenever we were trying to acquire a new property that would need a new manager. I tried bringing them all together to evaluate who I could put in char
Luisa’s POV“We are here to take you on a date.” I said with a slight smile. What if it was a bad idea and he was too busy to go on date? I never thought this far while planning; all I wanted to do was take his mind off Nelly. He might not act it, but I felt he was hurt by the fact that she was not his daughter. He must have been hurt that someone he once cared about could go to such lengths to deceive him.“You and Chris.” He asked.I nodded, “I decided to make it a family date. I feel we haven’t been spending more time with Chris, so this is an opportunity to spend time with him.”He placed a kiss on Chris's forehead, “Okay. So, where do you guys plan to take me?” I could see the amusement in his eyes, and I was glad to be the reason he was feeling this way.“That is a surprise. I hope we are not disturbing your work.”He carried Chris in one hand and started closing files with the other, “No, it’s perfect. I am not too busy.”I sat on the couch watching him pack up things on h
Kingston’s POVMy father sat quietly behind his desk with a newspaper in his hand. He focused on it like he hadn’t summoned me to his office that morning. I waited on him quietly. When he was down taking in all he wanted from the newspaper, he folded it back on his desk. “What’s going on with your daughter?”Mother; I knew she was more interested in my life than I was but I never knew she was going to report me to my father. I leaned back on my chair, “You know the sort of son you have, dad. I am not someone who is going to abandon his biological daughter just because I don’t want to have a relationship with her mother.”He nodded, “I trust you, son. What are we going to do about your mother?”I laughed. She had really put my father in a tight position. He hardly says no to her. I was sure she had instructed him to make sure I listen to him, probably; she wanted him to command me to take Nelly back.“We just have to let her see she is wrong? I want her to know that she doesn’t
Luisa’s POVIf everything was suddenly going as expected, things were going better than you had imagined. It was a bad omen. With Clarissa and Nelly out of our lives, things were easier at home. I was finally getting used to being the mistress of the mansion. My future mother-in-law was also out of communication with me it was as if she had lost interest in the marriage plannings all of a sudden. To me, it was an amazing thing. It seemed everything was working for my good. My match-making duty was also going fine. I could see the friendship budding between Nick and Jenny; I was proud of myself. I just wanted to try, I had no idea I was going to make such an impact on them.Chris was seated between my tight with his tab in front of him; we were watching the kiddie's show and trying to get the wordings in ‘Baby shark’ when the door to my room suddenly opened without a knock. There was no one in the mansion who had the audacity to barge into the room, not even miss Andreas. I turne
