Luisa’s POV“Why did you do that?” Jenny whispered yell. “How can you advise him to allow her to move to the mansion?”Two days after the date, Clarissa moved into the mansion with her daughter. She had tried her best to move right beside Kingston’s room but he had insisted she move to the down floor. “I think it’s for the best”She raised the cup in her hand to me. She was working in the kitchen, while I sat down on the counter. Kingston had officially stopped me from doing any maid-related work. “For the best! In what way exactly? It’s obvious that she doesn’t like you, and instead of you trying to avoid her and making sure that she is far from you. You are doing the opposite. I don’t get you, Luisa. You used to be smarter than this. What’s wrong with you?”I sighed. I know. I know it was not the best idea, but I wasn’t doing it for Clarissa’s sake. I did it because of Nelly. I knew how it felt to grow up without a father figure in my life, and I knew how much I hated m
Recently I found out that what I hated most was not being around Luisa. I had always thought doing things that wouldn’t fetch more money in my account was frustrating, but I found out that not seeing Luisa for a week was more frustrating and annoying. I had been avoiding travelling out for business because I wanted to be close to her, but there was no way I could avoid it anymore. Also, I would make sure I convince her to follow me on my next trip.“What are you staring at?” Jimmy’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. We were in a bar trying to let off some stress after dealing with meetings for five days straights. I took a sip of my drink, “What do you mean?”He raised his brow. I guess he was now in his friendship mood, and not a worker mood. “Something is bothering you?”I shook my head taking another sip of my drink. “I am not bothered about anything?”He wasn’t convinced, he was one of the few people I couldn’t lie to even if I was lying to myself. “Tell me what’s wrong.
Luisa’s POV“I miss you.”Kingston was gone just for a week, but it felt like he was gone for more than that. I had no idea I was going to miss him as much as I did. I pulled him closer hugging him, and taking in his scent. I had missed everything about him.I said I miss him because I truly did, so I was very surprised when he said it back to me. I wasn’t expecting it. “How was your trip?” I questioned while moving back to cut off the call. It was a conference call with my colleagues in school, so I believe they would understand why I was going offline all of a sudden.He smiled without responding. I know I have seen his face a lot of times, but it doesn’t change the fact that he was very handsome, especially with the smile on his face. Instead of responding, he pulled me closer and took my lips in his. I didn’t stop him because I wanted that also, but I didn’t want to initiate the kiss. He took my lips deeper in his and for a minute I forgot how to think. He had consumed a
Luisa’s POVThe day was brighter or it was just because of my happy mood. When I remembered what happened yesterday, I smiled. The fact that Clarissa was out of the house and Nelly was still living was good. She was not permitted to visit Nelly in the mansion, and whenever she wanted to see her, Nelly would be accompanied by a maid to visit her. That was a part of my source of joy, but waking up in King’s arms was the main reason for my happy mood. I barely slept throughout the night but I woke up with a bright smile.I was humming in the kitchen trying to prepare a meal for Chris before going to school when Jenny came in. She had decided to cut off the silent treatment, maybe because Clarissa had finally left the mansion. But knowing Jenny she couldn't be angry with me for a long time. “You seem to be in a happy mood today.”I nodded.She smiled, “Everyone is in a happy mood today. Everyone was talking about how amazing it was that Clarissa left the mansion, they can finally
Kingston’s POVI stared at the picture in my hand. It was the same picture that was sent to me of Luisa and that bastard, but this time he was handing a flower to Luisa. I squeezed the picture in my hand and threw it in the bin. It was obvious that someone was trying to set her up. I smiled because if there was really something going on, Jared would have informed me. The fact that Jared did not see it as something important meant it was nothing important.I called Seth, “I need everything you can dig on Derek Wilson, and I need it as soon as possible.”“Okay, sir.”If whoever was sending the picture was trying to play a game, then two can play the game perfectly. Why was Luisa their target? I bet what they were trying to do was break us up, but then what? After breaking us up, what will they do? Is the person interested in dating Luisa, or is it one of the competitors that had unfinished business with me? Whomever it was, I will find the person, and I was going to teach the pe
Luisa’s POVRejecting Derek’s flower in front of the crowd was not enough for him. I thought he would have gotten the message and let me be, but he got more serious about dating me. He started sending me notes at home, in school, and also when I was in where he was not supposed to know. I had thought he was a friend but he was taking it extremely too far. He was pissing me off, and I don’t need a friend that could not take hints.“Just report him as a stalker to the police,” Jenny said when I explained. I was also debating that. Why else would he know everywhere I was at the time I was there? He sure was a stalker.“That will be the best. I thought of him as my friend, and that was why I tried understanding him, but right now, I can’t see him as anything but a stalker.”She nodded. “You need to do it as soon as possible, and also tell the master about him. I’m sure he will want to do something to a man disturbing his fiancée.”I paused. Was it really the right course to inform
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
