Hello everyone, so sorry for the delay. The previous month was a bit packed with personal commitments for me. And then I also had emotional breakdown for some reasons🥹🥲 No amount of apology will make up for the delay. Hence, I'll try my best to upload this book. Another chapter on the way. I'll daily update this book again. Stay tuned 🥹🥰😇 And thank you so much for staying with me so far.
88Karson tried not to shake as his lips twisted in fury."You’ve had more chances than I can count. And every single time, you turned gold into garbage. But sure— why not give you the company next? Maybe toss you the keys with a ribbon on top?" He gritted his teeth in disgust.He shoved Kevin back dismissively and added, "This isn’t one of your get-rich-quick fantasies, punk. S.L Corporation is not a toy! I won’t let you anywhere near that company. You never had any right on it before, not now. Just go away before I lose my mind.""Who said I don't have a right?" Kevin was far from done speaking. He took a step backwards as he laughed.While earlier the words seemed to have been shoved into his mouth, now whatever he said came right from his heart."I wasn't born to Sophia Lawson, but I'm her husband's son... Y
87A tiny voice, aggravating and enraging at that, rang out from somewhere in his mind and said, "Too bad that she was taken. We could've changed it, though?! All you had to do was get her divorced— you had plenty of ways to get it done— and then she would have been yours. What's the point of thinking about it now? She's gone... And she doesn't want to be found again, remember!""No one's waiting on me. Neither am I." Kyle shouted, more to that tiny voice in his mind than at his father. He focused on his father's face and glowered harder. "I'm happy in my life the way I am. I'll send another set of agreement tomorrow morning and this time you'll have to sign them.""Not unless you get married." Karson said with a calm look. Kyle had lost it. He slapped an antic piece off a table near the sofa set. The noise made Ruby clutch her mouth. Her eyes set ablaze and mouth trembled because it was expensive, and Kyle had no right to break anything in this house. This was HER HOUSE and everythi
86The clock struck Ten past ten when Kyle closed his laptop. He clutched his head in one hand and rubbed his eyes with the fingers of the other. It was a painfully long and tiring day. Though he didn't have any meetings to attend physically, the online conferences with delegates overseas took most of his time and energy.He slid his chair back to touch the ends of his shoes, stretching his back. After performing stretching exercises for a quarter hour, he grabbed his phone and purse. He sat in the car and ordered his driver to take him to his father.Kyle somewhere knew it was going to be time-consuming as his father had clearly stated he wasn't signing the agreement so soon, he still tried to give it a shot. He barged inside the house with an air of authority and charm. His shoes thudded slightly on the marbled floor as he stopped across from the set of couches where his father was enjoying late-evening coffee with a phone in his other hand."So, you signed the papers? Where are the
85Kyle felt a flash of irritation. He expected it to go quietly and without much conversation, and take hardly more than ten minutes. "You're in no position to put any kind of condition, Mr. Panther. That company belongs to me. I have a birth right on it. No one can stop me from possessing it." He stated through gritted teeth. Ruby shook in a fit of rage after hearing those words. "What is wrong with you, jerk! I didn't know you intended to take one of Karson's company. If I had even the slightest idea about it then I would have never persuaded him to meet you." She shifted from one foot to another. Not that her husband had any less property, she just didn't want any of it to go to Kyle. Not even a small paper clip that was brought from her husband's money! Since Karson's first wife died, Kyle stopped being his son. She had made sure of that when she sent Kyle away to boarding school. That was supposed to sever any tie they had. Above all, Kyle was well established in his life.
84Days passed in a jiffy as Jasmine worked on herself. She would work out in the apartment during the day and go out for a walk in the park after night had crept in. Sky had resumed going to work, and since she was an international flight attendant, she returned home in days sometimes.Though Jasmine missed Sky around, she had started learning to adapt without her. What she missed more was Kyle! Yeah, her thoughts wandered off to the man in question every night before going to bed. When she reflected on her day and how productive it has been, she would also think about Kyle and say a soft prayer for him.Jasmine's wound had healed too. Sky came home a day ago, and she took Jasmine to the clinic for last checkup. The doctor was happy with her recovery and how she was getting back in shape. Currently she was using scar-fading cream and taking supplements for a better and healthy lifestyle.On the other hand, Kyle had grown more arrogant. While Jasmine was healing and moving forward, K
83"Sir..." Mari rubbed her hands together. "I think..." "Yes, Mari? What do you think?" He asked and seeing her rubbing her hands worriedly he mentioned, "For this one time, just forget that you're my employee. Think of yourself as my adviser. An adviser who's to help me see through a misty situation. Can you do that?" "Come and sit here first." He dragged out the plush seat from across the dressing table and gestured to her with his head to sit down. Mari did as she was told, but she squeezed her knees together and gulped down the hard knot of apprehension below her throat. This might be casual for Kyle Panther to have his mere Housekeeper sit in front of him and talk with him like an adviser— Like having someone below his rank beside him was nothing out of the ordinary — for Mari, though, it made her hackles rise. While other masters treated their house help like worms and insects, he was making her sit on an expensive, velvet surfaced plush seat and talk with him. His very own
