Mrs Jane's pov, After my husband drove into our mansion and parked his car, he got out of the car, but I remained sitting inside the car. I was too troubled to move from my sitting position. I had too many regrets. Regrets which I knew were going to eat me up if I didn't resolve my troubled heart, which was my daughter, Adira. As her mother, I had wronged her and felt very uncomfortable and restless because of that. I wanted to go to her and apologize to her. But it was really, really troubling. I can't explain how troubled I was, but that was mostly because I had no idea where my daughter was. It has been a month, but no news about her. She never even called anyone in her family, especially me, her mother, who had her in my womb for nine months before she came into the world. But looking at things. It was worse that I was her mother, because I hurt her and did not believe her. I did not even ask her to tell me everything that happened between her and that stupid…Gosh. Look now
Michael's pov, 'What is going on in that small head of hers?’. I wondered. Didn't she get the hint that my company and I stand alone and have nothing to do with those people? What sort of brain does she have?Well, I didn't expect her to agree to work for me that easily. I understand her fears. She must think that me and that thing are close brothers, and that me approaching her was simply a scheme to set a trap for her because of her skills. But that was not my intention at all. “This is quite interesting. I will be back again. I won't easily give up, because I am up for the challenge”. I muttered with a smirk on the side of my lips. Everything that I have pursued, I have always succeeded in obtaining them. So, this problem wasn't a big deal for me. Sooner or later, I will have her working for my company. With exceptional skills like hers, my Ma-Kings jewelry company was about to enter an era of becoming more than unstoppable. That stupid thing. Even though he divorced her,
“My jewelry company, Ma-Kings”. Michael said to me and my eyes widened. Did I hear him say Ma-Kings? “That's impossible. Aren't you supposed to be a retired soldier? How come you have a company? I was expecting you to say something like the Glems company”. I admitted, but he frowned. Why do I feel like he gets offended any time I mention anything concerning his family?Like the time I mentioned Nathan. His mood turned sour, and he even called Nathan a thing. “Glems company isn't worth my time”. He plainly said to me. There was a moment of silence between both of us, before I chuckled. “Do you seriously want me to believe that you are the owner of the Ma-Kings jewelry company? The same Ma-Kings jewelry company that is almost every jeweler's dream? The same Ma-Kings jewelry company that topped the global sales charts for five years in a row and still counting? Is this supposed to be a joke or what?”. I said to him and was expecting him to break character, and tell me that it was al
“What are you doing here?”. I asked Michael and made sure to keep my distance from him. I wanted nothing to do with him or his family. “Aren't you going to invite me inside your house? Or are you going to continue to keep me standing here like this?”. He raised an eyebrow at me as he asked me. But I was unmoved. I wasn't going to let him inside Aunt Becky's house. I knew he had saved me before, but I was not going to allow that to be the reason for allowing him into Aunt Becky's home. For whatever reason he came here today, I didn't want to listen to it. “No. Please leave. I don't care who sent you to me. If it was Nathan, screw him”. I said with piercing eyes. But those piercing eyes of mine gradually disappeared after Michael frowned at me, as if what I had said provoked him. As he stepped down the seven steps stairs and approached me, I took several steps away from him, as I backed away from him. “Do I look like someone who would go on an errand for that thing you call a hum
In the blink of an eye, I could not see Adira anymore. I rose to my feet and had to touch the corner of my lips using my fingers after I noticed that I hadn't stopped smiling. It was as if someone cast a spell on me. I would actually believe it if someone told me that Adira had cast a smiling spell on me. It was not a bad feeling anyway, because I had missed this sweet feeling. I put the heart shaped pebble inside my purse, and allowed it to stay together with the small crystal I had bought. And staring one last time at the crowd of people who were busy discussing, buying, selling, and doing all sorts of their businesses, I turned around and left the jewelry market, heading to my car that was parked away from the market, since cars were not allowed to be parked inside the market area. After I located my car, I entered it and sat in the driver's seat, before taking out my cell phone to check the time. The time turned out to be 1pm. There were still two hours left before Joseph
Micheal's pov, I had driven away from the fancy restaurant, but since I wasn't ready to return to Blenka city, I parked my car off the road and remained inside the car. I began to think about whether I should locate Adira and ask her to work for my company. I knew that it wasn't my concern about her divorce with Nathan, since it wasn't my fault that things turned out the way they did. But, why do I feel reluctant to go to her and ask her to work for me?This feeling was weird. “I should leave her. She isn't the only talented jeweler they are out there”. I muttered to myself and prepared to drive away. I had already started my car's engine when I glanced at the second seat of my car and paused. It was the box of wristwatch that I saw, making me rethink my decision. Alright. I was going to give it a try, and I would succeed and not take no for an answer. After sighing, I turned off my car's engine and took out my cell phone from my pocket, before I gave Maximus a phone call. It w
