Diana, being the only heiress of the Balmorris, has been the center of attention. Many wanted her, but that night Mikhael felt an extreme inferiority towards her.Mikhael's thoughts were interrupted as he felt the weight of someone's gaze upon him. He turned to see a woman standing nearby, her eyes fixed on him with a sly smile playing on her lips, demanding his attention."Hey handsome," she purred, her voice laced with a hint of seduction. Mikhael's initial irritation was momentarily replaced by a flicker of curiosity. Who was this woman, and why was she singling him out?He glanced around, half expecting her to be addressing someone else, but soon realized that she was indeed talking to him."Are you talking to me?"The woman took a step closer, closing the distance between them. Her eyes gleamed with a mixture of mischief and desire."I couldn't help but notice you," she said, her voice carrying a teasing undertone. "You have company tonight?"Mikhael's forehead knotted. He is her
The scene of what Isabella did to me kept crawling under my skin countless times. As much as I wanted to take revenge on her, I couldn't help but think about the child growing inside me. Because of that, there were many things I had to postpone, but that didn't mean it would end there."How is Percival doing?" Aaron asked me. I had decided on the baby's name while walking along the shore one day, and the news had spread quickly since the island was small and the community was closely knit."He's doing well," I replied, smiling at him. He had brought me sweet mangoes from their farm once again. "Thank you for the mangoes.""All for you," he said, and I still couldn't quite get used to his constant attentiveness.Tonight was the festival, and though I hadn't agreed to be his partner yet, I had decided to attend. They said there would be plenty of food to enjoy."Let's go, Ariakne!" Marina, one of my staff members, called out. She had long wavy hair and dark skin, radiating a natural bea
"What are you doing here?" is the first thing that I asked. My forehead autotically crease because of the man that has been standing before me. His eyes automatically wonder in my tummy."So it's true," he said with a bitter tone."You know if you have nothing good to say, you need to go because I have no time for you---" I was about to close the door when he had stopped me."W-wait, Diana!" Mikhael told me with and stopped me from closing the door."What?" I asked irritatedly.Ï need to talk to you, please," he told me and looked at me straight in the eyes, "Please," I looked at him for a few moments before sighing."Fine," I opened the door, "Welcome to my house, and don't judge!" I told him because it was just a small house and not his typical big house. He has been living in mansions that this townhouse is just like his room. But contrary to my expectation, he smiled at me.Ï brought you fruits," I frowned at his response. Mikhael, on his exact opposite has told me that so it was
In Meredith Country, there used to be a business war clash. The central district--- where the biggest business in the world had their branches built, and one of them is the Balmorris Family, the family that has a hundred chain restaurants. Meanwhile, the Montreal family,, had the farms and freshly produced vegetables used as their primary ingredients for the foods. That is why the merging of the family is such a big deal for everyone in the country. Breaking News: The Blackstone Heir has arrived in Meredith Country today! Will he finally take over the Blackstone Empire? That is the headline of most of the news outlets that I see. The Blackstone Family is not your typical elite family--- they are much more powerful than that. They had been ruling the underworld of the country, even though I, as one of those rich and elite, our family did not want to get entangled with them. I put down my phone on the table as the designer came in to put on my makeup. Today is the day. I should not h
RInggggggg.... "The chairman is calling, Sir," his assistant said and instead of rushing to follow the woman, he had stopped to take the call. His assistant was busy cleaning after his mess and then, several people that had a full coat suit had entered the bar. "Boss!" they said and lined up. He glared at them before he answered the call from his grandfather. They are the BS Mafia, the most notorious and known in the S City. They show no mercy for the ones who had fought with them, that is why, tonight is the end of Jarus. "Did you take care of it?" he asked with a very cold voice that will send shiver in your spine. "Yes," he said, "We'll be taking him there right away." "Good." and then he suddenly laughed, "Will you be coming with your girlfriend tonight?" "What?" and his forehead knotted. "You know that we had a deal. When you come back, you should get married. Unless you do not want to inherit the company?" he grinned on the other line because he knew that he had caught
It was very awkward and I blushed so hard. He immediately come out after that, I must say that he still has a gentleman side.I was given a chance to take a bath and had a pair of clothes. That man! What did he do to me last night?! Or... did I do anything?!"Argh..." I tried to punch the wall in front of me while showering. There were a lot of things happening right now that my mind don't seem to keep up. I try to remember but to no avail.When I am done preparing, a small knock appeared on the door.Hah! Do they really think that they can punish me like that? I checked the window earlier and had found where I can use to escape. I grinned, after all, I was a scout-- someone who used to break the rules.I raised my middle finger in the villa. I had successfully escape from that villa and is running in the woods to whoever know who. Bye, Mister! I hope I never see you again.I had reached my unit and to my surprise, there is no one there. I never had such a peaceful life in a while. I
Breaking news: The Balmorris and Montreal family broke the long-time partnership they had for ages, wedding of the century no more?!I hated this kind of headline, no matter the year. Ever since the moment that the media has captured us, I have been in the center of it. What more, our family is affected by this so much that the stocks-- and the Montreal family pulling out their supplies took a toll on our business. Moreover, my image has worsened and there are several investors who do not want to get involved in our family.That is why I am here in front of the coffee shop with Mikhael. I need to help my father--- I need to save the company because there are thousands of people depending on us. It has been a week.I secluded myself in my condo, crying nonstop and not being able to be myself because of what happened. And here he is sitting in front of me with an uptight expression-- like what happened between us is a joke."What do you want?" I asked him with an irritated face. He look
"So, this is where you are," a firm hand held my wrist and I gasped. I was almost slapped in my face and that had shocked me, and this man had saved me. I looked up only to see his godly features. Those green eyes and firm muscles, his long pointed nose and red lips are something to die for. Oh my gosh! Why am I hallucinating at this time?!"Let go of me!" I immediately retorted. I was in the middle of my tantrums and lashing out at my cheating ex-fiancee and his pregnant girlfriend in front of me and I did not notice who he was. Many people are looking at us right now, and I know this is not good for my public image, but… I don’t care anymore!“You bitch who dare steal my fiancee, how dare you show yourself in front of me!” I said and stood up and faced Mikhael. “Stop it, Diana, we are in a public place!” he said when there were a lot of people who were looking at and watching us. Only the elite people have access to private dining like this, so it’s a big deal me doing scandalous
