Daisy knew that she could not force Alicia to talk. She replied, "Alright. Actually, I am thinking of breaking up with Damian.""Why are you telling me this?" Alicia asked calmly, as she did not want Daisy to break her relationship with Damian.Some other nurses looked at them, wondering which Damian Daisy was referring to. But no one chimed in on their conversation."I am just telling you as my friend. My brother told me to stay away from Damian because of offending Maria. And I do not want to get kidnapped," Daisy said, alas, and the next question that Alicia asked her shocked her to the bones."Do you love Damian?" asked Alicia."What? No, well, I do not know. I like him because he is handsome and wealthy. Like who wouldn't like him," Daisy said, her cheeks flushed.Alicia nodded as she packed the file she was reviewing and said, "If you love him, follow your heart."Daisy frowned, not understanding why Alicia was advising her to follow her heart.Remembering how Damian had looked
Alicia's heart beat increased. Why was Damian here in the hospital? Did he want to kidnap her? She thought, but she immediately looked away from him as she did not want to meet his gaze.When Daisy saw Damian looking at her and Alicia, Daisy blushed embarrassedly as she did not know that Damian was interested in Alicia. Though, Daisy knew that her brother had told her to stay away from Damian and that Maria was interested in him.Alicia looked away from Damian and acted like she did not know him."Let's get back to work, Daisy," Alicia said, as she moved back to the nurse's desk to continue with her work.Daisy politely walked up to meet Damian to find out what he wanted and why he was at the hospital.It was past 11 am. Shouldn't he be in his company by now?"Good morning, Sir. What brings you here?" Daisy asked, as she came forward and stood in front of Damian.Damian's cold eyes followed Alicia. He watched her move back to the nurse's desk to continue with her work. She did not bot
"What?" Alicia's eyes widened in shock as she turned to look at her older brother's face and laughed out."Hahaha! Caden, you are joking, right? How can you say that I should marry Damian Tucker? What has come over you?" Alicia asked, looking at her older brother's face. Her smile disappeared, replaced by anger.Caden sighed and said, "I have thought about it, Alicia. Damian is not that bad after all. Dad is involved in fraud, and if you settle for Jonathan, that's the worst.""I do not want to hear it. Do not preach to me about Damian. I don't want him. If Dad doesn't want Jonathan, then I will move on. But clearly not to Damian."Alicia's eyes reddened with tears as he said that. She had loved Jonathan for five years, and it hurt to discover that he had cheated on her. And yet, he looked her in the eyes and said that he loved her.Must he lie to prove his love for her?Caden sighed, knowing that he could not force his sister to be with Damian."I will be out of the state for a week.
Maria stayed locked up in the underground dark room. Her anger boiled as she could not believe that Grant would order her to be locked up."How can Grant lock me here? Take the stupid food away!" Maria kicked the plate of food that Simon had brought for her.Simon liked Maria, but he knew that he could not cross boundaries with her. She was stubborn, and also, he didn’t want to offend Grant by courting his sister."Maria, you have to eat," Simon spoke to her softly, but Maria wrapped her arms around her chest and looked away from him. She turned her back on him, not wanting to meet his gaze.Simon sighed and left to report to Grant, but Grant didn’t care to free Maria.After Simon left the living room, he made his way back to the dark basement to meet Maria."Maria, you have to eat something. Grant refused to grant you freedom for tonight," Simon said as he stood in front of the barred gate separating him from Maria.Maria sighed, turned to face Simon, and asked, "Is it true that Gran
Meanwhile, Mr. Troy and Grant were discussing business in the living room. Even though he wasn’t pleased with his son for sleeping with Samantha, Mr. Troy wasn’t as angry as before, since Grant had agreed to marry Mr. Henry’s daughter.As their conversation progressed, Mr. Troy and Grant glanced upward at the stairs when they heard a woman’s soft voice resonate through the house, “Excuse me, where is the cloth that I am going to wear? Or should I wear yours?”Samantha asked, standing by the railing of the balcony as she peered down at Grant and his father in the living room.Mr. Troy hadn’t taken a proper look at Samantha’s face earlier, as she was looking disheveled when she was first brought into his house.But when he peered at her face now that she had taken her bath, Mr. Troy was stunned at how beautiful and charming Samantha looked—like a top-notch model.Her skin made his blood boil, but he immediately looked away from her chest as she tied the white towel loosely around it.“O
When Grant entered his room, he saw Samantha sleeping on the bed. She looked so beautiful with the way her blonde hair was scattered and covering her face.Grant recalled his father saying that he wanted him to marry Mr. Henry Leonardo's daughter. Grant was aware that his father and Mr. Henry were friends and Mr. Henry had helped their family a lot, even though Jonathan wasn't his friend.Grant shook his head and moved to his closet to have his bath and change clothes, avoiding looking at Samantha's face. He hadn't forgotten that passionate encounter he had with her, and his whole body still desired to have her again.When Grant entered the closet and shut the door, the sound awakened Samantha. She rose to a sitting position, wondering who was in the room.However, seeing the familiar face of the man who had slept with her earlier, she quickly greeted him as she missed home and wanted to reunite with her family."Good evening, Sir," Samantha said, her blue eyes fixed on Grant as he to
