Chapter 18Inside the banquet hall, a grand celebration was underway. The sound of clinking glass cups blended perfectly with a sweet, melodic background tune. Laughter and joy filled the room, marking the most important day for the city's most powerful man, Old Sterling. The elite of the city had gathered for this grand occasion, and who wouldn't want to attend? When it came to the Sterling family, the city knew that their parties were always lavish and never disappointed. Old Sterling had carefully designed the venue in a style incomparable in the city. The hundreds of diamond chandeliers hanging from the ceiling were a testament to the family's wealth and influence.On a luxurious dining table, a vast amount of dishes were arranged. Seated at the table were the celebrity himself, along with family members, friends, and business partners."Old Sterling, I must say, this party is truly exclusive!" remarked a man seated to the left of the table, one of his business partners."Thank yo
Chapter 19Lilly was frozen in her seat, hearing her heart's heartbeat drumming in her ears. She couldn't believe her eyes at who she was seeing. How could this be? Why is he here? Why? She screamed in her head with no words to utter. Who would have thought the man she had a one-night stand with was the son of her fiancé's grandpa? Does that mean this Nicklaus was an uncle to Michael? Lilly felt like the ground should open and swallow her now because she couldn't bear this revelation. And what if he reveals their encounter? She is doomed!"Nicklaus, how could you say such a thing? Lilly here is the fiancée of your nephew, and they are getting married soon!" Charlotte snarled. She hated the fact that Nicklaus' presence was going to change the atmosphere of the party. She didn't even know why he attended and why he decided to attend this year's party. After all, he had never attended the past years, but whatever the reason might be, she needed to secure her son's position before anythin
Chapter 20 Everyone was shocked at Nicklaus' words, including Lilly herself. What was he saying, and what did he mean when it was clear that the girl was announced to be Michael's fiancée? "Nicklaus, how many times have I told you to stop declaring what belongs to my son as yours!" Charlotte spat, having had enough of Nicklaus's displays. She knew from the start that Nicklaus's aim was to destroy Michael's reputation. Lilly, on the other hand, could feel her heart racing fast towards what would happen next, but whatever happened, she was ready to embrace it. Maybe this was an opportunity for her to be free. At least, this would save her from marrying Michael if the truth was revealed. Nicklaus laughed sarcastically. "I didn't quite hear you? What belongs to your son? Her?" He asked, raising his brow at Charlotte. "She has never belonged to your son from the very start. The only person permitted to fuck her and bear babies in her womb is me," Nicklaus declared, authoritatively, withou
It was 8:30 pm and the rain poured heavily on the dimly lit street. A black Mercedes Benz drove ominously under the dim lights and stopped in front of exquisite golden gate. The driver pressed hard on the horn and the sound resonated above the angry battering of the rain drops on the tarred street.The golden gates opened almost immediately the blaring had died down. As it opened, a beautiful display of bright light appeared at the frames and the driver swerved in smoothly, taking his time to enjoy the wonderful display since the young Miss he carried was asleep.The man expertly parked the car in front of the house and swallowed his fear at the tasks that waited him."Young miss, we're here," the driver said, alarmed to wake up the nineteen-old girl, who had a dozen off on their way."Huh?" Lilly hummed while rubbing her eyes to see where she was."We are here," the man repeated.Lilly was fully awake now and she turned to look at where they had reached. As her eyes landed on the man
The Newton foundation was the only thing her father had before his death and she would by all means protect it, even if protecting it, meant losing her innocence to a stranger. Lilly didn't care, all she cared about was the welfare of the Newton image. She wasn't doing this for herself but for her family.When her father died, Mr. Thomas, who happened to be her father's younger brother, and also her uncle, took control of the business to manage it before she became of age. At the time of her father's death, she had been too young to take over the company.Now the company was going to fall. She couldn't allow that. It was her inheritance and her responsibility to protect it. She had promised to do that and no matter how difficult the situation proved to be, she had to protect it."By doing this, the company will be saved," Lilly whispered as she fisted her hands.She took a deep breath and threw another glance into the dark room. She then turned her eyes onto the Butler who had been wa
Despite the coldness of the room due to the air conditions, the tension between the two opposite sex was hot as a blazing saddle. Lilly couldn't stop herself from moaning out loud, and neither would the strange man help without devouring her body more. His finger slid into her tight core as she screamed out loud, failing to endure the pain his finger was causing in her spot. But there's something weird about this spot. Why does it feel so tight like it was never touched before? He thought to himself and stared wildly at the screaming girl who was struggling to get free from his hands. “Are you a virgin?“ He asked coldly. Immediately, Lilly stopped screaming and swallowed back her groans. That question was forbidden to ask. She couldn't answer the question because that was never what she wanted another man to know. The only man that had the right to ask her that word was Micheal, her fiance. Not getting the answer he demanded, he asked again but this time, a bit sternly and commandi
In the huge fancy lounge, a dangerous aura could be felt in the air as a tall figure seated on one of the sofas with his legs crossed like the king of the world. His expression was as emotionless, thick, and dark as nightfall, but that couldn't deny the fact, that his appearance was beyond imagination. He was wearing a black tailored suit, which perfectly showed his faultless body shape. He was a complete definition of the Greek god, his sparkling blue eyes, perfect long nose, long eyelashes, and reddish-pink lips. A man, any woman could kill to have. Despite his irresistible and charming looks, he was a tycoon's boss. Nicklaus was looking at his phone screen, scrolling through some email messages. The room was as quiet as a desert because there was no one expecting him. “So? How were you with her?“ A man suddenly uttered behind him, breaking the impending silence in the room. A little smirk left his lips as his mind dived back to last night's scene. He can't say it was bad, but
The Evans house… A champagne popped up in the air and joyful cheers fill the room. A man in his fifties and a woman in her forties seemed to celebrate after a successful business plan. “Oh honey, I told you this would work out but you never believe me,” Yelena said as she sip gloriously from her wine glass. “I'm sorry dear, I never expected she would agree to it so quickly without proper thinking. Well, that her foolish thought does work out for us! “ Thomas replied, gratefully, filling his glass with more wine. “As I said from the start, the girl is just as foolish as her mother. They're both easy to push around like a ball.“ Yelena said irritated, as she crossed her legs like a boss in her office. “Hahaha! That's good. Now, we have both the company and the money. We're rich darling!“ Thomas exclaimed in excitement. He couldn't believe it was easy to play the most dangerous man in the city. But since the deal between them has been settled there shouldn't be any grief right?.
