The fury in his eyes, however, promised a private storm later.“Imani,” he said, his voice cutting through the music, deceptively calm. “I see you’ve found a… guest. Come. It’s time you properly met your future family.”As they approached, He gestured to the Greenbergs. Clint’s expression was one of thinly veiled contempt, but Ethan’s was more intriguing. He looked not angry, but… amused, a faint, cynical smile playing on his lips as his gaze flickered between Imani and Grady with clinical interest.Grady didn’t wait for her to move. He led her forward, his steps confident, as if he were the host. They stopped before the three men.Clint Greenberg nodded, curt.Ethan’s lips curvedin interest."Definitely have his attention now" imani thought as flicked her hair ." Clint, Ethan,” Richard began, the strain evident in his cordial tone. “This is my daughter, Imani.”“We can see that,” C
“Imani!”Her father’s voice cracked across the terrace like a whip. She froze, her lips still tingling from the kiss that stole her breath. It was soft, slow, and devastating in a way she had not anticipated. Grady’s hand slipped from her waist, but the warmth of his touch lingered like a brand but his eyes were dark and unreadable.Richard Kane stood at the threshold, his face thundercloud of fury.“What in God’s name are you doing?” His voice thundered.Imani didn't Flinch , instead she rolled her eyes, a smirk of amusement gracing her features.“What does it look like I’m doing, Father ?” She countered, meeting his gaze in open defiance, her tone sweet and sharp.“Inside. Now !" He Commanded “Why?” she challenged, standing taller. “So you can parade me around like an obedient doll?..Pretend I’m thrilled about being sold off?” His hand twitched ready to strike.“Enough! You will go in there and perform your duty… or so help me!” He strode forward, his hand raised, but halted
She gasped, her heart thundering. It was a formality, so why was her skin still tingling? She quickly withdrew her hand, clearing her throat before taking a final sip of her drink."I think you should stop drinking," he said, his voice serious yet sending warm volts of electricity through her. She was flushed; he was devastating. But she doubted he felt the same dizzying attraction. He seemed so utterly in control.He looked perfect, and for the first time, she wanted to stop fighting this feeling. Maybe having someone like him by her side would make her father think twice.She shook her head to clear the thought. But here he stood, a walking temptation. It was best to go back inside and face her fiancé."You looked lost in thought when I saw you." He moved closer, his cologne—a mix of fresh air, sandalwood, and peach—weaving a calming spell around her. The genuine concern in his demeanor made her want to confess everything. But he was a stranger, yet she couldn't deny the stra
“Where have you been, Imani? You’ve caused enough embarrassment already.” Her father’s voice cut through the grand foyer the moment she stepped inside the mansion. She could feel the anger radiating from him. Oh, how he hated to be defied. “Father,” she greeted, her voice steady but cold. “I heard you on the phone. I needed time to think.” “About what?” he snapped. “The company? Or your mother’s foolish ideals?” “About lies. About everything you've been doing without my consent. But do not think me a fool, Father. Mother's ideas were never foolish. It's your greed that can't wait to sell your own child!” she shot back. He slammed his glass on the table and leaned forward. “You’ll marry Ethan Greenberg, and that’s final.” “And if I don’t?” “Then you lose everything! The company, your inheritance, your mother’s estate. You’ll walk out of this house with nothing.” She stood perfectly still, her gaze cold and unyielding as it locked with his.
