Ida is still reeling in shock. She is lying down on her bed in her room, and it's after midnight. She is tired as hell. But still, she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind is wide awake. 'I want your body without any commitments 'His words are still ringing in her head. After his declaration, he didn't give her a chance to refuse or tell him that she was not like that. He simply announced that he was going to drop her home and she could fetch her car the next day. She followed after him like a lost puppy. When Hailey, her mentor told her that she might have an opportunity to become the president's assistant, Ida was so excited. She never once thought in her wildest dreams that she would become his one-night stand and catch his attention like this. As far as his reputation is concerned, he is not a womanizer by any means. He is said to be mysterious, ruthless, and a very cunning man. But he was completely a new person with her. Ida doesn't remember when she slept, but when her alarm clock
In the City Central Hospital, Claire is quietly sobbing. Kevin is rubbing her back, trying to calm her down. He is pretending to be caring, but he wants to be anywhere but here. He is bursting around the seams with happiness. This baby is the only thing that is tying him down with Claire. Now that it's gone, he is not forced to marry her anymore. Just like his mother advised, he is hiding his true emotions and is pretending to be a good boyfriend here. He doesn't want to risk Claire finding out about his treacherous act of killing their own baby. While Claire was descending the stairs, he pushed her from behind and immediately hid behind a huge pot. Everyone's attention was on the crying and bleeding Claire, and no one tried to find out how she fell. Even Claire was unaware that he was behind her and had been waiting for that opportunity for an hour. Just like they planned, his mother invited Claire to dinner, and while she was descending the stairs from his room, he pushed her down.
"Enough" Leo snapped.He is the kind of man who likes not to interfere with other people's lives. He enjoys watching them making a fool of themselves. He usually ignores fools like Claire. But this situation is different. Here, it's his nephew who seems to have pushed Claire, and the foolish woman is blaming Ida for that. What Kevin did was unforgivable, even though Leo is not fond of Claire. Killing an innocent baby is a crime, and Kevin is going to pay dearly. And Ida is being blamed and accused of something that she did not do is not fair either. If there was any other woman instead of Ida, he would have let this drama play out and he would have done what he had to. But this is his Ida, the woman who is slowly creeping under his skin and whom he likes. He never saw a more genuine person than her, and she is the last person who should be on the receiving end of Claire's accusations. And he is dead sure that Ida would allow Claire to cuss and vent out her anger on Ida because the for
Ida found herself sitting stiffly in a flight. She is sitting in a private chartered flight beside her handsome boss who is replying to his emails. Coincidentally, this is the first time she is traveling on a flight, and she is scared and nervous. While growing up, she never had money to spend on herself, apart from spending on bare minimal necessities. After getting a job, she was more focused on learning her work as she was just an intern then. Moreover, she doesn't have anyone to visit and all her savings are spent on Claire to help her with her business. She was never comfortable going anywhere with Kevin, even though he suggested it several times. Now when she gets the chance to fly, she is not excited at all. She is scared of heights. So she is super scared now. She is holding the armrest tightly as if it could save her life. She avoids looking outside the window. Mike was already on his way to their destination on a commercial aircraft, as he had things to handle there. She di
"President, the files you requested for" Ida placed the set of files neatly on the coffee table in front of the couch where Leo was sitting. He is wearing a black dress shirt and a red tie is loosely hanging around his neck. His hair is a sexy mess. They still have an hour to attend the meeting which is in the same hotel where they are staying. Leo picked up the top file and started reading the revised terms of the contract with Watson and Co. He is making sure that everything is as he wants it to be. Ida is wearing a peach-colored body con dress that reaches to her knees and hugs her frame like a second skin. It has a high neck with small cap sleeves. It is both professional and also suitable for the dinner party after the meeting. Her hair is hanging down her back and she is wearing light make-up. "Where is Mike?" he asked and picked up another file.Ida bit her lower lip with hesitation. Her quietness caught his attention. He raised his head and looked at her expectantly. His ga
After the meeting with the Hamilton group is canceled, Charles rushes out of the seven-star hotel as fast as he can. He ignored his assistant who was trying to follow after him and the others who were expecting an explanation from him about his weird behavior. He folded inside his car and the car zoomed out of the driveway seconds later. Charles dialed a number on his mobile and anxiously waited for the other person to answer his call."Hey Charles, how was the meeting? I thought it would go on for some time?" Richard Wilson asked from the other end. Charles and Richard are best friends from their high school days. Both the men are successful in their own fields. Richard has only one daughter and she is in love with Charles's son. "Rich, I saw a young lady today. Her eyes, and features, they look just like Sara's. Her nose looks like yours. She looks a bit like Sara and a bit like you. The strangest thing is, that she has a birthmark on her neck, just like you. The birthmark looks
In the guest house, Ida was sleeping in one of the guest rooms when she felt it. As she grew up in foster homes, she learned pretty early that she should never let her guard down, even when sleeping. It must be that reason why she felt the presence of another person in her room and the images of her foster brother touching her everywhere came back to her mind. She became restless and scared. Her sleep was disturbed and she opened her eyes, only to see a stranger standing near the foot of the bed and looking directly at her. "Ahhhhhhh" a high-pitched scream rang in the Guest house. The person ran away, and Ida was so scared that she couldn't stop screaming in fear. Her heart was pounding and she rushed out of her room, only to collide with a hard muscular body. She stumbled backward, but two strong arms caught her before she could fall. As it was dark, she couldn't see who the person was, She started thrashing, trying to break free from him. Her eyes are still hazy with sleep and her
"What the hell were you doing in her room at this hour?" Leo is choking Charles with anger.Richard is feeling guilty and worried about his best friend."Please, let him go. I will tell you everything. We never wanted to scare her like this. I just wanted to look at her once. Please, let him go" he begged Leo.Leo wanted to kill both men. But he controlled his anger and let go of Charles. It took Ida an hour to fall back asleep. The fact that she allowed him to hug her while she was lying down on the bed shows how terrified she had been. And he hates Charles and his friend for doing this. The only reason why he is ready to listen to them is because they showed themselves. "Speak. I don't have patience for nonsense. So speak wisely. If I feel like you both have bad intentions towards Ida, i will kill you" he warned them. No one knows the real Leo. He wanted to rip the Hamilton mask he was wearing and show these two people what he can do. But he pushed his anger down. Ida, she is makin
