Clarence Hamilton is Leo's sister-in-law and Kevin's mother. She is almost eighteen years older than Leo. But still, she is scared of Leo and would think twice before opening her mouth in front of him. When her husband was alive, he tried but failed to handle the Hamilton fortune and businesses, especially after the senior Hamilton perished. But when Leo took charge, it became a one-man show. It was always Leo who decided and finalized everything. The rest would blindly follow him. Leo's brother is the same too, much to the displeasure of Clarence. Even though she married into a rich and reputed family, neither her husband nor her, they never held any power. All they had was the Hamilton name and money for their monthly expenses. She expected that her son Kevin would change that and he would take charge of the Hamilton family businesses. But that never happened. He failed time and again and almost ruined ten million dollars in various projects that he approved and invested in. He prov
"I am sorry" she apologised, feeling bad about the mess she created.He leaned back in his chair and stapled his fingers in front of his broad muscular chest while eying her intently. "Sorry? For what?" he inquired.Ida is looking down at her palms with a guilt-stricken face."This is all because of me. Everyone is affected because of that. I shouldn't have offended him. Now everyone is trying to salvage this situation. The sales department already estimated half a million losses for the garments we recalled and the deliveries that were delayed" she expressed with a frown. In a way, she is the one who stirred the pot of worms."I see, then how are you planning to save this situation?" he asked with a blank face while his intense gaze trained on her. She lifted her gaze to meet his. A frown of concern is etched on her face. She is just one of the employees and she cannot do anything but work and give her best to help them. "I can do anything I can to help the company" she confessed
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
