Broad shoulders, sharp jaws, straight pointed nose, a freaky amazing perfectly gelled hair, a skin-deep beautiful yet dangerous face, and an ugliness that hits straight to the bone. It's him in all his arrogance. Nature just shouldn't have given anything to be so dazzled about on him.
Destiny would love to turn around and leave, thinking that she came to the wrong place but Linda has mentioned Arabella and pointed to this table specifically.
If anyone is mistaking here, then it's him or he just purposely hijacked the table. He likes to trouble her that much.
Wilhelm must've felt her presence because he raised his gaze from his phone.
Destiny watched him blink. As if he wasn't believing that she's the one. He swept his eyes from Destiny's face to her body. He stopped at her lower part, the curve from where her hips are formed. He lingered too long.
"Excuse me. I think you missed your way." Destiny said, suddenly feeling conscious of th
Destiny spun graciously to face him. "Who did you say you are waiting for again?""Someone worth spending my time on.""Well," Destiny stretched her hand towards him. He got the hint and stood on his feet."Wilhelm Grey.""Destiny Blackmore. Am I worth your time?"" Of course, Pleasure meeting you. Have a seat." He gestured to the seat in front of him.Destiny sat. Okay. So it's official. She's doing this with him.He raised his gaze towards a waiter. He nodded and after a minute, he was by the table with water and a bottle of champagne."Which one do you think we start with, Destiny?"She couldn't help noticing how nice it feels when he mentions her name instead of the 'Tiny' he normally says. She hoped that this little pretense would go on well without anyone having to rip each other's throat out."I’m okay with just water." Picking the bottled water, she poured some for herself. The last thing
“Well, It was mostly the nice things about you. For someone who wanted to get her brother to woo her friend, only that can be expected right?"Destiny's face heated in mortification. Oh so he knew. Now she's sure that Arabella deserves her strangle."And?""She also told me how super feisty you can be, stubborn and a slice of arrogance.""Is that all?"He nodded, clearing his plate to the side and raising a glass of water to his lips."I don't believe you."He went in thought for a while as if trying to remember the bits. "She told me something about your grandfather being the only closest relative. Does that even count? There's something else she told me though. He smirked mischievously."What is it?" Destiny's heart started beating. She prayed it wasn't anything embarrassing about her.But will Arabella do that?"That you married a virgin and if I had been fast enough, then I wou
Richard didn't look sad or heartbroken. If anything, he looked pissed. All that could be seen in his eyes was sheer hate. Maybe his heartbreak revoked that.His nostrils flared as his jawsclenched along with his fist beside him. The rapid rise and fall of his chest made it known that he was boiling inside and still trying to keep the lid on but his steam seems to overpower the energy required to keep the lid on. The contortion of his face made him look almost beastly, unrecognizable.And what Wilhelm asked definitely was enough to set any man who still wanted his wife back ablaze with anger right?"You're a shame, Destiny. I thought you were brought up better than this." Richard expressed his disappointment."If you cheat is cool but if she does, it’s a grave sin huh?" Wilhelm asked."You stay out of this. You don't know anything.""I know you cheated on her and she dumped your ass for me, end of story. What else is
"How on earth did he get to know anyway? I thought I paid off the waiter well enough." Destiny spoke out loud to herself."Well, did they not say Wilhelm is cunning? He must have outwitted the guy and made him spill or gave him five times of my tip. Worse, maybe the waiter is indiscreet. He easily fell in cahoots with Wilhelm I think." She snorted. "He couldn't even keep a common secret. What a shame!""Oh, why didn't I think of this earlier? They both have a flawless similar accent." Her eyes met her face in the mirror and she groaned."That is it then. I was the freaky American trying to turn them against each other. The villain."However,The actual villain is Arabella. If she had not set her up then maybe, just maybe, she could be herself with Arabella and freely tell her she wasn't satisfied after she had said the food was enough.And of course, Richard won't appear and think that she's dating the bastard who didn't kiss h
"So why can't you take on the work?" She turned to Dennis. She was about to step out of the house."What?""Why do you have to employ someone to be the CEO of your own family property?"She sighed. "I don't want to be out of your sight.""It doesn't matter anymore since I don't want you to.""Grandpa." Her eyes welled up. Hearing him say that is like a stab in the chest."You've been educated to the highest level, you're smart and efficient. You can be the CEO instead of employing someone you don't even know.""I know..." She wanted to say she knows him and that he's Arabella's brother but she bit her lips."I know I promised not to get involved anymore but this is Wilhelm Grey we're talking about here. He has also been fighting for the number one position in the market for a long-time. It will only take him a second to pull us down to get to the top.""Mr. Grey's company is into clubs and r
"Sure. It will be my pleasure.""Just kick it off already." She rolled her eyes impatiently."Did you see that look on Richard's face?" He asked thoughtfully."Excuse me? What look?""That look when I kissed you at the restaurant?""What?" She blushed violently. He's not going down that lane again is he?"Just answer me.""What has this got to do with my business and why the fuck the creep is here?""Just answer me." He repeated."No, I didn't. My back was to him obviously and..""And your eyes were closed when I was kissing you. Oh, what a shame! That kiss wasn't meant for you to enjoy Miss Blackmore.""Wilhelm!" She felt mocked and insulted."Oh, but you saw his face after you regained the breath I stole away from you. You were doing that with your head on my chest and I thought that was cheesy but anyway. Tell me what you saw."Destiny looked flustered. She bit
"Blackmore corp owns 60 percent of its properties and 40 by shareholders? Wow, that's impressive." Wilhelm recounted the brief dits Destiny presented."Yes. Are you jealous?" She smiled, pride lacing her voice.Wilhelm's eyes danced. "Oh, no-no. Why should I? My business is booming every day. I'm happy.""Great!""So you mean we're going to travel next week?" He asked, rubbing his stubbles thoughtfully."Yes and we're starting from Australia.""To New York, London, Asia, Russia, and..where else?" He asked."Paris." Destiny smiled. Though it's strictly business, she's happy she'd be traveling around the world again."It's going to take a year trust me.""No. Just a few weeks." She corrected him."It means we're not going to rest then.""Of course everyone will have a night's sleep.""I mean a little exploring. You get what I mean?""If that was the reason why w
As if her encounter with Richard wasn't enough, Dennis confronted her at dinner about it."Are you dating that Wilhelm guy, Destiny?"Destiny paused working her cutleries and stared at her grandpa. Without a word, she went back to eating."Is that why you broke up with Richard and fired him?" Dennis went on.Destiny dropped her cutleries. " You eavesdropped on our conversation earlier didn't you?""I don't know about anything you two discussed." He avoided eye contact."You've been talking to him then.""You chose not to talk to him again. I didn't pledge that oath now did I?.""You sure didn't but soon he's going to manipulate you to gang up on me.""I was never on your side.""Yes. Correct." Destiny bit her bottom lip harshly as she nodded."The young man is pleading—""I don't want to hear it." She cut him off sternly."Right." Dumbfounded, he chuckled silently. "What do
