It was then Amelia recognized Kevin. She walked over to him and threw her arms around him. Back then, Kevin was also cold and indifferent but she had a way of poking him."It's you, Kevin! Do you remember me?" she withdrew from the hug. "It's Amelia! Ian's girlfriend! I am back from my study abroad!"After seeing Karen's angry look, he pushed Amelia off him."This is a conference room, Amy," he said as he got up on his feet "Wait for us in my office.""No!" she disagreed and took the empty chair beside Ian "I will wait here."She wasn't about to leave Ian with that woman who had her eyes on her all this while."Then you must not cause any disturbance!" Kevin said "If you do, I'll have to throw you out!""Oh, Kevin.. you're still indifferent after all these years! But I promise not to cause any commotion."After she said this, Kevin settled down and the presentation began. Karen took the front of the room and with the aid of the projector which Sam controlled from her chair, she was abl

Kevin and Karen walked past the garage and began their walk.* * *Ian shut his office door with a thud as he let go off Amelia's wrist.

"Kord!" Mrs Kord sprang up to her feet, red with rage "Why do you always create rifts?!"Mr Kord stared at her and said calmly, "Don't interrupt me."He turned to both his sons, "The first of you to give me a son will have a greater share in my will.""You're not sick! You're healthy and strong, why are you suddenly talking of death? Why do you want to create a will now?!" Mrs Kord whined but Mr Kord was not in the mood to argue.Having said his piece, he rose up on his feet and said before leaving, "Enjoy your dinner."Marie was not satisfied. She left the dinner table and followed Mr Kord up the stairs. At her departure, the dinner table suddenly turned quiet and no one was eating anymore.Karen would have given anything in the world to protect Kevin from his father's cruel ways however, this is impossible.She didn't think Kevin would want to have a baby with her.

I don't think Elliot kidnapped her. The guards already showed us the footage. Since you walked into the mansion with Karen, no one has left the house.""The guards have searched everywhere for her, mom! She's not in the house!"Mrs Kord turned to the guards standing behind her, "Did you check the bathrooms??"They paused as if uncertain.Kevin snapped his head towards their direction. As if understanding their silence, he did not wait for their reply and immediately took to the stairs.Mrs Kord yelled after him, "Slow down, you'll miss your step!"However, Kevin was already out of sight. Selene thought aloud,"Since the footage showed she didn't leave the house then she must be in the bath and Kevin," she paused and continued "And Kevin just went up there."Her eyes widened realizing that he might
A Paradise Called Us 72- That familiar voice
Sam did not feel okay. She was far from fine and couldn't stop thinking of Ian and that woman. Since she called herself his girlfriend and he did not object, he played her for a fool. If he had a girlfriend studying abroad why did he get into a relationship with her?! Sam blamed herself, she fell easily for his charms! Ignoring her mother's calls, she stepped out of the house so late at night and strolled through the snowing streets of Willow-ridge. It was still lively with people enjoying the snow and others going home from work. Sam did not have an idea where she was heading. She just walked down the lane and admired a young couple watching their kids play in the snow. She stopped under a tree for a moment and smiled at the family while thinking about her own ruined life. Her father was nowhere to be found. Her mother had raised her all on her own. It was the reason Sam found it hard to love men. Since she came of age, she saw them as hypocrite, liars and didn't regard them as h
A Paradise Called Us 73- This is wrong
Sam refused to go with the bearded man. Since she was drunk, her rejection was quick and sharp angering the man and hurting his pride. He tried to pick her up and force her into his car but Sam was fighting back.When she took a blow to the belly, all her strength was sapped out of her. The man picked her up and placed her on his shoulder but was stopped by a voice Sam thought was familiar."Let her go," Ian ordered firmly.The man turned to him and frowned, "Who do you think you are? I found her first, go get yours." Before Ian could reply, the man turned and began to walk away.Suddenly, a hand grabbed him and a punch landed on his face. Ian caught hold of Sam before she hit the ground and hurried out of the bar to his car where he dumped a drunk Sam and started the car.He hit the accelerator when the doors of the bar flew open and the men piled out seeking to beat him up however he fled.Out of danger zone, he stared at Sam who was murmuring something under her breath."What do yo
A Paradise Called Us 74- What's the plan?
The next morning, Karen woke up to an empty space beside her. After having her bath, she walked downstairs for breakfast. It was still too early and she wondered why Kevin wasn't home.After breakfast, Mrs Kord called for her and she walked into the woman's room."Sit, Karen." she patted the bedside and Karen obeyed. Considering her puffed eyes, it seemed that she cried all night. What could be the reason?"What's wrong, mother? Are you sick?""It's just a small fever," Marie dismissed it and then looked up at Karen. "You must wonder why no one is home except for the women, of course."Karen nodded."Well, there was an urgent meeting concerning the finances of the company. The previous manager just catered away some of the profit without any trace."Karen nodded and said a simple, "Oh,"Marie took Karen's soft hand in hers and said, "We barely know each other but you have done so much for me and my son. Even for my entire family. If you had not agreed to marry him, I don't know where
A Paradise Called Us 75-Asking for a fight
Meanwhile, Amelia and Mrs Smith had gotten first hand news on the manager that embezzled money from Kord industries. "That should have been us, mother!" shrieked Amelia as she applied lip gloss on her lips "He took millions! I doubt he will ever be caught." "What's more important is that the position for manager is vacant." said her mother "You have to clinch that position before it will be given to someone else." Amelia rolled her eyes, "Ian is really being a pain in the neck, mother. I have no idea what's wrong with him. He wouldn't give me a job there because of a woman we bumped into when we met at the cafe." "A woman?" Mrs Smith repeated "Who is she to him?" Amelia shrugged, "I really don't know." "Listen baby," Mrs Smith held her daughter, "You can't let any woman push you aside. No matter who she is, you must exert your hold on Ian! You need him!" Amelia sighed, "I don't know what to do, mom! He doesn't seem to interested in me anymore." "Don't give up just yet," she he
