Landon whistled loudly as he walked into his office much to Georgie's surprise seeing him happy for the first time.
He was surely in a good mood and when he began to tap dance,his personal assistant instantly knew something was definitely wrong with him.
‘Is he....is he happy?'.She whispered to Claire,the new receptionist who wasn't at her post.
‘Pinch me.I think he's in a trance or something,maybe someone casted some voodoo stuff on him'.Claire muttered.
‘What?... No!!... that doesn't even make—'.
‘Georgie!!'.Landon yelled and she scurried up to her feet and walked into his office half-heartedly.
Her fears relaxed the moment she saw the genuine grin on his face.It felt weird seeing him smile in a long time,the last time he did was when he would watch Alice tackle some difficult clients like he was pro
Luther paced forth and back furiously much to the detriment of Stacey who just wanted to have a good night and watch TV.He was blocking the screen.‘Come on,I don't have all night,I've got exams tomorrow'.She grunted.‘Shouldn't you be reading?'.He snapped back.‘I read all through the day,I have to finish this series or else I won't.....okay what's going on with you'.She reluctantly turned the TV off seeing the scowl on his face.He remained silent for a while and when he was sure she was listening,he relented and sat next to her.‘Is it about Alice?'.She asked.‘Yes.You know she's the first woman I've dated after you-know-who,I loved more than anything but still....'.‘You're scared she might go back to her ex.How many times do I have to tell you this Luther? She divorced h
Landon frowned deeply as he walked into his office only to see a stranger whom he has never met before,sitting on his couch and crossing her legs like she was welcome—too welcome.It took him a few seconds studying her face and that's when he realised she looked a lot like Alice—but Alice was more beautiful anyway.‘Can I help you with something? I do not tolerate visits without making an appointment first'.He cleared his throat as he dropped his briefcase on the table.Kayla smiled sheepishly as she studied his face.He was even more handsome and powerful looking upclose.Now she knows why Alice is always nervous when it comes to him, the man is a walking piece of beautiful!!.Landon's brows furrowed deeply as he waited for an explanation from the lady.He really wanted an explanation for how she looked like Alice.‘I'm Kayla.Kayla Montero, Alice's step-sister'.She finally spoke and stretched forth
‘Madam you have to be patient and understand we only want the best for him'.The nurse tried calming Alice down as she tried stopping her from going in with her father who was rolled in a stretcher.‘He...he needs me...you...you don't understand he needs me'.Alice stuttered and pleaded as she went down on her knees.There was a lot she said to him.There was a lot she needed to say to him,and every hope was lost as the possiblity of him not making it was messing around in her head.Kayla wasn't really heartbroken and rolling on the floor as her sister was.Instead,she kept her composure with Willow in her arms,although she was clearly scared.Fredrick wasn't father of the year on her part but he was still her father and if he died she wouldn't have anyone taking care of her bills,giving her connections and using the Fredrick Montero name to g
Two days later,Landon quickly rushed towards his daughter who was starting to bond with her environment and learning how to push doors even at a young age.He was preparing her bottle when he heard the bathroom door push open and his father instinct quickly rushed to grab her before she did anything fatal.It's been two days and even a call,he didn't get from Alice.He was worried beyond control and Kayla was the only one giving him information even though he still didn't trust her.She wasn't a bad person.There was just a bad aura that resonated with him and he wanted to just stay away from it as far as possible.‘Come on Willow eat,I don't have all day'.He tried feeding Willow but she just kept her mouth shut and wouldn't budge.He frowned deeply when she struggled but he still managed to get a spoonful of baby formula into
‘We should be celebrating you idiot'.Melissa chortled loudly as filled her glass with champagne.Kayla watched on with contempt as her mother kept dancing about.It wasn't funny that she lost her father and her mother was happy about it for no good reason.Melissa didn't care what her daughter thought of her, Fredrick was dead and that only meant one thing—she was going to get a share of his immense wealth.‘Don't you have any shame Mom.My father just literally died and the least you can do is show s little bit of remorse but no—you'd rather celebrate'.Kayla said as she's had enough,grabbed her bag and made for the door. ---------------------Emily quickly rushed over to where Alice was and they both locked in a warm embrace while sobbing quietly.
She shrieked at the top of her voice as she woke up and found herself naked,on her old bed,in Landon's house,for the second time.‘I suppose you don't remember anything do you?'.Landon muttered as he walked in with a tray of herbal tea in his hands.‘Wh....please don't tell me I was drunk and you took my clothes off'.She groaned as she tucked the bedcover under her arm and his brows arched.‘You were drunk and no....I didn't take your clothes off,you did that yourself when you had three more shots of whisky and impulsively ran outside’.He explained.Her expression was vague for a while until she got the full grasp of what he meant.She blinked and wanted the ground to swallow her whole, and Landon could see the sheer embarrassment on her face.‘So...so you're saying I...I ran outside naked??'.‘Ye
A WEEK LATERLuther's saturnine was clearly shown as he threw his wine glass across the wall much to the annoyance of his sister.‘A week Stacey!! A week and she hasn't even called!!'.He yelled.‘So??'.Her brows puckered.‘My girlfriend lost her Dad over a week ago and he's been buried and you're saying so??'.He felt like pinching her right in the face but he held himself.‘Alice totally understands what's going on so what's the ruckus about?.Sure she's not picking your calls,she might not be home or maybe she's busy or something'.Stacey reassured her brother and went on filing her nails when he got a text from his friend.The lockdown was finally lifted. ------------------------‘What are you
‘So I was thinking we do Christmas at Corazo this year'.Catherine muttered as Landon helped her out of the car.‘Christmas sounds like a bad—'.‘I know you're still getting used to this whole changed man stuff but spending Christmas with the family is just the right bond to seal it up'.She cut him off and he just rolled his eyes.It was the first time in a long while he decided to spend Christmas with the family.While everyone stayed with the family singing 𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑁𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡,he was hopping from one chopper to another on business purposes.This year,he wanted to lay back a little bit,with Catherine's influence of course and just enjoy enjoy the merry holiday.The first on his list was shopping for a Christmas tree.It was still early,but early Christmas shopping was the best according to Georgie and he wasn't much of a shoppe
