A gentleman with dark long hair looked a little rough but his face did justice to that. He was truly handsome with blue eyeballs and silk lashes, quite tall as we raised her heads to get a better look at his face.But matter how hard we looked we didn't seem to recognize him.Georgia pulled me behind and made her way toward him.“Who are you,” she asked.I watched from behind her as she stood firm in front of the good-looking stranger.Mr. King came running to the living room to defend the stranger. As far as I know, his only child and his cousins are not in the country currently.“Who is this stranger and why is my man protecting him,” I asked myself.Mr. King pulled this guy to the couch and gave him a plate of fruit parfait.“Mr. King” Georgia called out as she signaled with her eyes asking who the guy was.He looked at me after she signaled me and I was stunned.“Why is he staring at me, I have no idea who he was” I defended myself with my eyes when Georgia asked me with expressio

MR. KING’S POV“Yes, I called you all here today to let you know something important,” I said looking at Aurora then Mark and Georgia“But first I need to apologize for keeping things from you Mark, I am sorry,” I said with a smile.Mark is an easy person mostly to people he cares so much about. I moved toward him and have him a hug.“I know your worth buddy, you are very important to me not just as a member of the team or company but as a companion and good friend” I whispered loud enough for him to hear and everyone around.I looked at Aurora but she wasn't pleased and she still wasn't looking at me.We went for breakfast and she sat next to Georgia who was 3 seats away from me.Georgia looked at me to ask what was wrong but I didn't know what to say so I overlooked it and continued eating.“Are you still on bad terms, I heard lovers don't go to bed angry especially when they sleep on the same bed?” Jerry said, looking at Aurora and me.“I overheard the argument, I couldn't help it,

We went back to the living room only to find the guys on each other trying to catch their breaths.Mr. King explains to Jerry the reason behind his not taking Olive to the police station.Jerry was not pleased with his excuse because he knows how head over heels he was for Olive.“I know you didn't report her because you hoped she would have nothing to do with Sal’s kidnapping and her dying and I am sure you wanted to believe it but I gave that part already this time it’s my turn” He got up and stretched his hands toward King to raise him off the floor.“Maybe I did it because I wanted to accept that she had nothing to do with it but not anymore. If she touches me and I care about it again I won’t end it with her getting arrested but spending the rest of her life in jail.Jerry knows his friend that once he sets his mind to do something no one can change his mind or stop him from accomplishing his aim.He went to lengths to get Jerry out of jail when he had the chance though it wasn't

They got off the limousine and headed inside the building.Jerry was right, it was more than a family dinner.People from work and friends from afar were all at the dinner.Mr. King was a little nervous because he will be meeting his parents at this dinner for the first time in seven years and Sal's parents.Aurora went next to him and he held her hand, she was startled but he wouldn't let go and went straight to his family.“Who is she?”“Can't you see he is holding her hands?”“Wow, he didn't come to the dinner for seven years and when he finally he came with his fiancee that is romantic,” a lady saidOlive sat next to Sal’s mum and next to his parents. She wasn't expecting him to come with Aurora; she looked around as eyes were on her.People didn't know what happened seven years ago before their break up but they all know how perfect Mr. King was and would never cheat or deceive the one he loves.“Good evening Mother, father,” he said bowing to his parents.His parents got up and

Lilith's PovMark was desperate to bring out Goergia and I needed to win their trust no matter what.I was ready to do extra miles if it was going to make them change their mind about my brother and help him out.“Where exactly is she” Mr. King asked roughly as he looked at me.“In a place none of you except or imagine” I said stirring up their emotions as they all looked very eager to find out where Georgia was.“And where is that?” Mark asked as he could not wait to hear where she was and save her already.“ARGH!!!” Mark yelled out as he stared at the cheerful little phone on the table watching it with distaste.The phone kept ringing and finally sighed then picked it up.I signaled him to hold on before placing the phone on his ear.I ran through my bag as I brought out my laptop, connected it to the wifi and then Mark's phone to figure out who the caller was and where he was calling from.“We told you to ask the police officers to back off” the voice shouted from the phone as Auro
