Taking Her Home
“Relax…” He whispered as he held her leg gently. Even though she tried to pull away from him, he never let go. To Robin, this was the moment he had to take care of her. A way to pay her back for caring for him years ago. On the other hand, Cora was embarrassed, a deep redness appeared on her cheeks and neck and she felt her heart shake a bit. She didn't know if she was really embarrassed or was touched by his gentlemanly gesture. “You shouldn’t really be doing this.” She whispered. “What if someone sees us?”“Uhmm, Mason…” Robin called out, contrary to her expectations. Her head snapped to look at Mason who she never knew had been inside all along. “Get the first aid kit. Let’s stop her bleeding first.” He ordered. Now, Cora was even more embarrassed, she tried to hide her face as Mason brought the box. She expected Robin to hand over the job to his assistant but he took the kit himself and started to clean her wound. “Ohh…” Cora winced in pain, her eyes closing slightly. However
Recognition
“Can you drop me off at this intersection? I will find my way home from here...” Cora nervously sat up on the passenger seat of the car.Robin turned to look at her, noticing her odd movements, “Why do I have to stop here? We are just a few distance away from the hotel. It would be no use if I dropped you off here.”“But I want to get down!” She groaned in displeasure. Immediately, Robin hit the brakes, driving to the side with a calm expression. He didn't want to push her too hard but then he was concerned about her injury. A toe injury could get significantly worse if infected. “Tell me why and then you can get down. I won't force you to stay.” At least, he had to know what he did wrong this time. As the car came to a stop, Cora pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. How could she say he appealed to her while he drove? The strong flex of his arm muscles that strained beneath his clothes, just enough for her to see was everything.And added to that, she felt like she was commit
Tweaking Her Reasoning
Immediately, Cora grabbed the phone, staring at the pictures with wide eyes. There were ones where Robin caught her from falling on the sidewalk and even ones where he carried her to his car because of her injured toe.All in all, they looked like a couple in love, with the man doting on his woman. “Carla, I promise you. This isn't what you think.” Cora said shakily. She hoped her friend wouldn't think she had something personal to do with Robin. But Madam Kia didn't buy that. “What do you mean it isn’t what she thinks?” She barked at Cora. “You went after your friend’s ex-husband. You took her contract and now you don't want to let go.”“That’s not true!” Cora gasped. She then quickly turned back to Carla, “Believe me, please. I injured my toe…see…” She stretched her leg up. “Robin insisted on helping me and nothing else. I don't know how these pictures came about too…” She cried, desperately hoping for her friend’s trust. On the other hand, Carla still had a devastated expressi
I Will Marry Ethan
The next morning… Cora ignored every one of Robin’s messages and calls as he tried to find out the issue with her foot. She dressed up, ready to meet up with her family whom she contacted over the night. However, she had mixed feelings about her decision. Her father was immensely disappointed in her and was opposed to seeing her. But her mother was different. The only child she had was finally coming home and now, she couldn't turn her daughter away. That day, a car was sent straight to Westbourne City to take Cora back to Eastbourne where her family resided. Right now, Carla embraced Cora as she was about to leave while they promised each other to see themselves soon. As Cora got into the car, Carla immediately turned around and wiped the fake smile on her face. “Let’s hope that bitch does something right this time.”Immediately, she called her private investigator to follow Cora, after all, she needed some vivid pictures to send to Robin later on. His supposed first love would
Formal Meeting With The Davensons
Two days later…“Boss, I have bad and good news.” Mason walked into Robin’s high-end office with a stiff gaze. He had realized just how much Cora meant to his boss but he didn't know how to break the news to him. “The bad news first.” Robin dropped the pen in his hands that signed away the fate of most companies in Westbourne city and beyond. “Cora has gone back to her family in Eastbourne. Her marriage to Ethan is currently being planned.” Mason said, with a cautious gaze. Robin took a deep breath, knowing Cora did that to get rid of him. How far was she willing to go? Or how far was Carla going to keep pushing her? “The good news?” Robin raised his brow in question even though he was unsettled by the bad news, he wasn't going to dwell on negative things too much. He would only find a way around it. “Cora’s company representatives are currently on a flight to meet you. They are deeply apologetic about her actions and pledge to call her to order. Should we go on with the meeting—
Sign The Agreement
Cora took in a deep breath, hearing that. She thought this was just a marriage between both families and both had to do their own bidding. Why did she have to sign a contract binding her to Ethan? On the other hand, Jane saw her confusion and immediately chipped in, “What I mean is, once you get married to Ethan, there is no room for divorce. If you want a divorce, your family would have to give up their whole fortune.”“Do you understand?” Jane’s gaze rested on her, a probing one, that gave her pressure she didn't like. The thought of not being able to divorce Ethan didn't sit well with her. What if he turned out to be a bad husband even though her father had praised him? What if…“I will have to think about it—”“There is nothing to think about here.” Dean cut in with a smile. “Ethan is a fine young man and I am sure he will be a great husband to my daughter. Isn't that so?”“Yeah. Sure.” Ethan responded with a proud smile. His eyes shone gleefully as he stared at Cora. She was so
Not The Right Time
One more day had passed and Robin now stood before a large mirror, putting the last finishing touches on his clothes. He looked polished, clad in a dark brown suit and black leather shoes. His bedroom screamed silent luxury and opulence. He had since moved into the most luxurious residential area in Westbourne, surrounded by top officials.Tonight, they were going to decide the fate of Chairman Wells as well as Brother West, the mayor, and the attendants who were in cahoots. Chairman Wells had unexpectedly been silent as opposed to how everyone thought he would move around the board members looking for favors and mercy. The board was determined to throw him out and Robin was standing on that. Robin was ushered to his Maybach, his car for the night and he was driven straight to the Sky International Hotel where the board meeting was going to be held. As they all filed in, Robin sat right beside Chairman Black, with every other board member sitting at the table, all tense. Only Robi
The Introduction Ceremony
“Do you know what you are saying?” Robin asked, his intense and scrutinizing gaze resting on the old man. He couldn't fathom the thought of his father and stepmother laughing in his face all because of all he believed for years was a lie. However, the silence in the car was nerve-wracking as the old man had gone silent. “Answer me, old man Black!” He insisted.The old man had his dim eyes on Robin all through and then he shook his head, “You are being too emotional.”“What?” Robin frowned. Too emotional? For having to watch his mother die unjustly and him getting tortured before he finally escaped? Everything his mother worked for with his father was all being enjoyed by Jane.He didn't think the old man understood the gravity of the situation. “You don’t understand—”“I understand your pain. I have been there before. Abandoned by family and everyone else before I even rose to power. The pain forged me ahead, the need for power to get revenge on my enemies but that pain became my
The Introduction Ceremony 2
Robin froze, he wasn't expecting to see them all in this setting. He had just broken down about his family last night and here they were, walking in with smiles. He struggled to contain himself and not punch their faces. All that attention that was supposed to be on him was now on them. They just had to come in and squash his shine at the appropriate time. Typical of those who wouldn't want him to succeed. However, he quickly suppressed his raging emotions as he recalled what old man Black had said to him. If he didn't learn to control his pain, he might fall off the cliff. Across the room, he stared at old man Black with a meaningful expression before walking to meet him. “Did you know they were coming?” Robin asked seriously as he stood beside the old man. They both had their champagne glass in hand as they stared at the entrance where the Davenson family was being crowded around. However, his eyes were now solely on Cora. “No, I didn't.” Blackman shook his head. “I will find
The Bastard Son
“So, they are here because of Cora.” Robin thought in his mind but by the time he tried to look over her, she was nowhere to be found. She had just been all smiles with them, but where did she go?“Your daughter-in-law? I don’t see anyone like that here, except you three.” Robin responded calmly before James could. Instead of the prime minister meddling, he would rather settle his own problems.“Cora?” Jane turned around to check for her and indeed, she wasn't there. She turned to Ethan, “Where is your wife?”“I don’t know…” Ethan stuttered, clearly embarrassed by the way his mother yelled at him. “Maybe she was discreetly taken away by Robin. After all, he will do everything not to let everyone know the truth of what he is doing.”“I will go look for her.” “Right.” Jane turned to Robin, her eyes flashing with venom before she quickly expressed weakness. “Where have you taken her? We came here to advocate for her against your oppressive laws and now, you want to take her away!” She
