Her actions took Zayn by surprise. He picked her off her feet and allowed her legs to wrap around his waist. While kissing, they headed to the bedroom.
Two of them fell onto the bed, their eyes burning with affection, and the temperature in the room seemed to have risen. Carla was so into it that Zayn could not stop…
After the passionate night, Carla finally drifted to sleep at dawn.
Unable to resist the temptation, Zayn leaned in to kiss the woman's eyes and cheek before continuing to stare at her sleeping face.
Tonight, he made Benard prepare the evidence for Shelley's misdeeds. He planned to stand up to Jombo and the Bendays to demand the marriage contract to be called off.
Unexpectedly, before he submitted the evidence, Jombo got a heart attack and fainted.
Everyone got a shock, and Zayn immediately sent Jombo to the hospital. After a few hours, the older man's condition finally stabilized at two in the morning. As he was afraid that Carla was waiting up for him, he rushed home.
Ring!
His phone vibrated, and Zayn quickly answered it. He whispered, "Hello?"
"Mr. Giblo is awake, " Benard said. "Please hurry over. The doctor wants to see you."
"I'll be there in a jiffy." Zayn hung up and carefully withdrew his arm from under Carla. Lowering his head, he kissed the sleeping figure then got up to change.
Before he left, he wrote a note and placed it under the lamp by the bed.
His chauffeur was already waiting downstairs. As soon as he got into the car, he received a call from Brandy. "Ms. Giblo has disembarked from the plane. She is heading to the hospital now."
"Okay, " Zayn acknowledged. "I want you to get some people to protect Carla in secret."
"I understand."
After the call, Zayn's phone rang again. This time, it was Jamal. "I heard Mr. Giblo is sick. Is that true?"
"Where did you hear it?" Zayn furrowed his eyebrows.
"It was insider news. Don't ask me about the details." The man on the other end softly continued, "This is big news. Although you are the only grandson, you are not married and have no successors. I'm worried that the other branches of Giblo Group would question your inheritance rights. When the internal fight starts, it will spell trouble for you."
"I know, " Zayn simply replied.
"You are still young and haven't been through any family fights…" Concerned, Jamal expressed, "In the face of big advantages and interests like this, even people who are related by blood would kill each other. It will reveal the evil side of humans."
Hearing that, Zayn grew solemn.
Throughout his life, he was always the strongest. He was a child prodigy, and by sixteen, he took over the company and started managing the Divine Corporation. No matter what difficulties he met, he would often outmatch his competitors. Even when forced into a corner, he was never scared.
However, it would be a challenge to compete against his blood relatives for the family assets.
He grew up without his parents, so his grandpa educated him. On the other hand, his aunt, Solara, played the role of his mother. She took good care of him, and he was very close to her…
Unfortunately, everything changed somehow.
Perhaps, it was because he grew up and became more independent. Soon, they started to have conflicts of interest.
Therefore, Jombo divided them into different industries and made them promise not to offend each other.
For ten years, everything was peaceful.
It was not until Boris pretended to be him. He angered Zayn by almost raping Carla, which resulted in their first dispute.
"Take good care of the situation. I shall not bother you anymore, " Jamal advised and hung up.
Still holding onto his phone, Zayn looked crestfallen.
He managed to resolve the previous conflict perfectly, but the war would start again.
Although he did not wish to take this step, he could not tolerate it if anyone wanted to challenge his authority.
