“I’m going back to Fashion Designing!”
Lana looked at her father, her face lit with pleasure as she thought about what she had post salil.
It was time to rediscover herselt and, per the old tana back.
she would go back to fashion designing, and make a name for herselt just like her mother had done.
“nut Lana, you only just got back! Don’t you think you need to rest a while? Samuel said, worried that she would stresshemelt.
Lana shook her head as she stood up, canying the box carefully, and placed it back in the walk–in closet,
“I’ve made up my mind, Father she replied, as she walked back to his “its time to go back to my former self, to how I was before 1…”
She hesitated, reluctant to say anything but the next words her father said startled her
“Before you met the Romeros. Her father completed for her gamly, and Lana’s eyes went wide with surprise.
In the next instant, however, she sighed weanly as she walked to sit back to the vanity table.
“How did you know about the Romeros, Dad?” she asked, looking away from him “t told you not to keep tabs on use.”
“I didin’t.” Samuel shrugged, his hands in his pockets as he stood in the middle of her room like a giant “I was just really curious about who had the audacity en birt my daughter.”
“They did not know I was your daughter Lana pointed out, still miffed that her father had gone behind her to investigate her past.
“obviously, t then they would have known they were crossing me,” Samuel retorted, his fists clenching in his pockets, as he recalled what Paul had told him
Fand had camned out the instructions to investigate how and where Lana spent the last three years.
He traced her steps back to Oakcrest city, and the Romero Empire. Gathering enough information about the family as well as Lara’s death, and how she had been maltreated while married to Damien, he provided all these information to Samuel, who was furious.
Since the Femandez Empire was in a different city, Emerald City, the Romeros did not come across them easily, but the Femandez Empire was still known worldwide…
Truly, if the Homecon had known Lara was a Fernandez, they would have treated her differently.
He had also investigated the Romero Empire, and found out they were of a good stock. They engaged in nothing dubious and were quite prosperous,
If they had actually treated his daughter well, Samuel would have considered the Romeros
as good inlaws, but now they had made an enemy for life, with the Fernandez Empire.
“Lana, I can not forgive the Romeros for what they made you pass through” Samuel said darkly, his deep, booming voice echoing round the room.
*1’ll make sure they taste my wrath!”
Lari whaled on her father, her eyes wide with shock
“No, Dad. The Romeios did make my life hell…” she said through gritted teeth “But it’s my battle to light!”
Her eyes slummeted with team, and Samuel was taken aback with this fierceness in his daughter, that he never knew she had.
*y’ll fight my battles myself!” Lana continued, a bit calmer now “I low you mean well, nad, but please do not intestere!“
Samuel sighed, before giving her a slight smile that hid the worries in his eyes.
“Very well, then” he said softly, as he saw the d
determination indier eyes “I will not intentee but it thear’s anything you need, do not forget to come to your father
Lana smiled as she walked towards her father, and booked her anus with us
“Well then, let me go back to fashion designing” ale patted bås an amiably as she looked up at him “I promise to make it worthwhile.”
sammel nodded, completely enthalled by his daughter, and be felt an overwhelming rush to protect her at that moment.
He had still forgiven the Homeros, and he was definitely not going to back down and not intentere, but there was no need for Lana to know all that
He could work behind the scenes, without her bowing
Alright, you can go back to fashion designing” he said softly, as he led her towards the door “And now, let’s go down to dinner. My guest must have been waiting
“Oh, I forgot about that” La sald, as they walked out of the room towards the grand stalicase “you wanted to introduce me to him. Who Is he?
“Just a business acquaintance I made” Samuel said as they walked down the staircase with all the bearing of a king and a princess. “He has the same fire as you, and
-25 Bonus
I’m pretty sure you two will get along.”
By the time they got to the bottom of the stalecase, Lana’s curiosity was at its peak.
However, as they walked into the spacious dining room, her eyes widened in surprise and then in pleasure, as she beheld the young man who stood up and bowed at their approach.
It was Zaire Ludovic
Ε
“Chainman Fernandez, Miss Fernandez Zaire greeted formally as the doo made their way to the dining table.
Lana sat on her father’s right hand side while Zaire sat to his left.
“You are looking very well, Miss Femander” Zaire said, with a knowing wink and smile at Lana who shook her head at me.
If Zaire was surprised that Lana was the daughter of the Femandez Empire, he did not show it.
He actually looked pretty calm.
“Are you stalking me, Zaire? How did you know to find me here? Lana said, cordially, as Samuel signaled for the dishes to be brought in, and soon the table was layered with mouthwatering dishes.
The chets opened each dish with a flourish, then stood aside as the bosses dined, while they waited for further orders.
sel looked from his daughter to the young man, whom he had invited.
“Do you two know each other?” He asked carefully and Lana nodded at him.
“He’s someone one whom I’m grateful to” she replied giving Zaice and smile “He saved my life, Dad.”
Samuel raised his eyebrows in surprise, and he looked impressed. He had invited Zaire over to the house earlier because the young man wished for the Fernandez Empire to invest in his company.
He had a good disposition, and Samuel had thought to introduce him to his daughter, but it seemed like they already knew each other, and Lana had said he was her life savior.
“Is that so?!” Samuel boomed as he laughed heartily “Well then, I guess Lowe you one, Ludovic. If you saved my daughter’s life, you’ve saved Femandez! You’re getting that investment!”
Zain bowed respectfully again, and Lana shook her head at her father, while he motioned for them to continue their dinner.
As they ate, Samuel watched the two young people surreptitiously under his Lashes. He knew his daughter had been hurt once by the man she had gotten married to. So she has to meet s someone who can heal her heart, and make her belleve in love again..
He was hoping this young man would fill in that vold, because he does not want to see his daughter sad for life.
As Zaire ate his dinner, he kept glancing at Lana. Although he had a lot of questions, he managed to keep them in because it would not be good etiquette to start asking about her life at the table.
When he had approached the chairman for that investment, Samuel had invited film over for dinner, saying something about how he’d trust a man better if he’d dined with him
ve knew that
He knew the chulman had a daughter, and far had had a vague thought that the chairman probably wanted to introduce him to his daughter, but he never the daughter would be Lana
She
he was looking better than ever, at least better looking than she had been, when he had last seen her at the Oriental Hotel. However, when be returned to the Oriental Hotel the next day, he found out that she did not check in.
This puzzled him, and he was agitated, thanding he had lost her again but now here they were.
Zante’s heart gladened within him as he thanked his stars for giving him another chance to be with this butriguing womLHI
Lana, on the other hand, ate quietly, and thought about her decision to go into fashion designing.
She was ver
was very sure she could make a name for herself in that field.
It was time for her to start up something for herself, all by herself.
she would show the Romeros that she was not a mere nobody, and if they dated to cross patlas again, she’d make them all bow before her And never…
Lana thought grimly as she ate in silence
Never would she give love a chance again.
What Goes Around..
