Heart Hunting

Kenny seemed to take note that her mind was drifting, he let go of her lips and muttered a demand. "Focus."

She reflected, wrapped her arms around his neck, wet his lips with her kiss. Kenny cradled her at the waist and held the back of her head with his hand. Poppy felt secure in those strong arms of Kenny's. Kenny soon took dominance, their tongues tangling fiercely. Their passion was so fervent that it seemed to set the air around them afire, sparks crackling. Slowing, Kenny moved his lips away from Poppy's and all the way down to her lady garden. Right at that moment, he pressed her body on the bed. For long had he been waiting for this moment, and now he finally seized it.

Lying beside Poppy after they were done, Kenny felt fulfilled and a little surprised.

Poppy was still a virgin before he took her, he would've never believed that.

This is the best moment of my life, Kenny thought as he stared at the girl lying asleep beside him. He wished he could just be with her forever.

Everything was put back on track then, Poppy resumed the work.

A few days later, Poppy had an unwelcome guest, Bryant Green.

Poppy ignored him though she had let him in. Bryant was embarrassed.

"Poppy," finally, he started, "That thing I talked to you about..."

"I gave you my terms. I'll hold my promise, you'll have nothing from me without divorcing." She said expressionlessly.

Bryant left without uttering another sound.

He went back to the company and made an outrageous decision after a review of account books of the company.

I'm going to sink or swim. He decided. He's going to take all the money and flee out of the border with Susan. And he would be free of the debts by then.

Susan agreed when he told her about his plan, but she called Poppy immediately when she's sure that Bryant was out of earshot.

Poppy sneered at the news and told Susan to do whatever Bryant asked.

He's stepping into her trap now.

Bryant trusted Susan blindly and transferred all the money to her account.

Then under Poppy's arrangement, Susan flew out of the city and was off Bryant's radar. His embezzlement burdened him with a huge debt and all the shareholders were trying to find out where he was. Desperate, he resorted to Poppy at the end.

Poppy was surprised to see his face. "You're still alive, I thought the creditors have killed you."

"What do you mean?"

"You got a mistress call Susan, right? You know what, she's my man." Poppy smiled delightedly. "What? She..."

"No worries. She's somewhere in a foreign country enjoying her life with your ten billion. "Poppy Green, you..." struck, Bryant could not accept the truth and then passed out.

Poppy demanded servants to throw him out.

Eventually, she avenged her mom. You could rest in peace now, mom, she prayed.

The Sanches should be scratching the scalp off their heads now that Bryant had gutted the Green Company.

And Poppy meant to pile on their gloom. With the assistance of Kenny's resources, she was able to burn the Sanches' glory to ashes.

Now, people spat on Hilda's and her mother's names.

Poppy was satisfied with the outcome. Year after year, she finally got to see justice be brought to these evils.

"Babe, shouldn't you be thinking about us now that you have finished your mission?"Kenny asked, smiling. "Us?" Poppy was confused."

"Seems liket. Let me remind you,

"You wish!" Poppy cut him off.

But he did remind her.

It was time to think about their future now.

"You just said marriage?" Poppy asked, abruptly.

"Yeah, yeah, I did." Kenny replied hurriedly.

"You expect marry me without proposing?" Poppy said smiling.

Kenny reflected instantly and made calls to have men preparing his proposal to Poppy.

Poppy was intrigued, what would he do to propose?

Morning the next day, she was greeted with queer eyes when she came to her office.

When she understood what those eyes were telling, she was embarrassed and angry at the same time.

Kenny had put his proposal on the covers of all the major press. People could see the proposal everywhere, whether on the Internet or printed papers.

Kenny showed up when she was planning to ask him for an explanation.

He made a flourish for his entrance.

Handsomely dressed, he treaded down from a helicopter with a cluster of roses in his hand.

On one knee, he knelt down holding the flower and a ring in the rain of petals. Affectionately, he said, "Poppy, I love you, would you marry me?" The anger was nowhere to be found when she looked at the pretty face of his.

Damn him!

She took the flower, and nodded her head.

Hurriedly, Kenny put the ring on her finger. Then he got to his feet and whispered to her ears. "How'd like this proposal? It's cool,

Giggling, Poppy pressed the roses on his head.

Swit?"

She would've never thought that her fate would be tethered with Kenny's.

But now that it was, they would never part whatever might happen in the future.000
