NARRATOR Rosemary couldn't hide her hatred. She sprang up and went inside to look for Noah. After searching for 5 minutes, she saw Noah chatting with a guest. She rushed to his side and whispered some words into his ears. With a bright side, Noah politely excused himself and they went to one of the rooms. "I saw that stupid Lucille now and she is with a man who is referring to you as his nephew," She didn't let them walk in before letting out. Noah heaved. He just finished solving a problem with his mother and now, it was Rosemary. "Yeah! That's Ramsey Rowe, my uncle. Apparently, they both claimed they were married to each other," The information was too much for Rosemary to assimilate at once. First, the man wasn't just Noah's uncle but the Zillionaire Ramsey Rowe. Secondly, the girl she hated and snatched her boyfriend from was married to him. She went numb as she felt like a gallon of water was poured on her body. This was more than a slap. Snatching Noah from Lucil
LUCILLEUnexpectedly, the Germans approached with a new venture proposal. They revealed their intent to establish a fashion design company in this region but were hesitant to entrust it to just anyone. After being impressed by my previous interactions with them, they have decided to entrust me with the role of CEO. In exchange, they require only a 70% share in the profit.I couldn't believe my ears and asked them to repeat themselves. The same offer was reiterated, leaving me in disbelief. I even had to pinch myself to make sure it wasn't a dream. The stinging sensation confirmed its reality.In shock, my eyes widened.What just happened?I turned to Ramsey and relayed the proposal from the Germans.With excitement, he encouraged me to proceed.We discussed the company's location and other details. They promised to bring the contract the next day and left.If this was what people meant by "divine favor," then I couldn't deny it. It truly was God's favor. His favor had found me.The pa
I must commend Rosemary for her unwavering determination. Despite my presence, she remained unshaken and tried her best to turn Ray against me.Her boyfriend Noah also played a part. "I must warn you, you are making a grave mistake by trusting Lucille's words. We know her like the back of our hands. She is deceitful and eloquent. She has a way of hypnotizing people with her smooth talk," their actions made me feel sick. But I knew they wouldn't give up easily. I wondered what they were feeling as they did all of this.Ray, the designer, became visibly flustered after hearing their words. It was natural for her to be wary of getting scammed. After all, she barely knew me. We had only spoken on the phone for the first time yesterday, after discussing my plans for the fashion industry. But she had shown eagerness to partner up and dominate the world of clothing design.With a mix of complex emotions, she looked at me, seeking a defensive explanation. If they were spreading false rumor
NARRATOR Meanwhile, Rosemary's belly surged with different inexplicable emotions as she stormed into her house. The scene at the mall couldn't stop replaying itself in her head. Even if she wanted to be embarrassed by anyone, it shouldn't be Lucille. The fact that she had nothing to attack Lucille back made her anger boost. "How did that happen? Did Ramsey give her that huge amount of money?"As Lucille said, she had underrated her, but who would think Ramsey was already stupidly in love with her to give her that amount of money? "No! This isn't supposed to happen. Ramsey is not supposed to fall into the hands of that wretched girl, Lucille. I must do something," She thought, picking up her phone and dialing a number. Also, in Noah's house. "What!" Lily sprang up. Her face tightened as if she had just seen a ghost. "Ramsey really gave her that outrageous amount of money...? Even this family's net worth is not up to that and an obnoxious girl like her already ha
NARRATORJackie excitedly hopped out of the store with her eyes fixed on the makeup kit she got.Getting to where she left Lucille, she didn't meet her but the goods they got were scattered on the floor.At that moment, her heart gripped in fear but a part of her was telling her the probability of Lucille visiting the restroom. She followed her heart and went to check the restrooms one after another, but there was no sight of Lucille.Her body quivered. She could hear the thumping of her heart as different unspeakable thoughts emerged in her head.She brought out her phone and put a call through to her. It rang but there was no pick. At that point, she knew something was not right. "Lucille! Lucille, please be fine," Jackie muttered repeatedly as she checked her phone for Ramsey's contact. Brimming tears lingered in her eyes as she glanced at her phone unblinkingly.She couldn't find his contact on her phone. "Fuck! I don't have his contact," Without wasting another second of her
LUCILLE I was astounded beyond words when I saw Ramsey running toward me. Darkness shrouded his eyes and a terrific aura radiated from him as he moved closer.As soon as he got to where I was standing, without letting me talk, he pulled me into a hug. My lips moved but nothing came out. After 2 minutes, which seemed like a long time, he broke the hug and inspected my body one after the other. "Are you hurt anywhere? Where did those scumbags touch you? Did they raise their voices on you?" He inquired restlessly, raising my hands up and almost turning me around. There were evident signs of worries on his face and they almost made wrinkles appear on it. I was puzzled. Why do I feel like this man cares so much? Still, I didn't want to feed myself with false and crazy assumptions, so I shrugged the thoughts off. The cold-hearted man holding me didn't appear like he could care about anyone except his business. "Where are they? They are going to regret ever touching what belongs
Note: Henceforth, I will be using the 3rd Person POV unless I want to show a particular character thought. I am sorry if I have been confusing you. Ramsey restarted the engine and drove off like a madman. He was extremely exasperated and his eyes grew darker. How dare Lucille! What does she think? Did she think she was sort of special because he opted to help her once?He hissed and cursed under his breath numerous times before he finally got to his company. Jackie and Francis were waiting at the entrance and so they almost pushed him down anxiously when they saw him descending from his car. The terrifying aura exuding from Ramsey pushed Francis back. Tightening his face, he glanced at his boss closely and wondered what could be the reason for his mood swings. He knew better than anyone not to ask him questions at that moment so he left Jackie to it. After all, she was his wife's sister and he wouldn't dare to transfer his aggression to her. "President Ramsey! Have you found h
After Lucille left Rosemary's apartment, she went to meet Jackie. Jackie pulled her into a tight hug when she saw her. She pursed her lips and glanced at her with misty eyes. "I thought I wouldn't see you again," Jackie mumbled in a shaky voice. Lucille was her only family and she wasn't ready to live in that dreary dream of losing your one and only family. "I'm fine now. Nothing happened," Lucille asserted, chuckling at her sister's over dramatic behavior. Jackie grumbled and hit her shoulders twice, "Stupid! Why did you let them take you away?"Lucille stepped back, dodging the next smack and rubbing her stinging shoulder. With a squinty face, she said, "Okay! Okay!! I will ask them to let me inform you any time they tried to kidnap me again," Jackie removed one of her shoes and threw it at her. "Idiot! How can you say that?" She was frustrated and petrified and yet, Lucille still had the time to joke with it. Again, Lucille dodged and chuckled, "You asked why I let th
