~~~~
Probably pissed because of my indifferent attitude, Shantal decided to take her leave. She walked out without bidding me a proper farewell. Yet still, as a considerate aunt as I am, I still escorted her outside. I tried to follow Shantal outside as soon as I could but the moment that I was able to take a step out from office, all that was left for me to do was to take one final glimpse at the other party's departing figure. It did not take that long before the elevator door shut completely taking my nience away from my sight. But truth be told, I only followed her all the way to the exit to make sure that she would longer be loitering around my office once I make a call to someone. I waited for a few more seconds and once the indicator light of the floor level where the elevator was currently i

JODI's P o V~~~~I did some intensive background research and this time, I made it to myself to hire a professional detective who would look over and investigate what kind of life my mom used to have way before she even got to marry my dad. Through this, I learned something dark and scary about her.Nowadays, my step mom was known far and wide as the incumbent CEO of Ironscapes. Mathilde Angeles, was a distinguished personality in the world of business, to say the least, which were all thanks to her closed affiliation with the biggest tycoon of all time, the Nordstorme's family. But according to the official name registry that my hired detective acquired, she was also formerly known as Agnes Scoth and was actually a criminal on Interpol's blacklist.Murder, fr
Boyfriend for Sale Can't have it my way
JODI's P o V~~~With my mind still preoccupied with my earlier thoughts, I drove my car to the office and half absentmindedly, I made my way to my mom's working place. It was clear for all eyes to see that I was too distracted because by the time I realized what I am doing, I was already halfway to the staircase. Thus I decided to just used this opportunity to clear my thoughts instead. I was planning of using stairs instead of hopping at the elevator."Hello. I just called to check how was my tip progressing on your end."I was not completely myself when I waltz inside my mom's office. But the moment I heard her voice speaking to someone over the phone, I was alarmed and almost in instant, my senses was pulled back to present. Cautiously, I approached her from beh

MATHILDE's P o V~~~~"We already got this far and now that we were so close to achieving something, you are telling me to stop?"I almost let out a scoff when I heard what Jodi wanted to say. I badly wanted to laugh at the idea that she came all the way here just to tell me that absurdity. But I figured out that doing so would not help me in any way at this situation so I ended up going against it. But did she honestly think that she could just go and dictate me what I should do and what I should not? Because as you see, I am still her mother. I might not be the one who personally shoot her out into this world with my coochie; but truthfully speaking, I actually contributed way more than just giving birth. I raised her as my own! As a
Boyfriend for Sale It runs within the family
MATHILDE's P o V~~~~"Your dad was the first born of the Nordstorme family and not Shantal's."I found the need to remind Jodi of that one irrefutable fact, lest her brain already tricked her into forgetting about it over time. To begin with, it was for that same reason why I did all I could to approach and seduce her father. To the point where I even went to the extent of getting my hands dirty by erasing the previous lady of the house out of the picture. Since my plan was to take over her spot and be the next Mrs. Norstorme.Winston was said to be the much awaited male offspring of the main Nordstorme household and was only second to his late dad to carry the family name. He was like a third generation son of some sort and so naturally he should be the true heir of all the ch

MATHILDE's P o V~~~~Christopher, on the other hand, my husband's half brother, grew up as a spoiled brat. As early as his teenage years, he was already such a headache. It could be said that he was more like the black sheep in the family. But more often than not, he would ask his older brother to either take the fall for him or clean after the mess he made. Two years after Christopher became an official Nordstorme, he went completely out of the line. But even when this favorite son of theirs almost dragged the family name into the mud of shame by getting involved with teenage pregnancy, they did not show any sign of disapproval. This showed how unfair the upper society could get. Because when Winston decided to marry me, they looked down on him for not only having a romantic relationship with his secretary but also, over the fac
Boyfriend for Sale They all did not end well
MATHILDE's P o V~~~~It was already too late when I found out that the old hag knew something. Initially, he thought that Winston was in cahoots with me that was why he never trusted him as well. It turned out that he assumed that his son did not die of natural causes and he strongly believed that someone was behind it and his bet was that it was Wilson who did it. Well sadly for him, his suspicion was all over the places. He was barking at the wrong tree because we did not have anything to do with that death. But when Christopher conveniently died just a year after her father, the wise old man was definitely convinced that something was amiss. At the same time, this incident also further cemented his initial intuition that it was all Wilson's doing since he was basically the first person who would benefit the most out from those deaths.Thus, jus
Boyfriend for Sale What is sweeter than solitude
JODI's P o V~~~~"Your dad was the first born of the Nordstorme family and not Shantal's. He was supposed to be the one to inherit everything and take over the Nordstrome Corp. Everything that Shantal has now should have been ours if only your father was man enough to fight for it! I was just simply taking back what should had belonged to our family, to begin with.I pretty much have an understanding of how messy our family history could get, mostly because mom made sure to instill that to me and was almost as if determined to include it as one of the lesson that I should master. For the most part of my life, she basically told me that we deserved more than what we have now and if not for Shantal and her family, our life would have been better. To be honest, mommy just sounded plain jealous in my ears. I have long known that my mom was som

JODI's P o V ~~~~ I could see that my mom was deeply perplexed after hearing my thought and with an upturned eyebrow, she asked me a question. "Huh? What are you saying?" She furrowed her eyebrows and deep folds of skin started to appear on her forehead as soon as she did that. Meanwhile, it took me a while before I was able to form another statement again. To be honest this was not easy for me. I found it hard to express my thoughts well because I was trying to come up with the right words to say. I knew that whatever I would say next, as long as I shared a different opinion from her, would end up hurting her one way or another. But as much as I could, I wanted my words to bring her pain in the least possible way. I inhaled deeply and exhaled loudly and when I t

When he looked at the other two guys, he saw them gesturing to their head but he did not give them much attention."Yes.Sam repeated the same thing with a voice and face devoid of emotion."Something needs fixing."Harold told Sam afterward and so Sam fought back to urge to do and eye roll before replying flatly to him."Okay."This time, Harold noticed that Rico and Michael still keep on doing the same thing so he asked them instead,"What? Is your scalp itchy.""No."The two answered in unison. Jodi on the other hand who was watching all of this farce unfold right before her eyes, could not help but let out a sigh."You sure are made for each other."She said to no one in particular and it was also as seemed she was only talking to herself."Anyway. Michael, I need you to go to Casterly."

I feel so lonely."Michael muttered to himself out of despondency and while he was in the middle of self pity.

That is how this miracle happened. That fact completely changed the way I view things. This will be yet another scoop for the reporters present. Nordstorme Corp will go from financing mergers and acquisitions to investing in futuristic industries that involved human sensibilities.

On the flip side, just like what Shantal assumed, Mr. Takashi with Mathilde's instruction called for an emergency meeting on that afternood. Which happened to coincide to the time when Shantal will hold her press conference.Moreover, since Mathilde would not be able to make it there since she was still held in prison, her secretary presided the meeting."We shall begin the emergency board meeting."Secretary Ye declared loudly and her voice reverberated in the room. Jiro was also there along with other board members."The agenda is the dismissal of Director Shantal Nordstorme and the cause is as you were all informed. An illness."She continued while everyone was silent and anxiously prayed so they could ever this meeting once and for all. On the contrary, Mr. Takashi was nodding his head on the side and though he was anticipating for this day come.Mr. Takashi nodded his head toward Secretary Ye to signal her to start it once and for

It was late in the evening when Jodi received a call out from nowhere. When she checked that registered on the caller ID, she was surprised to see Jiro's name.Truth be told, he was the least person he would expect to contact her. After all, the two of them never talked to each other for ages.Jiro used to be a good friend of hers as well. Just like how she and Shantal were cousins, Jiro and and Zorens were first cousins too so naturally all four of them get to know each other and as a child, they eventually became acquaintances in no time.Besides, since Zoren's parents were a family friend of the Nordstorme they often had an opportunity to hang around during their childhood.However, ever since the day Zoren committed suicide due to the incident regarding the Nordstorme controversy, Jiro also stopped communicating with them.So this made Jodi wonder what had come to Jiro to decide and phone her at this time of the night.But

"In other words, she wants me to become director and cover up all his shortcomings?"Mr. Takashi insinuated after his contemplation. He did not exactly declined the offer this time, unlike before. Although he also did not directly implied that he would do it.Nonetheless, Secretary Ye considered his response as a good sign. At least, the other party was no longer adamant at turning them down.So with the same insinuating manner, she answered him back."That would make it easier for you to do your duties once you become a director. All that was left for you now is to leave Ms. Shantal Nordstrome no other choice but to step down and abdicate the position of board directory to your hands.""Ousting her is not enough. He will just come back. We must make sure he loses the will to come back."Out of nowhere, Mr. Takashi declared with conviction and for a second, the secretary was taken aback by this.One moment, he almost drove her a

"You told Jodi about everything?"Mathilde asked her secretary as soon as the two of them were finally allowed to have some private conversation within the prison hall where she was currently detained. Panic was noticeably present on the other party's face when she raised her question. Meanwhile, the secretary remained silence yet that was all enough for Mathilde to guess her response and not long after that, her shoulders dropped on the side when the realization hit her."I guess she was bound to find out about it sooner or later."She muttered under her breath with despondent undertone.An exasperated sigh escaped Mathilde's lips afterward. But then, she suddenly tenses up when she recalled about something else.Leaning towards the other party all the while grabbing a hold to the iron bars, Mathilde looked around her warily first to make sure that no ears were on them.Only when she confirmed for the umpteenth time that no one was listenin

Thank you for the information."I replied and not long after that, she hung up on her because I reckoned that it would be best if I could relay this news to the other search parties. In this way they would also know where to start looking. Of course, the first one that I tried to call was my lady boss. However, to my dismay, I was only redirected to the voice call feature of the phone.'The number you have dialed is busy at the moment. Please try your call later or leave a message aft
