~~~
"Oh my sweet child, look how much you have grown into a lady? You have no idea how proud I am for being able to raise an ardent woman such as you. As expected, you never failed me. Your actions never disappoint."
I saw that Jodi was taken aback when she heard my answer. She probably thought that I would honestly consider backing down if she told me so; that was why she was surprised when my response was different from what she expected. Well, I guess she did not know me full enough yet because what she thought about me were all wrong.
But if I must admit, I was also surprised by how strong my will was; so strong I have doubt that any amount of effort or persuasion would be enough to make me change my mind. In fact, from how it seemed to me, I did not think that there w

JODI's P o V~~~~"Oh my sweet child, look how much you have grown into a lady? You have no idea how proud I am for being able to raise an ardent woman such as you. As expected, you never failed me. Your actions never disappoint."After everything I said, that was all she told me in return. I would like to take her words as an irony and decipher the meaning behind it. But the voice at the back of my head told me that it was pointless. From the current look of it, I figured that if I allowed myself to continue talking to her, then it would not take that long for me before I would die from utter disappointment. At the same time, it was at this moment as well when my brain started to go in a complete shut down as though it already lost its interest to the discourse. I just felt defeated, really.

MATHILDE's P o V~~~~"For years, you thought of her as a family of your own as well. So how can you turn your back on her so suddenly?"Before I could even stop myself from showing my real reaction, a scoff already escaped my lips. How could she be so naive???Once upon a time, I thought that when the time came and the opportunity to overtook the Nordstorme's finally showed itself to us, Jodi would be at my side to join me on my quest for power. I thought that over time, she would eventually come in terms with our unspoken plan by herself and there would be no need for me to elaborate it to her anymore. I mean, it was a no brainer that I asked her to do all the stuff that could possibly make Shantal soften to her as a preparation for this grand scheme finale. It might have taken her longer than what I initially expecte

JODI's P o V~~~"Family? Who? Shantal? Tss."My mom no longer bothered to hide her true intention. In fact, she even made it clear for all eyes to see, how she did not even have the slightest bit of care towards Shantal's well being. This, however, I think was what draw the line of what I could tolerate."Were you always supporting her and saying that you got her back with this kind of mindset?"I could not help but ask mom. But I noticed how weak my voice sounded when I raised this inquiry. To be honest, I just felt defeated. Defeated by the fact that in this story, my mom would always be the villain. But she was a villain by choice. I gave her so many chances to redeem herself, but she made me understood that we wanted different things. Our goals were two worlds apart. I wanted nothing but peace for my family and I am contented w

Meanwhile, Shantal and Alex spend the entire day together. It was as if they were trying to made up for the time that they missed out because of their misunderstanding. Time past like a blur when they were together and the next thing they knew, the sun was already setting at the western horizon. Night had fallen but in spite of the fact that it was already starting to get dark outside, Alex still had not shown any intention leave the house. It was as if he has plan at spending the night as well together with her. However, perhaps due to being tired attending to Shantal's need the whole day, the guy ended up falling asleep against his will. One second he was feeling a bit drowsy. He just closed his eyes for a second hoping to give it some time to rest since his eyelids were starting to feel somewhat heavy. But then before he knew it, oblivion already took over his consciousness. On the other hand, not long after Alex had fallen asleep, Shantal found him lying at the sofa,

Meanwhile, using the same hand that Shantal just happened to kiss and then abruptly let go, Alex tried to wipe away the remaining sleepiness off his eyes."What is the matter?"He asked her but his voice almost ended up getting swallowed by his big yawn."Err... Nothing."Shantal replied right away to brush off the conversation. Then she averted her gaze and added,"You can keep sleeping if that is you want."She insinuated without making eye contact. On the other hand, another yawn escaped Alex's mouth but this time, he felt more awake. He also shifted his body and made himself more comfortable on the couch; but did not do anything to sit down and instead, he remained in his lying position. He watched Shantal expression as the other party's face started to slowly took a deep shade of red. Not long after that, Shantal's eyes darted back to him to see what he

SHANTAL's P o V~~~I used to think that it was an exaggeration to say that being loved and in love were two of the greatest things that a person could ever discover in their life; in my opinion, not putting yourself on top of your priority list all for the sake of the one you loved was downright foolishness and I could not for the life of me understood the logic behind it. For me, love was nothing but a poison that could kill my ambition. I made it to myself to live a life of indifference so that no one would be able to get through me. Raised as the heiress of a multi billionaire corporate, I was taught since from a very young age the importance of not letting anyone see your weak spot, lest you would want them to have something that they could use against you in the future. For years, I trained my resolve and keep all my emotions to myself so th

SHANTAL's P o V~~~Anyhoo! Going back to what we were talking about previously before I entered a trip to memory lane...These were basically what happened to me. Don't get me wrong, I am already happy and contented at the kind of life I had now. I am thankful that I encountered all of these hardships because if not for them, I would not be like this now. It was all I could ask for. Although it would not be a bad idea as well if the author of my life would help me make amends with Jodi. I think she was the missing piece in my heart that was making me feel incomplete. I wanted to make peace with her, but my pride was stopping me. Besides, I have no idea where to start or how to do it right. That was why I never made an attempt to contact her yet.Alex and I were good now and soon, we would be in good

SHANTAL's P o V~~~"You sure sleep like a baby."I muttered under my breath when I noticed Alex had fallen asleep in the sofa. Apparently, he decided to go and visit his dreamland in the meantime, while I was a busy and in the middle of talking with you all.Time sure knew how to fly past when all you wanted was to make it stop. But weird enough, even a minute could feel like eternity when you were waiting for something.Aye! Just come to think how practically every aspect and concept of life was ironic in general.Anyway! All I am saying was that night time already came without me even realizing it; another day had come to its end. What I found to be more shocking was the fact that I was completely unaware of time until I checked for the sun. It was only when I decided 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.

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.

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.

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
