2024-05-12 17:01:06Mr Kim upon hearing this finally understood that he had been cuckolded by Sofia and her father whom he suspected was behind the accident as well..
While he made phone calls to investigate, the culprit was dead as well
as the other witness while the victim and final witness was going under the knife with a low chance of survival.
“She has been suffering too much these past days, I just wished I had done better,” Trenor sighed as they paced the halls.
“Why didn't you tell me?” Olivia lashed at him.
“That was because she said not to, she-”
“You should have told me, I promised to protect her and I failed. I let my brother get to her, it's all my fault,” she said as she went into another round of tears.
And Joseph and to come in again, telling her all will be alr

“The surgery was successful,” the doctor came out of the operating room exactly twelve hours after she was wheeled in and not a single member of the Kim family or the other three with them mentioned leaving.As the doctor walked up to them and gave the announcement while peeling off his bloody gloves, they all let out a sigh of relief they didn't know that they were holding. Joseph's stepmother signed deeply as strength left her legs and she collapsed to the chair. “Thank goodness,” she sighed as she brought her palm to her face. She had a health condition that required her to have her eight hours of sleep and also use her medications promptly. For the sake of Joseph whom she couldn't leave behind, she had sacrificed that.But the relief she felt now made it worth it. Although she didn't know much about Gift, who she had only met a couple of times, it was safe to say that Gift was her only friend at this point. Olivia was in the same corner as her and Joseph as she did not want to

“It’s a whole lot different from the last time,” he muttered, barely audible for people farther away from him to hear with a small smile before retrieving it and replacing it with his professional look at the sight of the drama unfolding in front of him.Zenith caught his words but Olivia was pressing the issue.So as suggested, after Olivia shrugged Zenith off and went to comfort Joseph, they went in with the doctor who explained that Gift's case was a lot more critical and fragile and that she would need maximum attention from her guardian. “I understand that you all are busy, we have nurses and contracted caretakers who can take care of her while you work,” the doctor said after giving them a briefing of her situation and the other things that had happened in the operating room. “I can look after her,” Trenor offered, “I'm just the vice president and the president will be busy at the company while Mr Kim will have to look after Olivia.” “No!” Zenith strongly refused immediately.

“You can only visit her one at a time, Overcrowding is not good for the patient,” a male nurse who was amongst those who wheeled her in said as he smacked gum and rested his side on the doorway.Zenith frowned his face and was about to call him out, visibly irritated by his unethical actions when Trenor stepped forward.“I’ll go in first,” Trenor said to everyone but zenith who was right beside him. Olivia and her slave were wavering between the adults to go visit Gift.“I’m the slave and you’re the master, but we can go in together, right? Addition of our ages is still less than a whole human,” Joseph said as he squeezed behind her and Olivia paused at the absurdity of his words, but it was a logic she was willing to test, because although she didn’t want to go in alone, she didn’t see herself asking her dad, brother or Trenor.He was ignoring his boss, but Zenith could be shameless.“Vice president, what are you doing here? I believe you have a lot of work as it is,” Zenith said as h

“How dare you touch her?” He said with his eyes glaring as he grabbed Niel's wrists and twisted it to his back before walking round the bed and pushing him hard against the wall. “You bastard!” With that, a crack sounded and everyone knew what it meant, he just had his shoulder dislocated. “What was that for? I was just trying to clean her up,” Niel cried as he tapped the wall with his free hand before he got released, and ran to the doctor's side. “Damn it, he's a monster, shouldn't we call the police?” He lamented as they apologized to Zenith and dragged him out of the room. “Call the police? You had that coming! Don't you know how powerful he is?” The doctor frowned as he fixed his hand. A wail echoed through the corridor before he could freely move the hand, then he turned to the female nurse who was looking at him with pity. “I'm in so much pain, do you pity me?” He winked, trying to flirt with her and although the female nurse knew that he was known as the hospital's flirt,

If only he knew how much she didn't want him to at that moment. But there was no way for him to know that, so he picked up the boom and read all he could from the pages that still had their writings intact. “Your handwriting is really pretty,” he muttered aloud with a depressing frown on his face as he closed the book, and by the time he was done, it was already close to evening time. Just in time for their large family to come visiting. It was a lovely scene as they all made sure to have their early dinner together with her as the doctor had mentioned stimulating her sense of smell haven been told that she loved cooking. Joseph was the first to speak.“Today again, my mom burnt our dinner, but Olivia said it was still delicious, so when you wake up, you can adopt me and leave Olivia to my mom,” he said as he dragged a drumstick with his front teeth. “That's not true, the food wasn't really burnt and you know it's not good to waste food,” Olivia defended as she drank some water o

When he turned his back and walked towards the elevator, the idle staff and patients who had watched the whole thing unfold gathered in small groups to gossip, all of them expressing their displeasure. The ride up the elevator was a nervous one for him as he kept thinking up words to say to get what he wanted, but when he got to the room and had a guard in a suit with a big body like a bouncer open the door for him, all his words dissipated alongside his boldness. At the sight of the Kim family and the top executive, he couldn't work his brain. Olivia looked between her brother and the wretched looking man in front of her and nodded silently. Even though she was still angry at him, he was still a million times better compared to Ken who never cared about her. Ken looked around the room for a familiar face and when he didn't find it, he started to retreat. “Where are you going?” Mr Kim was first to speak even though it disgusted him, “you're no longer a part of the company,” he s

“It's my pleasure, he seems really concerned by this person, who is she?”“Oh, she's my…”“She's my wife,” Zenith stepped in and spoke up as he offered his hand for shaking. “Hmm, can I check on her? I was on my way to the airport but Joseph insisted that I checked on her.” “Sure sure, please this way,” Mr Kim led him towards Gift's bedside and there she was, looking peaceful as she slept. A doctor came in and he asked for the charts, but the more he read, the deeper his frown became. “Is there an issue?” Trenor stretched his neck as he asked. “If I'm right, this coma shouldn't be this long? There's no reason for her to not have woken up by now, except…” the rest of his words were swallowed as he turned to the doctor in charge and cocked his head in questioning.The doctor looked away as if in guilt. Zenith on the other hand knew now that he could no longer hide that fact from his family. “Can you cure her?” Olivia asked as they walked up to him and held his hand. “Of course,

“Darling…” he was crying full time by now, but it wasn't just him.“Please stay,” she was crying too. She just couldn't afford for him to leave her.Not when she finally had him again.Back in the room, curious Olivia couldn't help but ask about his Stepmom's scar.“My dad loves good chefs and that's why my mother was able to get in between them.”“What do you mean?” Mr Kim couldn't hide his curiosity as well.“She is my dad's first love, but my mother drugged him and had me,” he smiled and did a little dramatic twirl, “but when my Stepmom tried to confront her, she burnt her with hot oil and that's why she has to color her face like that. My step mom used to be a children's doctor, but she had to give it up since her face scared the children. But I don't ha

Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 112- epilogue, the end
Gift's POV Today is the happiest day of my life, or rather each day has been getting happier for me ever since I met him, my boyfriend. We've had a lot of rocky days of course, but seeing him standing in that expensive suit, dressing to match my rhinestone dress which he had gotten for me to celebrate my matriculation just makes me feel even more happier and I have no doubt that he would find a way to make me happier woman by this time tomorrow. I can't help but smile at the thought of all the things he has put together and worked on for us to get here. He changed himself to fit me, a one of a kind man. “Gifty, where's my daughter?” I heard someone call from a distance as I looked around and saw Ruby Yu. She looked unlike how I'd ever seen her all the times we've met either physically or through video calls cos not once have I ever seen her in a pair of denim skirt and a white short sleeved button up shirt. I gasped as I walked up to hug her, “you look so stunning mom, I thought

“Who taught you how to make this” he asked with a voice so soft she had to be sure it was the same meanie talking to her. “No one. It's my first time making this,” she confessed.“How about your mother? She must have cooked this for you when you were younger, right?” He asked as if he was talking to a child, trying his best to be careful with his words“Uhn? I grew up in an orphanage,” She stuttered as she tried to form the words that failed to form. She wanted to tell him to stop acting nice as she had learned to be unrestrained and speak for herself over the months, however, there was a glistening in his eyes that made her stop. Something wasn't right. She watched as he set the chop sticks aside with shaky hands before rinsing a fork and grabbing a small ceramic plate for himself as he sat on a stool. After serving himself a small portion of everything which was a surprise for the young man who was around to assist in the supervision that he stood and watched with his mouth sligh

An hour down and the kitchen was left with just six of the original contestants; Gift, Beauty's mom, an Italian through and through, the lady with a fringe from earlier and two others who seemed to be sisters. “We can do this. Let's learn under Master Luca together,” the sisters cheered for themselves as they continued cooking, arranging the ingredients and trying their best to stay till the end. “It's a little too soon to address me as your master, don't you think?” Chef Luca said coldly and the ladies went silent, but that didn't diminish the brightness in their eyes. They were set and the determination was evident. Gift wasn't lacking behind either although she was with nobody to cheer for her beside her, she worked between sitting and standing while trying her best to remember and incorporate the basics that she had learnt over time. She only had her motivation and occasionally water and candy breaks to keep her company and that satisfied her. “And where do you think you're
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 109 - how to pick the right cucumber
“You tell me why you decided to choose this particular cucumber even though it's already starting to ripen?” He asked and the lady who had a fringe gulped and adjusted her expression before answering him. “This is a family dish and although people would not go for the ripe cucumber when buying in the market, I chose it so that that part could be served for the younger ones, l-like the child dish…,” she cleared her throat with a little stutter before continuing, “since the cucumber is not going to be steamed according to the recipe, this is the best way to make it easier for the child,” she said nervously, blinking up to ten times per second. Chef Luca had a straight face as he dropped the cucumber back in the ingredients plates before turning to look at Gift and saying with so much tenacity, “the competition can start, but I'll have you know that I won't hesitate to kick you out for the slightest of errors. Do your best if you want to prove yourself!” He said as the stuttering lady
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 108 - 20 competitors left
“You are only standing here because you're lucky I will do anything for my godmother,” The moment chef Luca returned to the kitchen, he glared at her and Gift knew that he wasn't lying about that one, so she nodded and offered a small smile which he didn't bother to appreciate.but the moment he turned away from her, she let out a sigh of relief but she knew how much he valued ruby Yu from the way he personalized ‘godmother’. At this moment, Gift and Winifred had already set their ingredients on the table and were having mini talks until the next phase of the cooking competition would start when there was suddenly a noise coming from the storage area where they went to pick their ingredients.As they turned their head to the side, they saw the pompous lady from earlier who was bragging about her servants run out if the storage room with tears in her eyes. “You just wait until my I tell my husband about this,” she cleared her throat and sniffled before pausing to raise her head up so

“I like puppies more than cats,” Beauty said as she carried the furry car that had two long white stripes running from the back of its two ears to the tail where they joined as one, making the fail complete white on the top and black underneath. “Them leave my cat alone, you aren't even being true to yourself,” Olivia scoffed as she took a sit beside her and started to pet the other two kittens that had run to her laps. “The cat's for your mother, plus you named this very beautiful cat after me. How could I not pet it when we sure the same name?” Beauty argued back as she hugged the cat closer, her hand still brushing it's fur on the back. “I wish she gave Jonold my full name too, but instead she made me share with this fatty,” Arnold lamented as he kissed the face of the cat on his laps. All four of them were seated on a cushion with Beauty,Jornold and two other cats whose owners they didn't know. “Are you blind or do you need me to remind you that I basically can't gain too much
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 106 - The Ruby Yu
She had some friends who supported her this time, unlike those who considered her as competition back at the orphanage. This time around, her distraction was the genuine love she recieved from her family and not from someone who wanted to bring her down. She was genuinely supported, however, unlike those times when those exam papers were marked without a care for who owned them, those times when they grades were given fairly and without partiality, Gift felt a heavy dose of partiality weigh on her. Winifred squeezed her hand to support her,but they both decided to let it go. “I'll just raise my hand next time,” Gift muttered tl herself and hoped that was really the case. “Now you all will move on to picking out the ingredients as described in the recipes. Just twenty minutes for this stage and there is just enough for everyone.” The Italian in white said and they all nodded stiff for a moment. Him saying just enough for everyone sounded like a declaration of scarcity for Gift and
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 105 - Chef Luca Bellucci
“These recipe is so strange, I never even knew that such a combination could exist,” Gift muttered to herself as she picked up the small pamphlet that was handed to all thirty of the contestants. While every single one of them was each given the same meal to cook, it was still all strange to them as Winifred and Gift showed eachother their pamphlet and they were able to.confurm it when others started murmuring. Just one dish written in Italian and English, Luca Bellucci family meal, but even those who claimed to have cooking certificates have the little pamphlet the same confusing look as Gift. It was safe to say that they were about to cook a meal based in written steps and no idea of how to go about it or how it should even taste beforehand. Some of them had never even heard of it before.Gift who didn't have the luxury to eat many foreign food due to her financial status before had spent the past two months watching YouTube videos, because she had gotten another helpful tip fro

“Please cooperate,” he was past being stubborn and had to lower himself to make Gift concede. There was still the issue with the cats and the children which included Joseph, Beauty and Olivia as it so turned out that Beauty's mom had connections enough to let her know about the competition and what better way to form a good relationship than cooking together. However, she had gone in ahead while leaving beauty with Olivia and Joseph after begging and confirming that there would be no traces of Scarlet or any friends with a gun. “The kids, but not Zenith. He can't go to somewhere like that, it'll stress him,” Gift said as she remembered how Zenith had to be rushed to the hospital at midnight of the night the cat's were first adopted. He had tried to force himself to adapt to the pets by hugging them through the night but there was only little his body could take then. However he didn't give up the two months that followed, training himself and diligently following the doctor's presc
