Winifred told Gift everything about her former husband who her family sold her to marry after Joseph's father broke up their engagement.

Her family considered her useless since she had the scar on her face and had to resign, so she didn't have any choice or money to refute, however, five years into the abusive marriage and Joseph's dad was back for her, divorced and with a son, wanting to right his wrongs.

But at that point, she was dead inside.

Haven spent five years with a man who violated her and starved her from time to time would do that to anyone, so she rejected him.

She couldn't hate the man she was in love with, but she couldn't love him either and she had secretly rejected his proposal only to get home to a husband who already found out the details of her meeting with him.

And forced a confession out of her, so she told him the truth and when she was expecting him to hit her for talking to a man without his permission, he had given her food and pampered her for the foll

    After the two friends came to a conclusion on how they would be helping themselves, they decided to have tea and hangout until Mr Kim's bodyguard arrived because he had agreed to Gift's suggestions the moment she mentioned them even though he ouldnt have normally agreed. They were seated at a table of two because of Gift's stubborness as she insisted on having some time alone with Winifred, this keeping her aide at a distant table. “Are you sure you should be drinking coffee when you're pregnant though?” Gift asked as she sipped from her own cup of smoothie. “Hmm, it's fine Ineedtodrivelater,” Winifred slurred as she placed her head on the table and closed her eyes. Gift noticed the dark circles of her eyebags and couldn't help but reach out in concern.“You must have been really out of it, ehn? Dozing even after two shots of expresso,” Gift said as she patted Winifred's air, making her jump as she was startled. “Right, I'm sorry. I should go home already,” she raised her head as

    Her heart was racing like crazy.“Please, spare me. This bag has the remaining ten million and I added another one million to mark the end of our meeting, so please, please don't let me hug you. Take twenty steps from the car and I'll throw the money outside them we will go our separate ways,” she whimpered as she pleaded with him.Winifred knew that she couldn't trust a man who breathed lies for a living, but at the same time, she wanted to based on the fact that this was supposed to be their ‘agreed’ last meeting.“Okay okay. You didn't have to cry, your tears are not good for the baby, you know,” he said and her heart stilled.“How did you know I was pregnant?

    “Hey, Olivia,” he called out, feeling more energetic now that he was alone in the same space as her.“How did you manage to get past that cranky librarian?” she frowned as he apprached her with a huge grin on his face. She looked away from him as she couldn’t bring herself to be bothered by him, but he wasn’t leaving as he jogged to catc up with her.“Why are you coming after me? Just go away,” she sighed as she sighted her spot ahead.“ You see, I have my charms and nobody can resist them no matter how hard they try, but there is you,” he sighed as he licked his lower lips, but she wasn;t even looking. “You won’t even spare me glance talk less of notice my charm and it hurts my ego so much that i fell for you.”“And that’s the most illogical thing I have ever heard a human say,” she rolled her eyes as she reached te table and paused, wondering in her heart where her chubby slave was, and hoping and praying that he was fine.“Then I’ll ake it logical.

    By the time Gift regained consciousness, Zenith's face was the first one she saw. “What happened?” She asked as his eyes sharpened. “She's awake, call the doctor!” Zenith shouted before turning back to her. “What were you thinking?” “What do you mean?” “You strained yourself so much that you can't even stand right now. The doctors think that you would need another two months to be able to start therapy, they said you stressed your legs too much,” he said as he held her hand and dropped it back to her side, repeating the motion nervously. “Well, I just wanted to be able to stand for the cruise tomorrow. I can't be useless after making you spend all this money.” “Useless? Who said you were useless for crying out loud? You're the reason why I got the chance in the first place, you're the reason why my little sister is more open. You're a very important person to Mez to us!” “Ouch,” Gift tried to move, but the pain shut up to her waist. “I can't move my legs, what about the ship

    Zenith on the other hand was puzzled and in a bid as he didn't know how to break the news of Winifred's accident to her. “That's not it,” he said absentmindedly. “Then what is? You want me to beg on my knees? Unfortunately, I can't right now, so please pass it already, I need to speak to her,” she said, oblivious to the crease on his forehead. “But you can't,” he said and she raised her eyebrows. “Oh? Why not?” “That's because your battery is dead and there is no charger around. Also, you need to rest more.” “Why so stubborn? I just want to make sure that the guards got to her in the morning,” she said as she found his defense excessive. “They actually did. A few minutes after you were brought here. Plus it's just noon, so you should leave her to herself for now,” he said and she finally gave up. “I can't believe I won't be walking by myself tomorrow,” she sighed. “Don't worry, I will be by your side throughout, the wheelchair I ordered already arrived as well and its automat

    “Thank you for inviting us, I feel really honoured to be part of this meeting, Ruby Yu,” he said as he lengthened his strides to catch up, but her bodyguards ended up coming in between them. “I would like to have some private tea time with your partner, is that okay?” Ruby Yu suddenly paused, when she noticed that he wasn't giving up on going after Gift. “Gift is…” “She will be fine,” scarlet was the one who came in between them and said coldly.“Then, she can't handle too much cold and her leg is really sensitive right now because she had another issue with it yesterday,” he said nervously as he tried to reach Gift further. “I will look after my friend well,” she smiled at him as she found his actions comical and in total rivalry to the rumours she'd heard about him. He was supposed to be cold and clad that she was taken away, because he was in a bid due to his vice-president's corruption. Instead, he seemed really nervous about Gift. “Zenith really is in love with you,uhn?” Ru

    “What?” Gift who was too immersed in the story really just wanted to know what and realised her mistake later as they both laughed it off. “I never wore them because I end up buying knew set of dressing for another party and the circle continued,” she said with a sigh. “So it's like an expensive hobby. I don't know much about clothing, but from what I see here, they definitely cost thousands of dollars each,” Gift tried to make a mental calculation, but she couldn't. The numbers were just too large. “Well, you're not wrong. It became an hobby that I enjoyed over time, but I'm getting older and I've grown out of the sizes that I bought then. There are some even twenty years old, you know,” Ruby Yu said and Olivia gasped as she moved her chair forward, looking at the cloths on display, some with their price tags on the front. The styles were so obvious by the time she reached the end of the closet which was more of a Walkways showroom. There were no cosmetics or jewelries in sight

It was the same with her lover right now, when his mother had found out about her after pretending that they were only friends for years. She had felt desperate, but his mother had smiled and accepted her without a itch, although she did it so she could make use of her for the power she had. “You don't have to apologize like that.” “Then do you want me to kneel down? I'm really sorry. If you'll accept my apology, I'll kneel,” Gift said as she tried to get on her knees but scarlet on Ruby Yu's command held her back. “And why would I want that?” Ruby Yu took a sip of her now cold drink with a smile as if she had no idea what she was tasting. “Because I betrayed you and…” “It's barely betrayal dear if I knew everything from the start.

    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

    “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

    “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

    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

    “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
