Zenith had gotten to the end of the conversation with regards to his real estate diversification. “So you can come see me in the office with this pass anytime after next week,” The vice-president extended his hand with a card in it and Zenith gladly received it. “Thank you, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to go look for my partner, we came in together but-” “I think it's high time you stopped using this excuse of a partner to try to run away, especially now that you've gotten what you wanted. It makes it feel like you used us for yourself only.” Senator Washington said and he sat back down. Knowing that him defending himself would only make her doubt and question him more, he looked around again for anything signs of Gift“That's right, everyone knows that you are single, so don't pretend like that and focus on what's in front of you, weren't you praising her earlier?” Vice President Washington asked as he scolded him. “I was only stating the fact that I learnt about, my former ass
“Godmother is around,” someone announced and everyone looked up as Ruby Yu appeared at the very top of the spiral stairs that had a red carpet from top to bottom. Many were anxious to have an audience with her, because even in this top circle, she had the highest position.It felt like deja vu for Gift and Zenith as they also walked slowly towards the center, but unlike the first time, neither of them were jealous and a few other things had happened in reverse and there was a heavy air between the both of them, with neither of them being able to look into eachother's eyes. Or rather, they tried as the approached the others, but it felt like electricity zaps and they would look away the instant the tried, sure yet unsure at the same time what was going on and this could be related to what happened ten minutes back. Zenith had left the Washington’s to find Gift exactly ten minutes prior to that time and he had found her sulking in a corner haven emptied two flutes of champagne and w
They gathered around Ruby Yu who walked down elegantly with a glass of wine in her left hand while holding the feathers of the Russian styled royal dress she had tried on back inside the room. “This really looks good on you, it kind of fits the theme more…” “Did I say too much, I'm sorry, I just…” “No it's fine, I think it's a better fit too. Let's continue looking through the closet for what you like,” and like that they continued, but she had held onto Gifts words and tried it on, this wearing her second dress for the party. Ruby Yu and Gift had an eye contact at that moment that she was having a flashback and they both smiled. “You look really good,” “Thank you,” we mouthed back before turning her attention to the crowd and hiding her smile. “Whoa, she looks so out of this world.” “She looks just like she’s in her thirties,” people started to whisper and murmur between themselves as she continued her descent. While all of that was happening and people were captivated by her
So when Ruby Yu called out his name as the newest member of the Clover secret Club, he was more dazed than he could afford. Zenith was too preoccupied with what Gift was doing to process the question that had just being asked and while everyone burst out in that murmur, Gift had continued her acts to prove possessiveness over Zenith. Ruby Yu's eyes scanned around before settling once again in Gift's direction, except this time, she wasn't the only one she was looking at. Those in that direction got louder as they thought, “she looked at me, I'm definitely the newest member,” they said between themselves as the invitees boasted of their connections amongst the already existing members, while others scampered around trying to make new connections. Ruby Yu relished in the feeling of being above them as she looked down. Her descent down the stairs hadn't reached the foot of the stairs as she stopped midway where she used as her podium to address the others. As she looked away from Gi
Zenith tried to release his hand from Gift, but she only held unto him even more. Ruby Yu chuckled and once again turned to the crowd with the brightest of smiles, making the good relationship they had very obvious as both older members and invitees who could only look forward to the next year for a chance of joining the secret club felt anxious as they wanted to form a connection with this person that Ruby Yu was so proud to show off. “Must be royalty.”“Or maybe a secret child of mafia family,” they whispered between themselves..But not one of them would have thought, until moments later when they saw Ruby Yu and Gift chatting naturally and happily, that the person they were all looking up to and ready to kneel for was a twenty year old orphan on the wheelchair. Until then,Ruby Yu planned to continue having her fun. 'One untrained child will not ruin my mood for the night,” she thought as she glanced around.“Did you all know what the theme for today's anniversary was?” She sudd
“Why are you being so shy? We've shared a room together in the hospital.”“It was different, we had separate beds then,” Gift protested. “There's no difference if we will be sharing a bed as big as this come on, don't let it go to waste, godmother won't be happy,” he winked at her and she felt a sudden urge to punch him.“You are doing this intentionally, right?” “What do you mean? I just want to sleep with the woman I like, why? Do you hate me so much that…”“You know I don’t and can’t hate you,” Gift felt her words going nowhere and turned around. “I’m tired, I’ll go take my bath first.”“That means you love me,” Zenith said to himself but loud enough for Olivia to hear. “Let me know if you need any help.” he shouted after her but she ignored him only to have to call him back ten minutes later.“Zenith, can you please pass me the towel?” Gift shouted when she realized that there was nothing to dry her body. “Sure,” Zenith was more than glad to do so and they went through another t
Gift woke up earlier the next morning and snuggled closer to the pillow she was hugging, it felt so plush and comfortable like the teddy bear she used to hug to sleep when she was at the orphanage. It brought a smile to her face as she tried to go back to sleep. The feeling was too nice to ignore, until she wanted to stretch her leg and bumped into something. ‘Was my pillow always this big?’ she wondered to herself as she fluttered her eyes open slowly, adjusting to the brightness of the room but without letting go of her fluffy pillow until she realised that it wasn't what she thought. Startled, she tried to let go of Zenith's hand that she was hoping unto a little too affectionately for the type of relationship they had, but when she tried to get away, she felt his hand on her back, holding her close to him as if scared of letting go. She froze when Zenith grunted and watched his eyelashes flutter open without being able to take her eyes off and with extreme jealousy for how lon
“Gift, I promise you that I can never be disloyal to you, you have to believe me,” Zenith sounded desperate as he was kneeling in front of gift. “Of courses what did I expect of someone like you,” she groaned as she looked away from him when he grabbed her wrists and and kissed the back of her palm. “Mama, how did we get here?” He lowered his head, feeling regretful as a sigh left his lips, but he didn't stop rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb to appease. Her. How they got there? Oh! Gift knew. She knew it very much, and although she somewhat blamed herself, but she couldn't bring herself to back down. Although Zenith had apologized, she still felt embarrassed and a little hurt because of her misunderstanding. “Hmmpf,” she looked to the side, but unable to focus on the TV displayed in front of her as her mind went back to barely 30 minutes ago, after she had sent Olivia to school. It was the second day since they came back from the ship cruise, there had been more goin
