She had always been a good wife and did every house chore and never for once did she complain even when she was poorly treated by her in-laws. One day her husband comes home with a divorce paper and she signed it after crying and begging. But soon her ex-husband and the whole world were about to know her hidden identity and what would be their reaction?
View MoreWith no money or card at hand, Darling stood there before the cashier, embarrassed. She had followed Morgan and her friends and did whatever they were doing but why did it not cross her mind that she would need money to pay for whatever it was she would be buying? Darling was so embarrassed that she just stood frozen and not knowing what to do. "Ma'am, are you paying or not? If you can't then I'll call the security to throw you out, you can't just barge here and not pay for what you bought. I don't know what a lowlife like you is doing in a store like this anyway," the cashier blew off. This was enough to snap Darling out of her tranced self and she quickly spoke up, "Uhm, no please, just give me one second," she pleaded and immediately walked up to Morgan who stood at a corner waiting for her. "Morgan, please help me out, I don't have any money on me right now," Darling pleaded while deeply hoping Morgan wouldn't cause more scene. "Uhm, no am sorry, I can't do that," Morgan
Although curious as to why Morgan was suddenly inviting her out to go shopping with her friends, Darling realized there absolutely wasn't any harm in joining Morgan and her friends. Not to mention, it wasn't like she would remain seated in this mansion doing nothing when she had so much to do, like make friends or acquaintances, understand how the entertainment world works, and learn how the rich women behaved. There was no way she would learn any of that by just sitting by, but that does not entirely mean she had forgiven Morgan for what she did, Darling was particularly mad and hurt but she couldn't keep whining around. Maybe if she made new friends, she would have someone to help her begin her acting career. Morgan was looking to join an entertainment company that wasn't her father's because she wanted to build her career from scratch and hardship. She may be new to the old money life, but she also understood that nobody would respect her if she joined her father's company.
"What are you doing? Get away from my bags." Morgan spoke while standing by the door, interrupting Darling's quest to quench her curiosity Stepping into the bedroom, she snatched the photo frame from Darling and pushed her away from the bags, causing Darling to fall to the ground with her butt. "Don't you know it's bad manners to go through people's stuff, you people from the slums just don't know how to behave," said Morgan as she placed the frame back into the bag where Darling brought it out from. "Now get up and leave my bedroom and never step into this place unless I permit you," Morgan ordered with her index finger pointing at the door, a gesture for Darling to know she was no longer welcome here. But Darling was having none of that, she was still in shock at what she was sure and that was enough to make her understand that these bags were meant for her, not Morgan. "Whose bags are those? Because they definitely don't belong to you," Darling demanded as she slowly stood up f
"And what do you have to offer to my company? Is it the talent you lack or the influence you don't have? Because are Mr Sy's daughter does not mean things will go your own way. It would be best if you just stay in your father's company and don't approach me again." Darling heard Duke's words and watched as he left through the elevator with his cold gaze solely on her till he was eventually out of sight. "How mean," She murmured to herself with her face marred with a sad look as she took in those mean words from Duke. They kept replaying loudly in her head like a broken tape. She sighed and turned around, prepared to leave the elevator area when she caught sight of Morgan, not just Morgan but with a small crowd of people. Some of the people in the crowd were reporters, surrounding Morgan as they took photos of her while shouting to gain her attention. Darling also noted the young girls screaming as they ran after Morgan while what seemed like security men surrounded Morgan, prot
"Do you mean Duke Grant and Ms Morgan?" Sarah asked while turning to face Darling who still had her eyes inside the room. "No, not at all. They are not in any relationship" She cleared with a soft chuckle and Darling nodded.However, Sarah who still had something to say took a few steps close to Darling and whispered in Darling's ears, "They would have actually been in a relationship if not for the incident that happened about a year ago," Sarah said and those words were enough to grab all of Darling's attention.Darling whose eyes were glued inside the room turned to face Sarah in a whim the moment she heard what Sarah said."What do you mean by they would have been in a relationship, did something happen?" She asked, curiosity swimming in her eyes as she was prepared to hear some tea spilling."Yep, something did happen. About a year ago, it was announced that Duke and Morgan would be getting married and it had been all over the news and it was the talk of town as people had differe
A little surprised at their attitude towards her, Darling quickly stood up and looked around the place before her gaze fell on the two figures that headed towards the elevator.With her eyes still on them, Morgan and the handsome man stepped into the elevator and the door was soon shut close, leaving Darling to stare at the closed doors of the elevator.With a long soft sigh, Darling looked away and proceeded to help herself up from the floor. She stared down at the stack of files and papers that Morgan had made her carry, she was now torn between carrying it and leaving this place or just leaving it here.After much contemplation, Darling decided that leaving the stack of files and papers here would be best because there was no way she would go through the same episode of carrying those heavy papers around.And with that thought, she walked towards the elevator and thankfully there were two elevators and she made use of the second one and it opened up to reveal a lady standing inside
"With the way you are standing there, a person would never believe you are Mr Sy's daughter." A deep voice stated from a distance, grabbing Darling's attention and Darling turned to see who it was.Seeing the tall figure that stood in a distance with his hands tugged inside his pocket, Darling's eyes grew wide as she recalled where she had seen him. It was the guy from last night!What was he doing here? And who was he by the way? Darling was curious.Duke had never thought he would come across this lady from last night but seeing her now, a smirk found its way to his lips as he wondered why she was here and in this state.But it somehow made sense, she was Mr Sy's daughter and had every right to be here but why does she look like that?This morning in his house, it had been war during breakfast because the news of what his mother had said to Mrs Sy and their spoilt princess had gotten to his grandfather's ears and the old man was mad.His grandfather, Mr Grant wanted him to marry the
For some odd reasons yet to be known and as crazy as it may sound, Darling felt off even though she didn't want to. Why was she heading to the same place as Morgan but she was currently the only person who appeared off, like she didn't dress for the occasion?These thoughts occupied Darling's mind but she decided to shove the thought aside as she entered the vehicle right after Morgan and the driver drove off.The journey to the Sy family's company was a silent one, neither Morgan nor Darling exchanged words with each other and Darling preferred it that way because who knows what next might come out of Morgan's unhinged mouth.Unhinged? Now that was a little bit creative, thought Darling to herself.A few minutes had passed and they finally arrived at the company, it was a huge skyscraper and to think Darling would be stepping into this building. All her life, she had never seen an opportunity that would ever bring her to places like this, not that it worried her.The word 'Sy's Enter
Breakfast was soon over with both Mr and Mrs Sy alongside Grandpa Sy leaving for the company, of course, they never forgot to bid Darling goodbye before leaving.Now Darling was left with the other girl seated beside her, the girl was a blonde and during the few times Darling threw occasional glances at the blonde girl, she noticed the piercings on her nose, she also wore heavy makeup which Darling thought was too much considering this was still morning.At first, no one said anything to each other as the blonde lady concentrated on her food without sparing Darling a glance. Darling was very much curious about this girl because Mrs Sy had introduced the blonde girl as her daughter, adopted daughter and Darling felt that made sense.Darling who couldn't keep her curiosity at bay slightly tilted her head and stole a glance at the blonde lady whose name was Morgan and that was the exact moment Morgan stared back at her and they both locked gazes with Darling now red from embarrassing be
She woke up swamped in her light pink covers, rubbing her eyes as the bright sunlight hit them, she glanced over at her clock to see it was 09:08 AM.Her sleepy eyes were quick to snap open and she threw off her bedcovers and stood up from the bed at a lightning-bolt speed."I woke up late!"Darling screamed to herself knowing what consequences awaited her actions.She ran into the bathroom without seeing the need to waste time and freshened up as quickly as possible.Having been married to her husband for more than three years, she was used to doing all the chores around the house. She would wake up as early as seven and go to bed as late as ten.While getting ready, she could already imagine the stares and glares she would receive from her in-laws for failing to wake up early to get the morning chores done.It wasn't that she woke up late on purpose, Throughout last night she had been cleaning and washing and never found time to rest and by the time she was done, it was past ten.He
