Shocked!Danica was shocked for a couple of seconds as her head was left hanging in the air after hearing what the young woman had said to her. It's a good thing Erica's voice was lowered, so other people didn't hear what she said.She couldn't understand how this woman who she has never met before could come to know about her most pressing need?how did she come to know about this? Only mom and I know about this matter.After hesitating for a couple of minutes, Danica smiled faintly before taking the business card from her hand. “Miss Quest, we should get going now. The event is still on”.After saying the word, Bethany snuck herself out of the crowd, meandering after Erica.Meanwhile, Zayn just arrived at the event hall when his gaze fell on a group of people causing a cacophony some distance away from where he was.He was reluctant about checking out what was happening, however, when his eyes fell on the figure of the young woman who he had recognized as the woman who saved him, h
The banquet of tonight was a combination of the public warfare donation and also a birthday party for Mr. Downey. Although, not many people knew about his birthday. However, Bethany has made her research, so she was one of the few people that knew this.“Thank you, Miss Burnett. You shouldn't have taken up the troubles. Coming over to see me in such a short time was a bigger gift”.He replied while taking the gift from her. Immediately, he began to unwrap the package of the gift right in front of her.After unwrapping the gift, he had a smile on his face.“How did you come to know that I love this art piece so much? Are you a magician?”.He asked with his eyes glistening with joy.“You might as well say so”.Erica replied.“Zayn, I can't help you with the matter you said before as I'm no longer agile to do such works at my age”.After pitting down the gifts, he looked up at Zayn, who was sitting aside silently. They have been discussing a certain issue earlier, but have to leave it i
Bethany turned around with her arm circled her chest.“The goal is not to prove her wrong in front of others just yet, why should we be in a hurry when we can enjoy the show at a better place and time? It won't be any fun rushing up a tasty meal, would it?”.Bethany turned her gaze toward Erica with a smirk I'm her face.Erica nodded her head aggressively before letting out a laugh.“I think this calls for a celebration, Bethany. I'll go he the drinks”.With that, Erica dashed over to the refrigerator to get the drinks while Bethany walked silently to the balcony and stood there with her hands on the railings.She gazed at the sky wearing a gloomy expression–Her eyes were filled with unshed tears, anger, and endless expressions that were hard to explain.The look on her face suggested that she was happy, however, her heart says otherwise as she didn't seem to have enough reason to be happy –At least not until she was done with her mission.While she was lost in thought, Erica cane aroun
Danica arrived home in high as well as low spirit today, however, after giving it a few thoughts she decided to well up on the news than dwell on the bad ones.Arriving home she was not as grumpy as usual, so the maid was surprised to see her in this state. They quickly dispersed to a corner after seeing her coming into the living room.Danica didn't bother to spend much time in the living room as went upstairs, directly to her room. While she was on her way to the room, she met Samantha on the way, she was coming out of Jordan's room–room–It seems as though she had just finished tucking the little boy to bed.Upon seeing her, Danica rolled her eyes and proceeded to open the door to her room. Nonetheless, Samantha spoke, bringing her to a halt in her tracks.“You seemed happy today, what are the special effects, Danica. Did Zayn......”.“Not now, mom. I'm tired after a long day, so I'm going off to bed. see you tomorrow”She replied sounding like she was in a haste. Samantha just watc
She stepped out of the car and hailed down a cab to go to the Blue Ridge company after sending Jenna back.Immediately, she arrived at the company, she took out a name card from her bag as she stood outside of the company's building. she called the number on the name card.Soon enough, the call was connected, a man's cold voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.“Who is it?”Bethany wore a frown hearing his cold question. However, she felt somehow hearing this. So she swallowed hard and said.“ Mr. Meyer, I am Bethany Quest. I called to inform you that I have just arrived at the Blue Ridge company. I'm waiting downstairs, sir”.Zayn sighed in realization with his hand running through his head, he softened his voice and said.“Alright, please wait for a bit while I arrange for someone to come and get you” Zayn said straightforward and he immediately hung up the phone.Bethany was left speechless, but she could do nothing but put her phone away and wait for further orders fr
“Work?” Joanna squinted her eyes and didn't seem to believe the explanation she had given“You are here to work? is that what you said? why didn't Zayn send you to the human resources department first? why did he ask his special assistant to send you over to my office under his orders? Explain to me in plain detail how you got to know Zayn and don't even try to lie to me if you think of outsmarting me then you have to face the consequences, do you understand me? Wait! are you here to woo your way into his life, don't tell me you are eyeing our wealth”. She asked with doubts visible in her tone as she glared at the woman with hatred that burns like a furnace of fire.Bethany looked at her coldly, raising her brows to discontentedly.“ I don't need to explain the fact that I'm here to work to you on papers, do I, Miss Meyer? it would be great and also save both our time if you could make the arrangements now”.Joanna scoffed angrily, clutching her fists. “That is not an answer to my quest
“Why are you all standing around here and not working.? Just then, an Icy cold voice came out from behind and everyone froze in shock. Werealizing that the voice came from her back, Bethany swiftly turned around to see the man standing there expressionlessly.In the next splitting second, he walked into the warehouse bearing no expression on his face.Seeing how Zayn walked into the place with an expression on, She moved aside slightly and greeted him, “Mr. Meyer”.Zayn acted like he didn't hear the woman greeting him at all as he walked into the center fully without paying attention to her.He simply moved ahead.The crowd instantaneously split into two creating a demarcation in the center to let him through as he walked in.Zayn seriously walked up to Joanna.Joanna looked up at his cold face. she was quite scared from within but she maintained her composure and forced out a smile while asking gently.“Zayn, Why are you here all of a sudden?”.She asked with a stuttering tone while
“That's impossible!” Suddenly there was a loud outburst at that moment, Joanna roared out agitatedly. The voice was unfittingly sharp and there were traces of aggression.“How could you claim that you graduated from West city University? Do you take us for fools?”.Joanna was very emotional and she wasn't willing to believe this fact as she felt that Zayn would feel that she wasn't worthy anymore.She had earlier said that Bethany didn't graduate from a university but then Bethany suddenly came out to say that she had graduated from a top u university like West city? How embarrassing that it is for her!But a second thought, was she trying to make her look like a fool in front of others? why didn't she object to this earlier?.“How can anything be impossible, Miss Meyer?” Bethany causally took out her phone and tapped on the screen a few times, then a picture popped up and moved close to Joanna, before setting the screen in a front of her eyes before saying.“This is my graduation cert
…..That night at Bethany’s mansion.Bethany was scrolling through a file on her laptop when her phone rang.It was a call from Barbara.“Darling, I have gone to pay my rest at the temple along with Vella. We will be back home very soon, don't worry everything is fine and Vella is having a lot of fun” Barbara excitedly explains everything in one goal.Bethany smiled, hearing her words.“Donnie, I hope you had fun visiting the places you wanted. And Vella wanted to see the greenery, hope she enjoyed it” Bethany stopped scrolling and asked with a smile on her face. “Yes, she did but she wanted Jenna to accompany her to see the green water fountain. So, she refuses to visit it without her” Barbara ruffled Vella’s hair and said. She looked at the little girl’s face and smiled.Vella beamed back at her. “Really? I should have sent Jenna along with her but Jenna didn't want to go back yet, she was worried about something but it's been taken care of. When you're back, I'll go along with t
“Don't be faster than your shadows. Zayn is not the type to get distracted by things like that. Let's lay low and strike when least expected” Joanna suggested. She knew his Zayn was like and didn't want things to get messed up. Bent on the other held his phone in his hands while his chest rose and fell at the mention of Bethany. Bethany had managed to capture Zayn’s heart and was a great asset to him, how could she go missing? “Talking of Bethany.That cocky woman humiliated me so much before, why are we even talking about her?” Sapphira was boiling with rage once she saw Bethany’s name. “You are not the only one.Bethany was like a huge thorn in my flesh, she came after me like a rival.I have a very bad feeling about that woman” Daphne cringed her face, thinking of the times Bethany made her life difficult. “Who is this Bethany and why was she after you all?” Dimitri seemed to be the only one who didn't have any encounter with Bethany. “That miserable girl was a menace. Who knew
Hearing his words, Mr.Meyer turned to look at him with seriousness.The expression appeared as though something had been awakened in his mind.“Do you really think so? If that's the case then we don't deserve to call ourselves her family, how could we fail to find her?” He viciously blames himself.“Why are you blaming yourself, old master Meyer? It's not even confirmed that the young mistress is alive yet. On top of that, the situation was too complicated and no one knew the truth.” Mr.Meyer Sr looked ghastly at the dark view of the sea and muttered.“If there's a chance that my dear Giselle is out there somewhere, I'll turn the whole world down to bring her back no matter what”His firm tone and cold expressions were a testament to his serious he was.“What are you planning to do, Master Meyer? What's on your mind?” The Butler asked, seeing his expression.“It's her death anniversary very soon. Wouldn't it be nice if we found her before then? That way we will get to celebrate her bi
Back in the hospital. The smile on Jessica’s face faded as soon as Zayn was gone.After he left, the smile on Jessica's face disappeared and she put on a cold face. The next moment, she pulled open the bedside drawer, took out a document, and opened it. She was a little sad. But soon she thought of something else and slowly touched on these words, revealing a frightening smile. Just then, she heard a soft knock on the door before Jeff walked into the room with his stethoscope in his hands. He carefully examined her and said.“Ms.Ferguson, there is nothing to worry about.If you look after yourself well, you'll be fine” “Dr.Emerson, why isn't Ms.Quest visiting you anymore? Did you two have a lover’s quarrel?” Jessica asked seriously with a pretentious smile. Jeff was caught off-guard. However, the mention of Bethany’s name caused his eyes to turn red with hate. Jessica was quick-witted, she saw his expressions but didn't say a word. “.Ms.Ferguson, Ms.Quest is quite busy that
“Jessie, Ms.Quest had gone on a business trip for a few days, she's not back yet. As soon as she comes back, I'll send her over to accompany you for a while” Jessica was disappointed when she found out about this.At first thing, she thought Bethany was keeping her distance from her after getting into a feud with Danica.She had read online that Bethany and Danica got into a fight after Danica’s show flopped but she didn't expect that things would get this harsh.Danica was the perfect villain and nks that things had gotten to this level, she song hold back anymore.“Is that so? That's alright.Ms.Quest is very kind hearted, she makes me so happy” Jessica said with a warm smile lingering under her eyelids.Zayn was surprised to see how sweetly she talks about Bethany.On Top of that, he noticed that the mention of Bethany’s name lit up a smile on her face.He didn't think too much about it and was glad.“Jessie, I'll arrange with the doctors and get you transferred to the Platinum Villa
“I'm dying, Zayn. I'm dying from everything, there's no reason to continue!” Jessica sounded so weak as if she had given up on life.A few weeks back, Zayn had motivated her to continue living no matter what.However, seeing that he had given up on her, Jessica decided she had no reason to live anymore.“What are you talking about, Jessica? You shouldn't give up so soon. I'm here with you now, I was a little busy and neglected you for a while, I'm so sorry” Zayn was apologetic as he took her hands into his and kissed them.Her thin hand was utterly cold and devoid of life. In the end, Zayn got scared.“You have too much to deal with now. Why would you bother yourself with my responsibility? I don't want to trouble you so don't worry about me”Even though it sounded as though Jessica was being considerate. In reality, she was pushing him to the edge to make him feel bad.Zayn couldn't bring himself to look her in the eyes, he blamed himself for her condition. So, he could only tighten
….In the hospital, Zayn waited at the door of the ward while the doctors attended to Jessica.He was worried sick and couldn't stand still no matter his much he tried.A few days ago, Jessica wanted him to visit her and stay by her side for a while to keep her warm and chase away her loneliness for some time.However, he was too busy and requested to visit her later.If things went wrong and she didn't make it, he would begrudge himself forever. At this time, a nurse came out of the treatment room anxiously and was heading out when Zayn stopped her in her tracks.“Nurse, what's happening to Jessica? She was just fine, right? How come she's critical?” Zayn demanded, feeling suffocated. Frustration was evident on his face as he couldn't help but worry about Jessica.“Mr.Meyer, I have no idea how Ms.Ferguson is faring right now. Her condition suddenly retrogressed and was rushed to the treatment room immediately then I had to call you up since there was no one else” Zayn was riled up
“ENOUGH! Shut the f*ck up, everyone!” After tapping his feet against the floor for umpteen times and they still continued to argue, Bent squealed loudly, causing them to stop brawling and look in his direction. “Do you know what your problem is? You never learn from a mistake. You all are so dumb and fall through without hassle!” Bent yelled, losing his patience at their trifling scuffle.Everyone was stunned by Bent's sudden outburst; no one knew what came over him.In the end, they all glared at him with curiosity and waited for him to say a word.Cone to think of it, Bent had been quiet the entire time and suddenly burst out with anger.“What's wrong with you, Bent? What's with outbursts? Did we do something wrong?!”Sapphira Grand, looked at her son and asked, tilting her head to grasp his expression.“How could you all not realise you are making a mistake right now? Do you not realize who the actual enemy is?” Bent asked, he had a somber seriousness to his tone. At the mentio
Once Zayn left, they turned to look at each other with complicated gazes. “Why would Zayn hurriedly leave in the middle of an important family meal? What was so urgent that he couldn't care less about Grandpa’s health before dashing off? Who knows if Zayn truly cares about Grandpa!”Joanna broke the silence with her rhetorical questions.Even though it sounded as if she was worried about the old man, she was simply trying to ignite the burning flame in his heart.She could vividly remember that Mr.Meyer Sr still held a grudge against Zayn for what happened to Giselle Medina. Joanna stole a glance at Mr.Meyer Sr and saw the vain expression on his face, she smiled hideously. She scoffed before saying.“Maybe, he's really busy today, Zayn’s never left Grandpa alone before especially while he's sick”At this time, everyone noticed the dark aura looming around Mr.Meyer Sr, he was getting offended at Joanna’s remarks but he couldn't say a word since he was telling the truth.Zayn had always
