The next day_ Bethany came out of her room bearing a gift but she looked rather skeptical about it, then she suddenly to the coffee table and flung the wrap of the gift on it. Just then, Erica came out yawning profusely and kneading her eyes to wipe off the sleep. Upon seeing Bethany sitting on the couch, she asked.“Oh! you're awake already? why are you sitting here in the dark all by yourself?” She asked looking around. Bethany merely pursed her lips as she didn't bother to give her an answer. After a while, Erica simply shrugged her shoulders saying.“Never mind that. what are we having for breakfast, I'm starving do hard” She clutched her stomach tightened as she groaned in pain. Just then, her eyes fell on the gifts on top of the coffee table. She went over and raised it from the table and looked all over. “I see! So, you came prepared this time. huh? why don't you go give her the gifts and wish her a happy birthday first? She asked, swerving around you see Bethany looking pensive
“Arg!!” Danica yelled out as she flung her phone across the room. Then, she ran her hands through her head angrily. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears as she knitted her brows bitterly and clutched her fists tightly. “How dare they reschedule the meeting for the third time? what do they think of themselves?” She asked through her gritted teeth as her tone was filled with resentment. Just as she was lamenting, the door to her bedroom slid open revealing a little figure standing with his soft eyes looking at Danica with hope. “Why the hell are you in my room? who allows you to enter this place without my permission?” She gawked at him with canny hatred. She was about to drag the boy out of her room with force when she suddenly had a glimmer of an idea. She softened her tone as she urged the little boy to get dressed. “Go get your backpack right now. We're going to daddy's house and you'll tell him that you insisted on coming over to his house, do you understand me? ” She yelled with
The next morning, Zayn stopped at the entrance of the Imperial Hotel. He got off the car with a smile as he finished talking on the phone. Just then, his eyes fell on the figure of a little girl standing outside the entrance of the hotel with outstanding temperament coming out of them. When he saw the little girl, his mind was thrown into a daze as he ramped his mind for the identity of the child, then he recalled that he had run into her at the amusing park that day. Upon seeing the child, his mind flickered and suddenly had the surreal to the child. this was a strange feeling he had. Erica was about to take a detour when she saw him, he waved his hands to stop her. Erica wore a grimace as she didn't understand why a strange man would approach her like that. “Excuse me, Mister? What do you want from us?” While she asked the question, Jenna raised her head to see the man standing in front of them in his full glory. She recognized him almost instantly. "Zayn did not reply and crouched
Now, Danica could see this woman face to face. If she hadn't been in contact with Erica frequently in a short time and known her well, Danica would have believed that this woman just looked similar to those home wreckers who came lusting after Zayn years in and year out. Her face fell when she realized that it was Erica Burnett, the woman who she has been begging for an appointment to discuss the dress plan for her fashion runway. Erica had personally given her an appointment at the time, but she didn't show up then and now, Erica had refused to see her again. Seeing the woman standing there, she felt helpless. She decided to put on an act this time. Danica knew that in Zayn's memories, she had never seen Erica, so she acted calmly. When she saw Zayn, she stood up and said softly, "Zayn, what a coincidence."Zayn caught a glimpse of Jordan and Jenna sitting in a row for dessert and said perfunctorily, "Yes." Danica secretly gestured to Jordan. He immediately put down the dessert and ra
In a private room of a hotel. Erica and Bethany had originally thought that ignoring was the best solution, but they didn't expect that Danica would be good at controlling others' psychology and public opinion. Coupled with the phone call from the people to "know the situation", she had to get involved in this matter, so she took a bath, put on light makeup, wore a neat uniform dress, and notified her assistant."A press conference will be held in two hours." zayn also received the news. Seeing that she finally had to reveal her identity, his eyes were sullen."Let's go too." Zayn never wanted to get Erica involved in his matters like this, he was only fond of Jenna and wanted to get to know her better, but he hadn't expected that something like this would come to play. So he felt obliged to take responsibility for her. zayn and the media had waited at the venue for nearly half an hour, but they hadn't seen Erica yet. "President, our people are waiting at the door but hadn't seen Erica'
Back in her condominium, Bethany quickly put a call across to Erica, while standing at the balcony gazing at the stars. Her eyes were fixed on the sky as she waited for Erica to pick up the call. While waiting a smile soon crept into her lips as the events of the past few days have been a great advantage to her mission. Now, all the attention has been turned on Erica, who was supposedly bullied by Danica's actions. Due to all of these, Danica would be so hellbent on carrying out damage control to rectify everything, but with the way things are between Zayn and Danica, Zayn wouldn't bother helping her out at this time. The only person she can choose to turn to for help at this period is only Erica–If she acts good toward Erica, she might help her to clean her name and regain her reputation. Otherwise, she might get thrown out of the fashion industry due to this. Thinking of this, Bethany couldn't stop herself from smiling. The loud ecstatic voice from the other end of the line jerked h
“What But? Are you trying to create a fuss as Jenna did? you should be the one comforting her and not the other way around, Erica” Bethany scolded as soon as she heard Erica objecting.“I know she's going to try and scare you but don't worry about that now”. “I'm not afraid of that shrewd woman, Bethany, don't you even trust me at all? Moreover, I wasn't even going to put up a fuss just now, I just wanted you to consider what Jenna said. I'm sure Jordan must have heard something, he couldn't have just day something out of the blues, right? What's more, he lives with them and he couldn't have just come up with a silly stunt” Erica tried to reason with her while Bethany just listened without uttering a word. After giving it quite a thought, Bethany decided to have the whole situation looked up as she didn't want to risk them getting hurt at all. “It's fine. Don't you worry, no one will be able to do anything to you guys while you're on your trip. So, just leave things to me now. I'll han
Danica strode down from her room and went straight to the kitchen to grab a cup of tea. Just as she got to the living room and was about to find her way toward the kitchen, suddenly a loud, eerie voice spoke from behind. “And look who we have here! The boss lady has finally returned after getting her reputation tainted”. having heard that, Danica turned around in response to these words and look towards the main entrance of the house. With the enormous fountain as the backdrop, a woman about the age of forty years old was standing in front of the door while pulling her purse to her arm. She hid one of her hands behind her back and was staring at her while wearing a big smile. Her smile was so filled with hatred and maliciousness, then she opened her arms to the air and shouted, “surprise!!” Danica was startled and the smile on her face suddenly froze when she saw the woman standing in front of the door. upon realizing what the woman meant, a smile soon broke upon her lips almost immed
…..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
