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
“What should I do, mom? I'm tired of being sidelined all because of Danica How can make I change?” Brenda asked in a cold voice with her eyes fixed in a direction. Upon hearing what Brenda said, a smile soon crept onto Matilda's face as she was glad that her daughter was finally something up for herself. She has tried generally to make her husband, Freddie, see reasons why he needed to fight for his right as the second son of the family, but he was always staying in the shadows of his older brother and refused to heed to her words. At the end of the day, he amounted to nothing other than being a shadow boy for his brother. Seeing that her daughter has refused to follow the same route as her husband did, Matilda couldn't help but allow the joy in her heart to reflect on her face as she couldn't stop smiling. Brenda was taken aback when she didn't get a reply to her question, then she looked down to see her mother lost in her world right then. “Mom, I'm still waiting for answers. What sh
Danica walked for a couple of minutes while looking back at intervals. It seems like she was having a feeling that someone was following her around, so she hastened her steps as she didn't want to take any chances at all. Although it wasn't wrong for her to come to this place as wrong of her to come here sneakily like this if anyone sees her this way, then she might have to kiss the remaining piece of her hope of recovering her reputation goodbye. She hopped around and finally arrived at her destination as she suddenly stopped in front of a cemetery filled with different sizes of enacted tombstones and epitaphs written on each tombstone. Danica dodged other stones until she came face to the face with the one she had been eagerly waiting to see and have walked all the way to look for. “In loving memory of our beloved Giselle Clarion Meyer” These words were sculpted on the stone that she had stopped in front of. Seeing this write-up Danica couldn't help but clutch her fists tightly and
In the early morning hour of the day, Bethany was awakened by a loud dining sound from her phone. She forced herself to sit upon the bed before kneading her eyes to get rid of the sleep in her eyes. After that, she picked up her phone from the side of the bed and glanced at the screen as a look of recognition crept onto her face. She quickly pick up the call before it came to an end. “Hey, sleepyhead! Are you still sleeping? Did I wake you up? ” A loud, high-pitched voice of a young woman soon rang out through the phone as soon as she pressed the receiver button. “Why have you called me so early, Erica? Did you guys arrive safely?” Bethany asked, standing up from the bed and walking over to the window. “Oh dear, our flight was delayed for four hours and we spent the entire time sleeping at the airport. So, we just arrived at the hotel after a ten-hour flight. I'm so tired after the long hours of the journey. I'm just going to take a nap, We'll talk later, okay?” “Wait! How's my daught
“I'll call you right back, Erica.”Bethany suddenly interrupted her. immediately after that, she put the call on his as age proceed to answer the other call. “Are you very sure about this? Alright, thanks a lot” Bethany said as she ended the call. When she had finished her conversation with the caller, she quickly tap the call from Erica and it soon resumed running. As Erica's loud voice rang out, “What is so important that you put me on hold for over an hour, Bethany ?” Erica asked sounding as though she was angry. Hearing this, Bethany didn't bother giving her an answer as she proceeded to drop the bombshell. “Your target is soon to be on her way to the Maldives,” She said in an icy tone as her eyes lit up with anger. “What?” Erica exclaimed. she couldn't believe it when she heard what Bethany said“What the hell is she up to, Bethany? Why would she come searching for me at the Maldives?”. “What do you not understand about all of these, She's so desperate to win the show and that would
Early in the morning the next day_ Erica was woken by a loud bang from the door as the bathroom door was slid open and slammed back heavily. She jerked up from her deep slumber and sat up straight as she looked in the direction of the noise, then her eyes fell on the little girl standing in front of the door with a towel draped around her chest. Erica was still so sleepy that she couldn't see her face very face, she kneaded her eyes to get rid of the sleep but it was too much of a hassle as it wasn't working. However, she managed to ask in her sleepy voice.“Why are you up so early, Jenna? What are you doing standing there? Why aren't you feeling sleepy?” She asked as she made to lay back on the bed. “I'm not sleepy anymore, Godmother. I'm getting ready for our time out later, so I got myself ready first.” Jenna replied as she went over to the cabinet to grab her clothes. “What? Time out? what are you even talking about Jenna? What time is it? ” She asked as she grabbed her wristwatch
Hayden replied: “OK.” As she sent the message, she turned around and went downstairs. While she was turning around, she just missed that in the cafe downstairs, a young man with a dashing body was revealed. Danica walked back into the room, just then she noticed that the child was still sleeping at the time–she looked at the watch and pouted. It was already past seven, and the child was still sleeping. she felt like ripping him apart at once. Just then, she remembered that the little boy was her triumph card for the game and she also realized that, he didn't have enough sleep during the flight so she let him rest for a while. After all, she needs him to be energetic by the time, they go out for a fun time. “Uhm, Miss Danica. You should watch over little Jordan, while I go get the breakfast from the cafeteria downstairs, you can also call the home service to get your room ready while I prepare the other things” Jane said before stepping out to get the food. Surprisingly, Danica didn't
“She's your new nanny” Erica finally let out the bubble upon seeing how upset Jenna was. Jenna stood speechlessly when she heard what Erica said–She was stunned as she had never expected that a nanny would arrange for her at such an age. “My nanny?” She asked and Erica nodded. “Since when did I need a nanny, Miss Burnett? Who asked you to get me a nanny as it is? ” Jenna was so upset by this matter that she shrieked at the top of her voice. “Wait baby, I know you don't need a nanny but.......” She winked at her discreetly. Jenna quickly picked up the sign and folded her arms around her chest in an adult-like manner as she sulked. The nanny was arranged and sent by Bethany, so if she were to reject and send the young woman back without reason. Then, it would raise a lot of questions. Moreover, Erica would soon get busy with meetings with Danica, so there should be someone to take care of Jenna when she goes out. Erica smiled as she moved close to the young lady and said in a gentle voi
…..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
