That night after dinner, Bethany sat by the window in the mansion. She was working on her draft with her lap in front of her. She picked up Zayn's card and took a quick look at it. Then, she scoffed before throwing it to the side. “Zayn, I'm very sure you'd never think that I'll still be alive and kicking, right? Your bad I'm still here”. “Ms.Burnett, Miss Burnett! Have a look at this. it's that annoying and vicious woman! ” The little girl waddled over to Bethany and handed the phone over to her. Bethany lowered her head to take a look at the content on the screen. She noticed that it was a video of her and Danica back at the KFC. Someone had captured this scene and uploaded the video online. Zayn was a very well-known person in Braeton city, so it was only natural that everyone would be interested in whatever happened between him and Danica. Now, Danica's refusal to apologise after she ran into someone in KFC and her arrogant attitude right after was being witnessed by everyo
The next morning, Bethany came down after getting dressed in her exquisite dress. When she came down, Erica was already waiting for her in the living room with another person, whose face was covered with a face mask. “I've made all the arrangements. There is no need for you to worry at all” Erica said as she turned back to look at the person standing by her side. Bethany shot a seemingly glare at the person before she took her face away once more. “I'm heading out to the condo, make sure nothing goes wrong with the auction today” She instructed. “Also, Jenna needs to be admitted to the school when the holidays are over”. “Yes, I understand. Don't worry I'll handle things around here. Do you have to go? It's a holiday today right? You should stay for the rest of the day”. “No, I have to head out” With that, Bethany headed in a hurry since it was almost dawn. …..By 9:am in the morning, a young, beautiful, and elegant lady was seen walking into a fashion boutique in the centre of
After she said that, everyone looked at her with shock written all over their faces. Danica was so angry that she almost ripped the placard into many pieces. ‘Was this woman purposely going against me to make me lose face in front of others? How dare she go against me like this?!’ How would Danica allow something like this? She lifted the placard once again. Everyone thought that Danica would add on a few million dollars. However, she only added a million. The moment she finished saying that, Bethany said nonchalantly,“ 20 million ”. “What!? Wow!”. Everyone exclaimed. Danica could not stand this anymore as she tried to suppress the fire of rage inside of her and glared at Bethany. Then, she forced out an innocent and sweet smile to Bethany. “Miss, were you hired by the other party to come here and deliberately inflate the price? Everyone knows that my fiancé is going to buy this shop for me as my birthday present. Could it be that you enjoy stealing things from others?”“Stea
After coming out of the hall, Danica, who had been looking for Zayn, finally heaved a sigh. “Zayn? Why are you here? The woman....l." Without saying a word. Zayn ignored Danica as he headed home straight. Danica felt very miserable when she was left behind like this. So, she stormed out of the place with her long gown cupped into her hands as she looked around dejectedly. Soon after, her eyes fell on a car parked a few miles away from the hotel. She tottered over in anger. “Why did it take you so long to come to fetch me? Are you tired of your jobb already?"Danica tried to vent her anger at the driver. “I'm so sorry, Miss Danica; it's just that the traffic was a bit jam-packed." Without saying any more words, she got into the car as her expression remained clouded with anger. Who is this lady who dares to berate and humiliate me in front of others? I need to see the face behind that ugly veil!’ Danica thought as she clenched her fists. On the way, Danica contacted her most trus
“I'm waiting outside. I have the video with me as well." Hesper said this to the person on the other end of the line as soon as the phone was connected. “Just wait outside the gate. Someone will pick you up just now." After that, the call was disconnected. Within a twinkle of an eye, a black car soon stopped right in front of Hesper. Without being instructed, Hesler tottered toward the car and got into it immediately. As soon as she got inside, the car sped off, leaving heavy dust behind as it zoomed off in a big hurry. …. Back in the mansion, Danica got fed up after seeing Matilda come back into the house after escorting Vesper to the gate. “Wow, I see that you have become such a good keeper of the helpers. Isn't it ironic that you are so friendly with a maid who dared to raise her brows to me? Are you maybe cooking up some silly plots in your head against me, Aunt? If that's the case, then I wouldn't be so kind as to let you stay in my house if I found out what you were up to,
A car suddenly stopped in front of an old warehouse. It was already dark at night, so the environment could not be seen clearly. Bethany came out of the car. She was dressed in a black dress with a hoodie and a mask covering her face; her fair skin was hidden underneath the black clothes. Jacob came down as well and walked over to meet Bethany, as he wanted her to take the next step. In the next split second, Bethany raised her head to look at the warehouse building in front of her before she started walking. Then, Jacob trailed after her with AirPods fixed in his ears as he waited for any information that might come in. After walking into the building, a man soon appeared from one of the rooms as he sped up to meet up with Bethany. “This way, ma'am, he's in the center hall,” Darin said as he beckoned Bethany to walk in the direction that he was pointing. “What did he say? Did he reveal the identity of the person who sent them already?” Bethany asked with her eyes fixed on the r
Her boyfriend! Danica felt a thorn in her heart. When she met her at the KFC, she remembered she was wearing a ring on her ring finger. Was she engaged? Danica was extremely upset about this because she had spent her entire life attempting to get Zayn's attention, but an unattractive, deformed woman who appeared out of nowhere could. She couldn't accept this fact as it was placed in front of her. She clenched her fists tightly, and her teeth gritted involuntarily. After a while, she stood up and left the cafe in rage. She got back to the house and went straight to her room since Jordan was still staying at the Meyers. However, Zayn was supposed to bring him over later tonight. Upon getting to her room, she dropped her bag on the bed and sat beside it with an aggrieved expression. She was disheartened by the fact that she couldn't find anything tangible about the woman who had dared to double-cross and humiliate her. She took a cigarette from the bedside and lit it up. Soon aft
They sat at the center table at the cafe as they ate their lunch in silence.Zayn didn't bother about the scary glares from all the people around, as he simply buried his head in the conversation he was having with Bethany."I wanted to talk to you about this." Just as Bethany was about to say something, the waiter soon arrived with the bills.She picked up the little piece of paper and pretended to be tense upon seeing the huge amount on the paper.The expression on her face was quickly replaced by a warm smile. Suddenly, Joanna appeared from the other side of the corner of the restaurant.As soon as she was about to enter the cafe, her eyes suddenly fell on the figure of two people sitting across from her at the center table.She recognized them immediately.Upon laying her eyes on them, she quickly dodged aside to avoid being seen. After successfully hiding away, she turned back to confirm if what she saw was real or if she was imagining things.After looking at them for a few seco
…..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
