"Watch what you say. What do you mean by 'unfortunate'?""Isn't it unfortunate for you to treat her like this? Isn't it unfortunate that she doesn't even know her real mother? Isn't it unfortunate for her to see her loved one suffer all because she was born by me?""Maya, you need to—" she tried to move closer."No! Do not step closer to me because from now on, I will treat you exactly the same way you treated her.""Maya, are you crazy right now?""Yes, I am getting crazy. If you can treat your own blood like that, why can't I treat you the same way? And I promise you, if you ever lay a hand on her or Mia again, I will abandon everything. I will tell the world that Bella is my biological daughter and call off this entire charade of an engagement."Mom looked shocked, her eyes wide. "How can you say that to me after everything I've done for you? Do you realize the consequences of your words?""I do, Mother," I said, my voice trembling with emotion. "But I won't stand by and watch you

I woke up with a pounding headache as I held my head with my two hand, groaning. I felt my my head was splitting into two and I could feel my eyes were still puffy from crying too much last night. Lying on the bed while staring at the ceiling, I tried to clear my head maybe it would reduce the pain. Mia entered the room with a tray in her hand, a smile was on her face as she walked closer to me. "Good morning. How are you feeling now?" I gently rose from the bed, stretching my body lazily. Rubbing my temples as I sit up, wrapping the duvet around me. "Well, I think I'm fine now." Mia walked over and handed me a glass of lukewarm water and I gulped it down immediately. It's just as if she was already aware of my pain. Returning the cup to her, I wrapped the duvet around me again, yawning loudly. "I really wanted to thank you for standing up for me and Bella yesterday. It meant a lot to us." I sighed as I remembered what happened yesterday again, but I wondered why she would tha

The car finally pulled up in the front of the company building. I took a deep breath, straightened my dress, and squared my shoulders. I felt the wind catching my hair as I walked toward the entrance while the camera flashes all around me. I could already guessed today's headline; “ Ariel Roderigo first meeting with the Board of Directors” My entire dressing would definitely be sold out. I could assure that but today's meeting outcome, I don't think I know that. I took a deep breath as I stepped into the boardroom. The room was grand, with a long, polished mahogany table dominating the center. Portraits of past CEOs lined the walls, a silent reminders of the legacy I was now a part of. But my eyes stopped at the last portrait, which was of my father's and my grip tightened when I saw that my picture was nowhere to be seen, but I quickly masked my anger with a smile. As I walked toward my seat at the head of the table, the directors glanced my way with their cold and disapproving

After a long day at work, I set off to return home but just as I stepped outside, the rain began to fall heavily. Bryan quickly opened an umbrella, escorting me to the car. I sank into the seat, feeling exhausted after a grueling first day as CEO. I was totally exhausted as I did alot of work today; board meetings, reports, meeting some staff and smiling all throughout and also the strain of reading and signing so many documents. This is definitely not going to be easy like I thought. As the car approached my house, I saw two of them shivering in the pouring rain. They looked pitiful, drenched to the skin and their clothes clinged onto their bodies. They are really desperate, aren't they? Well, we are talking about her golden son and their family breadwinner, so of course they must endure everything but it would have been a nice view if their daughter-in-law had also joined them. We drove past them, splashing through the water to their body, and I felt a pang of something; guilt?

Slowly walking into my room, I shut the door behind me, the sound echoing in the silence. My feet felt heavy as I dragged myself closer to the mirror and I sank into the chair, right in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. Tears streamed down my face, blurring my vision as I remembered everything those two had told me.How could this be? No, they must definitely be lying! Everything they said can’t be true!The door creaked open, and I turned on my seat, backing the mirror, to see who was there. It was Mia. She slowly entered.Seeing her make me broke down completely, I sob uncontrollably.Mia rushed closer to me, lowering herself to my level, and pulled me into a tight embrace. I cried on her shoulder, the pain I was feeling was as fresh as the first time I wept over Lance.

~~ASHLEY~~I adjusted the collar of my blouse, trying to keep my composure as I sat across from Nora Bane who was on the phone, talking with someone. With the bright smile on her face, I could guess she's a close friend of hers. “ Oh you mean that? Of course it is.” As they were talking, Nora suddenly glanced at me, clicking her tongue and then smiled, to which I quickly returned.I was actually called this morning to take on the modeling job for their new project called mEgan3 which they wanted to launch soon.

The elevator doors slid open, bringing me out of my thoughts and I walked out with my head hanging low. Turning to the left side, I suddenly collided headfirst into a broad, solid chest, and I lost my balance, already falling to the ground.I shut my eyes close as my mind raced with the embarrassing image of me sprawling on the floor. But then, a strong arm quickly caught me, pulling me back from the brink of shame.I breathe out in relief, knowing that I had been saved. I slowly opened my eyes to see my savior, only to see deep blue eyes staring back at me.

He's Kingsley Bane and this was the first time I would ever see him this close.
