Sherly know that she had to get on Harriet’s side. It will be hard, but she had to try in order to help her husband. Back when Harriet first arrived in the mansion, Sherly only saw her as a dog who does not deserve to be belong in the family. She hated her even more after noticing that Harriet was harboring feelings with her son. She could not believe that Harriet dared to like someone out of her league. And because of that, Sherly treated her like a lowly dog. She turned blind eye from Madell’s physical abuse to Harriet. And from time to time, she degraded the lady, saying that she has no place in the house. The worst plan that Sherly had is when she tried to poison herself and put the blame on Harriet. But that did not go right. Instead of making Harriet’s life miserable in jail, she turned out to be the daughter of the multi-billionaire Mr. Astell Wyatt. How ironic! The table was turned and now, she had to win her favor! Sherly had to accept this. For days, she thought a lot o
Sherly looked at the outside of the “Elona’s Store.” The building looks like an old-fashioned wedding cake. But when she went inside, it was pretty crazy moderns with alternating laser stunts displayed on the front staircase. The store has many levels and curving staircases with Plexiglas walls, brilliant lighting and lots of white and gold. The overall effect is that of a cross between Dr. Seuss and a futuristic space-age.Sherly looked around the boutique that only carries high-end clothing and accessories. This place has eye-watering prices, that help it maintain its exclusivity. Line includes some of the most beautiful purses, handbags, women’s and men’s clothing and accessories, eyewear, fragrances, jewelry and watches. And all rage in very high price. A simple thong starts at $322. Bras ranged from $45o to $620 when not custom made. But every piece is handmade using the finest silk of Lyon, and Calais lace.She heard that the owner’s specialty is catering exclusively to the very
Early evening, Sorren came back from New York. He sorted out the problem in the Heydiko project. He felt so happy that they avoided huge trouble because of Harriet. If Sorren did not send Harriet to New York as his representative, they probably did not see anything bad with their contract with J&E company. But with the help of his former secretary, it went good. Last night was Harriet’s birthday party. Sorren could not attend because of this emergency. In addition to that, he felt like it was Harriet who gave him a gift, instead of him. Therefore, as soon as he went back, he wanted to meet his favorite grandchild and give his birthday gift for her. While looking at the shoes he bought from New York, Sorren smiled, as mountains smile to see the spring. He was excited to see how Harriet will react once he gave the shoes. Harriet is not the daughter of Astell. She won’t experiencing having difficult times to buy what she wanted. However, Sorren still would like to buy her things sui
Reese went back home to the Wyatt’s mansion. She stuck herself in her room for quite a long time, reminiscing his encounter with the vice president of the Fantell company.‘Will Sir Finn accept my proposal?’ She hopes he will. If Finn agreed on this, then Reese will get Zion.“Before that, I had to put Harriet away,” Reese murmured before she raised her hand and bit on her fingernail.Reese wanted Harriet gone. Because with Harriet’s presence, she will live her life as the heir’s shadow. She won’t inherit Astell’s wealth anyway. Besides, Zion’s heart belongs to Harriet in the first place. And so, the only answer Reese could think of is killing Harriet.While planning how she’ll do this, Reese did not realize how the jealousy and hatred engulfing her soul. She can no longer separate what’s right and wrong, and all she could see is the future she longed for, without considering whether it will hurt the people around her.Once she tasted the greed, it will spread out on her body, like
In the dining table, delicious and well-prepared dishes were served. These are not only for the two miss of the house, but also the special guest who came during this hour.Zion, who came here to visit Reese, actually sat on beside Harriet.Across him, Reese is sitting. She is looking at Zion who’s getting food for Harriet.“This, you like this, right?” Zion asked before he placed the food on Harriet’s plate.Flustered, Harriet looked at the food on her plate, at Zion and the servants who are all watching.The servants all know that Cassius is Harriet’s boyfriend. If Zion will be this close, she’s afraid they might get confused.“Oh? This is your favorite too,” Zion said before he put another food on her plate, as if he’s serving her.“Thank you, Zion,” Harriet said. “But you don’t need to serve me. You are our guest. Please enjoy the food.”“But I miss you.”Clink. Loud clinking sounds resonated as Reese dropped the cutlery she’s holding. Harriet and Zion looked at Reese who looks s
Reese glanced across the table, towards Zion. Zion was watching Reese. Hie eyes were subduing a certain impulse that stirred. A dim flame lit in his gray eyes. Despite being relatively subtle and soundless while he was smiling, the air around him was heavy. The expression he wore was ghastly, and his sharp eyes felt like daggers that would pierce once and root them in place. But as soon as he reached for Harriet’s hand and held it, his gray eyes, which were embers of rage and were sharp as blade, were softened at once. Zion was enduring for Harriet. In his mind, he had the urge to shut Reese mouth who’s supporting Harriet and Cassius. But he breathed calmly. He had no choice but to keep his rage at bay, and to do that, he needs Harriet’s help. That’s why he held her hand. The delicate atmosphere at the dining room was think ice that could be shattered at any moment. Only when they heard Astell’s voice when the intense atmosphere dispersed. Harriet quickly pulled her hand away fr
Reese had to take Zion in her room as he is her guest. Thus, she saw that as chance to proceed on her plan.Inside Reese’s room, which isn’t as large as Harriet, Zion looked around. He does not want to touch anything, as he wanted to finish this acting as soon as possible. Then after visiting Reese, he would go and see Harriet.Reese turned around to see Zion’s nonchalant gaze.She smiled at him and said, “It seems like Zion does not like my room.”Zion raised his brows as she browsed at her. Then, he forged a smile on his lips. “No. It’s fine.”“Really? I feared that I might bore you.”“No. You don’t.”Reese observed him closely. Even when he’s smiling at him right now, there’s nothing in his voice, his eyes, or his expression that says he’s telling the truth.She glanced up and said, “I have a question.”“Yes?”“It’s clear that Zion does not like me.”Zion felt his smile slipped from his eyes, his lips, and fell completely off his face.“But you are trying your best to be with me,”
“I can’t. I don’t want to do that, Zion.” Zion could not response after Harriet said that. He just looked at her with the same expression as before, one without tension. “Before Cassius went here, I promised that I will stay by his side. And I intend to do that until we solved everything.” At once, Zion’s expression hardened. Her gaze stayed on his face, but soon she lowered her eyes and fixated them on the floor. Seconds after, Zion spoke. “It is because of the future you saw in your dream, that’s why you can’t love me again?” Like raindrops trickling down, the voice that said this was chilling. Harriet took her eyes off the ground and shifted her gaze back to the person in front of her. “What did I do? What exactly happened in the past that you decided to stop loving me?” Zion was relaxed at the first glance. But he was unstable. To the point that the composure that he was trying to maintain was being overshadowed. Harriet might not have noticed, but Zion’s other hand ha
