The surrounding atmosphere seemed to have thickened as Marie struggled to save Hannah from Mike's exploding temper whilst the latter was losing air to breathe!"Ahem! Ahem!" Hannah's face turned ghastly pale while coughing so hard. "M-Mike, p-please let… let go of…of me. I… I can't breathe!""You heard me, Mike!" Marie continued shouting, admitting to her deeds. "I did it! It was me who did it to get rid of her!"Hearing Marie's blatant words, Mike's eyes darkened instantaneously in astonishment! He releases Hannah's neck then faces his fiancee furiously and speaks in a voice full of contempt. "What did you just say?!" He berated her. Haven't I warned you two not to touch her?!""That was her choice and not mine, Mike." Marie replied smugly. "My men were supposed to kidnap her but she chose to kill herself! She probably has a crazy side to do such a good favor for me…""Do you think that was enough to change everything, huh?!" Mike seethed."Of course everything will change, Mike." M
The news about Athena's burial ceremony was all over NY City. Large screens attached in high buildings for commercial purposes are highly paid to broadcast the last several hours of her existence in the arms of her family and friends…While everyone was busy gossipping all over the internet, a certain woman was fighting for her life at the ICU for 24 hours in Zeta City. Face wrapped with thick bandage as well as her entire body with tubes connected all over her vital parts. The sounds of the beeping machines was the only evidence that she was still breathing…If not for the fact that the medical facility belongs to the MONROE'S GROUP, anyone would have thought that her presence in that place was a part of the company's experiment!Outside the special ward stood two people, watching the latter with panic written all over their faces!"Miss Zenith, please don't give up!" Ashley mumbled softly while staring at the wrapped figure laid unconsciously at the hospital bed."This was my fault!
Zenith felt like she was tossed with a bucket of ice, freezing her entire demeanor! She thought that she might have heard him wrong so she tried to confirm it. "What did you just say, old man?""You heard me loud and clear. You're a month pregnant and your condition is sensitive. I can't gamble on a little chance of survival." Mr. Monroe repeated.Zenith thought that she successfully shut everything about Athena and her miserable life after faking her death but after knowing her pregnancy, she seems to have been there once again! She was overwhelmed and didn't know how to accept another life changing news!Everything seems to be getting out of control , especially her previous accident!Zenith sighed in frustration as she demanded, "please leave me alone for a while.""Miss Zenith," Ashley refused to go but Zenith looked at her, silently pleading therefore she was left with no choice but to get out from her ward reluctantly.As Ashley lift, Mr. Monroe began reprimanding her with somet
Zenith closed her eyes, trying to sleep but it's been half an hour passed, she kept on tossing and turning on her hospital bed. A lot of thoughts swarmed on her head making her senses fully awake! Her nemesis was out there celebrating with her death while she was here, lying in a hospital ward, recuperating!Should she just allow them to live freely like a free bird?Should she just allow Hannah to smile radiantly while she was suffering in secret? Should she just sit back and watch everything unfold between her and her husband?Should she just allow Mike to marry her fiance and escape from her vengeance?"No way!" She jolted up from her bed, standing up. "I'm not going to be so generous this time! Not when you almost killed me again!" She said as she looked down at the table, aiming her gaze at the mobile phone left by her godfather earlier.She snatched and opened its screen in one swipe then she scrolled down through the contacts listed on its phonebook.Ashley's mobile number was
Zenith happened to hear her assistant mumbling inaudible words under her breath thus she asked to clarify it but Ashley shook her head in panic."Oh, I didn't say anything, Miss." She defended herself hurriedly and instead she looked out the window, diverting the latter's attention and said, "we're here!"Zenith sensed something unusual in Ashley's behavior but she kept it to herself for the meantime as she believes that sooner, she will eventually spit whatever she was hiding from her. Though she wasn't that really familiar with her assistant's character as they haven't been with each other for so long, she believes that her godfather won't give her someone who doesn't fit her personality. He believes that they could work out everything together and they would succeed in the end so why would she doubt her?She pushed aside that certain thought and replied in a lazy manner, "yeah. We're indeed here."The car stopped just a few steps away from the private jet. Zenith unbuckled her se
Feeling inexplicably baffled, Zenith stared at her wailing assistant with her inquiring eyes as she spoke, "Ashley, can you just stop crying like a baby?! I want words and not sobs for goodness sake!""Mi-Miss," Ashley hiccupped as she went, "...it was my negligence that we appeared late in rescuing you. I… I…""Stop talking nonsense, Ash!" Zenith hissed, looking irritated. "What's there to cry when I am here? Fine and alive? This is enough to prove that you guys always got my back, especially at times like that!"Ashley somehow felt a little better hearing her boss's words as her sobs decreased as well her tears, eventually subsiding. "We pledged loyalty to Mr. Monroe since he took us to work for him, Miss and you're the most important person to him so we were just doing what's right. But we're really sorry for arriving late…""Okay." Zenith sighed and said, "I don't want to hear anymore drama, let's get back to work.""Got it, Miss Zenith." She replied with a smile.Ashley then dive
When Terrence jerked his head just above his shoulder, his eyes darkened! His mood turned sour and his hope defused like a falling balloon, losing its air.! The familiar scent invading his nostrils intensified but it came from the wrong woman who appeared to be none other than Hannah! His wife's nemesis!"Terrence, I've been looking for you." She said as she stepped forward, closer to him, showcasing her entire appearance. He scrunched his nose in utter disgust as he asked, "what are you doing here?""Of course I'm here for you." She mumbled softly as she bent over to kiss him but he tilted his head, dodging from it. Her red lips kissed his cheek instead which left a lip mark on it.His jaws clenched and his facial muscles ticked, feeling extremely pissed as he wiped off the area that landed on her lips. "I didn't know that you're invited. If I had known, I should have picked you up." He mused through his gritted teeth."That's fine, love. I came here with Mike." She replied briefly
The next day…It was around dawn when Zenith was awakened by a churning feeling of her stomach. Without wasting so much time, she jolted up from her deep slumber and ran as fast as she could towards her bathroom. She bent over the toilet bowl and puked all the sumptuous dishes she had eaten the previous night! "Ugh!" She gagged and gagged but there was nothing left but water until she felt the sudden wave of dizziness. Her head spins whilst her body weakens.Zenith slumped her back on the cold wall helplessly for support after throwing up for almost half an hour. Too exhausted to get up, she just wiped her mouth with the sleeves of her nightwear then she closed her eyes to take a brief rest.At that moment, she couldn't help but think of no one else but her husband who was the chief culprit on why she was suffering from morning sickness but apart from that she couldn't help but yearn for his presence as well. Oddly enough, Zenith craved to smell his scent and wished that somehow he w
