The smile that I've been dying to wipe

JODI's P o V~~~~ I deliberately stopped myself to allow myself to take a deep breath. I was afraid that my emotion will took over my rationality so before anything could even blow out of proportion, I already tried to reign control over myself and stopped myself from speaking another word. As much as I wanted to give my stepmom a piece of my mind, I also did not want to end up hurting her with my words. nThe last thing I would like to happen was to allow my emotions to get the better half of me, because I knew well enough that there was high likely a chance that I would going to regret it after.  At this point, I was trying my very best not to show my real emotion with my face. I sported a straight face as I continued with our conversation. However, when I heard the other party's reply, I almost lost all my control. I froze on my seat as I was left clenching my hands int

'Why' is the question, silence is the answer

JODI's P o V   "But Shantal is not your friend, sweetie, and will never be."   I gasped upon seeing my mom's real nature in plain view. She has never been this honest to me regarding her intention. However, this time around, she made it clear for all eyes to see that never did she intend to make amend with the main family of the Nordstrom clan.   I tried to keep a straight face as I talked to my stepmom. However, the quiver in my voice afterward betrayed my purpose and gave me away.   "But mom----"     It was not my intention to raise my voice against her. But before I knew it, I already blurted out those words and spoke louder than I wanted it to sound. I saw my stepmom widen her eyes in shock when she detected the hint of annoyance in my voice. Meanwhile, when I realized what I have just done, I hurriedly put my hands over my mouth and covered them

By hook or by crook

MATHILDE's P o V ~~~~    At this point, it was already clear for my eyes to see that Jodi was not in my side. But regardless of her stand about this plan of mine, I am  pretty sure that I am still far more determined than she could ever be and I will going to make her changed her mind by hook or by crook! "Well, they say keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." In the meantime, I gave her  a vague answer first. But just like what I initially expected, my answer seemed that it was not enough yet to convince her. "Please mom, let us not lower ourselves and act dirty like this." My face could not help but sport a smug smile when I heard how she described my plan. Her audacity to call it dirty without her knowing that I already thought about this plan through and through. Truth be tol

The point of no return

JODI's P o V   It was as if a pail of ice and cold water was poured over my head when I heard my step mom insinuated about something. There was no longer a need for her to tell that she was trying to threaten me. It was already clear for all ears to hear that she would not mind crossing the line and from the current looks of it, it did not seem that she was bluffing.   At the same time, at this point, I could already tell that wherever this conversation was headed to, it would only lead us at one point and that my friend was the point of no return.   "They classify this as delirium tremens...."   I noticed my stepmom fiddling in her hand bag as if she was trying to fish something inside it and not long after I saw her took out an I pad.   "If I am not mistaken, they consider this phenomena as a mental illness."   "Mom tha-----"   I tried

Pros and Cons

MATHILDE's P o V~~~ "The choice is for you to make." I insinuated with a smirk because I was satisfied by how our conversation was going. From the current looks of it, it seemed that I achieved the effect that I wanted; because judging from Jodi's opinion, I could see the anxiety in her eyes, regardless of how hard she tried to hide it from me. Truth be told, it was not exactly part of my plan to ruin Shantal's name and risked implicating the Nordstorme clan in general, otherwise that would make me the mortal enemy of one of the infamous business tycoon Besides, my main goal was to get Shantal to agree merging my company to hers, so it only goes without saying that the last thing I wanted to happen was for the business to fall in the spiral of decline way before I could even benefit from it and make the most out of our business collaboration.

Fruit of labor

 After her short altercation with her stepmother, if that confrontation could be called and considered as one, in the first place, Jodi decided to visit her cousin in the hospital; just like what she often does, lately. Truth be told, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Jodi had committed herself to check on Shantal at every opportunity possible. In fact, she had been doing it religiously that not a day had passed since the other had fallen sick that she did not come to the hospital to check for any update in Shantal's condition. Just like any of her other visits, Jodi remained seated right beside Shantal's bed, holding the other party's hand; so as not only she was able to keep her cousin a company but also made it sure to keep the other party warm as well, at all times. Jodi was just about to take a nap when all of a sudden she noticed that her cousin was stirring from her sleep. At first, she saw her finger made a twi

Beyond words

JODI's P o V~~~ It only goes without saying that I was disappointed with my stepmom beyond words could tell. For her to expect me to betray Shantal more than I already did was just too much for me to bear. I was no traitor and it was not like I gifted Shantal an Android Partner before with an intent to deceive her, in my mind. It was all just a coincidence and the series of bad choices led me to this fiasco and so I have no intention of repeating the same mistake. If only I could bring back time and change the past...sigh... But I know there was no way for me to change it now; there was no rewind button in life and the damage has been done and since that was the case, I could only hope for a time to come when my cousin could finally forgive me and let bygones be bygones. I spent the afternoon having the same conversation with my step

No different from a fraudster

ALEX's P o V~~~     "Shantal just woke up." When I heard Jodi broke the good news upon us, I felt so much relieved and everyone around me heaved a sigh of relief the same time as I did. Even Harold who had been acting like he was not exactly bothered showed some reaction this time. "Did she ask to see me?" I know I have no right to see her after what I have done nor I am entitled to even request for her audience. I her eyes, I am probably nothing but a fraudster who lied to her face in exchange for some bucks. In fact, I don't even know where I got the guts to ask that question. It must have been my emotion taking the better half of me. I don't think I would ever deserve her forgiveness, more than anyone in this room. "I was not able to meet her. I left as soon as the doctor told me she is okay. As y

Summon

The first thing that Shantal did right after recovering was to make sure to set things into its rightful places and so she called the attention of her secretary as soon as she was capable of handling the matters by herself again. Just that morning of the same day, she finally got discharged from the hospital but only Butler John came to fetch her. At this point, Shantal was already back at the comfort of her house and was staying in her room most of the time to recuperate her health. Meanwhile, Ms. Smith went to see her lady boss as she was summoned by the other party to come and report to her house. But just as when the secretary was about to reach the entrance, she halted her steps and stood outside, right before the door. Before deciding to come in, she deliberately took a mouthful of air first and exhaled loudly, then she reached out to turn the knob and proceeded to open the door. Ms. Smith was welcome by the sight of grandeur that the

Rest day no more

 SMITH's P o V~~~ Today was Sunday and so I was making the most of my limited time enjoying my off. The past few weeks at the office has been kind of stressful to me. It was a bout of a hell week for me. It was one thing if there was Ms. Norstorme's presence to pressure me. But now that she had fallen sick and from what I heard, most likely to be in the state of coma; as her secretary, I was expected to work in her behalf and I was obliged to fill in her workload most of the time. The amount of paper works just kept on piling up  on top of me as if there was an endless stream of them. I was only able to catch a few forty winks at most during workdays and so I believed that I am so close to looking like a zombie. Besides, my mom had been leaving a comment about my face looking so hollow lately, that my eyes were so sunken and my the dark circles
