Chapter 31 - Job interview turns weird

"Go inside and change your dress! What if my dad sees you during the video call?" Becky whispered urgently to Diana, who quickly rushed inside. But before Becky could set up the call, her father’s face filled the screen.“Where am I?” Becky spun the phone camera around the room, her voice was so relaxed.“That looks like a sitting room...” her dad’s voice came out slowing as his eyes kept turning, trying to see the room properly.“If you’re still doubting me, I’ll step outside and show you the house,” Becky countered smoothly, her camera now capturing Diana’s compound. “Honestly, Dad, how do you expect me to split myself in two? The ceremony is still going on.”In the background, her mother’s voice was heard. “Who said they saw Becky working as a waitress at the annual business summit?”Becky winced as her father spoke again, his tone softer. “I’m sorry, Becky. It must’ve been someone who looked like you. But you know I’ve never supported you leaving home. Have you found work yet? Nev

Chapter 32 - Your peace of mind is what matters

“Helen, what is wrong with you? You’ve been so distant, acting as if something went wrong since you returned from the annual summit.” Zara said and there was silence. She stood by the bed, staring intently at Helen, who sat with her head bowed to the floor.It was the morning after the business summit, and Zara had been waiting for an explanation. Helen sighed deeply, avoiding her friend’s gaze.“I’m waiting, Helen,” Zara pressed, her tone more demanding this time.“For what?” Helen’s lips curled into a faint, humorless smile. “For me to tell you I changed my mind and followed Mr. Alexander instead of Adams? That’s not news, Zara. I know exactly what I’m doing.” She finally raised her head, meeting Zara’s eyes. “Both of them serve a purpose. My leg is in Alexander’s camp, and the other is with Adams. Both paths lead to what I want—to be either the vice CEO of AZ Corporation or the wife of whoever becomes the next CEO.”“Helen…” Zara clapped her hands in a way that showed she needs to

Chapter 33- Becky rejected an offer

Becky’s mind filled with questions as the security man called out to her. “The big boss upstairs wants to see you,” he announced to the hearing of everyone.Her heart raced. “What could this be about? Am I in trouble? Did I break a company policy by arguing with their staff in the building? Why does he want to see me?”She was lost in thought until Diana’s voice jolted her back to reality.“I’ll be waiting for you outside. Please, don’t speak arrogantly to the overall boss,” Diana cautioned.Diana knew Becky well. Normally, she was calm and avoided confrontation, but today had been different. Becky’s words had been uncharacteristic—a response to the injustice her friend had faced.All eyes followed Becky as she approached the waiting security guard. Though Michelle felt embarrassed by Becky's action, her real triumph was the firing of Diana. With her fiancé’s help, she succeeded in having her permanently removed from the company.As Becky passed, Michelle turned to the other staff, “

Chapter 34 - Your dad is dying.

Becky wished the floor would open and swallow her as she opened the door. Her heart pounded until she realized the man standing before her was a stranger. She let out a relieved sigh. She still suspected that Mr. Amos Wright must have sent someone, remembering his words when she was in her office: "I don’t take ‘no’ for an answer." She was sure that men like him were relentless, the type who wouldn’t stop until they got what they wanted. As these thoughts filled her mind, the man before her said something that unexpectedly put her at ease.“Where is Diana?” the man asked. He was short, wearing a striped shirt, with a noticeable scar on the side of his head, and pleasant fragrance emanating from him. Becky, gripping the door, turned slightly toward the sitting room, her entire body blocking the entrance.“Someone’s looking for you,” Becky called.Diana rose from her chair, the TV remote in hand, and walked toward the door.“Good evening, sir,” Diana greeted with a tone of familiarity.

Chapter 35 - House Arrest

“If I had known, I would have told Diana to follow me here. To see for herself, what was happening.”This was Becky’s greatest regret as she stepped into her father’s house after a long day trip. Leaving Diana’s house, she had rushed to grab a cab straight to the airport, carrying only a small black bag. The manner of her departure had been hurried and undetectable. Becky’s mother had never pulled a stunt like this before. Even her envious sister, Manni, was now by her father’s side. Becky wondered if Manni loved the theatrics of the situation or simply relished the opportunity to be in the center of attention. Had they been on better terms, Manni might have tipped her off about the truth.“Why was I so confident that nothing like this would ever happen to me?” Becky thought, a bitter taste forming in her mouth. Her flight had been paid for, and a special cab was waiting for her at the airport in her parents’ city.“Which hospital?” Becky asked the moment she slid into the car as she

Chapter 36- No evidence, no leaving

Becky emptied her bag onto the bed, the contents spilling out in a scattered mess. Her hands sifted through the pile with increasing urgency.“Where is it?” she muttered, her voice full of frustration. No matter how thoroughly she searched, the object she sought wasn’t there. With a deep sigh, she reached for her phone, intending to call Diana. Her finger hovered over the dial button, but she hesitated and ended the call before it could connect.“How will I even explain this to Diana if she asks?” she whispered to herself, anxiety rising up in her chest.She glanced at the clock—it was already 7 p.m. Before she could think further, a knock on her door startled her.“Becky, open up. Dinner is ready,” her mother called gently from the other side.“I’m not hungry,” Becky replied at once, with a feeling of anger.“Please, open the door,” her mother said again, knocking lightly.“Please, just leave me alone,” Becky said again.After a pause, she heard her mother’s footsteps retreating. “If

Chapter 37- Only the address is correct

It was early morning, and Mr. Alexander sat in the back seat of his car alongside his personal assistant, Mr. Tom. The car was halfway to the office when Tom broke the silence.“Sir, Mrs. Darlington has sent the address you requested.”Alexander said nothing in return. A few minutes ago, they had been speaking freely, but at the mention of the address, Alexander had withdrawn into himself. Tom, knowing his boss well, immediately refrained from saying more.The silence lingered until Alexander unexpectedly broke it.“I need a bunch of white roses,” he said coldly.Tom signaled the driver, prompting a change in direction. Moments later, the car pulled up to a small grocery store. Tom, dressed in his black suit, stepped out and hurried inside. It didn’t take long before he emerged with a carefully selected bunch of white roses.“Here they are, sir,” Tom said as he climbed back into the car.“Take me to the cemetery where my wife is buried.”Tom’s eyes briefly widened in surprise. It was

Chapter 38 - I left with good impression

It was unimaginable! No one had expected it. Becky herself could hardly believe it. The appearance of such a staggering amount of money left her stunned. Her heart raced as she tapped the screen of her phone, rechecking to ensure she wasn’t dreaming. In her shock, the phone slipped from her hands and clattered to the floor. She quickly picked it up and turned to her father.“Dad, look at this,” she said, struggling to keep her voice calm, not to be overly excited over her own money. “This is the starting fund for my investment.”Her father frowned as he took the phone, squinting at the screen. “You have this much, and you never told us?”“How much is it?” her mother asked, noticing the disbelief on her husband’s face.“A whopping five hundred million dollars,” he muttered, his voice low but trembling with shock.“Are you sure? Or do you mean fifty million?” Manni, Becky’s younger sister, interrupted with a sarcastic edge.“No,” he replied, turning the phone toward her. “It’s five hund

Chapter 39 - Finally opened up

Becky was about to step out of the car when Diana grabbed her hand, pulling her back with urgency."Do you know what you're about to do?" Diana asked, as she acted like a friend who cares. "What kind of money do you even have to be coming here?"Becky turned to face her friend, her expression was firm, and then there were racing and conflicting thoughts in her mind."Becky," Diana pressed, "you don’t have this kind of money. And even if you did, shouldn’t you invest it or use it for something more meaningful? Look at me—I’m jobless, for heaven’s sake!"Becky exhaled deeply, trying to maintain her composure. "How many times do I have to tell you? I have a job for you. Just trust me, Diana. Let’s go inside, have a few glasses of wine, and then we can talk properly."Diana raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a mocking smirk. "Since when did you start living like some fancy lady of leisure?"Becky hesitated, unsure whether to reveal everything or keep parts of her story hidden. Her g

Chapter 40 - In the same hotel

While driving back, Alexander sat silently in the car, his expression distant and heavy with emotion. Arthur, seated beside him, could sense the weight of Alexander’s mood, which seemed to dictate the atmosphere in the car.“Being so sad won’t do him any good, it will only worsen his situation.” Arthur thought to himself, searching for a way to break the silence. Before he could find the right words, Alexander spoke.“Will watching those video clips your men collected help with anything?” he asked abruptly.Arthur hesitated before replying. Turning to face Alexander, he carefully considered his words, mindful of how fragile Alexander had become during this difficult time of always thinking of his late wife.“As I said earlier, she’s gone. There’s no bringing her back. If you’re talking about meeting someone new, another wonderful lady, that’s possible. I would go to any lengths to find someone for you,” Arthur said gently.“I’m not interested in other women,” Alexander replied coldly.
