Talisa watched how the scene unfold in front of her, how Isabella had smashed the flower pot on her head, resulting her being in immense pain, how she was loosing a lot of blood and slowly loosing consciousness.
She woke up with a start, breathing heavily as her hand held unto her throbbing head. "It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. I'm alright" She chanted as she tried calming her raging heart.She finally took a deep breath after her mind had finally settled, then she slowly got out of bed. It was about time she prepared for the day.
She took a cold shower since she could feel her body still shaking from her dream, well it was a reality at some point. It seemed that scene will always hunt her no matter what and that's a reminder not to let the cheating couple go at all cost.'Knock Knock'
Talisa was making herself up when she heard the knock. Her gaze shifted to the door, she guessed it must be Anna so she told her to come in. And she was right as the girl already poke out her head from behind the door. She seemed really happy this morning "Good morning Madam, I trust you had a lovely night" Talisa returned the favour "Sure and you?" "It's same for me too. I've prepared your breakfast, should I bring it here or you'll have it in the dining room?" She asked because it seemed her Madam was avoiding the Master and might not want to eat with him.Talisa smiled as she already understood why Anna asked "Don't bother, I'll have it in the dining room"
Anna bowed then left the room in order to carry out her other duties. Talisa's outfit that day was formal as she was going to the company and personally witness the interview of the applicants who wants to work as the secretary of the Company's Vice president. She wasn't there in her previous life as Steve had convinced her not to go to work yet since they had just gotten married. Then, she didn't reason the fact that he was allowed to go and not her, she had always been a yes woman to him."I'm sure those cheating bastards cheated at the interview. Well it's in their genes to cheat"
She took a black purse to match her red and black attire and went out of the room. She slowly descended the stairs but stopped when she heard Steve's voice.
"Is your Madam still asleep?" he asked Anna who immediately stopped what she was doing in order to reply him. "No, she's awake and preparing to go to work""Work? Which work is she planning to go to?" He asked but it was more to himself than Anna.
Talisa smirked as she already knew he was going to be on about how she should stay home and blah blah blah..."So what's wrong with me going back to work? You are allowed to go and I'm not?" She replied him instead.Steve turned to her and was surprised to see she was even all dressed up.
"Lisa, you know I'm saying this for your own good. You should take a rest for a few days before resuming work" The few days would eventually turn years and until she died she didn't return to work."Thanks for the care but I'm going back to work today. I have something important to do" She replied as she took her sit opposite him and Anna immediately rushed over with her breakfast.
Steve stared at her with a mixed feeling, he knew something about her changed and he couldn't wait to find out what had happened.
Talisa didn't even bother sparing him a glance until she finished her breakfast and got up. "I'll see you at work" She grabbed her purse and immediately walked out. Steve watched her until even her silhouette wasn't seen. *** Talisa hummed "I'm happy" as she drove to the company. She was feeling excited by the whole rebirth thing that she didn't even seem bother but looking forward to how things will unfold. She felt her cellphone vibrate and immediately she connected it to the Car's speaker and picked up without even looking at the caller."Hello"
"Hello? are you kidding me right now?" Talisa heard the familiar annoyed voice of her best friend, well ex best friend in her previous life because they broke up already, Steve's doing. "Lyn!" She was pleasantly surprised and happy to hear her friend's voice though. The lady had been cold to her after their broke up as though she never knew her.Adalyn was having her breakfast when she decided to call her best friend who hadn't even called her since she had gotten married.
"Why were you so surprised to hear my voice? Don't tell me you are one of those married women who abandon their friends because of their husband?" Talisa giggles "No, I was surprised because I didn't check the caller. How are you doing? I'm really sorry for not calling you at all yesterday, I was going through some shit that I had actually forgotten I was supposed to call" She apologized even though she had lots of things to apologize for though."You just got married and you are already going through shits, don't tell me Steve did something to you?"
Talisa realized she was almost at the company and needed to hang up "Lyn, I need to hang up now. Let's meet when you are free"Adalyn dropped the fork she was eating with and replied excitedly "I'm free now, shall we meet?" It seemed like she was too curious to know what had happened than eating. Talisa smiled "I'm sorry girlfriend, but not this morning, i have things to take care of In the company"
"Oh! I've forgotten not everyone is like me who does nothing all day. Okay sure, see you at night then"
"Okay" Talisa hung up and at the same moment stopped the car as she had gotten to the entrance. She took her purse and alighted the car. The employees were already there like they had been waiting to welcome her."Congratulations on your wedding, President Thurnwald" She almost corrected them for changing her last name but decided against it. It wouldn't be long anyway.
"Thanks for the greetings" She walked past them and into the building in order to go to her office.She took the exclusive elevator meant for only the President and the Vice and went straight for her office. She met her personal assistant waiting outside her office.
"Tiana, why are you standing here?" She asked confused.The lady named Tiana bowed to her boss "I was already informed of your arrival by the other secretaries so I was waiting until you came up""You have something for me?" Talisa asked curiously. In her previous life, she hadn't come to the office and Tiana hadn't contacted her either which was obviously Steve's doing. He didn't want her to have anything doing with the company. He even Fired Tiana after making some excuses that she was misusing her authority so he had her fired. Of course that was a lie she had already knew since her past life but there was nothing she could do then as she was totally powerless.
"Did something happen while I was away?" She asked as she opened the door to her office, leaving Tiana to follow behind.
"The Vice president told me yesterday that you wouldn't be resuming work when I asked of you yesterday. But I kept it just in case you came today. I already decided I was going to give it to him so he could pass it to you if you were absent today too" Tiana explained.Talisa grew curious the more Tiana spoke "What is it?"
She didn't receive anything from Steve in her previous life at all, who knows what he did to whatever Tiana had given him. Tiana brought out a box which was neatly wrapped up in a fancy wrap "President Keyvan had it delivered through his personal assistant. He said his boss gave it to you as your wedding gift" She placed the box on the table."Regan?" She was surprised.Talisa looked at the box suspiciously. Regan wasn't nice enough to give her a wedding gift so she wondered what it was. Hopefully it wouldn't be a bomb. But then again, Regan could be annoying but he had never hurt her so she figured he was more trustworthy than Steve. Very Very infact. She tore off the wrap around the box and saw the white box underneath. She opened it and saw an Anti aging serum which made her eyes narrow. A piece of paper was attached to it which she took and read: "I noticed you were looking older when I watched your wedding video, you are getting older that I'm scared you'll die before me
Christian thought he was hearing things when he heard what she had said. "Do you mean it?" He tried confirming, seeming not to believe he got in just like that. Talisa nodded with a smile "Sure, you can start tomorrow"Christian immediately got up "Thank you ma'am, I'm really grateful. I'll work hard in helping FW grow in the future" He bursted with happiness as he went out, almost crashing into the door.Talisa sent a smirk in Steve's way "Who is up next?" she asked."Are we taking more than a secretary?" Stella asked in confusion. She assumed since the secretary had been chosen the interview was over." No no, He needs personal assistant too. You know the Vice president has so much work to do and he needs a personal assistant for it" Stella nodded as she understood what Talisa was talking about. Even though there was the president who is the brain behind everything in the company, the vice is the one who provides man power and mostly handle things in public."Send the next person
"Mom, nothing you do will work" He told her softly and then continued going through the files in his hand. "My dearest son, the one I love most in the world, don't be like this, okay?" She massaged his shoulders carefully. "That's a lie, you love your husband most, if not, you wouldn't be here" He shrugged her hands off his shoulder as he continued ignoring her. Madam Keyvan pouted as she looked at Alonzo who was quietly watching both of them from the side "How come your boss is so cold to even his mother? No wonder he's still single" She moved away from behind him and walked up to the couch in front of him. She took her sit and turn to him. "Darling, you know your Father has your best interest at heart. Why won't you take over his company? You can even merge it with yours, uhn?" She gave him a puppy eye when she saw he was now looking at her. Regan only had a bored look on, the storyline was getting boring now. "Mom, You and Dad should adopt a child to take over his company or
Steve was packing his bags in order to close up for the day when his cellphone rang. He stopped what he was doing and glanced at his phone screen. He sighed when he saw who it was but didn't waste time in answering it. "What was that earlier? Didn't you say she wouldn't be at work today?" Isabella questioned the moment he picked up. Steve glanced around and when he realised no one would hear him, he whispered back "How was I to know she'll insist on coming or even come supervise the interview herself? And again what's with the blaming tone, you got in regardless, isn't it?" Isabella sighed as she tried calming herself "That was wrong of me, I was just so angry on seeing her annoying face earlier. Her face makes me sick" She had always hated Talisa and was ready to do anything to destroy her. "That's enough, I'm still at the company. When I get home I'll talk to you" "Wouldn't she be there with you? How are we going to talk?" Isabella asked since she didn't know about Talisa's ro
Regan had entered the restaurant to have his dinner after escaping a busy day at work. He always had his meal at the restaurant when he didn't feel like cooking and today was one of the days he didn't feel like cooking. He then came across the three girls the moment he entered. Of course, he recognised them as Adalyn's high school enemies as they had caused lots of dramas then. They didn't seem to noticed him as they were deeply into their conversation and that was when he heard Talisa and Adalyn were inside. He decided to go take a look but was surprised to see a shaken Adalyn and a dazed Talisa. He was so bedazzled when he heard Adalyn say Talisa was tearing up non stop.His forehead furrowed when he heard that. It was also a surprise to him especially after seeing it himself. The Talisa he knew never showed emotions, not crying especially. She was the kind to act cool even when she was supposed to be scared."Tally, are you okay?" He asked Tentatively but none of them expected he
"How about we have a match? You all against me" "What! Regan, don't be too confident in yourself. If the four of us gang up against you, do you think you'll win?" Sebastian, who had been quiet decided to join in. Regan smirked "You've never been able to beat me, what makes you think you'll win now?" "Over confident bastard, you'll be surprised to find yourself beaten to a pulp, I bet you" Matthew replied him as he also grabbed a keyboard. "Don't come crying when you can handle it no more" Carlos said as he also grabbed a keyboard. Regan cracked his fingers then placed them on the keyboard "Let's see who will cry after the game, no?" "Let's begin" And they did. It was a combat game were you level up after beating up someone stronger than you until you become invincible enough to start killing high leveled Monsters. You can't start killing monsters without being in an high level. The five heirs of the top five families in the country actually were involved in the creation of th
Talisa slowly opened her eyes and looked around the unfamiliar room, wondering where she was. Her gaze moved to the IV connected to her hand, which made her realise where she was.'How did I get here?' She questioned herself as she had no memory of coming here at all. Her memory was hazy and she could only remember she was at the restaurant with Adalyn and those group of girls came to provoke them and that was the end of her memory.The door to her ward opened and she was surprised to see Adalyn walking in. Adalyn had went to get breakfast for both of them, she wasn't expecting Talisa to have woken up by now. Nevertheless, she was happy to see her friend awake."Thank God you are finally awake, I was getting worried already" She sat beside her and held her hand.Talisa opened her parched lips to speak to her but her throat was dry. Adalyn quickly passed her a cup of water. "Why am i here? What happened?" She asked after drinking the full cup and making sure her throat wasn't dey anym
Tiana decided to indeed stop looking at her that way because it wasn't polite."Was the Vice President in the company when you left?" Talisa asked in the midst of her work. The bástard was always punctual to work, regardless of whatever happens and so she was sure he must be at work by now. She only wanted to confirm.Tiana nodded "Yes but I'm not sure he's aware I left the company. He was with his new personal assistant when I saw him..." She then stopped and looked at Talisa."But Boss, are the VP and his new personal assistant close? They seemed to be getting along well for her first day at work. She even seemed pretty comfortable around him" She had been so surprised to see their Vice president who hardly gets along with people, being close to his new personal assistant that she couldn't contain her curiosity.Talisa raised up her head with a smirk. Of course they knew one another too well, even. Those pair of cheating couples couldn't even hide their affection from others. "Yes, s
