Gwen happily sat facing Zach who arranged his suit after sitting down. She last saw Harden when she was seventeen and that was when his mother invited her over for dinner warning her to stay away from her son. She felt heartbroken but also understood after his mother explained to her why Harden did not need a woman in his life. She left to never look back but every day, she hoped he would come looking for her, anytime she saw him on TV, the love they once shared had a renewing day. Even after hearing he had a secret marriage with one of New York's popular models, she cried but still felt one day Harden McCall the guy they both had a high school love would come back to her. She smiles still looking at Zach as deep down she prays this is a welcome to the McCall. “My madam wants you for dinner this evening, it’s very important, Note that you might not be coming back anytime soon.” He said for Gwen to look at him. “What’s with the dinner and me not coming back?” She asks for Zach
The gym was filled with awkward expressions from the men around while they looked at laughing Harden. Harden laughed so hard that tears began to fall from his eyes, Aiden knows this is no laughter but a disguise for tears because of the betrayal from his assistant. After a few minutes, Harden stopped and fell into silence before he scoffed. “You are suspended, you know too much to be fired,” he said for Simon to immediately begin to plead. “I’m sorry boss, I only followed the chairwoman inst… “Is my mother your Employee? Was she the one who taught you your job? Was she the one you swore your loyalty to?” Harden asked squeezing the papers in his palm. “Get the fuck out, seeing you irritates me, Simon,” he said for Simon to bow his head. “I’m sorry boss,” he said for Harden to chew his jaw. Simon kept kneeling with his head down. “Leave Simon, once your suspension is over he will let you know,” Aiden said for Simon to sigh. “Yes sir,” he said standing up.“Before you f
Harden watched as Adele removed the mask, he kept his eyes on her until she took it off and she held it arranging her coil red hair and letting them bounced back. Her pale skin and green eyes made Harden swallow hard. When she took off the mask for the first time, he didn’t stare but now, he could not help it as he swallowed hard at the beautiful woman standing in his front. Adele was shy to look at Harden so she kept her head down. He could see where his daughter's pale skin and red hair came from, he bowed his head sighing. “I’m sorry you have to be away from them and when you want to get close, I’m sorry you have to use that,” he said for Adele to gasp. “No sir, I…. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t look for you myself.” He said riding himself to his table and opening the drawer bringing out a file. He opens it and hands it over to Adele with a pen. “Sign at the place you see your name.” He said to surprise Adele to look at him. “ you can go through it if you want, but tr
The morning was bright and it was Monday, little Zia heard a whisper-like voice which made her open her eyes. “Honey” Adele's gentle voice called trying to wake her daughter up for school. The little girl sat up yawning before she looked at Adele. “Are you my mommy?” She asked for Adele to nod smiling. “I’m sorry honey, I couldn’t come for… “Why?” She asked looking at Adele. “I have been living with the thought that my mama is dead. I watched other children in school hug their mama and even on parents' day, dad couldn’t come only grandma and Nana. Why did you stay away?” The girl asks for Adele to tear up. “I really want to be there Zee, I swear. I….” Adele can’t spoil Maria for the kids, she feels if she told them Maria was the reason they were apart, they would direct the hate to her and it would be risky for her and the children. “You swear what? you don’t like dad?” She asks for Adele to smile. “I like your daddy, Zia, I was scared and naive when you both were bo
Lisa was devastated, her eyes were red, she left the mansion and asked the driver to take her to Harden mansion. Apart from the hate and everything, she genuinely loves Harden but he’s the one pushing her away, she has tried her best to let him know she loves him but he doesn’t give her the attention talk more to listen and now she has to compete with his high school lover who has a higher probability of being accepted not just by Harden but also his kids and mother. She cleaned her eyes and kept rubbing her stomach wishing she didn’t remove the child earlier. Lisa was so angry and she began to develop hatred she had tried to suppress earlier. “ stupid family,” she said removing the ring on her finger. The car drove into the mansion, immediately the guards saw it was Lisa they rushed towards her and stopped her from going into the mansion. “ how dare you ask me to go back” Lisa furiously said as she tried to walk towards the mansion entrance. “Please let the madam in” Butle
It was evening already, The kids came back from school, and Felony helped do the chores Adele promised. It’s about dinner time but yet she’s not back and this got Harden furious and worried. At that moment he realized he hadn’t prepared a phone for her. He sighed knowing only one person he could ask to search for her but he was on suspension. “Daddy, where is Mom?” Zia asks for Harden to smile. “She went out but will be back soon,” he said. “That’s what you said earlier Daddy, it’s almost two hours,” Zayn said for Harden to sigh. He carried his desk phone and called his butler. “Prepare the kid's Dinner first,” he said and hung up. “Go have your dinner so you can retire to bed early,” He said for Zia and Zayn to nod and leave the study. Harden sighed as he had no choice but to call Simon. Inside the retirement home, where Simon applied for volunteer job during his suspension, he just finished helping to clean up and was ready to go home when his boss's number came to v
Maria had an expressionless face after her son declared the woman she paid to stay away for the rest of her life from her family his wife. “Mrs Adele McCall” Maria repeated with a scoff. “I paid you to stay away from my family slut” she said for Adele's palm to keep sweating. “Mom with all due respect, you will respect my wife,” He said for Maria to bite her lips. “Harden, I rather die than accept her as your wife, the mother of your twins is dead Harden, she’s an imposter,” Maria said for Harden to frown. “Mom, I didn’t say she’s the mother of my twins. How come you assume she is or is she?”He asked for Maria to scoff.“Zia told me their mother is back and not dead. She’s an imposter” Maria furiously said.“I have respected you enough, don’t push me,” he said coldly for Maria to tear up. “It’s a week to your dismissal, it’s time you take Lisa close so you can have her support but instead you decided to go out there and look for this lowlife slut who force her way with you
At a restaurant on the elite side of the city, the red-haired lady who just round up with her evening shift removed her apron while still on her uniform. She hung the apron on the staff hanger when her little phone began to ring.“ Gracie” she called to hear the worried voice of her friend speak at the other end of the phone.“Adele, I need you, I don’t know what I did to my client. Please you should come to the hotel, don’t call the cops…..“ calm down Grace, what happened and tell me the name of your hotel.” Adele immediately carried a paper to write it t down.“Western Hotel Room 2……..8,” Grace said as the signal began to break.“Room 2 what Gracie, I can’t hear you” Adele worriedly said as she tried to correct the number of the room.“ 2….8” The phone bumps for Adele to sigh.“Goodness,” she worriedly said as she didn’t know if it was 28 or 208. She knows it’s two, a middle number before eight but she doesn’t know which exactly so she decided to go with room 208.“ Mary, I’m out,”
