Breakfast in the Rossenov house was eerily quiet, tense and awkward. Only the sound of cutleries echoed in the dining hall. The food was delicious but the presence of Edwin dampened Veena and Lois' mood. Ever since Edwin's declaration of claiming the Rossenov empire, Lois' resentment to his father grew even deeper. Now, her husband kept himself distracted by peeling shrimps and placing them on her filled plate.Emmon noticed the tense atmosphere and cleared his throat, facing Dianne. "Tell us more about you Miss Dianne, other than being my son's fiance of course."Dianne was surprised for being put on the spot early in the morning. "My mother's side is from an aristocratic family, the Emersons from up north in the Haven City. My father is a Valence and used to live here in Geneva before falling in love with mom and transferred to Haven City. We ran a hotel empire back home and been running it for years." She shared without giving too much information.Veena stopped stabbing on her fo
Spraying the sweet strawberry scented perfume, she was ready to go. Tonight she wanted to surprise her fiancé and ready to be taken. The love of her life is currently resting in their room and he didn't know that she's coming home tonight. The fashion show in France was pretty hectic and she missed him so much that she couldn't wait to get home. Wearing a sexy, red nightdress. She prepared herself to satisfy her fiancé. They haven't really gone far from their love making, only limited to few kisses. Now, she will offer herself to him willingly and take the innocence of her body. Silently walking up to their room she could hear few sounds from behind the door. Is he awake? Opening the door she gasped upon seeing her sister on top of him. There her heart shattered as they were pleasuring each other. How could they! "Stephen..." she whispered. Her fiancé looked up and was shocked that he pushed her sister to the ground. "B-Baby it's not what you think it is. I-I can explain!" he st
Veena finally arrived at the Harrison family’s residence. It’s been three years since she last set foot in this place. She’s no longer the weak woman from the past, she came back to take back what belongs to her. The whole family was waiting for her at the living room; they were giving her disgusted looks. The moment the Harrison family created a place in Geneva city’s social circle. Was the time they took advantage of her. She held on to their wicked tricks for years and successfully defended herself. But the more she took the damage the more her defenses fell. Everyone betrayed her and she vowed to take back everything and destroy it in one sweep. “Congratulations on your release, sister.” Ashley said. Veena glared at her evil sister. This is the woman whom she no longer called family. She stole Stephen from her and they cheated behind her back. Her parents didn’t even care and were happy of her fall. “If you didn’t know yet, I’m the new CEO of your company.” Ashley added. “What
The awkwardness in the air was too much for Veena to take. She made a move to leave. Seeing him gave her a piercing pain in her heart. The betrayal never healed and her belief on love was broken. All because of him. He was her comfort whenever her family oppressed her. But he’s just like all of them, a venomous snake that will do anything to take advantage of her. “H-How are you?” Stephen asked. “Thanks for the obvious question. I’m feeling great and surely you’re satisfied with the outcome. You got what you wanted and I wanted to congratulate you for that. Is there anything else that you want to steal from me?” “I did not steal anything from you!” he bellowed out. “Scared to accept the truth? If only you never slept with my sister then none of these things would have happened. You were the only person I could lean on and cry for days. It was unexpected that you’ll betray me too.” Every single word that comes out from her mouth was like needles to her heart. This will be the las
"Boss, someone wants to have an appointment with you." Felix said. Lois looked up from the report he is currently reading. His sharp grey eyes were stern. "What is it for?" he replied. "I'm not sure, but Abby told me it is a woman." Felix was confused why a woman would request a private appointment with Mr. Rossenov. No one has ever dared to do that. "Okay." Felix blinked in surprise. Did his boss just say 'okay'? He never accepts random invitations from strangers. Veena walked in with her head high. Her body looks a bit better than last night. An hourglass figure and long, slender legs to die for. A perfect combination for a super model. Everyone were curious of this mysterious woman. Their boss doesn't even like women, yet here she is. Could this person be their boss' future madam? "I am here for an appointment with Mr. Rossenov." Veena said to the receptionist while taking off her sunglasses. The woman was star struck and her eyes were glued to the mysterious woma
Veena's cold gaze prevented Stephen from speaking up. She walked past him as if she never met him. The tension in the room increased once Veena entered the board room. Ashley’s eyes were a bit puffy probably from her crying session. She assumed that they were having an argument. The shareholders didn’t look happy at all. “Veena Harrison we’re glad that you’re back. We were hoping that you’ll take over the company as soon as possible.” Mr. Travis said. “I’m sorry for crushing your hopes Mr. Travis but Veena will be Ashley’s mentor. With the scandal on Veena’s name placing her back as the CEO will only make Fontana collapse.” Helen explained immediately. Veena wanted to curse at Helen. She will do anything to tweak the truth. The reason she is in Fontana right now is to get something important in her old office. “Mrs. Harrison is correct. The scandal affect Fontana even after three years. I hope mentoring Ashley will save Fontana. We will be expecting a lot of things from this ‘eme
A brunette haired woman wearing corporate clothes was standing in front of Fontana and approached Veena. "Good day, Miss Harrison. I'm Abby and will be your assistant from now on. I have been sent by Mr. Rossenov. He wishes you to stay in his apartment." Abby said. "Hm? I don't think that is appropriate for me to live with him." Veena replied. "Mr. Rossenov says the deal will be off if you refuse." Veena frowned. He dares to threaten her? Whatever. This deal is much more important for her. It's better not to get in his bad side. Veena looked around in awe of Mr. Rossenov's apartment. It feels cozy with a mix of warm and cool interior colors. "Which room I'll be staying?" Veena asked Abby. "Over there, Miss Harrison. Mr. Rossenov has reserved you a seat at Piazza Deluxe. He won't be able to join you since he has a meeting to attend to." "Okay. Tell him my thanks." The maitre d’ led her to the reserved table with a breathtaking view of Geneva’s seaside. All of the pain,
Veena woke up finding herself in an unfamiliar room. Where is she? The last time she remembered was fainting from Ashley’s constant attacks. She can still feel the body pains that she received from every blow. The bright sunlight was glowing on to her. She must’ve slept for a long time. “How are you feeling?” she looked up to see the man who helped her last night. It was Lois. “I can still feel the body pains.” she answered hoarsely. He offered her a drink and she thanked him, drowning it down to give moisture to her dry throat. “The Harrisons bailed her out. Do you want to press charges on her?” he asked. “No. Going against them is useless.” She replied. “I’m sorry but are you Aloysius Rossenov?.” “Yes, Lois is my nickname.” he answered. Lois noticed her uneasiness and he wanted to reassure her that he is not a threat. Abby barged into the room and apologized right away for disturbing them. “Miss Harrison, are you alright?” Abby asked. She looked over to the man who helped he
