Harriet’s POVAs soon as I woke up, I went to the kitchen and quenched my thirst. I could have asked a maid to get me water and send it to my room. But as long as Reese is living here, I have to be careful.Who knows if that crazy b*tch put poison in my food?If it is her, every wicked deed is possible.Reese became evil not because she had no choice. There was always greed in her heart from the start. And now that she remembered everything, there is no doubt that she’ll do her best to kick me out before the day she would be the real daughter of my father.Unfortunately, father already knew what kind of person she was.Father is only pretending as we wait for that little chance to get what we need from Reese.“Good morning, sister.”In haste, I looked back with a gasp. Reese was standing behind my back. There was a smirk of Pharisaical satisfaction on her face as she approached me.The first things I laid my eyes on are her hands.‘They are empty.’That's enough to make me feel reliev
“Miss Nadia!” The maid rushed inside the kitchen when she saw the lady of the house sitting onto the floor. She feared something happened to the heiress. But when she reached their sides, she was shocked to see Harriet and Reese together. “M-Miss Reese,” the maid uttered. Both Harriet and Reese looked at the maid at the same time. Whoever would see the situation can figure out what happened between the two. Reese have marks of violence on her body. Her neck is red as well as her cheek. There are also tears in her eyes and she’s lying on the floor. On the other side, Harriet is kneeling in front of Reese and roughly holding her face. It is easy to identify who the perpetrator and the victim are. Because sometimes, justice only depends on what the eyes can see at the moment. “Oh my sister!” Reese suddenly cried out loud as she holds Harriet’s arms. “Please, stop it, I’m begging you.” The maid gasped as she watched what’s happening in front of her eyes. Everyone in the mansion b
Harriet stole the spotlight when she entered the Fantell company. With two guards walking her side by side, she walked confidently inside the huge building.She’s wearing a breezy mini dress with a cosy designer coat which she bought from the Elona store. The employees who saw her couldn’t see the secretary vibes Harriet had when she was still working as the chairman or Zion’s secretary.Even her name ‘Harriet’ had faded from their memories. Looking at her, there’s only one name that burned into their heads.‘Nadia Wyatt.’She is the heiress and the only daughter of the multi-billionaire, Astell Wyatt.Murmurs buzzed around the place. All were talking about her, her appearance and status. And among those people, the directors of the company weren’t exempt.As soon as the directors saw Harriet from afar, they shared the same thoughts of approaching the lady and getting on her side.Harriet stopped walking when these directors blocked her way. She looked at their faces and recognized ea
There’s only one person who possibly told Cassius’ secret to Finn.The people who know of his illness are Harriet, Sorren, Astell and Zion. Sorren and Astell have no reason to tell this to anyone. Apart from that, they are both adults who wanted to protect Cassius.Harriet did not share the secret either, or even gave a clue. Therefore, the only person who possibly revealed it is the man standing before Harriet.“I was surprised to see you here, Harriet,” Zion greeted.The whole world stopped and looked at their way.Harriet could feel the intense gaze from people around as they stood next to each other. It is because of the rumors going around the company.A rumor that Zion has feelings for his cousin’s girlfriend, had spread like forest fire. No one stopped it from spreading, until it cannot be extinguished anymore. Main reason was because the person in the rumor did not deny the accusation. Thus, everyone thinks it is true. And even right now when Zion smiled so sweetly in front of
“Miss Nadia Wyatt came to the company.” Finn stopped signing in a document when he heard this from his secretary. He turned his head to him and asked, “What did you say?” “Miss Nadia came here.” Finn looked at the blank space while wondering why Harriet came in the company. According to Zion, Harriet and Cassius aren’t really dating for real. Harriet was only helping Cassius because he’s sick. ‘There’s no need for her to act anymore,’ Finn thought. “And she met your son,” the secretary continued. “She met Zion?” Finn inquired. “Yes, Vice President.” “Then what happened when they met?” The secretary fidgeted his fingers as he lowered his head. Finn saw the hesitation in the man and he guessed that something happened. “D-Director Zion asked miss Nadia why she came here. Then, miss Nadia said she came to visit her boyfriend, Sir Cassius.” “That’s pretty given.” ‘Since she’s acting as Cassius’ girlfriend.’ “So, what happened next?” “Director Zion said that she has no long
One night, Zion went to the Fabroa mansion to talk with his grandfather. He came there to tell him that he wanted to annul his engagement with Reese. But while walking in the quiet hallway of the mansion, he accidentally heard Sherly and Reese’s conversation. “What do you think will happen if everyone finds out about your daughter’s secret?” Zion stopped walking. He hid behind the corner of the wall and then peeked. He saw his mother and his fiancee. ‘Madell’s secret?’ Zion wondered about that. “The Chairman and the Vice President won’t stay still once they find out that Madell is a drug addict.” Zion scoffed in disbelief. His sister was once caught smoking, bullying students and she sometimes hurt Harriet too. But that woman is now involve with drugs? Her older brother couldn’t imagine that she choose this in the end. If Madell is a drug addict, the only answer to keep her sanity is to stop her addiction and send her to the rehab. However… “What do you want?” Sherly asked R
Where will Sherly use the poison? To who and why? Zion knows who Diana is. When he and Cassius were young, they were playing hide and seek together. And by an accident, they heard Finn and Sherly’s quarrel. They were fighting over Finn’s first love, Diana. Sherly said that the reason why Finn cannot love her is because of his first love. It was the time Zion realized why his father couldn’t give him the attention and affection he needed. Sherly got pregnant with Zion and that’s why Finn was forced to marry her. It explains why Zion received loathing stares from his own father. He was a thorn in Finn’s eyes. Zion despised the woman whom his father loves so much. There was a time that Zion promised he would blame the woman for abandoning his father and giving it to Sherly. If only Sherly did not marry Finn, then Zion does not need to live his whole life waiting for something impossible. However, he was shocked to know that Diana is dead. ‘But according to father, Diana abandone
The Chairman died.Zion was busy following the woman who had a talk with his grandfather. But suddenly, his grandfather died?He rushed back and went to the hospital. He was hoping that the news was wrong and that his grandfather would survive. But when he arrived in the hospital, it was too late.The members of the family were all crying in front of the dead corpse.“B-Brother,” Madell sobbed when he saw Zion standing from afar. “Grandpa… Grandpa… is…” she sobbed.Zion slowly walked towards the figure covered with white blanket.He kept on denying what’s in front of him.‘No. Grandpa is not dead,’ he repeated this to himself again and again.Gradually, Zion reached for the blanket and pulled it down. When he saw his grandpa’s peaceful face, the information sink in his head like a bomb.‘He is really dead,’ he changed this to himself.Zion clenched his fists as his breath heavily.He remembered the last time he saw his grandfather. Sorren looks very energetic. But suddenly, that old
