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
“Let’s think about our relationship first. This is not working out.”Cassius’ driver looked at his boss through the front mirror of the car while he was driving.It was so quiet in the car, when Cassius suddenly spoke something weird.The driver’s face went pale.Why would Cassius said that to the driver?‘He made it sound as if we are dating!’ the driver gasped inwardly.Breathing heavily, the driver answered him, “S-Sir. I don’t know what kind of relationship are you talking about.”Blinking his eyes, Cassius looked at the driver.“You are my boss. And I am your driver. T-That’s the only relationship between us.”‘What the hell is he talking about?’ Cassius wondered.Cassius just frowned as he looked out of the window.When the driver saw Cassius’ reaction, he thought that his boss was deeply hurt by his rejection.The ride went awkwardly until Cassius arrived in the company. The driver was so relieved that Cassius went out.“I am sorry. But no matter how handsome you are, I don’t d
Cassius placed an ice bag on Harriet’s reddened wrist.It stings every time the cold bag touches her skin. But Harriet endured it and suppressed her moans by biting her lower lip.She mustn’t show that it’s painful, unless she wanted to hear him nag at her.Sitting on the couch together, Harriet looked at Cassius. The two of them are inside his office in the Fantell company. But ever since they came here, Cassius hasn’t talked yet. She could only remember Cassius telling her that he will inherit the company so they can avoid both the chairman and Harriet’s death.After that, Cassius did not talk anymore.Harriet thought that it is because they are both worrying about Zion whom they left in the staircase.Even if Zion hurt Harriet’s wrist, they couldn’t blame him. Harriet realized why Zion became like that, while Cassius understood him.They continued being quiet like this until Harriet’s swollen wrist got better.“Where are your guards?”At last, Cassius spoke.Harriet stared at Cassi
Harriet looked at her reddened wrist.The ice reduced the pain. But it didn’t heal the heavy emotions deep in her heart.When she saw Zion losing his sanity just by remembering the future, she doubted all of the hatred she felt for him before and after she died.She almost went crazy when she was locked up in jail. And when she resurrected and went back to the time, the only thing that she thought was to take her revenge.But Zion was different.‘He looks worse than me,’ Harriet thought as she held her wrist.“Miss Harriet.”Harriet looked up to see the person who called her.Then she saw Elona sitting across the seat.The two of them decided to meet in a busy coffee shop where they can barely hear each other because there are many customers inside the shop.“Since I am gonna meet the heiress of the Wyatt corporation, I thought you will rent the whole coffee shop so we can talk at ease,” Elona teased as she crossed her legs.Men inside the coffee shop both took glimpses of the two bea
Sorren Fabroa has the 46% shares of the Fantell corporation, which made him the Chairman. Finn has 15%. Zion has 5% and Sherly has 2%. The remaining 32% were divided to the other shareholders of the corporation.The Chairman already announced before that soon he will move down from the position. Since it’s not been a year since Zion joined the company, the shareholders thought that it might happen after some years. However, yesterday, the chairman sent notices to the shareholders that there will be a meeting tomorrow about the chairman’s retirement.Everyone was shocked, especially Finn.Waiting for the chairman to arrive, the shareholders of the corporation gathered in the meeting hall. Sherly couldn’t attend the meeting because the rumors about her scandal with Finn’s mistress haven’t subsided. Therefore, Finn attended instead of his wife.The hall remained silent.Everyone glanced at the two candidates who have most of the shares, and the one candidate who might receive his first
Director James glanced at the Chairman as he drove the car. Sorren is on his way back home after giving all of his shares to his son and grandsons. “Chairman, can I ask a question?” James asked. Hearing the endearment, Sorren laughed. “I don’t think you can still continue to call me like that. As you know, I am not the Chairman of the Fantell group.” James laughed, but he didn’t agree or oppose the statement. When the laughs subsided, James asked again. “Won’t you regret your decisions?” Breathing out softly, Sorren looked outside the window. The decision of giving equal shares to Zion and Cassius was influenced by someone who asked him to make this. “The two of them will fight each other just to get the position,” James added. “I am sure, Vice President Finn won’t stay still too.” Finn. Sorren’s son, Finn. Ever since a long time ago, Sorren had no plan to give the ownership to his son. But that doesn’t mean that he’s happy to let Zion and Cassius fight each other. ‘Until n
Reese was dragged in the interrogation room in the Central Investigation Department. And her crime, attempted murder. Not once, but twice. ‘No! This can’t be happening! This isn’t in my plan!’ Reese shouted inwardly while she is sitting on a chair which was bolted to the floor. Alone in the interrogation room, Reese looked around to see if there’s something that will help her know how much time have passed since she was brought here. Unfortunately, there is no clock visible. The flush metal solid door is windowless too, and she cannot open it from the inside. On her right side, she could see her reflection through the one-way glass. Even if she couldn’t see the cameras and the audios inside, she knows she was being watched and listened. Knowing that, Reese shouted, “I am innocent! I never tried to kill someone! Please! Let me out!” Her words echoed inside the room. But no one replied her pleas. Tears build up on her eyes. With handcuffs, she cried so hard. Reese looked so pat
Harriet’s POV “Tell me who killed Sorren?” Reese never winked but kept up that fixed stare on me. Though she leaves her words unspoken, her faze is doing plenty of yelling. I packed my gaze with the truth, to tell her that she has no way out in this trap. I wanted to sear this moment into her brain, so that later, she'd understand that the only choice that was left is to give in. To surrender. To stop. Slowly, Reese’s face gave it away, and the terror clawed at her expression. “You will get me out of here if I tell you the truth?” she asked with a wavering voice. ‘She seems like she’s about to give up.’ Someone told me that if you are interrogating the person, then the best technique is the Reid. It is a coercive tactic that is used often to get a confession out of a suspect. First, make her isolated so they will panic. Reese panicked when she realized that no one would be able to help her anymore and when she saw the CCTV footage in my phone. It overloaded her with th
