Harriet’s POV The two of us arrived outside the condominium building. After I gave him the answer for his question, Zion just smiled and said, “Yes. You’re right . Now, it’s like that.”Then we did not talk furthermore.We both hopped outside the car and Zion handled me the car key.“Take care on your way back to the mansion, okay?” he reminded.I nodded my head.“And tomorrow, picked me up to work. Can you do that?”I am his secretary so there’s no way I can decline the task.Once again, I nodded my head. “Yes. I will.”“Alright. See you tomorrow~”Zion turned his back against me and started to walk away. Looking at his back which growing father and farther, I remembered the question he asked me just a moment ago.[“What am I to you, Harriet?”]That is a question which holds tons of answers. But I couldn’t dare answer honestly, for he won’t understand the reason why I had to stay away from him. He can be a someone who was a friend, that is possible. Because looking at our memories,
Harriet's POV Cassius let me go inside his condominium room. Looking around, the vibes and designs of the interiors resemble the condo he has in New York. It gave me a favorable and lasting first impression that I can still remember until now. The design around is stylish, attractive, mature and sophisticated while still being approachable. From the columns and exposed beams to the furnishing items, neutral colors curtains, scrubbed walls, eye catching cabinets and to warm lighting, they all bring stability, harmony and sense of balance. His living room are filled with neutral colors and in the center, there is Goroka table which was coated in a glossy black lacquer. I am also sitting the the upholstered Nau sofa in cottony velvet. Looking at the kitchen, there is a Koi dining table that gives ample to the room. It has been brushed with brass matte and a top in acrylic. Now I wonder if the chairman prepared all of these to match Cassius' style, or Cassius personally designed his
Harriet’s POV To gain a power, I need to meet my father, Astell Wyatt. However, it had to be in a way that I won’t look like suspicious. Even if I know that he is my father, I have no recollection of my past. It won’t make sense if I suddenly appear in front of him, say that I am her missing daughter and ask him to do a DNA test with me. ‘That’s why I need a way to meet him naturally.’ To do that, I need to use the connection of Fabroa. In the original event, Fabroa is singing to Wyatt’s corporation to close a deal for the upcoming project of constructing a large mall. We always invited the chairman of Wyatt’s corporation but Astell declined all. Only when Reese pretended to be his daughter that Astell accepted to have a deal with Fantell group, and Reese and Zion got engaged. But the situation changed. Reese won’t have a chance to play as his daughter. So how will I get the attention of my own father? One way that I thought is using Cassius’ name. Probably, many would have
It was a clear night and as quiet as a graveyard. Only now and then I heard footsteps, a dog bark, or a car passing the street from the long distance.Sitting on my bed, I listened at the faint sound of footsteps which are getting louder and louder. The sound stopped in my room and my eyes went towards the door.Knock knock~After two knocks, the door slowly opened. A maid with orange curly hair, round eyes and freckles on her cheeks entered.“Good evening, miss Harriet,” Marie greeted with a bow.I nodded my head to her and asked, “Did you make sure no one saw you entered my room?”She lifted her head and smiled from ear to ear. “Of course, miss. I made sure no one saw me. I also took the way without CCTV.”Since she’s working under Madell, she knows all the secret way in the mansion. This is the perks of getting this girl into my side.“Good,” I complimented. “So why did you want to meet late at night?”When Marie followed Reese, we already talked over the phone and she reported wha
Third Person’s POV Set on the Lake Blue Ridge where one can in fresh water, there is a huge log cabin owned by the Fabroa family. Madell was brought as her punishment for getting caught smoking and for hitting Harriet. Without credit cards, cellphone and wifi connection, her grandfather’s wished that Madell will learn about her mistakes and condemn for it. For her study, a private teacher will be sent there. There are guards outside the gate and they make sure that the teacher does not have cellphone or any gadgets with her before they will let her in. There’s a lot of things to do in the vacation house. Madell can do boating, fishing, hiking or mountain biking. But such things won’t entertain her. What matters to her the most is to come back to the mansion and revenge on Harriet. “That b*tch. How dare she…” Madell gritted her teeth while thinking of Harriet. Her cheeks are still covered with bruises from Harriet’s slaps. Every time they tingle, her urge to avenge grew even more
Harriet’s POV I sent a message to Zion, saying that I am already outside the condo unit building and waiting for him. It is really my job as his secretary to fetch him on the way to work but it still feel uncomfortable.From the steering wheel, I looked at the huge condo building that was designed by the chairman himself. After the chairman visited Japan, he was inspired to make a building the is capable of resisting strong winds and earthquakes. And so, the condo was designed to look like a bamboo, the strong but flexible plant the grows across in East Asia.It is a beautiful building that can be enjoyed from the distance and from the top views. It is really differs from other big buildings, and also, this became the chairman’s favorite among all his creation.‘And he let his two grandsons to live here.’ If I should pick who grandpa Sorren loves more, then the answer is not worth thinking of. As I recalled the conversation we had this early morning, I could say that he treasures bo
Cassius changed into a new pair of clothes. As he sat on the sofa and looked at nothing, he barely recalled how he acted in front of Zion. When the water gushed down, he only felt his senses drowning. His breathing and vision only got cleared when he went out of the building.‘I’m doomed,’ he said to himself.With this, Zion will definitely know his secret. And right at this moment, Harriet probably explain things to him.Cassius looked at the door of his unit.He left it unlock. Because he believes that after Harriet talked to Zion, she will go to his side.Cassius thinks how odd it is for him to wait. Isn’t this the first time he waited for someone? Because he’s always alone, and he though he will die alone.A woman whom he met in New York. The woman who followed and forced him to come back. Harriet was a thorn in his eyes which he cannot take off. But now, she became a person whom he wanted to hold, to be with, and to stay by his side. It is a greed he felt for the first time of h
All day, Zion stayed seated while thinking about the secret he discovered. He did not eat, or noticed how much time have passed. Staying still like this is nothing compared the long years he hated his older cousin, Cassius. He remembered how Cassius pushed him and told how disgusting he is. The word rooted inside his heart and grew the moment he saw him again. However, he couldn’t help but think that maybe… just maybe, Cassius only said that because he was ill. Zion moved up from his seat. He cannot solve the mystery unless he can hear it directly from Cassius. The determined and more composed guy went out of his condo. He stood in front of Cassius unit. It took him seconds and lot of taking deep breaths before he had the courage to raise his hand and press the doorbell. Ding dong~ He stayed wordless while waiting. As seconds passed by and no response has returned yet, Zion pressed the doorbell again. Ding dong~ Finally, the door opened. Zion lifted his eyes and was surprised
