Cassius saw hatred at Harriet’s face as soon as Reese approached their side. One thing that puzzles him is how she tried to hide her disgust against the maid. In his case, he’s hiding his expression so the illness of his will remain secret. Harriet has no illness to hide, but she seems to cover something more than a disease. “You are so pretty today!” Reese greeted Harriet. She glanced back at Cassius and bowed her head to show respect. “Good evening, sir Cassius.” Thinking that he has no reason to respond at her greeting, Cassius wordlessly just stared at her. As Reese sensed the piercing stare from the handsome man, she awkwardly looked back at Harriet again and smiled. “Omg!” Reese gasped, pointing her with both of her hands. “I did not expect to see you like a princess, Harriet. I thought you said that you don’t have any dress to wear.” Because Harriet came beautifully like this, Sherly was so mad at Reese, thinking that she gave her a false information. ‘Just because you h
Harriet’s POV Days ago before the party, Marie came to me with a very important information.“Miss, I found this in Reese’s cabinet.”She showed me a powder like substance that resembles white sand.“When Cris went inside our room, she said that she saw Reese sitting in front of the mirror table. Then, she suddenly hid a pouch inside her cabinet, locked it and dashed out of the room with pale face. So I looked what she was hiding and found this.”I stared at the powder she placed inside a transparent plastic bag.“Then how did you get this when Reese locked the cabinet?”Marie looked to her left and right, then scratched her nape. “W-Well, I have a little talent for that.” Then she gave me an awkward laughed.Well, her skills became advantageous.“So did you steal this from her?” I asked.“No!” she answered. “Not literally stealing. The powder is in a expensive looking pouch. So what I did is get some of it and transferred to another pouch.”“Good job. If you stole it, she will susp
Third Person’s POV Cassius stood in front of the hospital VIP room. He hates going in hospital; the white walls, the hospital gowns, doctors, nurse, the smell of the medicine and the sound of the Iv fluid. He felt sick just by being inside but this time, he cannot bring himself out of the place. He won’t leave here, not until he’ll see Harriet wide and awake. Even now, Cassius couldn’t still believe what just happened in the party.The way Harriet drank the wine and her words before that, he knew that Harriet intended to drink the poisoned wine at the first place.Why?No matter how understandable her reasons are, Cassius can’t agree. He would not agree. Never.The moment he saw her collapsed and coughed blood, he felt the whole world stopped and every colors turned black. She told him not to worry anymore, as if she can handle it all, but Cassius failed to do so. And he felt pathetic that while watching her struggles, all he did is to stare at her and hold her hand.Cassius sighed
Sherly threw all the things on the table, including the plant vases of bonsai trees she’s raising for years. A crashing noise of something breaking and hitting echoed inside her room. Broken pieces of vases scattered on the floor and at the vacuumed carpet. Soil dirtied the glossy floor. From her bloodshot eyes, they showed how the resentment blossomed within her. Great anger thrummed through her veins, boiling the blood inside her veins. They thrummed hardly, pulsing and pulsing. She looks like a volcano, as if there has been rage building up below the surface and she can’t keep in any longer. “Damn it!” she shouted and slammed the table once again. All of her plans got ruined. They failed to frame out Harriet and then what? She turned out to be whose daughter again? “What? She is what?” Sherly spit nails from her mouth. When Sherly imagined the face of Reese who introduced Harriet as Astell’s daughter, she was marinated with flaming fury. Questions piled up inside her. How l
"How did you know that Harriet's father is Mr. Astell?" this is the first thing that Zion asked to Reese. Reese, Zion, Astell and Sorren went to the VIP waiting room of the hospital. When they got there, Zion dropped the suspicion/he has for Reese. Before the welcome party of Cassius, it seems Reese did not say anything to Harriet about Mr. Astell. Because if Harriet knows something about it, then she should have told them about this. However, at the times where Reese got put in tight situation, she suddenly revealed it to everyone. After Zion asked the question, both Astell and Sorren looked at the maid sitting next to them. Amidst the anxiousness as they wait for Harriet to completely wake up, the began to get curious how did it happen. Since when? How? And what is Reese connection with Astell?"That is also what I wanted to ask," Astell said to the young lady. "How did you know that Harriet is my daughter?"Reese slowly lifted her pale face towards Astell, the man she once save
Harriet's POV From the first day I worked as the chairman's secretary, when Reese became the Nadia Wyatt, she got engaged with Zion, when Grandpa Sorren died, when I was framed up, went to jail, sentenced to death and died, I told everything to Cassius. This is a story that I would never ever forget. Maybe everyday, it never leave my mind, Every single moment I breathe, I can feel the painful moment I died. If there is one thing that I cannot tell him, then that is that I loved Zion. Cassius was silent when he was listening. But after I told him everything, he suddenly went berserk. "I need to Meet Zion right now," he said, with an expression of an angry bull who saw a red sheet. Before he could stand up and go, I stopped him, by holding his wrist. "What are you doing? Talk to Zion about this?" Cassius unwrapped my weak grip from him. "I wanted to punch him," he said. "I cannot believe this. Someone who's been by your side since childhood believed that you killed gran
The incident that took place in the Fabroa family has all over the news. Everyone was shocked to know that the multi-billionaire, Astell Wyatt, finally found his missing daughter. If there’s one thing that isn’t included in the news, then that’s the truth behind the poisoning incident. The news only said that Astell’s missing daughter passed out during the party and that was the reason how the truth was discovered. It will be impossible to cover for the real incident so the family members of Fabroa are so confused about the agreement the chairman and Astell Wyatt had. How did Sorren conviced Astell to stop the investigation about the poisoning incident? Madell, Sherly and Finn looked at the chairman. They are now sitting together around the same table, and having breakfast. Sorren rarely asked the family to have a meal. Usually, he asks this to happen whenever he has special announcement to share. And so, when Sherly, Madell and Finn were told to come and eat breakfast wit
Zion wore his necktie and looked at his reflection in the mirror. His clear sight turned blurry as he remembered what happened last night: "Then why did you hide it?" Zion asked. Reese just finished explaining how she discovered Harriet’s identity as Astell’s daughter. Yet, Zion still has unsolved questions in his mind. It is worth to celebrate Harriet and her father’s reunion but Zion wouldn’t want to skip important things. He thinks that if Reese really cared for her friend, she should have shared the truth as earlier as possible. Once again, Zion caught Reese’ hands trembling above her lap as she tried to keep the serene expression on her face. When his eyes went back to her gaze, he added, “And what about the poison that came from the drinks you were serving?” Marie said that she got the wine glass from the tray Reese was serving, which means, the poison came from her tray. Zion has slight doubt at Reese’ intention in revealing the truth, as if she was just cornered and
