Harriet’s POV My new room in my father’s large house is really far from the small room I have in the Fabroa mansion. When I stepped inside, I could feel the luxury from the high-quality furnishing to the polished floor. I heard that this was especially designed by Mauritz Snymon and I wanted to praise him because he made a design perfect to match my taste. He used a soft and soothing grays and silvers to create sparkling, rich feel. From the modern crystal chandelier that dangles over the bed to a plush silvery gray carpet that practically begs for my bare feet, waking up in this bedroom would make me feel like waking up inside a warm cloud. There is an oversize black and white tree graphic above the bed wall that gave this room a focal point. Father really gave an attention to aesthetic detail in this place. The quiet room has fresh air coming from the balcony which can be separated with a glass door. The windows will automatically open with a remote and there is a massage chai
Third Person’s POV The night before Astell brought Reese to his house, the two had a talk. Astell is looking at Reese, while the lady kept her head down. They stayed like that for long minutes in the waiting room of the hospital. Until Astell spoke. “Why can’t you look into my eyes?” he asked. Reese’ shoulder flinched. Then she uttered, “it is because I don’t think I can face you again, mister. I am so embarrassed.” “And why are you embarrassed?” “Because your daughter got into an accident. Although it wasn’t me, I still feel I have to be responsible. I am so sorry. I am so sorry.” Astell breathed sharply. At first, he was disappointed because he thought Reese poisoned his daughter but he was convinced that Reese is also the victim in this case. Reese cried again and the old man looked at her with pity. “Reese,” he called, raising his hand. He placed his palm onto her head and gently patted her. The crying lady stopped sobbing. “Why are you blaming yourself?” Astell asked
Men took Harriet’s things from the Fabroa mansion and brought them in Astell’s mansion. Along with the men, Marie followed.“Woah!” Marie gasped while looking around Astell’s house. She stepped inside while hugging her luggage. Staring at her new home is like dancing on floating clouds. She’s in cloud9, the smile wouldn’t leave her lips. “This is so huge,” she added.If the Fabroa mansion is like state of the duke, then the Wyatt’s mansion is like of a Royal palace. In a place that is like a dream, Marie took a deep breath.‘I made a good decision,’ Marie said inwardly.She contemplated long time if choosing Harriet’s side will benefit or harm her. Yet now, the hesitation has gone. Marie celebrated the victory of choosing the right master to serve.Harriet is the daughter of a multi-billionaire. She is very wealthy, kind and not abusive like Madell. Choosing her instead of Madell is like grabbing a handful of diamonds over a single bar of gold.How did Marie get here anyway?“Oh?” Mar
Harriet’s POV After coming to my father’s house, Reese and I were invited to have a lunch together with my father. The dining room is huge and the table is exquisite. There are Candelabra above the carved oak table and polished silver cutlery that shines brightly in front of me. On my right side stood a red wine glass and a beautifully folded napkins to match the runner. Then, in my plate, there is a red lamb steak. I tent my eyes towards my father who is sitting across. “I would really like to eat breakfast with the two of you, but someone came up. Still, I am happy that I will finally have the time to spend with my two beautiful daughters.” Daughters. The word itself gave a bitter taste at the tip of my tongue. Tilting my head, I looked at the woman sitting beside me. It’s Reese. She’s smiling to my father from ear to ear. Yesterday, I got the news that father is currently fixing the family register. He is eager to finish the documents so he can officially announce me as his
Third Person’s POV Zion was so happy when he first heard that he will be working with Harriet. It gave him excitement to think of coming to work and going home together with his secretary. Although he never dream of working in Fantell, just being with Harriet will be a big comfort. “But I didn’t know that Harriet will only work with me for just few days,” Zion said to himself with chuckles. He is now driving to work without his secretary. It is pretty obvious at the time that Harriet was revealed as the daughter of Astell that she does not longer need to work under Zion. However, even if they aren’t together, Zion is still happy. First, he is happy for her because Harriet does not need to work under his family. Second, he realized his romantic feelings for her. The third reason has connection with the second. Now that Harriet went up to the ladder, Zion does not need to worry anymore if they end up together. But how about his parents? Well, Zion doesn’t care. Alone in the car,
Harriet POV “You did the right thing, Harriet! How dare she ask for your forgiveness after all the things that she did to you? Huh! Don’t forgive her!” Reese said to me.‘Coming from her?’ We are in the balcony of the mansion where there is a round table and chairs. Maids served teas and let us enjoyed the afternoon while looking at the garden outside.Reese is sitting beside me and blabbering about Sherly.Just a moment ago, Sherly and Finn came in my father’s house to meet me. The madam went on her knees just to ask for my forgiveness. Oh how hard it was for her to force herself to bow down? I am sure that sir Finn made her realize the seriousness of her crimes. Not only they lost the favors of my father, but it might affect Fantell in the future.‘What Sherly and Madell worry is how I will deal with them soon.’ They were into that beliefs that I am the same Harriet who will succumb by their traps and small sweet talks, or the fact that I have feelings for Zion.‘Just try dying f
Zion went inside the comfort room of the company. Standing in front of the sink and the mirror, he washed his hands. As he does, he recalled the report just a moment ago about his mom going to the Astell’s house and even kneeling down in front of Harriet. He burst out laughing. “I wish I was there to see it with my own eyes,” he murmured then closed the faucet. It is very quiet inside the huge and air conditioned comfort room and so, when the door suddenly opened, Zion almost jumped out of shock and held his chest. “Oh sh…!” he looked at the person who entered after slamming the door opened and saw a woman with red dress, fur coat and sunglasses. The first thing that came to his mind? ‘A crazy woman appeared.’ Next, he recognized that the blonde haired woman is no other than his little sister, Madell. Zion snorted then set his head forward, as if he does not want to waste a time seeing her face. Seeing how his brother played ignorant, Madell strode inside after slamming the do
All day, Cassius mulled over the conversation he had with Zion. From his cousin’s answer, Cassius can tell that Zion has strong faith with Harriet, and that he would take her side no matter what happen. ‘Then why did Zion believe that Harriet killed grandpa?’ Cassis has two guesses. First, Zion saw concrete evidence that pinpointed Harriet as the killer. Or second, Zion might be the killer itself. However, the second reason contradicts with what Cassius knows. “He loves Harriet,” Cassius uttered while sitting on the sofa. Even if it is true that Zion is the suspect, it is impossible for him to frame the woman he loves. Cassius shut his eyes and breathed sharply. He does not want to ever consider the second reason as one of the options. Zion won’t ever harm their grandfather or abandon the woman he loves. Speaking of Zion’s feelings, Cassius remembered what his cousin told him in the hospital. [“Older brother. Promise me one thing. Please, don’t take Harriet away from me. I ca
