Third Person’s POV Sherly dragged her feet inside the mansion. As soon as she went inside, she felt the gazes piercing towards her side. Her face burned in red, as if someone lit a fired inside her body. She looked around and saw servants of the mansion tilted their heads whenever they met Sherly’s sharp stare. “What are you looking at?!” she shouted at the servants. She is aware what those looks are for. Everyone knows that she’s the one who prepared the poison and that she went to Harriet to apologize. Every time she recalls the time she went on her knees in front of her, she wanted to throw up. ‘That damn girl!’ she screamed intuitively while gritting her teeth. Sherly heaved a sigh before she tried to compose herself. Then, she saw the maid, Cris, and called her over. “Cris!” The quick maid sprinted towards her. Cris bowed her head and greeted, “Good evening, madam.” Now that Sherly sent Marie to the Wyatt’s mansion, the most valuable servant in this place is no other than
Early in the morning, Finn’s secretary came to him to report about the recent updates in the Heydiko project I New York.“J&F company was found having illegal connections with drugs and smugglers.”“What?” Finn asked, scowling while looking at his secretary.It was Finn who chose J&F as one of their partner for the Heydiko project. He was thunderstruck to know that J&F company was included in scandals.“Thankfully, when miss Harriet went to New York, she asked the contractors to pull out the contracts with J&F,” the secretary continued.Finn pulled the heavy weight in his heart. If Harriet did not pull out the deal, it will affect the project and they might pause the work while handling the issue. In short, Finn was saved by her.‘But how did she know that?’ Finn pondered.When Harriet first worked under Sorren, Finn admitted that she’s a talented kid. But he couldn’t bring to like her out of jealousy over his father’s favor. Things have changed. Finn does not need to fight against Ha
Wearing a gray Armani suits with expensive cut and midnight blue sheen of his tux, Astell waited for his guests. This might be the first time he’ll accept visitors in his grand home. Astell Wyatt rarely invites people in his house, and usually, he is the one getting tons of emails and invitations for parties and special events. Yet he declined all of them. That’s make it hard for people in the industry to win the side of the multi-billionaire man, who has his schedule packed. Howbeit, unknown to many, Astell wasn’t just busy filling his limitless treasure box, but he was also taking huge time finding his daughter. He searched every crook of the world, searching for the child he lost years ago. Astell does not know how to rest, neither giving up. And as if the heaven finally heard his prayers and saw his utmost effort when his sweats turned to crimson blood, Nadia came back. Astell invited the three men who took care of his daughter, not because he has time to spend. He wanted to s
To start the dinner, all took seats in the beautiful dining room of Wyatt’s mansion. The spacious room has a large mahogany rectangular dining table topped with a charming chandelier that hangs from the white ceiling. It is a room fit for royalty with stylish modern glam style, as the custom black and white floor matched the dark gray walls. No doubt that the owner of the mansion is the chairman of the largest building corporation in the world and a multi-billionaire at a time only a few existed.The first time Harriet went to this house, she was fascinated at the exterior and interior of the mansion which will make the first-timer gaped with amazement.However, the guests for tonight aren’t interested at the designs around at all.Cassius and Zion only have their eyes fixated to Harriet. Somehow, they find it hard to take their eyes off her, a woman who has beauty that can led them off the cliff.Sitting with tall posture, upright and all, Harriet sensed the gazes from the two men.
“Eating together with our former maid, it feels weird.” All of the sudden, the mood plummeted as soon as Zion dropped those words. Even Harriet, who hates Reese to death, found it so surprising to hear such rude words from Zion. No one expected that, neither Sorren or Astell. If there is one person who will understand Zion, it is Cassius who shares the same hatred towards Reese. After the long silence which have settled between the table, a cackle of laughing pulled down the dark atmosphere. “You suddenly became so pretty,” Zion said to Reese, laughing. “I guess I am not still used to see you like that, Reese.” A smile that was like sunrise on a sea strewn with wreckage painted on Zion’s lips. Reese blushed, she subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ears. Sorren and Astell breathed, as they thought that the words Zion said before were merely a joke. Yet, Harriet and Cassius thought differently. Even thought Zion is smiling like that, the two can still see the hint of disgu
Harriet’s POV When I was young, Zion and I played house together at the backyard of the mansion. Madam Sherly and sir Finn restrained Zion from playing with me but he didn’t listen. Playing house together, Zion will play the role of husband and I will play the role of wife. At that time, I was so young to think about romantic feelings, and the play is just children’s curiosity to mimic the grown ups. “I’m home~” young Zion said as he sat beside me. “Good evening honey, how is your work?” I asked while playing with the toy kitchen utensils. “I am so tired and hungry. But if I taste my wife’s cook, I think I will be okay.” Both of us looked at the autumn leaves which I am cooking in the toy pan. Then, we laughed together. After cooking the raw leaves, which still raw, I prepared the box between us that will be our dining table. I put the leaves on the toy plates and fork and spoon each side. “Woah~ These look so delicious!” Zion gasped, clapping his hands. “Eat well, honey
Third Person’s POV One thing that Cassius won’t ever do is to eat meals with other people. When he was studying, he avoided eating in cafeteria and he always brought his own lunch.Eating with many people makes him sick, to the point that he can imagine the germ spreading out on the table. Yet, he ate pizza in Zion’s condo at ease. That is because he had Harriet with him. He expected that his illness won’t attack as long as Harriet is by his side. Nonetheless, getting an invitation from Astell made him worry.If he was invited to eat dinner with many people, he mulled if he can endure it. Still, he accepted the invitation and went to the Wyatt’s mansion.To his surprise, the worry did not last long. Cassius felt a sense of comfort as soon as he entered the wide mansion. He couldn’t understand why. It is not because of the exterior or the interior of the place. Something is in it that calm him down even when there are many people around him.‘Is it because Harriet and his father are
Harriet’s POV It is courtesy to tour your lover inside you room once he formally visited the house and with parents’ consent. However, I did not bring Cassius inside my room out of courtesy but to interrogate him instead. “What? You are going to work in Fantell?” I asked. Cassius, who entered my new room for the first time, looked around. He appears as if he did not even hear me. ‘This guy… really.’ “Cassius.” When I called his name, at last he looked into my eyes. “Working in the Fantell, that’s dangerous,” I said with my utmost sincerity. He can’t even stay with the place with Finn and Sherly. What’s more in working in the company? ‘Seriously, what did make him think impulsively?’ Cassius did not reply anything and just instead stared at me. He’s someone who gets mad if I did not share my plan. But look at him, doing the same. He always keeps his thoughts inside his mind. ‘Crazy bastard.’ Speaking of crazy bastard, I recalled how the hell he called me before. “And wh
