The CEOs Rejected Bride. 54. THANK YOU.
The next morning, Zach opened his eyes suddenly as if something had clicked into his brain thereby waking him up in a rush. The moment he turned his head to his right-hand side, he was greeted with Ben's huge head. "Boss? Boss, you are awake." "Hmm..." "Don't say anything yet. Let me get you a glass of water." Ben rushed to the desk and picked up a clean glass cup that he used immediately. He brought the water back to Zach and helped him to sit up.Zach grimaced in pain due to the injury. He collected the glass of water and drank it. His eyes were searching for one particular person but when there was no sign of her in the room, he glanced at Ben. "Where is Hera?" "She went home to change her clothes and also reschedule all the meetings for today." Zach nodded. That must be too much for her to handle alone.Last night, he had received the bullet meant to hit her and he really wanted to know how she did it. How she survived in the wide when he was unconscious. He then looked at
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 55. DISAPPOINTED.
Zach was finally discharged after a few days and was currently at home, speaking with the cop. The man was there to have some words with him regarding the incident and also about the attack on Zack. "This only proves that it was well planned. But how do you want things to slide, Mr. Zach? How do you want it to go? Because it already involves your father in it all. Thankfully, nobody in the company was hurt if not...it could have been another thing." The cop said.Zach sighed. This was far broader than he thought. If he were to go after these people, it would only be that he was seeking trouble and that wasn't his way of life. Violence was not something that he treasured or valued. "I believe that I have to speak with my dad about this. The case should be on hold for now. We don't need you to investigate until further notice." Zach answered. "Alright then, Mr. Zach. As you wish. I will silence the media about it since there is no information to give yet. If that will be all,

Hera slowly placed the soaked towel on his back as she cleaned the wound. Zach would flinch once in a while and then glare at her playfully. "Didn't you say that the water was warm? This is hot!" He retorted.Hera smiled wickedly and pressed it firmly on his back, causing him to wince. "Hera!" She giggled in response, "I am sorry."Zach then smiled to himself while allowing her to take care of his back. Hera stared at the wound for a while. It was deeper than she thought, the feeling suddenly caused her to shiver because she never believed that such a thing would happen. "Hera, why aren't you cleaning it again? Are you okay?" Zach asked her worriedly while turning his head a bit but couldn't grasp her view. She blinked and sighed. "Yes, I am fine. I was just staring at the wound and how deep it is. I was thinking that if this was to be me, I don't think I would survive it." She answered.Zach's lips parted slightly as if wanting to say something but he stopped himself an

"Mom?" Hera called with a quivering voice. She was shocked to see her here. She was looking so beautiful before she died and now, even more appealing. How?The woman was still smiling as she opened her arms wide. "Don't you miss me?" She asked.Her voice.Her voice was something that Hera had missed a lot and hearing it again felt heavenly to her. She instantly ran to hug her and cried out. "This is real. I am not dreaming. You are here with me, Mum. I miss you so much. Many things have happened ever since you left and... and Dad has changed a lot, Mum. I am being punished for what I did not do..." "Hera, can you at least calm down?" Her mum asked after chuckling. She looked into her daughter's eyes and cupped her cheeks as she used to when she was alive. "Why don't we forget about your dad and let's talk about you, hmm?" She suggested. "Mum, I really miss you." Hera sobbed and hugged her again. Her mum [ Eugenia ] smiled bitterly. "I miss you too, girl. I do miss you." She a

Hera groaned as she tried turning her body around. The pain she felt, even though it wasn't much, was still bothering her. "Hey, are you alright, Miss?" Someone called as she attended to her. Hera finally opened her eyes and looked at who it was then at her surroundings. "Where am I? Who are you? What happened to me?" She inquired. "You are still at the house of Mr. Zach, I am the nurse in charge of taking care of you and you fainted about two days ago because something happened to you but I think Mr. Zach will be able to explain better it if he comes back." The nurse replied politely. "Where is Mr. Zach?" "He isn't around. He went to a meeting this morning. He will be back anytime soon. It's almost dusk." "Hmm." "How is your condition? How are you feeling?" The nurse asked as she checked on the necessary parts that she was supposed to and Hera gave her responses. Hera remembered that she was with her mother in what seemed to have been her imaginary dream but t
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 59. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?
"So, how was the place, huh? You people took so long to come back. I thought you were going to settle down there instead of coming here." Anna asked her friend suspiciously as she unpacked her luggage.She had seen Zach drop Hera off him but something was strange to her and that was; she was expecting her friend to come out of the car immediately but she didn't. Anna and Austin stared at the window for what seemed to be minutes but their beloved Hera was yet to show herself to that made Anna suspicious but not the young Austin who had something else in mind.Austin was also in the room but whatever they were saying was none of this business. He was only concerned with what Zach informed him about the stuff that he had brought as a gift for him. "Here, Austin." Hera gave him the package and he collected it. "Thanks, Mum." He immediately jumped right on opening it. To their surprise, it was the latest wristwatch.Even Hera was surprised to see it. Austin lifted it for everyone to see.

The next day was Sunday evening. Zach was at his penthouse having a good time with his friend. It was less like a good time anyway because Blake was busy catching up on a series and refused to do anything else since they started the day together. He was watching the ongoing series and would often scream and sometimes laugh at the characters' behavior. All these were not strange to Zach, he just found them boring and unacceptable for him.He invited his friend over to keep him company however the latter was keeping himself and the television the company that they didn't deserve while he was left alone to wonder why he was wasting time watching the two of them.He casually picked up his phone and turned on his data. At that moment, Clara's message popped in and his eyes widened as if he had seen something very surprising. He looked at the time that she sent it and saw that it was an hour again.Feeling guilty and disappointed in himself, he decided to reply to her quickly. He dusted h
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 61. OFFICE AFFAIR [1]
It was another beautiful Monday morning that some considered to be loveable for them while others considered overbearing, especially for the lazy ones. "Moreover, the percentage of those who actually hate Mondays is higher than any other day," Anna concluded and turned off her iPad after she finished reading. Today, they didn't take her car and went by bus instead. Hera looked at her friend and smiled. "What about you? Do you hate Mondays?" "Sometimes, I do and sometimes I don't. It's just a matter of the mood I happen to be in when that day comes every week. You?" "Mondays are the best days of my life. I love Mondays." Hera responded cheerfully. She glanced at her phone. It was almost seven in the morning. She was sure that Zach would have been on his way or might have gotten there.She felt a little bit tensed up because she didn't know how things were going to look for her today. What if he showed up and said he wasn't interested anymore? What if she messed up? What if he didn
