Such a big remark to say. Why would a small rising company like mine would dare claim that thing? To tell them that I am indeed thinking of overthrowing the Hinsen company, I am only digging the own fall of my brand.“Where did you get that from?” I chuckled.Silver Moonlight, that is the theme line of my brand. Shining in the dark, one can say that the sun may shine brighter but only clouds can hide the majestic beauty that captivates people. It is the power that it holds.And because of my rising, surely… many people would think that way. As they finally see how my company is growing like a dream turning into a reality.“Why would I dare do that? to be honest, it is a small secret of mine but… I guess it won’t be a secret anymore. I am a big fan of Dona Lora Hinsen. The very person who build the name Hinsen in that fame. I am sure you are all aware of who she is. Right?”Seeing her surprise words, maybe she didn’t know that someone in the age like mine would know who Dona Lora was. B
“She is awake, what should we do?”I hear how one of them started to speak to the other. Even though I am tied, I am lucky my eyes are not restricted. But… why am I here? And… am I wearing a hospital gown?Shit… my shoulder hurts so freaking bad… maybe if not for Third calling me there, I would have felt much more pain than now. I mean, I think I already received treatment. But what- ah, why am I not in the hospital?! What do they want from me!??“Just let her be. We will meet the boss again. By that, our job is done”So they are men of someone… but who? Marco? But why would he… is it because of how my company rose?Ever since I lived a quiet life with Drake, I never felt like my life was in danger. How I wish it would all be just like that… but no, it wasn’t like that. And if I do nothing, I am afraid more people will get hurt.If it is Marco… isn’t he being so greedy? He now has the company for himself. Why would he…Shaking my head, there is no use in thinking such a thing. Someone
He… he helped me, didn’t he? He also knows who Drake is, why won’t he…Looking at him, the police finally get out of the vehicle. No, this isn’t right. I can’t go with the police. Who knew if someone on their side was part of this mess?“Can I borrow your phone then?”Looking at me, the police are already in front of us.“Please”“Sure”Throwing me the phone, the police are now talking to them. Surivan explained what happened but I did not bother to hear what they were talking about. As for Xemion, he remains calm despite of what happened. Dialing Drake’s number, his contact appeared right away. So he did know him. even in this timeline. But how did he know me?[Xemion? You called]“Hi…”I blur out. I can’t possibly call his name in front of the police. Can I?But… I just hope he would know who am I.[Kianna?! Is that you??]“Yes…”Hearing his voice once again, how long was it since I last heard his voice?I can’t help but have teary eyes. “Ms, are you hurt?”The police asked. Am I h
“Drake!!” I shouted as soon as I saw him. Standing with his back facing me. I am so happy that he is finally awake. How long has it been?? But somehow, he looks different. I mean… why is he not talking? “Drake? Is there something wrong?” And as soon as he looked back at me, there was a strange look on his face. “Who are you?” That furrow in his eyes as I was hugging him… Suddenly, I feel like… I was thrown into a pool of ice cold water. “What are you talking about?” I slightly giggle. Thinking that maybe he is just joking about that but this is not a funny joke at all… he should stop this. “I don’t know you. Stop hugging me” And that distance cold gaze made me shudder. Enough to make me jolt up from where I was sitting. “You are finally awake” Hearing that very voice, I then saw Drake sitting on the side of my bed. Still wearing his hospital pajamas. Somehow, my eyes were just fixed on his orbs. I can’t move. I can’t say anything else… By just hearing him say that… he sti
They say a small sorry is all it takes to forgive your parents. After all, they are the ones that give you life. There is just no way that you can hate them… but… what I am feeling right now… I have so many questions… Why? Why would he do that… Why would he do that to me who is his own daughter just because of some guy who is not even his son!! This doesn’t make sense! I thought he was smart… but… why would he be deceived just like that? “Kianna… would you like to hear out my words?” Stumbling a little, I am more than thankful for Drake that he was here for me. My hands turn numb by just hearing those words from Mr. Sebas. “Kianna, take a seat first” Seki told me as she offered me a chair to sit at. “Thank you” Even my lips were shaking. I can feel it… I mouthed which made her smile. But I am not really in the time to smile back. I hope she understands. Looking back at Mr. Sebas, I look at him confidently. There is no backing down. This is what I asked for, isn’t it? For me
“Kianna? Are you all right?” Staring at the report, Drake was resting in my room. As much as I know how safe our how was, none of us really wanted to be far from each other. Not at the time like this. “Yeah, how can I not be? Many more companies our on our side day by day” “By the way, how did you manage that? I am also surprised” A small smile escaped my lips. “I am still Kianna, what I can do before… I can still do it, limited though” Still confused, is there really a need for me to explain that? As the daughter of the former owner of the company, I was once the sole heir. I may have been fooling a bit before since I was madly in love with someone, but that doesn’t mean I neglected my duties. “It is hard to get back connections so I just created some” Only a real business minded man will believe in my words. It was a gamble but compared to someone who knows less things about the company… “It seems like the fate is on my side” I sweetly smiled. “Ah, right, Serena, is it do
“Kianna?” As soon as he called my name, I was glad I was here beside him. “Yes? Drake?” I caress his head, he had a hard time too. I am glad he is recovering faster. “Wait, you work?” With a frown on his face, he pulls me to his side. To my surprise, I was locked in his arms. “Drake…” But still, he was being careful. Just so I won’t hurt the shoulder I have wounds on. “I told you… you can’t do that… right?” “But I have to. I must… Time is important” “But you are much more…” Putting my hand on his face as I caress it, his arms still won’t let me go. Not that I want him to. But… I have to do more things. I still need to- “Hey, what are you thinking? I am with you and yet I am not in your mind?” Giggling, why is he acting so childish? Is he still sick? My my, that can’t be helped… “Can you stop being cute? Drake, it isn’t good for my heart” And kissing me on my neck, I can do nothing at all. “Drake…” “Let me stay like this for a while. You are so stubborn and won’t liste
Kianna POV I have thinking about this… but what Drake said… For me to not fight with Marco… even though I already took this much step… Should I do just as what he said? But… Why do I have this feeling that I would regret it if I ever did so? Still… Drake won’t tell me that without taking things into consideration… “Kianna, you are here” “Seki” I mumbled as she entered the office. Things are going smoothly, even the connection I gained in asking the Xinenon company went so well. Another ally I have. I wonder why Father did not ask them for partnership. They do well as a paper company… Maybe it was because of my father’s friend? Ah, right. That old man. I remember he had a quarrel with the son of that family… not that I remember the name… “Is there something on your mind? You don’t look good. You should rest too” “I am fine, seki. Really. Hmm how was the others?” It's been so long since I last met with Teri and Ryuu. I wonder if they are doing well. Even if the news says so, I
