Feeling inexplicably baffled, Zenith stared at her wailing assistant with her inquiring eyes as she spoke, "Ashley, can you just stop crying like a baby?! I want words and not sobs for goodness sake!""Mi-Miss," Ashley hiccupped as she went, "...it was my negligence that we appeared late in rescuing you. I… I…""Stop talking nonsense, Ash!" Zenith hissed, looking irritated. "What's there to cry when I am here? Fine and alive? This is enough to prove that you guys always got my back, especially at times like that!"Ashley somehow felt a little better hearing her boss's words as her sobs decreased as well her tears, eventually subsiding. "We pledged loyalty to Mr. Monroe since he took us to work for him, Miss and you're the most important person to him so we were just doing what's right. But we're really sorry for arriving late…""Okay." Zenith sighed and said, "I don't want to hear anymore drama, let's get back to work.""Got it, Miss Zenith." She replied with a smile.Ashley then dive
When Terrence jerked his head just above his shoulder, his eyes darkened! His mood turned sour and his hope defused like a falling balloon, losing its air.! The familiar scent invading his nostrils intensified but it came from the wrong woman who appeared to be none other than Hannah! His wife's nemesis!"Terrence, I've been looking for you." She said as she stepped forward, closer to him, showcasing her entire appearance. He scrunched his nose in utter disgust as he asked, "what are you doing here?""Of course I'm here for you." She mumbled softly as she bent over to kiss him but he tilted his head, dodging from it. Her red lips kissed his cheek instead which left a lip mark on it.His jaws clenched and his facial muscles ticked, feeling extremely pissed as he wiped off the area that landed on her lips. "I didn't know that you're invited. If I had known, I should have picked you up." He mused through his gritted teeth."That's fine, love. I came here with Mike." She replied briefly
The next day…It was around dawn when Zenith was awakened by a churning feeling of her stomach. Without wasting so much time, she jolted up from her deep slumber and ran as fast as she could towards her bathroom. She bent over the toilet bowl and puked all the sumptuous dishes she had eaten the previous night! "Ugh!" She gagged and gagged but there was nothing left but water until she felt the sudden wave of dizziness. Her head spins whilst her body weakens.Zenith slumped her back on the cold wall helplessly for support after throwing up for almost half an hour. Too exhausted to get up, she just wiped her mouth with the sleeves of her nightwear then she closed her eyes to take a brief rest.At that moment, she couldn't help but think of no one else but her husband who was the chief culprit on why she was suffering from morning sickness but apart from that she couldn't help but yearn for his presence as well. Oddly enough, Zenith craved to smell his scent and wished that somehow he w
Meanwhile at the Monroe's Ancestral home, Zenith was wheeled out from the house to the garden by her assistant. Her timing was just perfect for the sunrise as its warm rays graciously overcasted the darkness that envelopes the surroundings making everything clearly pleasant on her sight. Somehow, she felt better while inhaling the fresh air. The nauseous feeling was gone, replaced by tranquility in return."Wow, I didn't know that the garden had bloomed a lot of flowers this month!" Ashley squealed in delight, apparently surprised at the beautiful scenery."You can leave me here, Ash." Zenith demanded. "You got a lot of things to do…""Are you sure Miss?" Ashley hesitated."Yes. I'll call you later.""Okay." Ashley then scurried back to the house, leaving her boss alone.Zenith was wearing a black hood but as she felt the sunrise on her pale skin, she felt like taking it off. In just a matter of seconds, her face was revealed but she didn't care as she knew that she was on her own pr
Mike thought that he would succeed in getting Marie into his woven trap that is why even if he was disgusted to touch her, he gave the only thing that she asked! His body! He let her have the satisfaction of the only thing that she yearned for such a long time! He f****d her senseless in every corner of the study until she trembled and went unbalanced on her footing but unbeknownst to him, Marie was more cunning than he was. She was clever enough to deploy a bug on his study to spy on him as she sensed that he would sooner betray her! Knowing that she killed the woman that he loved, she didn't doubt that he would somehow do something to pacify his guilty conscience!She was indeed right! Mike was planning something behind her back but would she just wait for him to succeed? Should she just let him do what he wants? Should she wait for the police's arrival to put handcuffs on her creamy hands?Marie shook her head! She's not a fool! Before she gets to lure him in her trap as well, sh
Upon dropping off the call, Terrence proceeded to dial his assistant's number and instructed, "Find an aesthetician as soon as possible."Mark was currently in the middle of his dinner date when his mobile phone stole his attention. Reaching down his pocket, he fished it out and answered without hesitation."Mr. Adams,"Upon hearing his boss's demand, he choked! Coughing so hard!"Ahem! Ahem!""I need the aesthetician before this night ends!" Terrence's voice sounds urgent and demanding, leaving his assistant dumbfounded but nevertheless, Mark helplessly agrees as he has left with no other choice."I'll bring the aesthetician before the night ends, Mr. Adams.""Good! See you later!"Terrence then dropped the call and looked into the photos once again."I know you very well, Athena." He whispered as he brushed his finger on his phone screen, "No matter how you look, your body language will always tell me that it was you. You might have succeeded in getting rid of your identity as my wi
Zenith couldn't hide the feeling that somehow, the new applicant was a bit familiar to her from a different angle. From the moment that her eyes fell on him, waving his hand, she sensed something unusual that is why she went ahead to the house and refused to wait for him to come in. His silhouette from the gate somehow looked similar to none other than someone she was with before. This certain sight made her feel somewhat nostalgic.'Why do I seem to see him in that guy?' she thought while shaking her head.Bothered, Zenith went to one of the balconies to observe Ashley's briefing but to her astonishment, she caught him staring at her. Her eyes darkened! How dare he stare at her like that? Doesn't he know how to act like a professional worker? Hasn't he seen someone ugly ever since? Though she's quite a bit angry, she couldn't help but think.'Those eyes… They looked really familiar to me but how could it be possible? Their looks are different.' She thought while her fingers drummed
Unexpectedly, Ashley fell on a dilemma. Her insides debated, feeling somewhat both reluctant and eager to answer Anton Stanford's call. There was a small part of her that yearns to hear more of his voice but more than that she hesitated as she didn't know what to say nor answer if he ask her questions related to his sister. She won't surely answer him but what if he uses his intimidating voice to make her give in? That would be another story for her. What should she do? At that moment Ashley weighed her choice very carefully... Anton Stanford has never been close to her as their interactions are quite not frequent. Furthermore, since she meet him at the hospital by accident, she always felt uneasy towards him. Her gut sensed something unusual about to happen and that alone made her cringed at the mention of his name. What more if she faces him again? Her legs would definitely turn to jelly! Seconds later, she was determined to ignore him until the call would eventually ended to p
