Pregnant With The CEO's Child And Being Hunted

The hotness of the sunlight peeked in, through the window. Which is slightly open. And a ray of sunlight fell on the milky skin of the woman, the hotness of the sun penetrated her skin, and she woke up.

Kneading her eyes gently to get rid of the sleep, she took her phone from the table. Glaring at the time, she was startled. Her gaze quickly darted to the curtains, peeking through them, she could see how bright the outside world is.

It's already 10: am in the morning, it's a good thing, it's the weekend otherwise she would have been late. Stroking the other side of the bed which is still warm and fuzzy, the memories of the activities of the night before came crashing on her.

A warm smile appeared on her face when the image of passion flashed across her mind. This might not be her first night but this is special to her, hence the smile.

She stood up from the bed, and looking around for her sleeping robes, she found them lying on the ground beside the bed. She bent over and picked them up, then slides them through her head and left the room, dragging her groggy body along.

Descending the stair with her hands on the railing, they are dark circles on her face, but she still looks pretty with them. When the maid, who was sweeping the floor with the vacuum, Ms.

Sue, saw her approaching, she dropped the stick vacuum and rushed over to meet up with her.  “Good morning, ma'am Giselle, sir has left for work and he asked that you should prepare some food for the evening!

She conveyed, wiping her hands on her clothes.

After listening to her message, Giselle nodded her head in affirmation.  “Ma'am, you can go freshen up while I prepare the table for breakfast for so long! ”   Giselle flashed a smile at her when she heard her suggestion, then she swerves around to leave for her room.

Just then Ms. Sue called her attention back again.  “Happy third anniversary to you and sir ”  She greeted, then she walked away leaving Giselle to gaze after her.

Yeah, it's her third marriage anniversary today but she still feels like a stranger in Zayn's life. Despite being married for so long, he has never treated her as his wife.

She was more like a stranger living under the same roof with him, she has done everything to make this relationship between the two work but, he kept distancing himself from her.

Although their relationship is a result of a compromise, she has always been in love with him, but he on the other hand loves her cousin Danica Medina instead of her.

On this day, three years ago, her grandparents and grandpa Meyer had initiated the marriage between them.

The family has been friends for a very long time, even before the two were born, during that time grandpa Medina, had done a favor to grandpa Meyer, and when grandpa Medina wanted to find a suitable match for his orphaned granddaughter Giselle, grandpa Meyer had come with the solution of getting Giselle and Zayn married to each other.

Grandpa Medina had always wanted to leave half of his inheritance to Giselle since she is the ablest and hardworking among them.

He knew that leaving the family wealth in her care would be a great choice, but she won't be able to manage everything on her own, therefore they needed to get her married, to provide support for her when he is no longer here to help.

Then Grandpa Meyer forced Zayn to get married to Giselle at that time, Zayn was very much against getting married to Giselle since he was in love with another woman.

Also, he always says that Giselle was not his type, she was too plain and ugly to be called his wife. He wanted to get married to Danica Medina, who is his ideal woman, and the one whom he believed he had always loved all his life.

Danica Medina is the city's top beauty, she has the body of a goddess and the face of the world. Her beauty is one of her many prowess.

Unfortunately, she couldn't make it to the list of an ideal granddaughter of the Medinas nor an ideal woman worthy of being in the league of the Meyers.

Grandpa Meyer detests the relationship between Zayn and Danica, he always wanted Giselle to be his daughter in law and that is why he came up with the idea of forcing Zayn to marry her, otherwise, he would face his life being turned upside down when grandpa finishes with his punishment for the humiliation caused.

With a grievous heart, Zayn and Giselle got married, and now it's been three years of the time. It's been three years of spending the night all alone. Three years of eating breakfast and dinner alone. Three years of being accompanied by the maids.

The past three years have been so hard on her, she thought she had finally been reunited with her love when the marriage proposal came for her but unfortunately, she ended up making livestock out of herself.

She is more of a home appliance since they are all she's got to spend the time with when ms sue is out of town.

The man rarely came home to her, and whenever he does, he spends the entire night ravishing her body and left before the morning, not without a stern warning to take care of her body to avoid pregnancy.

In the last three years, he had warned her severally about getting pregnant with his child, he doesn't want to have a child with a woman like her. She has always done everything to please the man and now, she is getting tired of everything.

Never she has thought that the man, she spent her entire childhood dreaming about could one day shatter her dreams and fantasy.

The love she has for him began years before he came to know Danica, maybe he forgot that she was the one, he wanted to love.

Looking back now, she wished she had refused her grandfather's orders to get married to this heartless man, who had treated her nothing less than a piece of trash.

All that doesn't matter anymore, since she has decided to end everything and go away from their lives. Giselle jerked back to reality when she hit her head against the wall while walking back to her room.  “What am I even doing?

She asked kneading the affected area to ease the pain, then she walked into her room.

When she was about to leave for the bathroom, her phone vibrated.  “Hello, aunt!  “Grandpa wants you to come back to the house for lunch!”  The voice said and immediately the call got disconnected.  “Strange!!   “Why would aunt give me such an attitude?

Have I done something wrong? Giselle asked staring at the walls.

Strange things seem to be happening to her today, Firstly, Zayn asked her to prepare food for him, which is so impossible And now, her aunt gave her a nonchalant attitude, which is something she never thought would happen.

Aunt Samantha has always been her backbone, she has been taking care of her since her parents passed away in a car accident, she raised her with the help of granny Medina and now? What is wrong with her?

Samantha might be the birth mother of Danica but she has been more of a mother to Giselle, but then again! There seems to be more than what meets the eyes. After giving it quite a thought, Giselle rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower.

Within a couple of minutes, she came out of the bathroom with a towel draped around her waist. Moving towards the closet, she opened the closet as swiftly as she could, trying to beat the time frame.

Immediately after the closet was opened, something fell from the closet. She bent down and picked it up, looking at the handkerchief in her hands.

A tear dropped from the right corner of her eye, she held the object close to her chest and hugged it tightly, then slowly she moved it to her lips and kissed it.

The Cologne of the man was split all over the handkerchief and she couldn't resist the urge to smell it. She smelt it for a while, then a smile appeared on her face.

This man is rightfully hers, his smell is all she wanted to have on her but he rather shares it with another woman than her. Loving him is complicated but she can't help it.

The only time she gets to spend time with him is during their night exercise and in the morning he vanishes into a bight air.

He has only come home about six times in the past three years, therefore she rarely gets in contact with clothes that has his smell on them. What's more, the smell is on the handkerchief that she had given him.

If he has this with him, then does that mean that he has something? “ Such silly thoughts are not good for me! She snuggled her mind away from that thought, then she resumed hugging it.

Zayn would never love a woman like me, he must have been forced to keep this handkerchief as well as me. She walked back slowly to sit on the bed with her hand stroking the place where the man had his mark as her husband.

The warmth on the bed before had disappeared, all it has now is coldness. The coldness sends several shivers down her spine in a Fricker of the moment, leaving her to yearn for comfort.

With her hand wrapped around the object, she stood up from the bed and went back to the dressing room.

She has a lot of things to take care of, moreover, she has to prepare some good and have it sent over to the office since Zayn wanted her to cook his food today, she might as well do it now and go for the lunch meeting later.

While picking out a top, her mind wanders around striving to guess why Zayn of a people would ask for his food to be prepared by her. Whatever it is, it's a good thing in all essence.

She quickly looks for a suitable out and slides through her mind, then she left the dressing headed toward the mirror.

Sitting in the dressing mirror, she brought out a concealer and applied it to the dark circles under her eyes and then the hickeys on her neck.

She had a satisfied look on her face when the marks were no longer visible,  She stared at her reflection in the mirror, she looks sad and still beautiful.

Although, nobody has ever considered her to be beautiful except her grandparents and her aunt Samantha. Giselle has come to terms with the fact that nobody would ever think of her like a queen.

Applying light makeup on her face, Giselle smacked her lips together to spray the liquid crystal on both lips, after that, she left the room, slamming the door behind her.

She was startled upon stepping out of the room and saw the maid standing right in front of the door with a tray of food in her hands.  “What are you doing Ms. Sue, you almost scared me to death!

She said with a gentle tone, while her hand dangled on her chest.

She looked startled due to how she is twitching. “You didn't have to bother yourself with that, I could have come to eat downstairs, you know!  “I know you would have, but this is different Giselle, I made this, especially for you.

You have not been keeping well for the past couple of days, so I thought of making this for you. I promise you will get better as soon you have it! Ms. Sue said with an assured tone, seeing the love in her eyes for Giselle.

She felt extremely overwhelmed by it. How could someone love and care about her so much, while the other person hates her so much as well? What an irony!

The one she wants doesn't want her, and the one she has never done anything to help her out is here for her. She bites her lips repeatedly.  “Thank You so much, Ms.

Sue, but I have to do something else before I have food, you can leave it on the table I will have it later when I'm done preparing food for Zayn! “food! Now?  “Yes! “Okay ma'am, I will leave it on the table then,  will help you in the kitchen too!

She walked out of the door fully. Giselle got to the kitchen and went over to pick up the apron. Sliding it down her neck, she went over to the chopping board and started cooking. Ms. Sue walked in, bearing some vegetables with her.

She set them down on the table and took over the chopping of the vegetables, while Giselle takes care of the cooking. Ms sue has been the one cooking for them since they got married, she has been with Zayn even before their marriage.

When she got to know that her boss is in love with Danica instead of Giselle, she felt so bad about it. Danica might be one of the beauties of the city but she is a vicious witch that doesn't deserve anything good other than pain.

Zayn might have failed to see through her sneaky ways but Ms. Sue has got to know about her dirty dealing during her stay in the house. She doesn't love Zayn Meyer, instead, she came for his wealth.

Knowing how much he loves her, she planned to use that as a tool to get the entire Medina's wealth transferred to her name. The only obstacle in her way is Giselle, who owns 70 percent of the Family's wealth.

The duo continues to cook in silence without anyone raising a question or demanding an answer from the other person. When Giselle needs something, Ms.

Sue would hand it over before she could ask, it continued that way until they were done with the cooking. Setting the food in a lunch box, Giselle brought out the customized box and dished it out into it Ms.

Sue. watched on as they got the food neatly dished. “Giselle, why don't you go for a checkup after this, you look very sick to me! Ms sue said, looking her all over.  “I will go, aunt, after lunch with grandpa.

I have already booked the appointment for the afternoon! So! “oh!

That's great then   After that, Giselle finished with the packaging, she took the food to the living room, and got Sue to go call the driver while she got ready for lunch with her family. It's been months since she last went back to her maternal home.

Being the CEO of such a big company, it isn't easy to balance both responsibilities but she tried her best. The Medina Cooperation might be the secondlargest company in the world, but they are a lot of things at stake.

Giselle had never thought that she would end up handling such a huge responsibility, moreover, she had never had any interest in the company but her grandpa woke up one day, forced her to get married, and then took over everything.

According to her grandpa, everything the Medinas have now was solely built by her later father, while her uncle Nicholas had wasted the family's investment on gambling.

Giselle went back to her room and changed into a more suitable outfit for her home visit. When she came back downstairs, she saw Ms sue coming towards her with a gloomy look on her face.

She doesn't look happy neither said.  “Ma'am Giselle, I forgot to tell you earlier z, the driver has taken a day off. His wife gave birth last night, so he couldn't make it today! She said.  “Oh!

Is that so?, you should have told me about it sooner, I would have sent some Jasmine oil over for the little kid! She said beaming with joy.

Giselle has always been very fond of children and she has been wanting to have a child of her own, but then, she was forced to keep her desires to herself. Nobody wanted to hear of it anyway. Seemingly lost in thought, Ms.

Sue cleared her throat to grab her attention back.  “Maam, how about I take the food to sir at the office, while you head out for the lunch meeting!

She asked, looking for a reaction, after giving it a little thought. “I have told you to stop calling me ma'am when we are here alone. Call me Giselle”  She urged.  “Okay Giselle, what do you say?  “It's fine, don't worry about it.

I will take the food to him, moreover, this is the first time he has asked me to cook something for him! “I will deliver it to the office and leave for grandpa's house after that! Giselle, grabbing a hold of the handler of the customized lunch box.

She got the lunch box made especially for him when they got married three years ago, and she never got the opportunity to serve him with it. Today is her lucky day, her wish will finally have a sight.

The box is something she saw him care about so much, while they were growing up. During that time, Zayn was so fond of his customized box that he wouldn't want to share it with his brother. She was the only person that got him to share it with her.

Her childhood memories are incomplete without him, or it should be that her life revolves around him.

He had come to her rescue when she lost way back then, but now he is the one that wants her out of the way so that he can spend his life with her instead.

After gazing at the box for a while, she took her purse from the table and walked out of the living room with Ms.

Sue trailing her from behind. “Take care of everything around here, I will be back soon"  Giselle said after stepping out of the door. “I will Giselle, you should take care of yourself as well, be careful out there!

With that Giselle left and the door was slammed behind her. Getting to the parking lot she took her car out and drive to the Meyer Groups. She got out of the car and took the box along with her upon getting there.

Getting into the workstations, most of the staff stoop up to greet her since she has always been so friendly with them.  “Good day Ms.

Giselle! “Good day Ma'am "  “You look beautiful today!   “Look at her glowing skin, she must be having the best time of her life”  “She looks very elegant, I wonder what brand of lotion she is using, I mean lol at her already!  “Didn't you know that being married to the richest man in the country, and also the heir to the Medinas is a better lotion than any other!?

The staff kept murmuring among themselves, debating about her. Although they try to keep it low she could still hear them.

With a painful heart, she wished they could come to know how much she's suffering being married to a man, who only comes home twice a year.

When the Secretary saw her approaching, she stood up from her cabinet and walked over to her in an attempt to stop her from going into the office.  “Good day Mrs. Meyer, what brings you here! ? I mean, why are you looking very different today?

Is there a special occasion happening at home? Sofia asked, trying to canoe her from moving any further.

When she realizes that Giselle looks at her with a disdainful gaze, she feigned a smile then switched the topic immediately. “The thing is, sir is in a meeting with the investors.

You can wait for him over here, and if you are in a big hurry, you can leave a message with me, I will let him know as soon as he is done with the meeting ”  Sofia suggested with a smile on her face.

Suspecting a foul play around more here actions were unusual. Knowing how much of a professional freak Sofia is, she guessed there must be a problem before she could act so crinkly. She took hold of her hand and handed over the lunch box.

With a constricted gaze, Sofia held the box tightly, trying so hard not to show her excitement. “Give that to him and inform him about my presence ” With that, she swerves around and left, leaving Sofia to gaze after her departing silhouette.

After a couple of minutes, Sofia heaved a sigh of relief, with her hand on her chest. She attempted to leave for her cabinet, then one of the staff walked up to her with a curious gaze. “What happened? why was the young mistress at the office!?

With a glint in her eyes, she exclaimed when Sofia didn't answer her first question.   “Oh, she brought you lunch! , it's must be nice, would you mind sharing it with me? She asked again, smiling sheepishly.  “This is not for me, it's for the boss.

You should better mind your business and focus on your work!” “Such a pokenosing freak,  hmph! ” “Leave my way! Sofia yelled at her gently, trying to avoid getting the other people's attention on them.

The other woman moved away from her part and she walked past her. With a vicious smile on her face, Maria tilted her head and a smile coined at the corner of her lips. Walking into the office, Sofia clenched to the lunch box.

Upon getting into the room, she dropped the box on the table and made it to leave the room, just then, the door swung open and a man in all his glory walked in. The man, who wore a frown on his face, looks like the most precious gem in the world.

His face looks dashing and shining like that of the radiation of the sun. His entire body was evenly toned down to his legs, he has long legs that stood him out in the middle of the crowd.

Looking at him you would mistake him for a supermodel, he has the qualities to become one, though. His blue eyes look like an abyss of darkness, longing for warmth and comfort.

The layer of frost on his face melted into warmth when his gaze fell on the customized lunch box on the table. Walking a little distance, he asked the shuddered lady.  “What is that for?

Zayn asked in his sexy tone looking back for a reaction from the conflicted woman. With a stuttering voice, she replied “Mrs. Meyer dropped by, I told her you were in a meeting so she asked me to give this to you!

She said baiting her eyelids repeatedly, then she left the spot and walk up to him.

She was about to take the box away when his eerie voice caused her to stop in her tracks.  “I never asked you have it taken away! , what are you doing? leave it, you may go! He yelled gently with his hands in his pants pocket.

Jittering out of his sight, Sofia felt a bit relieved knowing that she wouldn't be blamed for anything that goes wrong with the food that she orders for him. But on cond thought, Sofia felt a conflicting thought arise in her mind.

How could the boss allow the food cooked by Giselle in the office? Does it mean he plans to eat it? The bit that has never been done before! Well, whatever happens, is for the best!

With her attention fixed on the figure of the man, unlocking the lid of the lunch box. She spontaneously bumped into a human wall. With her hand sheathed on her head, she turns around to see the person, she had bumped into.

Upon seeing the angry dangerous look on the face of her victim, Sofia instantly became apologetic. “I'm so sorry miss Medina, it's all my fault, I didn't watch where was walking!

She apologizes, trying to help contain the woman's anger, but she knew it won't be easy to cajole her. It is very difficult to deal with it. “Watch where you walk, you ugly bat, it's sure is your fault, what if I have lost all of these?

Danica Medina roared at her angrily, rolling her eyes in disgust. “You better watch your way next time, otherwise I will have you fired for being rude to me!

Danica warned with a threatening tone, then she walked away leaving Sofia to look at her dispatching way.   “She is such a vicious twofaced witch, I wonder why the boss chooses to spend his time with her instead of Mrs.

Meyer” “Ma'am Giselle is a great person, she doesn't deserve this pain!”   Sofia retorted after watching the woman leave. While leaving, Danica turned back and saw Sofia gazing at her intently, she rolled her eyes to order her out of the room.

With a Whimper, Sofia the office slamming the door behind her. Meanwhile, Danica walked up to Zayn with a bag of food. Zayn didn't notice her coming, since his mind and attention were focused on the layer of food on the table.

The lunch box contains several dishes, laid out in a different format. When Danica saw the admiration on Zayn's face while staring at the food, Danica felt very offended.

Then she put on a sneaky smile, pretending not to have noticed the food.  “Hi baby, I bought us lunch, come on let's eat. I will set the table so long!

She said with a sweet gentle tone but deep down she was hurting, she felt her heart tearing into many Pierced.

She has spent the last couple of months planning on how to take over Medina's business empire, enthroning herself as the only heiress,  while also taking over the position of Mrs. Meyer. The position of Mrs.

Meyer will give her so much respect and status in the Grande City, which will be a stepping to her bigger dreams. Although Giselle was lucky enough to have all the things she ever desires, she doesn't know how to make use of them.

Or take advantage of her position to create a rule. What a foolish woman she is!! Being the only one, who owns everything is what she wants and getting them is her only aim.

Exclaiming in a pretentious realization, when she saw the man swerve around with a frown on his face.  “oh! looks like you ordered for lunch already, I will have this thrown in tbs bin!”  After saying that, she picked up the package intending to dump it in the bin.

But Zayn spoke up first.  “What are you here? Why have you come here! He asked with a cold tone, his gaze settled on Danica.

She looks quite upset with the questions being thrown at her. “I brought you lunch, I thought maybe you wouldn't be able to get decent hygienic food around here since I want busy I thought of bringing you lunch !”  She replied, dropping her hand hanging in the air. “fine but you didn't have to.

Moreover, I have told you...... ”   “Fine,  You don't have to say it anymore, I'm leaving right away. Here! , have this thrown in the bin! With that she stormed out of the office, wearing a twinge expression.

Getting to Medina's old family house, Giselle took out all the bags of gifts she has brought for the family from her booth.

Struggling to carry them all by herself, the maid saw her from a far distance, then she alerted others and they came up to help her out. Immediately, Giselle entered the living room, she was met with the cold gaze of the elders of the family.

Grandpa Medina is situated at the beginning of the round table, which signifies his authority as the head of the family, while grandma Medina was sitting close to him. Both her aunts and uncles were all seated around the big dining table.

The maid was busy fishing put the food,  while they wait impatiently for her arrival.

They wore an aggravated look on their faces since there were forced to wait for her before the commencement of the lunch. “You are finally here, princess! , we have been waiting for you since forever!

Matilda said sarcastically, immediately she came into the hall. “Shush, don't say anything else! Uncle Fredo tried to shut his wife Matilda up from vexing his parents, oh!

Also the only heiress. “Don't shut me up Freddie, this girl needs to understand the value of our precious time! Matilda fire back snarlingly.  “I'm so sorry aunt, everyone! I was caught up with an emergency, that's why I'm late!

She apologizes bending slightly. “Oh Giselle my dear, I have missed you so much !”  Aunt Samantha said standing up from her seat, she went and scooped her into a warm hug, while plastering kisses on her cheeks. “Mother, my daughter is finally here, now I can let you have peace of mind!

Samantha said giggling, and the rest of them joined in. “You are not a good daughter, Giselle, how could you abandon your family for so long!, do you even know how much I suffered from missing you so much?

Sam asked again, making a pouty face. “I'm sorry, aunt, I was caught with many cases and contracts I needed to finish, but now I will spend some time with you all!

After that,  she went over and took her grandparent's blessing. “happy third anniversary Giselle!

They all said with a smile, the loudness of their voices echoed throughout the room and they grinned from ear to ear.   “Why didn't Zayn come along with you for lunch? Grandma asked in the middle of the celebration, Giselle was caught off guard.

Thinking of a good excuse to cover up the whole mess. She can't bring herself to tell her old grandparents about the things she is facing being married to the richest man in the country.

Words almost failed her, but before she could say anything about the question thrown at her. A loud voice replied from behind. “He must be busy with business meetings! so he doesn't have time for his plain Jane of a wife I'm sure of it!

A loud voice replied from behind. “He must be busy with business meetings! , so he doesn't have time for his plain Jane of a wife!

When they heard the sarcastic tone of the voice, they turn around to see Brenda standing by the door with her hand clutched into her bag.

After saying that, she stepped into the dining room with an aggrieved look on her face. she was about to take her seat beside her father when grandpa Medina yelled out in a scolding voice. “Is how you talk about your sister?

How could you speak so ill of her in front of everyone like that? Grandpa Medina was infuriated by how she always treated Giselle, who in turn showed her nothing but love.

Giselle had never hated her for everything she's done to her but she kept making trouble with her purposely. “Brenda, did we raise you to be so arrogant and rude to your sister?

Now, apologize to her right and settle everything right this minute” Samantha said after seeing how Brenda was still being indifferent to her grandpa's words.

Despite her yelling, Brenda refused to bait an eye so she moved close to her and left a tight slap on her cheek. “Whatever I said is true so I won't apologize to her. Instead of scolding me, you should ask your beloved Giselle!” Smack!!!

The sound of the slap reverberated through the hall.

With tears in her eyes, Brenda held her cheek with one of her hands while she stare daggers at her aunt Samantha and Giselle. “It's not surprising that you love another person's daughter more than yours, aunt Samantha ” She said before running off to her room while everyone stare after her.

Matilda, who's Brenda's mother was angry when Samantha had slapped her daughter right in front of her; she wanted to raise her voice and fight back but she was stopped by Freddie right in time before she does something wrong.

After watching Brenda run off to her room, she moved close to Samantha and said.“ Samantha, I would let this slide this once. I'm warning you not to hurt my daughter again. I've lost my appetite ”.

With that, she ran after her daughter. not heeding the calling voice of her husband. “Come back here, Matilda! You can't walk like that ”. “Let her go. Give her some time” Grandpa Medina said.

Right then, Danica walked into the room with a gentle smile on her face as she approached Giselle. “Giselle sister, when did you come back to the manor? Oh, I heard it's anniversary today as well, happy anniversary sister.

Brother inlaw Zayn didn't come back with you?” “No, he's very busy with some work today,” Giselle said with a smile. Then the expression on her face quickly darkened as she thought of how sneaky Danica was.

She couldn't understand how a person can be so twofaced.

She appeared in front of everyone else in the entire city like a saint, who had never killed a crawling animal before but in reality, she's a vicious witch. who's having an affair with her supposed brotherinlaw despite knowing that he's married to Giselle instead.

Danica seems to know when and how to pull the strings to gain the public's sympathy.

Giselle knows all of this but she couldn't bring herself to tell her grandparents and aunt Samantha about it; she didn't want to hurt them after all they've done for her in the last couple of years.

Giselle was so lost thinking about this that she didn't realize that everyone else had sat down for lunch.

Grandma's calm voice shove her back to reality as she glanced over the table and saw that lunch has been served. “Sit down and let's have lunch, Giselle.

You need to eat a lot today after all it's your big day” Grandma said with a teasing tone, and Giselle blushed at her words. Danica was burning with anger watching all the love being poured on Giselle. she felt angered and wanted to rip Giselle apart.

How could this ugly jane be so lucky in life? She has everything that everyone else wanted. money! power! status! And even the position of young mistress of the Meyer family.

She even got married to the man she had her eyes set on for a long time and now she's been treated like a queen in front of her. Danica clenched her fists “All of these won't last for long Giselle. I won't let you take Zayn away from me.

No, after all, I have done to keep him away from you all of these years; I did everything, I won't let you ruin it.

You better enjoy everything you have now, this might be your last chance ” Danica said with a pledging tone after that a sneaky smirk appeared on her face as her gaze suddenly darkened.

Danica has always gotten whatever she desires; she's not used to accepting defeat and now that it seems that Giselle was about to gain control of Zayn right under her watch. she felt incredibly hurt that she couldn't hide her anger under the heavy makeup she wore.

After laughing for a couple of minutes, Danica threw her bag upside down and brought out her phone. “Make sure, you don't miss the target this time. other, I'll have your heads chopped off ” she yelled as soon as the phone was connected. when she was done with her call, she went into the bathroom to freshen up for her next shoot.

The living room, Everyone was done with lunch and Giselle was having a chat with her grandmother when she suddenly recalled her appointment with the doctor.

She wanted to leave immediately but she had no idea what to tell the older women so she decided to stick around for a while. while they were still talking, her phone vibrated and when she looked at the screen a look of recognition crept onto her face. “Excuse me, grandma ”. “Mrs.

Meyer, I just called call to confirm if you're still coming for your appointment with the doctor.

Since she's about to leave for an urgent if you're still coming please hurry up” The sweet voice of a polite lady rang out from the other end of the phone as soon as the call was connected. “Yes sure. I'll be there as soon as I can.

I'm sorry for the delay” Giselle said apologetically.

After the call dropped. she went back to the lavishly decorated living room to say goodbye to the old couple and her aunt, Samantha before she left for the hospital. “I'm sorry grandma, grandpa but I need to leave now. an important something just came up.

I'll come visiting as soon as I get the chance” She said placing a kiss on the old madam Medina's cheeks. Then she took her grandfather's blessing and left.

But as soon as she took a few steps, Samantha came rushing towards her with a file of documents in her hands. “I'm sorry Giselle, I know you're in a big hurry but this document needs your signature; it's very urgent.

Please read through it and sign it ”. She said handing her the file filled with several documents. which looks like it was going to take a decade reading through each page.

Stuck in a difficult position, Giselle glanced at the wristwatch on her hand and she realized that there was not enough to read the documents.

She decided to sign them without properly reading through them. moreover, her aunt Samanth, s the one asking her to sign a document, not some stranger; She trusts her aunt with everything including her life.

Seeing the hesitant look on her face, Samantha decided to persuade her by saying, “These are just some documents from the Department stores. your signature is needed to finalize things”. “all right, then.

I'll sign them now and you'll explain the details of the documents to me later, is that okay?” With that, she grabbed the pen and stamped her signature on the documents without reading through it first.

Immediately she signed on it, she scurried out of the manor. Her driver, Josh was already waiting for her by the car, and as soon as he saw her coming.

He opened the car door for her after he climbed into the driver's seat. “Take me to the hospital right now,” She said as soon as she was seated in the car. “Ma'am, is there a problem? Why do you need to go to the hospital all of a sudden?

Are you feeling unwell? He asked with a tone of concern. “Just take me there now.

I don't have much time to explain things to you. just go” The driver had a conflicted look on his face but he didn't dare to ask any more questions since he didn't want to get in trouble with the young master.

He slammed on the gas, zooming off their destination. Although Ms. Giselle is not like the arrogant young lady of other influential families, she's still being respected. Meanwhile, Josh was having double thoughts about what he should do.

A few days ago, the young master had assigned him with the responsibility of keeping him updated about the young madam's whereabouts.

He had asked him to restrict reports everything about the young madam to him, including where she does and who she meets. In the past, Zayn never used to care about her existence nor how she's faring despite being married for so long.

The young master had spent the last couple of years away from home, but suddenly he came back home and now he wants all the details about his wife to be reported to his table first thing in the morning and other things about her should be communicated to him through the phone.

The young master was never this petty, but all of a sudden! Thinking about this, Josh didn't know what to do anymore. Immediately, they got to the hospital Giselle rushed out of the car. “Congratulations Miss, You're pregnant.

You're going to have a baby soon! ” These words reverberated in her mind as she walked out of the office dejectedly. How is that even possible? how could she be possibly pregnant when she takes care of her body so well?

She has always been careful of getting pregnant, that's why she made sure to take the pills and take the measures. Then how come the doctor says she's pregnant? . If Zayn were to find out that she was pregnant.

Then, he might force her to have an abortion that's if she was truly pregnant. And she won't be able to forgive herself if anything happens to her unborn baby.

Zayn had always been warned to be careful not to get pregnant with his child since he only wanted the woman he loved, Danica to bear his children. at least that's what he used to tell her and now she's used to hearing those words from him.

Giselle tightened her grip on the reports on her hands as she continued to nurse the idea that the doctor's examination might be wrong. She hopes it would turn out negative. The doctor's examinations must be wrong in this case!

She thought With that thought in mind. She decided to go to another hospital to have the doctor's report verified again by another doctor.

Due to the unshed tears blurring her eyes, Giselle bumped into someone on her way out of the hospital. “I'm sorry, I'm sorry!” She continuously apologize as she ran out of the hospital without sparing a glance at the person she bumped into.

Meanwhile, Danica was shocked to see her at the hospital in such a short time after she left the manor. which means that she had lied about her urgency. she had told everyone that she needed to go back because she had an important to handle but she ended up coming to the hospital instead. something is fishy about her creepy moments! “I need to find what she came here for in the first place,” Danica said as her eyes darted around.

Danica had come to the hospital to have her hands stitched after she was sliced open a shard of glass earlier back at the manor.

Looking at the nameplate in from of the office that Giselle came out from, Danica took a few steps and went into the place. “I'm sorry Miss, but I can't share my client's details with you. it's against our hospital's ethics”.

The gynecologist said with a gentle voice that's laced with disdainfullness. “If you want to know anything you can ask the client directly. Please excuse me first” After saying that, she was about to ask Danica to leave.

When Danica suddenly flared up with anger scaring the woman. “How dare you talk to me in that rude manner? Do you know who am I? It seems like you're ready to kiss your job goodbye.

If you don't tell me everything I need to know about this person then I will have fired from this place, and you won't be able to get a job anywhere else in this city. I'll make of that.

That would be a lesson to you not to mess with me in the future ”. Danica said as her gaze turned dark with anger. “SShe came for a checkup ” Coming out from the third hospital she had visited in the last one hour, Giselle wore a sad look on her face.

Her eyes were tired and blurry, her legs twitched at every step she took while nails remained buried in her palms.

How could she gather the courage to tell Zayn about this child? he was going to be so mad at her for not taking good care of her body and at the very least, he would suggest she had an abortion since he believes she wasn't fit to bear his child.

With sorrow written all over her, she managed to drag her groggy body out of the hospital before she raised an alarm, and end up as the City's hot topic of gossip.

People never run out of things to gossip about, and if she became a target of their gossips then her family and business will suffer that's why she tried to stay out of the media's clangor at all times.

Zayn had never introduced her to the world as his wife neither had he given her mission to see herself as one. Today was supposed to be their third wedding anniversary, yet she's wandering in the streets all alone with no one to accompany her.

Using a veil to cover their head, she crossed to the other side of the road to board a cab. since she had sent Josh back to the blue diamond manor to avoid his constant suspicious questions. She wasn't ready to let the cat out of the bag yet. “What?

How is that even possible? Giselle can't be pregnant. You must be mistaken ”. Danica screamed out after the doctor told her about the result of Giselle's checkup. “That's what the results says” “That's fine.

I want this to be left between us; no one else should know about this. did you understand?” She threw a few bundles of cash at her. “You know what will happen if you told anyone else ”. With that, she walked away from the hospital.

After verifying the doctor's reports at different hospitals. Giselle returned home to the Blue Ridge manor wearing a gloomy expression on her face. she was saddened by the news of her pregnancy.

This might be the best news she'd received many years but the reality behind this good news is what is killing her. How is she going to face Zayn now that she has gotten herself pregnant with his child?

He'll ask her to get rid of the many if he finds out, just like he can't wait to remove her from his life.

She braces herself and pressed on the doorbell. within a few seconds, Ms.sue slide the door open with a smile. “You're back, Ma'am Giselle?” She as soon as the door was opened revealing her lean figure.

The gloomy expression on her face instantly changed into a pleasant one as she said, "Yes. I finish all of my work early. so, I thought of returning home to prepare a meal for the young master”.

She replied feigning a smile. she didn't want Ms. sue to ask her questions about her disrupted mood. otherwise, she might end up worrying about her and she would have no other choice but to tell her the whole truth.

Telling her the truth about her pregnancy would limit her chances of leaving. Ms. sue took a few steps aside to allow her into the house. when Giselle was about to return to the upstairs, Ms.

Sue scurried behind her and said.“ Young madam, Giselle, the young master had sent these over for you”. she said pointing in the direction of the table in the living room.“A delivery boy dropped by earlier to deliver these with a message that the young master instructed that it should be handed over to you specifically.

Since you were not back yet, I took them for you with so much difficulty ” She went over and return with the bags. she gave them to her.

With confusion written all over her, Giselle couldn't understand why on earth Zayn would send her such expensive gifts.“Ms.

Sue, are you it wasn't the wrong address? why would the Young master send such expensive gifts for me?” She asked, checking the package all over for a clue. her hands were shaky and doubts clung to her chest like a stubborn leech. “I'm sure Ma'am, the delivery boy had specifically mentioned your name.

I'm sure it's for you. you should check it, there should be a letter” With slow moments, she began checking the package all over. Then, her gaze fell on a bright red letter posted on the corner of the package.

She picked it up and was about to read it. Then, she recalled something. “I'll go upstairs first, Ms. Sue. I'll be back”. With that, she left the living room bearing the gifts in her bosom.

And her hands firmly holding the bag she had taken out with her. She dropped the bags on the bed, the moment she stepped into her room.

She had forgotten all about the gifts that were sent for her, so when she had set the bags on the bag. she was about to go back downstairs when her eyes fell on the bright red card, she walked over and took it.

With shaky hands, she slid the paper open. her mind was in her throat as she feared that she was going to see another name on the card instead of hers. Then, she braces herself for whatever is written in the letter.

When she glanced through it, it reads, “Get dressed and come to the venue in this card. don't keep me waiting!” Yeah. the gifts are hers!

This is how he usually talks to her and she can never forget how rude he spoke to her every time he come around to the manor. Still confused about the whole thing. Giselle decided to do as he had said in his letter.

She glanced at her wristwatch and saw that the time was fast spent. it was already 6:00 pm, and she was to be at the venue by 7:30 pm. She still had about an hour to get ready. She rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower.

While taking her clothes off, her eyes darted around the entire room as she tries to memorize every cranny of the room. This place has been her secret haven for the past three years.

It's her favorite place of warmth and pillow for her tears, but very soon, she's going to give up everything and go away.

Leaving is only the way to save her baby as well as release herself from the clutch of being married to a man, who didn't love and might never love her in the future. After spending three lonely years in this room, she has become a master of her art.

The decorative figure of her world and the designer of her dreams. Each corner of the room screams her presence. her favorite things are all allocated in here.

She's a huge lover of art, so there are many artworks from local designers across the country.

She always buys her favorite artworks from the local designers because she believes that this group of people put their hearts into creating this piece of work.

Not for the sake of money but for the sake of the emotions embedded in their hearts while doing it. At the entrance to the room, hung a huge wedding frame with both of them as the muse.

In this picture was wearing a very bright smile that almost revealed all of her teeth, while Zayn on the other hand looked gloomy. his expression was dark, sad, and wary. Anyone would come to know the reasons for this with just a glance at the frame.

He didn't want to get married to her! Giselle was so happy getting married to the man she had loved all her life that she didn't realize that he was not going to treat her well in the future. In front of the dressing, was her few makeups kits.

She doesn't like applying makeup but after she got married she wanted to look good for Zayn, maybe he would consider her worthy of him.

On the bedside, were the wedding gifts. she had received from both her grandparents and grandpa Meyer three years ago. she kept them safe for the future when he might decide to get married to Danica instead.

She knew both families are not going to accept this, and might never give them their blessings she thought that these gifts would serve as a sign of their blessings in the future.

There were so many things to be memorized if she was going to think about everything right now. Then, she's going to be very late and Zayn might get married to her for this. Just like the last time, he took her to a business meeting.

She messed everything up and was humiliated in front of everyone.

Even Danica was also present at this meeting unable to control her body movement after seeing how her husband was getting too close to Danica without sparing any oita of respect for her. She became tumultuous and ended up making a fool put of herself.

Back then, She had unintentionally spilled a cup of hot coffee on a business associate which led to the deal being canceled.

When they arrived back home, Zayn was so mad at her that he said so many hurtful things to her. “You're inexplicably foolish enough to be called the leader of the fools.

You don't have anything to contribute to my life, if you don't want to see me mad, please don't make it difficult for me to show my face to the world”.

He had said that to her in anger. after that night, he didn't return him until the night before yesterday.

He was ashamed to take her anywhere with him since he thought she wasn't good enough to stand beside him And most times, he questioned she was given half of the family inheritance instead of Danica, who he believes is better in all ramifications than her.

Danica is beautiful with brains. She's gorgeous and smart; not only is she smart but cunning to the core. This is one of the qualities, Zayn had failed to identify in her. Snapping back to reality, Giselle heaved a big sigh of relief as she thought.

All of these are going to be over soon! I just need to finish with the anniversary then I will go away from their lives forever with my baby, I ain't going to let him know about the baby.

The sound of her phone ringing made her abandon her thoughts and go to pick the call. “Ma'am, the client has sent over the contract for the new fashion store. I've had it sent over to your house.

You should check on it first”. “I will do that as soon as I was done with my work here. don't worry I'll get back to you after reviewing the contract”. it was a call from her assistant at the Medina Corporation, Alicia.

After the call dropped, Giselle rushed to the bathroom and came back within a few minutes. Then, she proceeds to get dressed in the black evening gown with a touch of shiny diamond studded in the dress.

This dress is from the new collection of Grandex collections, there are only ten of this dress in the world and it was recently launched just yesterday. how would zayn have gotten his hands on this dress in such a short time?  or the question should be why would he get them for me?

According to the report released by the head of fashion commerce during the annual meeting a few days ago, the dress was worth at least 30 million.

Not that he can't afford to lavish 30 million on what he sets his eyes but how could he do that for her? The more she thought about it, the more complicated the entire facade becomes.

She looked into the bag and found high shoes from the same company and the shoes looked like it was specially made for a goddess.

The shoe was in sliver color with diamondstudded in each corner of the lines that appear to the eyes. about 30 pieces of diamond were instilled in the shoe during the making process.

It is the highestselling fashion item in the entire country, and not everyone is allowed to own a pair of these fancy shoes. How come she's so lucky? is he trying to buy me off before he sent me away? is that his plan then?

Giselle is a huge fan of fashion since she loves to create designs but she didn't want to get so obsessed with this item that's why she prefers to live a simple life.

After bringing out the items from the bag, she got dressed and apply a little bit of makeup to make a difference; she didn't want Zayn to feel any worse for bringing them out today.

Meanwhile, in an exclusive Presidential villa of the best hotels in the city. Danica was seated with a glass of wine in her hand while someone was giving her a head massage. She was about to take a sip from her glass when a call came into her phone.

A look of recognition from crept onto her face and she smiled. “Privacy!” when she said that. the lady left the room almost instantly. “Miss Medina, the packages have been delivered to the address just as you instructed ”.

A deep voice of a man could be heard from the other end of the line. ”Good. You'll get the rest of your money just now. And yes, make sure to seal your lips In the future, I don't want you anywhere in Orange city or even Bay city at all”.

With that, the call dropped.

So now, it will be up to me to decide if you'll be alive to show off the dress Zayn got you or you're taking it along with you to your end! she thought to her with her lips curving into a sneaky smile. “Get my dress ready ” She instructed her assistant over the phone.

Then, she moved close to the outside of the city looking out through the balcony of the room she's staying at.

This place was where she used to spend some time with Zayn back then, during this time she tried everything she could to make Zayn make love to her, she even went as far as begging him but his mind was always in a daze when they make a move toward that.

He was always thinking about the wrong he was doing to her. Even though he treated her cruelly when she's in front of him, he respects her when she's not there to see.

This attitude of his has angered Danica so much that she wanted to hurt Giselle so badly. I'm finally going to have everything all to myself now, everything you had and everyone that had your back.

I'm going to do such a thing that it'll be very difficult to overlook your needs. “So it's decided. The new branch of Meyer hotels will handle the projects along with the Capitol Builders. I want to see how capable they can be at this time.

Make sure not to mess things up”. “We won't sir!” in the large conference hall of the Meyer Group of companies ,Zayn was in the middle of a meeting when he suddenly raised his wrist to look at the time. “So that would be all for today”.

He said dismissively. Just as the meeting came to an end, his personal assistant stood up and left after him. “President Meyer, You still have a meeting with the head of the departments at 7:00pm.

Another meeting with the Cellular Corporation by 10:00, That would after your dinner date with Mrs Meyer”. Gael read the schedules to him while running hard to catch up with him.

Then , he suddenly came to a stop when Giselle's name was mentioned. “Cancel my other meetings for today. I don't want to see anyone else today”. “Yes, President Meyer” With that settled. he strode away without waiting for any explanation.

Gael, on the other hand was stunned by this. Until yesterday, Zayn had never cared about the existence of this woman, how come he's suddenly so ready to give up billions of dollars for her take?

I must be imagining things or did president Meyer really cancel all of his meetings? This is impossible but he actually did!

Coming out of the bedroom after getting dressed in the expensive collection sent by Zayn, Giselle looked nervous as her legs wobbled against the floor of the staircase.

As soon as she step into the living room, she was welcomed by the admirable gaze of Ms. Sue. The gaze that fell on her was filled with love and respect.

She was marveled by how beautiful Giselle was after getting dressed. “You're so pretty Ma'am Giselle. You look like a reflection of the goddess on earth.

I'm sure the young master is going to fall in love with you as soon as he sees you in this dress”. Ms. Sue said with one of her hands crossing over her lip. while she tugs on Giselle with the other of her hands.

Giselle blushed at her words but deep down, she knew Zayn might feel the same as Ms. sue and that hurt her heart deeply. I wish Zayn would feel the way you feel even if just once.

Just as they were talking, they heard a car honking outside bringing them back to reality. “I'll go take a look outside, maybe the driver has arrived to take you. Just have a seat, let me see who it is first”.

With that, she left the living room in high air while still wearing a smile due to the reflection of happiness in her heart. When she got to the entrance to the manor. She was baffled by what she saw.

In front of the house was a stretched Lamborghini which seemingly looked like it was waiting for the arrival of a president. Not only that, standing beside the car was a chauffeur dressed in an allblack suit.

He looked very well dressed, young, and very active. The Lamborghini was the same color as the luxurious dresses that Giselle was wearing right now. It has the same color with a few ribbons and flowers decorating it making it look extremely stunning.

While on the other hand, he was holding a bouquet. The bouquet was filled with white roses and lilies; these are Giselle's favorite flowers. She spent hours cultivating and watering these flowers when she's not at work or busy with anything.

On the other side of the entrance to the mansion was a flower garden with different beautiful flowers springing out from inside. Which makes the appearance of the entire manor delightful.

She started growing these flowers as soon as she got married into the family and she came to live with Zayn three years ago. Her presence in the house has changed a lot of things and Ms. Sue especially is grateful for them.

But how did Zayn know of these things that she liked? he's the man that never careers about her existence .so,? He never knew how she has been faring in the last three years, not until the night before yesterday. Upon seeing all of these, Ms.

Sue found it difficult to believe that all of these is happening right in front of her. wait! am I imagining things or are these happening? first, a box of expensive clothes was sent here not long ago and now even a Lamborghini is stretched out here!

Or could it be that he didn't get the address right? I should ask him. Walking close to the entrance. Ms. Sue asked with a smile on her face.“Are you looking for someone? did you come to pick up Mrs.

Meyer?” “The young master asked that I bring Mrs.................. Meyer to the venue. Please call her it's almost time” The chauffeur replies politely. After hearing what he said. Ms.

Sue couldn't hold back her thoughts.   what? he sent a chauffeur to pick up miss Giselle? when did all of these happen or am I still in my dream World?

The young master never used to care about the young madam until now and suddenly he's being so kind towards her!

I'm glad he came to his senses before it was too late. now, that wretched girl will not have a chance to ruin things for them again once they come together.

I can't wait to see the reaction on her face when she heard Zayn sent a brand new car to pick up for the dinner date. “Just wait here mister. I'll go get the young madam just now”. With that, she scurried into the house without looking back.

Meanwhile, Zayn was reclining in his chair in the office with a box of jewelry in his hands. he was looking at the diamondstudded ring that he held while staring at the circle part of the ring.

The ring belonged to pearl jewelry; it is the most expensive jewelry set in the country. it was very hard to be obtained, also it not available for purchase since its being strictly made for just a few couples of powerful in the country.

Zayn wanted to give this ring to Giselle during their anniversary dinner tonight since he was the one that took away the diamond ring that they had exchanged during their wedding back then.

The rings were gifts from Grandpa Meyer but he didn't want to see her with the ancestral jewelry of the Meyer family so he took it away and gave it away to Danica.

Just a few nights ago he took the rings back from Danica, but he thought they were now substandard.

As he was lost in thought staring at the piece of gem. a soft and loud was heard from the door outside then, the door was slid open and his secretary, Sofia, came into the room with a bunch of files in her hands. “Excuse me, President Meyer”. she said before dropping them on the table In front of him. “These are the contract files from the Blue Ridge projects, please read through them and sign on them as soon as you can, President Meyer”. “oh, and the project manager from the first branch wants to have a meeting with you on Monday.

I'll leave now ”. She dropped the file and left. Just as she was about twisting the knob of the door, Zayn called out to her. “Gael isn't here yet. Are all the arrangements for the venue done yet?” “All the arrangements have been taken care off.

I took care of it myself, and Gael went out to an important meeting which you did ask him to go to in your place. Please enjoy your night sir”. “It's fine Miss Miller, you can go I'll handle things on my own ”. “okay.

Thank you, President Meyer, enjoy your time”. With that, she left the building. it already past the close hour and they was only a few people at the office now.

The people left at the office at this time were those working overtime and others are the guards, who are on night shifts. Staring at her reflection in front of the dressing mirror.

Danica wore a crushed expression as she continued to look at the face in the mirror.

Different thoughts ran through her mind as she sat there. how could zayn or even anyone at that look over her and choose a plain can't like Giselle instead? zayn used to drool over her so much, he doted on like she was his life.

For the last three years, he promised to stand for her and protect them and he has been doing so until now, but suddenly he took back the ring that he gave her as a token of his love, and now he even organized an anniversary dinner for Giselle.

Who'll accept that,? Not only is she the most beautiful girl in the city center. she's also has a successful career and in the eyes of the people, she can do no wrong at all.

The support of the entire city has been her strength all these years and her relationship with Zayn was her stepping stone, what will happen if she loses all of them at once? “Ma'am, I'm sure sir Zayn is going to fall madly in love with you once he sees you in this dress and makeup.

You look so stunning, oh my goodness I can't how gorgeous you look!” Her assistant Rebecca, who had been standing behind her all this while exclaimed after seeing how beautiful her makeup is. But, Danica seemingly didn't hear what she said.

Suddenly, there was a clatter of objects to the floor.

Things were sent renting in the air before the assistant could understand what was happening. “No! this can't be, I can't all lose them because of you bitch!” She exclaimed, throwing all of the makeup items on the table to the floor.

Her movement was so quick and suddenly that the makeup artist didn't get a chance to control her hands, due to her involuntarily actions, All of a sudden, Danica turned around to look at the assistant behind her with a look of disbelief with anger in her eyes.

Her sudden movement startled the makeup artist; as her hands trembled. The lip brush left a bloodred lipstick mark on the corner of Danica's mouth.

The makeup artist hurriedly apologizes saying .“ I'm sorry, I didn't mean it......” Danica snatch the lip brush out of the makeup artist's hand and tossed it to the floor roughly. She snapped,” Where did you find this person?

She doesn't even know how to apply makeup!

Do you want to be fired?”. “Get out of my sight. get out!!!” At the sight of this scene, John – her talent manager– immediately apologize to Danica while shooting a glare at the makeup artist, who then gritted her teeth and left the dressing room with a look of grievance. “You need to calm down Miss Danica, worrying will not solve anything. you should just be ready and get there before she does.

That's the only way now”. Her assistant said. after he saw that there was a sense in whatever she had said she curved her lips into a smile.

I shouldn't let this bother me at all. it's her moment before I take back my rights! “I'll call for the makeup artist now”. Giselle held tightly onto the hem of her dress as she was being escorted by Ms. Sue to the car parked in front of the mansion.

She was all smiles as she recalled what Ms. Sue had told her earlier, if they all tried then she would still be happy leaving unless Zayn stopped her in person.

Just then, her hand landed on her abdomen and she closed her eyes relishing the joy of the moment as she felt a little life growing inside of her.

Even if there was no other reason to live life anymore, but she would still live for the sake of the child she's carrying.

Zayn might never accept her and Danica might pose as a villain to the birth of a child– she didn't want anything to happen to the child – or even let Zayn get wind of it. “Hey Giselle, are you going to get in the car or will you stay stuck in your daze, huh?” Ms.

Sue snapped her fingers at her face and she jerked out of her daze with a smile. “This way ma'am” The chauffeur led the way to the opened door.“Please be careful, sir doesn't want anything to happen with you” He further commented with a serious expression.

Giselle was startled for a moment. “huh?” “Get in the car, Giselle.

You're running out of time”. with that, she forced herself into the car .but she couldn't ward the thoughts off from her mind. “I'll be leaving first Ms.Sue, please take care of the house while I'm away from the night ” “I will. you shouldn't worry about anything around here” with that being said. she bid goodbye to Giselle and went back into the manor to continue her work.

Meanwhile, on the way to the venue.

Giselle was feeling very restless as she couldn't seem to understand everything seems strange to her.   why does it feel like there is an abyss of hell on my path and I can't seem to figure out which way! it's might be the baby playing a trick on my mind.

She thought as she thought of forgetting everything else and focusing on the joy of the moment; she's finally going to have a private dinner with Zayn.

At the resorts, Zayn just arrived at the hotel. he was feeling sweaty after his longdistance drive due to the huge traffic on the way. when he got to the garden, where he had made a reservation.

He met a waiter setting the table and serving the drinks. he went ahead and grabbed a glass of water and filled it down.

He decided to have the garden space since he learned that Giselle loved nature so much and loves having her free time spent watching the beautiful state of nature.

Although he has never really paid attention to all of her activities in the last three years, he got someone to keep him updated about her.

Zayn was nervous since he has decided to let go of his relationship with Danica and start afresh with Giselle instead; he had concluded that the only way that he could make a change is by letting Danica go now.

After gulping down the glass of water, he took another one with extra ice and did the same thing.

When he noticed that the waiter had finished serving the drinks and setting the table, but he was still standing a few steps away from the table, he divided to send them away with the wave of the hand.

Immediately, he waved his hands, they picked up the signal and dispersed further away from the table and went back to do other things while wanting from any other that might come to his table.

Zayn loosened the tight hold of his tie a bit and then stay back on his chair.

Just when he was finally feeling a little bit at ease, he suddenly felt that he saw the silhouettes of a familiar figure darting over him, but his mind was so clouded that he didn't want to pay much attention to it; he wanted to wave it aside and stop it from disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of his mind, but when the familiar voice of the woman rang into his ears he was forced to look up at the figure standing before him in an exquisite nightdress. “What are you doing here, Danica? didn't I say that it was over for us?” “I know you did but I'm just here to tell you an important matter.

Please listen to me first, then you can decide what to do”

“I warned you to stay away from here. Why did you come to a place where Giselle will be coming? are you courting death?

Zayn further asked as his eyes turned dark thinking about how she had defiled his orders. “I just wanted to tell you something important. I thought maybe, you wouldn't mind me coming over since we've been here together before.

Moreover, I had a shoot at the area and I saw you standing here all by yourself, I thought maybe you were waiting to give me a surprise ”. Danica said with a gentle tone which makes her look pitiful.

Zayn was running out of patience staring at her pretentious face. “Couldn't you have waited for me until another day? did you plan to ruin this moment?

How dare you do this! ” Zayn yelled then he moved to grab hold of her neck, but his hands were left hanging in the midair when he heard the words that came out from her the next second. “I'm pregnant, Zayn!” The atmosphere of the environment suddenly went from zero to a thousand Celsius.

Suddenly, Zayn felt sweat beard forming on his forehead as he tried to take in what Danica had just said. “I'm pregnant, I'm carrying our child” She moved close to him and wanted to hug him but she was stopped by his words. “Are you pulling some strings?

You know what I'll do if I learn that you're faking all of these”.

Glancing at the entrance to the private garden, Danica wanted to be sure that Giselle was close enough to hear what she was about to say before she spoke up. “How could you think that I'll think of deceiving you?

The last time we met you were so drunk that you couldn't control yourself and we ended up spending the night in each other's arms. Moreover, I heard you knew about it, and that was the reason why you organize this dinner date.

You wanted to tell Giselle about our baby, right? You don't have to be embarrassed, I'm sure Giselle will understand that we love each other so much and our baby is going to unite everyone ”.

With her legs wobbling and her hands wiggling vigorously, Giselle took a few steps backward as she struggled to maintain her balance. Upon hearing what Danica just said to Zayn, she was watered down with sadness.

Suddenly, a single drop of tears fell from the corners of her eyes and found its way down to her neck.

Feeling annoyed as well as sad for herself. she couldn't help but let her imaginations run through the deeds of his days, “Oh so this the reason why you were acting all nice to me all of a sudden? you wanted to make me look like the bad guy here and pretend to everyone that you took care of me all along!

I can't believe how low you two can stoop to get your hands on me. I'm going to go away from your lives now, and I'm never coming. Also, you won't get to know about my child.

Just as she snapped out of her thoughts she heard Danica saying, “You didn't do anything wrong Zayn. You bought her all the luxuries she needed and even put up with her folly for three years.

Moreover, I'm the one you love, and you're doing this for me and our baby. When she comes here just tell her the truth and also, make her sign the divorce papers and get rid of her as soon as possible ”.

After saying this. she leaped up and hugged him.

Giselle bites on her lips bitterly as she heard her say these words. what hurt her more was the fact that Zayn, who never allowed her to say one word in front of him was quiet and listened to everything she said with question or explanation.

Sad seeing this fold right in front of her, She felt pathetic. although, she knew that Zayn wasn't aware of her presence she wanted him to fight for her. With one swift movement, she picked up the hem of the expensive nightgown that she was wearing.

Without looking back, she ran out of the garden in tears. Seeing this, Danica coiled the corners of her thin lips into a dirty smirk as she watched Giselle running out of the private garden in tears.

Do you think you're going to have him after learning about your pregnancy? Well, sorry to burst your bubbles but I'm still not done with him yet. so, how can you now have him?

This is just the beginning, wait for the real deal, and don't blame me for being hard on you, after all,l,l, I warned you about it previously. She tightened her arms around Zayn's neck as she thought about this.

Feeling suffocated by her, Zayn tried to free himself from her grip. after pulling for a few seconds the tight grip around his neck was finally let loose.

He was so angry that he felt like giving her a slap across the face but then, he recalled that she was allegedly pregnant with his child.

To be honest, Zayn had decided to start thinking about a child when he finally got back together with Giselle. how was he to know that all of his dreams were going to be shattered in one night?

He thought he was done with Danica but now the child will force them back together. “Are you crazy? How could you grab me like that in a place like this? Are you feeding food to the Hawks ?” Zayn yelled as his face turned dark.

The bright light that was shining brightly in his eyes earlier while he was awaiting Giselle was suddenly by a dark fog. “I'm not feeding food to the hawks. I'm just happy we're finally going to get married.

I mean when everyone learns about this ”. “What the hell are you mumbling about? do you even realize what you're trying to do right now? Zayn was already irritated by her and wasn't going to allow her any chance to continue speaking.

While listening to Zayn speak in such a harsh tone. she secretly prayed that Giselle didn't hear all that he had said at least that way her mission would accomplish. “I know this is so sudden, but we're going to be there for it. you promised me, remember?” “Danica, you should go home right now.

I'll see you after dinner. You shouldn't be seen with me on a day like this”. He spoke gently with his voice devoid of emotion. He wanted to force her away as he constantly glanced at his wristwatch. She'll be here soon.

I can't let her see this! , he thought to himself. While the atmosphere in the environment continuously rise, Danica kept staring at Zayn with admiration as she nodded her head understandingly. “I understand, Zayn. I'll leave first.

You should carry on and ill wait for you at home then”. After saying that, she clung to the edge of her long evening gown with a sexy backside and walked away from his gaze.

She had just taken a few steps away from him when she heard him call out to her.

With her lips twitched into a sneaky smile. she thought I knew it! you can't afford to let me go now. with a slow and steady movement, she turned around to glance at Zayn.

The sneaky expression on her face is now replaced with a sad expression; She looked as if she was going to lose it if nothing is done–color was drained from her face and she constantly wiped her eyes with one of her hands.

Looking pathetic, she wanted to ask questions but Zayn beat her to it. “When did you learn about this? “Huh?” Danica was startled by this and she couldn't come up with the right answer in time but she managed to scale up. “mmm, I mean just a couple of hours ago.

I had an accident during my shoot so that was why I was taken to the hospital and the doctor's reports proved it ” Danica replied meticulously.“Here, I have the doctor reports With me, have a look at it” Immediately she finished saying these words, she dipped her hand into her handbag and brought out a sheet of paper that looks like a medical report, and handed it over to him.

Zayn glanced at it for a few minutes and looked up at her. Then, he said, “You can leave now”. She hurriedly stomped out of the private garden. it was only when she got to the entrance that she calmed down and heaved a big sigh of relief.

That was a close call! I would have been caught up with you if I hadn't made arrangements beforehand. She dipped her into her purse and brought out her phone. “Have you seen the target? don't let her out of your sight.

Make sure she doesn't get to escape at all at all cost ”. She instructed as soon as the call was connected. Now, let's see how you're going to react if you learn about what I'm going to do with your dear Giselle. it's goodbye Zayn from Giselle!! haha!

Zayn looked pale after reading through the report letter; he was saddened by the sudden of the baby he was expecting with Danica. how could this happen, now that he wanted to tell Giselle that he has fallen for her? he wanted to build a beautiful home with Giselle, and now the mistake of the past is catching up with him.

Giselle must be heartbroken if she was to find that he had finally gotten Danica pregnant despite being married to her instead. She was already too frail from being dumped like trash in the past. how will she handle things like this now?

Just as he was thinking about this with the pregnancy reports in his hands his assistant Gael arrived, his gaze was covered with a dark fog and the veins on his forehead popped out. “President Meyer, here are the details...” upon seeing the dark cloud that covered his usual cold face, Gael was caught off guard and his words were left hanging in the air He didn't dare to say any more words as he hung his head in the air staring directly onto the floor. “Have you checked on Giselle? how close is she?” He asked without raising his brows. “I'll go back and check on her first” Gael left immediately.

Zayn stared after his departing silhouettes and felt a gush of pain over his heart. Only if he had another chance to make things better, then he might be worthy of a virtuous woman like Giselle.

Drenched in her tears mixed with sweat, Giselle kept running along the way after coming out of the hotel. The chauffeur that had picked her up was nowhere to be seen.

He must have left after dropping her off at the hotel earlier, but there was something off about how he was acting; he seems to be watching her every move while they were on their way to the private garden, but she thought she was thinking too much about it but his sudden disappearance says a lot about how she felt about him.

After trying severally to get a cab and none was forthcoming, she decided to walk. Running along the way with her long gown trailing behind her. Giselle was as red as a beetroot from crying. She couldn't believe those two would do this to her.

She had wanted to leave all on her own, She didn't expect that those two would make her look like a fool in front of the whole world after everything she's been through because of them. You guys didn't have to rub it on me.

You should behave robbed your infidelity right in my face. I was going to go away from your lives and give chance for your love to see the light of the day, you shouldn't have done this to force me out of your lives, Zayn.

I'm going away from your lives forever, you won't get to see me or my many ever again but just remember one thing I'm not going to let you off the hook in the future; I'll make you two pay for your sins against me!

With these thoughts in mind, her determination was affirmed as she tried to stop her tears from falling off. I won't cry. those two don't deserve my tears, and I won't let them go to waste because of them.

They'll pay for every pain I'm feeling right now.

No matter how hard she tried to stop herself to stop her heart from feeling bad about what she heard the saying, she still couldn't bring herself to overlook the pain that well up like a lump in her heart.

Not only that, Grandma and grandpa Medina might not be able to overcome this if they get wind of it. Danica has always been a pretentious witch in front of the whole world.

To the whole world, she was nothing but a hardworking angel; who is trying to make a name for herself without anyone's support, whereas she was the painted bad guy who owes everything she as to the family inheritance.

Back then, Danica had used the pity card on the public and tried to accuse her.

With all that has happened in the last couple of hours, she felt pathetic knowing that she has not done anything to save her marriage from the clutches of a woman like Danica–This is because she had initially thought that Danica loved Zayn as much or even more than she could ever love him but it's all turned out to be a big joke when she heard Danica and her friends talking.

She tried telling Zayn about but each time she has pushed aside for trying to cause friction in their relationship.

Danica had exhausted all the schemes she had up her sleeves to ruin the marriage of her sister, Giselle, but Giselle on the other hand tried to his her bad deed from everyone; she thought that everyone would be disappointed if they were to know about this. aunt Samantha has been so good to me– she even raised me all these years. how can  I bring myself to tell her what Danica did?

She might die of pain, I can't do this to her. she nodded her head exasperatedly. Just as she was lost in thought, her mind was suddenly brought out of trance when she heard a car pulling to a stop beside her.

As soon as the car stopped, two men – who had black masks drained over their head down to their face jumped out of the vehicle and tries to push her into the van; but she was quick enough.

She ran toward the head bridge while the men raced after her angrily. Their movements were like those of a group of people whose lives depended on a mission like that one. It seemed like a doordie affair for them seeing how hard they ran after her.

“President Meyer, I just finished speaking with Ms. Sue. she said that the young mistress left the house about an hour ago, She isn't back home nor is she here at the hotel”.

Gael reported after going out for a couple of minutes. zayn was startled upon hearing what his assistant, Gael, had said.

How could she not be at the hotel after leaving the house one hour ago? did something happen on her way here, is that why she's not here yet? Zayn was lost in thought thinking of what could have possibly happened to Giselle.

Giselle is not the type of woman that goes late for an appointment, especially when it is an important occasion like theirs. wedding anniversary dinner; she wouldn't want to give Zayn a reason to be mad at her as the last time. “Also, I just got the news that the Chauffer that was supposed to pick her up earlier came back to this hotel and left a few minutes later”. “Could it be that Mrs.

Meyer had come to the hotel and left immediately after?” Gael asked, waddling after Zayn as he made to step out of the private garden.

When the words that Gael had said got into his ears, he suddenly came to a stop with disbelief tottering in his eyes. With a swift movement, he turned around to face Gael, who had stopped talking after seeing the darkened expression on his face.

He didn't dare to say anything else as he waited for the young master to digest. “What did you just say? Giselle was at the hotel but she left soon after that?

How is even possible? ” “President Meyer, I'm not saying that she was at the hotel, I just said that the chauffeur came to the hotel earlier and left soon after ” “I don't have any time for the basic assumption.

I just want you to find out where Giselle is at this moment. get to work and better come back with the details”. Zayn said with a cold tone without raising his voice. But Gael got the hint and immediately left without saying a word.

That woman definitely can't be so unruly to go against the time frame I gave her. He glared at his wristwatch as he made it to leave the private garden.

After taking a few steps forward to go, he felt his leather shoes relinquishing on a hard object; the object was tugging hardly to the sole of his shoe and he had no choice but to bent over and have a look.

Immediately, he yanked off the object from the sole of his shoe. A look of recognition crept onto his face and he was bewildered. An earring!! It was the same piece of jewelry that he has brought from the Pearl jewelry.

When buying the jewelry earlier, he had specifically asked that the jewelry he wanted should be of a limited edition; the ornaments were specially customized for him and only he has this specific collection of the jewelry– it can't be found anywhere else.

He had asked his secretary, Sofia, to have the earrings and necks sent over to the house while he held on to the rings. But how come the earrings are lying on the floor right in of the entrance to the private garden.

The earrings wouldn't come there on their own, right? someone must have dropped it there. could it be true that Giselle had come to the garden earlier? if she'd come then, why did she leave without coming over to the table? oh no!

I hope she didn't hear Danica and Me talking earlier. if she had come about ten minutes earlier then it's possible that she heard everything we talked about. “Sir, someone is waiting for you in the lobby.

Please come with me”. it was the hotel's waitress. Zayn snapped back to see the young woman standing before him with her head lowered and her lips twitching slightly.

This is not the time to have a meeting with anyone. he needed to find Giselle first. “Who is it?” “He didn't say his name sir” He was about to refuse but on second thought, he went outside with her. “Let's go”. “Miss, I think the young master has realized that Giselle was at the hotel earlier.

He just found a piece of her jewelry in the garden just now. What should I do?”. “You're so useless. I told you not to leave any clues behind, right? you were supposed to clean after her but you couldn't do that as well. hopeless.

Don't worry about doing anything, just make sure that he doesn't see you anywhere close to him”. “I understand, ma'am”. “I'll have someone handle it. just leave the hotel at this point”. With that, the phone was disconnected.

Then, she wore a frown as she waited for the phone to connect once more. “Have you got the girl? what? no? you better make sure you don't lose sight of her. She shouldn't escape at all cost, I don't care how you handle it”.

After the call ended, Danica held her head and screamed in anger while sitting in the car. why is it so difficult to get rid of a bratty pest like Giselle? she's just a goodfornothing piece of trash but she's giving me so little peace of mind. no matter what you do, I won't spare you nor give you a chance to come close anymore. “ Take me to the blue ridge mansion right now”.

She ordered and the driver slammed on the gas almost immediately. why are all these people after me? who did I offend? I haven't done anything so why would anyone want to hurt me like this? am I going to die like this? what would happen to my baby?

I can't let anything happen to my child. she hasn't even been born to talk more of experiencing the joy of coming into this world, how then could I allow her to die along with me? No!!

Different thoughts kept running through her mind as she kept running along to the wilderness of the night. The more she ran, the more difficult it becomes to hide away from the eyes of her pursuers.

It was getting hard for her to run on her heels since her legs has begun to hurt very much, but she couldn't dare to spare a few minutes to pull them off– it was as if they were going to get to her any minute now if she were to stop for a while.

She kept running as fast as her legs could carry while one of her hands was pressed against her stomach as she feared for the child in her womb.

The men chasing after her were getting angrier as she had refused to slow down at the pace she was going– They thought she was going to get weary of running soon but to their utmost surprise, she was going to give up anytime soon.

What is more, is the fact that the boss kept calling to urge them on.

If they were to fail in capturing the girl then, they might as well die in her place the boss wasn't going to spare any of them for being so negligible. “Go after her! don't let her out of your sight! “We can't afford to let her slip out of our hands this time, she needs to die, we need to make sure she does! the voice rang out through her mind as she runs for her dear life in the middle of the night. she ran as fast as she could but they soon– They kept running faster.

Danica has always done whatever she threatens to do, so the thugs were very scared of making her mad. She wouldn't think twice about it. Ms. Sue constantly paced around the living room while dialing Giselle's phone number.

The phone rang continuously but she wouldn't pick up the phone.

After trying the phone many times and it wasn't picked up, she began to panic as she was scared that something bad had happened to her on her way to the hotel – after the call, she received from the young Master's assistant, Gael, her fears had heightened up greatly.

Just as she was still dialing the number, she heard a loud knock on the door, and she was startled immediately.      why would anyone knock at the door instead of using the doorbell?  she thought as she went to open the door.

As soon as she slide the door open, she felt a black cloth covering her eyes, and she blackout immediately while putting up a fight with the people. Unfortunately, she couldn't see who the people were and most importantly, what they want from her.

Meanwhile, Giselle had run out of energy to continue running away from the men chasing after her. After getting to the end of the road, she swerved around to a hidden corner to find a place to hide her head.

Just as she stepped to the other side, she was stunned by the sight before her. There was a cliff!!

Now, she's stuck between the devil and the red sea; there was no way out for her here as she froze in her spot while moving backward fearfully. “Look who we have right here. it's the princess!!!”

“Look who we have right here! it's the princess who has finally come to a dead” One of the men said laughing sarcastically while moving toward her at a slow pace while Giselle continuously moved backward. “How do you think, you could evade us with your tiny figure? how dare you make us chase after you for so long?” Another man from the group said as he yanked forward in his long legs which sent shudders of shivers down Giselle's mind.

Her legs were shuddering as she moved back to avoid being dashed over by the men after her. With shaky lips, she questioned and said.“Who are you people? what do you want from. e? I haven't done anything to any of you, then why are you going after me?

I don't even know who are you. Please don't hurt me, please”. After hearing the question she had posed at them.

They all burst out laughing hard. “You haven't done anything to us initially but after now, you did something very bad and you're going to pay for every bit of it. You wretched homewrecker”. “Do you think. This is the time to crack jokes with her?

Do your job, you fools”.

While they were conversing with Giselle. they heard a loud hoarse voice from behind; the voice seemed like the person was in a bad mood and didn't have time for silliness. “Please sir, don't hurt me”. “I'm, not Jesus Christ that saves people.

I am incarnate of the devil, and my job is to kill who needs to be killed”. After saying these words. he pointed his gun directly at her without waiting for more arguments from the young fragile woman. As he was about to pull the trigger.

He heard the wailing voice of the woman pleading. “Please, don't kill me.

I'm pregnant!!!” Nevertheless, he had already pulled the trigger and the bullet was on its way to the woman's heart– it was not their thing to kill a pregnant woman but in this case, they were helpless. “You all know what the rules are.

We don't have anything against innocent unborn kiddos, didn't you all understand it?” “We did boss, but we didn't know she was pregnant” They tried to defend themselves while shuddering in fear. “ But on second thought, I did you a favor, you know. now you'll have all the time in the world to take care of your unborn child in the other world.

What a perfect solution I have for you. You were going to die anyway”. He said looking pitifully at the young fraillooking woman who laid in the pool of her blood grasping for life.

She looked weak and struggled to catch her breath after the bullet had hit her– Blood kept oozing out of her wound profusely.

Her forehead was covered with sweat while her face was covered with tears– her hands were wrapped around her belly while feeling the child inside of her.

The men surrounding had a look of satisfaction on their faces upon seeing her struggling for breath– it was not easy getting rid of a woman like her; she was one lucky girl. after trying to get to her so many times, they finally got her and now she's lying in her blood. she must have run out of luck after being lucky for so long. “Boss, don't you think we should inform them about the outcome? they must be so eager to find out what happened to her after she had escaped severally”.

One of the boys winked at him while he nodded his head while looking in the pale woman's direction. Her eyes were closed and it seemed like she had passed due to the loss of too much. “That sounds like a good idea.

The young master must be so anxious to know if his wife is dead so that he could marry his other woman instead. it's not a bad idea to give him a call though”.

After saying that, be began to dial the number. “I'm even feeling pity for this woman right here. how could she fall in love with a man that could order her to be put to death? She's so unfortunate. Now, she had to lose her life.

Poor thing”. “She unlucky at this point ” They kept throwing harsh words at her while she pretended to have blacked out but the truth is she could hear everything they said. “Boss, you should put it on loudspeakers, it will save you the stress later” Immediately the call got connected.

She heard a familiar voice from the other end of the phone and her heart tweaked at the certainty of the voice. “Hello, Miss Samantha, I just called to inform you that we got the target. The princess is dead.

She's lying right here in the pool of her blood with her eyes closed in death. what a poor soul!! Ma'am Danica must be happy right now as well as the young master, right?” “You finally got the wrenched of a girl? You finally did your job right.

Now, make sure you finish her off without leaving any trace behind nor to me or my daughter, got that? “Yes ma'am, I understand everything. can you put the young master on phone?

The poor woman doesn't believe that the love of her life would do such a thing to her, so I want to hear his voice while she's on her way to the other world, at least she deserves that much for spending three years, right?” The man asked sarcastically while his eyes were filled with a dirty smirk that makes him look like a heartless devil incarnate like he had called himself. “Of course, of course. at least, I could do this much for my foolish and naive daughter, who couldn't decipher between those who loved her and who wants her properties at all cost.

Both of them are here with me too” “She's a very foolish girl indeed.

Please pass the phone”. “Hello? ” When that voice came on, Giselle felt her whole body breaking into many pieces at the thought that the man she had loved all her life could do such a thing.

No, this is not possible! how could this even be true? “Hello? Aren't you going to do something? When she heard the voice once again. she was forced to believe that he was the one.

She couldn't mistake his voice for anything else– She knew him like the back of her hand, so how could she not recognize his voice in the middle of the crowd?

Tears began to drip down her cheeks when her heart could no longer hold onto the pain she was feeling from within. “I told you, she was going to cry to her death, now look that's exactly what's happening now”.   hahaha meanwhile, Ms.

Sir woke up with a splitting headache after she passed out about an hour ago. She held her head with both of her hands as she struggled to get rid of the pains she was feeling, but it was deeply rooted in her skull.

With so much difficulty, she managed to open her eyes, and then made to stand up but something held her back as she felt a hand tugging at her legs. She looked down to see a rope trying around her legs. what? who tied me up?  ma'am Giselle?

With the thought of the young mistress gushing into her mind like the winter wind, she hurried to lose free the rope tied at her legs– The ropes were not tied tightly so it was easy for her to lose it as quickly as she had intended.

When she was free from the shackles of the ropes. She ran back into the living room since she was initially tied up in the storeroom, just a couple of steps away from the living area.

Everything looked the same as she had left it – Before she was attacked by those unknown people. With panic written all over her, Ms.

Sue couldn't place her mind on why the people had barged into the house. they didn't steal any valuable nor break anything, what then was their reason for coming into the mansion and knocking her out?.

They couldn't have possibly come around the house to have a look, right? Since that's not the case, then what exactly were they here for?. I should check the madam's room, maybe they came for her jewelry.

Moreover, madam has just received a new pack of jewelry from the worldfamous designers. Maybe, that's what they're looking for. I should check.

Giselle was beginning to lose the strength to keep her eyes open after listening to their conversation but she still strived to stay sane to protect herself and her unborn child. “Boss, look like the woman is finally dead now.

We should get rid of her body and leave this place as soon as possible even the boss had ordered that no clues should be left behind. So what do you suggest we do now?”. “Why worry so much when the answer is right in front of you?

Would you carry her away from this place while leaving behind a bunch of evidence or throw her down the cliff and save your dirty ass?”. “Throw her down of course!”. “Now, do it, and let's go”.

Giselle, who was too weak to fight back tried to plead with them but nothing was coming out of her mouth. There was only a muffled sound. But the truth is she was pleading for her child.

In the next splitting seconds, she was pushed down the cliff while her body rolled down in the air as they continued to watch it until it disappeared away from sight. “Save my child!!!”

Five years later...... In the city's famous fashion gallery located in the center of Bay City, a fashion exhibition was being held. Everything was moving into top gear backstage.

As the assistant to the leading figure of the fashion show, Sandra was checking details on the clothes for the models. The famous fashion company was making its grand entry into the Bay City fashion market and this was their launch coming to the city.

The company came into the limelight about three years ago, and the demand for their fashion products has been so high that it would send several shivers down the spines of competitors, and what more, it's finally has a branch in Bay City.

After a few minutes of checking n the designers, the assistant seemed to have a look of confusion on her face, then she put a call across to someone. “Miss Burnett, I sent you a couple of designs now.

Do you think this will fit the models assigned?” She said while holding the blueprint in her hands worriedly.

There was no longer anytime to waste since it was almost time for the show. “Let me have a look first” Bethany Burnett was the name that Giselle had used to disguise her in the fashion industry.

She spent the last five years metamorphosis into a famous fashion designer, winning numerous awards without the world knowing who she was.

After a period of busywork, she stood behind the curtains in the spacious office reserved for her, watching the audience. Suddenly..... She saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was Danica.... why did she attend the show now?

Danica, who was sitting in the auditorium, could barely sit still. she frequently inquired from her assistant, Janet, “Have you confirmed whether or she is coming to the show?” “ Yes ma'am, it is confirmed that Miss Burnett has returned home from abroad, and will be present in her first debut in the city”.

Although the assistant gave a firm answer, she was not sure that Bethany would show up, because this lowly fashion designer had never appeared in public not even a single picture of her from her abroad debuts.

It was too difficult to detect her traces, and getting information about her was too difficult as well. No one knows how she looks. whether she was ugly or beautiful, nobody could tell since they've not come across her once before.

At the end of the show, when the audience started to leave, Bethany did not make an appearance. At this result, Danica became furious.

Danica had become famous in the fashion industry after she took over the company, but her success was controversial. she was critical for gaining the public's support with the help of Zayn Meyer– When her relationship with Zayn came to the limelight she was greatly criticized for ruining her sister's home which led to her losing a lot of supporters, but hen she came up with a damage control which forced the public to sympathize with her.

She had lied that Giselle forced her into cleaning after her since she had eloped with her lover, but unfortunately, she met with a terrible end.

Even though with the supports from Zayn and his mother, her works have been greatly challenged by others, and when the fashion company named, Deluxe fashion edition came into the limelight a few years ago it had greatly ruined her chances of staying at the top.

Nonetheless, Bethany's niche works at the fashion week appealed to Danica three years ago, since then Danica had stepped into the part of plagiarism, and the support from the people increase.

But she knew this won't last long, and if the people find out, it will spend doom for her, so she wanted to find this woman whose design skills can match up the owner of the deluxe fashion edition.

Hearing the news that Bethany was back, she could not wait to employ her. After all, copying was not a longterm goal. But Bethany was so conceited that, Danica failed to meet her. Danica exited the bathroom and bumped into a dressed woman.

The body looked familiar to her, but the face was different. strange. why do I feel like I've met her before?

It was not strange for Giselle to meet Danica, whom she had recognized among the audience earlier on. “Hey, don't you watch where you're going!

You clumsy wimp, don't you even know how to walk properly in a public place like this? who even allowed a beggar like you into a place like this,? Look how you've ruined my expensive dress with your filthy hands”.

Danica kept raining expletives on the other woman who had a calm expression on her. After Danica stopped with a rain of words, she opened her mouth and apologized, saying.“I'm is sorry for your dress, Miss.

But next, you should check your eye sights to be sure if they are working perfectly before you left the house. stop being a nuisance in a public place and making a fool of yourself when you're not a saint” “How dare you talk back at me? are you courting death? do you even know who I am?”.

She yelled clenching her fists tightly after listening to what the woman had said to her. She had never thought that a plain woman like her would stand and talk directly back at the once famous model and top fashion designer in the city.

Or she did not know much about her it seemed. “I very well know, who you are, Miss Medina.

A famous model and fashion designer, right?”. “You know and you dare stand before me and spew trash after ruining my dress? do you know I can have you arrested for this? “I'm sorry Miss, but I think you're mistaken.

You are the one who bumped into me, remember? So you should apologize to me first,”. Hearing this, Danica felt her head spinning in circles as she couldn't understand what's going on anymore.

She was once the most respected in the city, and now someone else is ruling over her. Thinking of their great difference in social standing, Danica was infuriated.

Then, she wanted to raise her hand to scold the pale woman. when she recalled that she was in a public place, and if the paparazzi from the industry get a glimpse of what she was about to do, then her reputation would deteriorate. moreover, she had been struggling to men her ruined reputation, and staying away from the scandal is one of the best ways to achieve them.

With that, her hand was left hanging in the midair.

If she was caught hurting the woman, they would assume that she was bullying a poor helpless person because she was rich and powerful so no one can come at her– with news like this spreading like wildfire in the city, she would be boycotted and blacklisted. no amount of damage control would be as to resurrect her publicity.

I can't allow a filthy woman like herself to ruin my chances of getting close to my goals. if the designer is here and saw me hurting her then she might change her mind about partnering with me if she had nursed the thought initially.

This low life won't be the end of me now. I'm going to let her off the hook this time, but if I ever det my eyes on her next time in a secluded place, then she won't forget me so easily.

With this thought, she unwillingly dropped the hand that she had raised when she saw someone approaching the restroom. “Uh, your dress looks beautiful and the material is very good as well. it must have cost you a fortune, right?” She said pretentiously while smiling when the passerby was close to them. she wanted to create a good image of herself in front of others.

After saying that, she moved to the plain woman to touch the edge of her clothing while wearing a smile that didn't reach her teeth. “You can quit acting now, Miss Medina. Nobody's watching your acting performance right now, you know.

I think you should join the entertainment industry, you'd make a great actress” Bethany said sarcastically while hurling her away from her dress. Danica didn't know this woman would be so smart to see through her thoughts right away.

She was mad that the woman had dared to touch her hands before slinging them away. how dare she do this? “I'm letting you off this time because you look pitiful enough, otherwise I would have you arrested for harassment” Danica said arrogantly as if she was doing her a favor by not getting get her arrested.

She wore a smirk while raising her brows. “Don't make it seems like you're doing me a favor with this. You bumped into me first anyway, and I have proofs to back up my claims.

There are a few hidden cameras around, remember?” Danica was at a loss for words as she did not have a comeback for this.

“Do you think that you can do anything to me even if you were given a chance? You're nothing but a useless piece of trash working as a cleaner in a dirty place like this. I feel bad having to see your face right in front of me”.

Danica made a disgusting looking after listening to what the other woman had said about her earlier on.

She felt irritated that a woman like this one would have the nerve to stand up against her despite knowing who she was in the city. this servant must be new in the city. if people see me chatting with her then, they might think I'm crazy but what can I do after she insulted me?

But I think she's of good use if I decide to though. After thinking about this for a while, she decided to irritate Bethany and force a reaction out of her; she wanted to gain attention once again.

However, Bethany replied with a smile after seeing through her dirty intentions. “Thank you so much for all that tour got to say about a cleaner like myself, but I'll still suggest you stopped.....” She left her words unfinished as she watched out for her reactions.

Danica failed to provoke Bethany and she felt somehow disappointed. she raised her brows and said, “Why do I even water my time to speak to a pauper like you in the first place? moreover, you're just a homeless tube with no reputation to protect, so why do I stay here wasting my previous with a clueless hag like yourself?”.

Bethany Burnett wore a sneaky smile hearing what she said. Bethany had given no sign of being an underdog. in reverse, she was more dignified than she had ever been last few years ago.

Her face without makeup was delicate and bright, and she maintained a girlish figure. What Bethany had was priceless and could not be bought. Compared with Bethany, Danica, who was in heavy makeup was inferior. Bethany smiled again.

The smile made Danica uncomfortable. as she inquired, saying.“Why are you smiling?”. “I think it will be more meaningful if you focus on looking for the person you came here for, and not waste your time on me.

After all, you're the one who has something to lose in the end. I'm just a sanitation worker, anyway”. Rumors of Danica had spread wide even down to the abroad and reached Bethany.

Bethany's words hit right at her pain point. “You! how dare you?” Danica clenched her fists tightly as she charged forward, meanwhile, a loud voice came from the entrance, and stopped in her tracks glaring at the door. It was her assistant, Janet.

Hearing the voice of her assistant, Danica stopped chatting with Bethany. She bypassed Bethany and walked directly to her.

Danica looked back, astonished to find the woman glaring after her with a sinister gaze, that quickly changed to a smile. “Miss Medina, I finally got you,” The assistant noticed her pale face and asked concernedly.“Are you feeling unwell? “Im fine” She was not willing to share what happened.

But Janet saw what had happened between her and the woman from earlier, but since she didn't want to aggravate her she kept mute.

The assistant was wise enough to switch the topic, “Miss Medina, well, we are going to be late for night's dinner if we don't set off now, and you know the boss doesn't like to be kept waiting ”.

It took about 1 and half an hour journey from the western suburbs to arrive downtown.

Danica was displeased, feeling like she was being dictated by the assistant, she screeched saying, “How dare you to decide my schedule?” The assistant explained with a resigned tone.“Mr.

Meyer will also attend the dinner, and if felt it will create a great scene for you two to be seen in public together ” Danica was silent for a moment. she had tried to maintain a very good image in front of Zayn all of these years and now, she won't give up on that soon.

She won't allow trivia matters like this, to ruin her chances.

After weighing the advantages and disadvantages, Danica looked out the window and her gaze fell on the departing back of a woman. she seems to be the woman from earlier. why do I even care about this?

After a few minutes of hesitation, she left the place with the assistant unwillingly. On the other hand, Bethany went back backstage after glaring at Danica for the longest time.

Just when she was about to go back backstage, her phone vibrated in her pocket and she brought it out to check who it was.

A look of recognition crept into her face and she beamed with joy. “Miss Burnett, where on earth are you going to have time for this cute little angel?

Or have you finally forgotten all about this brat?” A sweetsounding voice of a little girl could be heard from the other end of the line as soon as the phone was connected. “Why on earth, would you think that I would so forget about a cute little brat like you in the first place? can I do that?

She replied with a gentle tone. while her fave was fixed with a layer of happiness as she spoke to the person. “If you say so, then I should give you the benefit of the doubt for you to prove your points to me.

I'm waiting for you at your home now”. “Just wait for me. I'll be there as soon as possible. I'll get your favorite things on my way back, how about that?”. “That sounds so corny. but, I would love it very much. see you soon”.

With that, the call was dropped and Bethany remained standing with her hands clenched tightly to her phone which was placed against her chest as she beamed happily. Just then, a voice cut through her moment of joy.

As her assistant came running towards her with some documents in hand. “Here you are, Ma'am, I've been looking all over the place for you. The team is waiting for you right now, let's get things done and over with so that we can head home now.

Moreover, you still have another meeting to attend”. She said with a gentle voice after taking a deep breath upon seeing her. “Cancel my other meetings for the night.

I'm going home for a bit”. “But, Miss Bethany, this is so important to the.........”. “Do as I said and don't debate over it anymore”. After stopping her with a wave of the hand.

Sandra didn't dare to say any more words as she had gotten used to how the mind of the woman works.

After working with her for a few years, she had come to know that Bethany isn't just the type of person that let go of an opportunity to crush her enemies, especially after all she went through all those years ago.

If she had been given such an opportunity to overthrow her enemies then there must be a better plan for future attacks.   this was such a great chance to work her way into the minds of the elite socialite of the city.

However, since she doesn't want to go ahead with the plans for now. then, it's fine. After a while, they went back backstage to the fashion event.

At the first airport in Bay city, a man, who was dressed in a black suit and pants just came out of the arrival lounge and his assistant, who had been waiting for him for the longest time came up to him and assisted him with the briefcase. “It's nice to have you back, President Meyer. the entire was lifeless without you around” Gael said courteously after he took the briefcase away from the man; who didn't seem to have heard him at all.

The nan wore an icy expression and his face was covered with a layer of frost as he glared at his wristwatch before turning to look at the assistant.

He pouted his lips and said sarcastically,“ Do you mean to say I'm the clown that keeps you entertained?

Do you need me to perform some kind of magic to amuse you?” He asked icily with a cold gaze that made the other man shiver with fear. it seems the young master got offended by my words. why do I act foolishly sometimes? now, I need to have him persuaded, otherwise, my life will become miserable in his quest. “II do not mean that, President Meyer. it's just that you're the boss and......” “Do you not need your job anymore?

Would you prefer to become a clown and entertain others instead? ”. “No, President Meyer, I still need my job very much ”. “Then, get a grip over your mouth. otherwise, I will send you straight over to the comic world.

Now, quiet talking and lead me to the car”. He ordered without raising his brows to look at the man. “Sure, President Meyer. This way”.
