Treated like trash, undermined, maltreated, overused and abused... all were the order of the day for Bethany Cassidy married to Charles Worth. The whole of his family used her like a wet piece of rag and used and dumped her whenever they wanted but Bethany, using the feelings she has for Charles to stay for him, endures all of it, considering it to be what they she tagged her marriage trials... UNTIL... Bethany walks into the room and sees Charles in bed with another woman who is supposed to be her sister-in-law. Finally, it all comes crashing down and in the spontaneous events that follows, she lands herself into the hot, rich and powerful mess called Arthur Worth... A man as fine as a good bottle of aged wine... Charles's Uncle. But all, they say, is fair in love and war... Bethany is about to fight her battles, with a very capable man by her sides. "Don't you mind that you'll have the same last name as that scumbag?" Arthur asks, suddenly jerking her close. Bethany smirks. "Leave the name, the man only matters." She whispers right back just as he kisses her fiercely on the lips in the middle of the onlooking crowd.
View MoreAt the same time that John is being rudely carried out for his bad and shameless behavior, the atmosphere in the Campbell Corporation’s lobby changes as well, as Kevin, flanked by a small army of disgruntled fellow officials, storm towards the exit, their faces flushed with rage. "I told you to let me go." Kelvin yells forcefully, trying to free himself from the hands of the men throwing them out, but they are stronger than him, far stronger.“I will come back with police officers! Just you see.” He bellows, his words dripping with anger. “You think you can just throw us out because you are the boss? This company will be rendered unfit to work, I promise you that!”Mark, another supposedly wronged official sighs. Even though they are being dragged out, he still manages to maintain his steeze and composure, and doesn't say a word. However, it seems Kevin keeps adding to their embarrassment as he keeps yelling over everything and keeps struggling to release himself, it’s getting everyo
Mason later focuses on the conference but his inner mind is totally fixed on that woman so badly. How can she show up in front of him?"So, contrary to some spread out rumors about which company will be getting the contract, I don’t know the source of the rumor most especially since the decision about the contract had never been finalized until just yesterday, funnily enough, it will be awarded to the rival to the supposed entitled company. " As soon as Mason finishes talking, there is murmuring among the reporters, but he pretty much does not care.The room buzzes with the flashing of cameras and the murmurs of reporters eager to capture the moment.At that moment, as he penned down his signature with a triumphant laugh of revenge, his gaze flickers over to where Chara stood by the entrance. He is expecting a shocked expression from her, but her side profile is calm, meaning she isn't bothered by the announcement.Technically, John Worth is her brother I law, how could she not care?
Some minutes before the press conference, Mason leans back in his office chair. He had been having a conversation with John's rival and it seems it will take forever before it can be finalized. For unknown reasons, he is feeling skeptical about the conference as if something is going to happen. Knowing what he is doing, it’s a justifiable feeling, but he would rather have someone else take care of it than himself.Calling Mark, his assistant. "Are you sure the officers are here? I'm having some weird feelings about the conference.""Of course, there are eleven in total. As far as I was informed, they have arrived already." Mark responds, sounding all professional.Mason sighs, not out of relief but out of complicated feelings. At least eleven officers are more than enough for the conference but he still didn't have any good feelings about it.John Worth is a scumbag. He could do something large scale just so he could get the contract. Until the contract is signed, he fears this feelin
She stands in front of the building, her hands behind her back in a stiff stance, looking at her new workplace.Having returned back to the city over a week ago, she had been asked to take the week off and today is her official first day at work.Open Eyed Security Company, OESC.A company known for its good bodyguards and men who know their boundaries, fit to be dispatched to anyone anywhere and at any time. Chara walks in through the double doors.“Miss Worth, Mr. Henderson has asked you to see him as soon as you resume for work.”Chara nods and takes the elevator to his office.Her direct boss in the company, Henerson sits behind his chair, his eyes drawn to something he keeps staring at and occasionally tapping on his computer. His secretary gives her the go ahead to proceed into the office to see him since he has been expecting her anyway.Chara knocks twice before opening the door.He raises his eyes to see her and the creased eyebrows straighten. “Madam Worth, lovely to meet yo
‘You know what, Jade?”“What ma’am?”"I have made my decision and there is no going back on my words. With my authority in this company, fire Kevin and his fellow dubious colleagues. They must serve as an example to others who might have the same intention. This company isn't for embezzlement or t show who is boss between another, fire them all.""Huh?" Jade is taken aback and for the first time, Jade shows an expression that is not been submissive. In her defense, this is the first time Bethany is making such a decision and it seems like she means it. "Are you sure ma'am?“ She asks, wanting to be sure she heard it all right.“Yes. I needed to know who stood with Kevin and who didn’t. the meeting today was just to rile them up and let them show their true colors. Happy it worked. You saw them all as they walked out, openly showing that they obey no one. This is about more than just power play now, it’s about loyalty and integrity and those people have neither. I’ll not tolerate insubo
The fluorescent shines softly above the conference room, casting its white bright lights over the table where the finance team are seated, headed by their director, Kevin, and equally, every important member and official that is always present at the bi monthly business meeting of the Worth Corporation. Bethany adjusts her glasses with a warm gaze, the tension in the air, though, is intense. Across the table, Kevin Fitzpatrick sits with his arms crossed, an expression of disdain etched on his face, disdain and a look of triumph. “Thank you all for being here today, especially each and every one of who gave presentations on the amount spent and amounts that come in and all of those…” Bethany begins, her voice steady despite the knot of excitement in her stomach. “As you know, we’ve been evaluating our current auditing services, and I believe it’s time to make some changes. So far, one thing I noticed in the well presented slides shown earlier is that ever since Unique became our audit
It's getting pretty late at night, and Quin hasn't returned home yet, which has got Daisy pacing around the living room."Where is this girl for goodness sake?" Daisy asks no one in particular as she keeps dialing Quinn's number but it is out of reach.The clock on the wall ticks steadily, each second echoing in the quiet house and only making Daisy more frantic as it reminds her that time keeps moving. She is more than worried. Her frustration increases after every failed call Quinn several times.“Come on, Quinn. Where are you?” She mutters under her breath, feeling a knot of worry tighten in her stomach. She just is not feeling comfortable. Something about a mother’s guts.Just then, the door makes a sound as it creaks open, and Daisy moves her head swiftly in that direction, almost giving herself a whiplash. "Quinn? Is that you?" She inquires as she walks to the hallway to verify who the person is.However, she is slightly disappointed and a bit hopeful when John walks in.“Daisy
Daisy returns home after her embarrassing pre-lunch with Arthur earlier, her mood completely smashed against a rock, her thoughts still tangled in the events that had followed her final intense conversation with Arthur. The restaurant's customers glancing in their way every time Arthur laughed, their curious laughter echoing back in her ears as she thinks of it, and worst of all, Arthur's mocking tone haunts her as she steps through the front door of her own house."Argh!” She groans the same way she had done in the morning. “He has been acting like an evil spirit ever since that bitch occupied his mind and time!" Daisy seethes as she enters the living room, which seems oddly too quiet, and that gets her a bit confused.When she finds the silence unusual, she becomes curious. Quinn!” She yells, her voice sharp, slicing through the firm silence. By this time, Quinn is just getting back from school and sits in front of the television to watch the daily run of a kdrama that is currently
In a large meeting room, John ss having an official meeting with the director of finance of his company, Mr. Gabriel, and some other relevant staff of the same the department."I don't think we can last longer with the rate of the company loss. We will soon be facing bankruptcy. We ought to cut our losses now and close before we turn red, or we can choose to find some work to do that could be our lifesaver, bring us back in the green immediately." One of the staff, who happens to be a female, blurts out during the presentation. The company hasn't been doing well lately, and it has got the staff worried as they keep anticipating better results, but they have got nothing. Even now, those in the finances know fully well that at the rate they are going, there, soon, won’t be enough to pay the hardworking staff.Mr Gabriel also chips in. "We have been waiting for the contract with the Campbell hospital since it is our only hope right now but it seems like nothing..."John cuts him off bef
"There is absolutely nothing you this bitch can do appropriately!" Quinn yells as she flings the steaming mug of coffee away from her.The hot liquid spills sideways and scalds Bethany who jumps back but it's a little too late as the bulk of it had landed on the back of her hand. She immediately turns to get it under some cold water but she's immediately stopped by Quinn's incredulous gasp."You want to walk out on me?" She half yells shrilly so as to attract attention from the rest of the family. "Just because I politely told you that the coffee is too bitter, you want to walk out on me?" Her voice takes on a slight faltering to show that it's filled with emotions.Fake emotions.Bethany immediately shakes her head. "Of course not, the hot coffee spilled on me and I'm going to wash it off..."There's a clatter of footsteps behind her and Bethany turns around to see Daisy and John Worth, her in-laws, as they come downstairs to see what all the commotion is all about."Mum... Dad..." Q...
