Fate Entwined in a Shadow Lame Excuses
Chapter 26“Please, Vivian! Don't hurt yourself! It's not worth it!” Rita pleaded, trying to take the knife from Vivian's hands.“No, allow me to hurt myself and my baby, since my husband is so angry with me that he cannot tell me what I did! You know that I always want the best for Carlos, right? I would never want him to lose any deal. Now he is proudly telling us that he lost his dream deal because of me!” Vivian cried, tears streaming down her face.Rita felt pity for her, still trying to stop her from hurting herself.Carlos, deep in thought and regret, heard the noise coming from the corridor. He heard his mother pleading and decided to run out of the room to see what was happening.He was reluctant at first but, as the noise intensified, he stood up and went to the door.He was shocked to see his wife with a knife, trying to harm herself.“What are you trying to do? Are you out of your senses? You made me lose my job; now you want to kill my unborn child? Why?” Carlos shouted

Chapter 25“Rules? What rule are you talking about? I had no idea that the Choi group gave my son a rule!” Rita answered, raising her voice in a frustrated tone.“Hm, that means there is a lot you have no idea about, and I wonder why Carlos decided to keep them away from you too,” Nick replied, and kept quiet again.All those things were not making any sense to Rita. All she wanted to know was the main problem, not all the long stories.“Nick, please, I beg you in the name of my late mother, please tell me what happened. Tell me all that I need to know.”“I am sorry, ma'am, for beating around the bush. I will go straight to the point now,” Nick assured her.He kept quiet again, but this time, Rita was not ready to say a word to him.After some seconds of silence, he continued.“The Choi group, as we know, are the most influential tech companies in the world, and every company would love to sign a deal with them. So, earlier this year, they came out publicly that they were ready to par
Fate Entwined in a Shadow Seeking for Answers
Chapter 24Vivian glanced at Rita, who was throwing questions at her.“I do not know! I'm telling the truth right now! I had no idea about the event not up until today!” Vivian continued defending herself, raising her tone and forcing herself to shed tears, but the tears were not forthcoming.But Rita didn't want to give up. She knew Carlos so well and also understood how much he loved and cherished Vivian. Shouting at her and crying meant she did something that hurt him deeply.“Why do I feel like you are lying? I don’t think I believe you right now! Tell me what you did. You went to his documents, right? Did you tamper with his paperwork? Talk to me! What did you do?” Rita kept asking her those questions.The truth was that Vivian had never cared about Carlos or anything that had to do with his work. She was just there for the benefits she was getting, trying to provide a good life for her child.“I'm telling you the truth, Rita! You can ask your son if he will tell you the truth.
Fate Entwined in a Shadow Carlos First Tears
Chapter 23Rita continued knocking on Carlos's door, but he was not responding.Then she saw Vivian approaching. She was a bit scared that there might be a fight again.“I hope you don't mind. I was just trying to check on my son. He was meant to sign a deal with the Choi Group today in Florida, but I haven't seen him since yesterday.” Rita was careful with her choice of words; she didn't want to say anything that would make Vivian angry with her again.As Vivian came closer to the door, Rita stepped backwards.“He is meant to sign a deal with the Choi Group? Like the almighty Choi Group?” Vivian asked, her eyes widening as she looked at Rita for quick answers.The old lady nodded. “Yes, he has always wanted to sign a deal with that company. It will give him the chance to be among the most sought-after tech companies in the world,” Rita replied, still afraid of Vivian, who had automatically turned into a bully.“Wow! Signing with them means more money, right?” Vivian smiled in a sinis
Fate Entwined in a Shadow Mixed Reactions
Chapter 22The ride to the event venue was a fast one; Elena didn't even know that it was close by.“You stay right here, ma'am. I have to inform Mr. Miller about your arrival,” the chauffeur instructed Elena before walking inside the magnificent hotel door.Elena opened the car door and brought one of her legs down from the car as she admired the beauty of the hotel, wondering what the inside would look like.“I guess I misunderstood everything. Bryan is definitely going to walk me inside the hall. I think I'm going to enjoy this night,” Elena smiled to herself.She started imagining herself holding Bryan's hand and walking majestically inside the hall, with everyone looking at them and commenting on her beauty.While thinking about that, she smiled.Then she saw the chauffeur returning.She tried to look behind him, hoping to see Bryan come out with him, but the chauffeur returned alone.“Why is he coming back alone? Don't tell me I'm going to walk around that hall tonight like an
Fate Entwined in a Shadow Ready For The Event
Chapter 21Elena was so worried that she kept thinking about her discussion with Grandpa and the reason for Bryan's anger.But a knock on the door interrupted her; she dressed her gown properly, thinking it was Bryan and ready to apologize to him for listening to his grandfather's story.“ You can come in now!” Elena sat on the bed, ready to have the conversation and eager to dig out the truth.“ Mr Bryan instructed me to bring your food up here since you left before the food was served.” The maid explained, walking inside the room with a plate of food.Elena was disappointed; she was not expecting a maid; she wanted to talk to Bryan, not a maid.“ Why would Bryan send the maid to bring me food? I thought he was angry with me?” Elena asked herself while staring at the maid with the tray in her hand.“ Where will I keep it for you ma'am!” The maid asked her.But Elena ignored the question, then went ahead to ask her own.“ Where is Bryan?” “ He just left the house!” She replied quickl
Fate Entwined in a Shadow Angry over Nothing
Chapter 20Grandpa said angrily, hitting his walking stick once more on Bryan’s back, this time with force.Bryan ran out from Grandpa's side and ran towards Elena for help, like a child who was dodging his mother's rage.The act made everyone burst into laughter before taking their chairs to eat.While waiting for the maids to serve the food, Elena remembered that Grandpa Morris was telling her a story before Bryan interrupted them.“ So, Grandpa, can I now see the pictures?” Elena requested, stretching forth her hands towards the old man.Bryan glanced at the two, before directing a question to the grandfather.“ What picture is she talking about? Do you now go around taking pictures with my wife? When I don't even have a single picture with her?” Bryan inquired, his eyes longing for an answer.Grandpa Morris laughed. He wanted to answer Bryan, but Elena's voice overshadowed his own.“ don't tell me that you are jealous of your own grandfather! Well, we were talking about his friend
Fate Entwined in a Shadow The Background Story
Chapter 19Grandpa Morris said that like a gossip.“ That man must be shameless! Maybe the woman caught him cheating?” Elena added she was very interested in the topic.Grandpa shifted closer to Elena; from the way he acted, he looked like he had been looking for whom to tell the story to in the past but found none.“ Yes, he is indeed shameless; I don't blame him for being that useless; you know his grandfather was very selfish too, so I guess the foolishness runs in their lineage.” Grandpa Morris smirked.“It seems like you know a lot about this family; tell me more about them.” Elena requested, the corners of her lips curled up, waiting for more stories from Grandpa.“ Yeah, I know a lot about them; in fact, his grandfather used to be an old colleague of mine.” he paused.He glanced at Elena's face; her eyes were filled with curiosity; he smiled. The expression on Elena's face was one of the things he loved most whenever he was telling someone a story.Bryan always finds his talks
Fate Entwined in a Shadow Teasing Doris
Chapter 18 Still contemplating what to do when Doris arrived, Bryan was filled with regrets for making that call. The office landline rang, interrupting his thoughts. He picked it up. “Sir, a lady is insisting that she fixed an appointment with you, but I can't find her name on your schedule.” It was Bryan's secretary. He glanced at his watch, wondering if Doris was already in the building. “What is her name?” he asked. “Doris…” “Let her in!” Bryan commanded, cutting off the secretary before she could finish the introduction. Doris had arrived a few hours earlier, hoping to attract the attention of a top shareholder or perhaps to continue apologizing to Bryan in an attempt to win him back. But luck was on her side that day; thanks to Bryan's call, she hurried to his office before he would change his mind. “You were already in the company, right?” Bryan asked, sensing something was not right, noting that she wasn’t supposed to be there at that time. “Yeah,” Dor
