LOGINWhile Susan was having a phone conversation, Caleb approached Wendy’s desk. Wendy stared at him with her expression tightened.“Why are you here?” Wendy asked coldly.“Is that how you welcome your brother-in-law?” Caleb gave a sly smile.The word brother-in-law caught Susan’s attention after her call. She looked at the man from head to toe. That instant, she had a crush on him.“I didn’t invite you here.” Wendy responded indifferently.Caleb gave a sly smile. “I am here because you have to help my family secure the partnership with Darnold enterprise. If you want Hilton to get his inheritance, you have a part to play.”“Don’t try to play games with you. Hilton has given you his conditions and if you cannot abide by it, forget about Darnold enterprise.” Wendy said to him fearlessly.Caleb’s eyes reddened immediately as he felt insulted by Wendy’s words. However, he had to cover up his anger so that his mission can be accomplished.“Name your price? Do this for me and I will ensure you
The weekend was over and Wendy was seated at her desk, attending to her job. Just then, Jerry summoned all the staff to pass an important announcement.“It is no longer hidden that Darnold Enterprise will be sixty years old in a few days’ time. We will be celebrating this milestone in a grand way. We must work together to make it successful. All of us must attend.” Jerry said a lot.Ten minutes later, all the employees returned to their desk except for Priscy who was discussing with Wendy.“I heard the event will be held at Mr. Darnold mansion.” Priscy lowered her voice.“Alright,” Wendy remained indifferent and stared at her.Priscy continued, “I have to look my best. You never can tell if I will meet my soulmate at the event. A lot of dignitaries will attend the event; I need to look my best.”“Hey girl, come out of your lullaby! Keep your expectations low so that you don’t get disappointed.” Wendy told Priscy with a slight smile.“I am optimistic. Wendy, why don’t you look excit
At the hospital.“How could Wendy do such to you, Jason? You have to deal with her.” Ketura said with widened eyes, pitying him.Jason was embarrassed to tell them that he kidnaped her to forcefully get married to her so he didn’t give a reply.Silas read meaning to his silence, “We know you are in pain. You don’t have to talk now, you are still recovering.”“Pearl and I have decided to be on the lookout for Wendy and her husband. They must be punished for this.” Susan said angrily.“Tread carefully, you don't know who is helping her.” Jason managed to whisper.He knew that whoever sent those men to save Wendy must be wealthy and influential. Ketura informed Susan that Hilton and Wendy were currently at Greg’s residence. She also told them all that happened and the conditions Wendy gave them.“So stupid of her, I will deal with her.” Susan uttered confidently.“A lot has changed about Wendy since she got married.” Pearl added coldly.“All I know is that she must be punished.” Ketura s
At noon the next day, Wendy and Hilton went to visit her father. While Wendy was surprised to see Silas and Ketura with her father outside the gate, Hilton wasn’t.“Dad, what is going on here?” Wendy quickly approached Greg. “Didn’t they say they don’t want to have anything to do with us? Why are they here?”Greg didn’t want to drag his daughter into his business mess with Silas but she was the only he had left.“It is just some business discussion. You and your husband should go in, I will join you soon.” Greg uttered with a slight smile“No dad, I am not a kid. Tell me what is going on.” Wendy insisted.“Since you care to know. Swilvil is at the brink of collapsing, you father has to put in some work to fix this. If not for Nancy, the company would be fine.” Silas spoke coldly.“Excuse you! Keep my sister out of this. Nancy was right, your husband knows nothing about business and now that my father no longer works for him, it is glaring. We don’t want to have anything to do with you
At a basement.“You left me no choice, my dear.” Jason uttered, touching Wendy’s face.“Take your hands off me! How could you do this? Don't you understand? I don’t want to have anything to do with you, let me go.” Wendy screamed. She stared around and noticed that her hands and legs weren’t tied. Wendy stood up and pointed to Jason. “You’ll regret doing this.” “Really?” Jason licked his lips.Seeing how furious Wendy was, Jason said softly. “Have you forgotten the love we once shared? Do you expect me to fold my arms and watch you wallow in poverty with that bastard? This is best for us.”Jason clapped his hand and a priest sweating profusely approached them. It was evident that he was forcefully brought there. The priest could barely look at Jason.“Why the delay? Let’s exchange the vows.” Jason said happily.Wendy said angrily, “What? I am married; have you gone insane?”“I have prepared the divorce papers that you will give Hilton. Calm down and we’d be done with this fast.” Jas
Meanwhile, Hilton got into his room, locked the door and pull of his mask. He sighed as he felt guilty for hiding his true self from Wendy.“When will this end?” He asked himself and couldn’t give a reply.He freshened up and the night rolled by swiftly.Soon, it was dawn. Wendy rushed out of the house before Hilton because she didn’t want him to talk about what transpired last night. She dropped a note on the table.When Hilton came to the sitting room, he noticed the note and read the content.‘Off to work, breakfast is in the kitchen.’“How can you be shy of your husband?” Hilton chuckled.He headed to the kitchen happily. Hilton had grown fond of her food that he hardly eats take out no matter how hungry he felt.At Jason’s residence.Jason was standing outside beside his car, having a phone conversation when he saw Susan and her mom approaching him.“What do this people want from me?” Jason mumbled the moment he hung up.He took a step towards them and screamed. “Hold it there! S
At Hilton's apartment.“Why did you snatch my phone from me?” Wendy said with an unreadable expression.“Excuse you, I just defended you, yet you are ungrateful. I was just curious to know who was speaking to you when you said ‘kill me’.”“Why do you care?” Wendy asked as she washed the dishes. “Di
The atmosphere was unusually quiet and cold. Wendy wallowed in her thoughts, mumbling a lot of things.“Could it be that the strange man knows that I am married to Hilton and he wanted to take me as a prey to get to my husband?”“Is it possible that Hilton had offended the man?”She didn't know how
Hilton was seated while Wendy placed a call and had the phone glued to her ear.“Let's hangout. I will forward the address to you.” She said and hung up.Hilton had his attention fixed on Wendy. Something within him wanted to ask who she wanted to hangout with but he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Seeing that no one would save her at the moment, Pearl went on her knees and apologized to Wendy.“I am sorry.”Wendy remained indifferent. If it were before, she would be sympathetic that Pearl was about to lose her job.Wendy hissed and returned to her desk.“Pearl deserves that punishment.”“I h
