Happy New Years! Although this is coming a bit late. There hasn't been any update from me since January and I apologize for that, I will make up for it by giving a mass release which will come soon, stay tuned! Also, don't forget to share your thoughts in the comment section.
Breakfast was soon over with both Mr and Mrs Sy alongside Grandpa Sy leaving for the company, of course, they never forgot to bid Darling goodbye before leaving.Now Darling was left with the other girl seated beside her, the girl was a blonde and during the few times Darling threw occasional glances at the blonde girl, she noticed the piercings on her nose, she also wore heavy makeup which Darling thought was too much considering this was still morning.At first, no one said anything to each other as the blonde lady concentrated on her food without sparing Darling a glance. Darling was very much curious about this girl because Mrs Sy had introduced the blonde girl as her daughter, adopted daughter and Darling felt that made sense.Darling who couldn't keep her curiosity at bay slightly tilted her head and stole a glance at the blonde lady whose name was Morgan and that was the exact moment Morgan stared back at her and they both locked gazes with Darling now red from embarrassing be
For some odd reasons yet to be known and as crazy as it may sound, Darling felt off even though she didn't want to. Why was she heading to the same place as Morgan but she was currently the only person who appeared off, like she didn't dress for the occasion?These thoughts occupied Darling's mind but she decided to shove the thought aside as she entered the vehicle right after Morgan and the driver drove off.The journey to the Sy family's company was a silent one, neither Morgan nor Darling exchanged words with each other and Darling preferred it that way because who knows what next might come out of Morgan's unhinged mouth.Unhinged? Now that was a little bit creative, thought Darling to herself.A few minutes had passed and they finally arrived at the company, it was a huge skyscraper and to think Darling would be stepping into this building. All her life, she had never seen an opportunity that would ever bring her to places like this, not that it worried her.The word 'Sy's Enter
"With the way you are standing there, a person would never believe you are Mr Sy's daughter." A deep voice stated from a distance, grabbing Darling's attention and Darling turned to see who it was.Seeing the tall figure that stood in a distance with his hands tugged inside his pocket, Darling's eyes grew wide as she recalled where she had seen him. It was the guy from last night!What was he doing here? And who was he by the way? Darling was curious.Duke had never thought he would come across this lady from last night but seeing her now, a smirk found its way to his lips as he wondered why she was here and in this state.But it somehow made sense, she was Mr Sy's daughter and had every right to be here but why does she look like that?This morning in his house, it had been war during breakfast because the news of what his mother had said to Mrs Sy and their spoilt princess had gotten to his grandfather's ears and the old man was mad.His grandfather, Mr Grant wanted him to marry the
A little surprised at their attitude towards her, Darling quickly stood up and looked around the place before her gaze fell on the two figures that headed towards the elevator.With her eyes still on them, Morgan and the handsome man stepped into the elevator and the door was soon shut close, leaving Darling to stare at the closed doors of the elevator.With a long soft sigh, Darling looked away and proceeded to help herself up from the floor. She stared down at the stack of files and papers that Morgan had made her carry, she was now torn between carrying it and leaving this place or just leaving it here.After much contemplation, Darling decided that leaving the stack of files and papers here would be best because there was no way she would go through the same episode of carrying those heavy papers around.And with that thought, she walked towards the elevator and thankfully there were two elevators and she made use of the second one and it opened up to reveal a lady standing inside
"Do you mean Duke Grant and Ms Morgan?" Sarah asked while turning to face Darling who still had her eyes inside the room. "No, not at all. They are not in any relationship" She cleared with a soft chuckle and Darling nodded.However, Sarah who still had something to say took a few steps close to Darling and whispered in Darling's ears, "They would have actually been in a relationship if not for the incident that happened about a year ago," Sarah said and those words were enough to grab all of Darling's attention.Darling whose eyes were glued inside the room turned to face Sarah in a whim the moment she heard what Sarah said."What do you mean by they would have been in a relationship, did something happen?" She asked, curiosity swimming in her eyes as she was prepared to hear some tea spilling."Yep, something did happen. About a year ago, it was announced that Duke and Morgan would be getting married and it had been all over the news and it was the talk of town as people had differe
She woke up swamped in her light pink covers, rubbing her eyes as the bright sunlight hit them, she glanced over at her clock to see it was 09:08 AM.Her sleepy eyes were quick to snap open and she threw off her bedcovers and stood up from the bed at a lightning-bolt speed."I woke up late!"Darling screamed to herself knowing what consequences awaited her actions.She ran into the bathroom without seeing the need to waste time and freshened up as quickly as possible.Having been married to her husband for more than three years, she was used to doing all the chores around the house. She would wake up as early as seven and go to bed as late as ten.While getting ready, she could already imagine the stares and glares she would receive from her in-laws for failing to wake up early to get the morning chores done.It wasn't that she woke up late on purpose, Throughout last night she had been cleaning and washing and never found time to rest and by the time she was done, it was past ten.He
Everyone present raised their heads from their food and turned to look at Mary, wondering what made her suddenly say those words.However, Darling already had an idea of what her mother-in-law, Mary was going to say."What is this rubbish?" Mary asked again, her sharp eyes glaring hard at Darling as if she would rip Darling's head off any moment.Darling just sat there staring and didn't know what to say or do, it wasn't like she could do anything to begin with."When have we ever eaten mushrooms for breakfast in this house? Chicken tacos? You mean to tell me you used the chicken I kept to prepare this nonsense? Do you know how expensive groceries are? Yet you prepared all of this garbage for breakfast, now what's your explanation?" Mary asked and all heads turned to face Darling, waiting for her response.Darling looked at each pair of eyes that stared at her, they all screamed disapproval and disgust towards her. She then stared back at Mary and said,"I decided to prepare this beca
I don't want to waste your time by beating around the bush, so I'll just go straight to the point. This is a divorce paper and I'd like for you to sign it without any drama."These words from Stanley shattered Darling inside out that she almost lost her balance and he didn't even make any move to hold her in case she might fall.Colour drained from her face and her eyes widened from another shock, this felt like a hard and heartless slap on her face.Why was he suddenly asking for a divorce after three years of marriage? Though his family never liked her and she also noticed the little emptiness between them and she worked hard hoping that things would somehow work out between them one day.But a divorce? Why?The tears that seemed to have taken a short pause resumed and they started rolling down her white cheeks that lacked colour.She shook her head, hoping this was some kind of joke but the look on Stanley's face says it all.He despised her so much and was now letting it known, ho
