ETHAN'S POV ●●●●●I spun slightly in my swivel seat, pondering deeply with my eyes fixed on the piles of papers and files on my desk when Giselle walked in."Sir, I..." Her lips parted to release the words, but then I cut her off abruptly."Why are you here? What do you want?" My gaze remained fixed on the papers and files on my desk as I posed the question to her."Actually sir, I'm here to keep you updated on today's schedule." She stopped talking to look at me who was now staring back at her. "We are set to have a meeting in the conference room today. As it is now, all other attendees are present, except us who are currently not in attendance. The meeting is already in progress, but we still need to be present, as our presence is required." She went on to say, scrolling through the phone in her hand where she had just read from.And here, I saw reasons to address her on what I noticed was out of line. Since we weren't at her home, a coffee shop, a park or some sort of casual gathe
CLARA'S POV●●●●Shortly after concluding my services with Amelia, I soon started working as a maid for the esteemed Vale's family in the grand mansion. And over the past few days, I have come to realize that the problems arising between the couple, Mr. and Ms. Vale, both in their marriage and family, seem to stem from Victoria, Ethan's mother, as she turned out to be the center of it all. To my shock as well, I had just caught their grown-ups, Bryan and Cynthia in a compromising position, skipping the fact that they are blood siblings. I've just caught them red-handed, sleeping with each other under their parents' noses...Aren't they cursed already? And now Cynthia had abruptly just dashed out of the room, looking so unwell and likely to be sick. Whereas, I couldn't help but notice how she looked like she might be pregnant. Pregnant for Bryan perhaps, her biological brother...Gosh!!! What a taboo!!! Such an atrocious act they've committed..."Please, Ms. Clara. Don't let our paren
ETHA'S POV●●●●A lady had walked in earlier like she owned the place... Her face rang a bell though, as she seemed to be part of those who attended dinner here at the mansion. However, I could tell that I had no idea of who she was or how she was related to the family. But since dad and grandpa were no longer in the living room with me, I took it upon myself to ask her who she was looking for, but she shooed me away and called me ugly."Am I really ugly?" I couldn't help but break down in tears as I stared at the reflection of myself in the mirror.I had just left her presence to ascend the stairs into my new bedroom, wanting to cry until there is no more tears left in my eyes."Oh no!!! I think I'm ugly. I don't want to be ugly." I went wild, snatching the pillows and tossing it with all my might, watching it crash to the floor and bounce off the walls. "She called me ugly." My tears ceased as I sniffled through my nostrils, slowly composing myself with my arms crossed.●●●●"Oh, c
CHLOE'S POV ●●●●"Ta-da!!! This might just be one of your pranks, right? Okay, fine, you've won this round_I'm impressed." Linda let out a super cute laugh that was totally adorable."But this is no joke at all, Linda. I'm dead serious." I told her straight out, wanting her to realize that I meant every word.The doctor back there at the clinic made sure to conduct a series of test on me, eventually letting me have the bad news that my chances of becoming pregnant again had reduced to zero. In other words, I will no longer be able to conceive, nor have kids of my own."You can't be serious, this has to be some kind of joke, right? That you're no longer fertile, and won't be able to get pregnant again?" Her eyes lost its sparkles as she gave me the curious stare. "This is unbelievable. I must say I'm shocked right now. Totally shocked. Sorry to say sissy, but I'm so disappointed in you. You've finally let me down. And to come to think that I specifically warned you against having an a
LINDA'S POV ●●●●●I made my way into the house to find Chloe seated, looking vibrant and fit."Chloe?!!!" I froze the moment I caught sight of her. "You're dead. You're a ghost. You shouldn't be here. You ought to be six feet under." I was deeply frightened, not daring to move an inch from the doorway."It's me, your sister. I'm still breathing, and not six feet under just yet. Take a good look at me, Linda." She rose to give me a 360-degree view of herself. Aside that, she was elegantly dressed in a floor-length velvet gown.Do the dead now dress to make the living jealous? Why not compete in style with their fellow dead in the grave instead?"Could you please stop staring at me?" She rolled her eyeballs."No! You're dead." I said to her. "No! No, don't come close. Just stay the heck away from me." I became a little bit scared when I noticed her move those legs of hers, as I could probably tell she was about to approach me.However, my order for her to stay back made her stop in he
"This is ridiculous! You've changed from being the man I married. How dare you go as far as preventing Victoria from being executed? What gave you the right to interfere in whatever concerns her? Man, you should be ashamed of yourself because I'm ashamed of you." Mom shouted at Dad at the top of her lungs. "Do not push me to the wall, woman. Don't make me do what I'll regret." Dad warned her in a no-nonsense tone, his finger inches from her face."You can only do nothing. I dare you! I dare you to show me what you're truly made of." She brushed his finger off her face. "The fact that you cheated on me with her and still went on to ensure that she doesn't get the death penalty that she deserves, is what upsets me the most. Marcus, your actions are despicable. Can't you see that this woman is the reason why our home is falling apart?" She added."Do you really need to raise your voice at me to prove a point? You know what? I think I've had enough. I'm done." Dad plainly told her."Wha-
