“You-” Just when Paige was about to defend herself, she noticed someone elegantly dressed in a swimsuit headed in their direction and it was none other than Madison.“Director Fabian!” Madison greeted her by nodding her head politely and turned around to face Zion before saying to him, “Sir, I might have something about the thing that you asked of me.”Madison was careful not to say too much in front of others and said enough to remind Zion of the task that he handed to her. Hence, no one knew what she referred to.Zion’s expression changed immediately. He gave her a nod and stared intently at Paige before saying to Madison, “Okay, let’s go then!”He then turned around and left the audience seat where the girls were gathered without any hesitation.The female employees stared at Zion, who left them dressed in his swimming attire as well as ogling over his broad shoulder and long legs. They regretted not making a move before Zion had his eyes on Madison.Paige, on the other hand,
Zion thought that he was mentally prepared but he froze on spot at the moment he saw Aruna.Aruna was exactly how Madison described her - a mother of a child and she was dressed in a plain formal outfit. Aruna was slightly chubby, she looked clean and normal. Zion thought that even if she was younger, Aruna must have only looked normal and plain.Zion stared at Aruna who was among the audience and took a deep breath before saying, “Madison, please make sure that no one knows of this matter. I’ll look into this again. You can stop worrying about work today and take the rest of the day off. Have fun and enjoy yourself.”“Thanks, Sir,” Madison was still young and after Zion reassured her, she paid no attention to the doubts that she had for the situation. She simply flashed a sweet smile at Zion before leaving to find her colleagues.After Madison left, Zion finally showed his true expression wherein he felt defeated. He returned to the lounge area and called for his secretary. “From
“Thanks, but we don’t need them anymore,” said Paige as she continued to explain how Zion offered her his pair of swimming trunks. “We’ll just use his since he willingly offered them.”Vincent chuckled out loud. “This guy lives up to his name, huh? He’s indeed a difficult person. I’ll need to stay around until the competition ends, who knows, I might discover something interesting.”“Okay, suit yourself then, I have to hide now. Zion left with his intern to discuss some matters. From the looks of it, I think it’s bad news,” said Paige as she recalled the look that Zion gave her when he left with Madison. She suddenly felt chills run down her spine.She tightened the collar around her neck and asked, “Is everything ready? Zion knows that I didn’t bring any swimming attire with me, so we’d be exposed if Yoel changed into his swimwear.”“Don’t worry, leave it to me,” said Vincent as he reached into his backpack and pulled out a set of sports attire and cap. He then handed them to Paig
Yoel only thought of provoking Zion and did not think of how Paige was careful with her words around Zion as she did not want to cause any trouble.Zion flew into a fury when Yoel provoked him and immediately threw a punch at Yoel.Yoel was not able to avoid his punch in time and his entire body crashed hard against the locker when Zion’s fist landed on his face. Yoel then tried to get up and staggered towards Zion hoping to return him a punch.If Yoel was still in his glory days as an athlete, he would have been able to get in a few extra punches even if he would not be able to defeat Zion. However, Yoel was now weaksomeday. Before his fist could even land on Zion’s face, his wrist was grabbed by Zion and he was once again slammed to the ground.“So, you think that you can touch me? Why? Do you think that you won’t be thrown in jail again for the financial fraud case since you were bailed out? Let me tell you, with how you’re behaving around the company, I can make the cops come f
When Zion showed up again at the swimming pool, he was not wearing a swimming cap and neither did he have a towel over his shoulders. He simply had on a pair of swimming trunks and he showed off his sculpted body figure and his pair of long legs. At the sight of that, the female employees that were attracted to him previously fawned over him.One of the girls said to her friend, “This is just too much, isn’t it? Madison’s such a lucky girl. If cheating is legal, I’d risk everything I’ve got just to be with him!”“Even if you want to, Zion needs to give his consent too, right? Who knows, maybe Madison’s his type. I think it’d be wiser if you target someone else instead,” said the friend as she looked around the other guys that were by the swimming pool, trying to pick out a few decent-looking guys for her friend.However, no matter how hard she tried, no one could be compared to Zion.As Zion’s assistant, Madison was in the middle of making preparations for the competition with on
“Miss Sanders, you’re still not pregnant.”The glint of hope in her eyes faded away instantly. Biting down on her lips, Estelle Sanders mumbled, “Alright…”With a pitiful look on his face, the doctor passed her the examination report. “Miss Sanders, how about...giving up? You’re overstretching your body and it can’t stand another distress. Even if you were to get pregnant, we can’t say for sure that you’ll be able to reach the full-term pregnancy…”Biting her lips, Estelle was silent as her body turned stone cold. The doctor was concerned about her. He called out to Estelle, “Miss Sanders, are you feeling all right?”“I’m fine and I’m listening.” Her voice sounded shaky and it seemed that blood had drained her lips, turning it pale-white. Looking at her, the doctor let out a deep sigh, “You know, if you go through with the chemotherapy now, it might increase the chances of extending your life.”“That’s not necessary. I must get pregnant,” As she stood up, she insisted, “Doctor
When it came to her, Skyler was filled with resentments. He showed no pity for her and did not utter a word to Estelle. Tears streamed down Estelle’s eyes, but she remained silent. Choking on her sniffles, Estelle started coughing strenuously. She lied on the bed for quite a while as she did not have the strength to sit up. She was in tremendous pain. With an icy cold voice, Skyler uttered, “Sign the papers.”“...”She sat up shakily and asked, “You’ve been drinking?”“It’s none of your business!”“Your stomach’s not in a good shape, try to cut down on the alcohol.”“How could I possibly touch you if I’m sober?”A force of strong blood smell rushed up to her throat, and the sticky fluid leaked from the corners of her lips. Estelle frowned while she wiped her mouth clean with the bedsheet under her. Her heart turned stone cold. She kept a calm and gentle voice. “You came home really fast, there isn’t much traffic is there?”Skyler had already tidied himself up. He lit up
The magical love story between Skyler and her ended in just five years.Five years ago on the day before their wedding dinner, Skyler’s parents passed away in a terrible car accident and the culprit of the accident was alleged to be Estelle’s father. Not long after the accident, Estelle’s mother and uncle acquired the Flynn family’s businesses. Just like that, H city’s two infamous families were forced to merge brutally and cruelly. Estelle’s uncle became the person who held the power by inheriting both the Flynn’s and Sander’s family inheritance. The ending was unexpected. Though, by the looks of the incident, it was as if it was a big ploy and conspiracy the Sanders family had against the Flynn family. The incident ended with the Sander family’s victory. Everything took place in a flash and when Estelle was just able to comprehend the situation, Skyler made up his mind to break up with her. He smashed all of the glass bottles filled with the paper stars in front of her. Scatte
