Stepping Into The Heir's Heart 10. The Daisy
Bryan went to the charity gala with his mother, who always tended to be a bit overdressed.“Later if Ms.E shows up, could you bring me to say hi?” Bryan asked his mother in the car while they headed towards the gala. “Elena?” Bryan’s mother knew who her son was referring to, “Not someone I would purposefully or naturally want to socialize with.” She raised her chin. Coming from one of Jakarta’s old money Chinese families and a friend of Vincent’s mother, she did not really bother to make friends with Elena. “Please mom. I need to mingle with her for some..um…business reasons.”Bryan’s mother curled her lips and nodded. “She’s always well-dressed though. Always look effortless.”Elena showed up at the gala with a silver silk gown with a matching color embroidered handbag. She looked elegant, and as Bryan’s mother said, effortless. But the collar shaped necklace made of pearls and diamond showed her wealth and good taste discreetly. Age has treated her well - she looked like in her 3
Stepping Into The Heir's Heart 11. The Date
The rainy season in Singapore starts in Nov. It could be annoying to walk outside such as rushing to the workplace, but when it rained during the weekends, seeing the rain drop on the window could be quite relaxing. That was what Vincent was doing on this Saturday afternoon, when it poured outside, the french windows allowed him to see the city in the rain, and the living room felt quiet and cozy. When Melainy opened the door of her bedroom and walked out to get water, she saw Vincent lying on the coach and lost in thought. They had been living in the same apartment for quite a while, but Melainy still always got impressed with his almost perfect facial and body lines, and his good taste in clothes. Just like now, what a beautiful scene it is to see him relaxing on the coach with the dim light inside the room and the heavy rain outside. Melainy slowed down her motions, taking the water softly so that she would not break the scene. “Oh, morning.” Vincent said, realizing Melainy was
Stepping Into The Heir's Heart 12. The Investigation
“So you were on a date while I did the investigation over the weekend.” Bryan complained to Vincent. Vincent shrugged, with a smile, “Spending time with my wife.” He took a seat at Bryan’s study room, “Now tell me what you found.”Bryan sat across from Vincent, taking a deep breath before delivering his findings. "I've got some news about this Jessica," he began, watching as his friend's expression remained unchanged. "I found evidence of a sexual relationship between her and Jerald."Vincent's eyes flickered with annoyance, but he remained composed. "I had a feeling," he said in a measured tone. "But it's not surprising. Jerald has been living with Ms.E for years. He's been disappointing me for a long time."Bryan's investigation had taken him down a winding path, with dead ends and red herrings aplenty. But as he sifted through emails and messages, he began to notice a pattern of communication between Jessica and Jerald. They were subtle at first, but as he dug deeper, the evidence
Stepping Into The Heir's Heart 1. The Lift
Level 48, Group President Office. When the lift door opened, Melainy saw a breathtaking view. The whole Marina Bay is in front of her - MBS, Art Science Museum, and the Singapore Eye…She had been doing an internship in Vaxo Group for 6 months while working on her double degree program, oh and, she took on a part-time job as a math tutor during the weekends. Her internship supervisor was a known workaholic who threw her into multiple projects that even a full-time associate would find challenging. No wonder she had never come to this side of the Vaxo Group building and enjoyed such a view. But she managed to get awarded as the “Vaxo Star Intern”. It was widespread that the “Vaxo Star Intern” would get something amazing - not just a return offer. Rumour said that previous interns used to get 5-day-4-nights stay package at Maldives, or a winter onsen trip to Hokaiido, or one month free stay at Ritz Calton. As Melainy walked towards the mysterious group president office, she wondered w
Stepping Into The Heir's Heart 2. The Dinner
Melainy received a message from Vincent after lunch. He is so old school, she thought. He typed each punctuation correctly in the text message and does not use any emoji. They met in Orchard Road and headed to Paragon shopping center because “a friend told me the stores there are quite nice.” “And expensive.” She added. “Just take it as my ‘thank you’ gift for sending me to hospital, Miss Pay.” He smiled gently, his eyes genuine and sincere. He took her to a few luxury brand stores, and eventually decided on a sand color off shoulder dress with tank top straps. The straps and should design outlined her shoulder beautifully. Staring at herself in the mirror, Melainy didn’t know where to put her hands. Someone put her hair down, now her black hair covered her shoulder, making her look more mysterious yet even more attractive. It was Vincent. He gazed into the elegant but shy young girl in the mirror and murmured, “Let’s get you a pair of high heels.” Before she even noticed, Vi
Stepping Into The Heir's Heart 3. The Guide
Melainy waited at the lobby of the high end service apartment. She did not dress up - just her normal university student look - white T shirt and denim shorts. She looked simple but confident, while women walking inside and out are usually dressed exquisitely, as if the lobby is the high fashion runway. It’s hard to ignore her though, as her eyes are bright and crystal, and her skin naturally glowing. Vincent did not make her wait for long. He wore a white polo t-shirt from Burberry, with beige bermuda shorts from Tommy Hilfiger. He looks healthy and elegant. The white color top matches Melainy’s. You would almost mistake them as a couple. As they walked out of the service apartment, Vincent asked, “So where do you plan to bring me to? ”“Why don’t you make a guess?” Melainy walked slightly ahead of him, towards the MRT station. “Marina Bay Sands? Or…Sentosa?”“That’s all you know about Singapore?”“Of course not. I also know the Merlion statue.” Melainy stopped and looked at him,
Stepping Into The Heir's Heart 4. The Contract
“I saw your email, and then immediately changed to an earlier flight back to Singapore.” Bryan, the partner of S&T Law Firm, grumbled while lying on the sofa of Vincent’s home, still in the Balinese batik shirt, “Why such a change on the contract?”Vincent handed him a glass of wine, “Could you please calm down first?”“I am calm and sober and rational. As your friend and your lawyer, I need to understand why you suddenly want to modify the contract last minute before sending it out. Have you heard of such stories? A billionaire suddenly requests to change the main beneficiary of his will to his female care worker…bloody hell, something must be going on.” Bryan finished the wine and put the glass on the coffee table. Vincent picked up the wine glass and put it in the sink of his open kitchen, “I think I found the right person…but sending her the original contract might just freak her out.”“You found your Miss Right?” Bryan giggled as he sat up, “Just joking. If she may freak out aft
Stepping Into The Heir's Heart 5. The Departure
It started to rain heavily just when Melainy reached Vincent’s home. After signing the contract, Melainy stood up and looked out from the french windows of Vincent’s apartment. It’s on the 22nd floor between Tanjong Pagar and Outram Park, facing the red clay tiled roofs of the heritage shophouses. “When do you want to do the registration?”“When are you going to graduate? I guess we can do it after your graduation.” “In three month’s time.Yes, registration after graduation sounds like a good idea.”“Before that…we should act as a couple in love…” Vincent hesitated for a second, but continued, “Would you like to move in?”Melainy gave it a thought and nodded slightly. She doesn’t have much experience with love relationships. From the books she’s read or the TV dramas she’s watched, she guessed that co-living with the “boyfriend/fiance” is natural evidence to show that a couple is in love. So she would finally move away from Grandma Pay’s room. When Grandma Pay insisted that her youn
