Patrice POV"Grandpa?"I couldn't believe my eyes! The room was a bit dark but I could see the silhouette with the help of light flooding from outside the door.There leaning on the wall was a life-size portrait of my Grandpa. What is that doing there? It seemed unfinish yet as there were several brushes and paint that litter around. Is my husband trying to paint my Grandpa?I tried to look for a light switch using my phone's flashlight. When I finally found one and turned it on, bright light flooded the room.I could say Resh did a great job in renovating the stables to be his home. It was simple but neat. Some of the old furniture from the mansion were here but they look better and cared for in here. There was even a fireplace with an animal hide near it for a carpet. It felt cozy and warm. It was just one room with kitchen on one side, a foldable couch on one corner that may serve as his bed probably. Above the fireplace were some books. Forex,

Author's POV CLANK CLANK CLANK ... The noise of pots and pans falling made my spirit  jump. I was feeling so sleepy  after finishing the thirteenth chapter just a few hours ago. My brains refused to think further. It had been three days that I have continuously worked on my novel everytime.  I would  finish all the house work. Still yawning and stretching my arm, I opened the door to check what the commotion was about. Spat! An egg suddenly  hit me on my forhead. "Bull's Eye! " "Dang, why 'd you do that? " I stared angrily at my mother-in-law, who obviously was making all the noise in the kitchen which happened to be just outside my room. I reached for a towel nearby and wiped off my face. "What time is it Resh?  Are you trying to make people here fast?" She returned my glare with a more fierce look. "I'm sorry Madam. " I bowed my head unable to hide another yawn. I reached out for the frying pan a

Chapter 16 Ten Million Dollars   As I was taking my seat, Borj stood up to lock the door. We don’t want the surprise look of our staff when they open the door and find me seated in the manager’s chair. “Want some coffee first?”, Borj offered. “Let’s get down to business first. What is ten million dollars doing in my account?” “Why do I sense you are annoyed? Shouldn’t you be happy you have more money?” The mocking face. He looks playful today. What could be up on his sleeve? “You need coffee. Just one moment. I can get my secretary to do that for us.” He stood up and press some numbers on the intercom. “Sweety, get us two coffee in here, one dark and strong and one latte.” I promptly stood up from the manager’s chair and I was standing by the window curtains already when we heard a knock at the door. Borj stood up to open the door and let his secretary in. “Thank you my dear” he said and locked the door aga

Being in a rich family doesn't mean being always happy. I've learned that at a young age from my father. He had to be away often for overseas trip and when he was in city, he still can't spend enough time for himself and his family. He and my mother were university sweethearts. Because he didn't come from a well-to-do family, he had to work his ass off to prove he was worthy to be part of the Donovan Family. And just when you are doing well and on your way to the top, people start to get envious and drag you down. The worse thing is that it will be people of your blood or circle who will do the most unimaginable things to bring you down.So I had refused every help from the Donovan family. The grand patriarch of the McLain finally discovered my lineage but  I made him vow to keep it a secret. In exchange for his silence, he made me marry his most beloved granddaughter, Bridda. He wanted to secure her future no matter what happens to his perfume company. He knows too well

I was back in Borj's office and he had a guilty worried look in his face.  "Boss~~ ..." It sounded more like a whimper with a gay intonation. "Yes Borj, I know already. You didn't have a hand in this." "Phewww! Aint am I relieved!" He tried to wipe imaginary sweat on his forhead,"I really didn't know they were involved until Mister Clyde came today." "He gave this invitation by the way. It seems a grand masquerade ball will be held next week to announce the upcoming TV Series." Borj handed a green envelope bearing the Webtoon Office name on it.  I reached out for the envelope and brought it to the couch. It held two tickets to the grand masquerade ball  to be held in Grand Platinum Hotel, one of the most lavish 5 star hotel in the city. Basically, among the hotel chains of my grandfather.  "It's a masquerade ball. Shall we attend then?" "You can." I told him disinterestedly..  "Why not you? Nobo
