Semua Bab When Life Takes A Turn: Bab 531 - Bab 540

Brock sniped a glance at Zayn’s stupid grin and snickered to himself. Looks like he was facing a guy with a few screws loose!The call he had made earlier was, unsurprisingly, made to Mr. Rivera. After a brief—but not wanting to exaggerate details—account over the phone, Mr. Rivera had gotten so sufficiently enraged that he promised he would get to where he was as soon as he could.The thing about Mr. Rivera was that he was one of the upper echelons of Violet Vision Media Corp—a very important man who was worth hundreds of millions in net worth. He was also Brock’s senior and the reason why the latter obtained the opportunity to work in the chairman’s brand-new advertising agency. Mr. Rivera had been the one who introduced Brock’s talent to Sean.And now, his benefactor was coming to do right. With the man’s temperament and mettle, Brock was sure this Larson guy had no way to run! This was especially since he had a good grasp of how powerful Mr. Rivera was; Brock’s skills could not

Jose Rivera swore to God—he had never imagined the man Brock accused of impersonating the chairman would be the genuine article himself!Looking at that half-smile hanging on Zayn’s lips right now made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. If one had to ask who he feared the most in the entire world, his answer would, undoubtedly, be Zayn Larson himself.Jose had lived well into his middle age; his battles in the world of business had been numerous as much as they were fabled. Years spent in the world added experience and knowledge, hardening the man’s natural mettle and grit, and for the most part, he was the kind who would not bend a knee to anyone, let alone fear them.Zayn, however, was a different thing altogether. Just a glance at him drew out primal fear from the deepest recesses of his mind.When he first met the chairman, Jose had been dismissive of the young man. He made the mistake of thinking Zayn was another one of those trust-fund kids, a brat who thought

“So what if you’re already married?” Alexandra whispered under her breath, her cheeks burning bright red as she looked at the tip of her shoes. “I don’t mind being your mistress.”It seemed like her suggestion shocked a few years out of Zayn because the man froze into a daze. “What—the hell did you just say?!”Honestly, Alexandra herself was taken aback by the words that escaped her lips. Her cheeks were practically feverish.“No! No, that was… another joke!” she said, trying to salvage the conversation as she shook her head.Zayn could not believe it. “Seriously? How old are you, man? You’re in your twenties! Quit being so childish and watch what you say!” he chided a little exasperatedly. “If your parents heard you, God, I bet they'd be so mad their hair would burst into flames!”Alexandra was dismissive though. She mumbled under her breath, “Yeah, right. They’d love the idea of you and me being an actual item.”She had said it so softly that Zayn could not hear her over Mary a

The woman stared at the young man’s image, her eyes brimming with warmth and yearning. They were so soft, so overwhelming, she could stare at the world with those eyes and watch it melt under her gaze.“Oh, Zayn, how are you lately? Have you found your mother’s baggage? I’m so sorry for what I did to you… Oh, what I did to the family…”Tears adorned her melancholic eyes. Two of them broke away and splashed onto the embroidered image, drenching the young man’s forehead.A flash of scarlet appeared behind the woman without a peep, its movement featherlight and quiet as to avoid rousing the woman from her meander into the past.Nevertheless, the woman sensed the figure’s presence. She wiped her tears away and raised her head, welcoming it with a smile. “I’m glad to see you here, Lysithea. Please, would you mind keeping me company with a chat?”The woman in her twenties, Lysithea, turned out to be a ravishing beauty whose presence eclipsed everything else in her vicinity. She was so m

Hayley’s hand flipped and caught the young woman’s grip. “I cannot thank you enough, Lysithea.”Lysithea’s lips widened into a radiant smile that could put the sun to shame. She threw herself into Hayley’s arms and stayed there the same way a mother’s youngest daughter would. “It’s no trouble at all, Aunt Hayley. My life’s only purpose is to serve you! And since Zayn’s the only thing that could bring you any sense of comfort and joy, of course, he becomes my unique responsibility. He’s like a little brother to me!”Hayley stroked Lysithea’s hair softly while she graced the latter with her gentle, warm eyes. “Taking you into my care from the streets is truly one of the best choices I’ve ever made, Lysithea.”“To be able to stay by your side for every waking moment is just… It’s the most blessed thing to have ever happened to my life!” she replied. “If it weren’t for you, Aunt Hayley, I don’t know what’s the point of my existence in this world at all.”“God, you silly girl!” Hayley l
