“You said that your mother is your grandpa’s biological daughter. There should be no reason for Lina and her son and your father to fight over the shares of the Harris Company. They are not directly related to your grandpa. They are outsiders. Am I right?” I asked with passion as burning as a bonfire that had just been lit. “It seems I forgot to tell you something. After my father picked me up from my grandpa’s house, it turned out that my grandpa had investigated Lina’s origins and from that investigation, it was discovered that Lina was the daughter of a woman who had a brief relationship with grandpa when he was young. Then, because of curiosity and guilt nesting in grandpa’s heart, he asked Lina to do a DNA test and you can guess the results. My grandpa had another daughter whom he met as an adult. Since then, Lina has become different. She acts arrogant after knowing that she is grandpa’s biological daughter and may inherit. With her sweet mouth, she influenced my father and Sean

“Sam, I suggest you hand over your position as director to your brother, Sean. He is an adult now and quite knowledgeable. I see he can work well in your place. By reducing your busy life, you can attend therapy to cure your paralysis so you can walk again. Your stubbornness will accomplish nothing. The other shareholders have agreed to make Sean the new director. You are incompetent anymore with your current condition. A year has passed, but you are still not cured. Doctor said that you can walk again by following the therapy. Come on, Sam,” said someone in an annoyed tone. ‘So Sam can recover. But why doesn’t he want to get well?’ “Whether I want to recover is my business and has nothing to do with my performance. I can still do my job well as a director. Then, where is the problem?” he asked. I wanted to see their faces clearly, but if they caught me eavesdropping, they might kick me out. I guess it would be better if I listened quietly even though this curiosity urged me so stro

“Now stretch your arms to your sides, lift your head towards the sky and let the raindrops drip down your face and body. Let go of all the burdens that are in your heart and let the rainwater cool your feelings. Tell yourself that you can overcome everything and you are not alone.”Samuel did what I asked. He spread his arms out to the sides, his face turned up to the sky. He let the raindrops hit him. Unknowingly, my tears came out, along with the raindrops that wet my face.This was where we stand, in the middle of a quiet city at night and under the pouring rain that wet our bodies, hoping that the heavy burden on our hearts would ease a little.Maybe fate brought us together, two mentally injured people. Two imperfect people. Life was so cruel to play us in such a way. The wound was so deep that it felt like only crying could ease the pain.But I was grateful to meet him. Even though my life was dirty and inversely proportional to him, he still wanted to pull me out of the mire of

The bunch of people who sold me to Sir Jason a year ago. “Good morning, Aunt Linda, Sonya. Nice to see you here,” I said, while giving them a beautiful smile. It quite surprised me when I saw a man standing beside Sonya. He was not an ordinary man and was related by blood to Samuel. He was Sean Harris, Samuel’s step-brother. However, what was Sean’s relationship with Linda and Sonya? “Oh, look who we met this morning. She had enough guts to be here. Maybe she doesn’t know that she doesn’t deserve to be here,” Sonya said, giving me a sharp look and observing me from head to toe. Aunt Linda stood beside Sonya and didn’t answer my greetings. Carol whispered in my ear, “Who are they?” “Let me introduce them, Carol. Standing in the middle is my aunt, Linda Swan. Then, standing to my aunt’s left, is my cousin, Sonya Swan. While standing on my aunt’s right is Sean Harris, my brother-in-law,” I said, smiling at the three of them. Aunt Linda was silent and just glared at me. I wonder what

His cherry-red lips smiled, then he whispered in my ear, “We’ll wait until tonight and I’m waiting for a surprise from you.”What surprise did he expect from me? Was it possible that he wanted me to do striptease in front of him before intercourse? Considering I’ve never danced a striptease in front of him.“Okay,” I replied, while winking at him.Then, he and Leo headed back to the office, while Carol and I went back to enjoying our special day. Alex waited for us in the boutique while reading a book.In the evening, when all the maids had gone to rest. Samuel lay on the bed, waiting for me to come out of the bathroom.“Jenny, are you still long?” he asked impatiently.“I’ll be out in a minute,” I replied as I tied all of my hair back in a ponytail. Before leaving the bathroom, I reconfirmed my appearance for the night and I was going to seduce him.I pressed the bathroom door knob down and the door opened.“I am here now,” I said as I closed the bathroom door tightly.“Whoa.
