Laura didn't utter a word of objection nor did she affirm what her mother said for she didn't want to divorce Feran. She's been married to him for a few years now and he's been nothing but good to get despite her entire family treating him like a piece of garbage.If only she could tell her mother that she hit the deal because of Feran's involvement and was dependent on his help but she couldn't bring herself to do that. Feran already asked her not to."Mom, you think Feran is utterly useless?" She asked instead.Mitchel nodded and chuckled."Don't tell me you doubt that, Laura."Laura sighed, looking away without saying a word for a minute."Mom," she said, returning her gaze to her mother."Yes?""Give him a year, please. And you're going to see the changed him," Laura requested.Mitchel opened her mouth to say something but couldn't find any words to utter. She still had doubts that Feran was going to change but she silently agreed to her daughter's request."But, Laura. Why do as
When Feran stepped out of the bathroom later in the night, he met Laura awake. He seldom finds her awake by that time so seeing her lost in thoughts in the middle of the night threw him off."Uh, are you okay?" He asked, walking up to the bed with a concerned expression."Yeah. I'm good. I just woke up and I really don't feel sleepy right now," Laura said, sliding out her legs from beneath the blanket."You seem bothered. What's wrong?" He asked. Laura stared at him for a while and shook her head. She was actually thinking about what her mother had said earlier regarding Feran and her ( Mitchel's) wish for her to divorce him. "Nothing is wrong?" Feran asked again, expecting she could say something."Hm. Yeah. I've just been thinking lately, Feran,* she said."Thinking about what?""Your family," Laura muttered. Feran's jaw tightened hearing that. "Oh. So, what about them?" Feran asked dumbly."Where are they? Who are they?" Laura asked, wishing he could give answers to her questions
The manager was totally dumbfounded by Feran's quest and didn't utter a word for some seconds."Sir, the money given by your family, the Anderson's to you was for running the company and business usage only," the manager reluctantly said after regaining his voice."And you've got no right to move it and buy assets for your own purpose. I'm sorry," he added. Expecting Feran to get a bit upset or try to find another way of achieving his aim, the manager was dazed when a smile appeared on Feran's face.Feran, seeing how stunned the manager was by not seeing him down in the mouth, he widened his smile and drew out a card from his pocket."I've always known a day like this would come. And for long, I've alway knew my brother, Vicentzo would someday be in charge of the family business so I had to prepare myself for times like this,"Feran said. His facial expression went sour as his mind flashed back to one certain day he loathed. **** **** ****Feran just got into highschool then an
As presumed by Frank, Mark returned to the mansion the next day and told grandmother all that happened. She couldn't believe what he said."I'm saying nothing but the truth grandmother. That worthless piece of rag, Feran said you should come over yourself since you …" Mark went shut when ma'am Miguel raised up her hand when he tried to convince her to believe him."You know it's solely your fault. Things got messy all because of you, Mark," ma'am Miguel accused, trying not to flare up at him. "I'm sorry, grandmother. I actually went over to see Laura to resolve this issue but…" ma'am Miguel shunned him again by lifting up her hand and she sent him away. She was stunned after hearing what Mark told her that Feran said. She sat in the living room and slidded into deep thoughts.She felt a pang of hatred for Feran and regretted why she hadn't take a serious action to cast him away from the family since he became a part of the family. While she was still in dero thoughts, a maidservant
Feran wasn't impressed by grandmother's threat. A grin exposed her set of white teeth knowing how affected Feran was by her words which sounded like a threat to him."Grandmother, I know the risk of riling you but I'm not bent on doing that. I know you could do what you just said. But it would also cause you a great loss to Miguel family, your family. So, I'm sure you wouldn't just throw the deal with F.A Globe company to get back at Laura's family. I just want you to take Laura seriously, that's all. And if I offended you in any way, I'll apologize," Feran said. Ma'am Miguel's sudden grin became deeper. She knew Laura's parents weren't capable of thinking of any way to piss her off for their mere gratification and neither would they dare to pull off this shit, so it must all be Feran's idea. He is the brain box behind it.She decided not to say anything much but simply smiled and asked:"Where's my granddaughter, Laura?"At that moment, Feran's phone rang. It was Laura calling. He p
"So, grandmother really came here?" Laura asked Feran in great astonishment when they got into their room after Feran and her parents had told her everything that happened in her absence. She still couldn't believe it all."Yes, Laura. She did. You shouldn't be this surprised. Remember I told she was likely to, right?" Feran said with a smile.Laura grinned and clasped her hands. She rolled her eyes and slumped on the bed feeling so happy. She felt her stomach churn in felicity and she went silent for a while, leaving Feran to stare at her."Feran, all your overhope just came to pass. You said Mark was going to come shd he did. Then grandmother…she actually came today. Your plan is working," Laura commented.Feran blushed. He was happy to see her this happy."You don't need to worry much onwards. Things will go well, Laura," Feran assured.Laura nodded. She arose and was about to walk up to Feran standing a meter away from the door to hug him when her mother, Mitchel walked in without
Ma'am Miguel was a little thrilled too when she thought about the secret heir. She couldn't start imagining how much wealth the person who got the grandeur mansion. "Do you know the person who really bought the grandeur mansion?" Ma'am Miguel asked her son, Frank after he walked up to her when he was fine making the announcement. "Um…no, mother. The person who called and gave me the results just said it was an anonymous person that bought the house," Frank said."Mother, that person who bought the house, the anonymous one must be a representative of the Anderson family that sent those expensive gifts on your birthday party," Frank's sister said as she walked up to ma'am Miguel's seat."Thar Anderson family," ma'am Miguel said and paused. She squinted and tilted her head. "I don't really know much about that company. Why haven't I been informed about their tremendous reputation all this while?" She asked, feigning annoyance. "Well they've just been on a low key all this while. But I
When Laura had finished exchanging pleasantries with some business partners ma'am Miguel introduced her to, she glanced back and saw Feran walking off somewhere and Mark was glaring at him with hot eyes filled with loathe. She wondered what could possibly have happened between them. "Let's go over to my table to have a brief discussion," ma'am Miguel proposed after waving at the last business partner of their company whom she sighted. "Um, okay. After you, grandmother," Laura said. Ma'am Miguel walked ahead of her. They got to her table and sat down. "Laura, you know, I've always been proud of you my dear. Even when your late grandfather rashly married you off to that worthless Feran, I still knew it won't hinder you from shining brighter than a star in the sky in the future. Now, I'm certain you'll do greater things for our company," ma'am Miguel said. "I'm so glad to hear you say that, grandmother. I mean it," Laura said with a smile. She had despised her grandmother for a while
