There was a huge grin on her face as she thought of the person that sent her flowers. The day was only starting out, and she felt overworked, that she thought she would have a bad day.The bouquet meant so much to her, as she read the note over again. It was how the person knew that her favorite flower was a daisy was what made her feel elated.She thought that person was so caring, and she wanted to really appreciate him for his caring and kind gestures, but below the note was written in italics, "Anonymous"."Why are you so lost in it? Do you like it?" Vera finally voiced out, after a century of remaining silent.She turned to her, "like? Heck, I love it! You don't know how much this means to me, and I just wished that I could jump on to the person, and hug him tightly for making my day beautiful. It takes a person who knows me very well to remember my favorite flower."Vera smiled in satisfaction, "that's great. The person must really love you to get you a bouquet of daisies. I mea
Harrison froze to the spot. He had asked Vera what time Quinn would arrive at the office, and it was definitely not at the time that she had arrived.He stopped for a moment and then turned around to face her. He looked down, before facing her."You are here," he muttered.She did not say anything; rather, she crossed her arms over her chest and took steady strides closer to him.She took a halt in front of him, her eyes burning with fury for him."What is your problem? Why can't you just give up, and understand that I don't want you? You had to use Vera to execute your plans, why?" She mouthed.He cleared his throat, "Why can't you see it? I love you, Quinn. I know I messed up in the past, but I am here now to ask for your forgiveness. Just give me a chance, please, I promise to make things right," he replied, taking a step closer to her.He held her arms, looking into her eyes. He studied her expression and added."I can see it in your eyes that you love me. Quinn, I know you are st
Quinn could not believe her ears. She looked at him in horror mixed with surprise. She did not even know what to say to him.Before she could comprehend whether or not it was a joke, he picked her up immediately and threw her on the bed.She began to struggle with him, but his grip was so tight that she almost gave up trying to break free.She recalled Harrison's words to her, remembering that he told her to be careful around Greg.Wishing that she could go back in time to refuse his invitation, she let out a scream, but the room was soundproof, so her scream could hardly go past the next room.A tear ran down her cheek, as she wondered if she would end up getting raped and deceived by someone she thought was in love with her.Regret filled her heart as she considered herself foolish for falling for his tricks. He did not notice her back in high school, so how could he have fallen in love with her?"Greg, stop, please!" She begged, struggling with all her might to break free from his
Harrison turned to her, giving her a deep stare. He looked down at her hand that held him.Her eyes were communicating fear and deep emotions he could not explain. He took her in a bridal style, and her arms wrapped around his neck immediately, burying her face in him.He took her to the car and placed her gently inside. He sat in the driver's seat and ignited the engine.As he rode the car, he kept glancing at her, making sure she was okay. She, on the other hand, had her face to the window.Her mind was occupied with a whole lot of thoughts, especially about what happened that day.She never thought Greg would have such intentions towards her. She let a tear flow down, as she thought of how her life was.Was she born to be hurt? Did she come into the world to be toyed with?She took a glance at Harrison. Did he love her? Did she love him too? Her mind was jumbled up with different thoughts and emotions that she could barely be certain about anything.They finally got to his house,
The silence that revolved around the room was a bit eerie, causing Quinn to feel as though she was being a burden to him, considering how complicated their relationship was. "Uh, it's okay if—" "You can stay," he replied, cutting her off, "you stay for as long as you want." She nodded, and lowered her head, finding it difficult to look at him in the eyes. The atmosphere was strange, as none of them said a word. She muttered a thank you to him and rushed to the bathroom. She stayed in there for a while until she was sure that he had gone. She slowly opened the door to make sure that he was not inside, and when she was certain that he was not in, she came out with a white towel wrapped around her chest. Looking around the room, the bed was neatly dressed, and a few boxes of clothes were kept on the bed. It made her wonder how long she had spent inside the bathroom. She picked one of the boxes that had the name "body kit" boldly written on top of it. She opened it to find a se
His aura was domineering, making the atmosphere tense, causing the two men to shiver in fear, as their eyes wore a mask of fear for their lives. "Do you agree?" He asked, but only the thief gave a positive response. He quickly nodded his head, while Greg tried to prove stubborn. It made Harrison let out a chuckle, wondering why he was trying to be tough. He did not mind nor bother him. In the end, he was still going to talk. "I will only ask you two questions. Who sent you to Quinn?" He asked, and paused, studying their faces, "How much were you paid?" The thief was the first to speak up, as he saw Harrison pick up a tool. "I. I was sent by Ms. Lee. She paid me two thousand dollars to make sure that I caused her to be hospitalized. I'm so sorry sir, I had no idea who that lady was." After his confession, he lowered his head down, afraid of what might befall him if he looked up at Harrison. Harrison took a few steps closer to him, "Do you know that your actions are punishable
Vera noticed the bandage on her ankle and realized that something must have happened to her. She rushed in with Jasmine to help her up.Quinn looked away, mouthing a thank you to them for assisting her.Harrison, too got up from the floor, turning to Jasmine."You didn't tell me you were coming.""I was going to surprise you. I did not know you had a visitor. Sorry," she said the last word in a whisper."Let's go downstairs," he said and walked up to Quinn."Let me help you," he said."No, no. I can walk on my own." She refused, limping on one foot.He watched her try to walk on her own, and couldn't help but chuckle.He did not bother asking for her permission anymore, he walked up to her and picked her up."Har—" she could not scream, she just allowed him to carry her downstairs.Jasmine and Vera's eyes were on them as they looked like a newly wedded couple.She averted her gaze, as soon as Harrison placed her on the chair.She could not face any of them as her face was flushed in
"I just want to thank you for saving me. I'm grateful," she said, clamping her hands together, and and fiddling with her fingers.Harrison waited for a while, then, he moved closer to her, placed a hand on hers, and looked into her eyes."You don't have to thank me. I am only doing what I should have done a long time ago, and I promise you, Quinn, I will protect you from anything and anybody that tries to harm you."She looked back at him, searching his eyes for what seemed to be answers to her questions.She could see the sincerity in his eyes, and how concerned he was. It made her heart flutter.He leaned closer, making an attempt to kiss her. She drew closer, as well, but their moment was interrupted by the ringtone on her phone.She quickly retreated and searched for her phone. When she picked it up, she realized who was calling her.It was Ivan."Sorry, excuse me." She said, getting up on her feet.She slowly limped forward, taking some distance away from him.She answered the ph
