Jennifer looked at him and turned away. Julia is fighting a cold war with her and Eddie. He wants her to know that he doesn't appreciate what they did to him. "Julia, I know you are upset with your brother and myself. But please, I want you to let it go. I am not comfortable with you behaving so cold towards us. You are the only friend I've got in the entire Li's Group. If you keep snubbing me, I will not be able to feel comfortable and concentrate on my work…."Jennifer was coaxing him. But she didn't dare say she nor Eddie was sorry. There was nothing to be sorry about, Eddie did the right thing and took the right decision. "I just needed to be alone, Agatha. I don't want people around me that's why" Julia replied, without his usual cheerfulness. " I missed your smiles and friendship. I was wondering if we can go to lunch together today since my boyfriend is not around to accompany me" Jennifer asked. Clara held down his lower lip and closed his eyes. He doesn't
Eddie stopped in his tracks when he saw a man who felt familiar to his eyes. What's more, the man sitting sipping his drink in the corner of the café also looked in Eddie's direction."Who is he? But, I'm confused about where I met him before. If he's a man from the prison before, he seems too neat and charismatic. I remember clearly the scary faces of every inmate in that prison," Eddie muttered."What's wrong?" Eddie was startled by his friend who appeared from behind."Nothing, let's go." Eddie tried to remain calm as he walked towards an empty chair conveniently available near the unfamiliar man.
"Hey, you! Your eyes have been watching me since earlier, what's your problem, young man?"That question made Eddie stop eating. He glanced at the strange man who was looking at him while grinning sharply"I'm sorry, but I was just thinking that your face resembles someone I know, sir. I apologize if that makes you uncomfortable," Eddie said calmly.The man looked around and then pulled out a business card from his jacket pocket, tossing it towards Eddie. The card landed right on Eddie's plate of pasta, and as Eddie reached for it, the stranger got up from his seat."Contact me at that number, maybe we can discuss something. I'd like you to come alone, without your friend," the stranger said, patting Eddie on the shoulder before walking away. Eddie watched his steps as he neared the exit.A name was written on the card, 'Roland Brick', CEO of White Star Management."He's a CEO? In that case, he's not the person from prison, why would he give me this business card?" Eddie muttered, puz
"Simon, there's a beautiful woman who's been looking at you since earlier, maybe for almost a minute now without blinking."Eddie furrowed his brow and glanced puzzled at West, his current position facing West again making him curious about the woman who had been staring at his back."Maybe it's a freaky girl with a fetish for someone's back?" Eddie quipped with a chuckle.West shook his head quickly. "I'm serious, Simon, and now she's walking towards us! Damn it, have you dealt with a woman in this town?"West's voice lowered, and he immediately averted his gaze to the wall to avoid the woman, who was now approaching their table. Eddie finished the last of his drink and quickly turned around, meeting the gaze of the woman West had been talking about.Eddie's expression looked stunned when he saw the woman's face. He swallowed hard and said, "Livya?"Livya smirked slyly, and her hand quickly reached Eddie's face, which he couldn't avoid."How dare you, Simon!" Livya yelled, causing ev
'How are you? You haven't messaged me for a month, do you hate me?'Jennifer's message made Eddie sigh deeply. He closed his phone screen and put it back into his bag. Eddie's eyes wandered back to the dark streets. The factory sign was already visible, indicating that they would soon arrive after nearly 4 hours of travel.And sure enough, in less than five minutes, the car carrying them stopped right in front of the factory entrance."West, we've arrived, wake up," Eddie said to his friend who was still sound asleep.With half-closed eyes, West reluctantly stepped out of the car. Eddie just shook his head as his friend stumbled out as if he were drunk."Open your eyes, you can go inside--."Eddie's sentence suddenly stopped when someone hugged him from behind."Hi, I miss you."The soft whisper came from Celine, her hand even reaching for Eddie's sensitive area."Hey, not here," Eddie muttered softly, giving a friendly smile to Celine, yet for some reason, Celine's face now seemed to
Jennifer glanced at Simon, but he was having this 'i don't care attitude'. He seemed to be fully immersed on the phone in his hands. A quiet smile slightly tilted on his lips. The two people who want a daughter and granddaughter who look like either of them. They would be surprised that the girl was going to look like him. That's if it's a girl that has just been formed. " Yes mum. I just confirmed that I am pregnant today and I know it's going to be a girl" Jennifer was confident. " Oh Daniella dear!" Cara cannot hide her surprise and happiness. She heldDaniella's hands and smiled. Simon watched them from his split vision. The two women were happy and the younger woman was being treated like a celebrity. His mother was feeling really pleased that they were getting married that weekend. She said the Freding was perfect that her granddaughter is planted in Daniella's womb at the right Frede. She told her not to stress herself nor do anything that would wear her ou
It was going to be a quiet wedding but she deserves to look sweet. She wore high strappy designer shoes and her hair was made into a bun with a few curly strands falling over her face. She wore light waterproof makeup and held a bouquet of flowers. Laura was there with her, she was going to be her bridesmaid helping her with the overflowing part of her wedding dress. Laura was looking beautiful too. She wore a milk coloured mermaid dress and block print designer shoes. Soon Tony walked in. "We have to leave now, the groom is already waiting" he said and looked at Daniella. Tony was Daniella's twin brother and he was as happy as the bride herself. He looked good in his designer's suit and Laura admired him more. "Daniella, I never knew a day like this was going to come in my life. I don't know my family, my parents or that I was a twin and had a sister. But fortune made us meet and today we got to know each other. You are important to me and I wished that one of our p
" You were the man who crushed Ye Xiaoxi that led to her death. And you accepted to murder her daughter? Or you don't know Jennifer is Ye Xiaoxi's daughter?" Tony demanded. Tony's voice was hoarse and contained a lot of bitterness. One can tell he felt bitter and angry at the fellow sitting before him. " I know but please, pardon me. Greed made me lose my conscience and I do anything for money.." Alex Si pleaded. He looked at Tony's face and bent his head down. He knew his fate was going to be determined by these men seated. He was evil in his acts and only wished that the men would be kind hearted enough to spare him. "I will be sending you to Join Ye Xiaoxi where you sent her. I am Jennifer's brother and Ye Xiaoxi's son. You killed my mother and attempted to do same to my sister and ask that I pardon you..?" Tony bellowed. Simon was furious. "Someone come, chisel out his teeth without leaving any behind. After that cut off his toes and fingers, cut his genitals an
