Cassie didn't know how come but she eventually crossed over to where her Meghan was laying there bleeding from all sorts of places.A crowd had formed and nobody there knew that Cassie was Meghan's daughter. They were all talking over each other, mixed with the honking sounds from vehicles, Cassie felt like dying on the spot. She walked through the crowd and saw her mother. Many people were only looking at the body while there were some who were generous enough to call for an ambulance. Cassie went on her knees and pulled her mother into her arms.Meghan was breathing slightly.She wasn't dead yet but it didn't mean she was out of the woods, however, it was enough to give Cassie hope. Tears slid down from her eyes as she held her mother tightly, she ran her now blood red stained fingers over her mother's face to dry the tears, though she was also crying.Cassie had succeeded in gaining the curious gazes of everyone. Some people were even irrational enough to pick their phones to st
To tell the truth, Avery had been slightly grateful that this job had nothing to do with Davide. She thought that maybe this person had something against a number of people and it just so happens that Davide was included.All those thoughts disappeared when she saw Davide running into the hospital with a man following right behind him.She didn't know how to feel but she wanted to kill herself.She couldn't take the heavy boulder of guilt pressing down at her anymore. She wanted to tell Davide, to inform him that somebody was out to get him. She wanted to give him at least a little information that would explain a lot of things to him but she didn't know how to go about it. She figured this anonymous person had someone watching over her. When she had talked to Davide then, they had reprimanded her. They had found out and it could only be because she was being followed.She needed to be stealth about it.She scanned the parking lot, there were a number of cars around so she couldn't g
With the way the question sounded, it was as if Mr Lee himself was quite familiar with Mr Bach.Davide and Cassie turned to him with questioning gazes. Davide wondered how it was possible that Mr Lee knew the man and he also wondered what Mr Lee could know about him. However, it was impossible that he would know more than Cassie did. "Yes," Davide said. "Do you know him?"Mr Lee nodded his head, "I've seen him a few times. He's well known for his crimes, everybody knows he pushes drugs but there isn't any proof against him, it's like he bought the police".Cassie shook her head, "no. I know there are some good police officers there, not all can be bought".Mr Lee chuckled, "have you met any?" He asked her.Cassie frowned, "Davide, you didn't introduce this man to me"."He is Mr Lee, he's my assistant".Cassie raised her eyebrows, "pray tell, what's an assistant doing here?" "I came to sympathize with you," Mr Lee said. "I have been in your situation before". His tone was calm and h
Avery's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She bolted out the door immediately and climbed into her car. She zoomed straight to the office wondering where she had gone wrong in life.It was probably when she started to listen to her mother's words about her husband, or when she should've begged Davide but instead her pride had swallowed her whole. Or when she should have counted the money and wondered why on earth someone would be paying her such an amount of money just so she could ruin Davide's presentation.Her life had plummeted when she had squandered that money. She had did such a grand job expecting that more money would come. She didn't need to be told that she wouldn't be getting any more money. She also didn't need to be told that, at the moment, she could only buy herself out of the situation she was in. There was no way for her to afford such an amount of money, especially in such a short while, she figured that the only way was either letting her mother die or just ro
Cassie was a bit shocked that Derek decided to ask Zeta such a question. She wondered if he was unaware of the feelings Zeta had towards Davide. She wondered if he had asked that question so as to remind Zeta of her position, of where she should stand.However, whether or not she wondered, she was still very much pleased that Zeta was put on such a spot. She was happy that Zeta was going to be reminded that in this world she would forever remain just a secretary. She must've thought that spending time around the rich would suddenly make her rich as well, make her look important.Hell, she was a servant and that was what she would remain.Zeta frowned, she knew that Derek had an idea of the romantic feelings she had for him, many times he had warned her, preaching to her that people like Davide were made to spend the rest of their lives with people like Cassie. The rich were made for the rich and there was no place for a poor secretary like her. Whether or not she wore designer cloth
Zeta's eyes darted behind Davide to where Cassie was standing looking at her with a knowing smirk on her face. Zeta really wanted to peel that arrogant smirk off her face.She didn't know what to say anymore, she had wanted to confess her feelings to Davide or maybe try to get him to talk to her as it's been awhile they conversed and yes, she had been missing him. But with the presence of Cassie, she couldn't do such a thing . She had to just stare and wish that some unfortunate situation would befall the woman behind Davide.She hated Cassie."Don't worry about it" Zeta said as she shook her head and walked away yk her room.Davide turned around, there was something in him that told him that what Zeta wanted to say to him was that she liked him. To tell the truth, he had been panicking, he hated rejection and also hated rejecting people and he didn't know how to reject them without coming off as being mean or heartless.He had eyes for only the woman behind him and that woman was we
Davide blushed then shook his head. During the time they were spending together, he figured that they would be heard by how loud Cassie was screaming. He didn't mind it though, he liked that he could hear the sound of her pleasure and he wasn't about to mute her.Well, unfortunately, his uncle had heard him too."And here I thought you won't be able to make it to work today".Davide laughed and shook his head, "business is business, pleasure is pleasure".Derek laughed loudly before walking away.Davide also wanted to laugh and walk away, but from the corner of his eyes, he saw Zeta leaving her room. He wanted to say hello to her and ask how she slept but he figured she must not have slept well, considering that Cassie had been screaming from midnight till five in the morning before he allowed her some rest.Zeta also looked like she didn't want to talk to him. Davjde was skeptical, he didn't want to make her feel weird especially about last night when she had wanted to say something
Beatrice stared at the gold wordlessly. Well, it wasnt kike anyone was in the house with her that she could say anything to. She didn't know what to think or what to do. She thought of calling Avery but she didn't want to disrupt whatever she had going on.She knew her daughter wasn't so rich that she could just acquire gold bars through legal means and from the amount of gold in the bag, jt was surely not a legal business. Beatrice was heartbroken. She wanted to ask herself where she had gone wrong but then she admitted that regarding Avery, she never actually did anything right. She had not been a good mother and only now was she trying to make a difference, to be a better person, a better mother, but the time was already too late. Avery had lost her daughter and her husband and if the cause of those unfortunate situations could be traced, it would be found that she had been the one responsible for it.She was the only one responsible for what she had done. Nobody could be blamed
