Davide had a look of sheer confusion on his face. He wanted to understand that she was having a hard time, from what Beatrice had told him, he could estimate that she lost the baby either last night or this morning. However, he couldn't place where his fault was. He wasn't the one who had downed drugs they shouldn't be taking, he was the one that fell from the staircase. He had lived with her accusations, calling him a gigolo, a cheat, etc. But he would not stand and let her accuse him of killing their child. It was unfair to him. He had suffered greatly in that marriage and now he had his freedom, he was going to be blamed for the death of their child? He was also grieving too, although he wasn't the one who carried the child, nevertheless. It was his child. Just like him, she also never wanted the baby. She wanted an abortion but he had negotiated his way to securing the life of that child and now she had killed it and she wanted to blame him. "What do you mean by that?" Davide
Mr Lee was surprised. He looked around the cemetery even though he wasn't sure what he was looking for. He was shocked to see Davide and even more shocked after hearing the words that left his boss.He had ensured that it was when Davide was unavailable that was when he would leave. He always spent this day like this every year. Nobody knew what he left the office for and it wasn't like they could even ask.He knew if he had just told Davide he was going to see his mother the man would let him. But Mr Lee hated talking about his mother. He had memories of her that he wanted to burn. "Why did you follow me?" He asked.Davide took a deep breath and read the name imprinted on the stone, "Lee ho Jun""Who was she?" Davide asked.Mr Lee saw that he blatantly ignored his question. He didn't want to say anything to Davide about his mother. He knew if he told Davide who she was to him, he would pry more for answers.However, he was obligated to give Davide a reply, "my mother".Davide nodded
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
