Natasha woke up that morning to an open window which she had intentionally forgotten to lock the previous night, maybe because she enjoyed the natural breeze that was coming in through the window.It felt so..."Soothing." Natasha said, staring out of the window before she got out of bed. She went to sit in front of her dressing mirror and stared into it. Looking at her reflection now made her realize how much weight she had lost and how neglected she was looking over the last few months. She had practically become a shadow of herself ever since Henry got missing and had been presumed dead. She had found herself unable to live with his absence ever since then.She had gone to bed with her mother banging on her door the previous night, trying to find out what was wrong with her and trying to get her to come downstairs and have something to eat.Even though she felt bad for her mother who was obviously worried about her, she still could not bring herself to go outside, nor could she eve
Madame Gu slipped the ring into her middle finger while standing in front of the mirror. It was finally the day for the much awaited ball.She stared at her reflection in the mirror. This was not her, this was not what she used to look like. But everything that had happened within the past few days had reduced her into a shadow of herself.Natasha had also been invited to the ball and Madame Gu wondered why. Her company had not formed any alliance with the Floater group, Henry whom she was supposed to get married to and strengthen the relationship between the two companies is nowhere to be found, and had been presumed dead by the law enforcement agents and the cops.But Madame Gu had refused to believe that her son was dead. But why wasn't there? If he wasn't dead, why was he yet to show up?A tear dropped from Madame Gu's eyes, but she was able to hold it back and run her thumb over her eyes to get rid of the tears the moment she heard her room door pushed open from outside."Miss Na
Every other person in the ballroom went numb and stared at the center of the room like they had seen a ghost. In fact, they had indeed seen a ghost because everyone initially believed that Henry was dead.Yes! Henry Floater was standing in the middle of the room.Miguel was quick to regain his composure immediately, he was the first to speak."What are you doing here? How did you escape?" He asked under his breath, pointing at Henry. "Shouldn't you be in prison? How did you show up here without fear of being thrown back in jail?"It was finally Madame Gu's turn to speak as she turned towards Miguel and cast him an angry glance."Don't you dare speak about my son like that." Madame Gu said and finally ran towards Henry. "Where have you been, my son? What happened to you?" She stood from afar, unsure if she should touch him or not.She swallowed hard as she studied his face, it was really Henry.Henry reached out for his mother and hugged her. His eyes were focused on Natasha who was s
"Welcome back young master." Henry's subjects bowed before him.Exclusive sports cars that could only be spotted in the country were littered around the arena. The splendid welcome rug was enough to make the jaws of anyone fall apart. Together with the apex building that shaded its shadows around Henry, the extent of his power could not be fathomed.The subordinate tore apart in separating motions, leaving a straight line in their middle and revealing a lady coated in splendor.Her age counted up to forty but she was still beaming like the morning sun ray and the perfect smile, skin as smooth as silk."Welcome back Henry." Her hands were wide as they engaged each other in a warm hug of delight.It's been three years now that Henry was sent away from his home. It was the family's tradition that for one to become the heir, they had to face three forms of hardship..Failure to do this would also mean forfeiting their rights to becoming the heir. First, they face some sort of hardship o
Henry scoffed, bitter sorrows welling up through his vines. He had given her the company to tell her it was a gift for their wedding anniversary.But there she was, divorcing him because of it. His heart raced harder, increasing the height of his pain."Do you believe he did it for you?" Henry shot a cold and gave right into her eyes.His words made cold waves of laughter go around the hall like multiple chatters."Stop being such a fool already." James, the eldest son of the family, sprouted out."If it wasn't Kelvin that did it, who else could have." His laughter welled up even more."Maybe he is going to tell us next that he was the one that got the contract for himself. How pathetic." Others laughed.Kelvin smiled, pushing himself into the spotlight, and said. "I know that you are bitter now brother and you can't acknowledge what I did for them.And I know the reason that you are afraid to sign the contract, you don't know how you are going to live on the streets. But you don't h
There was a strange recognition between them both as they kept on staring at each of them.Then Henry does not notice where he might have known her from. That was the very well-known Evelyn, his previous colleague where he walked as a Janitor. 2468She is his senior and has always been torn on the flash during that period."What are you doing here? Just a small opportunity and you were already planning to steal?" She threw away every single inch of her professionalism since they were the only ones in the store after all.Henry was stunned."Steal?" His brows furrowed."Don't act like you are deaf, if you aren't here to steal, then tell me, what else are you here to do?" She replied.Her heart seemed open to hear him out. But there was every trace of mockery in her voice. "I came here to get some clothes." He responded, not expecting her to believe anyway.The laughter that spewed from her mouth had the energy to awaken the neighbors in the area.She tried to stop but her wits were no
Henry continued to search for it but no matter how much he did, he could not find it."It was right here." He mumbled to himself calmly.Mr. Mark frowned."What tricks are you trying to come up with this time?" His brows furrowed."It's obvious that she already lost the bet and there is no trick under his sleeves anymore." Evelyn smiled brightly."Hey, Stinker." She called out to Henry. "You should drop the act of yours already and admit defeat. You are Just going to do the licking for a day."Evelyn brought out her cell phone and pushed her shoes off her feet, going further to say still smiling."I just need to get a capture of your face licking my feet so I will post it on my social media account.""Don't worry." She furthered with a really cute face."I am sure that you are going to trend all over the internet for the first time in your life all thanks to me."Henry stopped standing. An obvious frown on his face now.They all shot glances at him, the only thing that he could do now
"Are you planning to take that scumbag as your wife?" She eyed.He didn't want to talk about it. Staring at the wristwatch in his hands, he quickly said, hiding the sigh that was hiding on his face."Mom, I am going to be back really soon." He responded.Henry stormed off and got into the room. Getting dressed as soon as he could, he soon left for the party.The venue of the party glittered from afar. Even though they still had almost thirty minutes to begin, most of them had already arrived for the party.What for the others that were yet to arrive? Their cars raced on the street as though they were in some sort of marathon."Get out of the way you scumbag! Not like the heir is going to favor you anyways." Drivers on the verge of breaking out yelled at each other.At some point, Henry Could not help but smile."Stop here." He turned over to the guard who drew a stop with a confused expression on his face."I am going to highlight here." Henry further stated his intentions.The drive
