Chapter 3

A loud voice replied from behind. “He must be busy with business meetings! , so he doesn't have time for his plain Jane of a wife!  When they heard the sarcastic tone of the voice, they turn around to see Brenda standing by the door with her hand clutched into her bag. After saying that, she stepped into the dining room with an aggrieved look on her face. she was about to take her seat beside her father when grandpa Medina yelled out in a scolding voice. “Is how you talk about your sister? How could you speak so ill of her in front of everyone like that? Grandpa Medina was infuriated by how she always treated Giselle, who in turn showed her nothing but love. Giselle had never hated her for everything she's done to her but she kept making trouble with her purposely. “Brenda, did we raise you to be so arrogant and rude to your sister? Now, apologize to her right and settle everything right this minute” Samantha said after seeing how Brenda was still being indifferent to her grandpa's words. Despite her yelling, Brenda refused to bait an eye so she moved close to her and left a tight slap on her cheek. “Whatever I said is true so I won't apologize to her. Instead of scolding me, you should ask your beloved Giselle!” Smack!!! The sound of the slap reverberated through the hall. With tears in her eyes, Brenda held her cheek with one of her hands while she stare daggers at her aunt Samantha and Giselle. “It's not surprising that you love another person's daughter more than yours, aunt Samantha ” She said before running off to her room while everyone stare after her. Matilda, who's Brenda's mother was angry when Samantha had slapped her daughter right in front of her; she wanted to raise her voice and fight back but she was stopped by Freddie right in time before she does something wrong. After watching Brenda run off to her room, she moved close to Samantha and said.“ Samantha, I would let this slide this once. I'm warning you not to hurt my daughter again. I've lost my appetite ”. With that, she ran after her daughter. not heeding the calling voice of her husband. “Come back here, Matilda! You can't walk like that ”. “Let her go. Give her some time” Grandpa Medina said. Right then, Danica walked into the room with a gentle smile on her face as she approached Giselle. “Giselle sister, when did you come back to the manor? Oh, I heard it's anniversary today as well, happy anniversary sister. Brother inlaw Zayn didn't come back with you?” “No, he's very busy with some work today,” Giselle said with a smile. Then the expression on her face quickly darkened as she thought of how sneaky Danica was. She couldn't understand how a person can be so two-faced. She appeared in front of everyone else in the entire city like a saint, who had never killed a crawling animal before but in reality, she's a vicious witch. who's having an affair with her supposed brother-in-law despite knowing that he's married to Giselle instead. Danica seems to know when and how to pull the strings to gain the public's sympathy. Giselle knows all of this but she couldn't bring herself to tell her grandparents and aunt Samantha about it; she didn't want to hurt them after all they've done for her in the last couple of years. Giselle was so lost thinking about this that she didn't realize that everyone else had sat down for lunch. Grandma's calm voice shove her back to reality as she glanced over the table and saw that lunch has been served. “Sit down and let's have lunch, Giselle. You need to eat a lot today after all it's your big day” Grandma said with a teasing tone, and Giselle blushed at her words. Danica was burning with anger watching all the love being poured on Giselle. she felt angered and wanted to rip Giselle apart. How could this ugly jane be so lucky in life? She has everything that everyone else wanted. money! power! status! And even the position of young mistress of the Meyer family. She even got married to the man she had her eyes set on for a long time and now she's been treated like a queen in front of her. Danica clenched her fists “All of these won't last for long Giselle. I won't let you take Zayn away from me. No, after all, I have done to keep him away from you all of these years; I did everything, I won't let you ruin it. You better enjoy everything you have now, this might be your last chance ” Danica said with a pledging tone after that a sneaky smirk appeared on her face as her gaze suddenly darkened. Danica has always gotten whatever she desires; she's not used to accepting defeat and now that it seems that Giselle was about to gain control of Zayn right under her watch. she felt incredibly hurt that she couldn't hide her anger under the heavy makeup she wore. After laughing for a couple of minutes, Danica threw her bag upside down and brought out her phone. “Make sure, you don't miss the target this time. other, I'll have your heads chopped off ” she yelled as soon as the phone was connected. when she was done with her call, she went into the bathroom to freshen up for her next shoot. The living room, Everyone was done with lunch and Giselle was having a chat with her grandmother when she suddenly recalled her appointment with the doctor. She wanted to leave immediately but she had no idea what to tell the older women so she decided to stick around for a while. while they were still talking, her phone vibrated and when she looked at the screen a look of recognition crept onto her face. “Excuse me, grandma ”. “Mrs. Meyer, I just called call to confirm if you're still coming for your appointment with the doctor. Since she's about to leave for an urgent if you're still coming please hurry up” The sweet voice of a polite lady rang out from the other end of the phone as soon as the call was connected. “Yes sure. I'll be there as soon as I can. I'm sorry for the delay” Giselle said apologetically. After the call dropped. she went back to the lavishly decorated living room to say goodbye to the old couple and her aunt, Samantha before she left for the hospital. “I'm sorry grandma, grandpa but I need to leave now. an important something just came up. I'll come visiting as soon as I get the chance” She said placing a kiss on the old madam Medina's cheeks. Then she took her grandfather's blessing and left. But as soon as she took a few steps, Samantha came rushing towards her with a file of documents in her hands. “I'm sorry Giselle, I know you're in a big hurry but this document needs your signature; it's very urgent. Please read through it and sign it ”. She said handing her the file filled with several documents. which looks like it was going to take a decade reading through each page. Stuck in a difficult position, Giselle glanced at the wristwatch on her hand and she realized that there was not enough to read the documents. She decided to sign them without properly reading through them. moreover, her aunt Samanth, s the one asking her to sign a document, not some stranger; She trusts her aunt with everything including her life. Seeing the hesitant look on her face, Samantha decided to persuade her by saying, “These are just some documents from the Department stores. your signature is needed to finalize things”. “all right, then. I'll sign them now and you'll explain the details of the documents to me later, is that okay?” With that, she grabbed the pen and stamped her signature on the documents without reading through it first. Immediately she signed on it, she scurried out of the manor. Her driver, Josh was already waiting for her by the car, and as soon as he saw her coming. He opened the car door for her after he climbed into the driver's seat. “Take me to the hospital right now,” She said as soon as she was seated in the car. “Ma'am, is there a problem? Why do you need to go to the hospital all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell? He asked with a tone of concern. “Just take me there now. I don't have much time to explain things to you. just go” The driver had a conflicted look on his face but he didn't dare to ask any more questions since he didn't want to get in trouble with the young master. He slammed on the gas, zooming off their destination. Although Ms. Giselle is not like the arrogant young lady of other influential families, she's still being respected. Meanwhile, Josh was having double thoughts about what he should do. A few days ago, the young master had assigned him with the responsibility of keeping him updated about the young madam's whereabouts. He had asked him to restrict reports everything about the young madam to him, including where she does and who she meets. In the past, Zayn never used to care about her existence nor how she's faring despite being married for so long. The young master had spent the last couple of years away from home, but suddenly he came back home and now he wants all the details about his wife to be reported to his table first thing in the morning and other things about her should be communicated to him through the phone. The young master was never this petty, but all of a sudden! Thinking about this, Josh didn't know what to do anymore. Immediately, they got to the hospital Giselle rushed out of the car. “Congratulations Miss, You're pregnant. You're going to have a baby soon! ” These words reverberated in her mind as she walked out of the office dejectedly. How is that even possible? how could she be possibly pregnant when she takes care of her body so well? She has always been careful of getting pregnant, that's why she made sure to take the pills and take the measures. Then how come the doctor says she's pregnant? . If Zayn were to find out that she was pregnant. Then, he might force her to have an abortion that's if she was truly pregnant. And she won't be able to forgive herself if anything happens to her unborn baby. Zayn had always been warned to be careful not to get pregnant with his child since he only wanted the woman he loved, Danica to bear his children. at least that's what he used to tell her and now she's used to hearing those words from him. Giselle tightened her grip on the reports on her hands as she continued to nurse the idea that the doctor's examination might be wrong. She hopes it would turn out negative. The doctor's examinations must be wrong in this case! She thought With that thought in mind. She decided to go to another hospital to have the doctor's report verified again by another doctor. Due to the unshed tears blurring her eyes, Giselle bumped into someone on her way out of the hospital. “I'm sorry, I'm sorry!” She continuously apologize as she ran out of the hospital without sparing a glance at the person she bumped into. Meanwhile, Danica was shocked to see her at the hospital in such a short time after she left the manor. which means that she had lied about her urgency. she had told everyone that she needed to go back because she had an important to handle but she ended up coming to the hospital instead. something is fishy about her creepy moments! “I need to find what she came here for in the first place,” Danica said as her eyes darted around. Danica had come to the hospital to have her hands stitched after she was sliced open a shard of glass earlier back at the manor. Looking at the nameplate in from of the office that Giselle came out from, Danica took a few steps and went into the place. “I'm sorry Miss, but I can't share my client's details with you. it's against our hospital's ethics”. The gynecologist said with a gentle voice that's laced with disdainfullness. “If you want to know anything you can ask the client directly. Please excuse me first” After saying that, she was about to ask Danica to leave. When Danica suddenly flared up with anger scaring the woman. “How dare you talk to me in that rude manner? Do you know who am I? It seems like you're ready to kiss your job goodbye. If you don't tell me everything I need to know about this person then I will have fired from this place, and you won't be able to get a job anywhere else in this city. I'll make of that. That would be a lesson to you not to mess with me in the future ”. Danica said as her gaze turned dark with anger. “S-She came for a checkup ” Coming out from the third hospital she had visited in the last one hour, Giselle wore a sad look on her face. Her eyes were tired and blurry, her legs twitched at every step she took while nails remained buried in her palms. How could she gather the courage to tell Zayn about this child? he was going to be so mad at her for not taking good care of her body and at the very least, he would suggest she had an abortion since he believes she wasn't fit to bear his child. With sorrow written all over her, she managed to drag her groggy body out of the hospital before she raised an alarm, and end up as the City's hot topic of gossip. People never run out of things to gossip about, and if she became a target of their gossips then her family and business will suffer that's why she tried to stay out of the media's clangor at all times. Zayn had never introduced her to the world as his wife neither had he given her mission to see herself as one. Today was supposed to be their third wedding anniversary, yet she's wandering in the streets all alone with no one to accompany her. Using a veil to cover their head, she crossed to the other side of the road to board a cab. since she had sent Josh back to the blue diamond manor to avoid his constant suspicious questions. She wasn't ready to let the cat out of the bag yet. “What? How is that even possible? Giselle can't be pregnant. You must be mistaken ”. Danica screamed out after the doctor told her about the result of Giselle's checkup. “That's what the results says” “That's fine. I want this to be left between us; no one else should know about this. did you understand?” She threw a few bundles of cash at her. “You know what will happen if you told anyone else ”. With that, she walked away from the hospital.

Chapter 4

After verifying the doctor's reports at different hospitals. Giselle returned home to the Blue Ridge manor wearing a gloomy expression on her face. she was saddened by the news of her pregnancy. This might be the best news she'd received many years but the reality behind this good news is what is killing her. How is she going to face Zayn now that she has gotten herself pregnant with his child? He'll ask her to get rid of the many if he finds out, just like he can't wait to remove her from his life. She braces herself and pressed on the doorbell. within a few seconds, Ms.sue slide the door open with a smile. “You're back, Ma'am Giselle?” She as soon as the door was opened revealing her lean figure. The gloomy expression on her face instantly changed into a pleasant one as she said, "Yes. I finish all of my work early. so, I thought of returning home to prepare a meal for the young master”. She replied feigning a smile. she didn't want Ms. sue to ask her questions about her disrupted mood. otherwise, she might end up worrying about her and she would have no other choice but to tell her the whole truth. Telling her the truth about her pregnancy would limit her chances of leaving. Ms. sue took a few steps aside to allow her into the house. when Giselle was about to return to the upstairs, Ms. Sue scurried behind her and said.“ Young madam, Giselle, the young master had sent these over for you”. she said pointing in the direction of the table in the living room.“A delivery boy dropped by earlier to deliver these with a message that the young master instructed that it should be handed over to you specifically. Since you were not back yet, I took them for you with so much difficulty ” She went over and return with the bags. she gave them to her. With confusion written all over her, Giselle couldn't understand why on earth Zayn would send her such expensive gifts.“Ms. Sue, are you it wasn't the wrong address? why would the Young master send such expensive gifts for me?” She asked, checking the package all over for a clue. her hands were shaky and doubts clung to her chest like a stubborn leech. “I'm sure Ma'am, the delivery boy had specifically mentioned your name. I'm sure it's for you. you should check it, there should be a letter” With slow moments, she began checking the package all over. Then, her gaze fell on a bright red letter posted on the corner of the package. She picked it up and was about to read it. Then, she recalled something. “I'll go upstairs first, Ms. Sue. I'll be back”. With that, she left the living room bearing the gifts in her bosom. And her hands firmly holding the bag she had taken out with her. She dropped the bags on the bed, the moment she stepped into her room. She had forgotten all about the gifts that were sent for her, so when she had set the bags on the bag. she was about to go back downstairs when her eyes fell on the bright red card, she walked over and took it. With shaky hands, she slid the paper open. her mind was in her throat as she feared that she was going to see another name on the card instead of hers. Then, she braces herself for whatever is written in the letter. When she glanced through it, it reads, “Get dressed and come to the venue in this card. don't keep me waiting!” Yeah. the gifts are hers! This is how he usually talks to her and she can never forget how rude he spoke to her every time he come around to the manor. Still confused about the whole thing. Giselle decided to do as he had said in his letter. She glanced at her wristwatch and saw that the time was fast spent. it was already 6:00 pm, and she was to be at the venue by 7:30 pm. She still had about an hour to get ready. She rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower. While taking her clothes off, her eyes darted around the entire room as she tries to memorize every cranny of the room. This place has been her secret haven for the past three years. It's her favorite place of warmth and pillow for her tears, but very soon, she's going to give up everything and go away. Leaving is only the way to save her baby as well as release herself from the clutch of being married to a man, who didn't love and might never love her in the future. After spending three lonely years in this room, she has become a master of her art. The decorative figure of her world and the designer of her dreams. Each corner of the room screams her presence. her favorite things are all allocated in here. She's a huge lover of art, so there are many artworks from local designers across the country. She always buys her favorite artworks from the local designers because she believes that this group of people put their hearts into creating this piece of work. Not for the sake of money but for the sake of the emotions embedded in their hearts while doing it. At the entrance to the room, hung a huge wedding frame with both of them as the muse. In this picture was wearing a very bright smile that almost revealed all of her teeth, while Zayn on the other hand looked gloomy. his expression was dark, sad, and wary. Anyone would come to know the reasons for this with just a glance at the frame. He didn't want to get married to her! Giselle was so happy getting married to the man she had loved all her life that she didn't realize that he was not going to treat her well in the future. In front of the dressing, was her few makeups kits. She doesn't like applying makeup but after she got married she wanted to look good for Zayn, maybe he would consider her worthy of him. On the bedside, were the wedding gifts. she had received from both her grandparents and grandpa Meyer three years ago. she kept them safe for the future when he might decide to get married to Danica instead. She knew both families are not going to accept this, and might never give them their blessings she thought that these gifts would serve as a sign of their blessings in the future. There were so many things to be memorized if she was going to think about everything right now. Then, she's going to be very late and Zayn might get married to her for this. Just like the last time, he took her to a business meeting. She messed everything up and was humiliated in front of everyone. Even Danica was also present at this meeting unable to control her body movement after seeing how her husband was getting too close to Danica without sparing any oita of respect for her. She became tumultuous and ended up making a fool put of herself. Back then, She had unintentionally spilled a cup of hot coffee on a business associate which led to the deal being canceled. When they arrived back home, Zayn was so mad at her that he said so many hurtful things to her. “You're inexplicably foolish enough to be called the leader of the fools. You don't have anything to contribute to my life, if you don't want to see me mad, please don't make it difficult for me to show my face to the world”. He had said that to her in anger. after that night, he didn't return him until the night before yesterday. He was ashamed to take her anywhere with him since he thought she wasn't good enough to stand beside him And most times, he questioned she was given half of the family inheritance instead of Danica, who he believes is better in all ramifications than her. Danica is beautiful with brains. She's gorgeous and smart; not only is she smart but cunning to the core. This is one of the qualities, Zayn had failed to identify in her. Snapping back to reality, Giselle heaved a big sigh of relief as she thought.   All of these are going to be over soon! I just need to finish with the anniversary then I will go away from their lives forever with my baby, I ain't going to let him know about the baby. The sound of her phone ringing made her abandon her thoughts and go to pick the call. “Ma'am, the client has sent over the contract for the new fashion store. I've had it sent over to your house. You should check on it first”. “I will do that as soon as I was done with my work here. don't worry I'll get back to you after reviewing the contract”. it was a call from her assistant at the Medina Corporation, Alicia. After the call dropped, Giselle rushed to the bathroom and came back within a few minutes. Then, she proceeds to get dressed in the black evening gown with a touch of shiny diamond studded in the dress. This dress is from the new collection of Grandex collections, there are only ten of this dress in the world and it was recently launched just yesterday. how would zayn have gotten his hands on this dress in such a short time?  or the question should be why would he get them for me? According to the report released by the head of fashion commerce during the annual meeting a few days ago, the dress was worth at least 30 million. Not that he can't afford to lavish 30 million on what he sets his eyes but how could he do that for her? The more she thought about it, the more complicated the entire facade becomes. She looked into the bag and found high shoes from the same company and the shoes looked like it was specially made for a goddess. The shoe was in sliver color with diamond-studded in each corner of the lines that appear to the eyes. about 30 pieces of diamond were instilled in the shoe during the making process. It is the highest-selling fashion item in the entire country, and not everyone is allowed to own a pair of these fancy shoes. How come she's so lucky? is he trying to buy me off before he sent me away? is that his plan then? Giselle is a huge fan of fashion since she loves to create designs but she didn't want to get so obsessed with this item that's why she prefers to live a simple life. After bringing out the items from the bag, she got dressed and apply a little bit of makeup to make a difference; she didn't want Zayn to feel any worse for bringing them out today. Meanwhile, in an exclusive Presidential villa of the best hotels in the city. Danica was seated with a glass of wine in her hand while someone was giving her a head massage. She was about to take a sip from her glass when a call came into her phone. A look of recognition from crept onto her face and she smiled. “Privacy!” when she said that. the lady left the room almost instantly. “Miss Medina, the packages have been delivered to the address just as you instructed ”. A deep voice of a man could be heard from the other end of the line. ”Good. You'll get the rest of your money just now. And yes, make sure to seal your lips In the future, I don't want you anywhere in Orange city or even Bay city at all”. With that, the call dropped. So now, it will be up to me to decide if you'll be alive to show off the dress Zayn got you or you're taking it along with you to your end! she thought to her with her lips curving into a sneaky smile. “Get my dress ready ” She instructed her assistant over the phone. Then, she moved close to the outside of the city looking out through the balcony of the room she's staying at. This place was where she used to spend some time with Zayn back then, during this time she tried everything she could to make Zayn make love to her, she even went as far as begging him but his mind was always in a daze when they make a move toward that. He was always thinking about the wrong he was doing to her. Even though he treated her cruelly when she's in front of him, he respects her when she's not there to see. This attitude of his has angered Danica so much that she wanted to hurt Giselle so badly.       I'm finally going to have everything all to myself now, everything you had and everyone that had your back. I'm going to do such a thing that it'll be very difficult to overlook your needs. “So it's decided. The new branch of Meyer hotels will handle the projects along with the Capitol Builders. I want to see how capable they can be at this time. Make sure not to mess things up”. “We won't sir!” in the large conference hall of the Meyer Group of companies ,Zayn was in the middle of a meeting when he suddenly raised his wrist to look at the time. “So that would be all for today”. He said dismissively. Just as the meeting came to an end, his personal assistant stood up and left after him. “President Meyer, You still have a meeting with the head of the departments at 7:00pm. Another meeting with the Cellular Corporation by 10:00, That would after your dinner date with Mrs Meyer”. Gael read the schedules to him while running hard to catch up with him. Then , he suddenly came to a stop when Giselle's name was mentioned. “Cancel my other meetings for today. I don't want to see anyone else today”. “Yes, President Meyer” With that settled. he strode away without waiting for any explanation. Gael, on the other hand was stunned by this. Until yesterday, Zayn had never cared about the existence of this woman, how come he's suddenly so ready to give up billions of dollars for her take? I must be imagining things or did president Meyer really cancel all of his meetings? This is impossible but he actually did!

Chapter 5

Coming out of the bedroom after getting dressed in the expensive collection sent by Zayn, Giselle looked nervous as her legs wobbled against the floor of the staircase. As soon as she step into the living room, she was welcomed by the admirable gaze of Ms. Sue. The gaze that fell on her was filled with love and respect. She was marveled by how beautiful Giselle was after getting dressed. “You're so pretty Ma'am Giselle. You look like a reflection of the goddess on earth. I'm sure the young master is going to fall in love with you as soon as he sees you in this dress”. Ms. Sue said with one of her hands crossing over her lip. while she tugs on Giselle with the other of her hands. Giselle blushed at her words but deep down, she knew Zayn might feel the same as Ms. sue and that hurt her heart deeply. I wish Zayn would feel the way you feel even if just once.  Just as they were talking, they heard a car honking outside bringing them back to reality. “I'll go take a look outside, maybe the driver has arrived to take you. Just have a seat, let me see who it is first”. With that, she left the living room in high air while still wearing a smile due to the reflection of happiness in her heart. When she got to the entrance to the manor. She was baffled by what she saw. In front of the house was a stretched Lamborghini which seemingly looked like it was waiting for the arrival of a president. Not only that, standing beside the car was a chauffeur dressed in an all-black suit. He looked very well dressed, young, and very active. The Lamborghini was the same color as the luxurious dresses that Giselle was wearing right now. It has the same color with a few ribbons and flowers decorating it making it look extremely stunning. While on the other hand, he was holding a bouquet. The bouquet was filled with white roses and lilies; these are Giselle's favorite flowers. She spent hours cultivating and watering these flowers when she's not at work or busy with anything. On the other side of the entrance to the mansion was a flower garden with different beautiful flowers springing out from inside. Which makes the appearance of the entire manor delightful. She started growing these flowers as soon as she got married into the family and she came to live with Zayn three years ago. Her presence in the house has changed a lot of things and Ms. Sue especially is grateful for them. But how did Zayn know of these things that she liked? he's the man that never careers about her existence .so,? He never knew how she has been faring in the last three years, not until the night before yesterday. Upon seeing all of these, Ms. Sue found it difficult to believe that all of these is happening right in front of her. wait! am I imagining things or are these happening? first, a box of expensive clothes was sent here not long ago and now even a Lamborghini is stretched out here!    Or could it be that he didn't get the address right? I should ask him. Walking close to the entrance. Ms. Sue asked with a smile on her face.“Are you looking for someone? did you come to pick up Mrs. Meyer?” “The young master asked that I bring Mrs.................. Meyer to the venue. Please call her it's almost time” The chauffeur replies politely. After hearing what he said. Ms. Sue couldn't hold back her thoughts.   what? he sent a chauffeur to pick up miss Giselle? when did all of these happen or am I still in my dream World? The young master never used to care about the young madam until now and suddenly he's being so kind towards her! I'm glad he came to his senses before it was too late. now, that wretched girl will not have a chance to ruin things for them again once they come together. I can't wait to see the reaction on her face when she heard Zayn sent a brand new car to pick up for the dinner date. “Just wait here mister. I'll go get the young madam just now”. With that, she scurried into the house without looking back. Meanwhile, Zayn was reclining in his chair in the office with a box of jewelry in his hands. he was looking at the diamond-studded ring that he held while staring at the circle part of the ring. The ring belonged to pearl jewelry; it is the most expensive jewelry set in the country. it was very hard to be obtained, also it not available for purchase since its being strictly made for just a few couples of powerful in the country. Zayn wanted to give this ring to Giselle during their anniversary dinner tonight since he was the one that took away the diamond ring that they had exchanged during their wedding back then. The rings were gifts from Grandpa Meyer but he didn't want to see her with the ancestral jewelry of the Meyer family so he took it away and gave it away to Danica. Just a few nights ago he took the rings back from Danica, but he thought they were now substandard. As he was lost in thought staring at the piece of gem. a soft and loud was heard from the door outside then, the door was slid open and his secretary, Sofia, came into the room with a bunch of files in her hands. “Excuse me, President Meyer”. she said before dropping them on the table In front of him. “These are the contract files from the Blue Ridge projects, please read through them and sign on them as soon as you can, President Meyer”. “oh, and the project manager from the first branch wants to have a meeting with you on Monday. I'll leave now ”. She dropped the file and left. Just as she was about twisting the knob of the door, Zayn called out to her. “Gael isn't here yet. Are all the arrangements for the venue done yet?” “All the arrangements have been taken care off. I took care of it myself, and Gael went out to an important meeting which you did ask him to go to in your place. Please enjoy your night sir”. “It's fine Miss Miller, you can go I'll handle things on my own ”. “okay. Thank you, President Meyer, enjoy your time”. With that, she left the building. it already past the close hour and they was only a few people at the office now. The people left at the office at this time were those working overtime and others are the guards, who are on night shifts. Staring at her reflection in front of the dressing mirror. Danica wore a crushed expression as she continued to look at the face in the mirror. Different thoughts ran through her mind as she sat there. how could zayn or even anyone at that look over her and choose a plain can't like Giselle instead? zayn used to drool over her so much, he doted on like she was his life. For the last three years, he promised to stand for her and protect them and he has been doing so until now, but suddenly he took back the ring that he gave her as a token of his love, and now he even organized an anniversary dinner for Giselle. Who'll accept that,? Not only is she the most beautiful girl in the city center. she's also has a successful career and in the eyes of the people, she can do no wrong at all. The support of the entire city has been her strength all these years and her relationship with Zayn was her stepping stone, what will happen if she loses all of them at once? “Ma'am, I'm sure sir Zayn is going to fall madly in love with you once he sees you in this dress and make-up. You look so stunning, oh my goodness I can't how gorgeous you look!” Her assistant Rebecca, who had been standing behind her all this while exclaimed after seeing how beautiful her makeup is. But, Danica seemingly didn't hear what she said. Suddenly, there was a clatter of objects to the floor. Things were sent renting in the air before the assistant could understand what was happening. “No! this can't be, I can't all lose them because of you bitch!” She exclaimed, throwing all of the makeup items on the table to the floor. Her movement was so quick and suddenly that the make-up artist didn't get a chance to control her hands, due to her involuntarily actions, All of a sudden, Danica turned around to look at the assistant behind her with a look of disbelief with anger in her eyes.  Her sudden movement startled the makeup artist; as her hands trembled. The lip brush left a blood-red lipstick mark on the corner of Danica's mouth. The make-up artist hurriedly apologizes saying .“ I'm sorry, I didn't mean it......” Danica snatch the lip brush out of the makeup artist's hand and tossed it to the floor roughly. She snapped,” Where did you find this person? She doesn't even know how to apply makeup! Do you want to be fired?”. “Get out of my sight. get out!!!” At the sight of this scene, John – her talent manager– immediately apologize to Danica while shooting a glare at the make-up artist, who then gritted her teeth and left the dressing room with a look of grievance. “You need to calm down Miss Danica, worrying will not solve anything. you should just be ready and get there before she does. That's the only way now”. Her assistant said. after he saw that there was a sense in whatever she had said she curved her lips into a smile. I shouldn't let this bother me at all. it's her moment before I take back my rights! “I'll call for the makeup artist now”. Giselle held tightly onto the hem of her dress as she was being escorted by Ms. Sue to the car parked in front of the mansion. She was all smiles as she recalled what Ms. Sue had told her earlier, if they all tried then she would still be happy leaving unless Zayn stopped her in person. Just then, her hand landed on her abdomen and she closed her eyes relishing the joy of the moment as she felt a little life growing inside of her. Even if there was no other reason to live life anymore, but she would still live for the sake of the child she's carrying. Zayn might never accept her and Danica might pose as a villain to the birth of a child– she didn't want anything to happen to the child – or even let Zayn get wind of it. “Hey Giselle, are you going to get in the car or will you stay stuck in your daze, huh?” Ms. Sue snapped her fingers at her face and she jerked out of her daze with a smile. “This way ma'am” The chauffeur led the way to the opened door.“Please be careful, sir doesn't want anything to happen with you” He further commented with a serious expression. Giselle was startled for a moment. “huh?” “Get in the car, Giselle. You're running out of time”. with that, she forced herself into the car .but she couldn't ward the thoughts off from her mind. “I'll be leaving first Ms.Sue, please take care of the house while I'm away from the night ” “I will. you shouldn't worry about anything around here” with that being said. she bid goodbye to Giselle and went back into the manor to continue her work. Meanwhile, on the way to the venue. Giselle was feeling very restless as she couldn't seem to understand everything seems strange to her.   why does it feel like there is an abyss of hell on my path and I can't seem to figure out which way! it's might be the baby playing a trick on my mind. She thought as she thought of forgetting everything else and focusing on the joy of the moment; she's finally going to have a private dinner with Zayn. At the resorts, Zayn just arrived at the hotel. he was feeling sweaty after his long-distance drive due to the huge traffic on the way. when he got to the garden, where he had made a reservation. He met a waiter setting the table and serving the drinks. he went ahead and grabbed a glass of water and filled it down. He decided to have the garden space since he learned that Giselle loved nature so much and loves having her free time spent watching the beautiful state of nature. Although he has never really paid attention to all of her activities in the last three years, he got someone to keep him updated about her. Zayn was nervous since he has decided to let go of his relationship with Danica and start afresh with Giselle instead; he had concluded that the only way that he could make a change is by letting Danica go now. After gulping down the glass of water, he took another one with extra ice and did the same thing. When he noticed that the waiter had finished serving the drinks and setting the table, but he was still standing a few steps away from the table, he divided to send them away with the wave of the hand. Immediately, he waved his hands, they picked up the signal and dispersed further away from the table and went back to do other things while wanting from any other that might come to his table. Zayn loosened the tight hold of his tie a bit and then stay back on his chair. Just when he was finally feeling a little bit at ease, he suddenly felt that he saw the silhouettes of a familiar figure darting over him, but his mind was so clouded that he didn't want to pay much attention to it; he wanted to wave it aside and stop it from disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of his mind, but when the familiar voice of the woman rang into his ears he was forced to look up at the figure standing before him in an exquisite nightdress. “What are you doing here, Danica? didn't I say that it was over for us?” “I know you did but I'm just here to tell you an important matter. Please listen to me first, then you can decide what to do”
