“President Meyer, I just finished speaking with Ms. Sue. she said that the young mistress left the house about an hour ago, She isn't back home nor is she here at the hotel”. Gael reported after going out for a couple of minutes. zayn was startled upon hearing what his assistant, Gael, had said. How could she not be at the hotel after leaving the house one hour ago? did something happen on her way here, is that why she's not here yet? Zayn was lost in thought thinking of what could have possibly happened to Giselle. Giselle is not the type of woman that goes late for an appointment, especially when it is an important occasion like theirs. wedding anniversary dinner; she wouldn't want to give Zayn a reason to be mad at her as the last time. “Also, I just got the news that the Chauffer that was supposed to pick her up earlier came back to this hotel and left a few minutes later”. “Could it be that Mrs. Meyer had come to the hotel and left immediately after?” Gael asked, waddling after Zayn as he made to step out of the private garden. When the words that Gael had said got into his ears, he suddenly came to a stop with disbelief tottering in his eyes. With a swift movement, he turned around to face Gael, who had stopped talking after seeing the darkened expression on his face. He didn't dare to say anything else as he waited for the young master to digest. “What did you just say? Giselle was at the hotel but she left soon after that? How is even possible? ” “President Meyer, I'm not saying that she was at the hotel, I just said that the chauffeur came to the hotel earlier and left soon after ” “I don't have any time for the basic assumption. I just want you to find out where Giselle is at this moment. get to work and better come back with the details”. Zayn said with a cold tone without raising his voice. But Gael got the hint and immediately left without saying a word.      That woman definitely can't be so unruly to go against the time frame I gave her. He glared at his wristwatch as he made it to leave the private garden. After taking a few steps forward to go, he felt his leather shoes relinquishing on a hard object; the object was tugging hardly to the sole of his shoe and he had no choice but to bent over and have a look. Immediately, he yanked off the object from the sole of his shoe. A look of recognition crept onto his face and he was bewildered. An earring!! It was the same piece of jewelry that he has brought from the Pearl jewelry. When buying the jewelry earlier, he had specifically asked that the jewelry he wanted should be of a limited edition; the ornaments were specially customized for him and only he has this specific collection of the jewelry– it can't be found anywhere else. He had asked his secretary, Sofia, to have the earrings and necks sent over to the house while he held on to the rings. But how come the earrings are lying on the floor right in of the entrance to the private garden. The earrings wouldn't come there on their own, right? someone must have dropped it there. could it be true that Giselle had come to the garden earlier? if she'd come then, why did she leave without coming over to the table? oh no! I hope she didn't hear Danica and Me talking earlier. if she had come about ten minutes earlier then it's possible that she heard everything we talked about. “Sir, someone is waiting for you in the lobby. Please come with me”. it was the hotel's waitress. Zayn snapped back to see the young woman standing before him with her head lowered and her lips twitching slightly. This is not the time to have a meeting with anyone. he needed to find Giselle first. “Who is it?” “He didn't say his name sir” He was about to refuse but on second thought, he went outside with her. “Let's go”. “Miss, I think the young master has realized that Giselle was at the hotel earlier. He just found a piece of her jewelry in the garden just now. What should I do?”. “You're so useless. I told you not to leave any clues behind, right? you were supposed to clean after her but you couldn't do that as well. hopeless. Don't worry about doing anything, just make sure that he doesn't see you anywhere close to him”. “I understand, ma'am”. “I'll have someone handle it. just leave the hotel at this point”. With that, the phone was disconnected. Then, she wore a frown as she waited for the phone to connect once more. “Have you got the girl? what? no? you better make sure you don't lose sight of her. She shouldn't escape at all cost, I don't care how you handle it”. After the call ended, Danica held her head and screamed in anger while sitting in the car. why is it so difficult to get rid of a bratty pest like Giselle? she's just a good-for-nothing piece of trash but she's giving me so little peace of mind. no matter what you do, I won't spare you nor give you a chance to come close anymore. “ Take me to the blue ridge mansion right now”. She ordered and the driver slammed on the gas almost immediately. why are all these people after me? who did I offend? I haven't done anything so why would anyone want to hurt me like this? am I going to die like this? what would happen to my baby? I can't let anything happen to my child. she hasn't even been born to talk more of experiencing the joy of coming into this world, how then could I allow her to die along with me? No!! Different thoughts kept running through her mind as she kept running along to the wilderness of the night. The more she ran, the more difficult it becomes to hide away from the eyes of her pursuers. It was getting hard for her to run on her heels since her legs has begun to hurt very much, but she couldn't dare to spare a few minutes to pull them off– it was as if they were going to get to her any minute now if she were to stop for a while. She kept running as fast as her legs could carry while one of her hands was pressed against her stomach as she feared for the child in her womb. The men chasing after her were getting angrier as she had refused to slow down at the pace she was going– They thought she was going to get weary of running soon but to their utmost surprise, she was going to give up anytime soon. What is more, is the fact that the boss kept calling to urge them on. If they were to fail in capturing the girl then, they might as well die in her place the boss wasn't going to spare any of them for being so negligible. “Go after her! don't let her out of your sight! “We can't afford to let her slip out of our hands this time, she needs to die, we need to make sure she does! the voice rang out through her mind as she runs for her dear life in the middle of the night. she ran as fast as she could but they soon– They kept running faster. Danica has always done whatever she threatens to do, so the thugs were very scared of making her mad. She wouldn't think twice about it. Ms. Sue constantly paced around the living room while dialing Giselle's phone number. The phone rang continuously but she wouldn't pick up the phone. After trying the phone many times and it wasn't picked up, she began to panic as she was scared that something bad had happened to her on her way to the hotel – after the call, she received from the young Master's assistant, Gael, her fears had heightened up greatly. Just as she was still dialing the number, she heard a loud knock on the door, and she was startled immediately.      why would anyone knock at the door instead of using the doorbell?  she thought as she went to open the door. As soon as she slide the door open, she felt a black cloth covering her eyes, and she blackout immediately while putting up a fight with the people. Unfortunately, she couldn't see who the people were and most importantly, what they want from her. Meanwhile, Giselle had run out of energy to continue running away from the men chasing after her. After getting to the end of the road, she swerved around to a hidden corner to find a place to hide her head. Just as she stepped to the other side, she was stunned by the sight before her. There was a cliff!! Now, she's stuck between the devil and the red sea; there was no way out for her here as she froze in her spot while moving backward fearfully. “Look who we have right here. it's the princess!!!”

“Look who we have right here! it's the princess who has finally come to a dead” One of the men said laughing sarcastically while moving toward her at a slow pace while Giselle continuously moved backward. “How do you think, you could evade us with your tiny figure? how dare you make us chase after you for so long?” Another man from the group said as he yanked forward in his long legs which sent shudders of shivers down Giselle's mind. Her legs were shuddering as she moved back to avoid being dashed over by the men after her. With shaky lips, she questioned and said.“Who are you people? what do you want from. e? I haven't done anything to any of you, then why are you going after me? I don't even know who are you. Please don't hurt me, please”. After hearing the question she had posed at them. They all burst out laughing hard. “You haven't done anything to us initially but after now, you did something very bad and you're going to pay for every bit of it. You wretched homewrecker”. “Do you think. This is the time to crack jokes with her? Do your job, you fools”. While they were conversing with Giselle. they heard a loud hoarse voice from behind; the voice seemed like the person was in a bad mood and didn't have time for silliness. “Please sir, don't hurt me”. “I'm, not Jesus Christ that saves people. I am incarnate of the devil, and my job is to kill who needs to be killed”. After saying these words. he pointed his gun directly at her without waiting for more arguments from the young fragile woman. As he was about to pull the trigger. He heard the wailing voice of the woman pleading. “Please, don't kill me. I'm pregnant!!!” Nevertheless, he had already pulled the trigger and the bullet was on its way to the woman's heart– it was not their thing to kill a pregnant woman but in this case, they were helpless. “You all know what the rules are. We don't have anything against innocent unborn kiddos, didn't you all understand it?” “We did boss, but we didn't know she was pregnant” They tried to defend themselves while shuddering in fear. “ But on second thought, I did you a favor, you know. now you'll have all the time in the world to take care of your unborn child in the other world. What a perfect solution I have for you. You were going to die anyway”. He said looking pitifully at the young frail-looking woman who laid in the pool of her blood grasping for life. She looked weak and struggled to catch her breath after the bullet had hit her– Blood kept oozing out of her wound profusely. Her forehead was covered with sweat while her face was covered with tears– her hands were wrapped around her belly while feeling the child inside of her. The men surrounding had a look of satisfaction on their faces upon seeing her struggling for breath– it was not easy getting rid of a woman like her; she was one lucky girl. after trying to get to her so many times, they finally got her and now she's lying in her blood. she must have run out of luck after being lucky for so long. “Boss, don't you think we should inform them about the outcome? they must be so eager to find out what happened to her after she had escaped severally”. One of the boys winked at him while he nodded his head while looking in the pale woman's direction. Her eyes were closed and it seemed like she had passed due to the loss of too much. “That sounds like a good idea. The young master must be so anxious to know if his wife is dead so that he could marry his other woman instead. it's not a bad idea to give him a call though”. After saying that, be began to dial the number. “I'm even feeling pity for this woman right here. how could she fall in love with a man that could order her to be put to death? She's so unfortunate. Now, she had to lose her life. Poor thing”. “She unlucky at this point ” They kept throwing harsh words at her while she pretended to have blacked out but the truth is she could hear everything they said. “Boss, you should put it on loudspeakers, it will save you the stress later” Immediately the call got connected. She heard a familiar voice from the other end of the phone and her heart tweaked at the certainty of the voice. “Hello, Miss Samantha, I just called to inform you that we got the target. The princess is dead. She's lying right here in the pool of her blood with her eyes closed in death. what a poor soul!! Ma'am Danica must be happy right now as well as the young master, right?” “You finally got the wrenched of a girl? You finally did your job right. Now, make sure you finish her off without leaving any trace behind nor to me or my daughter, got that? “Yes ma'am, I understand everything. can you put the young master on phone? The poor woman doesn't believe that the love of her life would do such a thing to her, so I want to hear his voice while she's on her way to the other world, at least she deserves that much for spending three years, right?” The man asked sarcastically while his eyes were filled with a dirty smirk that makes him look like a heartless devil incarnate like he had called himself. “Of course, of course. at least, I could do this much for my foolish and naive daughter, who couldn't decipher between those who loved her and who wants her properties at all cost. Both of them are here with me too” “She's a very foolish girl indeed. Please pass the phone”. “Hello? ” When that voice came on, Giselle felt her whole body breaking into many pieces at the thought that the man she had loved all her life could do such a thing. No, this is not possible! how could this even be true? “Hello? Aren't you going to do something? When she heard the voice once again. she was forced to believe that he was the one. She couldn't mistake his voice for anything else– She knew him like the back of her hand, so how could she not recognize his voice in the middle of the crowd? Tears began to drip down her cheeks when her heart could no longer hold onto the pain she was feeling from within. “I told you, she was going to cry to her death, now look that's exactly what's happening now”.   hahaha meanwhile, Ms. Sir woke up with a splitting headache after she passed out about an hour ago. She held her head with both of her hands as she struggled to get rid of the pains she was feeling, but it was deeply rooted in her skull. With so much difficulty, she managed to open her eyes, and then made to stand up but something held her back as she felt a hand tugging at her legs. She looked down to see a rope trying around her legs. what? who tied me up?  ma'am Giselle? With the thought of the young mistress gushing into her mind like the winter wind, she hurried to lose free the rope tied at her legs– The ropes were not tied tightly so it was easy for her to lose it as quickly as she had intended. When she was free from the shackles of the ropes. She ran back into the living room since she was initially tied up in the storeroom, just a couple of steps away from the living area. Everything looked the same as she had left it – Before she was attacked by those unknown people. With panic written all over her, Ms. Sue couldn't place her mind on why the people had barged into the house. they didn't steal any valuable nor break anything, what then was their reason for coming into the mansion and knocking her out?. They couldn't have possibly come around the house to have a look, right? Since that's not the case, then what exactly were they here for?.   I should check the madam's room, maybe they came for her jewelry. Moreover, madam has just received a new pack of jewelry from the world-famous designers. Maybe, that's what they're looking for. I should check. Giselle was beginning to lose the strength to keep her eyes open after listening to their conversation but she still strived to stay sane to protect herself and her unborn child. “Boss, look like the woman is finally dead now. We should get rid of her body and leave this place as soon as possible even the boss had ordered that no clues should be left behind. So what do you suggest we do now?”. “Why worry so much when the answer is right in front of you? Would you carry her away from this place while leaving behind a bunch of evidence or throw her down the cliff and save your dirty ass?”. “Throw her down of course!”. “Now, do it, and let's go”. Giselle, who was too weak to fight back tried to plead with them but nothing was coming out of her mouth. There was only a muffled sound. But the truth is she was pleading for her child. In the next splitting seconds, she was pushed down the cliff while her body rolled down in the air as they continued to watch it until it disappeared away from sight. “Save my child!!!”

Five years later...... In the city's famous fashion gallery located in the center of Bay City, a fashion exhibition was being held. Everything was moving into top gear backstage. As the assistant to the leading figure of the fashion show, Sandra was checking details on the clothes for the models. The famous fashion company was making its grand entry into the Bay City fashion market and this was their launch coming to the city. The company came into the limelight about three years ago, and the demand for their fashion products has been so high that it would send several shivers down the spines of competitors, and what more, it's finally has a branch in Bay City. After a few minutes of checking n the designers, the assistant seemed to have a look of confusion on her face, then she put a call across to someone. “Miss Burnett, I sent you a couple of designs now. Do you think this will fit the models assigned?” She said while holding the blueprint in her hands worriedly. There was no longer anytime to waste since it was almost time for the show. “Let me have a look first” Bethany Burnett was the name that Giselle had used to disguise her in the fashion industry. She spent the last five years metamorphosis into a famous fashion designer, winning numerous awards without the world knowing who she was. After a period of busywork, she stood behind the curtains in the spacious office reserved for her, watching the audience. Suddenly..... She saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was Danica.... why did she attend the show now? Danica, who was sitting in the auditorium, could barely sit still. she frequently inquired from her assistant, Janet, “Have you confirmed whether or she is coming to the show?” “ Yes ma'am, it is confirmed that Miss Burnett has returned home from abroad, and will be present in her first debut in the city”. Although the assistant gave a firm answer, she was not sure that Bethany would show up, because this lowly fashion designer had never appeared in public not even a single picture of her from her abroad debuts. It was too difficult to detect her traces, and getting information about her was too difficult as well. No one knows how she looks. whether she was ugly or beautiful, nobody could tell since they've not come across her once before. At the end of the show, when the audience started to leave, Bethany did not make an appearance. At this result, Danica became furious. Danica had become famous in the fashion industry after she took over the company, but her success was controversial. she was critical for gaining the public's support with the help of Zayn Meyer– When her relationship with Zayn came to the limelight she was greatly criticized for ruining her sister's home which led to her losing a lot of supporters, but hen she came up with a damage control which forced the public to sympathize with her. She had lied that Giselle forced her into cleaning after her since she had eloped with her lover, but unfortunately, she met with a terrible end. Even though with the supports from Zayn and his mother, her works have been greatly challenged by others, and when the fashion company named, Deluxe fashion edition came into the limelight a few years ago it had greatly ruined her chances of staying at the top. Nonetheless, Bethany's niche works at the fashion week appealed to Danica three years ago, since then Danica had stepped into the part of plagiarism, and the support from the people increase. But she knew this won't last long, and if the people find out, it will spend doom for her, so she wanted to find this woman whose design skills can match up the owner of the deluxe fashion edition. Hearing the news that Bethany was back, she could not wait to employ her. After all, copying was not a long-term goal. But Bethany was so conceited that, Danica failed to meet her. Danica exited the bathroom and bumped into a dressed woman. The body looked familiar to her, but the face was different. strange. why do I feel like I've met her before? It was not strange for Giselle to meet Danica, whom she had recognized among the audience earlier on. “Hey, don't you watch where you're going! You clumsy wimp, don't you even know how to walk properly in a public place like this? who even allowed a beggar like you into a place like this,? Look how you've ruined my expensive dress with your filthy hands”. Danica kept raining expletives on the other woman who had a calm expression on her. After Danica stopped with a rain of words, she opened her mouth and apologized, saying.“I'm is sorry for your dress, Miss. But next, you should check your eye sights to be sure if they are working perfectly before you left the house. stop being a nuisance in a public place and making a fool of yourself when you're not a saint” “How dare you talk back at me? are you courting death? do you even know who I am?”. She yelled clenching her fists tightly after listening to what the woman had said to her. She had never thought that a plain woman like her would stand and talk directly back at the once famous model and top fashion designer in the city. Or she did not know much about her it seemed. “I very well know, who you are, Miss Medina. A famous model and fashion designer, right?”. “You know and you dare stand before me and spew trash after ruining my dress? do you know I can have you arrested for this? “I'm sorry Miss, but I think you're mistaken. You are the one who bumped into me, remember? So you should apologize to me first,”. Hearing this, Danica felt her head spinning in circles as she couldn't understand what's going on anymore. She was once the most respected in the city, and now someone else is ruling over her. Thinking of their great difference in social standing, Danica was infuriated. Then, she wanted to raise her hand to scold the pale woman. when she recalled that she was in a public place, and if the paparazzi from the industry get a glimpse of what she was about to do, then her reputation would deteriorate. moreover, she had been struggling to men her ruined reputation, and staying away from the scandal is one of the best ways to achieve them. With that, her hand was left hanging in the mid-air. If she was caught hurting the woman, they would assume that she was bullying a poor helpless person because she was rich and powerful so no one can come at her– with news like this spreading like wildfire in the city, she would be boycotted and blacklisted. no amount of damage control would be as to resurrect her publicity. I can't allow a filthy woman like herself to ruin my chances of getting close to my goals. if the designer is here and saw me hurting her then she might change her mind about partnering with me if she had nursed the thought initially. This low life won't be the end of me now. I'm going to let her off the hook this time, but if I ever det my eyes on her next time in a secluded place, then she won't forget me so easily. With this thought, she unwillingly dropped the hand that she had raised when she saw someone approaching the restroom. “Uh, your dress looks beautiful and the material is very good as well. it must have cost you a fortune, right?” She said pretentiously while smiling when the passerby was close to them. she wanted to create a good image of herself in front of others. After saying that, she moved to the plain woman to touch the edge of her clothing while wearing a smile that didn't reach her teeth. “You can quit acting now, Miss Medina. Nobody's watching your acting performance right now, you know. I think you should join the entertainment industry, you'd make a great actress” Bethany said sarcastically while hurling her away from her dress. Danica didn't know this woman would be so smart to see through her thoughts right away. She was mad that the woman had dared to touch her hands before slinging them away. how dare she do this? “I'm letting you off this time because you look pitiful enough, otherwise I would have you arrested for harassment” Danica said arrogantly as if she was doing her a favor by not getting get her arrested. She wore a smirk while raising her brows. “Don't make it seems like you're doing me a favor with this. You bumped into me first anyway, and I have proofs to back up my claims. There are a few hidden cameras around, remember?” Danica was at a loss for words as she did not have a comeback for this.
