“Arg!!”
Danica yelled out as she flung her phone across the room. Then, she ran her hands through her head angrily.
Her eyes were filled with unshed tears as she knitted her brows bitterly and clutched her fists tightly.
“How dare they reschedule the meeting for the third time? what do they think of themselves?” She asked through her gritted teeth as her tone was filled with resentment.
Just as she was lamenting, the door to her bedroom slid open revealing a little figure standing with his soft eyes looking at Danica with hope.
“Why the hell are you in my room? who allows you to enter this place without my permission?” She gawked at him with canny hatred.
She was about to drag the boy out of her room with force when she suddenly had a glimmer of an idea.
She softened her tone as she urged the little boy to get dressed.
“Go get your backpack right now. We're going to daddy's house and you'll tell him that you insisted on coming over to his house, do you understand me? ” She yelled with a serious tone.
Jordan nodded his head in affirmation and quickly turned around and left the room without putting up a protest.
When they arrived at the Blue Ridge villa, Zayn was not yet back from the office.
“Welcome, Miss Danica. What brings you here? Do you have some work?” Ms. Sue asked when she opened the door for them.
Danica was furious that the maids has never given her the respect she deserved and they never see her as the mistress of the house, thinking of this matter, she felt agitated and yelled at Ms. Sue.
“Do have I to take permission from you before bringing my son over to visit his father? Who do you think you are to ask me such questions? Are you tired of your job around? if you're tired, I'll ask Zayn to relieve you of the stress” She yelled with a hoarse voice as she kept scrutinizing the older woman with a disgustful look.
Ms. Sue quickly tried to clarify herself.“That's not what I meant, Miss Danica. It's just that, the young master doesn't appreciate anyone coming over without his permission”.
“Do you take me as just anyone? I am his fiancee and you should learn to respect me as one. Do you understand?” She implored angrily.
“I understand, Miss Medina” Ms. Sue nodded her head.
“Take him and prepare him for bed” She handed over the child to her.
“And go straight to bed after getting him to sleep” She instructed.
Ms.Sue simply nodded as she had the thought that the woman was up to no good.
In the last five years, she hasn't come around to the house to see Zayn since he forbade her from coming over. And now, she suddenly appeared from nowhere to spend the night here? Something must be fishy!.
There was nobody else in the living room of the Blue Ridge villa, except Danica. She leaned lazily on the sofa, waved a glass of red wine in her hand, and looked slightly drunk. She wore silk pajamas, showing her beautiful figure. She even conveyed her lust through her attractive eyes. Anyone who saw her would be lured.
Hearing the sound coming from the entrance, Danica immediately closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. She had prepared so much tonight and even brought Jordan to visit him to help her.
She couldn't fail again! Zayn had never touched her or hooked up with another woman in the past few years. She was like a widow. She always thought about how to let Zayn
look at her more. When she sensed his aura was getting closer and closer to her, her heartbeat quickened. As long as he drank the glass of red wine on the table and the scented candle took effect, he would lose control!
He didn't kiss her as expected but spoke coldly."Don't do this again in the future. Spend more energy on other things."
Danica suddenly opened her eyes and blushed. After thinking for a moment, she leaned towards him and whispered."Zayn … let's give birth to another child to accompany Jordan, OK?"She leaned against his shoulder affectionately, entangling him like a snake.
She raised her hand and inadvertently lifted his sleeve. She was stunned when she saw the tooth mark on it. It was small, so it must have been left by a woman. The unfamiliar smell of perfume on his body also confirmed her conjecture."What did you do tonight?"Her lust completely disappeared. She became angry.
Zayn pushed her away and said, "I'm going upstairs now."As soon as he turned around, Danica lost control and shouted Zayn! Did you hook up with another woman? Are you worthy of me, Mother and Jordan?" Zayn didn't want to talk with her.
Zayn was accidentally bitten by the woman from earlier when he had gotten drunk while thinking of Giselle and mistook the woman for her. He tried to forcefully grab the woman into a hug, but she had bitten him to free herself from his grip.
Danica was no longer as simple as when she had just stepped into the entertainment industry.
The dirt in this industry tainted her thoroughly.
"Why don't you touch me? Do you think I'm ugly or something?" Danica still roared in disregard of her image. "Have you ever cared about me these years when I worked hard in the entertainment industry? Why don't you marry me and just keep me by your side?"
Zayn turned around and stared at her coldly. "If you don't want to stay, you can leave at any time. But the child can stay."She was stunned. She didn't expect that he would say this so calmly without hesitation. Zayn went upstairs and entered the study.
Five years ago, someone build a lounge in the study and never went to his bedroom to sleep. Even though he rarely came back home in the last few years, anytime he came back, he stayed away from the bed since he gets reminded of Giselle each time he entered the bedroom.
Not long after, Lady Cecilia returned to the blue ridge mansion– She has not stepped a foot ever since Zayn and Giselle got married because she never supported them as she had always wanted Danica to be her daughter in law instead, she felt that she was more sophisticated and up to their standards.
She had conspired with Danica to carry out this plan, however, she was out of the country and just returned now. But, she was anxious to hear the news so she came straight to the blue ridge manor.
Seeing the arrangement in the silent living room, Lady Cecilia covered her mouth and laughed. She thought Danica had succeeded tonight. But in fact, Danica had already smashed everything in her bedroom, but she still couldn't feel relieved.
When he returned to his parent's bedroom and closed the door, Jordan saw his mother was looking at him angrily."Mom … "Danica covered his mouth and dragged him onto the bed. Because someone was assigned to dress Jordan every day, she fiercely pinched him in a place that was not easy to discover.
"You're useless. Why doesn't he even like you?" She whispered as she vented her anger."If you dare to complain to your grandma, I will never take you as my son!"Even though he was bullied, Jordan at this age still respected and relied on his mother. He nodded with tears in his eyes. Danica mocked in her heart. He was truly a coward. He didn't look like ayn at all.
“How did I even come about a useless child like you in the first place? You're good for nothing” She yelled as she took his hand and dragged him out of bed. She went over to the door and open it, then she ordered him.“Get out of here and don't you come back here”
The little boy quickly hopped out of the room with his eyes covered with moisture. He quickly wiped the tears away to avoid being discovered.
When Jordan had gone out of the room, Danica tossed herself on the bed resignedly.
On the other hand, Bethany was on the phone with Erica while sitting on the sofa in her condominium.
“Zayn must be delusional to think that I'm going to let him oppress me this time What more, he must get himself worked up by her as we speak,” Bethany said while taking a sip from her cup of coffee.
“Why would he mistake you for his dead wife? what does he think of himself? I would have given him a good besting if I was there ” Erica threatened to clutch her teeth.
“You shouldn't worry about that now. I can handle myself, and I certainly did handle him” She replied in a gentle voice.
“I know you, my friend. She's a fighter, so I don't have to worry about her getting bullied by anyone anymore” Erica sounded like a proud mother whose child had just learned how to walk on her own without anyone's support.
“Oh. I have arranged for the meeting on Saturday. She must be ecstatic about this now” Erica said after she recalled her encounter with Danica earlier.
“Is that so? it's should be a fun time, then”
“You shouldn't worry about this, Jenna is already sleeping peacefully but she does miss you so much”
“I know I shouldn't see a little child like her into my mess but I can't help it, Erica. I don't want to do this but I'm forced to do it for everyone's sake. I feel horrible about this”.
“Hey! why would you feel bad about something that allows her to feel and see a little bit of everything around her? she's willing to help you out because she cares so much about you, so don't feel about it”.
She came to Bay city just because of the arrangement of the headquarters. She didn't want to have anything to do with this man again for the rest of her life.
“Please, take care of her on my behalf” She finally heaved a sigh of relief before her eyes turned dark at the thought of the man again.
He doesn't deserve to have a happy life for what he did to me in the past. how would he now act as though he had always cared about me after I'm dead? such a hypocrite!
