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”
