Gillard Family Selfishness

Danera looked at her arguing parents calmly. It wasn't the first time she had seen her parents fight. The couple's relationship was not harmonious.

Billy was a selfish man who only cared about the Gillard family's wealth and company. He made his daughters into bargaining chips in business marriages for the benefit of the Gillard family company.

Meanwhile, Alice only wants status and wealth to live in luxury.

Billy wanted a son, but Alice only gave birth to two daughters, which made him very disappointed, and he had an affair. He even had a mistress.

Alice was angry and helpless because her husband had a mistress. She hated Danera for causing her to lose a son.

"Then what should we do?! We have to find Doriane!" Alice shouted in frustration.

"I don't care about that kid anymore. She dared to run off with another man and get the Gillard family in trouble." Billy gritted his teeth and gave his wife a sharp look.

"If you dare report to the police without my knowledge, I will divorce you! You and Doriane will get nothing from the Gillards."

Alice gasped at her husband's threat. She wasn't afraid of divorce, but she didn't want a divorce because it would give Billy's mistress a chance to replace her and take the Gillard family fortune for her illegitimate child.

Alice tolerated her husband having an affair because she depended on the Gillard family for a life of luxury.

Alice could only grit her teeth and hold her anger inwardly.

Billy was still upset and turned to Danera, who had been silent.

"Don't just stand there like a fool. Hurry up and change your clothes. You have to find Zayn!"

Danera gasped and looked down sluggishly.

"Okay, Dad ...." She resignedly replaced the wedding dress with an everyday dress.

After changing her clothes, she heard from the hotel staff that her parents had gone home. They didn't even wait for her or tell Danera.

Danera smiled bitterly as she left the hotel alone.

As Danera left the hotel, she stood dazed in the courtyard. What should she do?

Danera couldn't contact Zayn because she didn't have his cell phone number. She also couldn't go straight home because Billy would be furious.

Danera needed somewhere to go. She felt so miserable.

Danera sighed and looked up at the cloudy sky. Grey clouds covered the sky, and raindrops fell on the earth.

Although she was married to the man she secretly loved today, Danera did not feel happy.

She was just Doriane's replacement, and Zayn didn't care about her. If she stayed, Danera would only suffer under Zayn's cold treatment and the Gillard family's constant demands.

Danera stared blankly ahead, watching the raindrops. After a while, she took a deep breath and ran through the rain without caring that her clothes would get wet.

Tin!

Suddenly, there was the sound of a car horn behind her. Danera turned around to see a car stopped next to her.

The glass door came down, revealing the face of the driver, who Danera knew was Zayn's driver, Sir. Harry.

"Miss, come in; Mr. Zayn is waiting for you.".

Danera hesitated momentarily until Zayn lowered the rear windshield and looked at her coldly.

"Are you going to stay there until you get soaked? Hurry up and get in."

Danera hurriedly got into the passenger seat beside Zayn as the rain became heavy. The car left the hotel.

Danera shivered as she felt the car's air conditioning. Her clothes were a little wet from the rain. She glanced at the man next to her.

Zayn's face looked grim, looking out the window. He had removed his black suit at the wedding, leaving only a white shirt and black pants. The three buttons of his shirt were open, exposing his broad chest.

Danera blushed slightly, averted her eyes quickly, and looked out the window.

Danera didn't know where they were going.

No one spoke in the car. Zayn hadn't said anything since Danera got into the car.

Danera cleared her throat and asked cautiously. "Where are we going?"

"To my apartment. From now on, you'll be living with me." Zayn replied without looking at Danera.

"Ah, well...." Danera looked at him.

Zayn continued to look out the window. His forehead looked furrowed as if he was thinking about something heavy.

Was he thinking about Doriane?

After all, Doriane was Zayn's girlfriend for five years. The incident of Doriane running away with another man on their wedding day must have hurt Zayn.

Danera looked down at her hands and sighed heavily. She didn't want to disturb Zayn when he wasn't in a good mood.

This day had been tough for Danera.

The problem of Doriane running off with another man on the wedding day left a huge problem for the Gillard family and Danera.

Soon, they arrived at Zayn's apartment.

Danera looked around Zayn's apartment. The apartment was spacious and elegant. The furniture was expensive and had a predominantly white and grey interior. The sofa was beige, and the ceiling was painted white.

Zayn walked away without paying any attention to Danera. His tall, well-built body walked through the living room without saying anything. Danera hesitated for a moment before following him.

Zayn's steps stopped so abruptly that Danera bumped into his hardback. She winced, her forehead aching. Zayn was not affected in the slightest.

"That's your room." Zayn pointed to a room to the right. "And that one is my room." Zayn's pointer switched to the room on the left.

Danera was silent as she looked at the two different doors. Holding back the breath that was about to escape.

They won't stay in the same room, and having a first night is impossible.
