Chapter: Jealous wife |Meelah’s POV|I start rounding up the exercise of decluttering my space because this is the first time I am getting back home at the normal closing hour instead of working overtime like I have been doing with Brian, only for my phone to start ringing, so I pause what I am doing to pick up the call.“Hey babes… how are you doing?” Eden says as soon as I pick up the video calls and before I can reply to her, the other girls join the call.“Melanie Caleb… you skipped two girl’s nights without any call nor explanation to justify your actions,” Aurora accuses as soon as she joins the call.“Hmmm,” I sigh deeply.“The past two weeks have been crazy in Kings Corporation, with me trying to stay out of my husband’s ex-girlfriend who tries to sabotage me at any opportunity that she gets, the latest project of Kings Corporation that has been making both Brian and I work overtime because he needs to prove to his father that he can handle the company while I have had to prove to people that I did

Chapter: Welcome event |Meelah’s POV|Sunday went by in a blur with my girls showing up at mine and Brian’s house because they were worried sick about me switching off my phone after the incident that happened at the movie premier not only did they just help uplift my mood, but they also mentally prepared me to face the cold world (Kings Corp).It's Monday morning and instead of excitedly walking towards the tall and imposing structure that is standing out against the sky, reaching for the clouds in front of me with the windows arranged in a grid-like pattern in front of me, I am quite nervous but also eager to start work after being away for a while.I park my latest baby (the Tesla that was gifted to me by my father-in-law), then I take out a few of my necessities while clutching my ID badge, my bag, and other necessities, and then head towards the reception desk.I greet the security guard with a friendly smile and I swipe my badge at the entrance turnstile, hearing the satisfying beep that confirms my a

Chapter: Learning to respect boundaries |BRIAN’s POV|“Can you stop being difficult and just tell me who the photographer nigga at the movie premier is?” I urge Meelah because her nonchalant attitude is seriously starting to piss me off.“No one important,” she answers, waving the issue like it is nothing important as she focuses on her breakfast.“Photographer nigga is no one important, but you and your sister were fighting over him?” I remark to get a reaction from Meelah, and judging from the way she pauses dramatically from reaching for the baked beans that are a part of the breakfast platter, I know that I must have struck a nerve.“Fighting over him?” she scoffs.“Are you for real right now?” she questions, looking at me dead in the eyes.“How was I minding my business and getting my pictures taken, only for me to get drenched by the torn in my flesh the same things as me fighting over a man?” she expresses painfully and that makes me realize that I must have gone too far.“Fine…. I apologize for my insensitive choice

Chapter: It's show time |Meelah’s POV|I should have known that running into RK the previous night was not going to end well or should I say that I should not have unblocked that villain and tried to give him the benefit of doubt by thinking he must have had a valid reason for decamping to the enemies camp, but it was obvious from all indication that RK chose Jayden Conor and Skylar over me because of the money that they offered him, but the question that has been on my mind since yesterday was why RK Is still trying so hard to be in my good graces after everything that happened.To say that I was livid when Skylar tried to mess up my life once again by using RK was an understatement, and even though I had so many unanswered questions for Ryan, I was way too blinded by rage to hear him out, and now that everything ended up blowing out of proportion, I kinda wished that I was patient enough to hear him out so that I can at least get closure and move on with my life.I ended up avoiding Brain after we got home

Chapter: Sisters clash |Brian’s POV|After trying to get Meelah familiar with the movie she didn’t look interested in the slightest, probably because this type of movie is not her kind of thing, she stepped out of the cinema to get some fresh air, but she went for a long time.Even though I want to keep enjoying my movie, I have no choice but to step out to check up on Meelah simply because I brought her here and I have to make sure that she has a wonderful experience, or else the aim of bringing her here will be defeated.I stand in front of the event hall, scanning around to see if my eyes can capture Meelah from afar to assure myself that she is fine so that I can return to the movie theater but I see her with a man who is busy taking pictures of her and from the looks of it, I don’t think this is the first time they are meeting because of how he is putting his hands on her to direct each pose he wanted her to strike when he could have just described it tor her or strike the pose instead of touching her

Chapter: Movie premier saga MEELAH’S POV|I wasn’t expecting that sly human being to take advantage of the situation by offering to help me if only I agreed to hear him out but I had to agree because I couldn’t let my girl’s efforts be in vain, and instead of sending the driver to get me a random ring, but Brian stepped down from the car himself to get me a ring which made me wonder what he is playing at.Anyway, Brian got me a pretty simple and elegant ring that doesn’t look as complicated as the previous ring and I love it because I think this ring sits my personality more, more so you will barely know that it is a counterfeit ring, so a win is a win for me.We are now at the event venue, and here is Brian stepping out of the car while I am waiting for him to open the door for me because even though I agreed to hear him out, he still has to make up for how miserable and rejected I felt during the week so that I can feel his sincerity.Big Daddy Brian has finally put the gentlemanly teachings he got from his wo

Chapter: Discovery of my cheating wife |GREY’S POV|My day started with a series of impromptu meetings and I just had to be on the ground even though Kyle offered to attend the meetings because I have a problem of making sure that I get things done by myself, and towards the end of the meeting, Kyle had to book Valeri and me another flight because we missed our flight already.The flight was quite interesting at first because it was quite interesting to watch Valeri make a fool of herself but she eventually slept and I just ended up going through the magazines that were provided on the plane.When I got bored, I slept for a while and woke up a few minutes before the plane landed, so I woke Valeri up so that we could finish the offboarding formalities.Immediately after we finished our offboarding formalities, I turned on my phone to talk to Kylee who confirmed the dinner reservation that he scheduled in advance with the CEO of Tobias International Holdings, so I dropped Valeri off at the hotel and came all the way here so

Chapter: Journey to Pearl coast |VALERI’S POV|The last few hours have been a roller coaster of stress, with Grey Remington showing up at the Clinton baking company to pick me up for shopping.I was completely taken aback by the fact that he knew where to find me, uncomfortable with his pretentious act of acting like the perfect husband to me, and suffocated with being choked by his attention because I didn’t ask for any of it, but he won’t let me be, and I just had to deal with it because there was no valid excuse I could tender as a valid escape reason.I knew that the whole motive behind the shopping and unnecessary attention was to give the impression that he loved and appreciated me which worked quite well in my past life, but I found it extremely disgusting in this life.I tried to shoo him away from me but he claimed he wanted to keep me company while I packed, so I had no choice but to tolerate him.I eventually got the perfect escape to pretend to be asleep after Grey stepped out of my room to attend a Zoom

Chapter: Journey to self love|VALERI’S POV|“Having lunch,” she answers.“Lunch?” I question and she nods.“I thought you said that waiting for our enemies to make moves won’t cut it for us, so we need to start taking laws into our hands before we are forced to lay down all our trump cards on the table,” I remind her because I am expecting her to keep the energy that she started with going.“Yea… I know that,” she answers as she ignites the vehicle.“I was just mad that you were avoiding being intimate with Grey Remington and from the little interaction that I have, I know that Grey Remington is a very smart person, so there was no way he wouldn’t start suspecting especially when you avoid something as important as you guys’ honeymoon and he will start paying unnecessary attention to his moves which is not what we want at all,” she explains with her eyes burning with determination while her hand is animated as she talks instead of the hands being on the steering wheel.“We have leverage over Grey with the knowled

Chapter: A pep talk for revenge |Valeri’s POV| “What the fuck just happened?” I ask as I blink back in shock realizing that Vee just walked out on me when we are in the middle of an argument. “Did Vee and I just fight over this whole revenge thing?” “What did I do wrong to make our misunderstanding escalate in a matter of seconds?” “Was I the problem?” “I stop to ask myself a series of questions as I replay the events that just happened in my head,” “What is the way forward for me now?” “Should I just ignore the fact that my bestie and I are at odds and just focus on the issue at hand?” I bombard myself with a series of questions. “You know what?” I say to myself. “I will just ignore whatever Vee and I have going on between us and focus on the honeymoon shenanigan since she asked me to do what pleases me,” I hiss angrily as I try to go back to my work. I try to focus on my work but I can’t seem to concentrate because that is exactly what happens to me when I am fighting with my bestie, I can’t

Chapter: Honey moon shenanigans |Valeri’s POV| I stay in the same position that I have been since Grey's message came in, reading and re-reading the message over and over again because I can’t seem to wrap my head around why I am getting such a text from him. “Valeri, let’s make unforgettable memories together by going on a honeymoon trip together this Thursday,” he sent. “I have called your secretary to clear your schedule from this afternoon so that you can have enough time to pack your things because you deserve a trip like this and more,” I read again. I have been suppressing the urge to call Vee to get her ass up here since I got the message, but I know that she is busy with her first photo shoot with Donald’s Couture, and if it was just our company that was involved, I would have dragged her out and made her reschedule the shoot for another time, but we are a collaborating with other brands. Also, this first shoot is kind of huge for Vivian because today is just day three of her working in Donald’s

Entangled With The Billionaire Prince
“Don’t tell me that meeting the man who slept with me at the whiskey library was all a part of your brilliant plan to Control me, my family, and my father's properties?” she throws the question at me.
“It was not all a part of my plan” I try to defend.
“If you knew something about the stranger at the whiskey library, why didn't you just tell me?” she asks, looking at me dead in the eyes with her Hazel eyes piercing deep into my soul.
“Why did you bind me to an arranged marriage with you and accept my baby as yours when the Queen tried to throw me out as if you were doing me a favour?” she yells.
“What was the aim behind your notion of false sacrifice?” she continues with her series of questions.
“I know that you may not believe me right now, but I can swear on my life that the whole episode at the whiskey library was not part of the plan,” I try to explain even though I know that I sound really stupid saying that
“So there was a plan,” she asks, wearing a smile that is loaded like a gun.
“Can you please listen to me,” I plead.
“Listen to you?” she scoffs.
“Just because you are the billionaire crown prince of Orion you killed my father, then You set me up as the prime suspect in the murder case, blackmailed me to be around you or you exposed my identity as the legitimate daughter of Dylan Grayson and now I am stumbling on the secret that the stranger that I had a one night stand with at the whiskey library was all a part of your brilliant plan to get me entangled with you?” she scoffs in disdain

Chapter: A deal with the devil.|ELEMA’S POV|I have been stranded outside this building for a very long time, with the early morning cold seeping into my bones as a result of the light clothing that I have on.I have tried everything humanly possible from waving down cars that are going into the palace, to pleading with the security out of desperation, but nothing worked.My frustration is mounting, and I can feel the tears of exasperation trying to spill, but just when I was about to give up, a car pulled up in front of me.I observed the car, looking kind of confused because I didn’t wave the car down, and lo and behold, my eyes landed on the second prince of Orion as he rolled down his glass.“Need a hand?” he inquired and I quickly got up from the ground with relief washing over me.I couldn’t help but smile back at him, my frustration melting away in the face of the unexpected client, as I quickly made my way to the other side of the door that his driver already opened for me to get in.“What are you doing out

Squinting at the bright screen, I swipe to answer, bringing the phone to my ear."Hello?" l let out with a voice thick with sleep, the word barely more than a mumbled grunt. “Were you sleeping?” the person at the other end of the call inquires and at the question, I run my eyes with my free hand, trying to shake off the remnants of a dream already fading from memory.“Girl!!!” Jayda lets out an exclamation that makes me curious as to why she is the one on the other end of the phone.“Where were you last night?” she inquires and I try to recall the events of the previous night even though my brain is still in the process of booting. “The more detailed you are about your movement the better,” she adds.“After texting you to rant about how stressful my day was,
