Chapter: Sisterly ReunionGetting audience with Ellie Summers wasn't that difficult. All Lily had to do was call Ellie's office and pretend to be a financier under a different name.After all, Maron was looking to take hold in United States of America so Ellie was in the mood to meet with people who had the money to invest.Since there was no secretary, Lily went straight into the office. And there was her sister in flesh and blood. The same one she had forced David to cast out of the house like a used rag.But she looked so much different now. Sitting behind the big table and in the midst of the decor. Lily had the feeling that her sister was going to be a powerful competitor soon. And she was the only one who could put a stop to that.Ellie looked up, expecting to see someone she had never met before. Instead, she stared at Lily. Her sister.Ellie smiled, and shook her head from side to side.Lily walked close to the table and they stared at each other for a full minute."Still, you haven't changed. Your tri

Chapter: RageThe moment he walked into the living room, David cleared the table in one swoop and the flower vases fell to the floor."What's the problem? Why are you angry?" Lily asked, completely oblivious to the problem at hand."Your sister is the problem! The effing problem!"Lily was confused as to what he was saying "What are you talking about?""Your sister, Ellie. Didn't you see her at the party?"Lily had not seem Ellie at the party. And hearing her sister's name after five years was something that stole her composure. "Ellie? At the party?"David poured himself a drink. "Yeah, she was there. And she had gotten some high position in Maron, so she had some sway over my investors.""The same Maron we have been competing with?""Yeah," David said, and swallowed his wine. "And what with all the stuff that happened five years ago I have a feeling she is here for more than just a competition. You should talk to her."Lily frowned. She didn't like that suggestion. After all, she was the one res

Chapter: Her ReturnHer return back to the United States of America was a shocking one. No one expected Ellie Summers to return as the head of one of the biggest wine companies across Europe.Those who knew who she was were very surprised to see her in charge, and Ellie drank it all in.James came through when she called his number. He told her about David's schedules."You can send it to the email I'll text you. And also, is Lily going to be with him?""She's always with him.""Good. Then I'll be there.""Were you not going to be there if she wasn't?""I would. But her presence there would only make the scene more dramatic."James said nothing to that. It wasn't any of this business.The house she has gotten for herself was a two-storey duplex, nothing fancy, but big enough. Ellie Summers stayed there alone, letting Grace take care of Charles and Charlie back in Canada. They still had school, and she wasn't about to bring them into the limelight just yet.After all, no one even knew she kept the pregnan

Chapter: ResolveShe watched as James walked out of her office.Five years and he had the temerity to walk into her office to say he was sorry for getting her into the fix she had been in.But did revenge even matter anymore? She had been at her lowest when David filed for the divorce and got it. Wretched than she had been before meeting him. The twist was that he had gotten married to her sister, Lily.She had decided to leave the past behind her and focus on what the future had in store for her. And she had been right.She was already richer than her sister, and more than halfway to beat David's net worth. And it was also true that she was heading back to the United States of America to head her company's new branch over there.So it seemed that James was still David's personal secretary and he could pull some strings to get the necessary information he wanted.The rest of the day was filled with so much thinking that she had to leave for home earlier than usual.Charles and Charlie came to hug her

Chapter: Big RevealHe was one of the last people that she expected to walk into her office.Ellie shot to her feet, lines of surprise drawn across her face like some map. She was very much angry to see James Carter standing in front of her. Some years back, he had been the cause of her problems and she didn't like the fact that her enemy was coming to her.That was not how it was supposed to happen. Her enemies needed to stay the hell away from her. After all she had gone through."What the hell are you doing here?" Ellie wanted to know. One hand hovered over the receiver in its cradle. If James has nothing sensible to say to her, then she'd quickly call the guards."Hello, Ellie.""I asked you a question, James. What the hell are you doing here?""I came to see you, Ellie. It's been a while.""Is that all?"James hesitated. Then he said, "No.""What?""There is something you have to know, Ellie. And I really think it is high time I let you know."Ellie looked at him for some moments. She wondered what
