Andrea’s POV “Yay! Dad’s going with us!” said Zayden with a cheeky grin on his face. “I’m sure he has other work to take care of, Zay. Did you force him to come along? Did you call him?” I glanced at my mobile phone lying on the sofa. I was sure they had tampered with it.“I’m sorry, Zion. They didn’t know you were busy. You can go back to work. I can manage this.” I couldn’t look at Zion out of embarrassment. Now I was sure the twins had forced him to come here.“But Mom, I wanted Dad to go with us,” wailed Zayden, placing the phone back to where it was. “I told him not to call Dad, but he didn’t listen to me,” mumbled Adrian. “Zayden, you will be punished for this. We aren’t going anywhere.” “Hey, relax, everyone! Andrea, he just called to inform me about the trip, but it was entirely my decision to accompany you.” I was ill at ease. Why did he want to leave his other obligations and accompany us? “I’m sure you have other important work to do.” I tried my best to dismiss him,

Andrea’s POV Throughout the two-hour drive towards San Diego, the twins were bursting with excitement. Their infectious mood seemed to have caught up with Zion, too. He cracked jokes with them but strangely all his sentences were double-edged. Was I imagining their underlying meaning? “Dad, are we going to a learning center or a ranch?” asked Adrian, after checking out their thirtieth ranch along the stretch. “It’s both, I think. Ask your mom. She has booked a room for us.” I gaped at him, unable to contradict him in front of the kids. I had booked a room for the three of us only. “Um, it’s actually too small for the four of us.” He didn’t at all look perturbed and flashed me a charming smile. “That’s alright. I’ve upgraded it.” My jaws now dropped further. When did he upgrade?“Yay! So will we stay at a ranch, Mom?” I nodded at the twins of them.“It’s a working ranch where they rescue, breed, and preserve wild hoof stock, like zebras, giraffes, deer, antelope, and many more. Yo

Andrea’s POV “Mom, look!” Adrian’s voice brought me out of my daze and I watched Zion ride Chesterfield with the twins in front of him! It didn’t bother me since I trusted his horse-riding skills. I smiled at the excited look on their faces. It made me realize how badly they needed Zion in their lives. Maybe they didn’t need me as much as they needed Zion! The inexplicable bond that had developed with Zion within such a brief span of time was indeed surprising. I hadn’t thought about it at all. In fact, I had never expected it to happen. Now that they had grown so close, I didn’t know how they would stay away from him. I knew how busy Zion was. It wasn’t possible for him to stay here with us for long, and I wouldn’t leave everything and go with him to Athens. This was a dead end, and I didn’t know how to deal with it. “Mom, do you want a ride?” asked Zayden, as they galloped past.“No, I’m good.” I refused to look at Zion as I turned away to walk towards the cottage. The memories w

Andrea’s POV We had a quiet dinner in the cottage since the twins were too tired to go out. “Tomorrow is our last day here!” sighed Adrian, finishing his meal and glancing at me hopefully.“Mom, are we going to Athens with dad?” asked Zayden while I shook my head. “Not this time.” They protested immediately, turning to Zion for help. “I’ll come back for you. This time, your mom isn’t ready to go.” I looked down, knowing there will be war on this now. Our peaceful vacation was already disrupted. “Why? We’ll help you pack up, mom!” I sighed, turning towards the twins to address the issue. “It’s not about packing, children. I have two ongoing projects I have to oversee. Once I complete them, maybe I can take a break!” They groaned in agony since I was never free from these projects. “When are you free, mom? You’ll take more work.” They sulked all throughout the meal, and I didn’t know how to cheer them up. Zion kept silent, refusing to help after dropping the bombshell and dumpin

Zion’s POV After pining for Andrea for five long years, my dream of sleeping with her finally came true. Last night I had the best sleep of my life. I was tremendously upset with her when she termed our relationship a mistake. She might repent it, but I had never once felt that way, not even when I had to marry Elena. If I repented anything, it was my behavior towards her that drove her away from me. Yet I had no control over my jealousy and my mouth when I met her after so many years. If only I would have started on a positive note with her instead of misunderstanding her at every step of the way. Maybe we would have been together by now!“Dad, aren’t we going? You aren’t ready yet!” said Adrian, tugging at my hand to bring me out of my dazed state. “Yes. We’ll leave in thirty minutes. Zayden, wake up your mom.” “Yes, Dad!” He rushed out while I packed up a small bag of essentials for the twins. “Here are your clothes. Freshen up quickly and wait for us.” I went out of his room t
Last Updated : 2024-05-20A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Chapter Thirty-One – Who Was The Woman?
Andrea’s POV The twins were inconsolable on realizing that Zion had left for Athens without meeting them for the last time. I couldn’t admit it out loud but I was disappointed too. It was true I couldn’t accompany him to Athens at such short notice, but at least I could see him before he left. Now I knew he wouldn’t return soon. Would it take him another five years to remember us?“Maybe he was too busy to come over. Why don’t you two call him in the evening and talk to him?” They cheered up, and I dropped them off at their school. It was so easy to comfort children. I drove over to my office, but strangely, the zeal to carry on had left me. I felt dull, and sad, with no energy left in my body. “Are you unwell or something?” asked Roberta, and I shook my head. I couldn’t tell her I was physically fit. It was only my heart that was sick! Why was I missing Zion so much when all we did was fight together? Somehow, I repented my behavior towards him. Why couldn’t I give in once to my he

Andrea’s POV All night and the whole day at work the next day, I couldn’t drive Zayden’s words out of my mind. I should have tried to patch up with Zion and given them a normal environment to grow up in. Guilt washed over me and I swore to talk to Zion soon. He, too, wanted me to move in with him, right? Why should I care about the other woman? I returned home early, but the twins had gone out for football practice. Kristina left for the day and I sat down with a drink to relax. Should I call Zion and discuss the issue with him? If he agreed, I could shift to Athens in a month. The doorbell rang, bringing me out of my thoughts. Maybe the twins were back from practice! I opened the door and gaped at none other than Sebastián Conrad on my doorstep! “Um, Mr. Conrad? Please come inside.” I was completely at a loss for words, not having expected him here. So, Zion was right. He was here in LA! “Please call me Sebastián. We aren’t colleagues anymore.” He smiled, coming into my messy a

Andrea’s POV “Zayden! What do you mean? How can your dad be here? Go to your room right now.” Although I scolded him, my heart sank at the news. Was Zion really here? Nothing was impossible for him. Zayden looked desperate, and so did Adrian. “Yes, mom. We met him downstairs. He was unloading his luggage. He should be here any minute.” Just then, the elevator stopped on our floor and my heart thumped wildly in my chest. Even Sebastián looked ill at ease as if contemplating an escape. “I should get going, Andrea. I’ll see you later.” Before he could walk out through the door, Zion stood on my doorstep with a grim look on his face. Then his glance fell upon Sebastián and he clenched his jaws in fury. “Zayden, Adrian, go inside,” I whispered, urging them to leave. I knew things would go out of hand now. “Yes, mom!” They dashed inside obediently, and I released the breath I was holding. “Zion, what are you doing here?” I turned on a fake, nervous smile. “What the f*ck is he doing

A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Epilogue
Andrea’s POV There was excitement in the air as we drove down to Zion’s beachside villa in the Athenian Riviera. The twins and their pups couldn’t contain their exuberance. The prospect of meeting Zane and Angel after so long excited them beyond words. My pregnancy hormones had settled down and, apart from a little fatigue, I had no other symptoms of the first trimester. Zion took good care of me and employed lots of help to organize our dream wedding. Despite the short notice, I wasn’t stressed at all. Our event coordinator, Ms. Pappas, was extremely efficient and handled everything well. My wedding dress was perfect, just the way I wanted, and so was the decor. Despite my hectic work schedule, she completed every task effortlessly. Ever since she took over, even Zion could relax a lot. “Mom, when will Zane and Angel come over? Tomorrow?” asked Adrian hopefully. “No, after two days.” “Why can’t they come tomorrow? We’ll be bored,” said Zayden. “There’s so much to do, you won’t
A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Chapter Seventy-Three – Wedding Plans
Andrea’s POV The next morning, Zion took me to the gynecologist for a proper checkup. We found out I was two months pregnant! “How can that be possible when I felt no symptoms of pregnancy?” “Sometimes the only symptom is the missed monthly cycle. Since you have an irregular cycle, you might not have realized it. There might be subtle signs that you didn’t notice.” I nodded, agreeing with the doctor. “Yes, I had been a little preoccupied with work!” “It’s quite normal not to have symptoms. Don’t worry, the fetus is growing well. Follow the diet chart and folic acid supplements and you’ll be fine.” Zion released a sigh of relief and insisted I took the day off. With the twins at school and Zion at work, I was bored all morning. A call from Grandpa Vincent brought a smile to my lips. “So, how is everything going?” I smiled, knowing what he wanted to know. He wanted to know when we were planning our wedding! “Everything is fabulous here, Grandpa. The twins have settled down at s
A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Chapter Seventy-Two – Pregnant Again?
Andrea’s POV The music slowed to a romantic number, and the twins walked away to watch a lighthouse near the coast. I wrapped my arms around Zion’s shoulders and swayed to the music. The temperatures had dipped after sunset, but the heat radiating from his body kept me warm. “This is what I wanted!” he whispered, planting a kiss on my neck as we caught a moment with one another. We were the only couple dancing on the deck. Anacá escaped Eros the moment the romantic music started. Although I was curious about what was going on between them, I kept mum. “This is the best part of the day!” I admitted, resting my head on his shoulders. His arm around me drew me closer, and it felt like bliss. The mesmerizing location, the gentle movement of the yacht as it cut across the bay, surging ahead, the moonlight above and the sparkling lights all around heightened my emotions. The day’s exhaustion diminished a little, and I felt better. “No, the best part is yet to come!” I looked up to see
A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Chapter Seventy-One – A Memorable Getaway
Zion’s POV The entire week, I was busy planning our getaway to the Schinias Bay area on the eastern shores of Athens. I had been there almost twenty-five years ago when my mom was alive. The place was secluded then, but Eros informed me about the development of snorkeling activities around Nea Makri and the hidden bays of the Marathon Cape Area. He wanted to accompany us with Anacá, and Andrea willingly agreed. I didn’t mind too, as he was more knowledgeable than I was. “Are we going to the beach with Blaze, Chase, and their mom?” gasped Zayden in disbelief. Anacá’s pet golden retriever, Lucy, their mom, would obviously accompany us too since she never went out without her pet. “Yes, Uncle Eros and Aunt Anacá will accompany us also!” I added, making them grin. “I love the plan. You’re the coolest dad!” said Adrian. “I’m glad, buddy! Now help your mom pack up!” They rushed to the kitchen to force Andrea to pack while I smiled at their enthusiasm.Despite living in LA, it was surpr
A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Chapter Seventy – Building An Empire
Andrea’s POV Zion helped to expedite the shifting of Ratio Architects to Athens in twenty days. With his experience, the move happened so smoothly; I was impressed. “Mr. Lazarus will educate you about the work permits and visa process. I’ll see you at lunch.” I smiled, but couldn’t thank him for his efforts in front of his lawyer. After Zion left, I was extremely busy with the visa process. Afterward, I had a meeting with Mr. Aetos, the GM of ZC Architects, followed by a meeting with Mr. Barlos, the GM of Conrad. With both companies doing well, I was still considering a merger for ease of operation. I would have to consult Zion before making a final decision. My new PA, Cora Adamis, was an intern and fumbled with the work. As such, I missed my efficient PA, Roberta, back in LA. It was just a matter of a month. She would be here to handle my schedule like before. I couldn’t wait to connect with my old team of Ratio! We had grown into a family! Cora came in and handed me the folder
A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Nine – A Dream Life With Zion
Andrea’s POV The next morning, I was in the brightest of spirits, eager to go to the twins’ school and then to the office. The twins were more excited than I was at the prospect of being alone at home. With their charm, they had Jenna and Melinda dancing to their tunes in such a brief span of time. Their pets were no less, and I panicked at the thought of the mayhem the quartet would create at home. “Don’t worry about them. It’s just a matter of a few days. When their school starts, they would need to leave with us.” I nodded, and we soon left. Zion’s eyes swept over the entire length of me and I blushed at his lust-filled scrutiny. I was still getting adjusted to this horny side of his nature that he had effectively kept hidden from me for so long. How? I had no idea!“Did you have to wear that skirt? I’m getting an erection just at the sight of you!” he chuckled as he drove on. I rolled my eyes at him, glancing down to check the bulge growing at an alarming rate. “Tomorrow onwar
A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Eight – The Bedroom Date?
Andrea’s POV I tucked the twins into bed and walked out of the room, only to find Blaze and Chase following me out as well. “Where do you think you’re going? It’s sleepy time for you too. Go, sleep!” They trotted off to their cots, disappointed that their playtime was over.At last, I heaved a sigh of relief and walked over to our bedroom, where Zion had been waiting for me for over an hour. Surely, he would be annoyed with me. I wondered what he had planned for us! I couldn’t wait to see. The moment I walked into the bedroom, Zion grunted with frustration. “I thought you were planning to sleep with Blaze and Chase tonight!” I chuckled as I closed the door. “They were planning to follow me here. I swear these pups have more energy than the twins.” I turned around and gasped to see him right in front of me. He picked my hand up and led me towards the coffee table in one corner. How had I not seen it before?It was decorated with heart-shaped balloons and a white drape over which lay
A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Seven – A Coffee Date
Andrea’s POV We walked hand in hand into the cozy café at the clubhouse. With the twins eager to start practice immediately after enrolment, we were free to enjoy ourselves. He led me to a corner seat, and we poured over the menu card, excited to be on an outing together. It wasn’t an outing in the actual sense of the term, but for me, it was like a surprise date with the man I loved. “What do you want to have?” I asked, only to find him gazing at me instead of the menu card. “You.” I blushed yet rolled my eyes. “I’m not available right now. Choose between coffee or drinks.” He groaned as if he didn’t know it already. “Shall we have a coffee date, then?” My heart skipped a beat on hearing something I was dying for. Yes, for the last seventeen years, I had been dying to go on a date with him. This time, as his fiancée, when I had started dreaming of a life together with him, he was abducted. “Are you sure? I don’t know if you want a date with me. You have always left me hanging!
A Bittersweet Revenge - Fighting The Reckless Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Six – Back On My Feet
Zion’s POV The water cascaded down our naked bodies as we stood wrapped up in each other’s arms under the shower. This was a dream I had been wanting to fulfill since the day I met her! I hadn’t expected it to be fulfilled after seventeen years when I had almost given up hope! My hands roamed freely on her delicate skin, feeling her curves. “Mine!” I whispered hoarsely as I trailed my mouth to her neck, her throat, and down to her breasts. My fingers inched towards her slick pu*sy and plunged in. “Oh! Zion, please!” She begged me to please her, but the pain in my leg disturbed me. I couldn’t do justice to my dreams in this position. “Let’s continue in the bathtub! It’s more comfortable!” She groaned when I released her, leading her toward the bathtub. I felt a little disappointed that I couldn’t please her the way I wanted to. “Are you in pain, Zion?” She turned to glance at my injury as she filled the tub. I wondered how she knew. “A little. It’ll be fine once we’re in the tub
