Last Updated:
2024-11-11 19:05:23Nora’s POV
Molly Campbell was a renowned star whose music captivated audiences worldwide, making her the object of desire for many.
However, an unfortunate incident led to her, being dubbed 'Beauty without brains' by envious women.
Despite rumors that she traded favors with producers for fame, I knew Molly to be kind-hearted and honorable.
When I approached her to join her backup singers, she welcomed me warmly after my voice passed the test, a gesture that other celebrities had denied me.
Her generosity left a lasting impression on me. Hitherto, when her career took a downturn, so did mine as a backup singer, forcing me to work as a waitress until a life-changing opportunity arose two years ago.
Don Giovanni Dawson, the CEO of Dawson's Group, acquired this club and entrusted me with its management, along with others in different states, under certain conditions.
His associates had informed him of my connection to Molly,

Molly’s POV I was eager to find out what Giovanni was up to, so when I saw Nora, I couldn't resist asking her, even though she seemed uncomfortable with the question. "I don't know much about his personal life, just rumors about a woman and a son. We need to leave now. Don gave us only two hours," she said hurriedly, leaving my mind struggling to keep up. Being a housewife had shifted my perspective on many things, so re-entering the world made me nervous. Thanks to Wesley, I was determined not to give up, but hearing her mention ‘Don’ piqued my interest. "Don? What do you mean? Is he some kind of mafia boss?" Those people were known for their ruthless dealings in illegal activities. If Giovanni was involved with them, I needed to find a way to escape quickly, though I couldn't fathom how he could have ended up in such a situation. Nora appeared helpless and fearful, which only fueled my curiosity as she evaded my questions. "Let me find you a dress to change into. They're for e

Giovanni’s POV I have never been in debt, but I owe a debt of gratitude to Molly Campbell. Despite my efforts, I learned she had moved from Alaska where we last met. Determined to repay her kindness, I was disheartened to hear she had married after the scandal, but I respected her husband. He must truly care for her and be a better person than I. All I wanted was to make amends. She only needed to make a wish, and I would fulfill it. My life was in disarray, and I knew she would never be mine again. However, upon hearing from Nora that she was at the club, old emotions resurfaced, prompting me to leave the executive meeting to find her. Upon arriving at the club, I discovered she was nowhere to be found. My heart sank, realizing that, as in the past, she still had many enemies around her. Molly had once saved my life, yet I had deeply hurt her. All I wanted was to make amends without any conditions. When I met her with those two men, it was clear that someone was pulling the str

Molly’s POVThe temperature in the store changed dramatically when the person blocked Melody’s hand, and I was strangely captivated by his alluring cologne scent.It couldn’t be him, could it? Yes, it was. Gianna was dressed the same way he had left the hotel. I wondered how his white outfit remained spotless.The atmosphere in the store had dropped to zero degrees, and even I shivered at the sound of his voice. "Close the store. No one is allowed to enter or exit," he commanded.I hadn't seen the two men following him clearly last night, but a part of my blurry memory and Nora's mention of his bodyguards began to make sense.Those were the men with him when he rescued me. A part of me wanted to question them about the disappearance of those men, but another part cautioned me not to dare.Punches from Gianni's bodyguards swiftly took down the two security men restraining Nora."Why? We are just following orders," one of the security men cried out, feeling wronged. Gianni pushed Melody

Molly’s POV“Gianni…” I began, but he cut me off, his words cutting through me like daggers.“Don’t. This is how you let people walk all over you. The world isn’t ruled by kindness,” Gianni said coldly, and in that moment, I feared there was no hope left for him.The darkness seemed to have consumed the man who was once my world, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was that darkness that drove him to disappear without a trace.Get them out of my sight," he ordered, his anger directed solely at me.I had no regrets for intervening in whatever he had planned. Melody and the other attendants were forcefully removed from the shop, their pleas falling on deaf ears."I think they're lucky," a shopper remarked, and I furrowed my brow in confusion.The attendants had just lost their jobs, and yet they were considered fortunate. It wasn't until one of them whispered to the other,"They would have been reported missing." I overheard her hushed words and realized the gravity of the situation.F

Nora’s words kept echoing in my mind even after she had left. “Beware of Don’s secretary.” I wanted to inquire further, but it was impossible without revealing that we were discussing Gianni’s secretary.I could only hope to encounter her again to uncover the details of what she was trying to convey.Gianni graciously opened the car door for me, and I couldn’t help but notice that certain gestures from our past, like him holding the door for me and carrying my bag while shopping, remained unchanged.“Thank you,” I expressed as I settled into the car, taken aback by the expressions on the faces of his bodyguards and secretary.Sir, are you going somewhere?" she asked as he opened the door and prepared to sit down.I was relieved when Molly mentioned that she was Don's secretary, but I couldn't help but notice her awkward demeanor.However, I decided it wasn't my place to dwell on it. "Yes, I'll see you at the office tomorrow. I've already signed everything. Is there anything else?" Gi
Last Updated : 2024-11-17After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 14 – I Don’t Want Her
Giovanni’s POVI was greatly upset because I never let people like Melody and her friend off the hook.It bothered me that my employee was being mean to a woman who had once saved my life, an ex-girlfriend whom I had promised to help.Despite my determination to declare them missing, Molly somehow prevented me from doing so. I was acting in her best interest, so if she didn’t want it, there wasn’t much I could do about it.Upon returning home, I was surprised to find out that she had Roger in mind.Marie was already aware of my strict rules regarding children's toys, as I wanted to ensure Roger's intellectual development surpassed mine.In the underworld, dangers lurked, and age or innocence did not matter to those who sought to harm us. We lived each day prepared for any threat that may come our way.I provided Roger with books to enhance his cognitive abilities, even though he was only four years old. Roger was exceptionally bright, reading and comprehending fluently by the age of t

After overhearing the father and son conversation, I deduced that Roger's previous nannies never stayed at this house.What a waste of such a vast space, reminiscent of Wesley's new mansion. Gianni's residence was still grander and more opulent than that.I noticed some women in uniforms, unmistakably maids, who seemed taken aback by the little boy's outburst.Standing behind the door as Roger shouted for me to leave, I remained resolute, fearing that if he had his way this time, I might miss the opportunity to get to know him."I just want to say hi," I ventured, not anticipating his kindness but also not bracing myself for his harsh words."I hate you," he bellowed from inside. I forced a smile, catching an inscrutable expression on Gianni's face. It was evident he was inclined to intervene, but I was not ready to give up just yet."I understand you hate me, but you don't know me. Why don't we give each other a chance to get acquainted? If you still dislike me after a month, I will l

Molly’s POV“What are you up to, Molly?” He asked in a serious tone but for some reason, I was not afraid of him.I folded my arms and glared at Gianni, explaining the situation vividly to him.“If you handle getting him ready for preschool every morning, then I won’t have a job, right?” In other words, I would rather stay elsewhere than free-load in his mansion.I noticed the conflicting look in his eyes and continued, “How did he even get ready this morning, and don’t you travel at all?”Someone like him would indeed travel a couple of times so who takes care of Roger when he’s away?“When Dad’s not around, I do everything myself. No one must help me except him,” Roger said defiantly, I was beginning to wonder if he was a toddler or an adult.The commanding way he spoke mirrored his father but he was too young to have that attitude.“You&rsquo

Molly’s POVI couldn’t be upset with Gianni because Octavia was Roger’s mother. However, Gianni should be nearing thirty. As to how the two produced Roger, it remained a mystery to me.Roger was in the shower when I reached his room, but he was bathing angrily. I went to help him.“Look, she’s your mother, and you have to accept it, even if you can’t love her,” I tried to explain to him, but he was irrational.“No, you are my mother. I don’t even know her, and all these years, she took all of daddy’s weekends, never caring about me and leaving me out of it. She only loves daddy,” Roger said, sounding more like an adult than a child. I turned off the faucet when I realized he was clean enough and wrapped him in a towel. How he was able to break down his mother’s character and understand that the woman never cared for him was exceptional but unexpected from a four-year-old. “Roger, there must be some explanation, okay? Daddy loves you so much, so if he brought her, then she must be g

Octavia’s POVTwo days ago.“Mom, you came?" I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the woman with six bodyguards. She was pretty and fierce, looking more like a twenty-year-old than the fifty-something-year-old woman she was."I know you weren't expecting me, but I had to do it for my son," she smiled a little. Her presence attracted a lot of attention, but I knew Vanni would garner even more attention, especially since most of my peers loved to flaunt their men."You mean Vanni isn't coming?" I was very disappointed."I'm sorry, but let's talk after the event. I don't want to keep you waiting." I agreed with her and joined my mates for the ceremony, constantly watching out for Vanni and hoping he would show up to disappoint his mother, but that didn't happen.Foolish of me to have thought all these years that his mother hated me. Turns out she loved me enough to show up."Vanni has been so busy these days, but I will go and help him," I said to her, trying to hide my disappointment a

Giovanni’s POVOctavia appeared more well-behaved than I had anticipated when I arrived at Molly's office. However, it was time to terminate our contract, so I led her to my office.She sat on my desk, and due to my indulgence, I allowed it."Vanni, I was sad you couldn't make it to my graduation, but it's okay. Mom said you were busy, so she came on your behalf," Octavia said.Her words caught me off guard. "My mom was at your graduation?" It was odd, considering my mom's initial dislike for Octavia. What was she playing at?"Yes, and she used to call to check on me. She's quite nice, and I don't think she has any issues with us," Octavia said innocently, but I couldn't help but scoff.If that woman was getting close to her, there was something fishy going on, or Octavia was hiding something from me."Octavia, you've graduated, and I have a job lined up for you, but our contract can't continue," I informed her. I couldn't keep up this facade with Molly back in my life, no matter how

Molly’s POVThe past two weeks have been hectic for me, juggling between training, taking care of Roger, work, and recordings. I couldn’t complain because this was what I wanted, feeling myself getting smarter as I tried to find solutions to complex matters.This was the time I needed Gianni to be softer, but he seemed even harder than before, surpassing Hank.Something was bothering him, but he refused to share. However, his behavior didn't affect me much due to the overwhelming tasks I had on my plate.I needed to acquire the skills to manage my company independently if it was successfully taken from Wesley, so I couldn't afford to skip going to the office for the recordings. I had to find a way to balance it all.Taking care of Roger gave me a sense of accomplishment. We often worked out together as a family before leaving the house, and despite everything, I made sure to pick him up from school with Jace and sometimes Zak.Occasionally, Gianni would join us, but most of the time,

Giovanni’s POVAll I wanted was to make Molly happy, so when she requested it, I got in the mood, despite not remembering the last time I danced.Our movements were in sync, and I let her drink as much as she wanted.Her laughter and excitement were magical and contagious, and I didn’t want the moment to end. Suddenly, I couldn’t find Nora.Since Nora was here because of Molly, I felt responsible for her, especially since it was her day off. The disco lights made it difficult to locate her, and Molly was already drunk, so I couldn’t leave her alone.“Molly, we need to find Nora,” I said, trying to get her attention. “Did something happen to her? Where is she?” Molly asked, but I kept scanning the room.“I don’t know, but let’s look around,” I suggested, guiding Molly as we searched for Nora.It was almost futile when she wasn’t answering her calls, and I was about to ask the manager to check the CCTV when I spotted a man carrying a woman in his arms.The black dress the woman was wear

Nora’s POVIt felt like a dream seeing Molly again, and I couldn't help but wonder what Don Gio had done to make her look so radiant. She exuded beauty and joy, but the most remarkable change was her newfound confidence and ability to stand up to bullies.It was evident that Molly's transformation was a result of Don Gio's influence, and when he arrived, everything became clear. Despite rumors of his stoic demeanor, Don Gio was beaming with joy, showering Molly with attention and cracking jokes.Witnessing Molly's happiness and Don Gio's rare display of affection put my concerns about his family at ease. It was a reminder that love, even if fleeting, is worth experiencing.However, the confession that followed shattered the moment. Learning that Molly's sister was responsible for their parents' deaths and Molly's ordeal was heartbreaking.It was a cruel twist of fate that left me feeling sorrowful for their family. For an accident to claim someone like Kiara would be too merciful. If

Giovanni’s POVAfter watching the video of Molly confronting Wesley's siblings, I was initially entertained, but as soon as Wesley appeared, I rushed to the scene.Wesley was being resuscitated by unfamiliar individuals, and I soon realized that Molly could be intimidating. It was evident that she had Kiara right where she wanted her, and the fear in Kiara's eyes was palpable."Are you suggesting that I drugged you, Molly?" Kiara nervously inquired. I knew I had to record everything for Molly's benefit, so I began recording.This evidence would be crucial in vindicating Molly. Molly remained silent in response to Kiara's question, but the mere mention of the butcher's name sent Kiara into a panic."Please, Molly, can you put down the knife?" Kiara pleaded as Molly neared the completion of slicing the remaining desserts."I'm just practicing how to slice you like this if you ever lie to me again," Molly calmly retorted, her expression defiant.She was truly terrifying when she spoke an

Kiara’s POVLast night, Wesley assured me that he was going to permanently defeat Molly, but he returned unsuccessful, suggesting that the don he collaborated with might have been killed by Don Gio because of Molly.This didn't concern me much as I suspected he was having an affair with his secretary. During my last visit to his office, I noticed he had delegated a lot of responsibilities to his secretary, despite her recent employment.When I expressed my concerns to him, he tried to make it up to me by bringing me here. However, when we were about to leave, his supposed brother and sister insisted on joining us.Since we had left Wade with our nanny for this outing, I suggested his brother and sister go shopping and meet us for dinner later.To my surprise, Molly intervened and prevented Bertha and Radley from joining us.Wesley had not mentioned our wedding plans since then, which was another topic I wanted to discuss. Just as I hoped Wesley would stand up to Molly, we received new

Molly’s POVAll the memories of the past two years with Wesley's family flooded back, igniting my anger.They had insulted and humiliated me, showing no respect despite my seniority.Today, I was determined to make them pay for their actions. In the past, Gianni had always intervened, but this time, I wanted them to understand the consequences of crossing me.Radley's face twisted in fury as he glared at me. "You ungrateful..." I cut him off mid-sentence with a swift kick to his jaw, bringing myself down to his level."What did you just call me?" His words faltered as a mix of shock and fear crossed his face.Meanwhile, the sister was already on the phone with her brother. "Wesley, Molly has lost it and is attacking Radley.""You're lying. Your brother provoked her and got what he deserved," Nora spoke up in my defense. The look of astonishment in her eyes as she gazed at me revealed that she had many questions.However, I wanted to confront the tramp before the foolish Wesley arrived
