I was so excited when I discovered I was finally pregnant after all these years but that happiness came crumbling down as I discovered my sister was also pregnant. And my husband was responsible. He didn’t even feel an ounce of remorse and readily, he asked for a divorce so he could settle with my sister. My adopted family also gave them their full support. No one cared about my feelings and I knew it was needless to reveal my pregnancy. I had to leave the city to start a new life. But little did I know, my life would flip around overnight. In the flash of a day, I became a World-class billionaire heiress and I wasn’t going to let my ex-husband go scot free for the pain he had cost me in the past.

I do not have an appointment with him, but if I give her a negative response, she would tell me to go back and set an appointment first. I know how this works. Well, if I give her a positive response and she decides to call him to confirm, there is absolutely no way that Alex wouldn't tell her to let me in.“Yes, I do,” I answered without batting an eye. “Ok, use the elevator to move to the tenth floor; it should be easy to locate his office once you get there. Just move to the one straight ahead,” she described, making gestures with her hand.“Thank you,” I made my way to the elevator. There were two elevators I saw when I got there. One of them has the executive tag on it, but the other one has the visitors and other staff members tag on it.I used the latter one.Thank
Davina. The welcome party my parents organized for me was a really grand one that even found its way to the internet. Videos were taken. I appeared in all the videos I found on the internet, but I could bet that most of the people that were watching the video couldn't tell that I was the exact one that was being celebrated.I stayed in bed for a while, and it would have stayed that way, if not for something that I had in mind. Which was to pay Alexander a visit and thank him specially for reconciling me with my parents. I rose from the bed to take my bath, and after I was done, I made my way down the stairs. “Good morning, Miss Statsha, I was just about to come call you from your room,” Charlotte, the maid that had led me in yesterday, said to me at the bottom of the stairs, where we almost collided with each other. “Good morning. Call me?” I asked; a questioning expression made its way to my face. “Yes, Mrs. Charez wanted to have breakfast today with you,” she answered. “Oh, t
Sitting opposite his dad, who was the CEO of a well-known company also, Alexander let out a sigh. The atmosphere of the office was quite intense. Although they don't have as much influence and popularity as the Charez empire, they are still a well-known company and not one to be toyed with.“So, the Charez’s girl is back?” Alexander's dad asked, despite knowing the answer to his question himself. Alexander answered nevertheless, “Yes, she is.” “And I heard you are the one that brought her back to her family after meeting with her randomly in one of your hotels,” the older version of Alexander pointed out.Anyone who saw Alexander and his father outside would see the obvious resemblance shared by the two of them. The only difference was that Alexander's dad had an older look, while Alexander still had his peak appearance. “Yes,” Alexander replied to him. His father, who had been sitting with his back facing him, turned the swivel chair he was seated on around slowly till he was f
Davina.This time I heard the sound of his footsteps approaching me before he even said a thing. Maybe that was because he had no intention of being silent at all, because I am pretty sure that if he had tiptoed towards me, I wouldn't have been able to tell that he was close. Only a little of my attention was directed towards the side he was obviously going to come out from; I had been too focused on the beautiful night sky, the garden, and also the change my life will take now. It is obviously going to be a bigger change. “Don't expect anything much from me, though; I had a hard time trying to get this one,” he said and stretched my glass, which was now filled to me. I couldn't see what he held in his left hand; I could only see the bottle of wine he held in his right hand. “Ok, I am not expecting much; be rest assured, and just show me what you got for me before curiosity becomes the end of me,” I urged with a slightly impatient tone. Maybe not slightly at all, I guess. He s
Davina. Just like Alex had said, my parents really went all out in the welcome-back party they hosted for me. Both faces that felt vaguely familiar and the ones that I couldn't recall ever seeing before in my whole entire life filled the party. I couldn't help but think that some of them that visited only came because they had something else in mind other than to visit me to welcome me back.It was quite obvious; I am not a newcomer in this world, which is quite contradictory to what most of them would think. I know how it rolls in the business world.One of the reasons why people act all kind is because they need something or just want to be on the good side of whoever it is they are acting kind to. I had been on the sidelines and watched people act that way to my stepsister, all because of what they wanted to gain from her, so it wasn't hard to notice it when it was being done to me. The party lasted for a long while; after almost everyone had departed from our house, I moved u
Davina“You will know everything you need to know once you get inside,” Those were the exact words my mum had said to me when I had asked her what was going on.Coming close to the house, I couldn't hear a single thing, but it was quite obvious that there were a lot of people in this place; the cars parked outside were proof enough of that. It wasn't just any type of car that was parked outside. Well, that was to be expected; the friends of the Charez family would definitely have to be people who are so rich also. Rich enough to afford any car they feel like affording without breaking a sweat. Just as I was about to press the doorbell, my mom held my hands. “There is no need for that, just knock,” she said to me and let go of my hands, which was quite a suspicious act. Why shouldn't I use the doorbell? I didn't even give it much of a thought, even though it was quite obvious that something was bound to happen, judging from the way my mum was.“Tell me what's going to happen onc
Davina After successfully dragging me to go shopping for myself along with the card that arrived not long after my dad went out. My mother, Rose Charez, was grinning from ear to ear on our way back. “You know, as much as I would have loved for the shopping to be just between both of us, I had no other choice than to drag the driver with us,” she said, breaking the one-second silence between the both of us. I moved my gaze from her to stare at the driver and returned the gaze to her after a couple of seconds. “What do you mean you had no other choice? Can't you drive?” I questioned and tilted my head slightly to the side with a teasing smile. “It's not that I can't drive,” she replied and relaxed her back. “Then what's wrong?” I questioned, out of curiosity, my brows furrowed, coming closer to each other. She exhaled slowly first and closed her eyes for a while. It felt like she was contemplating whether to tell me or not. “After you went missing, I was so devastated and broke
Alexander sat in the office that belonged to him in the headquarters of his family’s empire, completely lost in thought.He rose to his feet and slipped his hands into his pockets, moving to and fro, trying to come up with an answer to what troubled him. He had never been this troubled before in his entire life. No, it wasn't like he was really troubled… It was just that there was something on his mind that he had been trying hard to get the perfect solution to since the Charez family informed him of the event they were planning to hold at night. A knock landed on his door, but Alexander was too lost in thoughts to even notice that someone was knocking.The knock turned into a couple more. Seeing that there wasn't any response from Alexander, who was obviously in the office, the person who was knocking pushed the door to see whether it would budge. Surprisingly, the door pushed open, and the person knocking staggered inside, obviously shocked that the door was open all the while
Davina “Come sit with us, Stasha,” my mother said and broke the hug after what had seemed like an eternity. I followed her and occupied one of the empty chairs.Stasha. That is a name I am not sure I am used to being called any longer. How many years has it been since I last heard that name? Around two decades ago. My father cleared his throat to get my attention. “First of all, let me start with, I am so sorry for not believing you when Alex brought you to me,” he said with an apologetic tone. “There is no reason for you to apologize; you already have a valid enough reason for that. It isn't a bad thing to be that cautious,” I replied to him. “It isn't valid enough; let him apologize,” my mother replied to me, slight anger underlying in her tone. Of course, the anger wasn't directed to me, but to who her gaze was locked on, which was her husband, my dad. “I am not pissed, so there is no reason to apologize… Mum,” The hesitancy before addressing her as my mum was obvious. E
Davina pov Sitting in the restaurant with my family and my husband's family, I couldn't help but notice one person who had made it her life's mission to make my existence miserable—Courtney, my sister.Courtney had finished her education and had now returned.My husband, Sebastian, and my sister were eating and laughing, discussing things as if it were their first date, while I sat there, feeling like a third wheel—even though it was supposed to be a family dinner. I sat across the table, watching the scene unfold as I gently rubbed my small belly, which held the unborn child I had recently discovered I was carrying. This was supposed to be a family gathering, but as usual, I felt like an outsider. None of them even noticed that I wasn't eating, as they were all too busy listening to whatever it was Courtney was saying to my husband. I watched Sebastian gaze at Courtney with so much longing as she passed him the salad bowl. His first love had returned, and I was left...
