After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge   CHANGE IN A SECOND
NOLANCan your whole life change in a second?Yes, it can.When you get your dream job, when you propose to your long-term girlfriend, when you quit that job or move to that new country, it can all change your life.But for me, it changed when I realized I was a father, not just a father to a child but to children.Alanna walks in, slamming the door to my face and I am not sure how I want to feel about what I had just found out, I am a dad.I have two lovely children who grew up not knowing I existed. My mind is a whirlwind of emotion, I didn't leave her house. I wanted to, I did, but I came back the next day. That was when I saw her, dressed all fancy and probably going out for a date. I didn't want to stalk her, I didn't mean to, but I couldn't help myself.âYou always know how to keep a level head Nolan and act on logic,â this had been one testament I had constantly got about myself, my ability to think rationally and not act on impulse but, I was losing it. Alanna is driv

ALANNAâI am going to kill Nolan,â I swore out loud, âI am going to kill him and feed his bones to wolves to feed on, what the actual fuckâI hate Nolan!I am going to kill Nolan!This time I mean it, I am going to kill him. I was already out of my bed, I thought I could just have a relaxing day, alone but it was clear the devilâs advocate Nolan wasn't going to let that happen.âAlanna, calm down,â Angela pleaded and I sneered at her, casting a glare at her.âHow dare you ask me to calm down,â I tossed the paper to her. âHe is taking me to court over custody of my children,ââIt says here that it is the Westbrook, doesn't say Nolan,âWhy the fuck is she in the habit of defending Nolan?âAre you crazy? how many Westbrooks do we know that would take me to court for custody, and it just happened that as soon as Nolan finds out he is the father, my ass is being dragged to court,ââI am sure he is just doing this because you refuse him the right to see the kids,âI scowled at her, âWhich

BRADI am going to kill him, kill him, and feed his bones to the dogs. âHow did he know, was he stalking her?â Chloe asked as she placed the ice on my cheek. âOuch, be careful with that,â I grumbled, gripping her hands to stop her from inflicting more pain on me.âI am not the one who asked you to go get into a fight with Nolan, Nolan of all people, Nolan who spends all his spare time working out, are you crazy? Or do you have some kind of death wish?ââI didn't know he was that powerful, I managed to get a few punches on him,ââBut clearly you were on the receiving end of the beating,â she teased with a smirk on her face.I rolled my eyes, âLaugh all you want, this just shows that your beloved husband is actively stalking Alanna,â I retorted and she pressed the bag of eyes gently on my black eyes. â Were you able to drug her before he showed up?â she asked and I frowned.âShe had gone to the bathroom and that was the perfect opportunity for me, so I put in some dose into her wine
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge   OVER MY DEAD BODY
ALANNAI hate Nolan Westbrook. I know I have said this a lot, but this time. I meant it with every fiber of my being, with every breath in me.âWhy would he endanger my children like this?â I had asked Angela on the call.âI don't know, he should know better that this media life shouldn't be for kids,â she had responded in a low tone, all her Nolanâs defense seemed to have gone down the drain. That is the thing with Nolan Westbrook.He will disappoint you. I had to leave my gracious date with the Vogue Lady and here I was driving to the Westbrook Mansion to give Nolan a piece of my mind.He messed with the wrong person, as I scrolled through the article, I saw a lot of nasty things it painted me out to be.âShe prioritizes her Job over her Children,â one of the articles highlighted calling me a workaholic mum whose child is being raised by Nannies.I hated Nolan for putting my kids out there like that. I had tried my best to keep my kids out of the media because I wanted them to

NOLANCan't she see it? Can't she see I burn for her? How can I ever do anything to hurt her when all I want to do is be the man she wants and love her in a way I didn't when I was married to her?She sees the worst in me, she pokes me till she brings out the worst in me.She has become the bane of my existence. Standing close to her, her body pressed against mine, all I can do is to desire every bit of her. I desire her body, I want to feed on her right up to the depth of her soul.Yes, I am sold to Alanna.âYou can't stop me from seeing my kids, Alanna. They deserve to know their father,â I was practically pleading at this point. I didn't want to go to war with Alanna. That wasn't what I wanted. She placed her hands in between my chest and her body and pushed hard. I could have held on tighter but I didn't want to. âI can do what the fuck I want, stay away from me and my children,â she didn't wait for me to respond, she stormed out of the office, slamming the door beside her.I

NOLANMy motherâs voice lingered all through the rest of the weekend. It was the voice that kept me awake all through last night and the one I thought of when I drove early to the office because I received the email from the board.âYou are going to lose everything if you decide to divorce Chloe,â that word echoed, it is one thing to lose half but to lose everything? That is a whole different ball game. I had to talk to Jake, he had acted severally as my legal counsel. Although Jake and I had a business partnership together, he was a Havard law graduate and had stood as my legal counsel severally. From filing for divorce to the custody battle, there would be a lot I would need counseling for. But one at a time. I stepped out of the elevator as the staff already present greeted me, I responded with a casual head raise, my mind was occupied, after the stunt I had pulled last week by canceling the Launch without their consent, I expected this form of backlash. Actions have conseque

NOLANThe smile on my face broadens, one would think I am a mad man, I am on the verge of losing my position as the CEO but here I am beaming with a huge smile on my face. âWhy are you grinning, Nolan, are you that delusional to think the board won't remove you as the CEO?â Jake asked with a puzzled look on his face. He had come over after the meeting to my office, he was seated on the couch opposite me. There was a lot of thought that must be running through my mind.âI don't think I am above the board if they can remove my father who founded the fucking empire, then who am I?â I responded with a grin still on my face. âThen why the fuck are you this happy or have you lost your mind Nolan?â he asked, his voice laced with concern. âI haven't, I just don't give a fuck, the only person that I give a fuck about, I just discovered today also gives a fuck about me,â I responded in a happy tone, my eyes still glimmering in happiness. âLet me guess, Alanna?â he rolled his eyes. âAre yo

ALANNAIs Nolan crazy? Or is this one of his schemes to get me to think he is on my side?But why?First, he takes my ass to fight for custody, then he shifts the launch for me. Then he asks Chloe for a divorce and shows up on my date to fight with Brad. Now is about to lose his position as CEO for me.Talk about mixed signals.âAlanna, Alanna, wait up,â I heard a familiar voice call my name, I did not have to look to know who it was that was calling me. Brad.âHi Brad,â I greeted, slowing down my pace as I stride towards my office. âDo you have a moment?â he asked as he caught up with me, I paused and veered to face him, he had a slight grin on. I could almost swear that he was happy with the outcome of the meeting. Well, why shouldn't he be? He and Nolan had always had the worst relationship and he had always thought that Nolan didn't deserve to be CEO, I wouldn't blame him though because he works just as hard as Nolan.âWhat's up,â I asked. âI just wanted to talk to you as a fr

ALANNAStanding at the back of the church, the soft melody of the wedding march echoing through the air. Who would have thought that after everythingâafter all the pain, the heartbreak, and the betrayalâI would find myself here, about to marry Nolan Westbrook, the man I once believed was the source of all my suffering? Life has a strange way of leading you exactly where you need to be, even when you fight it every step of the way.Pedro, my rock, my father in every way that mattered, stood beside me. He looked at me with pride, his eyes shining with unshed tears. "You ready, Dear?" His voice was steady, but I could hear the emotion behind it.I nodded, feeling my heart swell with gratitude. This was the man who had taken me in, loved me unconditionally, and gave me the family I had always longed for. And now, he was about to walk me down the aisle to start a new chapter of my life.As we began to move forward, the sight before me took my breath away. The church was filled with the peop
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge   CLOSURE
NOLAN"Closure doesn't come from forgetting the past but from facing it head-on."The wind blew softly as we stood at Chloe's grave, the air filled with the scent of freshly turned earth and the distant hum of the city. It had taken us a long time to get here, to stand at this place with a sense of peace instead of anger or regret. I looked down at the headstone, its cold surface a stark reminder of all that had happened, all that we had lost and gained.In my arms, little Chloe stirred, her tiny hands grasping at the air. She was so innocent, unaware of the twisted history that brought her into this world. But that was how it would stay. Alanna and I had promised each other that this child, this beautiful little girl, would never know the darkness that shadowed her birth. She would be loved, cherished, and protected from the truth that could shatter her world.Alanna knelt beside the grave, placing a single white rose on the headstone. Her voice was soft, but there was strength in it

ALANNAWhen Lucas stepped out of the shadows, gun in hand, my heart clenched with a fear I hadnât felt in years. The happiness of moments beforeâNolanâs proposal, the promises of a future togetherâseemed to shatter like glass around us. All I could see was Lucas, his face twisted with rage and pain, his eyes filled with a darkness that sent chills down my spine.It was as if everything weâd gone through, every battle weâd fought, was leading up to this moment. But instead of feeling strong, I felt vulnerable, exposed. Lucas was no longer the boy I once knew. He was a man consumed by hatred, and that hatred was directed at me.âYou came into my life and took everything,â Lucas snarled, his voice trembling with barely suppressed anger. âYou took my family, you took the only love I had ever known, and now youâve ruined everything!âI tried to find the right words, something that could reach him, something that could make him see reason. But nothing came. All I could do was stand there, f

ALANNA"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."Shopping with Angela was just the distraction I needed. The weight of everythingâNolanâs court case, the uncertainty of our futureâhad been pressing down on me like a storm cloud. But here, in the brightly lit aisles, surrounded by the scent of fresh clothes and the chatter of happy customers, I felt lighter. Angela had a way of making even the most mundane tasks feel like an adventure.We wandered through racks of dresses, holding up options and debating the merits of each one. Angela was in the middle of showing me a deep red dress when she suddenly paused, a small smile playing on her lips.âJake asked me to move in with him.âThe words hung in the air between us, and I felt a surge of happiness for her. âHe did? Thatâs amazing, Angela! How do you feel about it?âAngela looked thoughtful, her fingers brushing the fabric of the dress she was holding. âI donât know. I mean, I love him, and I can see a future with him.
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge   Justice
Nolan"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."The courthouse loomed before me, a symbol of the justice Iâd been seeking ever since that fateful day. The memories of what Brad had doneâof what heâd put my family throughâplayed on a loop in my mind. There was no forgetting the fear in Alannaâs eyes, the sound of the gunshot, the moment when everything nearly ended for us. Today was about more than just a verdict; it was about setting things right, about reclaiming the peace that Brad had stolen from us.As I sat in the courtroom, the weight of the moment settled heavily on my shoulders. This wasnât just about me. It was about Alanna, about our children, about the future weâd almost lost. I glanced over at Alanna, who was seated beside me. Her hand rested in mine, her grip tight and unyielding. We had come this far together, and we were going to see it through to the end.Mr. Collins, my lawyer, stood and approached the stand where I was seated. He was calm, composed, the

ALANNAâFamily isn't just about blood; it's about who stands by you when the world falls apart."As we walked into the restaurant, the warm glow of the lights and the soft hum of conversation made me feel at ease. This place, with its cozy ambiance and inviting atmosphere, was perfect for the first dinner weâd have together as a familyâone that finally felt whole. I glanced around at everyone, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. It had been a whirlwind of emotions since discovering the truth about my past, and now, here we were, trying to create something new from the ashes of what once was.Nolan squeezed my hand gently as we approached our table. He could sense my nerves and, as always, knew exactly what I neededâa reminder that I wasnât alone in this. The kids ran ahead, excited to see the menu and all the possibilities it promised. Mrs. Westbrook, who had become such a steady presence in our lives, followed behind them, her eyes twinkling with affection as she watched
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge   THE TRUTH
ALANNAALANNA*"The truth is like a slow-burning fuseâinevitable and explosive, lighting up the darkest corners of our past."*The air in the room felt heavy, laden with the weight of all the secrets that had been suffocating us for years. Chloe's father sat across from me, his eyes tired and red, as if he had been wrestling with his conscience for a long time. I knew this conversation would change everything, yet I wasnât prepared for what was coming.For so long, I had lived under the shadow of a truth I didnât fully understand. I knew that the people I had called my parents werenât truly mine, but beyond that, there was only darknessâa void that left me feeling lost and incomplete. Today, it seemed, that void was about to be filled.He took a deep breath, as if trying to steady himself for what he was about to reveal. "Alanna, I owe you the truth, even though it's a truth I've buried for far too long. You see, your real parentsâthey werenât who you thought they were."I nodded, my

ALANNAâSome truths are too heavy to bear, but they must be carried nonetheless.âThe phone rang late in the evening. Nolan and I were curled up on the couch, enjoying a rare moment of peace. When he saw Chloeâs name flash across the screen, he hesitated, the tension immediately creeping back into his shoulders. He glanced at me, his brows furrowed in concern.âIâll answer,â I offered, knowing that whatever she had to say would weigh on him. He handed me the phone, relief mingled with worry in his eyes.âHello?â I tried to keep my voice steady, but my mind raced with possibilities. Why was she calling now?âAlanna,â Chloeâs voice was weak, almost unrecognizable. There was an urgency in her tone that sent a chill down my spine. âIâm at the hospital. I need you and Nolan to come⊠please, itâs important.âBefore I could respond, she hung up. I stared at the phone, my mind reeling.âWhat did she say?â Nolanâs voice broke through my thoughts.âSheâs at the hospital. She wants us to come⊠N

NOLANI don't want this night to end," I murmured, my lips brushing against her ear. The words hung in the air, heavy with meaning and longing. I looked into Alanna's deep blue eyes, and I knew she felt the same way."Then let's not let it end," Alanna whispered back, her fingers trailing down my chest, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. The touch of her hands on my skin sent a shiver of anticipation running through me. I couldn't resist her any longer. I swept her off her feet, carrying her up the stairs to our bedroom, where we could forget about the rest of the world and just be with each other.I couldn't help but think about how far we had come. It wasn't just about the physical connection, though that was incredible. It was about the way she looked at me, the way she touched me, the way she made me feel. I knew that I had found something special with Alanna, something that I never wanted to let go of.I kissed her deeply, my tongue exploring her mouth as our bodies pressed t
