CORA

"I would be honored," I said in reply to Olsen.

"In that case, I'll see you first thing tomorrow morning. Goodnight, Cora," he said before hanging up.

I stared at Reign, wondering if he had anything to do with this. I knew he heard our conversation so I just stared at him with a smile.

As though he could read my mind, he shook his head, "No, Cora. I had nothing to do with this. It was all you."

I already felt assured because Reign had given me his word, but hearing Olsen's words was like the icing on the cake. Everyone knew he was one of the best attorneys whose clients always won their cases because of how efficient he was.

How did I get so lucky?

I threw myself into Reign's arms in happiness and we both hugged each other. It dawned on me that I was putting on only a towel.

I gently pulled my body away from Reign's hold but couldn't look away because he was staring at me.

I blushed and lowered my eyes shyly, only to realize that he had gotten a stiffy. I bit my lip as I though

    CORAI got my phone and played a video I had taken the day I went to see Lucas' grandfather. That night, when I had gone to Reign's house and saw Lisa naked, I made up my mind to do whatever it took to cut off Lucas from my life so Reign could see that I was serious about wanting to be with him.On my way to Lucas' grandfather's house, I decided to get some evidence while at it, just in case Lucas decided not to divorce me later.However, I didn't have enough money to purchase what I needed. After much thought, I called my dad.I had earlier been so upset with him that I refused to take his calls after finding out he had also deceived me into marrying Lucas.However, when Reign and I became a couple, I got over my anger. That night, I asked my dad to lend me some money. He was so eager to help because he still felt guilty.He sent me the money I needed and told me not to bother paying it back. I was able to get a small camera and hid it in my body.My entire conversation with Lucas's

    REIGNI was pleasantly surprised when Cora told Olsen that she'd never been very intimate with any man.Although she never said anything about her past relationships except being deceptively made Lucas' wife, I had assumed that she had dated someone in high school or college and probably done the deed.I was even more happy that I was yet to take that step with her. It was a good thing that I decided to wait for her to be disentangled from Lucas before taking our relationship to another level.I could tell that Cora was uncomfortable with discussing this part of her life with Olsen and in front of me, nevertheless, I could not hide the wide smile on my face.I understood what Olsen meant when he said her being a virgin changed everything. Even without any other evidence, it was enough to prove she did not have any relationship with Greg and as such, he could not have been blackmailing her.I was still waiting for the private investigator I had hired to get back to me. He was the most c

    CORAReign's house suddenly felt extremely big, after he left. Just like he instructed, I locked the doors and went into his bedroom.I was still shaken up by the attack from Greg's mom and those outside the court. Once again, I had Reign's love and sharp thinking to thank for it.Emily called me at this time and asked, "Are you okay? Why didn't you tell me that your arraignment was today?"I sighed, "I guess I didn't want you to worry. The public will make you their enemy if they find out you are on my side. Reign is already suffering for it and it makes me so guilty, even though he can handle it.""And you think I can't handle it?" She asked."It's not that you can't. I just don't want you to go through that. I believe I will be acquitted so you can come to the trial. Things would calm down after the trial.""Tell me your address, I want to come and see you." She said."Didn't you hear any of what I just said?" I asked. "Let's leave it until everything is settled.""No," she insiste

  • Billionaire Series; Falling Into You   WHAT AUDACITY!

    REIGNI arrived at my company with anger evident in my eyes because my plan of staying with Cora and making her feel better had been needlessly interrupted.The company's stocks were plummeting but I was still the highest shareholder by eighty percent and I had the perfect plan to make them rise again after Cora's innocence had been proven. I didn't have to deal with things like this at such a time but my assistant had informed me that unpleasant rumors were flying around the company and to make matters worse, they were coming from the board members. What impudence!I went into the company and headed straight for the boardroom. My assistant was waiting outside the room with an anxious expression on his face.His eyes lit up the moment he saw me and he said, "Thank God you're here, sir. The board members are unhappy and Mr. Franklin seems to be the one stirring them and blowing things out of proportion."I nodded, "interesting."I opened the door and went inside while my assistant follo

    REIGNI quickly took the elevator down and got into my car. I opened my phone to view the CCTV which was already connected to my phone and the first place I checked was the panic room.I could see Cora, lying on the floor and I could tell that she wasn't conscious. I didn't know what had happened to her but my heart was racing uncontrollably."Calm down, Reign." I told myself as I tried to calm my nerves because I could not afford to act rashly. Cora was locked inside the panic room and the fact that the men were trying to get inside, meant that they were yet to get what they wanted.In order to save her, I had to take all those men out but I also needed to understand what had happened. I took the video back to the beginning and was shocked to see that while I was driving out of the street that led to my house, those men were driving inside.How could I have made such a mistake? I had been so preoccupied with dealing with the troublemakers at my company that I did not notice those men.

    REIGN Just as I ended the call with my dad, I heard footsteps and quickly turned my attention to Cora's bed. I saw her best friend, Emily, walking slowly towards the bed with tears in her eyes."Cora!" She cried as she sat by Cora's bedside and held her hands. "Are you okay?" I asked her.When she turned and saw me, she quickly got up and said, "Mr. Fletcher. I just woke up now and the doctor told me I could find Cora here. I was also told that you called an ambulance for me and Cora. Thank you so much.What happened to my friend? Did those evil men succeed in getting to her? Why is she unconscious?""You should get enough rest," I told her. "The doctor said you took a big blow to the head and as such there's clotting in your brain. Cora was forced to inhale toxic smoke but she's out of danger now. The doctor said she would be awake in no time so, you don't need to worry.There's also no need to thank me. I will always remember what you did for Cora. She is alive because you risked y

    REIGN As Mrs. Gilbert fell, she stared at me in surprise while I pointed a finger at her and warned, "If you ever try to hit Cora again, I will forget your relationship with her father and chop off your hands."The doctors came inside the room to prepare Cora's father for transfer at this point. I helped Emily up from the ground and said in a voice audible enough for everyone to hear, "Mr. Gilbert will be moved to a higher facility to speed up his recovery. Take good care of him until we see him again, Mrs. Gilbert."She nodded while pretending to have been frightened by me. Meanwhile, I held Cora's hand and took her away from her father's body. She reluctantly followed me and after he was transferred, I asked Emily to go back home, sending two men with her for protection and promising to have her car delivered to her.I decided to take Cora back to my main house as I worried that she would be afraid if we had to live on the outskirts again. All through the drive back home, she was q

She had been following the case involving Cora and it made her remember how someone tried to frame her with illegal drugs when she was young.She felt sorry for her son, who was doing everything possible to support the woman he loved but more than that, she felt sorry for Cora who was accused of a crime she did not commit.She felt like a terrible person each time she recalled how Cora was treated when she first came to her house and when her husband, Zach told her that someone tried to kill Cora, she was shocked to her bones.She was already thinking of a way to help Cora when her son, Reign called and asked her to visit with the family and encourage Cora who was feeling down.Her husband was busy trying to take care of the man who ordered a hit on Cora so she decided not to bother him and called her adopted sister, Paris, and her daughter.They were all happy to help and when they arrived at Reign's house, he disappeared from the living room a

    MIRANDA The expression on the faces of everyone turned into shock. Seeing that I looked serious, the lady at the counter said, "Calm down, Ma'am. I will call Mr. Duke right away and inform him."At this point, a man walked up to the counter. From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm

    MIRANDA My so called husband stared at me in shock and scoffed, "What effrontery!""Sammy, what are you still doing? Throw this piece of trash out of my house before I lose it."I rolled my eyes, "As if I want to be here! You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man. Pick on someone your own size and news flash, I would be more than happy to leave this place."A few other domestic staff had arrived at this point and they were all staring in surprise. The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone. When he got close to me, the girl in front refused to budge. The man stared at her in surprise and it made me wonder who she was."Who the

    MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T

    MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou

    MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa

    ADAMAfter Lisa left, life felt boring. Reading her letter had been extremely excruciating, especially because I knew that my Granny had gotten to her.I couldn't even get upset with my Granny. I loved her too much, and I knew that she did what she did because she felt it was best for the family.I so badly wanted to talk to Lisa, to hear her voice even once, but I had to respect her wishes. It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad. At some point, I wondered if he genuinely loved Lisa, or if he was just upset that he did not have something to use against me anymore.Thanks to our Granny, we were forced to eat breakfast, lunch, and even dinner together. Each time we tried to miss anyone, she would suddenly become sick and create a scene. We knew her health wasn't too good, so we had to play along.

I thought I knew him. Even in the short time I met him, I didn't think he could be so selfish. I was so disappointed in him. But I was very happy, too, that Adam was not willing to give me up.For a moment there, I had been scared. As I listened to their conversation, I had thought that Adam would give in to his Granny's request, but he stood his ground. It meant he really loved me. His Granny soon arrived, and I smiled at her.She sat beside me and said, "Lisa, to be very honest, I have nothing against you.
