Business Deal With The Hot CEO Chapter 147
Elizabeth had been trying to get on Jackson’s good side. She can’t even believe that he wants to divorce her.She had begun to realize her mistake but no matter what she did, her husband’s mind was made up.“Honey, you can’t leave me like this. Not when I am passing through all these. Please you can’t leave me. You can’t.”One minute she talked like she was entitled, the other minute, it seemed she was pleading with him.In all, Jackson’s mind was made up.“When I divorced My first wife, didn’t you know she was sick? Wasn’t she dying? Her daughter had no one to run to.”“But despite all that, I told her I wasn’t interested. Why do you think yours would be different, woman?”“Since you came into my life, it’s been from one problem to another. Look what our daughter turned into.”“Please, please, I will change, don’t do this.” Elizabeth continued pleading but her husband’s mind was made up.One thing about men was that, whenever they made up their minds on something, there was no going b

“Let’s start with a thousand dollars,” Elizabeth replied and Annie kept smirking.“What a cheap thing!” Annie muttered to herself before agreeing to give her the money.In Elizabeth’s thinking, she needed to start with little amounts, then over time, she would proceed to call large sums for her.To Annie, Elizabeth was not even smart enough to ask for a reasonable sum, before she would be able to ask for the second payment, it would be very late by then.“Just send me your details,” Annie sounded off and that was how the call ended.Only a fool uses her daughter’s misfortune to threaten others. Annie, without wasting time, sent the money to Elizabeth.She needed something for a start so she decided to take care of little things, if every other thing kept her sad. At least, this would keep her happy. After Clara was chased out of the Peters family, she was so devastated and broken.She could recall Alex telling her that he didn’t trust all these charades that his parents were displayin

When Clara was walking away from Alex, she hoped that he would stop her. She wished that he would run over and tell her, Sweet, it’s all a joke.She was walking fast and slow at the same thing. Fast enough to leave his sight, slow enough to hear when he called.But nothing of that nature happened, Clara began to feel her heart was shattering.Since her birthday, she hadn’t communicated with Sophia. Her work contract was not over and she barely had time to speak on the phone.She doesn’t have anybody to run to? Not her family, not friends.Then she remembered someone, and as she packed, she thought of where to go.There was no need for packing all that Alex got for her after all, she wouldn’t be needing them anymore.So she only took a few basic things that she would need, she had made up her mind to forget Alex and stop daydreaming he would forgive her, at least because she was pregnant.He even referred to the baby as a thing. The maids gathered at the window looking at her.Some were

While she was all agitated about all that had happened, Clara could see Joe stepping forward with all smiles on his face.“I got you chocolate to put you in a lighter mood.” He said with a warm smile.“Thanks again,” Clara reacted.As she bit the chocolate, it wasn’t making her mood lighter, it only reminded her of the past and she felt like she was going crazy.She didn’t even know when tears began to drop from her eyes.“Clara, are you crying?”“No, not at all. I think the wind blew some dust into my eyes.” She lied, offering him a fake smile.Even though Joe did not believe her, he didn’t say anything anymore. Soon they arrived at his house. He stayed in a two-bedroom leased apartment which wasn’t bad at all.It was well-furnished and had lots of interior decoration in it. He used lots of wall paintings and art designs and his house was almost made of only two colors.Black and white.Clara couldn’t help but admire the interior. Joe wasn’t as rich as Alex and Henry, but he was okay

Elizabeth had exhausted the money that she had extorted from Annie.It was time to call her again and collect more money from her.On the other hand, Annie had ordered people to always follow Elizabeth. Whenever they get any chance, she should be kidnapped and locked up.“Hello, Miss.” One of the men greeted. “The woman is always vigilant and at this point, there is nothing we can do.”“What do you mean by always being vigilant? Why can’t you deliver this job effectively?”Annie roared.She had been acting like a mentally deranged person all of a sudden. And she knows is one because nothing has been working well for her.“Ms, this is to prevent mistakes. Remember that once a mistake is made, it can’t be reversed.”“Whatever.” Annie roared again. While they were still talking, she disconnected the call.Mr. Roberts had presented the divorce papers to Elizabeth and just as agreed, she didn’t have any option but to sign it.After all, what was there to lose? She had already lost everything

Jane looked at Alex's eyes as he continued to hide his expression.“Can you deny it? Can you say it’s a lie? Alex, the wife you love so much has cheated on you. You see, When I always told you, you defended her.”“She was not aware that you have an illness and you are infertile.”“Alex, you see. I am the only person who can stay with you. I know you Mr darkest Secret, I know you can’t get a woman pregnant, but I still want to stay with you.” Jane lied.Alex wasn’t holding it anymore. He loved Clara so much, maybe, if he had told her the truth, she would not have gone to cheat knowing he would find out.It was because she was not aware of his condition, and that’s why she still lied to his face. He loves her, but he still loves himself. And he can’t be with someone who betrayed him that much and is carrying another man’s child.“It’s enough.” Alex hit the table for Jane to stop talking. “ I would appreciate it if you leave me alone, Jane.” He said.“No Alex, I wouldn’t leave you. I know

In Joe’s mansion, Clara had been trying to leave her best life.Joe practically does everything for her. She doesn’t even know how to appreciate him. He does most of the cooking, and the cleaning, and even does laundry for her at times.Ever since she opened up and shared what happened with her to him, he had been a very good shoulder to rely on.In His words, he would always say “Clara, don’t worry, I’m here for you.” And he was truly always there. In fact, because of him, Clara was beginning to forget memories of Alex a little.It was hard, and she does think about him from time to time, she wouldn’t lie Joe had been a comforter to her.One hot afternoon, Joe left the house as usual. He said he was coming back in the evening.Always alone, Clara decided to have her bathe. but she will barely do that this day.Joe on the other end had been running out of patience for all those things that Clara denied him back then, he would get it from her soonest.So he needed to lie. He knew that s

Joe didn’t leave the door, he kept banging on it. Meanwhile, Clara had been packing her items. She would not even spend a single night here again, it doesn’t matter if she was homeless, she was leaving straight up.While packing, she continued panting in fear, assuring her baby that it was going to be okay.But there was only one problem, how would she leave the house? Like Joe said, it was his house.She could see the force with which the door was shaking. It was glaring that he would devour her if he caught her in this room.This is a typical example of people changing. Clara was going to take an oath that she trusted Joe, but he had just proven to her that no one needs to be trusted.If he didn't leave the door, there was no way she could go, so she began to look around.Since it was the ground floor, she checked to know if she could escape from the windows, but that would be very risky especially because of her unborn baby.Also, there was no way she would escape through the windo

He knows this was too sudden and the only thing he can do is to send a message.Maybe if she received a text from him, it would give a clue of what the call was about.Alex composed a few messages, deeply apologizing and telling Clara how he loves and cares about her.“Clara, your phone has been ringing for a while.” Sophia, who was bothered tried to wake Clara, but this time, she was truly asleep.Sophia made a turn to head back to the living room, but when Clara’s phone rang again.

Alex finally opened up to his mother in front of Jane after much confrontation. She was his mum and there was nothing more to hide.“Why did you hide this from me? I am your mother, Alex. Imagine we did not have someone like Jane. What would have happened to our family’s image?” Mrs. Peters calmly questioned her son.Jane hadn't said a word, she was just so happy that everything was working in her favor. So she continued to act naive.“Mrs. Peters, you don't have to blame Alex, I guess he didn't want you to be hurt.” Jane feigned and Mrs. Peters replied to her.“And what about now? Do you know how hurt I am now?”“I’m sorry, mum. It's okay.” Jane embraced Mrs. Peters and that calmed her down a bit.“Son, your father must not know of this. This should be between the three of us. Annie is out of the way and you have seen how slutty that girl you choose was. You have to marry Jane as soon as possible.”Immediately Mrs. Peters said the last word, Alex looked at his mum and she nodded at h

Mrs. Peters didn't need any driver or escort to follow them around.

Mrs. Peters was prepared for wherever he might be, so they started heading to his office.In the office, the only person Alex practically spoke to was Andrew.

Jane slightly nodded in affirmation. However, when Mrs. Peters asked her what sickness Alex had, she couldn't say a word.There was no way she would tell them that Alex was impotent, what if Alex ended up hating her the more?But Mrs. Peters rather surprised her.

After Mrs Peters recognized it was Jane. She was elated, though she didn’t let that reflect in her voice.Soon, they already planned to meet up. Mrs. Peters invited Jane to come over to the house. It wasn’t her first time, it used to be a typical thing then.“Ok, Mrs. Peters. I will just get prepared right away.” Jane replied.“Expecting you soon,” Mrs. Peters replied before ending the call. It was kind of off the way Jane was at her beck and call, but it was a good thing anyway.Back in those days, Mrs. Peters didn’t hate Jane, but she didn’t love her so much either. If she was to choose between Jane and Annie, she would go for Annie.Maybe because she can be able to control Annie and not Jane. Jane always stood out and tried not to impress them or seek their validation of her relationship with Alex.Although both Jane and Annie ticked the boxes and came from prestigious homes, Annie still displayed a little low self-esteem which made Mrs. Peters like her a lot.The call had disconnec
