CEO'S EX-WIFE RETURNS AS BILLIONAIRE MOMMY Chapter- [ 61 ]
[ Charlotte ]"It wasn't necessary, Mr. Blackwood. Trust me, I'm not offended by last night's incident." Benjamin waved his hand in the air as we seated around a table in a seaside restaurant to have our dinner.I invited Benjamin over phone to meet us and he made it on time."You can call me Sebestian. I don't like formalities on the table, especially when we're not business partners or enemies." Sebestian smiled as he sliced his fish and put the bite in his mouth."Or we can do business..."I spoke catching both men's attention on me."I don't get you, Charlie?" Benjamin frowned while Sebestian sucked his breath. Benjamin calling me by my new nickname still bothered him."Sebestian owns one of the biggest construction company in the States and we're planning to expand ourselves out of our borders." I started speaking. I didn't share my plans with Sebestian either. I knew he'd resist and let his manly ego create a hurdle for me.I was doing it for him and for the survival of our marri

[ Sebestian ]"What was her name?" I couldn't help but ask him because his revelation cleared the picture in my mind.If he was in New York City, then I'd had seen him. My sixth sense was continuously nudging me. He indeed looked very familiar."Sebestian, do you know every girl in the big city?" Charlotte rolled her eyes."Nope, I don't but I asked out of curiosity." I quickly covered up for my impulsive interrogation."Her name was Selene. We met in a nightclub and immediately hit it off. She was rich yet down to earth, elegant and most importantly she had a brilliant brain. Her aim was to take over her father's business one day. Those two years were the greatest days of my life. I wish I shouldn't invite her to spend summer holidays in Greece then she was with me, alive and happy." Benjamin smiled sadly."I am sorry, Benjamin. I didn't intend to scratch your wounds. I know how it feels when you lose a loved one." I regretted asking him about his girlfriend."We never found her body

[ Charlotte ]Our days in Greece ended like a fairytale stories. Time flew before we realized as we spent every moment with each other, knowing ourselves better and cementing our trust.Sebestian proved me wrong everytime I tried to weigh his accountability and gave me more reasons to give him another chance."I don't want to leave. I am loving this, away from our problems and work." He whispered in my ear as his arm raked around my waist from behind.I smiled on his words."But it is the life, Seb. We had our break and we enjoyed it. Now, it's time to live the real life. Our son is waiting for us, our work and our challenges. Remember, we're a team." I tried to cheer up his mood.He buried his face in the crook of my neck and dropped a sloppy kiss on my sweet spot. I arched my back as pleasure rippled through my cells."Sebestian...we have to leave in three hours." I whispered through my ragged breathing as his hands roamed on my bare stomach."We're not using public airline, my dear

[ Charlotte ]"Should we wake him?" Sebestian looked at for permission. Eagerness was evident on his face but he wanted my permission. I missed my son terribly."I have no heart to disturb his sleep." I whispered though I also craved to engulf him in my arms.I glanced down at our sleeping son. It was early dawn when we arrived at Manor. We directly headed to Ace's room. It had been weeks since we last our boy. Merissa brought him back to manor last night on our request because we couldn't visit her house due to security reasons.We might be followed by paparazzi or enemies. She preferred her private and simple life.Ace stirred in his sleep and finally opened his eyes. He scrunched them for few seconds before he jolted up, rubbing his eyes vigorously."Mom, Dad, are you really here?" He asked us in disbelief."Yes, baby. We are here." I said.We sat down beside him and kissed his cheeks. I went overboard and showered his face with more kisses while Sebestian hugged us."I missed you

[ Charlotte ]"You have no idea how happy and surprised I am to see you all here." Mrs. Blackwood said in an exaggerated tone. She tried to sound more happier than she actually was."It was Charlotte's plan, Mom. She wants us to dine together." Sebestian said to his mother. He didn't hesitate to express that he had no desire to visit his parents.Her smile faltered but she quickly masked it by her skilled plastic smile."Oh my dear daughter-in-law. You're so considerate about us and this family." She embraced me. I felt uncomfortable."Shall we sit first, Mom?" Sebestian pulled me close to him. His overprotective behavior caught her off guard."Where is my grandson?" She asked about Ace."He is coming with Leah. They must be in the porch." Sebestian replied to her.Her eyes widened,"Leah is here with you?" She asked to confirm."Merissa and Lucas are also here." I added."What?" She whispered yelled."Mom, when I said that we want us to dine as a family, I meant it and they're a part

[ Charlotte ]The dinner wasn't quite smooth if I had to give it a rating on the scale of ten. There was thick tension on the dinner table but Seth said nothing. He mostly focused on his plate and only responded to Ace and Leah.What was going inside his head? The man couldn't be trusted.Merissa and her mother talked in hushed voices while Lucas sat cautiously. He was feeling out of the place. I knew this feeling. They used to treat me same once.After the dinner, Merissa and her family took their leave while I made an excuse to Sebestian that I had to talk to his mother about Ace's upcoming school's annual day function. Ace was going to participate in a drama and his mother knew some people who could help Ace to prepare.It was partially true though."I'll be with my father. I have to scratch his mood to know what he's planning to do next before I present our idea in front of the board members." Sebestian said to me.I was looking for this opportunity. He'd be busy with his father.

[ Charlotte ]"What did he ask you to do?" I repeated my question with impatience."Charlotte, if you really want to see your family happy and safe then don't dig up the past. It's my advice to you." She said, I could see fear behind her eyes."What do you mean?" I narrowed my eyes at her."Don't ask just follow my advise, Charlotte. You're trying to play with fire. Do you really think it's easy to survive in our world without burying the skeletons in the darkest chamber of past. They'll forever haunt you if you ever try to unleash them and they destroy the future." She said very quietly."I don't give a fuck to the so called ghosts of your family. I am capable of protecting my family from any evil. So, save our time and tell me the truth of my baby. I need to know what happened to my baby." I gave her my final answer.She couldn't scare me."You will regret, Charlotte." She shook her head.I was running thin on my patience with her. Why did she keep avoiding my question?"You have Se

[ Charlotte ]My confrontation with Mrs. Blackwood kept replaying in my mind. I couldn't sit at rest and watch my world being staged by others. I couldn't stop thinking about my daughter. One thing was sure, she was alive. At least what my heart said. It relieved me to some extent but the craving to find her became more intense."Lottie, I see you zoom out a lot nowadays. What's the matter?" Jonathan's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. He gave me a curious look. Should I trust him with this newly found information? I hadn't told Sebestian anything. I was well aware of his anger. He'd directly confront his father and it might decrease the chances of finding our daughter.I'd tell him when I find a solid lead."Charlotte, are you okay?" Jonathan jerked my shoulder gently. "Oh..I am fine. It just the jet lag." I quickly masked my expressions. I wanted to tell him but something inside me was holding me back. Mrs. Blackwood's warning was fresh in my mind. I couldn't drag Jonathan in

[ Arienna Blackwood ]"Don't run, Aria. Mom is tired and she wants a hug from her princess." I shouted and heard soft giggles of my five years old daughter from behind the curtains.A smile stretched over my lips as I spotted her shadow. She was the source of light in my life whom I found during my trip to Mexico and instantly fell in love with two years old orphan who was abandoned by her birth mother at an orphanage.It took me an year of struggle and legal procedure to adopt her officially and bring her to home."Mom got you." I grabbed her and tickled her.The little girl wriggled to get out of my hold while laughing. I showered her pretty face with kisses."Stop Mama, it's ticklish." She pushed my face away."No, Mama wants a cuddle with Aria." I pulled her on my lap and hugged her."I am angry on you, Mama. You promised to come back early but you're two days late." She pouted with grumpy face."I am sorry baby but you know my work. I am the CEO and it's mandatory for me to be

[ Arianna Blackwood ]"Anna.."Rafael's low voice rang into my ears. So, this man can also feel remorse!"Come and sit, Rafael. We need to talk on certain matters." I said in a flat tone."Please, let's just sit together and-" He tried to say something but I showed him my palm."I do not want to spend even a single moment with you, Mr. Martinez but we must clear a few things before we part our ways." I finally shot my blank eyes at him.He looked vulnerable, his eyes were puffy and red. By judging his appearance, I bet he hadn't been resting properly."Please, Arienna. Don't do this. It was my fault. Our baby died because of me." He said in a croaked tone, I observed his adam's apple bobbing up and down."It was my baby. It doesn't give you any right to call it yours just because you fucked me for once." I snapped at him, the bottled up anger and resentment was threatening to spill.He lowered his gaze and shook his head, "Alright, I won't. Please, calm down. We can talk once you get

[ Arianna Blackwood ]It's been four days.Four long days since I lost my baby, the last hope of my future. I am stoll trying to accept this news but my heart denies my loss. My lower body aches every time I move or shift, a constant reminder of my cruel fate.I don't deserve happiness since my birth. Why does God punish me? What did I do to deserve only grief and misfortunes in my life?"Ari, my princess." Dad's soft voice forced me to pull out of my mourning solicitude."Dad."I barely whispered as mu throat was constricted due to crying for hours since doctor broke the devastating news to me. I predicted my loss when I felt the pain during my argument with Rafael but a part of me hoped for a miracle to happen."I have brought your dinner. It's your mother's home cooked recipe, one of your favourite dishes and healthy." He placed a tiffin box on the table.He was trying to cheer me up. That's all my family could do, they stood like a pillar around me. They're my everything and I'd f

[ Rafael ]I have been waiting for two long hours, still no words from the hospital staff how Arienna is doing after miscarriage. Yes, the doctors declared the baby dead as soon as they admitted her and they had to perform emergency surgery to remove the dead fetus.Arienna lost too much blood which caused her to lose her consciousness for a long time.Miscarriage, a simple word with eleven syllables but it has so much pain and shattered hopes within it's depth. It has the power to bring even the bravest heart at the bottom.I lost my child, my first child despite several warnings from the doctors. Yet I let her go through the trauma, not once, not twice but everytime we talked.She's right, I killed our baby. I don't deserve it call it mine because Arienna tried her best to be there for our baby but I was busy hitting my head on the wall of past. I became so mad that her pain got unnoticed by me."How dare you?"A voice roared and I got punched on my face, it was a hard blow. I stumb

[ Arianna Blackwood ]After my conversation with my mother, I found myself drowning into more conflict. I couldn't live with Rafael as long as he keeps harboring hatred and vendetta against my family, on the other hand, I was drawn to my husband.I was screwed and back to square one."Anna, you're back?"Rafael's surprised voice reached into my ears and I turned around to find him standing at the threshold of main door."Yes, I guess. Sorry, if you're disappointed to see me here. Well, I won't take long. I came here to talk on certain matters." I said in a clipped tone.His features softened. He rushed towards me and grabbed my shoulders, "I don't want you to leave, not now not never, Anna. I can't imagine my life without you, my love. Please, forgive me. I am ready to talk to your parents if it makes you feel better." He sounded vulnerable and desperate.I detatched myself from him and looked away."Let's talk, Rafael. I don't want us to live in continuous uncertainties." I said in a

[ Arienna Blackwood ]"Mom, I want a divorce with Rafael. I don't think this marriage would work. I am sorry I didn't think wisely when I decided to marry him." I said to my mother who was calmly sipping her coffee.She didn't look affected by my decision, instead, she poured some in my cup."Please, say something, Mom. Your opinion matters to me the most." I gave her a pleading look."You want my honest opinion?" She finally looked up at me while placing her cup down on the table.I nodded my head in impatience.She pinched the bridge of her nose, "Are you afraid of the boy you once knew, who cared for you a lot or the man who is blind in vengeance. It's your take?" She asked me and I was left shocked."How..how..do you know?" I couldn't find proper words to ask her how did she know everything about Noah."I am your mother, Ari. Of course, I know everything about my children. I wouldn't have let you marry him if I didn't know about your groom. I ran a background check on Rafael and i

[ Rafael Martinez ]"You didn't have to take a stand for me. I can fight my own battles and it wasn't the first time my grandmother bullied me. She has always been like this. I thought you'd of all people would understand her nature." Arienna said curtly over the dining table.I gave her a blank look. She was only playing with the food on the plate."I had to show her that she can't boss around in my house and demean my wife." I replied. I heard suck a deep breath. "I am sorry for the morning. I shouldn't have said those things." I said after a momentary silence.We were back to square one because she didn't respond and resumed eating small portions from her plate."We're inviting your parents tomorrow at the breakfast. I don't want to live this cat and mice life anymore." I said."Don't drag my parents in your dirty games, Rafael. I will deal with them." She said in a flat tone and stood up."Finish your food, Anna. You can't ignore your health." I reminded her and our eyes met for

[ Rafael Martinez ]Arianna's outburst kept replaying in my mind like a record. Her eyes reflected her sedimentated anger and hatred for me and it broke my heart to see those emotions in her eyes. I made her hate me even more and probably ruined my every chances to be with her. She'll not stay quiet and tell her family about my identity and about my parents. "Come on, son. Are you going to say something or sit here like a stone statue. I know something has happened. This red mark on your face is telling a lot." My father said, his eyes were darted on my cheek.I touched the stinging area and looked away. "She's a poison in your life, Noah. Why are you with her? You're successful and young. You will find a thousand women at your disposal if you go for a bride hunt. Just leave her. You will get your child. I trust you." Mom again repeated the same dialog."Mom, please, I'm already frustrated and clueless. Yesterday, Charlotte Blackwood confronted me and it's not wrong either. She hel

[ Arianna Blackwood ] I sipped the ginger tea, enjoying the ghostly silence of the living room. The weather was still bad, the downpour changed into soft drizzle but the sky was grey and gloomy depicting my own mood. I heard footsteps. I recognized them so I sat unbothered and sipped the tea. "Good morning." I heard his grosggy voice. "Good morning," I wished him back curtly but didn't spare him a glance. "A cup of coffee please!" He yelled to his staff and sat across me. I stole a glance at him, he was in a t shirt and trousers. "I am sorry, the last night was unintentional. I never get this much drunk often unless I'm frustrated." He kept talking but I only listened. I remained quiet. "Look, if you're intentionally ignoring me then it won't work, Arianna. We can't go like this." He said in a little frustrated voice. Meanwhile, his coffee was served. "I am not in a mood to talk. I hope you understand." I said without looking up. "Alright, take your time to sort out your moo
