Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss Code Red: Melanie’s Move
“When do you want the movement procedure to start?” the medical director asks Caleb“As soon as you can order the hospital to be on total lockdown” Caleb answers him“I am afraid that we can’t be on total lockdown because this is a hospital and there are patients in need of immediate medical attention coming in all the time.”“If not total lockdown, then order a partial lockdown…I just need the number of guests in the hospital to be reduced a great deal” he expresses“Especially those nasty reporters” he adds“Give me a few minutes to instruct someone trustworthy to get started on the lockdown and the movement procedure started,” he tells Caleb“I will also need to go to Melanie’s current room to inform the head of security there of the recent development,” he informs the medical director and he nods in approval.“While you are at it, can you instruct your hospital security to evacuate every single guest within the perimeter of the floor that Melanie is on for at least twenty minutes

Caleb did not expect to be impressed by how the medical director handled things, but he was. The moving was done successfully, and Melanie’s location was not compromised the second time.In the 30 minutes that the medical director promised the lockdown would last, it started and ended successfully. Even though the hospital was on lockdown, the medical director made preparations for patients to be brought in through the emergency entrance, which was to be used in case of fire outbreaks or any other form of emergency in the hospital.In exactly 20 minutes, Ryan got back to Melanie’s former room and Caleb took him to her new room with strict instructions that he must remain in the waiting area except when he authorizes him to leave, and he agrees and Caleb left the last floor and comes back to inform his team that he is away on a mission that he appointed him.He leaves the last floor and comes back to the fifth floor to inform the team leader for group 1 and group 2 to resume their duti

“Put the project with the Sinclairs on hold” Caleb sends Alistair a text that he sees last immediately and he calls him.“What am I supposed to tell Alex Sinclair?” Alistair asks him, instead of going back to talk about where their last conversation ended.“You don't have to tell him anything,” he answers his friend as if what he is asking him to do is as simple as ABC.“How do you expect me to do that when I am the one here and you are in Pearl” Alistair raises an alarm.“You avoid him and if he asks you any question, you tell him to wait for me to come back so that I can handle everything” Caleb answers him.“Are you for real? You don't even know when you are coming back here” Alistair scoffs.“The doctor told me that he will observe Melanie for 3 to 5 days after which he will discharge her if she doesn't have any complications from the surgery, and then I will be back” Caleb informs Alistair.“But you can't be certain that the doctor will not find any complications after cross-exam

Shortly after Ethan Sinclair finishes his diplomatic conversation with Caleb Wellington, he goes downstairs to find the receptionist who exposed Melanie’s personal information online and a nurse tells him that she is currently upstairs, attending her disciplinary hearing, so he hangs around the hospital because he will rather hear from the person that posted the news than rely on the people that don’t know anything about the news.The receptionist returns after he waits for her for fifteen minutes, but when she returns, she returns with a box and starts packing up her things. The hospital is announced to be on a permanent lockdown, effective immediately.The hospital sweeps in to start seeing people out of the hospital, so he waits for her outside before ordering his driver to invite her over, away from all the nosy reporters and he does exactly as he is told, bringing her over in no time.“What exactly happened to Melanie,” Ethan Sinclair asks her“I apologize but I won't be able to s

Ryan settles into his seat on the six-hour flight from Orion to Pearl Coast, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Melanie and her condition. He has been worried sick since the hospital receptionist’s cryptic message about her being hospitalized. The in-flight entertainment and snacks only did little to distract him from his concerns.As the plane takes off, Ryan feels a mix of anxiety and anticipation. He can’t wait to see Melanie and ensure she is okay. The hours tick by slowly, with Ryan periodically checking his watch and gazing out the window at the vast expanse of clouds below.Finally, the pilot's voice comes over the intercom, announcing their descent into Pearl Coast, so Ryan gathers his belongings and prepares for landing. After collecting his luggage, Ryan hails an Uber and heads straight to Chastain Park Hospital.The ride seems interminable, with his impatience growing with each passing minute but they finally get there and upon arrival, He rushes into the hospital, askin

Location: Chastain Park Hospital, Pearl, Pearl CoastThree days pass, and Caleb finally receives the green light from Melanie's doctor to begin discharge procedures. He breathes a sigh of relief because thankfully Melanie doesn’t have any complications from the surgery and they can finally leave Pearl Coast behind.As he handles the paperwork, Melanie slowly regains her strength and gets ready with the help of her nurse. The prospect of returning to Orion lifts her spirits. Melanie has no idea of what is happening in the outside world because apart from Caleb, the two nurses who know she is on the 18th floor, she has not seen anyone else.The people in the room never mentioned anything about what had been happening online to her, and neither did anybody mention to her that Ryan had come all the way from Orion to see her."Ready to go home?" Caleb asks as he assists her into a wheelchair, carefully wrapping her injured arm and smiling."More than ready." Melanie nods, her eyes shining.

Location Chastain Park Memorial Hospital, Pearl, Pearl Coast.As Ryan’s designated driver drives into the hospital’s parking lot, Ryan’s mind races with thoughts of Melanie. He hadn't seen her since Caleb blocked his visit three days ago, and even though he watched her sleep for less than 30 minutes the previous night, he didn’t count that as seeing her because he hadn't seen her since Sunday evening and now it is Thursday evening.Ryan missed his best friend so much and he couldn’t wait to see her, but frustration still simmered within him, which is eventually taken over by his concern for Melanie's well-being.

Location: Inside the private jet, in transit to Blackwood, Orion Caleb receives a phone call from his mom because she is part of his favorite contacts, which in turn means that she can bypass his DND, so he picks up the honey wondering why his mom is calling him because he always does the calling and she never calls him because she knows that he is always busy. "Caleb, it's Aunt Rachel," his aunt's voice trembles on the other end, and that makes him step away from Melanie, excusing himself to take the call. "Benjamin's in trouble. He's been kidnapped." His expression changes from calm to concerned as he listens and his grip on the phone tightens. His younger brother, Benjamin, is in his early twenties and he is about to graduate from university. "What do you mean by he’s been kidnapped?" Caleb demands. "We received a ransom demand an hour ago. They're asking for $5 million in exchange for Benjamin's safe return." Rachel’s voice cracks.

Caleb’s mind reels with the Alistair ten-year-long revelation. He feels like he has been punched in the gut, his breath is knocked out of him as the room seems to be spinning around him as he struggles to process the truth that Sophia, the woman he blamed himself for violating almost ten years ago, had manipulated him and actually fed him aphrodisiacs without his knowledge or consent.“When did you find out?” Caleb asks his best friend, trying to suppress the wave of anger, betrayal, and disgust, trying to overshadow him.“The morning of your accident,” Alistair answers and a wave of emotions hits Caleb.“How could she do this to me, most importantly, how could you do this to me?” Caleb questions Alistair as he thinks back to that night, wondering how he could have been so blind.“It wasn’t in my place to tell you at first, because later that day you got involved in the crash and was in a coma for two weeks,” Alistair tells him.“What happened to telling me after I woke up two weeks l

Caleb waits for a while before trying to clarify anything with Alistair, and his order actually comes in, so he picks up the room delivery, opens it, and takes it to Alistair who is a picky eater to lick so that the natural sugar from the honey can help stabilize his blood sugar level.“I don’t like honey at all, so I won't lick it,” Alistair refuses and Caleb almost loses his temper, but he calms himself down and goes to the table to find a cup, then he takes a large spoonful of honey, mixes it with water to create a soothing drink for him before going back to him.“You have to drink this, otherwise I will force it down your throat myself,” he says to Alistair, but he still shakes his head.“I don’t like the taste of honey,” Alistair says.“Well brother, you don’t have a choice here, so take it and chug it down in one goal because neither of us will sleep with their two eyes closed in this room today if we don’t sort this out” Caleb warns as he hands the soothing drink over to his be

Since Melanie insisted that he should order takeout for Alistair, he goes back to Oakwood Essentials to grab him pizza from Food Court and a wide variety of soda from the departmental store, so that he can have something to snack on later after they probably talk things through, before he leaves the mall and heads back to the guest house.On getting back to the guest house, he picks up the key card to the room, before making his way back to his and Alistair’s shared room, but on getting to the room, he realizes that everything in the room is just like he left it, without any sign of Alistair entering the room while he was away.He feels really disappointed and sad, as he drops the peace offering that he got for Alistair on the ground, before stepping into the shower for a quick bath. His shower doesn’t waste time because he wasn’t under the shower this time around to get his mind off things, he just wanted a cold shower after a stressful day, after which he returns to the room to chan
Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss Defining The Lines
Caleb and Melani eat their dinner in considerable silence without either of them trying to say anything to each other, even though they both have quite a lot to say.“Like I said earlier, the reason for this trial relationship is because I came close enough to getting trapped inside a marriage with Alex Sinclair almost a month ago, which is while I feel like a trial relationship is an important vetting process to determine if the other person matches what each of us wants in our partner, so the fact that I brought up this trial relationship doesn’t mean I should be the one benefitting from it,” Melanie finally breaks the silence, while Caleb listens carefully because he isn’t halfway gone with his food like Melanie is with hers.“This is an evaluation period for me, where I am trying to check if you have everything that I want in a man because the last thing I want is to settle for less just because you have a lot of money to throw around”“I may not be from a rich family, but I am wo

“Both,” Caleb speaks up after a while and even though Melanie wants to ask him so badly if he is sure or not, she doesn’t and she picks up the menu that she was checking earlier to see what she wants to eat.“S, what catches your eye? Want to start with some appetizers?” as they both check the menu, Caleb asks Melanie.“No, I think I’ll skip the appetizer and go straight for the main course,” Melanie answers as she shakes her head.“How about you?” she asks him as her eyes scan the menu for something suitable to eat and instead of doing trial and error with food, she tries to look for a dish that she knows isn’t likely to go wrong since she is starving.“Same here…I’m in the mood for something hearty” Caleb smiles and they both return to searching the menu and few minutes later, a friendly woman with a warm smile, clad in the same uniform that Melanie saw Valeri wear earlier, and assumes that she is their server.“Welcome to Coastal Cove! What can I get for you tonight?” she inquires.

“Hey babes, you are running late, and at this point, I think we might have to compress our date night plans.” Caleb sends an actual text that Melanie reads instead of trying to hurry her up as he has been doing for the past 15 minutes. “I am out now, where should I meet you?” Melanie texts him back almost immediately. “Just wait in front of the guest house; I will come and get you,” Caleb texts her back. So she and Valeri make their way to the front of the guest house together while having the conversation they couldn’t have in her room because Melanie didn’t want the other crew members to know the terrible thing that happened to her. “I am sorry to ask this, but I really want to know a few things about your child, if you don’t mind” Melanie starts, and Valeri nods, asking her to go on. “How old were you when you had her, and how old is she now” Melanie inquires. “I was 16 when I had her, and she is 5 years old now” Valeri answers Melanie. “I am sorry to ask so many questions, b

After Valeri left Melanie with instructions on how to look for her date, before leaving the boutique, the sales representative returned with the same dress in two sizes, one two sizes lower and the other her exact size that she tried on earlier.“Explain to me why you have two dresses with you,” Melanie asks the sales representative after inspecting the sizes of the two dresses.“We are in a bit of a pickle because your upper body is a size eight since you have a relatively smaller upper body up your hips is where we have an issue since your lower body is a size twelve” the sales representative explains.“I understand your concerns and one size lower would have been understandable, but two sizes lower?” Melanie expresses her hesitation as she inspects the size 8 with clear judgment in her eyes before returning the dress and shaking her head that she doesn’t want to try it on.“Why don’t you just step into the fitting room to fit it out first,” the sales rep says as she returns the dre

“What the hell just happened” Calen questions himself because he can’t seem to wrap his head around it. “Anybody who doesn't know the type of relationship that Alistair and Sophie share will think she is either his sister or he is in love with her because I don't get why he is trying to make an enemy out of me for something that happened 12 years ago,” Caleb mutters as he hisses. “Now he walked out of the room angrily, but he didn't feed me back about the details of the reservation that I asked him to make” Caleb mutters,“I was so engrossed with the movie that I was watching and the fact that I wanted to make it up to him by giving him the gifts that I starved him of, that I completely forgot to ask about the reservation that he went to put in place” he blames himself.“Well, in my defense…I had no idea that he was going to blow a conversation as simple as that out of proportion and even end up walking out on me” he tries to justify his actions.“At this point, I don't know if I ow

Caleb returns to his and Alistair’s shared room before Alistair comes back, and then he picks up Alistair's PC, logs into Alistair's Netflix account, selects his profile under Alistair's account instead of login out the account and logging in his own, and he goes straight his list to check out of the series of movies that he added earlier. He selects the first movie on his list that is not a seasonal movie, just a 1-hour 36-minute movie, called Happiness Is, while he snacks on his French toast that is supposed to be his breakfast. He starts the movie with no hope or expectations whatsoever, he is just watching it because he doesn't want to commit himself to yet another seasonal film that he knows he doesn't have time to keep up with. When he started watching the movie, the movie was really chaotic and he couldn't understand what the focus was, so he started hoping and praying for Alistair to just show up.Then the movie seems to resonate with what is going on in his life at the mom
