Ryan chuckles, sitting beside her."Oh, just some funny cat videos and dance challenges... You know, the usual." Melanie giggles, scrolling through her feed."Sounds like my kind of entertainment."

“I gave Kalinin my word that I would get back to her once I heard anything from you and I should have reached out to her immediately Caleb told me that you were in my house waiting for me, but I guess my abandonment issues that stemmed from my daddy issues is a thing just like Brenda said“Who is Brenda?” Melanie questions“You have never mentioned her before,” she states raising an eyebrow at him.“That is because she is not in my life anymore and she is not important so there was no reason to mention her” he mentions“What exactly happened between you two?” Melanie questions, giving him a pointed look“I see what you are doing there Mel…you are trying to make me give you all the gist that you have missed since Sunday and way before you came into my life and I promise you, I will tell you everything that you need to know but I have something else in mind for us both, just let me get my car key from my mom’s room and also say hello to her fast…okay?” he tells Melanie and she nods.Rya

“Oh, my goodness, this has to be the best Suprise ever” Kalinin gushes. “Nobody told me that you were coming,” she says to Melanie, still trying to her sister and examining her because Caleb sent her a picture of what she looks like after she got out of surgery, connected to all those machines, and even do she is a doctor that daily, seeing her sister like that just broke her, and she turns Melanie around to get a good look at her sister while being careful with her right hand, “Babes…” allow them to come inside instead of making them wait outside for long” Martins calls out to Kalinin and she becomes self-aware. “My apologies, please come in” she apologizes. “I will get Mel's stuff down from the car and I will be on my way…I have things to prepare in advance” he tries to escape having to go inside so that he won’t be tempted. “That can wait...Melanie’s celebratory dinner can't wait” Martins says as he joins them outside. “Celebratory dinner?” Kalinin asks “Are we celebr

“Everybody, meet Olivia… the social media manager that the photographer recommended for me” Kali introduces Olivia to everybody officially and she curtsies, making Kiki laugh.“I am the blide” She uses a TikTok sound to introduce herself and the people who got the joke like Mel and Kali laugh out loud while Ryan and Martins are left wondering what is funny.“Let's get down to business,” Olivia says as she starts dragging the content creation tools that she brought with her, so Ryan and Matins swoop in to help.“Take everything to Melanie’s room, and I will go pick up Kiki’s outfit,” she tells him as she starts to walk towards their room. “The boss has spoken,” Martins says as he urges Ryan to get up and he does.

Location: No 123, Cedarwoods estate "Caleb, I need to go," Melanie said, her mind already made up. "But why? We just got here. I thought we could spend some time together," he pleaded. "I need to see Ryan. It's urgent," she replied, her tone firm. "Can't it wait?” he asked, trying to convince her. We didn’t get to spend much time together in Pearl Coast," he explained. “We didn’t go to Perl Coast to spend time together, we went there to find Shirley,” she said as a matter of fact, but Caleb’s face was a mixture of shock and utter disappointment. "You helped me find Shirley and I appreciate it but I really have to go now," she said, cutting the conversation short. “If you don’t want to drop me at his house, I can Uber there,” she said and that got him angry the more. “This issue is not even that deep, I will just drop you off since that is what you want” Caleb just had to offer to drop her off because even though he was angry, he couldn’t bear the thought of allowing her to

After waiting for them for 30 minutes, It takes about five minutes for everybody to put themselves together, and throughout the time they try to organize themselves, but the kidnapper keeps on calling consistently but stops after a while.

Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss The Worst-Kept Secret
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
Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss Unpacking the Past
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
