Following a solid night's sleep the night before, Caleb wakes up feeling refreshed. Looking at his watch, he discovers the time to be 7:00 AM and Alex Sinclair, Saint Clair's agent from Pearl Coast will be arriving in Orion today to oversee the project with his company and even though it is Sunday morning, he is neither the church type guy nor religious at all.Caleb gets ready to make a good impression by wearing a tidy white shirt and fitting trousers, then he grabs his keys and leaves to pick Alex up from the airport.He wants to make the representative very valued by being very careful about everything that influences his hospitality, hence he is controlling everything by himself even though he could have told his assistant to pick the representative up.At 8:00 AM Caleb parks his car at Orion International Airport and walks to the arrivals lounge. Looking at the flight status on his phone, he sees that Alex's flight has landed and heads for the Arrival gate.Caleb sees a large an

After a quiet night's sleep, Melanie wakes up feeling rejuvenated. Driven to interact with her faith community and spend time in worship, she gets ready for church. She sensed the Lord quite powerfully in the church, she sang hymns and listened to the preaching her pastor raised that she left appreciatively changed and rejuvenated by the gift of fellowship.Melanie gets home after church, excited to see Ryan for their regular Sunday hangout that became a routine three weeks ago and she puts aside everything that she would need to get ready for the date night into a duffle bag, then she drives Kalinin's car to Ryans house, knowing that she doesn't want to go through the stress of hurrying down from Ryan's house in the evening when it is time for her date.Ryan is a very busy man who works two jobs, not because he is low on money but rather because he is so good at what he does, so she packs lightly and leaves the house without Kionna because even though she and Ryan are getting rather

“Shall we?” Caleb asks when he notices that Melanie’s mind seems to have drifted miles away, and he confirms his theory because Melanie almost jumps out of her skin when he touches her.“Mel… are you okay?” Ryan asks Melanie, sensing her unease, and she gives a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes as she nods.“We can just go back home if you change your mind about the date,” Ryan proposes. “I am sure that Caleb will not hold it against you, " Ryan suddenly decides for Caleb, acting like they are twins that share the telepathy bond.“Or will you?” Ryan suddenly asks Caleb, acknowledging his presence for the first time that night by putting him on the chopping block.“Of course, I won’t” Caleb replies, glaring at Ryan and returning the same energy that Ryan has been sending his way since they met that night.“I am okay, Ryan,” Melanie says.“Let’s go to the Private Oasis,” Melanie urges and Ryan leads them out of the restaurant to the upper level of Bistro Bliss.The private Oasis is an

Alex sits alone on the lower floor of Bistro Bliss, scanning the crowded room and wondering whether Caleb's mystery woman is Melanie because he knows that Melanie has a twin sister and they look too alike. His thoughts return to their stormy history, and Melanie's unexpected exit from Pearl Coast is still fascinating to him because nobody could find her, and all leads failed. He had done everything to find her because their previous debate was inconclusive, and the last time she caught him cheating, she slipped off the grid for a bit and crept back to him when she wanted to end the radio silence. He was confident that this time would be no different. “Could Melanie be in Orion? Her sister lives here, after all,” He wonders as he orders food and starts eating, but his hunger is gone, and his thoughts continue going back to Melanie as these two weeks without her have been misery. He sets his food aside and plunges himself into a 45-minute internal debate about whether to investigate

Melanie is finally able to escape the rather unsettling situation with Alex, and on getting to the bathroom, her hands tremble as she dials Shirley’s number but it goes straight to voice mail.“There is no reason to be worried yet” Melanie tries to calm herself, knowing that Shirley barely has the normal phone etiquette that a normal human being should have, and her lackadaisical attitude towards her phone usage is just Shirley being Shirley and she will call her back when she gets her voice mail.“I need to know that you are alright, so I need you to call me once you see this,” Melanie sends Shirley a text on WhatsApp before redialing her number just in case she picks it up, but the call goes to voicemail once again.Melanie tries calling again so that if the issue of her not picking up is as a result of her phone being on DND (do not disturb) her falls will override the DND, but the result is the same. Panic creeps in, and her heart sinks because even though she always blamed the p

In less than 30 minutes, Melanie and Caleb arrive at Kalinin’s house, and Melanie runs down from Caleb’s Rolls Royce into the house to start putting together her documents, forgetting that she didn’t ask Caleb to come into the house. Melanie doesn’t inform her sister about what drove her to run home and start gathering her documents immediately, but Kalinin patiently waits for her sister to be done with what she is doing Since she knows that if Melanie doesn’t finish up what she needs to do, she won’t tell her anything. Since Caleb wasn’t invited into the house, he didn’t bother going inside, he just stayed outside to make a few calls. Firstly, he makes calls to arrange his jet and notifies his preferred pilot to be ready in 30 minutes to fly him to Pearl Coast. Next, he puts a call through to Alistair to tell him about how his date went and also to tell him about the recent development. It took a lot of cajoling for him to be able to guarantee that Alistair would overse

Melanie experiences a mixture of emotions: fear for Shirley, thanks for Caleb's support, and admiration at the breathtaking view as the chopper rises away from Orion, leaving the city lights behind. As the chopper soars over the coast, Melanie's anxiousness resurfaces and Shirley’s immobility weighs heavily on Melanie’s thoughts. Caleb feels her tension and pours two glasses from the helicopter's mini-bar. "Here, drink this. It'll relieve your worries." Melanie hesitates, typically denying the alcohol because she doesn't like what it tastes like, but tonight, her fear overwhelms her reservations, so she accepts the glass, adoring the amber nectar. The rich, creamy flavor astonishes her and Caleb smiles, encouraging her to drink more. "It's my secret reserve, aged whiskey,” Caleb explains to Melanie and she takes another sip, feeling the warmth rise across her chest. As the chopper experiences turbulence, she downs the rest of the glass. Caleb refiles her glass, concern written on

“What do you mean by ‘this changes things’?” Alex asks Ryan confused, as he starts walking towards his mom’s office because he would rather have that conversation in person than on the phone. “That is because it changes a lot of things” Ryan emphasizes with his eyes darting back and forth in his mom's office, but he doesn't necessarily explain himself. “Can you explain and stop confusing me?” Alex snaps at Ryan because he has had enough of his dribbling. “You never mentioned your fiancée’s name to me and now I started crushing on your fiancée…both of us are even like best friends now,” Ryan confesses to Alex. “What do you mean that you are crushing on my fiancée?” Alex asks him visibly offended as he practically sprints toward Karen’s office“Before you called me and explained the situation in an obvious way, I didn’t know that she was your fiancée and that is because you never showed me any pictures of her nor told me her name even though I asked you for it on countless occasion

“Sis…can you not be ruled by your emotions?” Kalinin says as she drags Melanie out of the sitting room to talk to her. “Calm down babes…I am not been ruled by my emotions, I just need to put it to her that she doesn't get to walk over my emotions the way she did when I was a child” Melanie tells her sister when she sees that they are out of earshot with their mom. “I don't understand…” Kalinin lets out confused. “Of course you can't, that woman did not bully you when we were growing up, but she bullied me,” Melanie lets out, rolling her eyes. “The woman in question is our mother, and however right you may be, I will not tolerate you speaking to our mom with any form of disrespect whatsoever,” Kalinin warms. “Our beloved mother, president general among the nations is right and I am wrong…satisfied?” Melanie expresses sarcastically, rolling her eyes. “Did you really marry Caleb?” kalin humps straight to asking. “No I didn't,” Melanie tells Kali the truth“If you didn't, then why
Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss The Unexpected Confrontation.
Caleb navigates the winding road from his neighborhood to Kalinin’s estate. The drive is quiet, with Melanie trying to get in touch with Olivia, Tony, and her other team members while Caleb focuses on driving because that is his job.The scenery shifts from quaint suburban homes to grand gated mansions. He rolls down his glass to enjoy the fresh air and interfering noises outside since the car is uncomfortably quiet. The air grows thick with the scent of blooming flowers and freshly cut grass, and the sun casts a warm glow over the landscape, illuminating meticulously manicured lawns and sparkling fountains.As they approach Kalinin’s estate, Melanie marvels at the imposing iron gates adorned with intricate designs, because most times when she came to her sister's house, or when she was leaving, she was always occupied with one thing or the other, but now that she is done talking to Olivia and Tony about their next line of action.As they get to Kalinin’s part of the estate, her drive

"Good morning Jenkins," Caleb says, his voice firm and authoritative as he walks out of his room, his phone already in his hands as he speaks to his chief butler. "Good morning, sir...how can I help?" Jenkins asks Caleb. "I need you to mobilize the other stewards to help get my Wife's things out of my car and clear out Benjamin's room have her things relocated to his room and completely change the interior décor of the room to white interior, accompanied by lilac touches, within the next two hours, but make sure that you get it done within two hours," Caleb instructs. "Is there anything else you need me to help you with?" Jenkins inquires as he quickly pens down Caleb's instructions so he won't miss out on any.“Now that I think about it, don’t arrange her things in Benjamin’s room as of yet, just send them to my room first, then when we leave the house, you will pick up her things from my room and place her in Benjamin’s former room,” Caleb adds.“Where should we relocate the se

“Calm down and finish your food,” Melanie tells herself. With that, she puts her ranging thoughts on hold as she settles down to eat her food and finishes it.Immediately Melanie is done with her food, she pushes her plates aside, and her mind starts racing with the thoughts of Caleb’s suggestion once more. She gets up from the table, gathers all her dishes, and takes them to the kitchen where she washes them because she didn’t meet Caleb’s dirt dishes on the sink.Before she finishes washing her dishes, she starts ascending the giant staircase with determination. However, on getting to the end of the staircase, she looks around and remembers that she has never been to his house before. So, she takes out her phone to dial his number because she doesn’t want to start screaming his name like an illiterate in such a giant, beautiful mansion.On dialing Calb’s number, she hears a faint ringing tone coming from the door on her left, and she leaves where she is standing to go closer, only f

“Wait, what?” Melanie pauses, as she has just started her meal, and she suddenly pauses, her fork hovering mid-air. Her eyes widen, and she can feel her heart skip a beat. “Are you serious?” she asks Caleb who is busy observing her expression, barely able to believe the words she just heard. The shock is so intense that she almost drops her fork. “Yo…yo…you…I’m kidding,” Caleb lies and Melanie exhales in relief, that she starts massaging her chest that is rising and falling with her palm, as if that will quiet down the thumping of her heart in the rib cage of her chest. “Is that how much pressure the thought of not being married to me brings you?” Caleb throws the question at her because he wants to judge what her reaction will look like when she finally tells him. “Are you joking?” Melanie questions him, after hissing at him. “Or did you think that was funny?” she presses and he just shakes his head. “Ever since I broke up with Alex, the thought of being stuck i

“Before we get into anything serious, do you need something to eat?” Caleb asks because he is starving. “You sent Alistair to deliver me a breakfast platter, so I am still stuffed,” Melanie answers, rubbing the belly part of the free gown that she has on. “I did?” he asks her and Melanie shoots him a confused look. “You didn't?” she questions him. “My bad…I completely forgot about that,” Caleb quickly codes that Alistair just sent the food, to lay the groundwork of what he needs to get used to for him. “Are you sure that you were the one that sent the food?” Melanie starts to doubt as she questions him. “I mentioned it before I went out to indulge myself in an unhealthy amount of alcohol, but I wasn't expecting him to remember to send the food because my mind was just all over the place.” he lies, so that he won't destroy the effort that Alistair put into making Melabie happy, while he was indisposed. “He is that reliable?” Melanie asks suddenly interested in Alistair's persona

Tired of the whole back and forth with Melanie, Caleb’s expression is stern as he looks at Melanie, after dealing with Sophia on the phone. “Stand up,” he says, his voice firm but controlled “What’s going on Caleb?” She asks, but Caleb is in no mood for any conversation again, and he just gestures for her to stand up, but Melanie hesitates for a moment, with her eyes darting back and forth, but then she stands up, her eyes never leaving his face. “Where is this coming from?” Melanie asks, her voice laced with confusion, but Caleb doesn’t respond. Instead, he turns and opens the door, expecting Melanie to follow him. “Come on,” he says, his voice firm. “Where are we going?” She asks but Caleb just keeps on walking. It is until they are outside, walking towards the car, that Caleb finally answers her. “We are going to Ryan’s house,” he says, his voice neutral and Melanie’s eyes widen in shock. “What? Why?” She asks, her voice incredulous but Caleb’s expression did not change. “

“I don’t understand why are being so stubborn and inconsiderate of my feelings, babe,” Caleb says, his eyes flashing with frustration. “I am not being stubborn Caleb, but what part of I don’t want to talk to right now so you do not understand?” Sophia’s eyes narrow. Just as it seems like the argument between Melanie and Caleb is about to escalate, Sophia clears her throat and drops her clutch on the antique glass table. Sophia is dressed to the nines in a sleek black pencil grown and red stilettos heels, her silky black hair cascading down her back. “Caleb, darling… since she doesn’t want to talk to you, I am here ready to talk to you, so let’s catch up because we have so much to talk about!” Sophia exclaims, her eyes lighting up as she sees Caleb’s attention on her, she rushes over to him, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug to mark her territory in front of Melanie. Caleb’s eyes meet Melanie’s over Sophia’s shoulder, and for a moment, they just stare at each other. Mela
