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

“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

Melanie sits on the plush couch in the lounge of Caleb’s mansion, staring blankly at the wide-screen television, as her mind wanders. It has been almost two months since she moved into Caleb Wellington’s mansion, and she has to admit that it has been a whirlwind of experience since she arrived. Caleb has been attentive and caring to her needs, but she still made sure to keep him at arm's length, as a way of drawing boundaries after he gave her a ring that she saw online for thousands of dollars, all in the name of props, but he denied it when she confronted him about it.Despite Melanie's efforts to keep Caleb away, because she has this unshakable feeling that Caleb is starting to cross the line between their actual relationship and their fake marriage, she still can't shake off the feeling that something is seriously wrong. Also, Melanie has not been feeling way too good lately, she has just been sleeping, has mood swings, and has an insatiable appetite. At first, Melanie brushed it

“Hey babes…what is your next move?” The voice in Melanie’s head snaps her out of her shock as she registers Ryan’s face. She hasn’t spoken to Ryan since they left Silver Oaks Resort because he didn’t try to reach out to her in any way, so she wonders why is he here today. After ghosting her for months. “What is he doing here?” Melanie faces her twin sister and asks her, completely ignoring Ryan. “He has been trying to reach out to you for a while now, but he mentioned that you didn’t reply to his message so he felt that you needed time to get over everything,” Kalin explains to her and Melanie’s eyes narrow slightly. “What message?” Melanie questions Kalinin instead of Ryan. “I have a patient to attend to, and since you came to the hospital today while he brought his niece to the hospital to get her treatment, I will leave you guys alone in the office to talk while I check up on Nicole,” Kalinin says as she starts to excuse herself from the office before either of them can say any

“CONFIDENTIAL MEDICAL RECORDS” Melanie starts from the heading of the medical report again. “Patient Name: Melanie Caleb” She checks it out again fi be sure if the medical report belongs to her or not. “Date: 8th of July 2020” she confirms and she nods because that is also correct, before her eyes skip to the next line to read the details of the Test Results. “We are pleased to inform you that the results of your recent laboratory tests indicate that you are pregnant. Your hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels are consistent with a pregnancy, and your ultrasound examination confirms the presence of a gestational sac.“Pregnancy Details: Estimated gestational age: approximately 9 weeks” and Melanie tries to backdate the events that happened, then her heart skips on realizing that the wild night she had on her way to Pearl Coast, which also doubles as her and Caleb’s first night together is responsible for her present predicament. “Due date: The estimated due date should be the

As Melanie and Ryan make their way out of the OB/GN, Melanie can't help but silently pray that they don't run into her sister on the way, because if she did, she wouldn't be able to coordinate her lie with a straight face, but at the same time she couldn't start sneaking around the hospital, because that may draw more attention to her. “Mrs. Brooke?” a nurse calls out to Melanie, mistaking her for Kalinin, but Melanie doesn't stop, to turn back, she just keeps on walking, hoping that Ryan will deal with her. “Check Mrs Brooke at the female surgical word,” Ryan interrupts and tells the nurse. “But that is Mrs. Brookes, I just don't understand why she is dressed like that during work hours,” the nurse argues with Ryan as she tries to go after Melanie, but he tries to politely prevent her from doing so, without touching her, so that he won't be charged with publicly harassing a medical practitioner. “Just trust me this once by paging her, and you will see that she will come running t

Ryan sets the car in motion as he drives out of the hospital, while Melanie is focused on seeing a movie on an iPad that he didn't even know she had. He doesn't concentrate his 100 percent attention on her so that she won't be uncomfortable but he can see everything that she is doing through his peripheral view. He drives straight to Bistro Bliss, and the journey that was supposed to be short feels quite long for Ryan because he notices every single thing that she does, but all her attention is focused on what she is watching. They finally arrive at the restaurant, and one of the staff comes outside to hand the food over, which he just collects and dumps in the back seat. “I am starving, so can I be excused to switch seats?” Melanie inquires because nobody is sitting there, and before Ryan can give her is answer, she opens the door of the car and makes her way to the back. Ryan doesn't bother saying anything to her after she makes her way to the back, because he doesn't know what

“Do you need me to prepare the guest room for you?” Ryan asks after he finally finds his voice. “I don't trust me with myself at the moment, so I would rather just crash in your room instead,” Melanie says as she gets out of the car. “Won't you get bored just staying in my room?” Ryan inquires, knowing that he doesn't want to keep on placing his feelings on a pedestal by bringing around her. “I will be with you, so I am sure that I won't be bored, then I have a few orders to finalize with some vendors, but it is so exhausting because I can't even decide on my own without checking with Alistair and Sophia, but I don't even have direct access to Sophia because Alistair says that it will never go down well with Caleb when he finds out, so I just let things slide because Alistair was acting like it was so much of a big deal, but that hadn't been making my work easy in the slightest at all,” Melanie starts to rant, bit as much as Ryan wants to be there for her, he can't stand it when sh

“Is it just me? Or does it really feel like Aiden is struggling to decide if he wants to like me or not?” Melanie points out after Aiden walks away from the table and Caleb shoots her a strange look. “What is there to decide? You either like someone or you don’t like them, there shouldn’t be any in between,” Caleb points out but Melanie shakes her head because she doesn’t agree with him. “So what is there to plan now? Are we keeping him or a we letting him go back to his mom where he truly belongs? Melanie asks and Caleb pauses to think. “You really want him here, don’t you?” She paints out and he shakes his head. “I honestly don't know,” Caleb answers her. “If you don’t know if you want him in your life or not, why can’t you just settle without a fight?” Melanie asks him. “Settling without a fight is way too easy for her, and I am guessing that she must be expecting that, but when my lawyers are done gathering the evidence of how poorly she raised him,” Caleb informs “ You thi

After Melanie ends the call with Kalinin and Ryan, she makes her way out of Caleb’s inhouse office and she heads straight to his room where she realizes that the room looks and feels different to what she is used to, but she isn’t able to pace it till she sees the note on the bed.“Good morning sunshine, you mentioned that you wanted your thinks moved out of your room, so I supervised them moving your things from your room to mine… once again, I am sorry for speaking to you the way I did yesterday,” Caleb apologizes again and she walks into his walk-in closet to see that a space has been created for her in the room.She exits the walk-in closet for the bathroom and she realizes that all the toiletries on her own side of the bathroom are composed of the toiletries that she was into when she was staying with him, just that everything is brand new.“I have no idea the products that you used now, but these were the ones that were in your bathroom, so I just asked him to have new ones sent

The next morning, Melanie slowly opens her eyes, groggily taking in her surroundings. She is still in Caleb’s office, sitting in his chair, but as she looks down, she notices her body is covered with a soft, plush blanket.“Could it have been one of the stewards that needed to clean up?” she mutters, feeling a sense of surprise and wonder, trying to recall how the blanket got there because she didn’t remember covering herself before she went to sleep, and she is certain that she didn’t bring a blanket with her to the office the previous night.As she lifts the blanket, she sees that it is one of Caleb’s because it has his distinct monogram, embodied on the corner. A faint smile crosses her lips as she realizes that Caleb must have covered her with the blanket while she was asleep, and her eyes scan the room, searching for any signs of Caleb, but he is nowhere to be found. She wonders if he went back to his room to sleep or left for the important meeting that he mentioned the previous

“Can I be brutally honest with you?” Melanie speaks up after a while, and Caleb raises sb eyebrow at her, curious about what she has to say. “I have no idea about what the hell I am doing and I don't think I have ever lost anyone close to me to be able to grieve properly…in short the closest thing that I have lost was my puppy” Melanie informs him. “Do you want to go upstairs to get the full gist?” Melanie asks him and he considers for a moment.“Not exactly,” He answers her“I have an important meeting at work tomorrow and I really need to get some sleep,” Caleb excuses.“Can't Alistair stand in for you at the meeting, as usual? Or doesn’t he know that you lost your daughter?” Melanie asks him multiple questions.“I haven’t told anybody on my side, not even my mom … so no, he doesn’t know and even if he does, there is no way he can stand in for me because the only thing he has been used to doing over the years is running the night club with me, so I left him to take care of the nig

As Melanie steps out of the hospital ward, she is met with the bright hospital light that seems to mock her somber mood, and she squints her eyes, scanning the area to see if Caleb eventually changed his mind and decided to take one last look at his daughter, till her eyes land on Ryan who is relaxing on the wall, waiting for her.Ryan’s face is etched in concern as he watches Melanie approach him. He can see the pain and grief, written all over her face, and his heart goes out to her as he envelopes her in a warm hug.“Hey babes, I’m so sorry about Dawn…I can only imagine how you must be feeling,” Ryan says, his voice soft and gentle.“Funny enough, I was imagining what it was going to look or feel like to be one of those mothers who found anything that their children did to be cute, but now I just feel so lost,” Melanie scoffs, her eyes welling up with tears that she blinks back.“I’m here for you, Mel…what can I do to help?”Ryan nods sympathetically and Melanie takes a deep breath.

It is not until Kalinin steps out of the ward, her face etched in sadness as she envelops her in a hug that Melanie recalls the previous 5 minutes.Kalinin was with the doctors in Dawn's ward while they tried to save her, she has just witnessed the devastating loss of the young child, and her heart goes out to the grieving parents. As she walked past Caleb to give Melanie that is standing in the hallway a hug, she could see the anguish and despair written on his face.

Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss The unthinkable happens
The drive to the hospital was a tense and uncomfortable one, with Caleb and Ryan barely exchanging a word. The air is thick with animosity, and the silence between them is palpable. Caleb is still fuming from their earlier conversation, and even though Ryan agreed for him to drive his car, it doesn’t make Caleb feel any better, judging from the way he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white with tension. Ryan seated beside him, stared out of the window, his eyes fixed on the passing scenery because he thought that it would make things less awkward, but as they drove, the only sound was the hum of the engine and the occasional beep of the car horn. The tension between them was so thick that it seemed to have a life of its own. Despite their mutual dislike for each other, they both knew that they had to put their differences aside for the sake of Dawn. They drove in silence, each listening in their thoughts, as they navigated the bustling streets. As they approached
