Collateral Wife HOW DID IT ALL GO WRONG?
CHAPTER 70TRISHA'S POVThe large sign hanging from the ceiling read. "TEE'S HOUSE OF LUXURY." Another one read "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISHA." and it was surrounded with colorful balloons and decor which I thought were a tad too childish but I guess I would allow it since everyone got a little childish on their birthdays.It was finally the day I had looked forward to with anticipation. The day I would make Andrew mine.I'd heard he was in London for business and he really had hit it big, partnering with the largest conglomerate in London so I knew he would leave me now. He had no reason to be with me anymore and his father would no longer insist on it. My father was angry at that family now as well and it took a lot of convincing to let me invite him to my opening ceremony and my birthday. What neither of them knew was that I had my own plans and I did not intend to let Andrew go.Everything was ready. I knew exactly what to do to make him mine but still, the thought of it scared me. I'd b
Collateral Wife THE HUNT
CHAPTER 71ZOILA'S POVThis was my third cup of coffee already. Lately, I'd been having more coffee than water because there was always a case to work on and I always got obsessive over it until it was solved. I hadn't slept much and just when I'd managed to get some sleep, I got a call summoning me for a meeting.I wasn't supposed to tell anybody about this meeting because it was a top secret mission. Not everyone got the call to meet at the Police Agency's Headquarters.I was excited when I got the call. It meant that I'd been able to prove my competence within my short time here. It's been roughly six months since I relocated. Everything has been amazing so far. My parents visited me here from Cuba a month ago. They took a week off to come see me and we'd had a great time together. I introduced them to my mother and I still remembered how emotional I'd gotten to have both my families meet. Marcello couldn't make it though because his midterms were coming up and he had to study.Th
Collateral Wife FATE IS AT IT AGAIN
CHAPTER 72LORENA'S POVONE YEAR LATERNever in my wildest imagination did I think I would end up here. This was the last place I wanted to work as an intern, but I had no other choice in the matter. There were no more slots available elsewhere. How would I survive the next six months in this place?I had done my best to avoid the Railings. I made sure I didn't have any business with them and no matter how curious I got or how much I wanted to see him and tell him the truth, I held myself back because I knew it was the best thing to do. I had to constantly remind myself that this decision was the right one, for all our sakes.A list of the companies that would be working with the school to take interns was pasted on the online group but the others were quick to fill out applications for the ones whose requirements they had met. The Railings Corp had quite a high standard and it was understandable because of its status, so a few people were bold enough to apply there. The majority simp
Collateral Wife BETWEEN SEX AND RESPONSIBILITY
CHAPTER 73 LIAM'S POV. This place was exactly how I thought it would be. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to have any fun here but that turned out not to be the case. The women here liked me as much as other women did and of course, I was the owner's son. That always added to my charm. I'd followed my parent's wishes and started showing up at the company and trying to learn the ropes. I wouldn't say it was working very well because I'd gotten into trouble a few times. My father's men were too loyal to him and they watched and reported my every move. I couldn't make decisions all on my own until the board met and agreed on it. It was frustrating and I hadn't been able to launder as much money as I'd thought I would. Diego Santos was on my neck and I hadn't had the time to go see him because of my busy schedule and the fact that a lot of people were watching me. I didn't want to hint anyone of the fact that I'd been meeting up with someone like Diego Santos. Everyone in business knew
Collateral Wife WE MEET AGAIN
CHAPTER 74 JONATHAN'S POV "Where are you going Jon?! We're having a conversation!" Eva yelled, running after me as I descended the stairs. I didn't reply, I couldn't because the anger that surged through me would not let me speak. I was right all along. Liam hadn't changed at all and I had just wasted an entire year. "Please, listen to me! You can't go over there in this state. Do you want everyone to find out about this?" "I couldn't care less. I've decided that I will not longer cover for him. If he wants to do drugs and sleep around with every woman he sees, that's his cup of tea. But he will not do so bearing my name." I replied with absolute finality. "Okay. I know he made a mistake but you can't throw away the fact that he tried. He's been clean for months." "No he hasn't. He just got better at hiding his tracks but I didn't let my guard down. I have the proof in my hands now and I'll make sure he pays for his crimes." "The police has already raided his hideout and they've
Collateral Wife MAYBE IT'S TIME WE STOPPED RUNNING
CHAPTER 75 ZOILA'S POV It wasn't easy calming my mother down. They were really pissed and it took everything in them not to show it with Bella around. Apparently, Lorena had forgotten something really crucial; Bella is a blabbermouth and cannot keep a secret. She was not supposed to mention the fact that Lorena had started working at the Railings Corp as an intern. It was supposed to be a secret but somehow, Bella let it slip. I'd panicked when I received the phone call. Mom was really upset and worried. She couldn't understand why she had to go there of all the other places she could have gone. I was already leaving the station when I got the call so I drove directly to The Grand Hall. They had come up with an excuse to make Bella leave earlier than normal but I bumped into her on my way inside. "I messed up." She said. "I'm so sorry, I have no idea how it happened." "Bella, Lorena trusted you." I told her. "And I promise, I never wanted to break her trust but I was caught off
Collateral Wife MY NIGHTMARE CAME TO LIFE
CHAPTER 76 EVA'S POV I didn't want to be here, but I had to show up anyway. No one had to know that my life was falling apart so I wore a smile and came to this place even though I didn't want to. I had barely managed to stop Jon from beating Liam to a pulp. He was angry and was ready to disown and arrest him but thankfully, he didn't create a scene at the office. Lorena was able to calm him down, something I couldn't do. It angered me even more. Why did that woman have to show up again? Her face scared me. She reminded me of a past I desperately wanted to forget. Even though I tried to convince myself that she had no connection to the past, I couldn't shake the feeling that my life was about to change because of her. And so I had done something I hadn't done in years. I'd called my men from years ago, the ones I'd had keep an eye on the shepherds. I found out that Ariana had left her family for some reason and had returned to London. Was that a coincidence? Was it mere chance tha
Collateral Wife WHOSE DAUGHTER IS SHE?
CHAPTER 77ARIANA'S POVThis encounter was inevitable. I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later and I'd mentally prepared myself for it, but I didn't think it would happen in this way. As I stared into the face of the woman who had almost destroyed my life, I realized that nothing could ever prepare me for how I was going to feel.The memories of our past flooded my mind. It didn't help that I had forgotten about everything for years because of my amnesia. Now, it was so overwhelming and the pain was heart wrenching."I was right all along. It had to be you." She said after almost a minute of silence."Hello Eva. It's been ages.""What are you doing back here?""Why can't I be here?""Whatever it is you're planning, you better not even think about it. Don't forget your place Ariana.""My place? Who gets to decide where my place is? Look, I'm just here trying to live my life and pick up the pieces. I have no business with the past because I've moved on and I suggest you do the sam

CHAPTER 105TWO YEARS LATERARIANA'S POVThe air smelt amazing. We were having barbecue in the garden and everyone was up and about trying to set things up. I sat down and stared at the beautiful view in front of me, and no, it wasn't just the garden but the people present there, here, with me.A smile formed on my lips as I watched Alex and Avery, Lorena's and Andrew's twins playing with each other and running around with their tiny feet. They each held a ball and tossed it around."Be careful kids, don't run too fast or you'll fall." I screamed."Like they'd listen." Leonora said, sitting next to me.I chuckled and planted a kiss on her head. "How's the baby doing?" I asked, rubbing my hand on her protruding stomach."Ah he's kicking every minute and messing with my bladder." She replied with a laugh."I'm sure he'll be just as restless as his father." Lorena said, placing a plate on the table."Hey, who says I'm restless?!" Devon asked, laughing. "That should be Nora." He replied,
Collateral Wife WELCOME HOME MY CHILDREN.
CHAPTER 104EVA'S POVThe board of directors had called a meeting at the Railings Corp. There was obviously something of importance to be discussed and it would be none other than officially signing over the company to my own Lorena Railings.I hummed to myself excitedly as I got ready. Of course I had to remind myself that I'd have to start a little drama at the meeting, talking about how unfair it would be for my son to be left out of his inheritance. But deep down, I knew it didn't matter to me wether Liam got it or not. He couldn't run a company even if his life depended on it and letting him be at the forefront would have been disastrous. It was better that I had someone with a sensible head on her neck even if I'd have to teach her from scratch. At least that way, I would be able to fashion her into the kind of woman I should have been if my father had given me the chance to run his company.My father had told me once that I lacked compassion. He said it didn't just take an iron
Collateral Wife IT'S OVER, WE'VE GOT HIM
CHAPTER 103DEVON'S POVI was restless throughout the flight to Russia. I knew I had to be calm in this situation but it was difficult to be level headed when I knew what was at stake. I'd blamed myself a lot for agreeing to Leonora's plan. What did I let her get herself involved in something so risky?We were now in our base in Russia. A few trusted Russian detectives had already prepared a place where we could meet and strategize. It was hard, this mission, especially because Diego Santos was very well connected and he was able to hide his tracks because he had powerful people covering for him."Relax Devon." Keith said, tapping me on my shoulder. Leonora is going to be just fine. You knew she'd want you to get it together and focus. We need to see this through, for her sake."I nodded. He was right. I had to be in the right frame of mind so as not to mess everything up."Okay, gather around everyone." Detective Shawn said. "Let's get a final briefing of how it's going to go down to
Collateral Wife WELCOME TO YOUR NEW LIFE
CHAPTER 102DIEGO'S POV"They're here." I heard Ignacio say and I knew he was referring to the new recruits I had gotten to work for me. I pulled out of my toy's dripping pussy and kissed her sweetly on her lips before signalling for them to leave. I wasn't one to mix business with pleasure. Never have been.The women looked like frightened chickens. They always did at first until they started working. In no time, I knew they would get used to their new life and would even enjoy getting fucked really good every other day.I looked from one face to the other and smiled. They looked really beautiful. I walked closer to one I had spotted with tears on her face. She looked really scared and was not even trying to hide her tears."What's your name sweetheart?" I asked her."D--debbie." She said, fighting back the tears so she could speak."Debbie? Oh you have no idea how much I love that name. I had a girlfriend named Debbie once but she cheated on me and tried to run away with her lover.
Collateral Wife INTO HIS DARK WORLD
CHAPTER 101LEONORA'S POVIt was dark. Pitch black with no single streak of light in sight. It was impossible to see anything or anyone around me but I could sense that I wasn't alone. I felt dizzy and felt the need to throw up. I felt lost too, not knowing where I was or for how long I had been in this place. The concept of time was lost to me. Was it day or night?Voices came from outside and I stumbled to my feet, feeling for the wall to steady myself. My palms touched metal or aluminum, and I recoiled from the coldness of it. Where my feet stood seemed to move. I wasn't standing on the ground. It was solid but metallic also. I guessed I was inside a container of some sort.We had definitely been moving because my insides were churning and with how hungry I was, I knew I'd been here for hours."Is anyone here?" I whispered in the darkness. No one said anything but I knew I wasn't alone. I could hear faint, laboured breathing."Say something if you can. Are you alright?""Who's aski
Collateral Wife BITE THE BAIT
CHAPTER 100LORENA'S POV.I didn't want to be here. The mere thought of it sent shivers through me and created a bile in my throat. It has been twenty four hours since my sister risked her life and let herself be captured by Diego's men and we've heard nothing from her.I knew Devon and his men had gotten her location and were trying to locate the hideout but it proved difficult. It seemed the women were in a container still and hadn't been taken to Diego's club yet. This meant that they could move anytime if they suspected they were being followed.It hurt me physically and emotionally to sit down and do nothing so I decided to go visit Eva and Liam. I would pretend to be my sister and make them confess everything they had done but this time, I would record everything to make sure they paid for their crimes.I pulled up in front of the mansion and got out of the car. I hadn't informed anyone I would be coming over here because I knew for a fact they would freak out. I had to stop by
Collateral Wife WE'RE COMING FOR YOU DIEGO
CHAPTER 99DEVON'S POVI hadn't taken my eyes off of the tracker for even a minute. My heartbeat was off the chart and I had to remind myself severally to breathe. It was very difficult to go through the wedding ceremony without having a breakdown when my girlfriend was being shipped off to God knows where. I never did like the plan from the beginning but Leonora was bent on pushing through with it. There really was no other way, and trust me, we had tried everything we could but it didn't work out.When this opportunity presented itself, there was no way she would pass it up despite how dangerous it was. The commissioner and everyone at headquarters also agreed to it.Leonora would be the bait.I remembered when she came to me and told me Eva had visited her and asked that they work together to stop Lorena from taking over the company. She told me that it gave her an idea and that she would use that alliance to find out where Diego was. It sounded crazy at first but it soon began to
Collateral Wife IT'S DONE, WE'RE MARRIED NOW.
CHAPTER 98LEONORA'S POVThe Grand Hall was a beautiful sight to behold, breathtaking would be the perfect way to describe it. My family went all out for this wedding. It really would be the wedding of the century.I wasn't supposed to be here but there was no way I would sit back and have my sister relegate me to the background. She had no right to deny my presence here. Eva's words were beginning to make sense to me now. She had to go or I would be stuck in her shadow forever.I knew the Grand Hall like the back of my hand, so sneaking in was no difficult task especially with how hectic things were at the background. Lorena was still in her room dressing up and couldn't be bothered with anything else. I overheard her asking for her hair pin that wasn't where she had left it and Bella, her maid of honor volunteered to go get it. I made sure to hide the hairpin so I would have time alone with her. Now was my chance.I waited until I heard her footsteps fade and entered her room, locki
Collateral Wife LET'S PLAY A LITTLE GAME
CHAPTER 97EVA'S POVAs I sat in front of the mirror and applied some powder on my face, I pondered on the reason Lorena would decide to pay me a visit. She definitely knows that her father had stopped living here ever since the truth about our past came out. Was she really here to see me?I checked my watch and realized that it had been three minutes since the maid announced that a visitor was waiting for me downstairs. She specifically said that miss Lorena was here and she wanted to see me. It was shocking but I checked the camera monitor and saw her seating pretty on the couch waiting for me to come out. Liam was out with his friends so it was just me.I walked down the stairs and she looked up when she heard my footsteps. I dismissed the maid with a nod and she bowed and left the living room."Lorena, it's a surprise to have you visit me. To what do I owe this pleasure?" I asked, taking a seat on the couch.She smiled back and looked around to make sure we were alone."I guess it
