Collateral Wife FIGHT FOR YOUR LOVE
CHAPTER 51ARIANA'S POVMy hands were queasy and moist and I wiped them severally on my dress. The others had left us alone to talk so we sat, facing each other in awkward silence. We had both ordered coffee and some cake. We took a few bites in silence. I had never been this nervous in my life, not even when Jonathan had told me he still loved me years after his marriage. This was so much different. I knew I had told her that she didn't have to accept me, that she didn't have to go home with me and let me be her mother for once, but in truth, that was all I wanted and it would be devastating if she didn't want me in her life.I took a sip of my iced Americano and studied her features as I looked at her. She had similar features to mine but her smile was definitely Jonathan's. She had a dimple on both her cheeks which I didn't have. She got it from her father. Her face shape was his too. I knew this because I knew him pretty well and his face was still etched on my mind. I had forgott

Mrs Sanchez.She had a warm smile on her face and her smile was just like Andrew's. In fact, his face and hers were quite similar."Good day." I greeted."Oh it's nice to finally meet you, my dear. I've heard quite a lot about you." She said in a friendly voice. My fears were instantly calmed."We didn't call her here for a chitchat." Mr Jacob said gruffly."Oh yes we did.

Collateral Wife A WAY OUT
CHAPTER 55ANDREW'S POVFlying an aircraft was one of the things my father taught me. He did it for the fun of it and soon, I fell in love with piloting too. Back when my father and I were close, he would bring me with him when he wanted to travel on his private plane, that way, we could practice before returning. I was still in senior high school then but I had no fear. Alex never went on those trips, he was afraid of flying.I was now on my way to London for the meeting with Jonathan Railings and I decided to go on my own aircraft, but I wasn't in the mood to pilot. I had an employee fly the plane instead. My mind was full and my head throbbed. After meeting with my father, I realized there were things I didn't know. I had no idea he knew what really happened to Alex. He knew who was behind everything too and he did nothing about it?

Collateral Wife I MUST BE LOSING MY MIND
CHAPTER 56JONATHAN'S POVHer face kept tormenting my mind. I had tried to brush it aside as a mere coincidence but something kept pulling me back. Over the years, I had seen many women who shared some similarities with Ariana and for a while, I was obsessed with finding her. My obsession drove me crazy and I began to see her face everywhere. I would do some digging only to realize it was someone else. My parents found out about the affair too and when they'd heard I was looking for her, they rained hell on me. Eva's family would not be insulted like that, they threatened to ruin me if I disgraced their daughter.So I stopped my search. I couldn't find Ariana and even if I did, I wasn't sure I would be able to protect her by myself, especially with the people against her. I felt guilty for admitting defeat and for giving up but somehow, I convinced myself that I had made the right decision.

Maybe a little bit of relaxation would help me recover my sanity because lately, everything and everyone has been driving me insane.For one, that Lorena bitch was something else.

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,

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

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

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

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
