Collateral Wife ANDREW IS MINE
CHAPTER 28TRISHA'S POV.Andrew was becoming more and more difficult to meet. He was definitely avoiding me. The last time we spoke was at his club and he didn't even call me then to find out if I'd arrived home and if I was okay. He was a cold son of a bitch but he still had some regard for me. Not anymore though, he was so much different now. Andrew was the man I loved. I had fallen for him ever since our parents introduced us during a business meeting I'd been forced to attend and since then, I had straightened my life out and shown interest in my father's company just so that I would be worthy of him or so he'd notice me at least. Andrew was a workaholic, so I figured if he saw me frequently on the business scene, he would take a liking to me but and rarely ever had time for women, and all I got was a few nights of pleasure. I was only woman he had ever allowed to stay in his life. I knew a lot of women threw themselves at him but besides a few one night stands here and there, he
Collateral Wife DON'T MESS WITH MY WOMAN!
CHAPTER 29LORENA'S POVThere was absolute silence in the car as we drove to the last meeting on Andrew's schedule. It hadn't been long since Trisha stormed out of the office after threatening me and I was still upset. What was so special about her that made her so full of herself? I mean, she was rich and all and yet she wanted to argue with me over a man that didn't love her?What was so special about Andrew anyway? He was just a cold hearted man who didn't even believe in love.Okay, maybe he wasn't so cold hearted but he was still a jerk most of the time. Why was he silent now? Was he angry? At me?I did talk back at Trisha when she had bad-mouthed me and professionally, that was wrong. I'd heard both families were talking about a partnership in their next project. Did I just ruin it because of my outburst? How would I pay for it if that was the case? Was I even working for a paycheck? My job was the paycheck!I cleared my throat severally and shifted on my seat, suddenly becoming
Collateral Wife SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO KNOW!
CHAPTER 30SARAH'S POVI stood outside the fashion house again, knowing I still would not be allowed inside. This was the fourth time I was coming here and my third day in England. Laura was a sweetheart. She had reserved a hotel for me so I had a place to sleep and access to good meals. But I wasn't eating much, I didn't have the capacity to. Sophie had become very hostile to me since the first day we met. She had turned me away since and threatened to call the police if I showed up in front of her again. But what was I supposed to do? I needed to get Lorena out of that man's house and Ariana needed to know that at least one of her child was alive. Why would they even let her live like that, with only part of her memories intact?I stood at a spot where I could see who entered and came out of the store but I couldn't easily be seen. I was going to wait until she came out for lunch. I knew her schedule now and knew that at exactly 2:15, she would go to the restaurant across the stre
Collateral Wife DID YOU LIKE IT?
CHAPTER 31ANDREW'S POVI should have done more than break his nose. That piece of shit needed a good beating. I didn't care if he was the president of the company I wanted to work with, the fact that he disrespected my woman was enough reason to be rid of him. Later, I would send Alfredo and his men to find him and educate him more on how to treat women and how not to be a jerk."What do you think you are doing Andrew?!" She yelled at me, fuming with rage. Why was she upset right now? If she should be angry, her anger should be directed at that pig of a man and not me. How could she let him do touch her like that?"What the fuck do you mean? Why did you let him do that to you? I told you Lorena, your body is mine and no one else has the right to touch you like that!" I yelled, my voice echoing through the empty parking lot I had pulled her into."Aren't you worried about what this will do to the business? This was your only shot at your being free from the Greenes. Why would you ruin
Collateral Wife REVELATIONS
CHAPTER 32SARAH'S POVShe called me! That was progress!It meant she had believed me, even if it's just a little. The fact that she asked to see me alone was proof that she was curious enough to hear me out.When she had passed out two days ago, I had cautiously slipped my number in her pocket before she was rushed to the hospital. Of course I wasn't allowed to follow so that was the only way I could contact her, but I wasn't sure she would find it. Even if she did, I didn't think she would call me.I was excited when I picked up the phone and heard her voice on the other line. "Can we meet up?" She had asked. "I've got questions."I could hear it in her voice. Her confusion, anxiety, fear. She must have had her doubts all these years.I came down from the cab and stood in front of the restaurant she had picked out. She said she would be there waiting for me. I pushed the door open and scanned the tables, looking for a glimpse of her."Sarah?" Her familiar voice called and I spun
Collateral Wife I'LL WRITE OFF YOUR DEBT
CHAPTER 33LORENA'S POVThis scene was all too familiar, it felt like déjá vu. Getting kidnapped was starting to be part of my everyday life and it sucked. One minute I was walking around to clear my head before heading back home and the next minute, I was being forced into a car with people who looked just as scary as Andrew's men.I didn't have it in me to scream and fight because I had already exhausted my energy fighting with Andrew so after my initial resistance , I just sat down and let them take me. If they were taking me somewhere, I would understand the reason for it later.They stopped in front of a large gate and honked. The gates slid open granting access to the Audi Q7 SUV. The smell of freshly cut grass greeted my nostrils and the chirping of birds made it seem like I'd entered a story book castle, like Cinderella or something. My jaws literally dropped when the car glided inside, revealing stone walls and marble floors.The paved driveway extended twenty feet before rea
Collateral Wife IT'S CURIOSITY, NOT LOVE
CHAPTER 34ANDREW'S POV I didn't expect this stunt from my father but then again, he was never predictable. I knew he wouldn't like the idea of another woman being near me because he had been trying to get Trisha and I be together. Even though I had told him I wasn't interested, he didn't show any signs of giving up. He always wanted to have his way, every fucking time.I had seen him control my brother's life like that and Alex was so keen on pleasing him so he became a puppet. I swore I would never be one. I loved and respected my father, but there were lines I wouldn't let him cross. This was one of them."We're leaving." I said to Lorena, pulling her along. My father's men stood in front of me, stopping me from leaving."What is it about this woman that you're not telling me? If she is merely collateral for her father's debt like you say, then there's no reason you should refuse my mercy. I said she doesn't need to pay me anymore." He repeated."This isn't about you father. You m
Collateral Wife CONFESSIONS
CHAPTER 35ARIANA'S POVI developed a phobia for water years ago. I never went near a pool, not even the one in the compound. I didn't like taking long walks on the beach either. Damian had tried to make me do that several times but I was always too scared of the water.I had no idea why. My doctor told me it could be the result of past trauma that had something to do with water but how could I develop that problem when I didn't even remember the traumatic experience that led to it? I remembered nothing about the accident in Cuba. I only heard about it from my family. I didn't remember being on a boat and I definitely didn't remember being with a baby. Somehow, my family never mentioned a child when they talked about the accident.But I had had dreams about it, vague and fleeting. I almost never remembered them when I woke up but I'd notice my cheeks stained with tears every time and my hands shaking.So when Sarah told me about a baby, I didn't think she was crazy or that she was a f

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

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

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
