CHAPTER 81

JONATHAN'S POV

Something was up. My wife had been acting really strange lately and I had no idea why. She didn't really bother to be personally involved in the company's affairs but did more of directing and overseeing until recently.

She started to be more physically present at the office and did not miss a board meeting, a project or anything that had to do with work. At first, I thought she was trying to keep an eye on Liam because of my recent threat. I guessed it was her way of making sure Liam didn't mess up anymore and it seemed to be working, but I noticed something else.

She hung around Lorena a little too much. It wasn't just me, Elon noticed it too.

What was going on in her head? Did she really think I was having an affair with her simply because she looked like my first love? Was her presence here only to keep an eye on her?

I was in a tricky position. I couldn't tell Eva off because it would seem like I was trying to protect Lorena, or that I was trying to defe

    CHAPTER 82LEONORA'S POV"No! She can't leave, not right now!" I yelled when my mother wouldn't listen to reason."Did you not hear anything I've said? Jonathan Railings was here! Your father was here and he knows we have a child together. It's only a matter of time before he finds out about you too and everything we've done up until this moment will all be for nothing!"No. This couldn't be happening. I wanted to see my father too, I wanted to be acknowledged as his daughter and maybe get to know him a little but I had to keep my feelings aside and focus on solving this case Involving many innocent women and teens. It would be too risky to watch Liam without Lorena there. She was the only chance we had at getting information on the connection between him and Diego Santos. I could only watch from a distance and we couldn't go up to him without concrete evidence. We didn't want him to know we were on to him either, so talking to him ourselves wasn't an option."Please, let's all be ca

    CHAPTER 83JONATHAN'S POVI was fuming by the time I got in my car. It was a good thing Elon came with me because I wouldn't have been able to drive in that state. What kind of monster have I been living with? How far did she really go trying to come between Ariana and I? After all these years of trying to find her, trying to figure out why she left so suddenly, I realize that Eva knew all along. She was the reason for all of this in the first place.Elon didn't speak. He knew I needed time to calm down so he drove without haste even though he knew I was desperate to get home. It was his way of telling me to calm myself down during the ride abut I knew that was impossible. I might be calm now but I wouldn't be once I set my eyes on her.She was home, at the garden, according to what the maids told me. She had just had dinner and was getting some fresh air. I hurried to the garden and found her sitting there, a book in hand."Eva. We need to talk." I said.She closed the book and place

    CHAPTER 84ANDREW'S POVHer lips were soft and full, they tasted like strawberry. As our lips intertwined and our tongues engaged in a fierce battle inside our mouths, I pulled her closer to me so our bodies melted into each other. I had missed her a lot. Her scent, her taste, the feel of her. Everything drove me insane. Her moans filtered into my ear as I lifted up her silky night dress and ran my finger up her thigh and grazed her pussy.I pushed my finger Inside her and circled her clit, watching as her mouth hung open and she stared back into my eyes, pleasure pooling in them."I've missed you Rena, every bit of you." I whispered in her ear. "But I'm not going to rush even though I'm eager to bury myself inside you right now. I'll take my time and do whatever you want." I said, my finger still playing with her clit."What do you want me to do to you?"She swallowed hard and shut her eyes, then they fluttered open again."I want you to..I want you to eat me..like umm..""You want

    CHAPTER 85LORENA'S POVAnother day to smile and pretend like everything was alright when in fact, it wasn't. This was the perfect description for my workplace now- a place for fake smiles and awkward encounters. It was bad before but with the truth known to everyone involved, it became worse. I needed no soothsayer to tell me that it would be really awkward at the office today.I hoped Mr Railings wouldn't show up today. I prayed for an urgent, important meeting that would take him out of town, or better still, out of the country. But my prayers weren't answered.Guess who I ran into in the elevator? Yea, you guessed right. Of all the people I could've shared the elevator with, it had to be my father. The silence was loud, too loud, and I was getting tired of facing one direction -the direction where he wouldn't be in my view. My neck was starting to hurt. I shut my eyes and wished we would get to our floor faster. Why was I not quick enough to find another elevator when I'd seen th

    CHAPTER 86JONATHAN'S POVTime had never been this slow. Usually, I wished there were more than twenty-four hours in a day because the time just wasn't enough to accomplish everything I wanted to but today, I wanted the hours to run by quickly. I couldn't concentrate on work, I was restless and all I did was watch the clock.I still hadn't processed everything I'd found out. Everything Eva did was still a shock to me. I blamed myself still, I should've been more thorough with my search. I shouldn't have given up until I found her. I let Eva win, she destroyed everything Ariana and I had.I was eager to talk to Lorena, my daughter. I had no idea if she would believe my explanations but I needed to talk to her. I wouldn't give up on her or Ariana this time around. I needed her forgiveness and I desperately wanted to be a part of Lorena's life.Eva's warning rang in my mind. I knew what was at stake here.

    CHAPTER 87LEONORA'S POV"We were right about him. That Liam guy is a jerk." I told Keith and Devon as they walked into the office."You've been listening to him?" Devin asked, taking a seat next to me."Yes, and half the time, he's having hot steamy sex sessions with the secretary, the manager and some other ladies right there in his office. I've heard too much I'm traumatized.""Your step brother is quite the character." Dev whispered in my ear. "Well, did you hear anything useful besides moans and throes of passion?" He asked with a chuckle.I gave him a warning look and he raised his hands up in surrender, backing up away from me.""Well, did you find something?" Keith repeated.We were all anxious now. This case had been dragging on for too long and more girls were being killed and taken from their homes."Well I didn't hear anything regarding his connection with Diego but I did find out that he is stealing from the company.""What? He's stealing from his father? Why would he do

    CHAPTER 88EVA'S POVI hadn't made dinner in a very long time. Jonathan hardly ever ate my food. He left for work very early and came back home really late so after a while of trying to meet up with his schedule and trying to make him warm up to me, I gave up. I gave up waiting up for him until he got home, gave up cooking his meals for him and hired a bunch of people to do those jobs.But today, I wanted to make a grand gesture for him. He needed to see that I had started to see things the way he did. I had to convince him that I had accepted his illegitimate daughter as his child too even though the family would never accept her.The dining was agog with a frenzy of activities. The maids were setting the table and arranging cutleries, some we're headed for the wine cellar to get us a wine I had selected for that evening.I head Jonathan's car pull to a stop outside the house and heard him open the door."I was beginning to think you wouldn't be back." I told him. He hadn't slept in

  • Collateral Wife   THE PERFECT PLAN

    CHAPTER 89LEONORA'S POVI was tense, not because of the plan - I had been on more dangerous missions than this and stopping a killer was no big deal. What got me really nervous was the fact that I would be meeting my father for the first time up close. Of course he wouldn't know it was me. I would be dressing like Lorena, speaking like her and becoming her just for today. It made me so nervous that I would be this vulnerable and he wouldn't even be able to see me.Lorena would not be the person attending the party tonight, it would be me. It was the only way to keep Lorena safe. We knew Eva's plans but we we did not know how it would be executed so we couldn't risk it. The two of us could not be at the venue either in case they wanted to hurt Lorena there so it was better that I go in her place. I had been learning to behave like my sister for a week. Learning how she spoke, what expressions she used and her mannerisms as well. It helped a lot that we were very identical so even if t

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

    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.

    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

    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

    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
