After seeing all their rivals escorted out of the ballroom, Riley watched as Adrian announced, "I know this is all very shocking for most of you and at some point frightening, but rest assured; the changes can only get better from here.""The growth of the King's Medical Center is a testament to that, and my goal is only to enrich the company," Adrian promised. "So, worry not. In today's affair, we will not only celebrate The King's Enterprises' anniversary, but all directors, including me, will also share our plans for next year and the years to come. For now, I ask for your patience as we go through the formal program of the anniversary party."Adrian gave the floor to the host, and he, Riley, and Charles exited the stage. As they made their way back to the tables assigned to them, Riley could hear the host say, "Ladies and gentlemen, that was an explosive pre-opening. It was heart-pumping, jaw-dropping, and electrifying!"Riley laughed at the description. She asked Adrian, "Was it

"We are glad to announce the official partnership of the Wright Diamond Corporation, Dowel Landmasters, ACE Construction Firm, and the King's Enterprises!" Anthony King proudly said before the podium. Pictures were taken to capture the moment as all the leaders of the said companies smiled before the cameras on stage. Then, they all signed the contract together, with Clint assisting the CEOs in reviewing it. Adrian signed all the documents first, followed by Kyle and Charles. Then, Anthony and the directors of the King's Enterprises joined in the picture-taking. More than an hour had passed since the big revelations, and the anniversary party was already in full swing. A famous band took over the stage and played popular songs everyone effortlessly sang or danced to. More food and drinks were served, further delighting the stomachs of all the guests within the grand ballroom of the Marriot Hotel. At one table, Riley embraced Renee, saying, "Are you happy it's all over, Aunt?"Rene

At Northgate Penitentiary. “Mr. Cross! Mr. Cross! Why has no one come to see me?” Calvin asked the new prison warden as the latter toured the prison cells on a Saturday morning. He was inside his cell, holding the round metal bars that contained him. “I have been expecting visitors since the other day! Why have you not allowed any visitations?”The prison warden calmly turned to Calvin and replied, “Calvin Eros. Visitations will open this afternoon. You will have visitors later, and you’ll be glad to see them.”“Is it Jasper?” Calvin asked, referring to one of his paid men outside. “I would not know, Mr. Eros,” the warden said, resuming his walk.A hiss left Calvin’s lips. Four days ago, Northgate Penitentiary’s old prison warden was dismissed. Since then, the leniency Calvin enjoyed in lockup was no longer given to him. His prison account was now capped with a daily spending limit, restricted to purchases of food and personal hygiene items.Calvin had a hundred thousand dollars in

“No! No!” Calvin’s screams sent chills down Riley’s spine. Even in his shocked state, Calvin had a sinister look, with cold eyes beneath heavy brows. Unlike her father, he had darker features—dark brown hair streaked with gray and brown eyes. However, his skin was fair, as if he hadn’t seen the sun in years.“You can’t keep me locked up, Charles! I have to get out of here!” Calvin shrieked while he was being read his rights and restrained. ‘Wasn’t it enough, Charles, that you took everything away from me? Do you have to keep putting me down like this?” Calvin barked like a madman. “So you blame me? You blame me when this was all on you!” Charles retorted. “All I wanted was to be with the woman that I loved. You came in between us and resorted to separating me from my daughter too!”Because of the heated exchange in the room, the jail warden decided to take Calvin back to his cell. As Calvin walked past Riley, he studied her from head to toe. His lips quivered as if he wanted to say

“Are you ready, Honey?” Riley asked Adrian in excitement. “Not really the kind of bonding I was hoping for, Honey,” Adrian hissed as he sat beside his wife. Riley ignored her husband’s lack of interest. Instead, she turned to her father with a gleeful smile and said, “This is going to be so relaxing, Dad, and didn’t you say you’d like to relax?”“I -” Charles’ brows met. While in his seat, he turned to Riley with a complicated expression and answered, “I - I trust you, my daughter.”Riley and Adrian had been with Charles in Dowel City for two days. On the first day, they focused on gathering feedback from Charles’ doctor to understand how best to support him. The following day, they visited Raelyn’s grave. In the evening, they enjoyed a delightful dinner at the city’s top restaurant.Charles’ psychiatrist advised that spending quality time was the best way to support a family member dealing with depression. For Riley, the most effective way to do this was to enjoy a foot spa together

"So, you never got to see Mom's body, right?" Riley asked Charles. "No, she was already buried in Sever Port's cemetery when I found her. The police confirmed it was her through her belongings, and they said that -" Charles frowned, trying to recall the day that he discovered Raelyn's death. "The police said someone identified Raelyn - a neighbor.""There was—" Charles paused yet again. His hand covered his mouth as he explained, "There was no DNA I could compare Raelyn's body to, so I couldn't do that confirmatory test.""But the police," Charles resumed. "They reassured me it was her. I checked the documented identifications. They had Raelyn's driver's license and social security ID."The moment Charles said that, dead air fell upon the room. Almost everyone looked at each other and came to the same conclusion. "The police were in on it," Adrian suggested. Instead of going to Dowel City, the couple returned to Adrian's villa, regrouping after Ramona requested freedom. Renee and Ab

"Leni was here earlier," Charles revealed on the phone. "She came to pick up the rest of her things.""How did you feel about seeing her again?" Riley inquired as she exited her car. She had just arrived home from checking the Adley store when her father called."I was okay. I feel sorry for Leni, but she really needs to stand on her own two feet now," Charles described. "She begged me to help her get another endorsement.""Oh, " Riley said, making a face. "You are right, then. She does need to learn to stand on her own."Quickly shifting the discussion, she reminded, "Adrian and I will be in Dowel tomorrow. You said the results for the DNA test would be out by then, right?"Yes, they had, in fact, exhumed Raelyn's body. It had already been ten days since Ramona had dropped the big bomb on them, and it had been seven days since they had dug up Raelyn's remains. Despite waiting for the test, they had already begun searching for other properties that belonged to Calvin, Ramona, or any o

Riley observed her father as he scanned the results, his face draining of color before a storm of anger erupted. His voice trembled with fury as he exclaimed, “Calvin, how could you?!”Charles’ hand trembled as he turned to Riley. He revealed, “Riley, the person in your mother’s tomb did not match your DNA, nor did it have any match to Renee!”“That means Ramona could be telling the truth,” Riley muttered. “And my mother could still be alive?”“Oh, my goodness, my sister is alive,” Renee remarked. She almost fainted at the news that Anthony supported her weight. “Are you okay?” Anthony asked, and Renee balanced herself again with her walking crane. “Dad,” Riley cried out, rushing into her father’s arms and holding him close. “I know this is devastating, but on the bright side, Mom might still be alive!”Charles nodded as tears stung his eyes. He pulled away and said, “We need to find your mother as soon as possible.”“We will double our search and use all our resources,” Adrian offe

“It’s so cold,” Charlie muttered while staring into the balcony. She sipped on her hot chocolate before taking a deep breath. “I wonder how long this bad weather will last.”“I checked the weather. It will rain until tomorrow. Classes will most likely resume the day after,” Taylor said behind Charlie. He drank his hot beverage and sat on another sofa, his eyes also studying the heavy downpour. There was a storm, and so classes were temporarily suspended. Thus, Charlie was stuck at home with Taylor. “So, what’s the story with you, Charlie Blondie? If we are going to be housemates, we might as well get to know each other,” Taylor suggested. Charlie turned to him, her gaze lingering longer than she intended. Taylor usually let his hair fall freely, but that morning, with his hair pulled back into a man bun, his sharp features were in full display. “Mmm. What do you want to know?”“Where are you from?” Taylor asked without looking at her. He resumed drinking his coffee. Charlie made a
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Book 2 Chapter 8: Cooking Disaster
“Eww! This is sticky—wait! I have gloves!” Charlie exclaimed after attempting to mold the ground chicken with her hand. Charlie was in the kitchen of the new apartment at seven. Her roommate was not home yet. She was watching You*Tube, learning how to make cheesy chicken croquettes. Earlier, she had followed instructions, mixing spices and condiments into the meat. Now, she was forming balls and putting a big slice of cheese inside. “Yummy cheese,” Charlie said with a smile. She loved cheese. “Cheese is life!” She claimed it.After making ten balls of chicken croquettes, she prepared the olive oil. Charlie muttered, “I’m getting the hang of this. I’m so good at this.”Charlie happily began frying her chicken croquettes. She was so excited to eat them that she took pictures of her cooking while she was at it, which she happily sent to her family’s group chat. [Look, guys! I’m cooking a very complicated dish!]Riley: [Meatballs? I’m so proud of you, Charlie!]Charlie: [Mom, it’s ch

As Taylor had promised, he was up early and about to leave for basketball practice at seven a.m. He was already in his basketball jersey, but given the bad weather, he wore a jacket over his frame. He was really tall. At six feet, he towered over Charlie.Taylor caught Charlie having another food delivery. He frowned and said, "It's not healthy, you know. You should cook on your own. There are a lot of videos on You*Tube."Charlie unpacked her food and said, "Oh, I can cook. I just haven't done my groceries yet."That was a lie. Charlie wasn't good at cooking, but she knew it was about time to learn. She had to admit it: Sofia and Ashley somewhat spoiled her by doing most of the cooking. Her contributions to the previous apartment were mostly cleaning and washing the dishes. "Anyway, I have to go," Taylor said, his voice still a little hoarse. I'll be back at noon.""I won't be here," Charlie said. "Good!" Taylor said before leaving. Well, she did not die. Thank god. Charlie conclu

At the condo, Charlie and Taylor sat in their seats, staring at each other. Both of them were clearly second-guessing the situation.“I still can’t believe I ended up in this mess,” Charlie muttered. “You are the worst possible roommate I could ever have.”“Really?” Taylor reacted. “This is given your experience of being roommates with other men?"“You -” Charlie gritted her teeth, her face burned in anger. “Why don’t you tell me, Charlie Blondie, why were you looking for another place to stay just weeks into the first semester? Where were you staying before this?” Taylor scoffed and suggested, “Maybe your roomies couldn’t stand you, and you got kicked out!”“You don’t know what you are talking about!” Charlie retorted. “I have my reasons, and it’s none of your business.”Clearing his throat, Taylor said, “Well, anyway, Charlie Blondie -”“Stop calling me that!” Charlie snapped. “It’s a way for me to differentiate you and Charlie Slade,” Taylor answered. “Who is Charlie Slade?” Cha

###FLASHBACK: TWO DAYS AGO ###“You have to try to get out of trouble! I’m tired of the school calling me every time…” Taylor’s father was ranting about the recent fight he had been involved in at school. Taylor was rarely home, yet this lecture served as his welcome-home speech. Taylor, however, barely paid attention.His phone suddenly rang. He interrupted his father, saying, “Dad, hold on. Tanya is calling.”“Tanya?” Taylor answered the call while his father was still talking. He could not focus and rushed the call altogether. “Taylor - a Charlie King - to co-rent the condo,” Tanya said on the other line. “Charlie?” He did not know why, but a certain Charlie flashed in his head. Charlie was a third-year engineering student, and they were in the same Structural Analysis class. Coincidentally, this Charlie had asked him about any vacancies at Fernwood Residence. So, Taylor immediately assumed it was him. “Yeah, I know Charlie,” Taylor said. It did not help that Tanya was out of

“Your new apartment is great!” Charlie’s sister complimented. Charlie gave her sister a virtual tour of the new place through a video call. It was late at night, but she was pumped up. She could not sleep!“I know, it’s clean and spacious. I guess it’s worth $3000. Haha!”“Pfft,” her sister, Freya, scoffed. “I think it’s cheap.”“No! Haha!” Charlie laughed again. “Luxford is not as developed as Halliport. It’s only known for the university. So, rent should not be this expensive, but I’m just glad I found a place to stay.”Charlie smiled as she sat on the sofa. She looked around, the wind blowing on her face from the living room balcony. She said, “I feel like this condo and this view will make me finish the rest of the year in Luxford.”She only had one year left, and it would be really inconvenient to change schools in between. So, maybe, just maybe, she could bear it. Charlie chatted with her family next. They had many questions, especially about her friends, but she said, “I just

Charlie looked up and met the guy’s gray eyes. His eyes were so beautiful, but this man was angry… and had a cut on his lip!‘Taylor West?’ Charlie silently named. Her heart raced as she mused, ‘How did he get into a fight early in the morning?’“I said, watch where you are going!” He repeated. His tone was sharp, and his eyes narrowed. He grabbed a younger student next to him and demanded from Charlie, “Apologize to him!”“I’m sorry. I was in a hurry,” Charlie explained. “It’s okay. It’s okay, Taylor, I’m fine,” the younger student said. “Head back to class,” Taylor told the young man and the latter nodded. He smiled at Charlie before leaving. “Look, I’m sorry. I need to go to class,” Charlie said. Taylor did not respond, so she took off.“Do I know you? You look familiar?” Taylor later asked. Charlie turned around and raised her brow. She answered, “No, we have never met.”“Okay, well, watch where you are going next time,” he said curtly. Just then, a group of students emerged

“Space, huh? You needed to focus on basketball?” Charlie reacted with sarcasm. “Wait, don’t tell me you just met this girl today? Because we just broke up the other night!”Following Charlie’s arrival, The Nook & Brew Café fell silent. She caught a look of horror on her best friends’ faces—Ashley and Sofia.Luke’s hold on Regina loosened. He looked down before meeting Charlie’s gaze and admitted, “I’m sorry, Charlie. I could not tell you. I… I did not want to break your heart.”Charlie scoffed. She felt tears brimming in her eyes, but she held it. Instead, she allowed her anger to take over. “You could have just said so and not leave me wondering what I did wrong!”“I deserve the truth, Luke. I have been good to you for the past two years.” She pointed at him, adding, “You know it!” Then Charlie eyed Luke’s friends, including their girlfriends. She added, “And they all know it!”“And you two!” Charlie called Ashley and Sofia’s attention. “It’s obvious that you knew, but you chose to l
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Book 2 Chapter 1: Space
‘I love you, Charlie, and you’ll always have a special place in my heart, but I need space. Let’s break up,’ Luke’s words the other night rang in Charlie’s head. ‘I need to focus on my studies and basketball. Scouts will be in town this year, and this might be my only chance to get into the NBA. I hope you understand, Charlie.’He meant that basketball would be his life from that moment on, and she was nothing more than a distraction.To think, Charlie was ready to introduce Luke to her family. Luke would have been overwhelmed, but sadly, he ended it before he could truly know the real Charlie Rae King. Charlie was watching the game between Luxford University’s The Atomic Heat and The Wall Street Warriors. Their school had four basketball teams, and each year, they competed for the chance to represent the school at the National College Basketball Association. Luke Sullivan was the captain of The Wall Street Warriors. They represented the business courses, whereas The Atomic Heat rep
