The kiss lasts for about three minutes before he pulls away, trying to catch his breath. He then chuckles.

"What's funny?" She asks, breathlessly.

"I just thought of something."

"What is that?"

"You take my breath away, literally."

She rolls her eyes and laughs lightly, the earlier tense moments forgotten.

"We are here." He announces as he looks out the window to see the tall gates that he's starting to get familiar with. The gates open right when they get to the front.

Bethany does not fail to notice the blinking cameras at the top of the gate pillars that are turned their way.

The car drives by and enters into the large estate. Not a compound, an estate. It's so large that there are acres and acres of vineyards stretched on both sides of the road and at the end of it is some scattered apartments and homes for members of the staff to live in so there is no shortage of staff around.

Right smack in the middle of the large expanse of land is a castle like building. Complete with the si

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Hot and Cold Moments

    Just about ten minutes later, dressed fully in a suit and long deep blue coat, Mason comes down the staircase, stopping to see the trio in the living room."Good afternoon. Hi Mum..." He comes in and pecks Martha on the forehead."Can't you have just one day off? You're always off to work."Mason chuckles and shrugs. "What can I say? You gave birth to a man who's a doctor and is a capable boss at the same time, so he's pretty busy." He sends a slight wink to Bethany and then his eyes land on Arthur.Arthur, equally, looks right back at him as well. His lips turned up in a small smile and his eyes daring him to do or say something out of turn."Good afternoon, Mr Worth.""Good afternoon, Mr Campbell. How are you doing today?"Both women exchange glances, feeling the chill in the air."I am quite alright. Ah, I have been meaning to invite you to get a glass of coffee with me, how does that sound with you?"Arthur shrugs, his smile deepening. "Sounds good. You just let me know when and w

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Late Night Talks

    Outside the tall medical building, John gives a small whoop as he calls his driver to come pick him up out front.He turns around and admires the glowing name out front. "Who would have known he was such a chill person?" He mutters to himself. His phone vibrates in his pocket and he picks it out."Hello?""How did it go?" The caller asks immediately, slight excitement in the voice."It went really well. With all of the rumors about how wicked and cruel he can be, he was actually pretty cool headed with me.""That's exciting news. So where are you headed now?""I don't have plans, how about we meet over some food, and then I can go shopping for the missus with your help.""You know I could never turn you down even when you bring up your wife."John rolls his eyes, a lilting smile on his lips. "Come on, it's a happy day, don't be moody. Should we meet at Eclipse?""Give me an hour.""I'll be waiting." He hangs up just as the car comes around, his exuberance is visible to everyone that h

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Over Breakfast.

    The next morning, Bethany joins them down at breakfast, a bit disgruntled. "You two are so against me. Why would you two make breakfast?"Arthur looks up while taking off the apron. "What breakfast?"Bethany cocks her head to the side. "Really?" She shakes her head in the direction of the apron that he only just discarded."Oh that? I was just helping to cut veggies."Martha rolls her eyes. "Fine then, if you're angry with being left out, help us set the table.""Finally, something to do."Martha and Arthur watch her go."She still hasn't gotten over feeling responsible for everything and every work that should be done?""I think that one will take a while. The first week of us living together, she woke up four am every morning without fail. She'd go cleaning, washing, mopping, makes breakfast and then I'll wake up to see all of that. I have staff to do all those things but she did it without fail.""Wow. That's as a result of...""When you do that for two to three years, it's bound t

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Couple things to discuss...

    The late morning brings Bethany into the office, drove in by Arthur's car.He kisses her on the forehead before sending her off. "I don't know why you all like to do that.""The meaning behind a kiss on the forehead is... I'll tell you some other time. Go on in."She groans lightly and gets off. She stops and raises her hand with the intention to wave but then, she stops herself and just sends him off with a smile of her own.She turns around and looks up and down at the building once again, still a little bit feeling like a dream to her. She walks to the doors and pushes it open.The few employees loitering about or going about their business notice her and do small bows immediately.Bethany musters a smile for them and takes the elevator up, simple and not announcing her presence so a bunch of well built security men will accompany her up.Nope.The doors to the elevator opens and closes just as Jade exits her office through the glass double doors."Ma'am." Her eyes light up ever s

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Platonic

    John Worth arrives at his home, leaving the chauffeur to handle all the mountain of bags that are buried in the trunk. As he walks up the patio steps, he glances back to see the middle aged man reeling under the bags and just turns away to enter the house, completely looking over him.Daisy is waiting in the living room already. She might have been there all night, waiting.John struggles not to sigha and roll his eyes but he draws closer to her and kisses her on the cheeks. "Good afternoon honey. Why are you here?""Where else would I be?" She retorts, searching his face."Well, you know that is not what I meant. Why are you up this early?""Where were you all night? I had so many things to tell you but you just disappeared and did not pick all of your calls all night. Do you think that is fair? Can't I just go out too and disappear for the whole night? Bye because I am catering for your daughter, you think you can just waltz in and out of here and come back whenever you like? I tota

    Over dinner that night, Bethany lays in front of the duo two plates, both filled with Chinese fried rice on one side and a tomato sauce on the other. She drops the first two and goes to pick up the other two, putting them in front of herself.Arthur inhales and closes his eyes. "These smell so good. I'm pretty sure I can't measure up to you."Bethany chuckles. "Don't worry your head about that, you can't. So don't bother trying. I'll just manage to live by the one you cook."Arthur laughs. "So you can be a little self absorbed too? Hats off."She chuckles. "Please eat."After a while of eating and silence, Arthur breaks the silence. "So... How was work today?"Bethany looks up and chuckles. "It was fun?""Fun? Is work supposed to be fun? I'm pretty sure my employees are not calling their work fun outside."Bethany laughs. "You're quite the boss. I can tell you're the type they won't invite to weddings or dinners because they are scared you'll reduce their pay."Arthur laughs, setting

    The officer rudely pushes Charles into the large station and then into a chair in front of him.He removes his jacket and drapes it behind his chair before sitting down. He turns on the computer in front of him and looks at Charles who is momentarily distracted by the hubbub of activities going on."Hey Mr, look here." The officer calls him, slamming a book on the table to grab his attention. "What's your name?""Charles. Charles Worth.""What's the name of the man you had been beating?""Anthony Moore."The officer types it down. "So, what were you doing at Platonic?""We have a small hangout. We were on the same football team in college so it was like a small get together.""So, what happened? Why did you beat him unconscious?"Charles grits his teeth, massaging his wrists from the ache, noting the dried blood on his fists. "Well?""He made a comment about my wife... Hell, ex wife."The officer glances up at him and then looks back down, typing away on the computer what Charles is

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   The Queen and the Ambitious Pawn.

    “Your vote doesn’t count, Kevin Fitzpatrick.” Bethany starts simply. “You’re not a director anymore.” She pulls her eyes over to him, giving him the scariest death stare he has ever seen in his whole life as a man and as a business man. “Your presence here does not count either, you, here, is like a speck of dust, unwanted but can’t be gotten rid of. That, is who you are, Kevin. Nothing more than a leech, sorry for the language to everyone but Kevin…” She clocks her head to the side in a forty five degree angle and looks right into his eyes. “You are a dumb thieving mother fucker.”Bethany’s words hang in the air, and Kevin stands frozen in place, his face drained of color. His eyes dart between Bethany, Martha, and Mason, searching for something for him, an escape, a defense, any sign that this isn’t happening.The directors are also judging him with their eyes, the ones he blackmailed especially staring at him in disdain.But the reality of the moment hits him like a tidal wave. He’

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   The End.

    The glass doors of the boardroom swing open, and Jade walks in with Martha’s bag in her hands.The room goes silent as everyone stands, rising to their feet. The directors, except Mason and Bethany, are caught off guard by the presence of the matriarch of the Campbell family.Technically, Bethany did not just attain the post of CEO in hindsight, she is a member of the founding family and Mason had chosen by himself to focus on the hospital alone as seeing the whole conglomerate will be too much work for him considering he is a surgeon as well so Bethany, upon arrival, had automatically taken the baton.Martha, elegant and composed, moves gracefully toward the head of the table. Bethany steps aside without hesitation, vacating her seat for her mother. Martha sits down slowly, her eyes scanning the room.There is a powerful, or should we call it an intimidating silence that fills the boardroom as she looks from face to face, director to director and they look back at her, her gaze linge

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   The Board of Director's Meeting.

    The five days left on their self planned mini vacation pass quickly for the duo, especially and mostly for Bethany, but she’s ready. She’s not dreading the board of directors' meeting, not in the slightest.In fact, there is an absolute calm sense of control in the air as she heads in her car to the company from her mum’s place, it’s the last day there anyway and she knows that whatever Kevin Fitzpatrick has up his sleeve, she’s more than prepared.Much more prepared than the money grubbing doofus could ever be.By now, the media is buzzing about the meeting, the entertainment and business world, news and tabloids about companies and private corporations and even some random enthusiasts are all aware of what is happening at the company, thanks to Kevin’s constant whispers to the press. He has been pretty busy making sure everyone knows he expects to walk out as the new CEO of Campbell Conglomerate, the man who finally toppled Bethany from her throne or at least, be the one who will mak

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   The Deed Being Done.

    The afternoon air was cool as the man in black stepped out of his car. His brow furrowed as he watched the taillights of a vehicle pulling out of the parking lot, the sight strangely familiar. He stared after it for a moment, but once it disappeared around the corner, he shrugged it off as the car of another wretched individual coming to check up on another wretch living in the building ahead of him.He turned his attention to the run down building in front of him, its once strong structure now crumbling at the edges. The perfect example of age tearing down a place. The faint flicker of a streetlight nearby cast long shadows along the cracked pavement. Without a second thought, he began walking toward the entrance, his footsteps slow and deliberate.He knew who he was looking for but the exact room, he hopes on luck to find it because if he does not end the madness today, he does not know when he will.Inside, the building was just as bleak as its exterior. The walls were stained with

    Bethany Worth stood silently in the hospital room, unsure of what to say or do. Daisy had just arrived, her eyes red and puffy from crying, and the air between them felt thick with the tension that had always existed. Despite everything, Bethany found herself wanting to comfort Daisy, even though she knew that Daisy had never been particularly kind toward her.For a moment, Bethany hesitated, unsure of whether she should say something or just leave. Instead, she sat down quietly beside Daisy, not saying a word but offering her silent support.Sometimes, just being there was enough, even though she has no idea why the older woman had bee crying or why her eyes were that red shade of puffy.Daisy wiped at her eyes with the back of her hand, her breath shaky. For once, she didn’t push Bethany away. She let herself cry, and Bethany remained beside her, not knowing what else to do but just listen to the almost silent sobbing.Her heart just won’t let her get up and leave her in that state.

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   To Take Things Into His Hands!

    Arthur Worth stared at his phone earlier that morning, hesitating for a moment before pressing the call button. He had felt a knot in his stomach, but the call had to be made. With everything going on, it was time to take matters into his own hands, whether he took permission or not because who knows, Bethany might still want them to wait it out like mature adults.The phone rang a few times before a woman’s voice answered, sounding almost too cheerful for this early in the day.“Hello?” she said, her voice bright and eager, almost like she knew who it was that is calling her.Maybe she does, and has been expecting this call for quite a while.“Hi, this is Arthur Worth,” Arthur replied, trying to keep his voice calm and steady. “I wanted to know if you’d be available for lunch today. I need to discuss something important with you ma’am.”There was a brief pause, then a spectacular rush of excitement in her tone. “Of course, Mr. Worth! I’d love to, it’ll be my absolute pleasure. When a

    Bethany Worth stood firm above him as she retreats her face, watching as Trevor doubles over in pain from the sharp kick she had delivered to his groin. His face contorting in agony as he crumpled to the ground, clutching himself in the lower part. He had used that same part of his body t hurt Quinn.She kicks him in the face again.For some reason, she is still not sated. He had used that part of him to hurt Quinn, a seventeen year old girl and then had the guts from wherever the fuck he had gotten them from, to come visit her in the hospital with a bouquet of flowers…The satisfaction she ought to get from seeing him so helpless after what he had done to Quinn, she ought to be filled with a sense of triumph she has not felt in a long time but the feeling is still missing.Maybe one more kick will do it.Raising the back of her heels, the pointy part, she places it inconspicuously on his curled toe.He yells all over again but Bethany does not remove the heel from his leg, a small sm

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Police Station, Hopital...

    John looks around, agitatedly at all the people around him, gaping silently.Only Marsh seems to find it amusing though as Halloway finds his way out of the interrogating room, no doubt back to the other side of the two way mirror.John lowers his head as he silences the call. The same number had called him some few days before, asking him to come over to the police station. He had obliged and done so, but now, in a bid to save Daisy from getting unjustly accused, he has waddled almost willingly into his own trouble."I think we have to start over, go back and begin again from the start now, Mr. Worth. You said you did not know Sienna until those few days before when she called your wife and revealed herself as your estranged daughter. How about you start from the point you cheated? Who is her mother? Because sadly, we need to let her family know that she is no more."John hangs his head as he mutters almost inaudibly. "Her mother is dead. I don't know if she has any families left, ex

    “You know,” Marsh begins, his tone shifting to something more serious, “for a man who just lost his daughter, you seem remarkably calm.”John Worth feels the room grow cold around him. His heart pounds hard in his chest as Marsh’s words echo in his ears. He freezes, unable to look at anyone, especially not Daisy, whose presence beside him feels like an unbearable weight. Even she can’t raise her head and look him in the eyes, her lips thinning guiltily.Marsh leans forward, his expression sharp and expectant. “So, Mr. Worth,” he says slowly, “care to explain your relationship with Sienna in clearer terms? It seems there’s more you haven’t told us, to find the one who murdered your daughter, we will need the truth… Unless you don’t want us to find out who the killer really is.”John glances at Daisy, whose gaze remains firmly fixed on the floor and her twirling fingers. She hasn’t cried, but her eyes are wet, her silence louder than any accusation.Guilt gnaws at him, but he can’t find
