LOVE AND LIES: THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE'S RETURN CHAPTER 12
GIAII marched into his office at noon the next day, not even looking at his secretary, whose smile I'm sure would have pissed me off. He was on his phone and before he could say a word, I threw the recorder on his table. “Never make me do something like that again.”I plopped down on the cashier because I was so tired. I had barely gotten any sleep; I was highly irritated because he kept groping me, and my head ached from the loud music. “You seemed to do a good job. I'm proud of you.”Now, he was the one making me uncomfortable. The recorder came on and I heard a static first before it started playing. I first heard my voice. “What can you tell me about the Javon Quinten court case?”He was so out of it that I didn't even know when I slapped him. I flinched when I heard it on the speaker. “Why did you slap him?”I shrugged. “He was pissing me off.”The fact that he ended up throwing up towards the end of the recording made me cringe. Eli's eyes were still on me when I looke

JAVON“What’s that supposed to be?” I pointed at the plate in front of me. She smiled proudly like she had done something worth commending. “I brought you food. I heard you hadn't eaten all day and I decided to get you something to eat.”“Take this rubbish and get out of my office."Her smile fell. “But I spent all day making this for you. You should taste it-”“The last time I ate something you made, I landed in the hospital. I won't say it again, get out of my office.”She marched away but I called her back. “Get this thing out of my face.”She came back and picked up the plate, murmuring as she left and slammed the door. Two years after Gaia left, my mother found out about everything that happened and she brought Stephanie into my home to “take care of me.”I specifically told her that I wasn't interested in her and I would never be, but she refused to listen, saying that it didn't matter as Gaia had already left me and that I would grow to like Stephanie. It had been three y

EVELYN “I managed to get you a seat at the next court hearing. Don't ask me how I did it, just know that I did it.”I was shocked, to say the least. I mean, we'd been trying to get just anybody to talk about what happened and somehow, he was able to get me a seat in the next hearing? “Don’t tell me you made me a juror.” I joked. He gave me a side-eye. “I’m powerful but I'm not that powerful. You'll be attending the meeting as an intern to a friend who's also a lawyer on the military's side. I was able to speak to him and he was willing to take you on as long as you don't cause any trouble.”What trouble would I want to cause? The only thing I can do is curse Javon while he stands there being guilty because I know he is. With the kind of man he was, he couldn't tell me that he wasn't guilty. I didn't know the full background of the story but he hadn't given me reason to believe that he was any more innocent than the military was trying to make him. “That’s fine. I'll handle thing

GAIA I spent the day at home, well most of it anyway. I looked for anything that the media could tell me about the court case but there was little to no news coverage about the issue. Mainly because it had to do with the military and also because it would be a slap on the military's face if it's found out by the public that a civilian made away with weapons..First off, the entire country would be thrown into chaos because they would fear about whose hands those guns would get into and also, it meant the military wasn't reliable anymore. I jumped from site to site, jotting down a few things that seemed important, and decided to ask Mr Quinten about it when I went into the office. Hearing this issue happen seemed like a dream to me because according to the news, his company was dropping and losing money. Of course, they didn't know what was going on exactly, but they could see the statistics, and they knew something was wrong. His company has lost a significant amount of money an

EVELYNIf Javon's appearance did anything to me, it made me more determined to bring him down. I didn't have plans to go to the office the next day but because of him, I went there. Mr Quinten was just on his way out. “Hey, I need to speak to you.” He looked absent-minded and worried. “What do you need? I'm busy right now.”He walked past me so quickly that I had to run after him and follow him into the elevator. “I wanted to ask you some questions about the case. The security footage, can you get it? I read somewhere that Javon's lawyers were saying that the image was not clear enough to identify that it was him."His attention was on his phone and he was typing furiously. “Mr Quieten!”He looked up. “Yes? What did you say?"I had to repeat myself and make sure that he was listening to me this time around. “The footage is tightly secured. If anything happens to it, then all evidence of Javon being connected to this case gets lost. The military is securing it to have their ca

EVELYN I sat in the restaurant with my legs bouncing up and down in anticipation as my heart thudded loudly in my chest. I didn't want to pick up the call, and I breathed out in relief when the first call ended, but before I could continue thinking, the phone vibrated again in my hand, and I couldn't help but be scared. I'd never had a good relationship with my father, even from the start. He'd always hated me and he wasn't afraid to show it. I knew from the time when I started growing up and I noticed the way he treated me differently. My friends always spoke about their fathers and the way they spent time with them and they bought them things. But not my father. My father didn't care for me, he didn't even know I existed until he saw me or I got into trouble. It wasn't even something that I could do anything about. Everything I did was an issue to him. I couldn't go out with my friends, I couldn't have friends over, I couldn't smile or be happy like other kids my age. He expe

JAVON The meeting with the board didn't go so well. Mainly because I wasn't listening and then they kept asking me questions. Today's meeting was for me to explain how the court case was affecting the company. Sales were going down since the public knew that the CEO of the company was in hot water with the military. “It’s not good for the business. it's affecting us. I mean, what will the public say?!”I didn't have the strength to answer these men, especially Mr Bertram who had always been after me. “Let the public say what they want to say. That's why they're the public, their opinions don't matter. Things are under control. Don't make them to be more than they are.”I didn't even want to attend this meeting in the first place because I knew how it was going to go but my assistant made me. My company was going through a lot with the current case against me and it was affecting me greatly. “How can you say a thing like that? They're the reason you have this company in the firs

JAVON I collected the phone from her as she stretched it towards me. I looked at the screen and couldn't believe what I was seeing. “I don't believe this. I would never sleep with you even with a gun pointed to my bead.”I got off the bed and began picking her clothes from the floor and I threw them at her. “Dress up and get out.”I picked up my phone to see ten missed calls from my lawyers. Wonderful, the last thing I needed was more trouble than needed. “Javon, why are you acting like this? I'm not the one who brought myself here. You brought me here, you approached me.”I turned around to face her. “Also, why the hell did you take pictures?”“Because I knew you were going to act like this so I needed proof that I didn't seduce you.”Why did I find that hard to believe? I wanted to say something but I just couldn't remember what it was. I tried to remember at what point I went over to her but my memory stopped at the bar when the bartender came to me. I don't even know how

THIRD PERSON POVHe left Alpha Dimitri's house in anger, storming back to the car and getting in. He wasn't exactly angry that the Alpha didn't take his daughter as a wife. He had been hoping for it too because he knew the Alpha had a wife already and no responsible man would marry two women just months apart. So he was grateful for that at least. But he was still mad about the fact that his daughter was pregnant. Nothing could change that. But another thing that wouldn't change was the fact that his daughter was going to be the other woman and that child would never be the heir. That was something he couldn't allow. He had a reputation to uphold and he wouldn't let this situation mess that up. Since Alpha Dimitri couldn't marry his daughter, then he had to do something he didn't want to. He didn't believe in abortion and he didn't ever think that he would ask his princess to do a thing like this but right now, he didn't have a choice. He couldn't let such a thing happen and me

EDEN I knew from the moment she came from the stairs that something was wrong. From the way she walked to the way she spoke to Roman, I could tell that something was different. Off. Then she looked at me as Roman walked away. Then I confirmed. “Why are you here?”She looked shocked that I had recognised her because her eyes widened.But she knew that there was no need to deny it. “Is it you or is it her?"“It’s me, she's having problems coming out. What are you doing here?" She seemed to relax when she figured out that it was me and she chuckled and fell back on the chair behind her. “So it's you. It's about time we had a discussion. Have a seat."“Don't act like we're friends all of a sudden. What are you doing in my house? And what are you doing in Quinn's body? Where is she?!” What the hell did she do with Quinn?“You might want to reduce your voice. We don't want any of the maids or guards hearing anything about this. Have a seat and then we can talk.” I let out a heavy

LUCIAN At this point, I was being forced what I originally didn't want to. Find out who the mole is. There was no way I would know who told Golden Blade King that we were coming because basically everyone was there that night. All the guards, all the maid and the elders knew so how would I be able to single one person out? “A test.” I looked at Kira as she stood over me while I thought. “What did you say?”“A test, Lucian. You can spread some silly rumor and then watch who leaves the pack. Before, we didn't know that there was a spy but now that we do, we'll be on the look out.”That seemed like it would make sense. I should definitely try that. “What should I say?”“Let's do something outrageous. Let's say the prince has returned with some other kids and they're going to tell us what happened and even take us back to where they were being held.”That made sense and sounded like it would work. “Fine then, you can get on that. I don't know how you want to make it seem natural th

EVELYN I watched her as she walked away, not knowing what exactly to say. My head cleared and I just stood there, replaying her words in my head. Had I heard right? She was behind the attack. Tears gathered in my eyes and I wondered if I should go after her and ask her to explain herself. Why did she have to go that far just to get back at me? Why did she have to do that? If she wanted to kill me, she could have just come up to me and done it without having to put Nathan's life at risk. What if something had happened to him? What if Lucian hadn't come there in time and I had no place to go? Tears fell from my eyes and I slowly made my way upstairs to my room. I wanted to be alone for now, training could wait. If anyone should ask me why I was crying, I wouldn't know what to tell them so it was best that I just went to my room. As I climbed the stairs, I bumped into someone again. What the hell was with me and bumping into people today?Since my head was bent down as I didn't

The sun was coming down when Wayne came out of the building. He'd had a long day and he couldn't wait to get home and lie in his bed. He just wanted to rest after the events of the past week. “Mr Wayne!”“Mr Wayne! Look here! Do you have anything to say concerning the rumors?!” “Are you truly married?"“What is your wife like?” There was a swarm of reporters outside his building and any sleep that Wayne was feeling before was long gone. They were bombarding him with questions and his bodyguards had to come to his aid by pushing them away from him so they wouldn't hurt him. “One question at a time. Calm down.” He finally managed to calm them down and listen to them. “Mr Wayne, what do you have to say about the rumors that you're married?” Wayne sighed. He knew it was going to come out sooner or later. He just wished it would have happened on a day when he wasn't so tired. “I’m happy to assure you that they're all rumors. I'm still a bachelor and I haven't ever been married in

LUCIANKira started working immediately on the information we had. Now, I knew that the only reason why River took Nathan was because he wanted his delusion of a family to be complete. Beneath the picture of River, Nathan had began drawing the picture of someone. The face wasn't complete, probably because he ran out of time but he wrote the word “spy” in very small letters. Kira was she knew who noticed it and showed it to me. I have such a smart boy. So now I know that he spy motion wasn't a goose chase. Nathan knows who the person is or else, he wont have written that. “The pictures have been circulated around the pack. Soon, we'll have news about their girl and who's child she is. In the mean time, more gifts arrived.”I'd spent the last few days, visiting all the kids that had been returned to their parents. Since I wasn't there for them when they were taken, the least I could do was to see them when they were returned. I knew if Eve was here, that's what she'd do. “Lucian,

ROMANI didn't go anywhere today. I wanted to spend the day with my kids, just being with them and playing with them. School was back in session and it felt good that they came back home to me. Since it was just me for now, I didn't have a choice but to look after every aspect of their life even down to little details. Quinn says I should let the maids handle it but I can't. I can't leave my kids to other people to take care of them. I felt the responsibility to be there for them when they needed me. I didn't have anyone to take care of me. My father didn't exactly give two shits when it came to me and I didn't want a life like that for my kids. I wanted them to know that their father thought about them and loved them. My kids were the only reason I did everything I did, they were the reason I worked hard to be a better man.. I wanted to show them just how much I cared about them. As for Eden, I don't even know what to do about it. I didn't know what to say about her and I didn't

ALPHA DIMITRIShe had fallen asleep at some point during the night. After I'd pulled her closer to me, I could feel her body temsedd and even though I told her to relax, I could still hear her rapid breathing.I'd quietly gotten out of bed so as not to wake her up and to disappear before she did. Just as I was done dressing up, there was a knock on the door and I cursed underneath my breath, wondering who the hell that could be and what they could want. Luckily, Ally didn't wake up and I rushed to the door to stop the person from knocking again. “What?!” I spat. It was a maid and she moved back a bit at my tone. “Good morning, Alpha. My apologies for the disturbance but there's someone here to see you."“At this time?” It wasn't even eight in the morning “Who the hell could it be?" “It’s Princess Violet.”What? Violet? After the warning I'd given her yesterday? She still had the guts to ahoe her face here? That woman had some guys. “Tell her that I'm busy. I can't see her righ
