Mommy, I've found daddy. CHAPTER 26
ELLA'S POV The grip on my wrist was tight— too tight. I couldn't help but feel a lash of pain as Kelvin's fingers dug deeper into my skin. I noticed a sly smile on the corners of his lips which made my stomach churn. I'd always known he had a thing for me but never did I for once knew he was this obsessed. His eyes were burning lust, rage and another emotion I couldn't quite reach.“Let go of me,” I tried to must as much courage as I could. I pulled from his grip but that didn't work, his fingers only dug deeper into the surface of my body.“Ella, you’re with some rich guy now, huh? Think you’re too good for people like me?” His voice was a low growl, oozing with bitterness and something darker that made my stomach twist. I tried to pull away, but his hold only tightened. “Let go of me, Kelvin,” I demanded, struggling to keep my voice steady. “You shouldn’t even be here.”He sneered, leaning in closer, the smell of stale alcohol on his breath. “Doesn’t matter how I got here. What ma

XAVIER'S POVElla was a lot of things— stubborn, naive, strong. But never did I expect her to be this challenging. But I'm never the type to back down easily from a challenge, three months was more than enough to make Ella mine, to remind her of that fact.She looked sexy in that dress, her curves were highlighted, and her figure was damn attractive on those stilettos. The sight of her purred something deep in me— attraction, lust, maybe. I watched her eyes flicker in an uncertain direction as I swivel in the opposite direction heading towards the mini bar.Reach forward, I shot a glance at the bar man and waved my fingers. “A shot of whiskey.” I watched the bar man fidget as he got to the job. His fingers were shaky, almost like he was alarmed by my presence. Well, everyone did. I watched him pour the golden brown liquid into a shot glass as I reached for the glass raising it. In one swift attempt, I gulped down the entire shot, the whisky's sli

ELLA'S POV I was startled awake by the sound of Ivy's excited yell. "Daddy!"The word echoed in my sleepy mind, pulling me from the remnants of a dream. My eyelids fluttered open, and I was met with the blinding morning sunlight pouring through the window. A disoriented yawn escaped me as I stretched, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. My body felt heavy, reluctant to leave the warmth of the bed, but Ivy's voice had already set the day in motion.I dragged myself out of bed and padded softly to the door, curious about what had her so excited this early. As I reached the hallway, I froze, my breath catching in my throat at the sight before me.Xavier, in all his strikingly handsome glory, was crouched down on the floor, playing an energetic game of hide and seek with Ivy. The way he moved with grace and ease, his sharp features softened by a rare smile, made it hard to believe this was the same man who usually exuded such coldness. Ivy was giggling uncontrollably as she darted around th

ELLA'S POV "Trust me, Ella. You have no idea what’s coming."A cold gust of wind hits me from behind as Xavier's words sank deeper into my mind. The pen in my hand now felt chillingly cold, my pulse racing as I turned my gaze back to the view of Xavier, my husband or should I say, my contract husband.The main reason I agreed to marry him was to secure my daughter's future. I had no other choice, a contract marriage with Xavier seemed to be the only way out. Our marriage, according to the contract's rules, didn't harbor any forms of emotional entanglement. Xavier's gaze held mine as he walked closer. My neck hair stiffened upon his presence as I started up to be met by his electrifying green eyes. My breath came out in shallow pumps as he closed the gap between us. I tried to pull backward as he pulls me closer causing me to run into his hard chest. "I'm not playing your games Xavier," I mustered, the words skittering out as I watched him break into a dark chuckle. I expected him

XAVIER'S POV.I noticed the flutter in her eyes as I pulled back. "Oh, but I do, Ella. And soon, you'll see that for yourself." I heaved gruffly turning in the direction of the exit. I led the way as Ella followed, and in no time, we were at the parking lot where the car had been parked. As we proceeded towards the car, I couldn’t help but notice the uncertainty flickering in her blue eyes. The hesitation, the way her lips twitched as if she wanted to say something but held back, only made me want her more. My gaze drifted down to those cherry-red lips, so soft, so perfectly kissable. I knew exactly what they felt like, and the memory made something primal stir inside me. She had no idea how easily she drew me in, how every little movement, every unsure glance, made me want to pin her against the car and kiss her until she was breathless. Her body was irresistible, curves that fit against mine like they were made for me. I imagined those same lips parted in pleasure, gasping my na

ELLA'S POV "IVY IS MISSING!" The babysitter's voice pierced through me like a knife. My jaw fell slightly as I tried my best to have a grip over my emotions but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I felt a spasm of pain reflect over my shoulders as my breath hitched in my throat. "What do you mean, she's missing?" I heard Xavier's voice pierce the thin silence that braced my ears. I jolted back to reality, the panic gripping me. "We left her in your care," I pressed, my voice trembling. The babysitter’s face crumpled, her eyes welling up with tears. She looked helpless, and for a split second, I felt sorry for her—but fear quickly drowned out the sympathy. My chest tightened as I glanced at Xavier. His face had darkened, and his jaw clenched so tight I thought it might crack. "How could you let this happen?" His voice was low but carried a dangerous edge, sharp enough to make anyone shrink back. He stepped toward the babysitter, his presence filling the room with tension.

ELLA'S POV And then, just like that, a memory sparked in my head. "Sweet Swirls," I whispered, barely audibly.Xavier raised an eyebrow. "What?""She loves going there. The ice cream place. Sweet Swirls." The pieces clicked into place in my head, and for a moment, I had a glimmer of hope. "It's where she always goes when she's upset. I should've thought of it sooner.We didn't spend another second, bolting to my rusty old car. Xavier stopped and eyed it disdainfully, but I couldn't care less."You can either get in or you can stay here," I snarled, wrenching open the door.He slid onto the worn seat, didn't say a word. We peeled out toward Sweet Swirls, my old car protesting the strain. Xavier didn't say one word during the ride, but I can tell he looked over a million times at me, thinking of a hundred things, yet not saying anything. My hands were tight on the steering wheel as I zoomed he car past the streets, my mind consumed with thoughts of Ivy.We finally reached the destinati

XAVIER'S POV I heaved a slight sigh as I drove the car into the clear street walk of the estate, my estate. My hands clutched tightly on the steering wheel, my mind a thousand miles away and bogged down with the weight of all that happened today-marriage, Ivy, the omen of a storm about the president's request-assailed my attention with gnawing tenacity.As I approached the McKinney mansion, the familiar iron gates swung open with their usual mechanical precision, ushering me into the world I’d always known—a world built on legacy, power, and control. The McKinney estate stood before me like a fortress, cold and imposing against the night sky, a reminder of the weight I carried. My grandfather’s legacy. My legacy.I parked the car and stepped out, straightening my jacket as the mansion’s towering facade loomed above me. This place, my family’s empire, had always felt like a battlefield—one where only the strongest survived. My jaw tightened as I approached the grand doors, pushing t

MADAME BROWNE'S POV As I steered awake, the receding beeps of a life machine blared into my ears. Stretching my fingers, I blocked out the noise and winced out as a low groan tore through my lips. My eyelids pulled open and as I glared at the room I was in, realization pulled into my veins.I was in a hospital.A god-damned hospital room.I shook my head countless times in disbelief as I glanced around. The sight of hospital beds and the reeking scent of disinfectant confirmed each and every one of my fears. Where was Lucas? Did he kill Xavier and most importantly, why was I here?As I tried to recall all that had happened the day before, I heard the sound of voices outside the room. “She is coming around sir. Within the next two days, she should be able to walk and function well that way, she can be discharged earlier.”The voice that had just spoken was obviously that of a doctor or some male nurse. The level of coldness in it was enough to hint that the person speaking clearly di
Mommy, I've found daddy. CHAPTER 271
ELLA'S POV When my eyes fluttered open, the first sight I caught was that of the man standing by the other end of the room. Even now, I still couldn't believe it was really him. The last time I passed out, I remembered thinking it was all some hallucination but now, I could see it clearly.Really. Clearly.He was standing right there, arms crossed with eyes as dark as night. Despite the heavy beating of my heart in my chest, I managed to pull myself together. I struggled up to my shaky feet and the instant I regained my long gone balance, I raised my head to meet his gaze.The president stood at the end of the hallway. The instant our eyes met his eyes, once hollow with darkness, lightened up as he inched towards me. As he paced forward, I took notice of his walking pattern. I was expecting his steps to come off a bit shaky but instead, they were firm and resounding. His shoes clapped against the marbled floors and as the clip-clapping sound they made trudged through the air, I felt

MR MCKINNEY'S POV That was a close call. If I hadn't arrived earlier, Lucas would have shot Xavier and sent him to an early grave like he had done to his brother. David. Up till today, I still blamed myself for indulging Lucas. I tried all my best to make him the best version possible but like a branch from a wild tree, he bred thorns and now, those thorns were pressing close to my sides.When I saw him pointing a gun at Xavier, I nearly lost it. How dare he? At that moment, I decided cowardice was no longer an option. I was hesitant to report him to the police just because I was scared when he'd come out, he'd try to harm Xavier but that didn't get me anywhere.I'd try to hide Xavier from him at every turn. I'd done it all. Abroad masterclasses, foreign education just name it. But even after all I did, the same confrontation I had tried very hard to escape was now facing me.Before Lucas could pull the trigger, I cocked my gun and slammed a bullet into his arm. As I watched him win

LUCAS'S POV I couldn't believe it.My father actually shot me.How dare he?Before I could react, I felt a sharp prickling pain in the part of my arm the bullet had been logged into. A loud groan rolled out of my lips as I winced loudly and closed my eyes to subdue the pain. My eyes reddened as I felt my knees buckle as fatigue spiraled into my veins.With my heart racing in my chest, I felt blood ooze out of my body as I began to feel dizzy. I tried to hold on to my gun, to shoot, but my fingers gave out weakly. Groaning once again, I stretched my uninjured hand and gripped the edge of the long meeting table. My fingers scratched against the table's rough textures as I opened my eyes.My lashes flustered open and the first sight I caught was that of him. The president. My own father. He was danding opposite me, his arm still raised with the edge of his bullet oozing out smoke.Blowing it out like a professional, he tucked it back into his pockets and shot me a glance. His eyes shimm

XAVIER'S POV As I jammed my eyes close, I heard the loud barking sound of the gun as a bullet launched in my direction. My heart palpitated in my chest as I heaved out a heavy sigh and edged away from the spot before it could get anywhere near me.If I was going to win this election and actually come out victorious as the winner, I had to be sharp witted. Lucas's gun was well aimed and one miscalculated error could cost me my life. I ducked over as I rolled over to the other side of the room, as my back rolled over the floor, I quickly got back on my foot and clenched my fists. “Lucky you, I still have 3 bullets Xavier. I can go on all day, let's see how many bullets you can dodge.” The sharp, gritty beam of his voice beamed into my ears as I stiffened. A sharp shot of adrenaline launched into my veins as a cold chill ran down my spine. Slowly, I muster up the courage to open my eyes and when I finally did, I heard a sound.It first sounded like a creak but later, it soon morphed i

XAVIER'S POV “Security!” A loud beam tore through the fog of tension in the room as I paused in my tracks. My lips pulled into a dark grin and my eyes darkened as I shot a glance at my assistant, Alex, who stood close to the screen, fidgeting like a winter leaf. “Have you fixed it?” I asked, my voice calm and steady as a lump of adrenaline formed in my chest. Taking in a slow whiff of air, I sigh and rolled my eyes as rage pooled into my vein.My clenched fists tightened as I maintained my stance, arms tucked around each other. Staring back at his lean figure, I waited patiently, holding onto an imaginary string of restraint as I felt my patience wear off.There wasn't much time left. I had to get this done with.“You know what? Pass it over!” I lashed out in a rising tone that had him flinch fearfully as he stretched his hands and passed the phone over to me. I received it sharply with my fingers wrapping around the structure of my phone as I heard the sound of boots stomping aga
Mommy, I've found daddy. CHAPTER 266
XAVIER'S POV My heart raced in my chest as heavy gasps of air rippled through my lips. Nothing in God's green earth could have warned me of what was about to come. I clenched my fists tightly and sighed as the announcer’s gaze raked over my features. As I felt the scrutiny of his gaze brush over my features, I raised my head and stared back at him.The announcer's eyes twitched as I met his gaze. Something in his eyes warned me. I could read his emotions like pages of a book. His eyes glistened with remorse and as I took note of the glints in his eyes, I noticed something. It was dark and shaky. A glint. Before I could decipher what it really was, his eyes wavered off my figure and darted in the direction behind me.My head dropped as fatigue licked at my bones. I tried to hold it in, to ignore it but it glared right back at me. I already knew my fate. It was obvious he had been bribed or even threatened by Madame Browne and Lucas.It was already crystal clear now.In this game, I wa

XAVIER'S POV When it was time to cast the votes, I watched the shareholders all turn towards one direction. His direction. They all headed towards the board and slowly, I watched them pace towards the box for Lucas. He sat at the end of the room, his eyes glistening with contempt as Madame Browne's hands snaked around his shoulders.Her gaze loomed over my figure. I felt my heart race in my chest as the first shareholder to be called out, voted for Lucas. The voter in question walked back to his seat with his head lowered in shame. Disappointment flashed in my eyes as rage seared into my veins but I held myself back.Closing my eyes, I whispered to no one but myself, “We can do this Xavier.” I tried to believe my own words but the question that lingered in my chest was could I really do it? Madame Browne and Lucas seemed to have sealed the lips of most of the shareholders. It was obvious they had bribed some of them.I could tell.The pale look etched into the face of the others gav
Mommy, I've found daddy. CHAPTER 264
ELLA'S POV I was ready for what was about to come.I knew where this would lead me and I wasn't scared to strut in its path. The smell of lavender reeked into my nostrils as I sniffled softly, my chest heaving. I clutch my hands to my sides as my fingers fisted the sides of my dress for comfort but I received none.The fabric of my dress braced the back of my palm. At first, my grip was uptight but with time, my palm soon became greasy with perspiration. I began to lose my grip over the loose fabric of my dress.I tried to hold on. To have it stay longer but before I knew it, the fabric faded I could still feel the nerving sensation the edge of her dagger sent through me. It lashed through my insides, waves sliding down my spine as I steeled myself for what was about to come. I knew it was already going to be like this someday.My eyes were closed but I could feel the flaming warmth of her breaths. It hit me, hot and blazing. The warmth saddled away all the hope I had left.I waite
