Zane's POV

I maintained a steady, unwavering stare down with the pretentious guy who had barged in trying to act as if he owned the place. I don't know why he felt he needed to mark his territory but I wasn't one to back down on any kind of challenge so I obliged him. The evening had taken an unexpected turn and I found myself struggling to maintain my usually impeccable composure ever since the arrival of Ms. Ryder's so-called ‘oldest and dearest friend’.

Ever the perceptive and genius child, my son Jayden, must have sensed my growing irritation because he suddenly cleared his throat, drawing my attention away from the pretentious guy across the table.

“Dad,” he began in his usual steady and mature voice that is way beyond his young age. “I have been thinking… perhaps Eleanor could also attend my school?”

A surge of pride instantly overcame me. Indeed my son is a genius! This idea is just perfect! This will not only solve the issue of Eleanor’s daytime care that has been at the bac

    Trina's POV Standing at the kitchen sink, I submerged my hands into soapy water as I scrubbed at a stubborn stain on a pot. The house was now quiet and the atmosphere a bit more breathable since my impromptu guests have left.However, not all the tension has disappeared as I could still sense that something was bugging Justin as he gathered the remaining dishes from the table and brought them to the kitchen.When he kept them on the counter and started rinsing the plates I have already washed, he finally voiced out what was in his mind in his usual gentle tone.“I still can't believe you accepted that job, Tri.”I sighed, my shoulders drooping as I momentarily halted in scrubbing the pot.“Oof, here we go again! C’mon Justin, we’ve gone through this already. I know it sounds a bit odd, even I thought so at first but after careful consideration, I have made up my mind. This is a great opportunity for me, both at the hotel and as his personal chef.”"Personal chef, huh?" Tylor rolled h

    Trina’s POV Upon checking the screen of my Samsung, a frown appeared on my face as it's an unknown number. Shrugging, I pressed the green button and even before I said ‘hello’, I heard a familiar small voice say,“Trina, it's me Jayden. Hope I’m not disturbing you at this late hour after all that hard work you did?”A small smile graced my face. This young boy is just too mature and adorable!“No, Jayden, not at all. Hope you and your dad got back home safely?” As soon as I mentioned Jayden's name, Justin stopped washing the dishes and abruptly snapped his head towards me. He quickly signaled me to put it on handsfree speaker and I simply obliged him.“Yes, we did, thank you. I just wanted to follow up on what my dad discussed with you earlier. I would like you to start working from our residence tomorrow. I need you to prepare breakfast and also a lunch pack that I’d take to school. I hate the food they serve in the cafeteria. My personal chauffeur will be sent to pick you up in th

    Trina’s POV My heart instantly skipped a beat when I saw the intense and serious look in Justin’s blue eyes as he said that. Yikes! I just hope this isn't what I'm thinking it is— the moment I have been dreading for six years now. The moment that Justin confesses his feelings and hence, destroy our very good best-friends relationship since I can never reciprocate his feelings.I don't know when I stuttered. “W…what condition, Justin?”He took a deep breath before asserting in a firm tone, with his eyes still locked on mine.“You have to tell Mr. McAllister that I am your boyfriend, just incase he asks.”I finally released the breath that I wasn't aware I was holding. Thank God it isn't really a confession which I would have to reject! In order to lighten the mood that has suddenly turned too serious for my liking, I rolled my eyes at him.“Don’t be so ridiculous, Tin-tin! Why on earth would my boss ask me such an absurd question?! In case you’ve forgotten, he and I are merely boss a

The call I received two months ago from Justin when I was still in Paris, my return, the job offer and now Justin's warning. Taking a deep breath, I asked myself, did I make the right decision? Is it really worth taking the risk? But then, as the memories of what happened two months ago came flooding back to me, I knew I just had to do it. This is a leap of faith that I will gladly take for the sake of my beloved family…Two months ago, I became very worried when I couldn't reach either Mason or Aunt Pamela anymore. Panicked, I asked Justin to help me investigate and find out why my brother and his guardian were both unreachable. And a few days later, the call that made my world come crashing down around me had come. Justin's voice had been heavy with the burden of tragic and devastating news he was about to deliver."Trina" he had said, his words careful and measured, "I'm so sorr

    Trina’s POV The buzzing sound of the alarm jolted me awake. As I sat up on the bed, stretching and yawning, I realized that it was still dark outside as there's no sign of morning light through the curtains. However, I know I just couldn't afford to be lazy enough to lay back down as today is the D-day– my first day working for the enigmatic Mr. McAllister.I made my way to Eleanor’s room, gently rousing her. "Wake up, sweetie. It's time for our new adventure!"Ella rubbed her eyes, confusion giving way to excitement as she remembered. "We're going to the big house today, right, Mummy?""That's right, baby. Now, let's get you dressed in your prettiest dress!"An hour later, we were all set and ready and as soon as we heard a car stop, we quickly got out. A black Rolls Royce had pulled up, and Randolph emerged from the passenger seat with a smile on his face."Good morning, Ms. Trina, Miss Eleanor. Are you ready for your first day?"After exchanging pleasantries, we got into the sleek

    Trina's POV Taking a deep breath, I made my way back to the ultra-modern kitchen with the tray. To my relief, the friendly housekeeper, Lila, had returned to the kitchen and so together, we snacked on the desserts and coffee while having small talk.Later, Lila went about her duties, leaving me to start prepping for lunch. I felt kind of lonely when she left because the vastness of the mansion, the opulence and splendor… it all made me feel overwhelmed. Though I was born in wealth, my scheming father and stepmom never let us enjoy our mother's vast wealth and hence, I'm not used to such opulence. However, as I moved through the kitchen, preparing lunch, I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of belonging. The atmosphere in the grand mansion is quite welcoming and the occupants very accommodating.In fact, the way all the domestic staff treated me, it was quite amazing. Just like they did earlier when I made breakfast, no sooner had I finished cooking lunch than Sally and Anna came

And as Anna and Sally helped me set the table, I carefully set Mr. McAllister’s own portion of the meals in a very attractive set of food warmers I found in one of the kitchen cabinets.And later as we sat down to dinner, I couldn't help but smile as I watched Eleanor choose a seat right next to Jayden on the large, exquisite dining table that could accommodate up to thirty dinner guests. She had really taken a huge liking to him, almost as if she looked up to him as her idol and role model ever since they met. Was it just yesterday? It feels like ages ago due to how close we’ve all gotten in such a short time!But as the three of us were all seated, my gaze shifted to Randolph, Lila, Sally and Anna who were all standing dutifully at attention near the wall.

    Trina’s POV After her proclamation, Aunt Livvy wasted no time at all. The moment both Mason and I nodded our heads in agreement that Mom really deserved the grand funeral she had been cruelly denied, Aunt Livvy immediately sprang into action. She handled everything with a precision that portrayed her years of experience of managing the Caldwell empire and also, her deep love for her niece Sarah Caldwell Ryder. Within hours, she had called the archbishop, contacted every relative and every family friend across the country, arranged for caterers, and ensured that media outlets announced the passing of the Caldwell heiress to the world. The obituary was finalized, and invitations were sent far and wide. What surprised me is that as soon as she made those calls, even those people who had never once shown interest in my mother’s well-being while she was alive now clamored to attend her funeral after hearing that she was the Caldwell heiress!By the time Aunt Livvy finally finished all he

    Trina’s POV From the address Aunt Livvy sent to me, I know she lives about an hour and a half drive away from my house. But when I inputted the address on the Google maps and let it direct us, it felt as if the drive to her estate was much longer than the hour and a half that I had estimated. Or perhaps it is because of the daunting task ahead of both Mason and I… of breaking the news of Mom's death to her loving aunt, that I felt so.As I drove, I kept biting my lower lip at intervals, which is a nervous habit I got from none other than Dad himself. Shaking my head as if to get rid of the numerous thoughts buzzing in it, I turned to the side, stealing a glance at Mason who was sitting at the passenger seat beside me. Just like me, he had been silent for a long while now, deep in thoughts. He was staring out of the window and I could see his clenched fists tightly around the large envelope containing the stack of letters we brought with us. I know exactly what he was thinking becaus

And this latest revelation about our late Mom being the sole heir to the vast multi-billion dollar Caldwell empire left me feeling completely drained, yet somehow more complete than I had felt in years because even if nothing, I have come to realize that my late Mom wasn’t really abandoned completely by her family as we had thought. All that while when both she and I thought she had no one but Mason and I, her aunt and father had secretly been yearning for her and loving her in secret. The only sad thing is that Mom never got to know this before she died, all thanks to that devil incarnate Emily Ryder!Heaving a deep sigh, I turned to Mason, my dear younger brother who was also as emotionally drained as I was. Then in a tired voice, I said. “What do you think we should do now, Mas? This… this is something I hav

    Trina's POV The morning started as it always did this past few weeks since both of my children started living with me. It was chaotic, noisy, and filled with the usual back and forth of both the silent whizz kid Jayden and chatterbox Eleanor getting ready for school. Between helping Eleanor finding her misplaced shoes, reminding her about her forgotten lunchbox, listening to the mild bickering between the two siblings and last minute homework checks for Eleanor, I barely had time to dwell on my own thoughts. Mason and I drove them to school, with the car filled with Eleanor's usual cheerful chatter and Jayden’s occasional interjections. When we arrived, my little munchkin, as always, hugged and kissed me goodbye before she turned to do the same to Mason. After pecking him on both cheeks, she pulled back and raised her little finger at him in a warning gesture, saying, “Don’t you dare pull another one of your disappearing stunts on me again. You had better be right here in this car

    Trina's POV Before I could react to her loud squeal of delight, my mischievous little munchkin had already sprinted towards us, with her little feet barely touching the ground as she literally flew to my brother. She crashed directly into Mason’s waist, with her arms automatically wrapping themselves tightly around him. Caught off guard, Mason almost stumbled back but due to his physique and balance, he fortunately didn't. He laughed out loud, obviously very pleasantly surprised as he exclaimed and greeted. “Whoa! Hi there, Princess Eleanor!” Hearing her beloved nickname, Eleanor instantly beamed. She tilted her head up at him, with her doe-like light blue eyes shimmering with awe. “It’s really you?” she whispered, before tightening her little arms around him, as if afraid he might vanish. With a huge, pleasant grin on his face, Mason knelt down to her level, and in a very soft and gentle voice, addressed her. “Yeah, kiddo. It’s really me.”She instantly threw her arms around h

    Trina’s POVFor a prolonged time after we finished our discussions and staggering revelations to each other, Mason and I just remained sitting in the living room, not doing or saying anything more as we were still trying to process the tangled mess of truths and revelations that had we had unraveled to each other in the past few hours. I have no idea what was going on in Mason's mind but as for me, my own mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts which were mostly questions that I have no immediate answers for. Like what step should Mason and I take now after knowing all that we have come to know today. Just then, out of the blue, the sharp ding of the oven timer broke through the silence. At first, my brows furrowed in confusion as I was momentarily disoriented before I suddenly remembered what I was doing before Mason arrived.I exhaled deeply. Of course, it's the chocolate cheesecake. I have completely forgotten about it! Grateful for the distraction, I quickly stood up and made

    Zane's POV The lawyer just sighed and shook his head before responding. “The only reason why you didn't find any evidence of that is because you only looked into his past, Sir. You didn’t check what he was currently doing in secret. If you had, your investigators, who I know are the best, would have definitely found it.” He paused before adding, “And as for his terrified reaction when you exposed the dirt in his name and everything else... it wasn’t because he was devastated that he had just lost money for himself, Sir. No, not at all. It was actually because of Ms. Sarah’s two children who are now the inheritors of the company, according to the last will Ms. Sarah had made before she went into a coma. The truth is, he was busy working very hard behind the scenes, desperately trying to source legitimate funds to clear all the debts and also erase all those crimes you uncovered which Emily had committed in his name, just to make sure that the company was completely clean before handi

  • My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy   Chapter Hundred And Twenty-six: Confrontation

    Zane's POV I couldn't believe what my ears just heard. Duncan Ryder was trying to divorce the woman he loved so much that he tortured his own daughter and previous wife because of her? Is it because he had finally discovered that she never really loved him and was only just using him as the means to an end? Is the puppet trying to free himself from the clutches of his puppet mistress who had been pulling his strings and playing him as a fool all this while?The lawyer solemnly nodded and reiterated. “Yes, Duncan Ryder is definitely divorcing his wife. In fact, he had secretly started the process a long time ago. But after his ex-wife's sudden death, he was forced to halt everything because he wanted to conduct a secret investigation about her mysterious death first and didn’t want his wife Emily to suspect anything.” Hearing that, my brows instantly furrowed. Something about this didn't sit right with me. So in a cool voice, I ordered. “Elaborate.” The lawyer sighed as if preparing

    Zane's POV Even though every single fiber of my being screamed at me to go after Duncan Ryder and demand answers about what had just transpired between him and Trina and why both of them had looked so shaken after he had left, I just couldn’t bring myself to leave. At least not yet. Not without making sure Trina was okay first. I knew that even if I did leave to chase after him, my mind would still be stuck here with her. So, instead of going myself, I spoke into my earpiece, giving my bodyguard Don a direct order. He had followed my car on his power bike and was the perfect man for the job. “Tail him.” I said to him. “Report to me about every place he goes and every single thing he does.” Don instantly responded, “Roger that, Sir.”And as he revved off his power bike and immediately zoomed after Duncan Ryder, I refocused my attention back on the house. Through the thin curtains, I could see Trina still sitting frozen in the exact same position she had collapsed into earlier.
