Somewhere in Mexico, He had just finished a business conference call, dressed in a fancy bath robe when he got a video call request from the person he had appointed as supervisor somewhere in Oslo.The name read; Jaxson, and so he took the call without hesitation.A few seconds later, the picture was up o a huge 75 inch Television which he had connected his phone to, and Jaxson, who was smiling widely, greeted him."Hello Sir, how have you been doing?" He asked, his gaze not meeting the screen, but rather, at the floor."Pleasant." Came his pale response. "How's things with the journalist department? Were you people finally able to be competent and get me a good story?""Eh, about that Sir," The head journalist stuttered a bit under his boss's gaze. "We were able to secure the company a story, a rather juicy one at that, but along the line while recording with the client, Journalist Winslow had a issue, now she's being restricted from uploading the story."The man in the bathrobe rais

A week had gone by since Leonica's interview with Florence. During those seven days, nothing noticeable had happened and because of that, Leonica was just about thinking that her love was finally settling down.But that was wishful thinking. A month couldn't go by in her life without drama, Leonica knew this much after getting to the hospital for Ashley's monthly checkup and being informed that his condition hadn't improved, in fact, it had worsened."How is this possible?" She questioned, her expression full of worry as she held onto her son's hand. "You said everything was okay as long as he took his meds. A few years, you said." She was speaking with Doctor Bailey, who at this moment couldn't even explain why Ashley's condition had suddenly deteriorated.It was like there was a hidden factor driving his condition in the wrong way.Malnutrition? Certainly not. Lack of love from his guardian? Strong doubt, Leonica looked like the type of mother that would dote on her son all day long

The parents didn’t say anything, neither did their children, but the silence didn’t last long, not when Agatha had finally found her voice.“Mrs. Lance and Mrs. Browder, would you kindly take a seat, same goes for the rest of you.” She instructed, and with a slight hesitation, the parents followed her orders, although their expressions showed how nervous they were.“Now,” Agatha turned to face Leonica, her face showing a clear expression of respect. “This is Ms. Romero, the mother of Ashley Romero, and a few days ago, your children,” She pointed at the kids seated beside their parents. “And Ashley had a little, misunderstanding.”“It was no misunderstanding,” Leonica boldly interrupted, scanning each and everyone of the parent and their children present. “My son, Ashley, was verbally bullied by your children who haven’t been trained enough to know the right words to use on their peers.”“Ha! How outrageous!” One of the parents who Leonica recognized as Georgina Browder, raged. “Haven’

The meeting, although seemed brief, had lasted a few hours. At the conclusion of it all, Leonica stood outside of Ashley's cl*ssroom, watching as both mother children apologized to him.Smart people, she thought recalling how they had all chosen to apologize to Ashley rather than transferring schools and risking their child not being accepted in any other school, they chose the right choice."Watching from away, one would think you're abusing your power." A voice commented from behind her, and a small smile made its way to her lips."Is there a problem with that?" She asked turning to face Arvan. "Misusing my authority to protect my child?"Arvan smiled and walked towards her. "No," He whispered, stopping inches away from her. "I find it rather, admirable."She couldn't help but laugh at his response. "Admirable." With a shake of her head, she dismissed the topic. "Did you come here to see Daisy?"Arvan's expression slumped a bit at the mention of said child, but he nodded. "Yes. Thei

"R-romero Empire?" Jaxson stammered. "But sir," He paused, thinking of the perfect way to word his next sentence. "But sir, surely you're aware of the recent event that happened? The event regarding Tyche Smith.""Of course, who isn't. But that is none of my business. What is, Is Benjamin Romero's life." His words confused Jaxson.Benjamin Romero? As in the previous Owner of Romero Empire?"Get me information on him Jaxson and when I mean information, I don’t mean the ones you can easily find online. Get me something interesting.""But sir, Benjamin Romero isn't the head of Romero Empire anymore." Jaxson finally voiced his thoughts."Of course I know that," His boss answered confidently as he crossed his leg and gave him a look that told him, he had something up his sleeve.Jaxson didn't question him, because as a wise man once said, curiosity kills the cat."Alright, I'll do my best." Standing up, he bowed. "If that's all, I'll be on my way."He didn't wait for a response, because he

The look that rested on Gabriel’s face after Doctor Bailey’s words was like that of a doll turning on its neutral expression.It was unreadable.“I beg your pardon?”“Your memories,” Doctor Bailey began, now doubting what he had seen earlier on when he asked Gabriel a question that he could only have remembered if he had his memories. “They’ve come back, haven’t they?”Gabriel smiled, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Doctor Bailey, I suggest you stop making assumptions, especially ones that could potentially hurt a person’s reputation.”Doctor Bailey found himself speechless as Gabriel stepped forward and placed his hand on the elderly man’s shoulder.“What type of person would I turn out to be if I regained my memories and didn’t inform you or Leonica? Don’t you think it’s a problem that could potentially ruin my name? Or worse, lose people close to me?” He whispered and squeezed his shoulder.“I-I apologize Mr. Bryce,” Doctor Bailey stammered. “It was wrong of me to jump into co

The sound of Leonica's palm making contact with the supposed stranger's left cheek was what drew every single person present out of the haze they had been put in after witnessing what he had just done.Staggering a few steps back due to the impact, he covered his stinging cheek, while Leonica spat on the floor, going the extra mile to wipe her lips to show how much his act disgusted her."I don't know who you are, but you should have at least known better than to do something like that, especially with someone like me. Don't you think that's a bit reckless?"Jaxson swallowed thickly, not knowing what was happening as the other three people in the room stared at the CEO with shock in their eyes."Florence?" Leonica called, catching the other female off guard. "Is your boss crazy?"Florence remained silent at the question, not because she was too afraid to answer, but rather because even she didn't know the answer to the question.I mean, who kisses someone they just met out of nowhere?
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 170 Benjamin Romero Has A Love Child.
The first ever boy Leonica had brought home during her high school days was Jamil Vanadas.His appearance; tall, tanned skinned, slightly curly brown hair that accentuated his popping blue eyes.The typical look for spoilt high school bullies. The look that Benjamin and Cassandra Romero, didn’t like.So of course, they weren’t big fans of the idea… of him and weren’t hesitant about showing their disapproval.At that time, Owen had just begun his second year in his school and just like Leonica’s parents, he was also against their relationship. For his own reasons of course.So when word reached him a few months later that Leonica had broken up with Jamil because of how insecure he was of her, family wealth, smartness and all, Owen was glad.He was more than glad.So now, staring right at the very same person he was glad Leonica had gotten rid of, he wasn’t very pleased.Jamil however, didn’t seem to recognize Owen and simply gave him a smile, then turned back to Leonica.“Leonie,” He c

Anastasia had fallen asleep after her call with Megan, only to be awoken to the sound of someone knocking on her front door.Reluctantly, she slipped out of bed and made her way towards the front door and without checking who was at the door, opened it.When her eyes landed on the person standing in front of her, her expression switched from surprised to angry, then back to surprise, because she had not expected to see her mother standing in front of her door after so long.“At times I want to believe that you’re blind to my call, but then I see you winning all these cases on national Television and realize, oh wait, my daughter does have eyes.” Pushing her way into Anastasia’s apartment, Fiona dropped her purse and coat on the chair and turned to face her daughter. “Give me one good reason why you’ve been avoiding my calls?”“Didn’t Mason pass along my message?” Anastasia questioned, closing the door and heading to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.While doing so, she did

Whatever dark, alcohol induced thought that had been roaming Anastasia’s mind was dashed the moment she gave Lloyd the pass code to her apartment and instead of doing anything when he arrived at her room, he simply tucked her underneath the duvet and sighed.“You’re really a case.” He mumbled underneath his breath, but she clearly heard it, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, she caught his wrist.“You’re leaving? You’re not gonna do anything?” She had blurted out the question before she could control her own words and in seconds, she wished for the bed to open up and swallow her.Gosh, why had she said that?The alcohol, yeah, it is as definitely the alcohol!“Do you want me to stay?” Lloyd’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “Do you want me to stay, Anastasia?” He repeated when she remained silent.Her grip around his wrist loosened and Lloyd nodded.Of course she didn’t want him to stay. That was simply the alcohol in her system talking.Swallowing the bitter pill, he

Lloyd’s words had instantly sent Anastasia’s heart into an overdrive. Without even needing to focus on it, she could feel her heart beating hard against her chest, shaken up by his words, his proximity and the look in her eyes.And it scared her.Not Lloyd, but rather the familial pounding of her heart and the fluttering in her stomach, because she knew it all too well and it was a feeling she feared.It was the same feelings that had caused her unfortunate relationship with Derek.Those memories flashed within her mind and before Anastasia knew it, she had paled.Lloyd didn’t fail to notice this and in seconds, his expression changed into concern. But before he could say anything, she had broken free from his hold and stood up, walking towards her door and holding it open.“Get out.” She demanded.Lloyd was surprised by the sudden shift in her attitude. Just a few seconds ago, she seemed pissed at him, now the look in her eyes made it seem like she was trying to be on guard against h

Shrouded by the darkness her office provided after lights out, with her eyes glued to the bright screen of her laptop, Anastasia replayed the CCTV footage she had gotten from Danco.She studied the man’s movement, how he had approached Logan, his face shaded by the black hoodie he wore. She paused the video during moments of their interaction, trying to read the lips of Logan.It was clear he rejected at first. He even looked appealed by the idea. But then his eyes suddenly showed the interest that had sipped into his mind after heading something that he hooded figure had told him.What could it have been? Anastasia wondered as she watched the part of their interaction where Logan had indeed offered the hooded figure payment, in the form of raw cash, but he rejected, handed the drive over to Logan and walked out.Smartly, the hooded figure had walked in the opposite direction waiting until the attention on his had lessened before he came back and entered the black car, which belonged

“What?” Anastasia blinked in surprise after hearing what Logan had said. “He didn’t request for any money?”“Yes. As a matter of fact, it seemed like he was doing it not out of crude or hatred, but rather obligation. At first I thought something was wrong, I tried refusing it, trust me, but he insist and before I knew it, that bastard had dumped the concept and vanished.”Anastasia brows knitted together more. This wasn’t at all in the file that Kareem had given her. In fact, going back to what he had told her when briefing her about the case, he said the employee’s motive for selling the concepts was because they had gotten fired and had a personal grudge against the company.But that wasn’t the case, at least not from both sides.“And did you tell your attorney this or-““Yes, I have. I even explained the whole goddamn thing to Riley when his lawyer dropped by yesterday, but he refused to listen. He thinks I’m covering for the employee.” Logan sighed. “Look, I’m telling you the trut

Anastasia sat in the chair farest from Lloyd, listening to all his assistant had decided to tell her about the situation.Yes, she had accepted the job. Why? Well it was simple, the pay. The money that was offered for her to handle this case was more than enough to buy her a whole island.Who was she to turn down such an opportunity. Most definitely not her and most definitely not because of someone name Lloyd Riley.“And that is the case.” Kareem concluded.“I see.” Anastasia hummed, nodding her head in the process. From all she had heard, learnt and was able to gather, the situation on ground had come about because of an employee who had stolen confidential files from the company and took it to a rivalry company, selling it off.But the rivaling company, either they were not smart enough to change the concept of what had been sold to them or that they purposely wanted to rub the fact that they had gotten hands on L.R co’s latest concept.Either way, it was a stupid move and Anastasi

Lloyd woke up the next morning to find the bed beside him cold and empty. His brows furrowed and as he sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, his mind recalled the events from last night yet Anastasia was nowhere to been seen.Did she leave? He wondered.He looked around, and his eyes landed on a piece of paper on his bedside table.Lloyd frowned and picked the note up, his eyes skimming through the words written on it.Last night was great, but I could have gotten better. I left some cash to thank you for your service. Hope we don’t ever cross paths again, Lloyd Riley.After reading the message, Lloyd’s eyes quickly found a thousand dollar bill placed on top of his wallet and he chuckled.“Is this a fucking joke?”Did Anastasia take him as a sex worker? Or did she think he was a prostitute?And she even had the balls to tell him that she hoped they were crossed paths again.He shook his head, still finding it funny that she’d leave a message like this.“Oh, Anastasia, you’re so cut

“Lloyd Riley, I’ll make this a night for you to remember.”It was like a promise, or maybe even a declaration, but regardless, it was one Anastasia was determined to keep and she knew just how to do so.Over the course of years, she had dealt with boys like Lloyd, players, the call themselves. They waltz into your life, mess up your emotions and end up using you as a one night stand.Anastasia’s first experience at that had been painful, so right now, as she walked back to where she and Lloyd had been seated, she wondered how Lloyd would feel if the tables were turned on him.“You done?” Lloyd asked as she took her seat from across him, fingers curling around the glass of her whiskey.“Yes. The bathroom here didn’t really have much to offer.” She flashed him a smile, deciding to move on to her plan rather than delaying an further. “So, do you have any plans after this?” She asked, placing the tip of her glass on her lower lip and looking at Lloyd through her lashes.He narrowed his ey

Standing in front of the mirror, Anastasia sighed, a frown etched onto her face as she checked herself. For a second, she debated whether or not she could pull off the outfit she was wearing.Her usual dress code, always having had the mindset of a lawyer and boss woman, was a simple jumpsuit or trousers and a blouse. But tonight, she had decided to switch things up.Tonight, she was wearing a knee length, skin tight dress, a dress that was cut at the front, revealing the bare skin of her thigh. Her hair, usually held up in a messy bun, was free flowing down her back, her lips a deep shade of red and her eyelashes long and luscious.As she stood there, checking herself, her mind began running wild.Why had she agreed to a date with Lloyd? What the fuck was she thinking?She shook her head, this for sure, was going to turn out to be chaos.Being ripped away from her thought by the sound of her door bell ringing, Anastasia decided to lock up her worries in the back of her mind and appro
