"I'm claustrophobic, the elevator triggered it and caused me to have a panic attack", Kate confessed with a sign, she wasn't lying, after her accident she indeed became claustrophobic and avoided enclosed or small places.

Charles wasn't satisfied with her answer, how could her phobia trigger a panic attack. "If Jack hadn't informed him in time...", Charles closed his eyes, not wanting to think about it. There was something she wasn't telling him, he decided to let it go for now.

"If you want to use the elevator you can ask me or Jack to go with you or Stella, ok".

"Ok", Kate nodded smiling. "Where is Rose?"She asked, seeing as they were the only ones in the room.

"She must have gone", Charles replied nonchalantly.

"So how was the talk?".

"Trust me have had better", Charles signed, not wanting to explain.

Kate nodded, wanting to ask further but decided not to, wrapped her arms around his neck. “We are alone again", she said with a knowing smile, she brought his face closer to hers.

    Kate eyed him surprise, "of course he would know", she thought with an eye roll. She'll just have to trust him."Taylor, you need to be careful. Charles is a dangerous man and can't be trusted, he isn't as honest as he looks", Felix warned seriously.Kate stared at him confused, she could feel her uneasiness creeping in again, she shrugged it off."Let's just go"."Sure", Felix opened the passenger door for her, he got into the driver's seat.Kate sat down at the back seat, she couldn't stop thinking about what Felix said, and just shrugged it off.At Oriental hotel,Charles paced to and fro in his suite, he still hadn't talked to Taylor and the party had already started, just some floors below his suite.Today he had been so busy he couldn't call Taylor and now he was free, he still couldn't call her because he didn't have her number- her private number.Charles groaned frustrated, no matter what he had to make sure he told Taylor before it was announced.Jack looked at his boss with

    "No, you are definitely mistaken "Kate denied but deep down she wished it was true."Trust me girl, I know my cousin better than anyone and he definitely has a thing for you. If I were you I'll take my chance before someone else does", Gracie whispered the last part.Kate bit her lower lips unsure, "should she?", She thought. "Kate are you really thinking about it", a voice in her head chided."She and Charles were just attracted to each other and nothing else, nothing romantic could ever happen between them", Kate thought with a sign but couldn't help feeling disappointed at the thought."I doubt it Gracie"."Hmm suit yourself", Gracie shrugged, "could you please excuse me for a sec"."Sure", Kate nodded as she watched Gracie walk away, leaving her alone."Why the long face beauty, if you are looking for company, I’m the right guy".Kate heard someone say as she turned to her side to see Kyle giving her a flirtatious smile."Just great", Kate thought with an eye roll ignoring him."C

    "The honor is mine Mr Donovan and thank you", she said to Bryce before facing the crowd. "It's my pleasure to work with a great company like Donovan Enterprise,as they don't think about the profit alone, rather satisfying the comfort of the driver, making cars safe for people to drive and that's the main objective of TAC Limited. I'm looking forward to what both our companies will be able to achieve now and also in the future, thank you", Kate got down from the stage, the crowd gave her a standing ovation."Thank you Miss Cosgrove and the pleasure is ours. Meanwhile, the second announcement will be made shortly, enjoy the party everyone", Bryce announced, getting off the stage."Miss Cosgrove..".Kate turned to see Charles at her side, Rose beside him. It felt weird hearing Charles address her like that since she was used to him calling her Taylor."Mr Donovan", she stared at him then at Rose who gave her a sly smile. This wasn't how he wanted them to meet. "Was she angry or hurt",

    Charles....".Charles captured Taylor's lips in his swallowing the rest of her words, he pressed her back to the wall, holding her in place.Kate was surprised at the sudden kiss but that didn't stop her from responding back, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer towards her."Gawwd darling I missed you", Charles said, breaking out of the kiss, giving her ass a squeeze.Kate moaned. “Yh you did", she said with a chuckle."You look hot as hell in this dress, too bad it's going to be in pieces soon", Charles whispered in her ears, kissing her earlobes.Kate moaned, "I can't wait", she said seductively, her hand ran down his chest stopping at his belt, a naughty smile on her face.Charles' breathing hitched, he had promised the first thing he'll do when he meets Taylor was to talk to her, but the beast in him had already been woken up, he wanted her badly."I need you darling now", Charles groaned as he pulled Kate to a door, she didn't notice was there, they both got in.

    Sunday, the next day.Morning at the Donovan mansion.Charles stared at his grandpa, his mind far from what the Old Man was saying."Explain yourself?", Ryn demanded angrily, holding out his phone for his grandson to see.Charles shrugged.Ryn hissed at his grandson's nonchalant attitude, "what will your fiancee think?"."Does it matter, moreover she was aware?" Charles answered calmly.“Excuse me….”, Ryn choked on his grandson's words.“Don't you have any shame, what will the world think? You were having an affair with our business partner”."I never cared about what the world thought, so why should I start now", Charles answered, tapping his foot impatiently.Ryn shook his head. “Fine, don't care about yourself, what about her, what about her reputation?".Charles groaned, running his hand through his hair. “His grandpa was right, he was being stupid right now. What about Taylor, she was involved in the scandal too".Charles whipped his phone out and dialed a number, "Jack, I want y

    About what......wait how did you find out?", Kate asked surprised, as she rubbed her forehead, "just great", she thought.Seriously Kate?, Literally the whole world knows", Andrew groaned trying to stay calm."I don't understand Andrew ", Kate signed confused."You tell me Kate, your affair with the King of business is all over the net", Andrew yelled, jealousy in his tone."Apparently someone took a picture of the both of you making out at the terrace at yesterday's event and made a scandal out of it", Andrew slammed his fist on his desk."Great another gossip", Kate thought sarcastically and she could only think about one person who was behind it, Rose. Rose had already hurt Kate's ego by getting engaged to Charles, and dared to humiliate her by revealing her and Charles' affair, turning it into a scandal."At least the billionaire did one good thing, he took down the post before it could become a disaster", Andrew said relieved."That's good news", Kate shrugged.Kate heard Andrew

    Monday 15th, August, 2022.In the morning, at Fast Tech Limited. Rose sat on her cushioned office chair, a satisfied smile on her face.She relaxed in the chair. "Rose dear you're very smart", she praised, grinning.She had finally gotten back at Taylor, by revealing her and Charles' affair turning it into a scandal, just when the whole world found out she was engaged to Charles."What did Taylor think, that she'll just sit and watch the two of them continue with their silly game - affair. No, Charles was her fiance", Rose thought with a sly smile."Now no one will dare mess with her knowing she is going to be the next Mrs Donovan"."She did it", Rose thought proudly. She was no more the poor and low-class Rose from the past rather a rich and classy woman, getting all the rights the rich enjoy. And was soon going to be the mistress of the most influential family in the city, from rags to riches.Rose always wondered why people like Kate -self-centered, bratty rich kids, were privileg

    Kate hissed, walking into the company, heading to the elevator, she spotted Jack standing right in front of the elevator. “Was he waiting for someone”, she wondered."Morning Jack", she greeted as she got close."Morning Miss Cosgrove", Jack bowed slightly."What are you doing here?"."Boss said I should wait here every morning to escort you to the office, you know due to your phobia", Jack explained."He did!"Kate exclaimed, surprised."Yes ma, I know I'm not meant to be saying this but my boss really cares about you Miss Cosgrove"."Hmmmm", Kate nodded, pressed a button and stepped in the elevator with Jack.The elevator stopped at the 30th floor as both of them stepped out."I'll take your leave", Jack informed and stepped back in the elevator.Kate watched Jack leave before walking towards the office, knowing Charles was already there. "Why couldn't there be another room where she could work", she whined in her head.She knocked on the door before stepping in. "Good morning Mr D

  • Reborn Of The Billionaire's Princess    Chapter 112: Conversation With Old Man Donovan

    A NEW DAY. Kate drove her car into the parking lot of Donovan Car Enterprise. Glancing at Charles' spot, no sign of his black Mercedes. Another day and Charles hadn't arrived. Checking the time on her wristwatch, 7:45. "There was still time", she sighed. “He could just be running late”, she told herself. Letting out a frustrated groan, “Why did she even care!?”. Kate walked to the entrance, about entering the building, when an old man walked up to her. “Miss Cosgrove”, the elderly man said. “Yes”, Kate nodded, raising her eyebrows in a polite manner. “How may I help you?”. “Ryn…Old Man Donovan would like to see you”. “See me”, Kate asked, an unconvinced look on her face. “Why would Charles' grandpa want to see her?”. “Where is he?”. “There”, the man pointed to a black SUV not far from them. Kate gave him a weary look. “She didn't trust him”. “He wants to speak to you, it's important”, he added, a stern expression on his face, not bothering to convince her.

    “How did he become friends with these two idiots?” Charles wondered, as he watched his two best friends talk about the recent happenings in his life, in his presence!. Alexander did the talking while Vincent listened with rapt attention. “Are you guys done?” Charles asked, his forehead creased in annoyance. They both turned to stare at him, a teasing grin forming on their faces. “I always knew we were going to end up becoming family, but I didn't think you'd have to marry Rose”, Vincent said, displeasure laced in his tone. “Katie’s best friend... It was meant to be her”, he murmured, not saying the last part out loud. “But you love Taylor don't you, why not marry her instead”, he said. “I know we won't be family anymore but I'll always support your choice”, he added, giving Charles a supportive nod. Charles shook his head at Vincy's words. “Too bad he won't be able to do that anymore”, Alexander spoke with a sigh. “Why not?” Vincent asked, confused. “Charles is

    Charles glanced at his wristwatch, his back to his car, tapping his foot impatiently on the concrete ground, with his arms crossed. “His flight had landed 15 mins ago, why wasn't he here yet”, he grumbled, staring at the exit door. Glancing at his watch again, it was 1:00 pm now. He had thought about going to the office today but it seemed like he wouldn't make it again. “Sigh!”. He hadn't been able to go to the office because he was preparing for the task his grandfather had given him – he needed to be ready to face them. Replaying his conversation with his grandpa. “You can stop pursuing Miss Cosgrove. I hear she's dating someone now”. And that was how his grandpa decided to start their conversation. “Son of the Bruce family, Kyle. I think he's a nice guy”, he added. Charles worked his jaw, just when he had forgotten about it – not like he did – his grandpa just had to remind him. “Grandpa, you didn't call me here to tell me this, did you?” He asked, an annoy

    “Was there a reason why you jumped on me when you walked in, Miss Cosgrove?” Charles asked, trying to sound indifferent. Kate was focused on her entwined fingers; she didn't notice the hopeful look in his eyes. “It's nothing I was just glad you were__ I meant your hand was alright”, Kate stammered, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Oh I see”, Charles frowned disappointedly, quickly replacing it with a stoic expression. “I'll be on my way then Miss Cosgrove”, he added, walking past her to the door. “Wait!” Kate exclaimed, stopping him in his tracks. “Where are you going, you just got here?” she asked, surprised. “He was leaving already or was he just ignoring her”. She frowned at the thought. “I have a multimillionaire business to take care of. I can't sit in my office all the time”, Charles answered with a cocky grin. “Is there a reason you don't want me to go?”. “No, it's just__”, Kate shuttered, suddenly feeling nervous. “What did Gracie say, sort out your feelings,

    THE NEXT DAY. Kate rolled her eyes at the person on the other end of the phone. Just when she thought yesterday's gossip had ended. Andrew just had to call her to talk about it, on her way to work!. “What are you up to now Kate?” Andrew groaned, questioning, clearly displeased about the post. “Getting back with your ex, really!?”. “Technically Taylor is the one dating Kyle not Kate”, Kate corrected, stopping her car at a red light. She had connected her earbuds to her phone. After her accident she was weary of connecting her phone to her car, and was cautious of the information she stored too, to prevent a virus getting into it. Prevention was better than cure afterall. “I know Kate, still!” Andrew argued. Kate tapped her finger on the steering wheel, waiting for the light to turn green. “I'm just getting my revenge on Kyle, Andrew, nothing to worry about”. The light turned green, she continued driving. “By dating him Kate, is that really necessary”, he tsked. “If

    At Charles penthouse Charles stared at his injured palm now wrapped in a bandage. Fred had come over to help clean it up. Running his hand through his hair. Had he read the signs wrongly? Taylor didn't love him like he thought . “He would have accepted it, if it was any other guy but it had to be Kyle”. The world had to be playing some cruel game with him. First Kate and now Taylor. His phone rang, disrupting his thoughts. He eagerly took his phone, a frown appearing on his face seeing it wasn't her – Taylor – placing his phone at his ear. “What now?” He hissed. “Woah dude! Woke up on the wrong side of the bed I see” the other person chuckled. “I don't have all day Vincy”, he hissed again. He knew he was behaving like an ass, a big jerk, but that's what happens when Taylor makes him mad. “Just wanted to remind you, I'm coming home next week, permanently “, Vincent said, ignoring his friend's cocky attitude. “And!?”. “You're picking me up from the airport.

    Rose eyed Catherine, sitting across from her, making the other weary. “Is there a problem ma?” Catherine asked, seeing as Rose hadn't said a word since she called for her. Rose kept staring at her, her gaze particularly on the two diamond cluster earrings which hung on Catherine's ear. “Why did she lie?” Was the thought on Rose's mind. “Or was she telling the truth?”. “After going through the CCTV footage for the past 2 hours - majorly skipping some parts - she found something interesting”. “Catherine had been to her office last week, when she went out, it was the day Kyle had walked in on her”. She had watched Catherine drop the file, accidentally knocking the stapler over, then bending down to pick it, nothing strange there, except it took her 5 minutes to pick up a stapler - a whole 5 minutes. She didn't miss the way Catherine stood rigid after she stood up, with the stapler in her hand, like someone caught doing something wrong, when Kyle had entered her office. “

    At FastTech Limited, Everyone was seated around a conference table. Old Man Andino sat at the head chair, on his left was his secretary when he was the CEO and beside the man was Nathaniel, while on his right was an empty seat, and beside the seat was Rose, as the shareholders and the heads of departments filled the rest of the seats. It was the seasonal meeting held mid month of the start of a new season between the shareholders, and heads of department. Everyone was present, except one person, the seat beside Rose, at Old Man Andino right was empty. Rose wondered who the person was for the Old Man to wait patiently and make every other person wait as well. She had heard the person was going to be the new CFO, and was once an employer, and someone close to the Old Man – courtesy of her gossiping workers. 30 mins later and still no sign of their newcomer. Rose glanced at the wall clock, an annoyed expression on her face. It was time for the meeting to start but the Old Man wasn't

    Kate rushed over to him worriedly, about to grab his bleeding hands which had shreds of glass in it. He held out his other hand stopping her. She stared at him confused, turning to an angered expression, was he really going to act stubborn now. She stared at his injured hand again, blood dripping onto the tiles. “Don't be stubborn Charles, you are badly injured”, she argued. “You don't want to go to the hospital, no problem, at least let me take a look at it”, she coaxed. She groaned frustratedly, seeing as Charles wasn't listening to her. “What was wrong with him, didn't he feel hurt”. Charles raised his head to stare at her, an unreadable expression on his face, his eyes cold and lifeless. Kate felt chills run down her spine at his stare, noticing something was amiss about him. “Charles”, she called out softly. “You're hurt”, she continued, trying to touch him again but he stepped back, leaving her hand floating in mid-air. Kate felt a pang in her chest at Charles' ac
