When I arrived at the suite, Sam was pacing back and forth, clearly anxious. Sapphire was there too. Although she was seated, the anxiety was evident on her face.

“What’s the problem?” I blurted out.

“Thank God you arrived! I just received the DNA results for Cleo and Celestine.”

Sapphire handed me an envelope with the DNA results. My heart was pounding as I nervously tore open the envelope and unfolded the papers inside. I scanned through the results, my eyes widening in shock.

According to the DNA results, Cleo is not Celestine's daughter.

“Sapphire, is this real?” I stammered, looking at her wide eyes.

“Yes. Cleo is not Celestine's daughter, Liz…”

I felt like my world was spinning. I looked at Sam, who was as shocked by the news as everyone else in the room.

“What are your plans now?” Sapphire asked.

I took a deep breath before responding. “It means that Celestine had stolen somebody’s child.”

Sam nodded in agreement, her jaw clenched as she stopped pacing and stood beside me.

  • Revenge on My Billionaire Ex    Chapter 86

    My heart raced as I stumbled out of the coffee shop, my eyes scanning the parking space where I had parked my car. The conversation had been brief; it didn’t even last ten minutes, but Crimson's words had left a lasting impression on me.I refused to believe his words; after all, he was the man who had broken my heart, and I couldn't trust him again, even if I wanted to. “Elizabeth! Please wait for me!”I quickened my pace, determined to escape him.“Stop running, Elizabeth!” he said, grabbing me by the arm.My patience snapped. I glared at him with daggers in my eyes. If looks could maim, he would lie in a pool of blood on the pavement.“Now that we both know that Cleo isn't Celestine's daughter, this time I need you to take a DNA test.”The words surprised me. I felt my heart skip a beat. What did he mean by that?Before I could gather my thoughts, Crimson took a step closer, his hand reaching out to gently brush a stray lock of hair away from my face. His touch sent a shiver down

  • Revenge on My Billionaire Ex    Chapter 87

    If I hadn't been courageous enough to return to Flintstone City, I would have never found out that I have a daughter.How could I have not known I had given birth to a twin and that the other child was stolen? As I asked myself this, I resisted the urge to burst into hysterics, wondering what would have happened to Cleo in Celestine's hands if I hadn't discovered she was my child.“Calm down, Elizabeth,” he whispered.I turned to him, my vision blurring while staring at his handsome face. “How could I calm down after learning the truth, Crimson? I wasted four years of my life not knowing she existed!”“It wasn't your fault. You were deceived, just like me. It's all Celestine's doing! Instead of blaming yourself, think about what you have to do next!”He was harsh, but his words were true, snapping me out of my misery like a slap. Cleo was my daughter, and it was my duty to protect her now and make up for lost time. I couldn't change the past, but I could certainly shape the future.“P

    The police station was a hive of activity when we arrived, and officers were moving around in a hurry. Crimson and I were directed to the office by a stern-looking officer, who instructed us to wait for Chief Dallas.I sat with my hands clenched in my lap. I was scared, but I was trying my best to maintain a calm demeanor.After what felt like an eternity, the door opened, and Chief Dallas finally came in. He offered us a smile, but upon noticing the look on our faces, he occupied his seat and said, "Elizabeth… Crimson. I'm surprised to find you both here. What can I do for you?”“Celestine took Cleo without permission. She kidnapped my daughter,” Crimson explained.Chief Dallas nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation. “We will do everything we can to locate Cleo and ensure her safety. Do you have any idea where Celestine might have taken her?”“No,” replied Crimson. "We've checked her condominium and called her number, but she's not answering.”“Tell me what she's wear

    I hugged Cleo tightly, but loose enough for her to breathe. I couldn't believe that this adorable girl was my daughter.“Daddy tried to explain everything to me, but I still wonder, why did you leave me? Don't you want me?”The question stopped me in my tracks. Seeing the sadness in her eyes made me bite my lip. I couldn't blame her if she thought I abandoned her. I was never present in her life during the past four years. I didn't witness when she first opened her eyes, took her first steps, or said her first words. I missed out on so much, and it breaks my heart.But I couldn't tell Cleo the whole truth just yet. She was too young to understand the intricacies of my past and the reasons why I had to leave her behind. So, I simply said, “I had to go away for a while because there were some things I needed to take care of. But now, I'm back, and I promise I'll never leave you again.”Cleo studied me for a moment before throwing her arms around me in a tight hug. “Don't ever leave me a

    It had been a perfect night. I watched my husband, Crimson Phoenix, dance with the birthday celebrant—my friend Celestine—while enjoying a glass of champagne. His arm was wrapped around her waist, and they moved effortlessly to the rhythm of the music. I was enjoying the moment until an unsettling feeling settled in my chest as I realized they were dancing a little too close. “Are you okay?” a voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned and saw Mia, another close friend. I forced a smile, nodding, but inside, I felt a bit troubled. “You sure?” She tilted her head and crossed her arms underneath her breasts. “You’ve been a bit quiet.” I reasoned I was a bit tipsy from drinking Champagne. She bought the alibi and left to mingle with the guests. Once I'm alone, I sat down on the table and refilled my glass. A short while later, my husband joined me. "I think it's time we talked." He began. I set the glass down, preparing myself for what was coming. "I've thought about this for a

    I left the hotel in a hurry. Once I arrived at home, the headlines of the newspaper greeted me. PHOENIX CORPORATION's HEIR'S WIFE SPOTTED WITH MYSTERY LOVER"No!"I grasped the newspaper, my hands shaking uncontrollably.There, taking up nearly the entire front page, was a photo of me leaning intimately with a man. The image would be burned into the minds of everyone who saw it.I had never thought — not even in my worst nightmare — I would see myself in such a negative light, let alone on the front page of a newspaper.As I peered out of the window, I could see a swarm of paparazzi eagerly waiting outside the door, like a pack of hungry wolves ready to pounce at me. The mere thought of facing them sent shivers down my spine, as I knew they were just waiting to snap a picture and tear me apart in the headlines.I'm not sure if Crimson had read the newspaper but if the whole Flintstone City had read it, it is likely that he has and I couldn't couldn't imagine how he must be feeling

    "Miss?" The driver snapped me back to reality. A beat passed before he asked my destination.I pulled myself together and told him where I wanted to go. He nodded and said not a word for the rest of the trip.Minutes passed by in a blur. But then the silence was shattered when the driver spoke. “We arrived.”The cab skidded into a stop to the place I had promised myself never to step foot ever again. But promises are always meant to be broken, much like Crimson broke his promises and threw them away like a pile of trash.I handed the fee and hastened out of the car, before I changed my mind and fled. I've been fleeing all my life — fleeing from things that pains me, and I'm getting tired of it. Time has come for me to face my fears and this might be a good start.The family ancestral house looked exactly the same as I stored it in my memory and although a long time had passed, the memories of what took place the day I left played in my memory in clear, vivid details."Elizabeth, he wi

    I've always dreamed of having children, always wondering what it would be like to have a child of my own, to feel their tiny fingers curl around mine as they drift off to sleep.But my husband didn't want a child. The first time I broached the subject, he grew quiet and distant. I couldn't blame him for it. His father had abandoned him before he was even born, leaving him to grow up with a single mother. Perhaps he feared repeating the same pattern, becoming a terrible father—much worse than his own.However, Crimson got Celestine pregnant. He must have been so in love with her to have broken his promise of not wanting a baby."Move on, Elizabeth. Leave yourself a bit of self-respect and stop chasing a man. Had he truly loved you, he wouldn't have fallen for me!"My friend's words stung, but it's still not an excuse for her to snatch another woman's husband. “Crimson is still my husband,” I spat firmly. She wasn't in a position to be proud in front of me since she's not even the legal

    The following day, my brother Louis remained silent about the previous night's incident at the Mayor's house. I had hoped he would express some anger or yell at me, but instead, his calm demeanor had a more profound impact than if he had raised his voice.The events from last night had made headlines everywhere. Celestine Ford got her karma. Her reputation had been tarnished overnight, and she was facing backlash from the public and media.Serves her right, I thought to myself.I returned to my office after breakfast and started working on my laptop. I made a mental note to talk to Louis later to clear the air and hopefully soften him a bit.Afternoon came, and I finally completed my work.I strolled down the hallway, my car keys jingling in my hand. Louis, heading toward the presidential suite, crossed paths with me. "Where are you off to?" he inquired."I'm heading to the orphanage,” I responded.Louis didn't inquire about my purpose for going to the orphanage. Instead, he kindly of

    Crimson's laughter echoed in the study room. I hadn't expected him to laugh at the situation, which made me wonder if he had lost his mind. “Don't spit such ridiculous words,” he replied with a hardened expression. “I am not interested in you, Vera. You're like a sister to me."The woman he had just called Vera clung to him. “I can make you want me. I will change for you.”Tears fell freely from her eyes. "Please, just give me a chance. I love you…. I have loved you since we were children… ““Vera, I care for you deeply, but not in the way you want me to. It's not fair to either of us to force something that isn't there. Please don't hurt yourself anymore."Vera ran out of the room sobbing.I released the breath I hadn't realized I was holding when the door to the study closed.Crimson had done the right thing by being honest and setting boundaries. Although it hurt the woman, it would help her to at least move on.“Stop hiding, Elizabeth. I know you're there.”Breathless, I emerged

    Clarisse Stevens' beautiful countenance lit up with excitement."Oh, that's so sweet of you, Elizabeth! I would love to hear you play."I remained still, like a statue, unable to move. I never expected to be playing the piano in front of a crowd of almost five hundred people.The Mayor smiled genuinely at me and said, "It was very thoughtful of you to offer such a gift to my daughter, Madam.”I felt pressure to play because everyone, especially the Mayor, was expecting me to. But I was worried that I would only end up embarrassing myself.Perhaps Celestine sensed the fear in my eyes and smiled, "Don't be shy, Elizabeth." Suddenly, she grabbed my arm roughly and led me to the piano, hiding her true, malicious intentions with a seemingly kind gesture.Was her intention to humiliate me and make me lose face in front of the most important people in Flintstone City?If that's her intention, then I'm not going to let her win.Taking a deep breath, I sat down, ignoring the evil glint in Cele

    Crimson cleared his throat and spoke up, "I'm here to give you a ride. The escort who was supposed to drive you to Havenwood Street got a flat tire on the way. Clarisse asked me to pick you up because I will be passing by the hotel on my way to the Mayor's house.”“You shouldn't have bothered.”“Don't worry; I'm not,” he replied with a shrug."I can simply drive to the Mayor's house; I have a car," I argued."It's risky," he responded honestly. "Plus, you're not familiar with the location of the Mayor's house. You could easily get lost.”I paused, considering his point. "Okay, then do what you want. There's no use arguing since you're already here.""Shall we go?" he asked.I nodded, and together we walked to his car.“How long have you been waiting?”Crimson blushed in embarrassment. “Almost half an hour.""I apologize for making you wait," I told him.“No need to apologize. It's my fault for coming early,” he answered. His gaze surprisingly never left my face, as if he were under a
