Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Love Teases, A New Trouble
"Well, that was... unexpected." I was still breathless from the mind-blowing... sex? Should I call it that? This was more intimate... deeply meaningful. Or not. There was no need to go there. "Making love with you is always unexpectedly mind-blowing, baby." He kissed my forehead. "Oh." Was all I could say. He had literally described what we just had using the same word I'd thought — mind-blowing. And rather than sex, he'd said 'making love'."I love you." He kissed me lightly on the lips.I didn't reply just as I hadn't replied when he'd confessed to being in love with me seconds before pounding into me.My heart reacted at his words and I knew I felt something potent for him but after all I'd gone through, not just his hands but Christian's too, I had to be careful. Love wasn't something I was ready for or wanted. I enjoyed his presence and every other thing in-between but commitment was a no-no for me. It was too soon to step onto that terrain of love and happily-ever-after. I

MIAAngry tears filled my eyes as I started the engine of my car and drove out of the company. I needed to do something about that Hailey bitch!I could not lose my marriage. Jared gave me the stability, love, care and affection I needed. Jerome, yes, I did love him but there was nothing he could offer me except great sex. He was trouble. A trouble I could not resist. My phone rang, I checked my caller ID. With a frown and blurry vision, I swiped the red button. Speak of the devil, and he would call. I'd been avoiding Jerome's calls for sometime. Knowing him, it was only a matter of time before he'd find me but that was not my concern right now.I needed to fix my home. Then Jerome and I could continue from where we left off but only more careful this time.I dialed my best friend's number and waited for her to pick. "Hey girl." Her chirpy voice came on. "Hello Lucia." I sniffled."What's wrong? Are you crying?" I could practically see her frown as she asked me those questions."

PRISCILLA"What took you so long? I almost thought you wouldn't come again." I stopped my restless pacing and blew a relieved breath when I opened the door to see him standing there. "Oh..what happened to your nose?" I moved back to let him in and quickly locked the door. "Long story. Why didn't you tell me your daughter is Mia?" He questioned the moment he stepped into the room."I did tell you I have a daughter named Mia. What's wrong?" I was quite puzzled at his attitude. He seemed surly and quite unhappy. There was also a little bit of nerves. What was wrong with him?"But you didn't tell me who exactly she was. You didn't say she is married to Jared Johnson." It felt like he was accusing me of a wrong I was yet to know I committed. "If there's something you want to tell me, let it out. You're suddenly beginning to act like Philips and I don't like it. Maybe you should leave." I went to plop on the bed. He sighed, then came to join me. "I'm sorry darling. I'm just stressed. I

"Wait, wait. This is not the road to my house." Celine's croaky voice interjected Jared's and I little discussion. "I'm sorry but there is an emergency. We won't be able to drop you off. We'll go to my place. Don't worry, I'll drive you home later." I promised her."But I need to have a bath and change my clothes. I've been wearing these for the past few days." Her tone had gone ever lower. I turned around to give her an observing once-over. "You and me should be about same height and weight. You'll fit into my clothes comfortably." "Okay." And she went quiet after that. My gaze shifted to my sleeping son, he was still napping peacefully. "But how did this happen? How could she have gone missing?" Jared continued from where we left off."I don't know. We just have to go find out."The rest of the ride to my place was silent. Jared picked up the speed and many minutes later, he was driving into the estate. Then into the compound. Suddenly I remembered Noah. I heaved a sigh, it's

"You know you don't have to go with us." I said to Celine."Oh, but I want to." Celine insisted. "The President's daughter is missing and I know my presence might not do much but I just want to show concern. I met her once and she was one smarty mouth with plenty of sass to go around."I sat with her in the backseat, covertly studying her expression for hint she might have heard anything. But nothing. I didn't have anything to worry about then. She had possibly heard nothing and was just showing concern just as she'd said. I didn't have the heart to insist she went home. If whatever decision she was taking sat right with her, then no problem. I just hoped the President was too distracted to make a scene over her appearance in his office. Zion and Miss Nancy were home. He was still sleeping. "I'm sorry I forgot to tell the kitchen staff to get you food. On our way home, I'll buy you dinner." I promised.I had totally forgotten about telling the maids to prepare something for her to

Her eyes welled and glistened with unshed tears, I shook my head, begging her not to say anything. She had heard. She'd heard everything we said and it just dawned on me that was the only reason she'd followed us here. She averted her gaze, fixing them on the distraught President who was currently being consoled by uncle Pete.She stepped forward, I tried to hold her back but she snatched her hand away."Why?" She stood before the President.Jared exchanged looks with me, I was helpless. He also realized she had heard us talking."What are you talking about?" The President was just noticing her presence and I spotted slight fear in his eyes. He looked at me as though to accuse me of betraying our deal. If only he could understand it wasn't my fault. How could I have known she would hear."Don't blame her. She didn't tell me...at least, not directly." Celine moved closer to him."I-I have no idea whatever you're talking about young lady." The President avoided her gaze, his head hun

"You've been awfully quiet, Hailey. Something wrong?" Uncle Pete asked on the drive back home. It was really late. I sat with Celine at the back, she was quiet as well. I shook my head. "No. I'm fine." But I wasn't, not at all."Are you sure? You seem troubled." Jared put in, concern lacing his tone. "I'm fine." I was troubled. After that call, my mind had been restless. I could not fathom where to begin trailing my thoughts. The voice on that call had been unrecognizable and I suspected whoever it was, wanted it so. It was, no doubt, the person responsible for the kidnap of Nina. One of the candidates, but who exactly? And why had they reached out to me?What not the President or his wife, the First Lady? Why me? How had they gotten my number? Whoever that had made that call knew Jared and me. Where was Rashford? How come all of a sudden he was nowhere to be found? And was the President aware his personal aide was absent today?The one person who could keep an eye on him for me

DENISE"Sign this, pumpkin." My step father walked into the living room and slid some documents across to me.I squinted as though I couldn't catch a clear glimpse of the neatly typed words. "What is this? What am I signing?""When do you start asking questions, princess?" He was a bit surprised.I had never questioned his motives nor hesitated whenever he asked for something but after what Adam had told me, I knew I had to be careful. It hurt me so bad that the man I had trusted would want to do this to me.I hadn't confronted him because Derek Kellers was not a man one could easily break. I needed time to confirm Adam's words and also plan."Since when you decided to betray me." There! I had said it. It was finally off my chest. He made an attempt to laugh it off. "You're kidding, right? Why would you even think of such?""Because it's true." I spat, anger making turbulent waves within."If you're joking, stop it darling. Why would I want to betray you?" Was he going to continue pl

Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns An Even Harder Task
"He's still not picking his phone. Why is he not picking his phone?!" I paced about the living, almost out of my wits. The television was on. I'd turned it on with the hope of hearing the President making his denouncement speech regarding Jared. The voices of random people talking on TV buzzed around the room, but I didn't pay attention.They weren't what I was interested in."Hey. Hey. Hey. Come here." Jared stopped my agitated pacing and drew me into his embrace. "Calm down, worrying yourself will not help.""That girl is counting on me to save her. I have to save her. Oh God! She gave me a clue, I have unraveled it and now, I have... I have to save her." My heart was beating faster than usual. Time was running out. Just few hours ago, the kidnapper had called just as I was leaving the room assigned to Denise until she recovered and reminded me, in no mirthful or light tone if I may add, about the deal. I had no idea why the President was doing this to his own daughter. Now, he w
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns A Hard Decision
BRONX"What are you still doing sitting there, Bronx?!" The sharp, trembling voice of my wife shook me out of my depressing thoughts. "Why aren't you on air yet?!"She was like a woman on a mission, storming into my small, private office without knocking. Not that any of my family members ever needed the permission to have access to me unless I was with very important guests or in a crucial political meeting. "What?" I almost knocked my glass of bourbon off the table in a slightly tipsy daze. "I said why are you not on air right now pulling Jared from the race and saving my daughter's life?!" She seethed, reaching my table and placing both hands on it. "Francesca where did you hear that?" I had to ask. I didn't tell anyone about my meeting with Peter, Hailey and Jared. "Don't reply me with questions, Bronx. Where is my daughter?! Why are you intent on making my poor girl suffer in the hands of those...those monsters?!" She cried, anger and despair clouding her big, blue puffy eyes
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Dear Husband-To-Be
MIA"Husband-to-be? What are...""Come here." His lips smiled, his tone calm but there was an underlying order coating those two words. "Now."Subtly clearing my throat, I took small steps towards him knowing my mom and his mom were watching. He grabbed me by my waist and lowered his head, I dodged his kiss. "What are you doing? Our moms are watching and I'm married to your brother. Stop this.""Exactly, baby. I want them to watch and know I'm the right brother for you. And henceforth, you're no longer married to my brother. I went into the room you used to share with him, I saw the divorce papers, he signed but you're yet to. You'll sign it." His tone gave the hint of a command.Our voices were hushed whispers so only us could hear. "No, I'll not. Stop this, Jerome.""Say you don't want me. Look into my eyes and say it, I'll leave you alone. Maybe." It was almost as if his eyes were taunting me knowing I couldn't.I licked my lips. "See, I want you. I love you but it's your brother
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns A Public Face-off, Surprise At Home
MIAI watched her come out of the mall, my car parked a distance from hers. My blood boiled and hatred flamed. She was the cause. It was all her fault and I was here to stop that nonsense. I stepped out of my vehicle, my sunglasses in place, I approached her, hurrying as she walked to her car with shopping bags in her hands. What was Jared's old secretary doing with her? Anyways, she was not my concern. "Hey you." I didn't bother to hide my disdain when I neared her.Removing her own sunglasses, she coolly assessed me. "Didn't expect to find you here, Mia. It's been awhile.""Where's my husband?" I got to the heat of the matter. A chuckle escaped her. "Does it look like I have him in my purse or in the back of my car?"A growl rumbled low. "You bitch! I see what you're trying to do here. You couldn't have him six years ago, now, you're playing every dirty game in your book to keep my husband from me.""Pick a side, Mia. Stop gallivanting like a helpless feline cub who can not dec
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Fight In The House Of Pillax
PRISCILLA "Leave me alone, you wife beater!" I struggled with him to let go of my shirt he'd held on to. I heard a rip and seethed. This was one of my very expensive shirts. "Not until you tell me where the stuff in my safe is." He seethed as well. "What safe? What stuff? Did you tell me of any safe in this house?""You and I are the only occupants of this house, Priscilla. Don't fucking lie to me! Your behavior recently have been rousing suspicions.""And yours haven't?" I shot back."Give me the things you took from that safe or I'll make you regret knowing me, Priscilla." He threatened."I already regret knowing you, Philip!" I retorted. "I regret ever walking down the aisle and tying the nuptial knot with you! You're meaner than a snake and more vicious than a bear!" I lashed out. "One would look at your calm exterior and be deceived, I know I was until you began to show you true, evil colors! The devil resides in you, Philip!" The back of his hand swiped across my cheek, har
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Denise Is Awake
"Well, that went well. I guess." I strapped in just as uncle Pete started the vehicle, driving out of the compound. "I guess so too." Jared stared from the rearview mirror, our eyes met. The drive back home was mostly silent. My mind were filled with thoughts of Nina, Celine and when Denise would become conscious and tell her side of the story.Feeling exhausted, I closed my eyes and worried more. "Hey." A soft voice sounded close yet far. "Hailey." The voice called again, a gentle, patient tap followed. My lips parted slightly open in an unconscious response when I felt a pair of lips mesh with mine. A small moan escaped me. All of this was a dream. The face I saw kissing me was Jared. I wound my arms round his neck to bring him closer to me. The kiss progressed more passionately and it became a delightful merging of mouths, tongues yearning to each other. "I love you, Hailey." That had my eyes fluttering open. I released a shocked gasp and unwound my arms, licking my lips.
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns His Reputation Or His Daughter
"What the hell is she saying, Peter?" The President who was currently pacing his office, looking sleep-deprived and angry, faced uncle Pete."Calm down and listen to what she has to say. There's sense in it." Uncle Pete was trying to calm him. "What sense is in there, Peter?! She's asking me to make a fool of myself out there!" He looked like he was about to pummel someone. "If denouncing your support for Jared and pulling him out of the race is what makes you a fool, then be a fool to save your daughter!" I retorted, getting worked up by his own anger. I was trying to save his daughter's life but he was proving stubborn all for some keeping a clean record and an unblemished career. "It's your fault she's kidnapped! I told you this was a dangerous game but you thought blackmailing me with a secret daughter from my past will solve everything. Now look at where it has landed me! Damn it! I can not believe I let myself be toyed by you! A woman!" He all but spat at me. I leaned closer

"What?" They chorused in puzzlement. "She did a play on words there. I can't feel my lip. I need a pill to help me relax. Get it? Feel-lip Pill-ax." "Oh, good gracious! That girl's smart as hell." Uncle Pete said. "Exactly!" I concurred excitedly."And Hailey is just brilliant enough to figure it out." Pride shone in Jared's eyes. Jared and uncle Pete looked impressed. "I do my best." I cleared my throat, carelessly ignoring the fluttering in my stomach. "Philip Pillax is behind this?" Uncle Pete looked from me to Jared. "I'd always known that guy to be shady and dangerous. But he must have some guts kidnapping the President's daughter.""And some help." I put in. The men looked at me. "The President's aide, a creepy guy named Rashford. I suspect he's the one giving information out to Philip from the White House.""How do you know this?" This was from Jared. "I noticed how he was lingering at the door the day I went to visit the President. Plus, I talked to Nina who confirmed he

"How's she, doctor?" I wiped the remaining tears from my eyes. Now was not the time for tears.I'd heard uncle Pete's conversation with Catherine and had bring both angry and sad hearing her confess to Derek having a hand in my father's death.It was all part of the plan though. Jared and I had stayed hidden to take pictures and videos of her.I should have him and Denise locked up but not yet. Something told me that was not the whole story and I would want to know it before having the police take over. "The bleeding has stopped, her system is stabilized but she's still weak and sleeping." The doctor said. "I'll be back to check up on her.""Thank you, doctor." I shook hands with him and he left.I couldn't wait to hear Denise's story on how she had ended up on the side of the road, almost bleeding to death until I and Jared drove past.Jared came in just then, uncle Pete and his lover, Miss Nancy, as well.Zion rubbed his eyes, he was feeling sleepy. But he smiled when he finally s
