“Your da… what are you saying? Where- Where did you get that from?” She asked, in utmost bewilderment.Nathan pouted his lips and then raised his head to look at his mother before he said again.“Is he not?”“He is not— Nathan,” she swallowed.“You’re flustered, mama,” he smiled childishly and she snapped her brows together.“I am not. I am just surprised as to how you come across that picture.”“Mum… is he our dad?” Nathan asked her and she breathed out, this time, collecting herself better.“Why do you keep asking me if he is your dad? Have I ever introduced him as such to you?”When the twins exchanged glances and smiled at each other, she felt left out and then frowned.“What? Why did you both smile? Will you not tell me?”“It’s fine, mama. It’s fine,” Nathan said and patted her thigh.“Fine for what?”“It’s just fine. We can handle it on our own,” he said with a smile.“What are you handling, please? You’re just kids!” She slapped her forehead.“You don’t want us to lie to you bu
Chloe widened her eyes at the article that popped up on her screen and then stood up immediately.Maybe it was a piece of fake news, she thought and then went to search on the internet by herself.However, when the result came out the same, she let out a scream.ELENA BASKERVILLE IS THE CEO OF B&V.Although for the past few days, she had been hearing words about the owner of the company and she had not paid any attention to it as she cared less about what was going on in the business world.She was a fashion designer, and she loved her job so much. Thinking or running around the business world was not her thing.Maybe if she was in the business world, she would have known instantly that her ex-sister-in-law was back after six years.She clicked on the contact application and then browsed through Zeke’s number.She had not called the man once in the last six years. Maybe the only one time she had called him was to beg him to bring back Elena but the man had refused to pick up her call.
“Take a seat first, Chloe,” Elena said to the lady who would not let go of her hand for a second.“I don’t mind standing all day, holding your hand. I feel like you would disappear again if I let go,” she sniffed back the tears that were threatening to fall.Elena laughed and wriggled her hand from the lady’s gently. “Disappear, you say?”She grabbed her shoulders and then forced her to sit on the chair because she settled in front of her.“Why? Am I wrong? Y… you just left. You didn’t tell me anything. You didn’t say goodbye. You just left.”“Chloe.”“We were supposed to meet that day, remember? I came over, and you were not there. Brother said you left even before the daybreak.”“I…”“I searched for you, Elena. I went through hoops and loops just to find you, but… you were hiding just too well.”“I’m sorry.”“No, no. I know why you left…” she nodded her head.“My brother… that uncircumcised bastard,” she hissed. “He fucking cheated on you,” she added, as she tears her eyes from Elen
“Drive the fucking car faster!” Camila screamed as she slapped the headrest of the driver’s seat from behind.“Ma’am, this is…”“Shut the fuck up or I will hit you from behind! Drive. Faster!”She shook her leg continuously as she raised her phone to read the article for the umpteenth time.How was she just finding out after over a week? Jesus, she had been so dense!Elena had returned to this fucking country since and she was just finding out?As if that was not enough, Zeke was caught on camera with her.What were they talking about?What was he saying to her?Why did he hold her arm?Why was he fooling with her?!Was that why he arrived at the dinner gathering late that day?Was that the reason he was grumpy and cranky for NO reason?THAT WAS THE REASON?!God, she was so angry that she could explode like a volcano. That was an understatement, in fact.Hopefully, she was going to meet the man at home.It was almost eight in the night and he would have retired home if he didn’t sto
As if he had not just spewed those cold words at her, Zeke went on with his business.His eyes fixed on the laptop screen, and brows pulled together, he pressed the keyboard continuously.“Did you promise me marriage?”Camila asked him, bewildered.Did he ever need to promise her marriage before they had to get married?Aside, when their relationship had just started, she did not even need him to spell out his intentions as everything was clear and loud.He even divorced Elena because of her!Or, was it not?Was it not because he wanted to be with her?Was it not because he loved her and could not stand the sight of another woman when he had her?Did he not tell her that he loved her?Although Zeke was not a person who was good at expressing himself, which she had always known, but still, she knew that he had loved her. At least to a point.She loved how he seemed obsessed with her back then. What the fucking hell has changed?She would have liked to lie against the sudden appearance o
“You are going live in thirty seconds, Ms. Baskerville, are you ready?”The director of the program asked her and she nodded her head before she adjusted the collar of her shirt.Ever since she had been announced as the CEO of her company about two weeks ago, many media outlets had requested to have interviews with her and this was the one she chose to settle with.Since it was a vast topic and everyone wanted to know about her, they decided to go live with the interview.Although, she had refused at first, as she was scared that she could make mistakes but they reassured her after they provided her with her expected questions.Elena adjusted her shirt for the umpteenth time as she stared at the director who gestured with his fingers that it was about to start.And so, it started, and the host started by introducing herself and then asking her to do the same.“I am Elena Baskerville, and I am the founder of B&V Architectural Services company…”~~~“While we take a short break, we woul
Elena does not know what angered her more. If it was the annoying smirk that remained plastered on his lips, or if it was what he just saidHe just bought the media company? A big one at that?He was probably joking… or maybe not.Of course, Zeke was a billionaire. And there were even some rumors that he might be a trillionaire as it was not all of his assets that was documented officially.So, she knew he was insanely rich.He probably could afford to buy this company without telling on his account, but… did he actually do that?When the look on his face did not change as if he might have just lied, she shifted in her position and tilted her head.“You bought this company?!” Her eyes broadened.“You are making it seem like it is some big deal,” he shrugged his shoulders off nonchalantly.“You’re insane,” she stated and he nodded his head.“You would not blame me. I figured out that you might have purposely picked out this media company because it was in no way affiliated with me.”An
After Elena discharged her assistant for the day, she walked to the parking lot where her car was and getting there, her brows pulled together as she sighted the black Bugatti that was pulled in front of her car.She got there, looked around to see if she was going to see the owner, and then hissed.She has had a long day already. The drama with Zeke, and the issues with the hosts… this was the least she wanted on her mind right now.Wondering if she should go and call securities or wait till the owner came out, Zeke approached her and she smacked her tongue.She needed to leave before he got here, but, how? This car would not move by itself, would it?Tearing her eyes off his direction, she picked up her phone and then dialed the number that was written on a paper plastered by the wall in the parking lot.As she waited for the security to pick up, the car’s headlight came on, indicating that the driver might be somewhere around.She looked around and her eyes fell on Zeke who raised
