Zeke got to his car, and as he prepared to enter the backseat that his driver had opened for him, he turned around and then raised his head to look at his sister’s window.It had been six years since she had talked to him with a smile in her eyes like she used to and all of this was because of what happened with Elena.If there was anyone who hated him because of Elena, it was definitely her. She liked Elena and while they were still together, she used to come over once in a while just to keep her company.The two liked each other so much and back then, he hated that his sister, Chloe, was unnecessarily nice to the woman.When Chloe heard that he had divorced Elena, she yelled, cried, and pleaded with him to bring her back but it was out of his control too.He could not even find a shadow that looked like her.Her and her family’s whereabouts were encrypted and there was no way he could track her.Was she aware that Elena was back?Of course, a lot of TV stations must be circulating he
“Hold on!” Elena stopped walking and turned to look at Ariana and her twins who ran towards her.“What?”Ariana shook her head, covered the space between her and her sister, and then helped her adjust her shirt very well. Elena was wearing a pink shirt and a black suit pant which made her look so professional and corporate.“It’s your first day at work,” Ariana smiled.“You are making it sound like it is a big deal.”“Because it is. You have not worked in over five years and all you have done is supervise anonymously.”Elena nodded her head and smiled. “I know, but it’s not a big deal still.”“I know you are nervous. You can’t lie to me.”Elena breathed out. “Nothing gets past you, does it?” “It is fine, okay? You are doing well.”“I feel like all my moves will be watched now that I am back and… with my past story too. I did not expect everyone to know that I was his ex.”“The Internet does not forget, Elena,” Ariana said and she nodded her head.“You said you met him at the event?
Everyone murmured as she said and then made her way to the elevator while a lady rushed after her. As they entered and the elevator closed, she took a last glance at the surprise that was still plastered across their faces.The woman in the elevator shifted uncomfortably in front of her and she raised her brows. “Why? Do I make you uncomfortable?”“N… no! Not at all,” she stuttered, her head bowed.“Oh?” Elena chuckled.“I… I am your Secretary. I am Marvella Hayes,” she introduced.“Marvella…” Elena smacked her tongue and then nodded her head.She knew about the lady and how capable she was even in her absence. Maybe what everyone didn’t know was that, apart from the CCTV cameras that were evident, there were hidden cameras at every angle, hidden or not, in the company which delivered everything, including what they were saying to give her accurate information about what happened every day in the company, so yes, many people will be fired today.The elevator finally stopped, and Mar
Elena swept her hair rather roughly to the back and stood from the chair, her brows snapped together.“Excuse me?”Zeke looked around again, nodded his head, settled on the chair in the office, and then crossed his legs together.Was he enjoying this?No.But, there was absolutely no other way to meet Elena other than this.Even her cellphone number was encrypted and he could not find it.Why was she hiding and being secretive so much?He knew that if he did not talk to her or go to her, she would not come to him.Well, maybe unless they meet at public gatherings.Elena was bent on avoiding him, and that was evident.He, on the other hand, was not ready to avoid her. He wanted to talk to her.He… wanted to settle things.Since the day he had seen her again, it was most safe to say that he could not close his eyes without seeing the woman.Zeke knew nothing about the reason he was feeling this way because of the woman, but he was bent on settling things and making her forgive him.Elen
“You are insane,” Elena shook her head and pushed her chair to the back.“It is your fault, Elena,” he stood upright and dipped his hands in his pocket.They both stared at each other for how long God knows before she tore her eyes away and dropped them on the screen in front of her.“Meeting is over, Mr. Russo.”“I will draft a business proposal and bring it down here myself. If you are not comfortable meeting here. I suggest we meet somewhere private,” he smirked knowing and she raised a brow.“I’d advise you to use that time to visit a psychiatrist. I am not doing any business with you.”He nodded his head, glanced at his wrist watch and smiled.“I will bring to you the most profitable deal that you would not want to turn down. Trust me, you would never see such an offer elsewhere.”“You seem to overestimate yourself too much, don’t you?” She raised a brow.“Trust me, I am more capable than what I give myself credit for,” he shrugged pridefully.“The media knows that… and you do to
“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
