“Help me, Mateo.”

Ramon breathed heavily and waited for his brother to respond to him from the other end but he did not.

“I am fucking tired… and I am losing my patience.”

“I feel like… I… I could kill him.”

“Who do you wanna kill?” Mateo finally asked, chuckling.

“Zeke, of course, Zeke!”

“You wanna kill your cousin?” Mateo burst into laughter.

Ramon needed not to be told that the man was being sarcastic at the moment.

“Spare me that shit. He ain’t my brother.”

“Why are you suddenly losing your patience? I thought it was going well.”

“Elena has wavered totally and at this point, I can never get her!”

“And you want to kill Zeke because of that? Wait, you don’t believe she would come to you if you did that, do you?”

“She has found solace in me before, she can again. Or better still, if I can’t have her, he can’t have her too. I can’t stand them together!” He hollered.

“Chill, Tiger, chill.”

    “What have you done to yourself, Ramon?” Ray asked the man in a whisper, bewildered at the sudden change in his behavior “What have I done to myself? You truly ask that of me, father?” “I do! What the hell is going through your head?!” “Why do all of you disregard me this way too?!” He screamed out. Elena drew her brows together as she stared at him. Was there something else included that she was not aware of? This man was acting like a total psycho! “For the last four years, I took this family as my own! I ate on the same plate as you! I took you two as my parents. I love Elena and you know that! I took her children as mine but… but how could you all turn against me because of Zeke?!” “What are you say—” “I know she plans on reconsidering that mother fucker!” He cut the man short. “Ariana who used to like me before…” “Don’t say my name one more time!” She snapped him shut. One thing she was good at was switching on people. Not in the wrong way, though. She kn

    Zeke got down from the car after he got to the location on the map, looked around, and then sighed. He removed his phone from his pocket and then dialed the number again. Hearing it ring just away from him, he looked around again and then began to trace where it was coming from. As he got under a big tree, he stopped walking and looked down at the kids who sat on the floor and then raised their heads to look at him. He ended the call, returned the phone to his pocket, and then rested his hands on his waist before he breathed out. “God.” As he looked at them, he knew it was taking everything in them to not rush at him and hug him, but instead, they chose to sit there, looking as though he had betrayed them. “Will you hug Daddy, please?” He spread his arms wide. Finally, Nathan stood up and then helped his sister up, and helped her to adjust her head warmer before they moved over to him. He went on his knees and when they got to him, and wrapped his arms around them.

    As they got down from the car, and approached the big door to the living room, Zeke’s eyes lit up as he saw Elena rushed out of the door and tightened his grip on the shopping bags in his hands.“Elena,” he smiled.For some reason, the thought of Elena in his house, awaiting his return brought warmth to his heart. What if… what if every day were like this?When the twins suddenly halted and hid behind their father, Zeke stopped walking and chuckled.“You should go and hug your mummy. She is not mad at you, okay?”They hesitated for a while before they moved away gently from him and then walked towards Elena whose hands rested on her waist.“We are sorry, mama,” Nathan said as he wrapped his arms around her hips.“We are sorry,” Natalie mumbled too, and wrapped her arms around her mother.She looked down at them, breathed out, and patted the back of their head before she moved away from them.Leaning down to their height, she shook her head and then started, “Do you want to kill me?”“

    Loosening up gently in his arms, Elena grabbed the hem of his cloth tightly and then kissed him back as though her life depended on it.She took charge of his lower lips while he sucked her upper lips so hungrily, yet passionately.Moaning in his mouth, Elena stiffened gently and then opened her eyes while her lips were still in his mouth.Slowly, she broke the kiss, panting heavily. “Elena…” Zeke groaned.She breathed out, released her grip on his cloth, and then covered her mouth with the back of her hand.“No, no, not that look, Elena,” Zeke covered the space between them and wrapped his arm around her waist.Overwhelmed, she hiccuped and then bit her lower lips gently.“Give me a chance again, please,” he whispered.“Zeke, N—”“I love you,” he cut her short.“You are mistaken.”He leaned closer to her and dropped a quick kiss on her lips which made her frown and he tilted his head. “I am not mistaken.”“Zeke, we can’t…”“I know you have no good memory of this place…” he rolled hi

    “W… were you two watching us?!” She shouted, glancing around.Turning to look at Zeke who burst into a loud laughter, she glared at him, moved closer to him, and then hit the side of his stomach with the back of her hand.“It is not funny!”Zeke nodded his head, struggling to stop laughing. Out of everything, her facial expressions were more funny.She looked like she was caught doing something bad.“We did not exactly watch you,” Nathan defended.“We just raised the curtain for a while to check up on you and we saw you doing that,” the girl raised her brows playfully.“And it looked quite intense so we didn’t want to disrupt anything,” Nathan added.“Shut up, shut up!” She snapped and Zeke laughed out again.“I’m sorry,” he waved his hands at her when she threw him a deadly stare.“So, why did you two kiss if you have not… like reconciled?” Natalie asked.Elena scratched her forehead and shook her head, “We didn’t kiss exactly.”“Oh…” the kids’ mouths formed an O in a quite sarcastic

    “What?” Mateo laughed from the other end of the phone which made Ramon cussed inwardly.“I am coming back.”“When?”“Now. I’m at the airport.”A short silence ensued for a while before Mateo chuckled again.“Did something happen?”“Of course, and I can’t stay here any longer. At least for now.”“She rejected you again.”“It is not funny.”“Actually, I find it amusing that you are joining this fight because of a woman.”“My mistake was joining later. I will do anything as long as it would ruin Zeke.”“Ooooh, how much you have grown, brother!” He laughed.“I will be in Italy soon.”After he dropped the call, he glanced at the last-minute flight ticket in his hand and then exhaled.After Elena had gone to pick up the kids which he was certain were with Zeke, Ray had bluntly said to his face that he was disappointed in him and would not want to see him again.How could all of them turn on him in that manner?Karina who was most nicest amongst them all turned her back to him too and then h

    Zeke opened his eyes finally, closed them back, and then tugged his lips gently into a smile.The kids were still sleeping soundly beside him and the sound of their soft snores sounded like music to his ears.He did not know he could sleep well because just like they were medicines, he had slept off too while he patted their back and told stories to them.Yeah, stories.The previous night, Nathan and Natalie rushed to his bed and then told him to come to their middle, which he did without much query.After he lay in the middle, he covered their body with a duvet before they asked that he tell them a story.“You are joking,” he shook his head, chuckling.“No, we are not,” Natalie shook her head too.He exhaled and smiled, thinking of excuses to bring up but they were adamant.Finally, he settled for one. One that was only imaginary that he wondered if the children would find it fun.“So… once upon a time,” he started.They scooted closer to him and he grinned harder.Even if he truly h

    “What were you saying?” He asked as his eyes finally dropped on the photo book and the huge frame in Nathan’s hand.“Where did you get those?” He asked again.He had just finished cooking when the door had pushed open and Ryan had rushed in.“Hey, dude! What is going on?!” He exclaimed in pure surprise as the man had not informed him before coming.And not like he actually minded, he just knew that Ryan would not have shown up at his place unannounced very early in the morning.“Hey,” Ryan shook his hands before his eyes trailed down to the apron that was tied around his waist.“Ah… I just finished cooking,” he explained and untied it gently.“You… were cooking?” He raised a brow.“Yes. I made a very nice delicacy,” he smiled.“Since when did you start cooking?” Ryan laughed.“Well… I want to make their food by myself today.”“Who?”“My…”“Daddy!”And the screams of the children cut him short.“We found a room opened and it was there,” he answered as he handed the frame over to his fa

    “THIS IS OUR NEW HOUSE?!!!”Natalie’s scream encircled the whole house and Elena and Zeke turned to look at her, smiling.It was the second day after the wedding and they had spent the night at the hospital before coming here.“God, God, God! This is so crazy!” Nathan yelled.“Language, boy,” Elena smacked her tongue.“Daddy, mommy, this house is so…! Huge! It is freaking huge!” Natalie cried out.She rushed to the couple and then hugged them tightly together.The excitement on their faces was everything.Zeke wouldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear as he watched his children look around the living room.“Before we take a full tour, do you both wanna see your room?” He asked and then jumped in in excitement.“Yes!”“Follow me,” he took Elena’s hand and then walked to the stairs gently while they both trailed after them, holding hands too.Their room was on the third floor, the same floor as theirs and when they got there, Zeke curled his fist into a ball and then smiled.“I will open t

    FINALE.“Everyone, my name is Natalie!”Came the tiny, adorable voice of the girl which made everyone murmur in excitement.“Hello everyone, I am Natalie, the older twin of my mommy and daddy,” she introduced again and the couple laughed where they sat.“Today, I stand before you… to read my heartfelt letter to my mommy and daddy,” she said again.“It’s all written here,” she brought out a paper, “But, I would not be reading it. As I have something else to say to them… from the depth of my heart.”“So…” she sniffed and then looked around at the pairs of eyes that were bored on her.Her palms were sweaty and her breath was getting heavier.Would it have been better if her aunt had read the letter instead of her?“Erm…” she stammered and looked around again.When her eyes landed on her brother, Nathan who gave her a thumbs up, she smiled gently and then nodded her head.“Today is a dream come true, everyone. Today… I am very happy to have been a part of our parents' ceremony. It has bee

    “Oh, my!”Chloe gasped as she stared at Elena and shook her head through teary eyes.“Don’t be dramatic,” Elena rolled her eyes.“Only that I am not!”Chloe breathed in as she took in every detail of the dress that she had made.This might actually be the best wedding dress that she had ever made.Elena, the bride stood radiantly, her grand white wedding dress shimmering around her like a celestial aura. The dress hugs her curves in all the right places, spotlighting her slender waist and toned physique.The fitted, mermaid silhouette showcases her feminine sculpture, while the sweetheart neckline frames her heart-shaped face and highlights her dazzling smile. Her long, flowing white sleeves cascade down her arms like a river of snow, with delicate, sparkling beads and detailed lace trim that catch the light.Elena makes a very beautiful bride, and she was glad she had the honor to make her beautiful on this day, her day.Elena and her brother were tying the knot today and she had bee

    “You really should not be doing this, Chloe, trust me,” Elena sighed as she stood in front of the woman who looked around for what to get, to begin with the measurements.“No, no. I am doing this. I will do this. I must make your wedding dress, what are you saying?” She frowned and then grabbed the measuring tape.Chloe had remained adamant and no matter how much she had tried to stop her from worrying about making her wedding dress, she didn't listen.It’s been two weeks already since she had gotten engaged to Zeke, and then in a month, they would be getting married.If it were up to Zeke and his mother alone, the marriage would be taking place the following week after she got engaged, but she insisted on going slow.In fact, to her, getting married a month and two weeks after she got engaged to him was slow too but they were going to pull it through anyway.Of course, she wanted to be married again.In fact, she could not wait to be married to the man who had brought so much joy to

    Waking up the next morning, Zeke had the widest grin on his face.The kids were sleeping heavily in their middle with their arms and legs crossed around he and Elena’s bodies.They snored so gently and he found that cute.Now that he was looking at them, the kids had the same sleeping style as Elena.Their legs spread wide, dropping on each other, their arms wide, and while one was dropped on their heads, the other was spread widely beside them.Their mouths were parted very gently.He chuckled, leaned closer to the drawer beside the bed, and then picked up his phone.He took a picture of them together while he carefully ensured that he didn’t wake any of them.After that, he took a personal one of Elena and zoomed in closer in order to capture her face.When Elena suddenly stirred in her sleep, he returned his phone and then dropped his head like he was sleeping.But that was all, the woman was still enjoying herself as she didn’t open her eyes.He chuckled, got out of the bed gently

    She finally raised her head to see the people around them.Her mother, her father, and her sister.Zeke's family was not excluded. Including the couples who had been out of the country for their honeymoon, Chloe and Ryan.Unable to hold back her tears, she burst into tears and sniffed back hurriedly.“W… what are you… doing?” her voice broke as she asked no one in particular.The twins said nothing and made way for Zeke who covered the space between them and then picked up her hands in his.He kissed the back of her hand and then went on a kneel gently.“Zeke,” Elena mumbled.“So, I thought hard and thoroughly about how to do this properly. To give you the proposal that you deserve, but, this is all that I could settle with. You deserve way more than this and I would do anything in the world to prove to you how amazing and precious you are. We… We have had our ups and downs. I have fuck— messed up many times…” “And you do not deserve the things that I have done to you. You have no id

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S EX-WIFE SWEETEST REVENGE.   241. MERRIMENT MOMENT.

    It has been nearly two weeks since Elena and Zeke had become so open with their relationship. Over a couple of times, the paparazzi had caught them during dates and had released numerous articles about them.Although people were happy for them, there were still some people who wondered why they had divorced in the first place and if it was right that they returned together.But, she knew what she was getting back to. Elena had told Ariana that.“Not everyone will be happy with the choice that I have made and a lot might hate me for that, in fact. But, everything that I am doing is for me and my babies alone. Everything that I do is for my happiness and I am ready to deal with anything that comes with it,” She had said to Ariana that day after dinner in her room.The woman had shown concern on how the netizens were trolling her but it still would not change the fact that a larger netizen was rooting for her and Zeke.“Do you think he wants to propose?” Elena asked Ariana who helped he

    Zeke turned to look at the woman who sat beside him in the car, humming as gently she could, happiness written all over her.His mind went to the box that was in his car’s dashboard and how she had rejected it this morning, telling him, “I will not accept this… at least, not like this.”And then, it occurred to him that he needed to propose grandly to her.That was his original plan, but, all of a sudden, he could not wait and just wanted to tell her everything.“Are you sure you don’t want to go home first?” Zeke asked her, and then dropped his hand on her thigh.“I have totally forgotten that there was a meeting this morning. I could just dismiss it but I have done that too much this year.”“It does not matter.”“It does, so, step on it. The meeting will start soon.”“Yes, ma’am!” He exclaimed, moved his hand away, and then stepped on the pedal.•••“Should I pick you up when you’re done with work?” He asked her as he pulled in front of the company.“No, no, I’ll just call my chauff

    “Babe…”He kissed her lips gently and bore his eyes on her.She yawned and stirred in her sleep before she squinted her eyes open.“Why?”“Are you hungry? I want to order food for us,” he said, while he kissed her neck.“God, did you wake me up for that?” She frowned, stretched lazily, stretched her arms and wrapped them around his neck, and then locked her legs around his waist.“Babe…”“What is the time?” She groaned.“It’s past nine.”She widened her eyes, sat upright, and then shook her head, “We should get going!”“Shall we?” He tilted his head, wrapped his arm around her stomach, and then pulled her back to the bed.“What are you doing? Everyone will be waiting for me!” She laughed as he tickled her.“I have called Ariana that you’re not coming home tonight. So, no one will wait for you,” he kissed her.“Oh, Zeke.”“What do you want to eat?” He asked again and then kissed her ear.“What do I want to eat…” she drawled gently in an accent.===THE NEXT MORNING.Waking up next to h
