“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
The laughter went for minutes that Zeke and Camila unconsciously exchanged glances.“She is sick,” Camila shook her head.“What have you done?!”Zeke gnashed his teeth and released his grip from her.“Are you taking her side? Is this the re…”“Hi, ex-best friend,” Elena finally said, cutting them short.Camila turned her head to look at her and swallowed. “Hi.”Although she had seen recent articles that the woman had aired in and was even watching the interview before she made her way here, and she could say that Elena, her ex-best friend, looked like nothing she used to know.Of course, she was still gorgeous as hell. Her beauty… and body were so perfect that it always made her feel insecure of her own.She hated that Elena still had it all and did not realize how much she still hated the woman till she was looking at her.However, the cold aura that surrounded her was not to be missed. She stood upright and looked at her as though she was dirt and she hated that.The reason she had c
“Who got slapped?!”Zeke could only inhale deeply and lean back in his chair as he watched Ryan laugh.He could confidently say that he had never seen his friend laugh so hard in his life.He was laughing so hard that he could choke.“Camila,” he answered after he took a deep breath.“Wait, Elena slapped her?!” He asked again, this time water dripping down his eyes due to the laughter.Zeke shook his head and bit his lower lips gently.After Elena had left, he had also driven away after bading Camila a short goodbye. He had come to Ryan’s company immediately and well, the man reacted the exact way that he had pictured in his head.Camila slander?Ryan would definitely be there.If Camila had no haters, then, Ryan was probably deadIf Camila had only one hater, it was Ryan.Ryan hated Camila so much that anyone would wonder if it was possible to hate someone to that extent.There was a point he would not even want to hear her name because of the way he loathed her.So, receiving the n
Zeke hummed as he sat in the back seat of the car which was headed to Elena’s company.He shook his head in rhythm, glanced at the brown envelope beside him, and smiled.He did not doubt that Elena would accept this proposal.“Drive faster.”“Yes, sir.”As the driver increased the pace, Zeke removed his phone from his pocket and began to look on the internet ‘What to do to make a woman forgive them?”Amongst the many answers, he shook his head at them and only thought of the flowers.“Find a flower shop around.”__________As the car pulled to a stop in front of the company, one of the guards by the entrance rushed over to his car, opened the door for him and he got out of the car.Zeke adjusted his collar, and carried the bouquet of flowers in another hand and then the envelope in another hand.He walked to the entrance without answering any greetings as all that was on his mind was Elena, he entered the premises fully.===The secretary led him to the door and when they got there, s
