View MoreTristan and Anna sat in the backseat of Tristan’s BMW, the thick silence between them almost suffocating then. After the awkward incident at the office, Tristan found it hard to speak to Anna. He couldn’t believe that he acted in such a manner. Moving his head slowly, Tristan stole a glance at Anna, her face slightly turned towards the window.‘She’s probably wondering what has come over me.’ Tristan thought, replaying the scene from his office in his mind. He was known to be calm, never letting his thoughts be known to others but, he had acted boldly, almost recklessly in front of everyone at the office.That wasn’t like him.Tristan wondered why he acted in such a manner. It wasn’t like anything bad had happened to Anna. Just the news of her whereabouts not being known scared him to death and the thought of her being with her ex, Jacob infuriated him more than losing a billion-dollar contract would.‘What the fuck is wrong with you, Tristan? Why can’t you control yourself when it c
After the awkward encounter with Nathan, Shayne found it hard to concentrate on anything. No matter how much she tried, she could still feel his hot breath fanning her face and his deep voice confessing to wanting her. Shayne had even forgotten how she got out of that situation as she didn’t think it would be possible. “Miss Wellington, is everything okay?” A voice brought her back to reality and when she looked up, it was none other but the devil himself, smiling at her with an innocent look on his face. Shayne wondered how he was able to act so normal around her after what had just happened. ‘Does he have multiple personalities?’ She thought, staring at him closely. “Are you with us, Miss Wellington?” She heard him ask again and just as she was about to respond harshly, she finally became aware of her surroundings. Other than Nathan, there were others in the room, and by others, it was Jacqueline and about ten other new people. She would have embarrassed herself if she had given
After she met with Emma, Anna returned to the Wades Estate building to finish up with the work she had for the day. As she walked into her office, her secretary, Samantha followed behind her with a tired look.“Good day, Mrs Reyes.” She greeted and waited for Anna to settle down before starting with her questions.“Good day to you too, Samantha. I know, I know. I have a lot of work to attend to, don’t I?” Anna teased with a playful wink and Samantha resisted the urge to frown.“Forgive me for asking, ma’am but, where have you been?” Samantha questioned.“I had a meeting outside work, Samantha. You don’t need to look at me like that. It was a personal matter that needed to be handled immediately.” Anna defended with a straight face.“Tell me, Samantha, did something happen while I was away?” She asked and Samantha shook her head.“Mr Reyes almost had my head while looking for you. He tried calling you several times but you never picked up. I thought I was going to lose my job, Ma’am.”
“Have you gone mad, Emma?” Garcia challenged with wide eyes. Her body shook with anger and all she wanted to do was pounce on Emma who had suddenly forgotten her manners at whatever place she was just returning from.With a smirk plastered to her face, Emma raised a brow and laughed hysterically. “I expected that.” She said, nodding like a maniac.“What?” She scoffed when she saw the look of horror on Garcia’s face. “Why do you look shocked? I have always been this way. Why is it suddenly a surprise to you?” Emma added.It was true that she had always had a sharp mouth, it she always apologized after a few seconds and returned to her senses. Garcia could sense that things were different this time around. Five minutes had passed and no word of regret had left her lips.As Garcia opened her lips to reply, she saw the door to the living room open and her son, Jacob walked in, still clad in his suit.“Ahh!” She screamed dramatically and fell to the ground, holding her cheek like she had j
“Are you attracted to me, Miss Wellington?” Nathan asked with both his brows raised in curiosity. “What?” Shayne’s voice came out louder and her tone was harsher than intended. She was sure it looked like she was being defensive but, there was no way she was letting a claim about her being attracted to a Wade go unanswered. “Not, Mr Wade. I don’t know about you but, I do not mix business with pleasure and I certainly have no plans of liking a Wade. I’d rather die than do that.” She finished strongly, her gaze on him showing how much she meant what she said. As Shayne finished her last sentence, she was hurt flash through Nathan’s eyes and he did not attempt to hide it. She was sure it had to be something. There was no way he was feeling bad because of her statement. It wasn’t as if he even had romantic feelings for her. Right? Right? A few seconds later, Shayne saw Nathan’s eyes darken and before she could register what was going on, she was being dragged to God-knows-where, and
“If you don’t mind me asking, Anna. Why are you helping me? What’s in it for you?” Emma inquired with a suspicious look.She couldn't understand why Anna would be so enthusiastic about helping her. What even shocked her was that Anna already had a perfect plan laid out.Surely, she wasn't so smart to have come up with those ideas on the spot.The corners of Anna’s mouth twitched and her brows creased. It wasn’t't a question she expected and more especially, from Emma. She wasn't going to reveal the truth about her relationship with the Wades to Emma just yet so, she had to rake her head for a lie.“I sympathize with you, Emma.” The words rolled off her lips easily and her demeanor matched her tone, making it hard for Emma to not believe her.When Anna saw that she had Emma's attention, she continued. “I already had my suspicions about your marriage during my short visit to the Wade mansion. I could sense that you were not being treated properly.” Anna paused to lower her head and act
“You have nothing to worry about, Emma. I will make sure nothing happens to your marriage.” Anna promised with a reassuring smile. Deep down, she knew she wasn’t going to make any effort to help save their marriage.How could she when it was exactly what she wanted?She needed Emma out of Jacob’s life for her plan to work and thanks to Jacob’s foolishness, things were working in her favor.“I will do my best to talk to Jacob but, I think it will be better not to worry about him or his family. It’s not like you’re in love with him, you just need him for your family’s safety,” Anna added after a while and Emma’s head shot up.Seeing that she now had her attention, Anna decided to fuel up things.“Listen, Emma, you might think him divorcing you is a bad thing but, I think it’s the best. Thankfully, you didn’t bring it up so, you have nothing to lose in case the divorce happens.” Anna explained but Emma was worried about other things.“I can’t allow that, Anna. My family needs the Wades.
Anna sat comfortably on her King sized with a scowl on her face as she watched Jacob act like a father, something he should have done a long time ago. It amused her that he was willing to go to such lengths just so he could win her back.“Oh, Jacob.” Anna scoffed, shaking her head as she saw him smile while forcing himself on her poor son.She was about to drop her iPad when she heard say. “He will get familiar with me in a few days. After all, blood is thicker than water.”Anna held herself from punching his face through the iPad, wanting to wipe the stupid smirk off his face.Rolling her eyes, Anna replied even though he couldn't hear her. “Blood is thicker than water, you say. Tsk tsk tsk.” She shook her head and chuckled darkly.“You are a year and five months late for this, my darling.” She grimaced, clutching the iPad as though it was Jacob’s neck.No longer interested in seeing the face of her ex, Anna switched the iPad off and laid flat on the bed, various thoughts racing thro
After Jacob’s weird comment, Emma begins to notice that he is more vocal about the way he feels about her unlike before when he barely spoke. The Wade mansion suddenly became hard for her to live in thanks to Jacob. “You’re not even fit to be a mother. I should have gotten a better woman to raise my son. You are doing a terrible job.” Jacob said during one of the family’s dinners, leaving Emma stunned. “Why would you speak to your wife like that?” Garcia scolded immediately while Emma stared at him with wide eyes but Jacob only scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Wife? Please, mother. We both know she is nothing of that sort. The only reason she is in this house is because we needed a woman with a strong family name as my wife.” Jacob retorted and pointed his fingers at Emma. “This woman has done nothing but lazy around since she got into this house while pretending to be my wife to the whole world.” He snarled and turned to his father. “Let's be very honest, father. We don't need her f
