"If you are not like them, why haven't you told the world about what they did to my sister?" Shayne pursed her lips at him and folded her arms while Nathan looked like he had been slapped in the face. No matter how he searched, he couldn't find an answer to give her. A few seconds later, he sighed and lowered his head. "I…I can't. It will destroy my family." He whispered but Shayne heard him loud and clear. She scoffed and rolled her eyes at his statement. "Of course, you can't. Why would you? It's like I said, you are a Wade. I hope that explains why I hate you." She said and stood up. "If that is all, Mr Wade, I'll take my leave now." She finished and turned around to leave but Nathan held her hand before she could leave and stopped her. "Wait, please." He pleaded. "I do not want us to be enemies, Shayne. We don't have to be enemies especially now that we will be working together. It will be best if we are on good terms, don't you think?" "You don't have to worry about that,

Anna returned home earlier than expected as she no longer had a reason to stay at the Wade mansion. She could stand Emma’s presence but, not Garcia’s. After Jacob, it was Garcia she hated the most, and the last thing she wanted was to be in the same room with her for a long time. She was sure she wouldn’t be able to hold herself from doing something she might regret.When she arrived home, both Shayne and Tristan had still not returned so, she decided to keep an eye on her son through her iPad. She had been doing that all through the car ride. Anna was sure this was going to be a new addiction of hers.She took off her clothes quickly, freshened up, and changed into new clothes before laying on the bed and taking her iPad out. When she opened the screen, Rowan’s face was smiling down at the camera as he played with it. Since Carla knew about the hidden camera, she had turned to bracelet around so Anna could see her son. It was only when they were in the presence of the other members o

After dinner, Anna followed Tristan into his room, telling him that they needed to speak. After their meeting at the dining table, she had been disturbed. “Is there a problem, Anna?” He asked, getting comfortable on his bed. Anna took a deep breath before nodding and sitting next to him. “What is your relationship with the Wades?” She suddenly asked and Tristan froze for a second before recollecting himself quickly. “What?” He asked. “You know everything about my relationship with the Wades but I do not know why you have so much hatred for them. How can we be partners if you continue to keep things like this from me? I should know what relationship you have with them if we are to work together.” Anna said, her eyes begging him to say something. Tristan lowered his head and shut his eyes, battling within himself. “Please, Tristan. It's obvious that this a big secret that you have been carrying for a long time but you can trust me.” Anna sighed and reached out to touch him.

“I was not able to protect my mother from that family but I swear on my life, Anna. I will protect you and my son.”These words kept replaying in Anna’s mind all night.‘Does Tristan think of Asher as his son?’ The thought went through Anna’s mind even when she closed her eyes.The thought of Tristan living with her and her son, Asher as his father made butterflies fill her tummy. They would make the perfect family!“Jesus Christ, Anna! The man hasn’t even said anything! You’re getting way ahead of yourself.” She scolded and shook her head violently before forcing herself to bed, pushing thoughts about Tristan to the back of her head.Before she gave in to the darkness, she suddenly remembered that Tristan was William Wade’s first son. If that was true, it meant that he was the true heir to the Wade empire.Anna wondered if Garcia knew about it or if any of her sons knew about a secret child.A smirk appeared on Anna’s lips as she realized that she just found another secret that could

“The project will be concluded in three years; during those three years, forty percent of every profit made will belong to Reyes Estate. After three years, Reyes Estate will own fifteen percent of Wades Estate. Are both parties comfortable with this?” Tristan’s lawyer, Carl asked, holding the documents that would seal the fates of the two families. “Yes. Please, carry on.” William answered immediately with a broad smile and Tristan nodded before motioning for Mr Blackwood to continue. Once he had confirmed that both parties were in agreement, he opened the document and passed it to Tristan while William’s lawyer, Brent, handed a copy of it to William. Under the watchful eyes of the press, both parties signed the documents, and the project was set in motion. With the same broad smile on his face, William stood and held out his hands to Tristan for a handshake. “Partners?” William said and taking the large cameras watching into consideration, Tristan stood and took the hand

“I have made up my mind, Anna. I will divorce Emma and marry you.” Jacob said with a wide grin on his face while Anna almost left her mouth wide open out of shock.This was the last thing she expected him to say. Even though she had given him the ultimatum herself, she didn’t expect him to obey her.“What did you just say?” Anna asked with her brows creased and her mouth parted slightly.“You heard me, Anna. I have decided to follow my heart and my heart wants you.” Jacob replied and took a step forward, closing their distance.“I know, Anna. I know I messed up. I shouldn’t have thrown you out the way I did and believe me, I have been living in regret for a while now.” Jacob confessed, his eyes showing how sincere he was.“Since you returned, I have been able to take my mind off you, Anna. I spend every single day thinking of you and wishing to be the man next to you. Do you know how jealous I get whenever I see you next to Tristan? That is meant to be my place, Anna.” He raised his v

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

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

“Come, let’s go to my room. We should be careful, even in my house.” Anna said and led Emma to a guest room in the house.Even though she was now working with Emma to bring down the Wades, she wasn’t going to trust her fully as there was still a chance Emma might want to betray her. The only people Anna could fully trust were her sister and Tristan.She still had to be careful with others even though they seemed nice.“There’s a lot in here, Anna. William has more secrets than we thought.” Emma said as she placed the bag on the bed once they were inside the cozy room.“Show me.” Anna requested eagerly and Emma nodded as she started pulling out the items she had stolen from William’s secret room.“I didn’t even have enough time to go through them because of how many they are.” Emma shook her head and handed Anna a stack of files she had compiled.“I have gone through these though….they are terrible. I cannot believe he is respected in this country. Once this leaks, he will definitely b
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate Caught!
“Someone was in here!” William said angrily and stormed into the living room, his face twisted in rage. He didn’t want to cause a scene because there were secrets hidden in that room that no one was to ever find out and if Jacob or Garcia saw him getting so worked up about someone going into his room, they would wonder what was in it that he wanted to hide so badly. So, he called one of the maids and had her call the others to his study.“Get everyone to my study, now!” He yelled at the young maid who immediately scurried off to grab the other staff.The maids scattered at the entrance of his study, unsure of the source of his anger as they sensed trouble on the way.“Which one of you came into my study?!” He barked, his voice echoing through the four walls of the study.The maids exchanged confused glances as they silently questioned each other. Tracy, one of the older maids decided to speak up and save everyone from William’s wrath.“Pardon me, sir, but, none of us came into this fl

“Emma?” An overly familiar voice called out and Emma froze. When she looked up, she found William standing beside his son, Jacob. They both stared at her with suspicion as she never frequented the area unless she was being called.“What are you doing here?” William asked, narrowing his eyes at her Emma’s heart pounded harshly against her chest and her mind raced, searching for a lie to get her out of the situation she was in.“I…I..uh.. the thing is…” She stammered but couldn’t form any coherent sentence.“What are you doing in this hallway, Emma? You know it belongs to Father and I don’t think you were sent by anyone so what the fuck are you doing here?” Jacob yelled, his gaze sharp and full of suspicion.Emma knew that she had to say something fast if she didn’t want them to throw her out right there so, she said the first thing that entered her head.“I was looking for you, Jacob. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find you so I decided to come here since I know you visit here freq
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate Unveiled Secrets
Emma stared at the now-revealed door with her jaw on the ground. Her pulse quickened and her feet trembled but, she was determined to uncover whatever secret was hidden behind the door so, she stepped in. There was a dark hallway, the only source of light being a dim light which was at the end of the hallway. She finally reached the end of the hallway and a door came into view. Emma said a small prayer before reaching for the doorknob and to her surprise, it wasn’t locked. Her heart thundered in her chest as the door creaked open, revealing a small, dimly lit room. It was almost like a private lounge with leather couches, a glass coffee table, and a running air conditioner. The air in the secret room was cold with a faint scent of cigarettes. This meant that the room wasn’t abandoned. If anything, it was still very much in use. But she wasn’t there to gaze at the mysterious room so, she blinked and readied herself. “Alright, Emma.” She whispered to herself in a barely audible voi

THE WADE MANSIONEmma sat on her king-sized bed, her mind filled with various thoughts. With her family’s name on the decline and her father on the verge of imprisonment for money laundering, she had lost all the modeling projects she was handling and had received cancellation emails from other brands that wanted to work with her.Her life was falling apart and there was nothing she could do.The last few days had been hard for her as she could feel the tension in the Wade mansion. She knew that something big was about to happen. She could feel it.Jacob’s attitude had become worse and even his parents were no longer on her side. Not that they were ever on her side.Her only option was Anna, the only person who had offered to help her. She understood that if she wanted to save her family and herself, she had to listen to Anna. There was no time to be suspicious of her.A knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts. Garcia opened the door and walked in, a false smile on her face.

“I have made the necessary preparation. I will be divorcing Emma next week after the party to make room for you in my life.”Anna stared at Jacob with her eyes wide open and her jaw almost on the ground, the weight of his words hanging in the air.She knew he was a fool who didn't think before acting but this…this was unexpected. She could tell from his expression that he had not sat down to think things through properly. If he had, he wouldn't have been so eager to go through with the divorce. Any sane person would be suspicious of their ex-girlfriend who they treated badly suddenly coming back into their lives and acting like everything was great between them.“Are you being serious right now, Jacob?” Anna asked, her voice steady but the shock in her eyes remained. “On what grounds are you asking for a divorce? I don't think Emma has done anything bad enough to warrant a divorce.” Anna said, pretending to care about his marriage.“We aren't a real couple, Anna. Getting a divorce wou

“You are openly seducing the CEO to keep your job because you are talentless.”A surge of irritation rose within Shayne but, she maintained her composure. The last thing she was going to do was stoop to their level and exchange words with them. So, with a smile on her face, she held her head eye and walked to them.“I don't have to seduce him, my darling. He's the one swooning over me. Too bad no one has noticed you….either of you. You seem like the talentless one to me.” She mocked, leaving them with their jaws on the floor.“Now, If you'd excuse me. This talentless person has a shoot to do. There's no time for me to be lazying around doing nothing. I'll give you some advice; you should change this nasty character of yours. Maybe then you'd stop being an MIT.” Shayne said to both of them, referring to them as a Model-In-Training.Before any of them could give her a response, the door opened to reveal her manager who informed her that her shoot begins in ten minutes. She turned and gr

“Since your morning schedule has been cleared out, you will be spending the rest of the morning with me.”Shayne blinked, completely caught off guard by his bluntness. She had known for a long time that the man was bold but, this was…unexpected.“Let me take you to a restaurant for a light snack. I know you already had breakfast so we won’t be ordering anything heavy. I know models don’t eat much.” He said, gesturing for her to join him. “We’ll only be out for an hour or two. You have nothing to be worried about.”Shayne stared at him with her lips parted. She couldn’t believe his guts. She wondered if this was how all rich men behaved.Shayne opened her mouth to speak, ready to decline his offer and walk out of his office but, she immediately had a second thought. It was just breakfast and it was going to be in an open space. There was no way anything would happen.‘Having a little snack with him wouldn’t hurt.’ She thought. Besides, she had only taken a cup of coffee before leaving

“You’re getting this wrong, Shayne. I didn’t do this. Mr Wade did it himself. He cleared out your schedule.”Her mouth parted slightly, both intrigued and annoyed. “Nathan did this? Why?”“I have no idea, Shayne. But, hey! You have a lot of free time. I think it’s a win.” Luca shrugged and flashed her a wink before he walked out of the dressing room.As soon as he left, Shayne grabbed her purse from the table and marched to the last floor. She wanted to hear from Nathan himself why he cleared her schedule.Shayne got off the elevator and searched for Nathan’s office. She asked one of the workers on the floor who directed her to his office.“Can I help you?” A blonde who seemed to be in her early twenties stopped her before she could enter the office.“And you are?” Shayne asked in an impatient tone, her face twisted in annoyance.“Mr Wade’s secretary. Is there a problem?” The blonde asked with a scowl on her face. Upon hearing that the lady was Nathan’s secretary who was only doing he
