“That was the moment he saw the guy in my room because I upset him. I lied to him further, saying that I didn’t love him anymore. I said some mean things to him, and he lost control.”
Odette suddenly began coughing. “I need water, and Ezrah said we only have an hour.”
Michelle checked the time. They only had ten minutes left. “Let me get the water for you.”
“Do you know your way around?” Odette asked, wanting her to call Ezrah because she did not want to confess anymore, and neither could she lie to Michelle.”
Michelle stiffened slightly when she recalled that this wasn’t the hotel she was lodged in but rather Ezrah’s house, but luxury houses were always almost the same.
“Things are almost the same everywhere.”
Michelle returned with the water and asked her, “Would you have preferred if he had another woman on the side and gave you less attention?”
Odette quickly shook her head. “No, but would you w

“It’s all in the past now. We all grew up differently but with one thing in common, and that is love,” Odette said, a sad smile on her face.Michelle, however, did not agree with her.“No. She denied us being together, and you would have still found love with your real parents. That woman deserves to go to prison for her wrongs.”It pained her that her twin sister had been taken from her, and her eyes turned moist. Calmly, Odette squeezed her hand and said, "I know she deserves all that you are saying, but I am the victim here, and I choose to forgive. I hope you learn forgiveness sometime.”Odette did not mean to hit on her sore spot, but unfortunately, Michelle was affected by Odette’s words, asking herself if she was being mean.Was it that Odette did not desire the close bond she so wanted? Was it wrong for her to seek revenge on behalf of her twin sister? Also, was it wrong for her to want to be single after all that she’s been through? Odette’s voice cut through her thoughts o

Ezrah smiled bitterly. “How can you be so heartless?” he asked. Michelle was offended but relaxed when he explained.“Have you wondered what they are doing inside?” He caught Michelle’s cheeks crimson and smiled internally.“Is it so hard for you to understand that Coco would no longer be at your beck and call?”The understanding settled in that Coco had her work and the remaining time she had to split between Lake and Michelle, but Lake would always get a greater part because he was her man. It was a painful realization, making Michelle accept that she had to make some serious adjustments to contain the situation.That was the only way to not feel lonely. Michelle always kept to herself, though she was always in the limelight.If nothing else, she learned from Ezrah to keep her personal life private and as such, did not have many friends. It was the reason why even Edmund found it hard to break through, though Michelle let him in.She knew very well how to set boundaries and had to

They were both hurting, but Michelle accepted the challenge and lifted herself to a sitting position.Perhaps if Ezrah truly understood the depth of what she had gone through, he would give her the space she needed.“You told me never to speak directly to you. I should only communicate with you through your butler,” Michelle recalled vividly.Ezrah did not deny it but felt it was time to stop playing sorry and face reality.“I did, but you would have done the same if you were in my shoes,” Ezrah said seriously, growing irritated.Michelle was glad to have gotten him to this level and demanded, “Explain it.”Ezrah did not mind complying with her request but was concerned about her time and upcoming shoots.“Do you really have the time and energy for this? Your next shoot is four hours away, and you haven’t rested. Do you want to wake up with dark circles?” Ezrah asked.Michelle was amazed that he even knew her schedule and cared about how she would look on set. This was so strange to

“Just a week?” Michelle asked, not liking the idea of pretending to be Ezrah’s wife, though she couldn’t bring herself to hate him anymore.However, if she could prove to Ezrah that even though she might be in love with him, she preferred to live alone, then he would keep his promise and leave her be.A week wasn’t much. She could do it. Ezrah replied, “I promise.”Michelle pulled away and stared at him for a moment. “I will think about it. My mind is a mess right now, and my name is Michelle, not Zora.”Ezrah’s presence always clouded her mind, so she preferred to think about it in his absence.“I understand, but can you stop being cold towards me? Fortunately, Zora is the woman I fell in love with, so I can’t call you Michelle. That feels foreign to me,” Ezrah pleaded.If he could at least win her friendship, he wouldn’t mind taking the time to win her heart. As for the names, he had already done a lot with Zora and wasn’t willing to change them. He didn’t want to use that as a way
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 183 – Monster Family
Earlier in New York City, Madison woke up in Sebastian’s bed in the middle of the night, not recalling how she got there.His arms were comfortably wrapped around her as if it were the most natural thing to do. Madison wanted to move, but her attempt woke Sebastian.“How did I end up here? Did I drink too much last night?” She was thinking aloud, but Sebastian kissed her shoulder and caressed her body.“No, you were just tired and fell asleep,” her reassured her.Madison’s clothes from the time they ate, drank, and chatted together were still on, so she did not doubt Sebastian’s words.Also, she did not feel any different from her former self. “Alright, I have to prepare for work,” Madison said, trying to get up.Sebastian frowned and turned her to face him. He hadn’t slept much and had been waiting for her to wake up. “Hey, it’s 2 am.”“Oh,” Madison blushed shyly. It seemed they had gone to bed too early, but then again, they had both consumed a lot of red wine the previous day.“Yea

Sebastian drove to Madison’s office and was informed that she had left exactly at closing time.Due to the situation, he requested the CCTV footage, and there was nothing suspicious about her movements, except that she had left her phone at the office. Sebastian called the intercom number at the mansion, but there was no answer.‘Perhaps she was in the shower,’ Sebastian thought and drove home, but Madison was not there.Worried, he drove to the police station, but no search could be conducted due to the 24 – 48-hour rule.They were only able to help him track her car to a grocery store, but there was no sign of Madison after that.When he reached the store, the car was parked, locked, with no sign of Madison.Sebastian considered towing the car home but felt she might have gone to visit a friend since there was no sign of an attack or anything of that sort.Thinking of Madison’s circle of friends, he realized he did not know much about her, except for Michelle and Coco.He decided t

“If I find out that you had a hand in this, I swear to God, I would erase your whole generation,” Sebastian said through gritted teeth, fear dulling Piper’s gaze.“Men. You won’t believe it when a woman cheats on you. I have to go.” She swirled around and entered her car.The speed at which she drove out of the house made Sebastian even more suspicious of her, and he wanted to give her a chase.However, Madison was more important to him at the moment.As such, he did not stop Piper and turned the knob.The door was not locked, and it was easy to locate the bedroom where Madison was sleeping soundly in the arms of a familiar man. Her ex.Sebastian’s heart throbbed. He did not want to believe it.From how peacefully Phanuel slept as he held Madison to his chest, Sebastian felt both jealous and angry.Madison had accepted him as a boyfriend and had no right to go back to her ex without breaking up with him first.With that conviction, he went over, pulled Phanuel from the bed, and punche

“Did you do something to me?” Madison suddenly asked, feeling weak.She had no idea if Phanuel drugged and had sex with her, but her panty was intact, and she didn’t feel wet or anything.Not having a memory of everything that happened, she could not totally feel liberated.The question equally caught Sebastian’s attention, but Phanuel was now acting weird.“Why are you making me feel guilty? It wasn’t without your consent.”Madison’s heart sank, and she felt ashamed as tears blurred her eyes. “Where are my clothes?”“They are torn. Last night was wild and I planned to buy you some, but it’s late. Look, let’s get married and start a family. I have enough money,” Phanuel walked to her side and spoke but did not dare to touch her in Sebastian’s presence.Due to both parties being on different pages, Sebastian was still trying to detect who the liar was.Madison looked too betrayed to be guilty, but Phanuel spoke as if he had the facts.Madison’s responses to Phanuel kept hinting to Seba

Congratulations, Mr. Newman. Your wife is one month pregnant," the doctor declared, the atmosphere filled with excitement. The bond they shared brought them unparalleled happiness, each genuinely happy for their friends, including little Esther. Zora and Madison spent time with Coco, leaving Esther with the men. The triplets were adorable, the boys taking after their father and the girl after her mother. "I swear, Zora, this is my first and last time. It hurts like a bitch," Coco said, as Zora and Madison laughed. "I heard women were designed for this. You did amazing, mama. Congratulations," Zora kissed her on the forehead and said. Months later, Zora and Ezrah welcomed their twins, Eugene and Eugenia Gannon, and five months after, Madison had a baby boy, Justin. Esther was the best big sister anyone could ask for.

The day before, Rush had called to inform Ezrah and Zora that he and Odette had a son. Due to the distance, they had not yet visited, and now, he was meeting Lake at the hospital without Coco by his side.“Ezrah, what are you doing here?” Lake asked, his joy radiating on his face, but Ezrah was surprised to see him so happy at the hospital.“My wife fainted, and what are you doing here? I don’t remember the hospital being a place for happy people.”Lake laughed and made a joyful revelation. “My wife had triplets. Two boys and one girl. I was just about to call you.”Ezrah recalled Lake wishing for triplets; it seemed he got his heart's desire and something to keep his parents busy.“Congratulations, Lake, you got what you always wanted.”“Yeah, we found happiness. Congratulations to us, but what’s wrong with Zora?” Lake asked again, his joy fading due to the news about Zora, but Ezrah’s explanation lifted his spirits.“I suspect she’s pregnant. She refused to take the pregnancy test, a

“Lucas, you are insane. I will never choose you over Ethan, and I will never have anything to do with you again,” Ethel said through gritted teeth. Lucas was furious.“Then you leave me no choice,” he yelled and pulled the towel from her.She ran to seek cover in the closet, but he caught her and pulled her to his chest.Ethel felt ashamed and furious as her naked body pressed against his.She tried to free herself, but he was stronger and also drunk.“Why do you want to hide from me? We’ve had each other many times,” he cooed in her ear, but all she felt was disgust and anger.“We were married then, but not anymore. Just let me go,” she tried to push him away to no avail as he tried to force some alcohol down her throat.“I was ready to be kept on the side, but you refused.”After successfully getting the alcohol down her throat and watching her frown as he forced her to swallow it, his lips were closing in on hers.Ethel felt a burning sensation down her throat, and as a woman who n

Chapter 318 – I loved you before, but not anymoreA week ago, Ethel arrived home with Ethan, but he was called away to take care of a few things because Ezrah was still on his honeymoon.The past month and a few weeks had been peaceful, and with Ethel moving in with Ethan, she had no need for a bodyguard. However, on this particular night, things did not seem the same after Ethan left.Unlike his brothers, Ethan never had his domestic staff live with him, but after his mansion is ready, that will change.They were not only planning their wedding but also their future together. All that they wanted for their kids, they wanted to ensure they had it in the mansion.Ethel had gone to shower after a tiring day at work only to find Lucas seated on her and Ethan’s bed.“Jesus, what are you doing here?” She halted in her steps, right in front of the shower room door.Lucas looked drunk, which made Ethel scared. Before she could reach for her phone to call Ethan, Lucas took it from her and inst

“Why? Don’t you like it?” Ezrah asked teasingly. Zora screamed, “Like it? I love it, Ezrah. I’m a lover of pools, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.”She couldn’t take her eyes off her room. Everything was natural, with multiple pools scattered around.For the first time, words failed her when she tried to describe the aesthetics of the room.It looked as if it were carved out of natural rocks.Even the footsteps around were made of natural black stones, and the water was crystal clear. She could also see the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.“To clear up your confusion, we are at Papa’s beach, and this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. I thought you would love this as a honeymoon location.”Zora, though rich, had been too focused on business and revenge before. Honestly, she had never heard of this place.“I’m fascinated to be here.”“Great. Let me explain further. This is Calilo on the Greek Island of IOS. There are only 35 suites in this hotel, and each r

The silence was thick in the air as everybody waited for Ethel’s response, which was not forthcoming.Feeling like he was just being used, Ethan had the understanding that she could not bring herself to trust him.“Dad, she doesn’t love me,” he said on behalf of Ethel. Lucas smiled, but his smile soon went stiff when Ethel responded.“I do, Ethan.”She saw Ethan freeze with a shocked look in his eyes and explained.“I mean, I never imagined having anything to do with my ex-husband’s kid brother, but I’m ready to give it a try.”“You do?” Ethan was so shocked that he lifted her in the air by the waist. “I love you so much, Ethel. I will prove it to you.”Their lips met once again, but they were rudely interrupted by Lucas. “Dad, how can you condone this? It’s shameful.”He could not believe how his submissive housewife could take an interest in his kid brother. This was unexpected.Ethel should have rejected Ethan and not this. However, his mother spoke this time.“You know what, Lucas

“Kate?” Lucas turned in the direction of Ethel’s gaze, calling out accusingly, but Kate made a 180-degree turn and was headed to the exit when the man she came with blocked her.It was obvious that she was trying to escape the accusation, but everyone was interested in hearing what she had to say.Homewreckers were not exactly welcome at occasions like this, as every woman with a man of her own began to get protective.“You seem to be running away,” the man she came with said, not pleased by the revelation.Lucas walked towards her and questioned, “Did you kick her in the stomach?”Kate was covered in so much shame that her lips trembled because of all the gazes on her and replied, “It was an accident.”“No, it wasn’t,” Ethel interrupted, not upset but wanting to prove a point.“You said I didn’t deserve to carry his child because he didn’t love me. You were right because he divorced me,” Ethel smiled, no longer feeling the pain of losing her scum husband.Only Lucas had a pained expr
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 314 – You brought this upon yourself
From a distance, Ezrah and Zora watched everything unfold.“Lucas, I need to put him in his place. Can you give me a moment?” Ezrah was about to go to the scene of the incident when Zora held him back.“No. Didn't you say that Ethan seemed genuine with his feelings? Let’s see how he handles this situation.”Ezrah was unsure if Ethan could come out of this cleanly, reminding Zora,“You told me to protect Ethel or better still, let me get her bodyguard.”Zora shook her head. “Sometimes, the heart doesn’t know what it wants until the opportunity presents itself. Let Ethan deal with it.”Ezrah smiled and relented. “Alright. If you say so.”They heard Lucas mocking Ethan and Ethel. “Why? Can’t you kiss your woman? Sebastian has kissed Madison like three times already, even though they aren’t the bride and groom.”Indirectly, he was taking away the opportunity for Ethan to use the event as an excuse for his inability to kiss Ethel.“Lucas, how we choose to define our relationship is none of

Everyone was excited for Ezrah and Zora, and right after the cake cutting, the couple's dance was announced.Ezrah and Zora had just left the dance floor and were speaking to some guests when other couples took over.Ethan saw it as the perfect opportunity to dance with Ethel, but there were other men eyeing her as well, and they were not afraid to show it.To make matters worse, they reached her before him.“Hi, I’m Rick,” one of them said. Ethan didn't recognize him from their company, which could mean he might be one of Zora’s co-stars.Ethan didn't like this but knew he had to be a gentleman to win Ethel's favor.“Ethel,” she responded with a forced smile, trying to be polite, and somehow, she was glad to see Ethan nearby.It was Ezrah’s birthday, and his focus would only be on his wife. Her bodyguard was there to protect her from danger, not lovers, so he was with the other bodyguards.The only man she had loved all her life was Lucas, and she had never had the chance to mingle b
