“He’s here already?” Madison asked, gathering and prepping herself to meet her boss. She looked calm and collected but internally, she was nervous.“He arrived earlier than everyone else and his mood is terrible. I don’t know who offended him,” the receptionist replied. Ezrah never smiled much but today was different. Everyone was walking on egg shells.Madison could not believe that her little lie aggravated his anger to this level. “Thanks for the heads up,” she smiled tightly, dropped her hand bag at her desk before ambling to Ezrah’s office.When she entered the office, she tensed up. Ezrah looked as if he had not slept in days. Those dark circles were terrible and though elegantly dressed, it was obvious that something was bugging him.“Sir, good morning.”“You’ve been in cahoots with Zora,” Ezrah said directly before beckoning to the chair in front of him. After Madison sat, she responded with honesty.“She’s a good friend but you are my boss.”Ezra was annoyed. The fact that Ma

Ezrah did not bother to check what was in the papers, already guessing how everything had been exaggerated.“Dad, I will come home and explain it to you, please.” He was already at the door as he spoke to his father, but the latter refused to accept it.“No. Start explaining it now.”Ezrah’s brows furrowed in annoyance. “That woman is Zora. I confirmed it yesterday.” Disbelief registered in his father’s mind, causing his face to contort in confusion. Wasn’t Zora dead?Ezrah did not have time to explain, saying, “you don’t believe me? Call her parents, but I have to go.”***Earlier on at the MRAB GroupPiper arrived at the front desk, sophisticatedly dressed. Her makeup was loud enough to attract attention as she looked forward to outshining Michelle even with her looks.Sadly, she threw away all the clothes she bought from Michelle’s collections after discovering that she was Zora. Due to all the security, she put on a fake smile when she spoke to the receptionist.“I’m here to see M

Piper’s eyes were red. The slap stung deep, her cheeks burned. “How dare you slap me? You pretended to be my friend at first just to get information on Ezrah. News flash. He doesn’t want you and he never will,” Piper taunted Michelle.The slap was too much, and she would do anything to get Michelle upset. Unfortunately for her, Michelle was unfazed by her words, saying, “I will die before I go back to Ezrah.”Piper seemed pleased to hear that Michelle had no intention of reconciling with Ezrah. As long as Michelle stayed out of their lives, their relationship would be fine.“That's good, so stop being shameless and stop attacking my parents’ business,” she demanded. Michelle folded her arms across her chest, burying her emotions and remaining calm.“Not until you are put behind bars for what you did to my child,” she said directly. Piper was still brazen-faced, yelling like an uneducated woman.“I did nothing to a bastard.”Another slap greeted her as soon as the word left her mouth.

Michelle instantly calmed down upon hearing Rush’s words. “Did you record it?” She must have missed the first opportunity, but it seemed another opportunity presented itself even when she did not expect it.Rush’s arms loosened around her waist, and he showed the screen of his phone to her. Piper must have ruined Michelle’s phone, but who knew that Rush would record everything? “Yes, I did. Here it is.”When Rush played it, Piper realized her foolishness. The pain and breathlessness she felt at the moment were nothing compared to the fact that she just confessed everything and might end up in prison.“Call the cops. She won’t leave here,” Michelle said coldly, straightening her suit, but her hair was slightly disheveled.Piper, still on the floor, could not move immediately because of the pain and shock of what she just did. Her attempt to p
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 57 – Shut up. You don't know her
Pausing briefly from what she was saying at the meeting and with everyone’s attention on her, awaiting her response, she replied coldly. “We have nothing to talk about. She confessed to her crime and will go to prison for it. My lawyer is already on his way.” She did not think that Ezrah would want to discuss anything else apart from Piper, but his response raised a greater disappointment in her. “What makes you think I would allow it?” The executives were stationed in New York City and were well aware of who Ezrah was. Only his relationship with Michelle seemed to confuse them as it did not seem to be business-related but rather personal. “It was your child too.” Dismay laced Michelle’s tone, but she was not ready to drag this matter any longer. If after everything Piper went to jail, she would leave right after. With Ezrah in this city, it no longer felt like home, bu
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 58 - He's not worth it
Rush’s overprotectiveness of Michelle unknowingly sparked Ezrah’s anger and jealousy once again. He had been married to Michelle for three years, and her bodyguard was telling him that he did not know her? Ezrah was pissed. “And you think you do? Tell me. Have you been sleeping with her too? It seems to me that she would do anything for money, but she must be paying you for it.” After all, he was her bodyguard, so he probably could not be paying Michelle. It should be the other way around. Rush punched him in the face, but Ezrah soon returned the blow. Both men were ready to go for each other’s throats, but Michelle did not want that. With the little strength she had, she yelled, gaining their attention. “Get out, Ezrah. It’s over. I don’t want to see you again.” Ezrah glared at her, his anger skyrocketing. “No, it’s not over because I will get Piper out of jail and see how I can help the Henshaws.” Michelle froze instantly. Was Ezrah really going to help and protect the murderer
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 59 – The case of assault
Michelle composed herself, freshening up her appearance before returning to the meeting. She refused to let Ezrah get the best of her any longer. The meeting concluded positively, and on her way back to her office, her new phone began to ring. Rush had efficiently set it up after she had used the office line for some calls. Glancing at the caller ID, Michelle answered her lawyer's call. "Has Ezrah arrived?" She inquired directly. If Ezrah continued to obstruct her, she was prepared to set aside her relationship with his parents and focus solely on his company. Michelle would not mind bringing it down if that was what she had to do to make him impoverished. "No, but his lawyer is. Piper was interrogated, and she claimed that she made those statements to upset you because she felt threatened by your actions and feared for her safety.” The lawyer passed and asked her from the end of the line. “Did you assault her?" Michelle responded truthfully, admitting, "Yes, I did." If she had t

Ezrah massaged his temple, feeling a painful headache setting in. “Can we discuss this later? Bailing her out is enough for now. Just make sure she doesn’t escape and extend the first hearing to about a month. I should be able to gather enough evidence by then. There is a possibility that the child in question could be mine.” “Alright. I will do as you have said,” the lawyer replied. When Ezrah ended the call, Lake looked lost. “What are you insinuating about the probability of the child not being yours? You're not assuming that Michelle cheated on you during your marriage, are you?” Ezrah wanted to trust her, but the jealousy in his heart wouldn't allow it. The thought of Michelle sharing a bed with another man pained him, and the sight of her bodyguard annoyed him greatly. “Zora got married less than two weeks after faking her death. What do you call that? How can I be sure she wasn’t cheating in the marriage?” Pain laced his voice as he ran his fingers frustratedly through his h

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
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 313 – This woman is taken
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
