The CEOs Rejected Bride. 26. A BIG RED FLAG!
Hera greeted the rest of her co-workers as she walked into the building that was the boss's office building. She waved at Anna and the latter giggled before blowing her a kiss. "She is getting prettier," Jack whispered enough for the ladies to hear. Mirabel was the most astounded, she gasped as she looked at the young man and then gritted her teeth. "Who do you think you are?" She blurted out.Jack looked at her confusingly, "Jack." "Huh?" "Well, you asked me who I think I was and I said that I was Jack." He responded in the most innocent voice that Mirabel had ever heard. Anna was so done with the interactions and was relieved when she saw an aged man with a group of men that she believed were his bodyguards enter the place. She stood up to attend to them. "Hello, sir. You are welcome. Please come with me." She directed them and signaled to Mirabel on what to do before leaving finally.Mirabel called Blake's office and he picked up after the second ring, "What is it?" "Sir, Mr

Selena let out a deep breath as she stood in front of the director's office. She folded her palm and then knocked on the door. "Come in." A man with a grumpy voice instructed and she entered with a slight smile on her face. She had been called to the director's office for some reason that wasn't clear to her but she hoped that it would be good news. She stood in front of the sixty-year-old man who was putting on a pair of medicated glasses. He looked like a strict medical professor. He was indeed very strict but in this case, he wasn't a professor but her director.He was well-known in the music and movie industry and respected as well. Selena felt so glad at first for having to work under him but as time went by, she saw no need to be there if she was treated like a dog. However, the opportunity came for her to present herself to the audience and to show the people the talent she had. There was a movie that required a female lead…a strong one to be precise and she had fought so ha

Hera arrived at the penthouse that was described to her and was actually impressed by the architectural designs. "To be rich is actually good." She commented. She once experienced this sort of lifestyle but look at where she ended. She shook her head to discard the thoughts. "Please, come in." A maid said and Hera nodded. She followed the woman inside.She was already assigned to speak with Delilah about what she needed and what she didn't. So, she wanted to take everything politely and professionally. She was directed to the garden and there she was…Delilah, the Queen of her violent Kingdom. She had her phone in her ear as she seemed to be receiving a call. She laughed and said something to the person on the other line. Hera swallowed hard as she finally got in front of her. "Here she is. Excuse me." The maid left. Hera nodded gratefully and looked at Delilah who pointed at a chair for her to sit. "Of course…she isn't worth it. [Laughed] I am being sincere, darling. What else we

It was the weekend and the day was a bit dull because it was preparing to rain. The weather forecast was already out for people to be aware and Hera was outside her apartment, taking the dried clothes off the rope. She didn't want to use a drying machine for it so she preferred to sun-dry them instead.She entered the house and that was when the rain started pouring heavily. She sighed and took the clothes to her room to arrange them in two ways. After she was done, she went to Austin's room and found him communicating with someone that she believed was his classmate on a laptop. His door was opened slightly so she could still hear and see what he was up to.Although Hera wasn't the type of parent who would love to eavesdrop on her kid's conversation because she was learning to trust and support him this time around, she was only stalling time to know when she should go in and wouldn't leave their conversation halfway through everything.Austin was only six years old and Hera couldn't

The next morning was another day to start work at the company. It was a new week and lovely weather to enjoy. All the staff was back to their positions to work and so was Hera. "Hey, Hera. Do you have Miss Beyonce's record with you? Her company is about to go for an art sign tour and she needs our help." "Yeah, sure. Even though I am not supposed to do this but I have no choice." She handed it over to her. "Aww, I understand, and thank you." "You are welcome." "Miss Hera, the design of the cake has arrived. There are actually three designs given to me so check them out." A lady said as she arrived beside Hera. The latter collected the drawings and was impressed with them. She looked through them thoroughly and stroked her chin. "If I were to choose one, it would be this. It looks simple yet has so much going on with it. The height and elegance are fantastic but I am not the one celebrating the birthday. I will send these to the BOSS'S FIFTEEN to get through to him..." "Wow."

"How old is he?" Jake asked as he put a meatball into his mouth. "Six years," Hera replied.She was having lunch with her friend's friends who were now her friends. They were very welcoming but the thought of her having a child never crossed their minds. "Do you have his picture?" Jake asked eagerly and Hera nodded. She brought out her phone, unlocked it, and showed them Austin's picture. Jake's eyes brightened. "Wow, your boy looks so energetic." "You are the one being so energetic and going crazy over a little boy? Do you have a crush on him?" Mirabel blurted out. "Well, yeah. He is hot." Jake rolled his eyes and Anna chuckled. This time, she wasn't mad at their interactions maybe because she wasn't the only one there to bear their madness. "I am the last child of my family and my elder siblings are only girls. I have four elder sisters. Do you know how uncomfortable it is to be stuck in between girls, especially in the family? There will be no room to breathe. Among them is m

"I don't think the profits for this month are enough at all. We need to upgrade our plans. It's as simple as that. Why are you all finding it a problem to do?" A man questioned with anger. "Finding it a problem to do?! Look at who is talking, opening your mouth as if the world revolves around you only. Don't you know what you were supposed to do? You hardly contributed to this company...you borrowed a lot from most of us here and now you have turned yourself into a preacher. Why am I not surprised?" A frail-looking man mentioned with anger in his eyes as well.Ezekiel sighed and rubbed his forehead. For the past thirty minutes, they have all been talking non-stop and not saying a word that made sense to him. He didn't want to interfere so he would not stress himself out until Cyril nudged him from below and signaled to him that he should say something.Ezekiel raised his hand and everyone silenced their mouth. Ezekiel was well respected and even though he wasn't the leader, his views

"You imbecile!" Delilah called out with gritted teeth. "You maniac!" A manly voice responded and this caused Delilah to laugh. She was walking down the hall to her car waiting outside. She just finished a shoot even though she didn't want to but her manager 'managed' to come up with something to persuade her to do it. "You still have the gut to insult me back." Delilah scolded. "Hey, don't forget who is the older twin here." "How can you do this to me, Gabby, to us? Why are you such a wicked person to begin with?" She asked with disappointment. "I am sorry that I had to back out but to be sincere, I already made the arrangements. I thought I was going to come as well but I was surprised when things turned out this way. I am sorry." Gabriel was twin of Delilah and was a few minutes older than her but that didn't count. Even though they were more of a cat and rat in the family, they still loved each other and care for each other as they ought to. "You do know th

The CEOs Rejected Bride. 100. HAPPY ENDING?
THREE MONTHS LATER.Hera was standing in front of Austin's picture. She was staring at it with mixed and complicated emotions in her eyes before rubbing her hand on it. She smiled at the picture and sighed.Zach came behind and kissed her neck. "Hey, Are you okay?" He asked her. "Yeah." She answered and turned around. Hera placed her hands around his neck. "I was just remembering what had happened in the last few months." She said and received a kiss on her forehead. "Hmm. It's probably for the best." Zach answered this time around.The best? A happy ending? "Come on, let's go. We don't want to be late, do we?" He held her hand and the two of them walked out of the room in matching outfits. Zach locked the door before opening the car for Hera. They both entered and wore their seatbelts at once, causing Hera to smile.Today was Thanksgiving and Ezekiel alongside his wife had invited her over to join the rest of the family. As he drove them, there was a song playing un
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 99. SAVED AT LAST.
Hera was crying while sitting inside the station. She really missed her son and prayed that nothing would go wrong with him. The more Zach watched this, he was going crazy but he couldn't do anything because the cops were still trying to figure it out. Also, the process seemed to be slow to him. He sat beside her and placed her head on his shoulder while she was crying. "I am sorry. He will be fine, I promise."Hera thought, how could he promise such when he didn't know what to do? She just wanted her son back no matter what. "We have been able to find the location." The cops informed them and Hera stopped crying immediately. She stood up. "Let's go." "Sure."Just then her phone rang and she answered it. "Have you done the video yet..."Someone started shouting from beneath and it seemed that a fight was going there. Hera and others could hear Austin scream. It was evident what they were fighting for because the swearing and shouts were just too much. But Hera could hear the s
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 98. KIDNAPPED!
"I love you, Uncle Ben," Austin said eagerly to Ben but the man was less concerned. He was frowning deeply. "You love me? I can't see how you love me. You exposed me in front of Mrs. Young. Do you know the problem that you have made me go through? Now I will end up in army school." He answered. "So what? You will become stronger and you will be serving the country as well." Austin saluted and Ben just covered his face with his palms. Why was he babysitting this boy? He was too old for his age. "Do you need ice cream?" Ben asked him after a while because it would be better if he pleased the young boy and he gives a good report about him at home then he wouldn't have to go to the military. "Yes," Austin answered and Ben nodded. "Wait here, let me get you one..." A van suddenly came from nowhere and Austin was grabbed into it fiercely...the kidnappers not bothering to check for any physical injuries or if Austin might have hit something with any parts of his body.

The CEOs Rejected Bride. 97. CUT OFF PROMISE.
"Hello there. Good evening. It's lovely to see you tonight." Elizabeth grabbed Jennie harshly to hug her. Ezekiel had invited them over for dinner with his family and even Hera alongside Zach was shocked to see them. He stared at his parents suspiciously as disappointment showed on his face. Why were they here in the first place if not because his parents were trying to make him go against his wish? He hissed and wanted to leave but Hera pulled him back. "You have to be patient. You can't just jump to a conclusion without knowing what is going on." She convinced him. "If this has to deal with me leaving you then they should forget about it because it's not going to work at all." He replied and Hera sighed. Sincerely, she hoped that it wouldn't come to that. "Where is Gabriel?" Ezekiel asked Cyril. "Oh, he went back to the country. He said that he had a concert or something like that. Delilah will check up on him anyway." he answered. "That's great," Ezekiel responded. Jennie could
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 96. TRUE LOVE, RIGHT?
By the time Jennie got back home, she just needed somewhere to rest and also someone to keep her company. A lot of things had been happening and she had been thinking a lot lately which was not good for her health. She held the side of her gown while holding to her fashion bag as she walked into the mansion, her expensive heels clicking against the surface of the hard tile.She looked around wondering where everybody could have gone but she didn't see anyone except a few maids working at a distance. Just as she was about to climb the staircase, she started hearing some noises that later seemed to be whispers and after a while, grew into a full-blown loud conversation.Ben came out of a corner talking affectionately to someone on the phone. "Yeah...I know and I love you too. Babe...babe, just listen to me, okay? I will get you whatever it is that you want and I will come and visit at school...a lot, darling. There are business engagements and stuff for me to run. Hera isn't working
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 95. A FEW DAYS AGO.
Delilah was so mad that she went to look for Jude and she did find him where he was the last time, doing his work. This time around the place was a bit too crowded but she didn't care about it or her image. She was only here because she wanted to bear her disappointment against him.Jude, after he saw her, closed the trunk of the car and approached her. "Hey." He waved at her. "Hey? So, you have the gut to tell me HEY after you failed in the mission I sent you on? How could you? You ruined every single bit of my own. Was it wrong on my side to have trusted you? What happened? Why did you change your mind?" She asked him furiously.Jude removed a stick of cigarettes and put it into his mouth. He lit the bottom and threw away the lighter before puffing out the smoke. He then looked at her. She was indeed mad because she and the angry bird were not that different from each other in appearance anymore. "I just couldn't do it after running my background check on them." He answere
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 94. I STILL DON'T ACCEPT.
"I am a bit nervous tonight," Hera whispered. This was going to be the first time that she would be meeting Ezekiel Young Albert. Zach licked his lips and nodded. "I am also nervous because I don't know what he might say, to be sincere." He answered her. "But you did well tonight. You did great. I just couldn't imagine that. Tomorrow, I am sure that your name is going to be in the headlines. I am sorry if that's going to bring pressure on you or anything..." "No, it's not going to bring any pressure on me. I am fine as long as I have you by my side, right?" She looked at him hopefully. Her eyes were like that of a panda and all Zach just wanted to do was to snuggle her closer to himself but he was driving. "Yes, we will always be together at each other's sides." He assured her.Finally, they arrived at the mansion and Hera was baffled by how good everywhere looked even though it was nighttime already. They were indeed very rich. No wonder Jennie was so concerned about
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 93. PLAN FLOPPED.
As Delilah was walking around with a silly face, her eyes were looking for one particular person. Why wasn't he here yet? He was supposed to come before they arrived. Maybe he was planning a grand entrance perhaps. That thought alone caused her to have goosebumps. She collided with someone and it happened to have been Hera. She frowned deeply but Hera wasn't moved. "My goodness, I am so sorry." She apologized and wanted to leave. "Sorry?" Delilah scoffed and folded her arms. "Yeah?" Hera answered. What else was she supposed to say? She had never had any confrontation with Delilah before so this was the first time that this was going to come up. "You are just too full of yourself nowadays just because you are already dating Zach." She spat out. Hera feigned confusion. "Excuse me?" "You are not getting excused. You collided with me and almost ruined my dress." She replied.Hera sighed and sincerely hoped that things wouldn't go wrong because tonight, she was going to be doing onl
