Zach was soon back from the business trip he went on and was in his parents' house as usual. He would have loved to spend every second of his with Hera and Austin but right at the moment, he was forced to stay with the family, probably to keep them company. It was then that he realized that Delilah was now living with him in the same house. He didn't know what his parents' aim was about this but he tried as much as possible to be nice to her to a certain limit as it ought to be. "It's been a while since we had fun." Delilah started a topic after their wine had been served. Zach looked up from his phone and glanced at her. He nodded reluctantly before he continued pressing his phone. "Do you perhaps have anywhere in mind that we both can go to and spend the day together?" "Aren't you busy with work? I am also busy with work so I don't have enough time to spend fooling around." He replied instantly. "Fooling around? I never knew that you would call closeness between best f

"Where are you, Austin?" Zach called out after he removed his hands from his eyes. He looked around the sitting room in search of the little boy. He then stood up with a smile. "You are very sneaky, aren't you?" He added and started to look everywhere else. He searched under the table, behind the couches and sofas but he couldn't find him.He then looked at Hera helplessly, expecting her to help him. "Aren't you going to help me?" He asked her.She smiled, "Why should I? I wasn't the one who started the game after all." She answered and continued kneading the dough. "You are such a heartless person." Zach scoffed and walked away in search of Austin.Hera shook her head and turned around. After a few more minutes, she heard Austin squeal while Zach shouted with happiness for having found him.Austin ran out to hug his mother while laughing hysterically. "I told you that I was going to find you," Zach smirked. "I simply made it easy for you." Austin shot back. "Yea

A few days later, Zach dropped Austin off at school before going ahead to drop off his mum. She informed him about the opportunity that Selena had told her about and that she was going there to take some pictures as she said. "I see. Selena was the one who helped you that night, right?" He asked as he pressed the brakes before taking the route that led to the entertainment company. "Yes, do you know her?" "Not really. I am not involved in the entertainment industry that much anyway but I have heard Delilah talk about her a few times whenever she was around." He answered. Hera then frowned. "Delilah?" "Yeah. What happened?" "Nothing. I heard that she has been your childhood best friend for quite a long time."Zach nodded, "Yeah, we grew up together but I was not that close with her because of my choice of course so rather than walking up and down the Earth, I would rather lock myself in a room and study till Dawn while she walks around on high heels, attending celeb

"Mum, we have to make the next move now." Delilah requested as soon as she burst into her room. "Why? What move is that?" Elizabeth asked as she switched off her iPad where she was receiving updates regarding her work. "The next move on me being Zach's bride. We have to make the next move now." She sat down grumpily and crossed her legs. "Oh, I see but why are you so nervous to want to do something like that in a rush?" "Well, Mum, I have to. I have to do it in a rush. You won't believe me when I say that Zach is in love with another woman." She sobbed. Elizabeth was surprised and she put down her iPad. She got closer to her daughter, wanting to get more information regarding that. "In love with a woman? How is that possible? When did he tell you this?" "A few days ago. I was shocked when I heard it, Mum. I just had to pretend as if it meant nothing to me. What if our plans of getting into the Albert Young Family don't work? What will we do then? I don't want

"I can't find the file of Zone B. Something is wrong," Blake informed his friend. "Nothing is wrong. You just can't see clearly." Zach replied grudgingly. His face looked dull and he was unhappy. This didn't escape Blake's eyes. "Come on, she has only been gone for a few hours." "A few hours? Do you know how long that is?" "How long is it? You spent the whole day yesterday with her after you canceled our friendship outing and yet you are still not satisfied. When will you be? Why don't you have her to yourself then? You don't know how hard it is to make me, your single friend run and clean up after your mess.'" Blake complained. Zach sighed. He really missed Hera. He knew that she just left not quite long for Austin's parents' meeting day but this has always been the issue. They had become so close as a family that he was finding it hard to even let her go out of his sight but then, he was not the owner of her life. He had no right to stop her from going elsewhere if

Jennie was not at rest when she heard this from Elizabeth and she was clearly displeased with the way the situation turned out to be. When she finally had the time to speak with Delilah, she didn't waste a second and called her out. "I guess you are quite busy, my dear." "Aunt, I would have just preferred to open a store and become a businesswoman. It's just getting too much to handle for me." She couldn't help but complain. "I understand. However, this only shows that you are the one needed for the job. You are the one who has what they need so they can not help but seek for you. Kudos to you my dear."Delilah cheered up and appreciated her. "Thank you, Aunt." "However, I have a question for you and I was quite disappointed when I got to know about the topic from someone else instead of you. I wondered why you decided to keep it away from me."Delilah sat up and looked at her worriedly. She wasn't sure if Jennie must have heard about her bag behavior because no matte

At the airport, a series of young boys and girls stood at different sides of the location holding banners and flowers to welcome their one true love. They had been standing there, waiting for him to arrive for the last hour and when he eventually did, it caused a scene of happiness for them as they burst into yelling and screaming his name; GAB WILLY, WE LOVE YOU.The young boy walked down the stairs with his bodyguards and his manager beside him. The airport fashion styles were literally the best so reporters didn't waste time getting a few shots of his look with his tiger-colored coat and expensive jewelry he was wearing.As he passed his fans, he bowed to greet them, showed them, love, accepted gifts from some, and took pictures with a few. Some girls couldn't hold their happiness and even wanted to kiss him for their benefit.After all the hurdles and stress, he was finally able to leave the airport freely.He sighed as soon as he got into the expensive van that was meant to come

Later in the evening, Zach was relaxing however he was well dressed. He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt that he already folded to the top of his arm and then a pair of black pants to go with it. In short, he looked handsome enough for tonight's event. "Are you coming?" Jennie asked her son as she checked her purse one more time for something important. She was wearing a blue flayed gown that reached her knees with a pair of black heels. Her hair was well-packed to her left-hand side and her makeup was minimal. She took a few pictures of herself before coming out anyway. After ensuring that everything she wanted to bring along with her was secured, she looked at him. Zach sighed and removed his glasses. He shut his laptop down and shrugged. "Yeah. To be sincere, I really don't want to go. His brother doesn't worth my time but I am only doing this because of Delilah. She enforced that on me. If I don't go now, she will probably tell me the history of my life." He answered. He didn'

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
