"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.   74. CONFIRMATION.

    It was evening, a few more hours to the beginning of the auction. Zach had intentionally brought Hera and Austin with him along to the place where the auction was going to hold; the country. He wanted to spend some time alone with the both of them without people trying to sneak on them or anything of the sort.The country wasn't overcrowded as there were people who were there and they were local people who just minded their business. The auction was going to be held in a private resort with no paparazzi or anything of the sort around.So Zach saw this as an opportunity to be close to the ones that he loved. He took Austin to the park so he would mingle with others. While he sat with Hera to enjoy the view. "Thank you." She smiled after she collected the milkshake that he bought for her. "You are welcome." Zach smiled at her and she sighed. "He is going to become a handsome boy in the future, I promise," Zach commented on Austin who was chatting with a girl of about his age.

    "Have another shot." "Yeyyy."The claps increased among the guys that were inside the clubhouse. Ruby walked in carefully, her eyes were on a particular person and she didn't want to waste time sorting for someone else. "Hey, darling, care to have a drink." A drunkard tried speaking with her but she covered her mouth instead and quickly got away from him. She needed no trash touching her especially when she had cleaned herself up just for her crush.Her friend had managed to tell her about the fact that there was a high chance that Gabriel was going to be in his friend's clubhouse tonight so she found this the spot to be in. "Where is he?" She mumbled to herself before getting a seat at the counter where a young guy was, mixing the juice for some ladies who were excitedly talking about his skills and flirting with him. He was also flirting back at them as this was the way to get their interest and make them pay for extras that were not rendered. After he was done, the gir

    "Just what are these, Zach?" Jennie asked calmly as she threw the pictures against her son immediately after he came back from the trip. Her husband was sitting with his legs crossed and so was Delilah. She was a little bit worried about the turn that this could take.Zach who was just about to greet his parents stopped suddenly after the pictures were thrown to his face. He was in blatant shock as he stared at his mother but he was bold enough not to show it. He looked down at the pictures and picked two of them.His eyelashes flickered when he saw them and his throat dried up instantly. These were the pictures that were taken a few days ago when they were in the park. The pictures were taken clearly to show that they weren't edited but real. "What do you have to say to this?" She asked him. "Mum..." "Hold on, I don't want excuses so go straight to your point and let me know what the hell is going on with you." Jennie stopped him. "What's your relationship with this wom

  • The CEOs Rejected Bride.   77. AVOIDING HER?

    Blake sat on the sofa that was placed in a corner of Zach's room. His sleeves were rolled up and he was staring hard at the below surface, trying to think of possible ways to get out of this situation. At this point, it felt as if all the bragging and plans that they had about this relationship at the beginning had to come to an end now because the situation was real and not just imagination. "What do you plan on doing now? Avoiding her?" He asked him. Zach frowned. "Why will I avoid the woman that I love? It doesn't work that way. I was already aware that this was going to happen. The only thing that I am frustrated with is that I don't want her to be aware of this at all. If my mum can reach out to her and talk to her then it becomes over. She might decide to end the relationship when things are just getting better for both of us. That is something Hera can do." "But you can't hide this away from her forever. Sooner or later, she is going to know about this and when she doe

  • The CEOs Rejected Bride.   78. IGNORANCE.

    "Will you like some tea?" Alex asked after they had run into his apartment. Selena didn't feel much of the coldness and just seated as calmly as she could while watching his moves carefully. Not that he would rape her but she just needed to be careful. That was the issue. "Yes, thank you." Alex brought the ingredients to the sitting room and made her a cup of tea right in her presence. Selena felt embarrassed that she had been caught in such a manner but pretended not to mind. "Here is yours." He pushed the cup towards her and she eventually reached out to pick it up. The tea was a bit hot so she blew air to lessen the temperature before taking a sip from it. "You don't have to behave so securely. I am not going to kill you, am I?" "You do know the problem that we are both going to face when the news of the two of us being together leaked out," Selena mentioned and Alex sighed frustratedly. He rubbed his face and groaned. "Why?" "Why what?" "Why can't we just live our lives w

  • 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

    "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
