The next morning, Anna had already woken up as early as she could, to be precise, it was around 5 am. She went to the next room where Hera and her son were and knocked on the door. She would have preferred to call her on the phone but Hera had none so she went for this option. " Hera. " She called her name softly. " Hera, are you up? Can I talk with you for a few minutes? " She asked. " Coming. " Hera replied from within and went to open the door after stretching a bit. " Hi, good morning. " She greeted and came out fully so she could close the door. " Good morning. I am sorry if I disrupted your sleep but I couldn't let the thought slide past. " Anna looked at her pleadingly. " No problem, Anna. Let's sit and talk. " Hera suggested and they went to the sitting room. They sat opposite each other while Hera slightly opened her mouth to yawn. " I wanted to discuss this with you last night when we were talking but the time and situation couldn't allow it. It's

Hera and her son arrived at the school's gate and entered. She was holding his hand amidst the crowd which consisted of only the parents, pupils, and a few teachers who were arriving one after the other or moving around. The school was a public school and was quite huge. The buildings were painted in blue and white color as this was the students' uniform color as well. Hera couldn't afford a private school fee so she chose a government-owned institution of learning. As Hera walked closer to Austin's classroom, they met with the headmistress who stopped them from taking another step closer to the class. " Good morning, ma'am. " Hera greeted politely. " Good morning, Miss Hera. Why is Austin dressed like that when he ought to be in his school uniform? " The headmistress asked without taking much of their time. Hera tried to come up with a valid reason other than the real reason why he was in uniform like the others. When they were thrown out of the house, they were not given muc

It was late in the afternoon when Elizabeth arrived at the Young Mansion. She was putting on a yellow strapless gown alongside a jacket. Her hair was well combed and cut as well because she preferred short hair to a long dangling one. Behind her were two bodyguards who stood at the entrance while she walked in elegantly. She looked around to see if Jennie was in the sitting room from where she stood which was the waiting room. Jennie walked in at that moment and saw her. She beamed. " Eliz, come in. Why are you standing there? " Jennie welcomed her. They both hugged each other and sat down. " How are you, my dear friend? " Elizabeth asked. " I have been the same, doing the same. What about you? " " I am fine as well, thank you. " Elizabeth replied. " What would you like to eat? I was just about to eat lunch when you arrived. Do you care to join me? " Jennie invited her.

[ Two days later ] Anna and her colleagues joined their co-workers for lunch at the general cafeteria. It was a bright sunny Friday for the people of City A but still many people preferred the atmosphere to the cold and over bearable one. Anna, Jack, and Mirabel sat at their usual spot in the cafeteria which was located at the entrance of the place. They had ordered the same meal and drinks except that Anna went for a cup of milky coffee. Their co-workers greeted them and they responded to one another as they passed by. " Who the hell drinks coffee when she ought to have a cold and refreshing orange juice? " Jack asked and Mirabel pointed at Anna. " This girl. " Anna glared at them while eating. " Guys, do you think that Miss Lilah will be the one chosen by the president to be the female lead in the movie ' Moving to Alaska '? " Mirabel asked. " Why is your opinion formed like that? I believe that anyone worthy of the role should be given it. " Anna replied. " Nop

In another part of the city, inside an air-conditioned hall, many ladies were seen in different positions dressed in a flamboyant and lavish manner. From their appearance, it could be easily guessed that they were models while some were actresses in modeling jobs part-time. One of the co-ordinating staff dressed in a black shirt and trousers walked in with a clipboard and a pen in her right hand. To get the attention of the murmuring ladies, she struck her palms against each other. " Ladies, it's showtime. Please, proceed to the avenue in five minutes. " She announced and they did exactly as they were told after checking themselves out. The woman then proceeded in her walk towards another department and knocked on the door. " Miss Lilah, it's five minutes to showtime. " She announced and a voice replied. " I got you, thanks. " " You are welcome. " The woman left. Inside the department was Delilah. She was putting on a res silky gown that hugged her tone body perfectly
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 18. REMINDED OF THE PAST.
Hera had woken up early alongside Anna and they did the various house chores they found necessary to do that Saturday morning. They sang the lyrics of songs that they knew and talked about their school life. Anna wholeheartedly prepared breakfast for them while Hera got Austin ready for the day as he was still sleeping. As they ate their breakfast, Anna talked to her about her newfound job and things that she needed to know. "Our boss can be really strict and he doesn't like being delayed." Anna chewed her meal and swallowed it. "With this behavior of his, who will marry him?" Hera asked. "Probably his childhood and family friend, Delilah. Do you know her?" "I am not into watching the news so I don't know who she is," Hera answered and dished more meals for her son. "That's right. Anyway, don't just get into her bad book because she can be rude as well. Nobody cautions her." "I won't even get the slightest chance to be close to her." The discussion continued for a f

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

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.

"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

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
