The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress Riskier Jobs
(FIVE YEARS LATER)Five years without Henry seemed to have healed Zoe’s heartbreak. Maria was five now and a bundle of joy in Zoe’s life. She was starting kindergarten today, unable to conceal her excitement about going to school for the first time. "I am going to make a lot of friends!" Maria declared at the dining table that morning when they were all having breakfast. Zoe smiled back at her. "Of course you would. Everyone is going to love you." "Uncle Leo would not be my only friend anymore. He is getting too old for me." "I am not old," Leo said."You are. I want friends my own age. You never join me in my tea party because they are not for grownups." Zoe chuckled at that. Maria was smart for her age, and oddly outspoken. Zoe felt it was natural for kids that age to be talkative and inquisitive. But Maria was extraordinary. "Eat up quickly or you would be late on your first day," Zoe told her as the little girl nodded. She was going to drop Maria at school and resume work
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress Offer On A Platter
"Your dad wants you at the house. He has something to discuss." A lot of things came to Henry’s head when Daniel said those words. His father was an unpredictable man so Henry did not know what exactly to expect. Five years went by so quickly that it still felt like yesterday when he was trying to find Zoe. Reports from the men he sent to figure out where Zoe was came back that she was in Italy but no one was able to pinpoint where exactly. Why was it so darn hard?The child they had would have been five by now. He wondered what her name was. He wondered what Zoe would tell his child if the girl asked of him. He could only picture Zoe bad mouthing him. Henry could not blame her. He had been too childish back then and screwed everything up. Not that he was any wiser now at thirty but there would be things he would do differently. If only she could give him another chance to right his wrongs. "What time does he want me there?" Henry asked, looking at the time. "Six pm. He wants to
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress Emily And Daniel
Zoe spent sleepless night trying to get her work done, but all to no avail. The systems at that small company were unbelievably hard to penetrate. She had been able to deal with bigger companies than this, but this one in particular proved itself to be too difficult. Backing out from the job might cause bigger problems with Mario. She had never let him down. Not once. Zoe had been sitting in front of her computer for hours that her legs started to get cramped. Leo had gone out to pick Maria up from school. He was more supportive than Zoe thought he would be. Maybe he left his aloofness in his teenage years. She felt a headache build up in her head as a result of staring at her computer screen for too long. She got some pain relievers from their first aid box and chugged it down her throat, waiting for the medicines to take effect. Zoe thought about just going to the company to make her findings herself, but would that not be riskier? She would just have to be extremely careful. I
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress We Meet Again
Emily followed Daniel and Henry to the airport to say her farewells. She waited until their flight was announced, hugging Daniel goodbye. "Take care of yourself," Emily told him. "I will." She watched him go, only just realizing that the people she was closest to were no longer in America with her. First was Zoe, and now Daniel. She made a mental note to pay them a surprise visit someday. Then it clicked in her head. Daniel was following Henry to Italy, and Zoe was in that same Italy. She was too busy with Daniel that it had slipped her mind completely.She needed to warn Zoe that Henry was going to Italy. Emily reached for her phone and tried to call Zoe. The phone rang several times, but she did not pick up. "C’mon, Zoe," she said to herself. "Pick up the damn phone." She called a few more times and gave up. Zoe would totally freak out if she ever met Henry in Italy by any chance. The one person she ran away from was going to meet her there. Emily hoped Zoe would see her mis
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress Henry In Italy
Henry knew the universe was in his favor when he bumped into Zoe on the first day he got to Italy. The woman he had been looking for appeared right in front of him after so many years. If that was not luck, then Henry did not know what was. Zoe ran away out of shock, but he did not mind. As long as they were in the same city, he would find his way to her again. One way or the other. He walked into the company's building and saw the receptionist first. "Welcome. You must be Mr. Henry Arthur," she said with a smile. "We have all been expecting you." "I bet you have." "Please come with me. I will show you to your office." She led the way and he followed her, taking in the surroundings. The building was far more smaller than Magatech with lesser staff. Even his office was just a small room with a normal desk and a chair. Nothing spectacular or grand like his office back in America. He did not know how long he was going to be staying in Italy, but he planned to renovate the place i
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress Beauty And The Beast
Zoe did not know what she was doing lying about her perfectly alive child being dead. Henry had caught her off guard, so she just told him whatever came to mind at that point. At least he would leave her alone now if it was Maria he was after. All she had to do was stay away from Henry and the company. Zoe was not sure yet how she would deal with Mario, but she would cross that bridge when she got to it. It was almost midnight and she had to tuck Maria in early for school the next day. Maria was already in her pajamas, holding her teddy bear with both hands. "Can you read me a bedtime story, mommy?" Maria asked with a small voice and yawned loudly. "Of course. Come here." Zoe lifted her from the floor easily and laid her down on the bed, tucking her under the sheets. "Which one do you want to hear?" "Beauty and the Beast!" Maria chirped. "You have heard that one a hundred times." "I want to hear it again." Zoe was smiling. "Why do you like it so much?" "I like how the wicked
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress Challenge Accepted
He did not believe Zoe when she told him that the baby had died, so he had to check for himself and be sure. His gut feeling was right. The child was alive and very healthy. Henry saw Maria run outside to hug Zoe. She was already dressed for school, carrying a backpack. "Leo!" Zoe called out for her brother. "Why is Maria not in school yet?" So that was her name. Maria. Leo came out of the house and locked the door behind him. "We were just about leaving when..." he trailed off when he saw Henry standing in front of the house quietly, then exchanged awkward looks with Zoe. "The child is dead indeed," Henry said in mockery, raising a brow at Zoe. "Would you like to explain yourself?" "Leo, take her to school." Maria tugged at Zoe’s dress. "Mommy, who is this man?" "I will tell you when you get back from school," Zoe replied. "You are late already." "Okay. Bye!" Leo went ahead to pick her up, carrying her away from the ongoing tension between Henry and Zoe. When they were gone
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress Henry Kidnaps Maria
Her cover had been blown. Henry already knew about Maria. Zoe could not begin to imagine the things Henry would do to have his way. It was what he always did. She would never allow it. Zoe needed someone to talk to about it, so she called Emily. The phone rang a couple of times before Emily picked up. "Hey, what's up?" "I am in trouble," Zoe said. Emily sighed over the phone. "I knew this was coming. It is about Henry, right?" "Of course it is about Henry. Who else would it be?" "Calm down now. There is no need to get your panties in a twist." "He says he wants us to get back together." Emily was dumbfounded. "Really?""What am I supposed to do? I am not sure what he would do to achieve this. You know Henry." Zoe knew that panicking was not going to solve anything, still, she could not help it. "There might be a way out of this," Emily reasoned. "Which is?""Hear him out. Daniel claimed once Henry cared about you. It might be true." Zoe rubbed at her forehead, letting her
