★★★★ Monica reached for her phone, which she had left in another room with the files. She unlocked it and discovered nearly ten missed calls and two texts. She read the texts as she slid the notification bar down. "Ella, this is Ethen. I chose to leave this message because you are not answering the call. I need to speak with you about something really serious, which I cannot do over the phone. Meet me at 5 p.m. at West Side Cafe. A single arched eyebrow expressed her confusion as she read the second text, “I am not bringing Diana along." Monica sighed deeply as she sat in a chair, sensing in some way that her history was surfacing in the present. Her face became aware of what was happening; although she wished to escape her past, it appeared that those times had returned to her. She was visibly depressed as she ran her fingers through her hair. Monica took another big breath and made the decision to meet Ethen. She grabbed her purse, stuffed the phone inside, and started walking
★★★“Miss Monica, this is the cafe you have mentioned," Sam informed Monica, halting the car at the parking lot. When Monica left the building with scurried steps Sam understood Miss Monica was in trouble, hence, he skipped telling the boss and approached Monica.“Thank you so much, Sam! But I don't want you to follow me because this is only a casual meeting with a friend that, in my opinion, will not last long. So, stay right here!" Monica stated in a hurry, curtailing Sam from following her because Ethen certainly would bring up inquiries, and she was uninterested in telling him about her life.“Alright, Miss! However, the boss is not aware of you leaving the office hence I would suggest you end your meeting as soon as possible or allow me to let the boss know about it,” Sam said, leaving the car, walking around he came to other side of the car and opened the door for Monica to come out.“You are not permitted to discuss my meeting with him because I did not inform him before le
★★★★ William was furious in the office because Monica had not returned his calls, not even bothering to answer one, and she had left no hint of where she had gone. In contrast, after waiting for Monica to return, Brian departed because he wanted to take care of some business regarding the party. William continued to wait for Monica's arrival even after that since he had a sneaking suspicion that she might have gone to the loo, but he now knew that Monica was not present in the building. Baron, who was standing in the same room, was unable to discover an answer to his boss's problem given that he could see the anarchy on his visage for a specific reason. Nevertheless, there had been no meeting that might have spurred such emotion in the boss, and he also did not answer calls whatsoever. Aside from that, the conference for which he had prepared a really good presentation had been canceled by the boss for an unidentified reason. Within a few seconds, the boss's attitude fluctuated like
★★★★“William, I was about to leave, since I have done my meeting here!" Monica murmured, staring at the fist tightly clenched to the side, implying that it could morph into a punch at any point. She could also feel the panic rising in her throat, which was not visible from the outside but was affecting her voice and words.Ethen moved his gaze to Monica right away, who explained in a hurry before being questioned. He was acutely conscious of William Mackenzie, but he could not figure out what this guy was doing here or why Monica was clarifying things to him unless he was her lover. That could not be correct.This man was too dangerous to be anyone's lover; he was a crude, disrespectful man who had no idea how to show others respect.“Ella, what's going on?" With curious eyes, Ethen asked Monica."Um!"Monica tried to respond, but all that came out of her mouth was a murmur. In response, William, who was merely pouring rage from his eyes, abruptly seized her hand and turned to
★★★ “As I had predicted. Hah!" With a disappointed shake of her head, she let out a false laugh. "However, I believe that as long as Sam is with me, my well-being will not be your worry unless people are desperate enough to assassinate me," Monica replied, tears welling up in her eyes, believing she had been unlucky in receiving love from those she cared about. William, who was enraged, felt an overwhelming sense in his heart as a result of Monica's voice, sensing that Monica was upset. "How come you're not looking at me?" William stated, holding the palpation because a deep dark nook in his heart desired to glimpse her eyes. Monica sharply turned her head met William's eyes and said, “Look, I understand that we are married for a reason and that I have come to terms with everything about you, but I also want to enjoy my life, therefore I don't want to explain anything to you," Monica murmured, fixing her gaze on William's face. She could sense a hint of worry there, but she was n
★★★William stood motionless with Monica beside him, who was skeptical about what he declared about holding hands being the theme of the party. This provoked the explanation why she had not yet been able to determine for herself whether to hold William's hand or not because he was completely unreliable and had erratic mood swings.Sam was watching them from a distance and noticed something strange about their body language—they appeared to be waiting for something while standing at the pub's door. They did not speak to one another at first during the entire trip to this place, it appeared that they were silently fighting, with a single instance of the boss's stare, who couldn't take his attention away from Miss Monica for even a second. "Strange! Being single for so many years, I'm having difficulty understanding what these people are doing," Sam mumbled under his breath before pulling out a cigarette from the packet and holding it to his lips.“Do you like to stand here in this
★★★ “It's good to have you back, Mr. William. We have made numerous attempts to get in touch with you, but you know your people! Humph! They always rejected us." With a charming smile on her face, the woman addressed William. Even though she anticipated receiving no attention from William, she made an effort to find out what was going on between the unidentified woman and William. Based on her clothes, the girl surmised that Monica could be William's secretary. “Since my time has been reserved for a crucial topic, they felt there was no reason why you needed to see me. As a result, I received no notification about you.” Not only did William's response startle the woman, but it also made Monica turn to look at him in astonishment. There were no limits to this man's sarcasm. He could easily offend someone with his remarks. “I concur with you, hehe." The woman laughed awkwardly and regretfully turned to look at her boyfriend who had advised her not to talk to William or approach hi
★★★“Hello to all of you. I apologize for being a little late; I had some business to attend to."Katherine waved to the people who had been her college pals, but she didn't feel the need to socialize with them at the moment because not everyone had the same level of success as Brian and William.“Brian, you astounded me," Katherine chimed as she approached Brian, who placed the glass on a circular table, some of the liquor spilling from the corners of his mouth given that he had no idea how Katherine had arrived at the party, especially since he had not invited her.Katherine wore a tight-fitted black knee-length dress with no sleeves. Apart from this, the courageous move that Katherine showed was that she did not come wearing anything warm in such cold weather.“It surprises me to see you here, Katherine," Brian stated as he gave her a hug. He had no choice but to greet Katherine, though he was a little perplexed as to how she found out. He would not have objected if William ha
★★★★ I would want to thank everyone who has read this book. Your support for my book is so overwhelming. I hope you love this book as much as I did. Although you can read this book as a stand-alone, I highly suggest reading "Mommy is Precious, my Billionaire Daddy." You will understand the extent of Monica and William's support for Jessica after reading that book. So, this is their happy ending. No more series will air. (The Mackenzie and Grey families live happy lives, full of love and laughter.) I'll be releasing a new book the first week of March. Once again, thank you. *I would really appreciate it if you gave the book a review and five stars on the front page. Hope to see you! New book alert: "Hidden Twins of a Billionaire Daddy. It is about a surrogate mother and badboy Billionaire. You will find this book in my profile.
1 day later ★★ William told the reporters that he did not consider Winston to be his father, nor did he consider his family to be his family, which was why he ejected them from the Makenzie Mansion, which he owned entirely. However, the reason was not the past William exposed about Winston, but rather that Winston was the one who liberated that boat on the water for Brian to escape with Monica to ensure he could injure William by harming Monica, allowing Winston to find the peace he sought. William would harshly punish anyone who intended to hurt his wife. As a result, Winston went to Elder Mackenzie's house because it was the only place he could stay. Mark had brought Jayla with him, who was devastated with sadness and suffering. The condition had dug such a deep pit in her heart, that she was unable to sob anymore. Brian's cruel tortures had left her daughter in critical condition in the hospital. She was given a drug by him that fully paralyzed her body and impacted her brain,
★★★★During dinner, there was a lot of noise in the castle. When they got home, the doctor gave everyone a thorough examination. After that, everyone went to their respective rooms for a long rest which their bodies required because they were all exhausted, including Danielle, who stayed up all night drinking strong coffee. Danielle took care of Cornell and baby Lucas, who slept soundly in his cradle because he had his mommy's handkerchief. Cornell had said that Lucas would never cry as long as he had something that belonged to his mother. She found that to be incredibly fascinating, and she did see it.Mr. Liam placed a cloth that belonged to Jessica next to Lucas and he did not cry, rather he had a sweet smile on his face and even responded to her words. Despite the fact that her mind was preoccupied with dread and tension, she nonetheless managed to survive the period thanks to Cornell and Lucas.The dining table was packed with buzzing folks while Lucas was sleeping in the roo
★★★★William pointed the gun towards Brian, who pulled Monica up on her feet with her hair before throwing his arm around her neck and placing a knife next to her throat as he screamed, "I will ensure that the knife goes through her throat as soon as you release the bullet. So, toss the weapon away!" Brian smirked, his tone relaxed, and there was no indication that he wanted to flee or speculate on anything else."Let go of her; I will spare your life, and your parents will also be able to escape such situations," William spoke in a chilly tone, his gaze fixed on Monica and the knife in her throat, which terrified him. He dreaded nothing, but seeing Monica in destitution was excruciating."I said throw the gun, bastard!" Brian bellowed with hateful eyes as if he was watching his sworn enemy in front of him; the individual who caused pain, shame everything, even took his love away."Alright!" William replied and tossed the gun far away from him, “Now, withdraw the knife from her. Y
★★★★ "Monica, there is no lock on the door! Would you mind trying to shatter the wall while I stand here and watch to see if anyone approaching the room? After that, I will try to break the wood and you will take my place. Aside from that, I have no idea how I would handle this circumstance," Jessica advised. Monica nodded to her, then turned to face the window and pushed the wood out as hard as she could. Even though the wood was a little old, it was still a little challenging for a woman to push. Monica was having trouble breaking it with her hand, therefore, she used the back of her arm to push the wood, which made a 'Crack!' sound. "SIGH!" Monica expelled a laborious breath since she was tired and hungry; as a result, even a simple chore exhausted her. Jessica raced over to her and began pushing the loosened wood, which still needed a little push to break. But they were both unable to, so Jessica responded, "Okay, we will push together on 3." "Now, one, two, and..." "And 3, my
★★★★ Brian supported his two hands on two long sticks which were already inside the room at the corner of the door, which demonstrated that Brian had already thought of everything for himself. He held his injured leg up in the air while walking with the help of those sticks as he led Jessica to meet the patient. The trepidation felt never-ending as if the more she walked with Brian the further the fear thrived. Jessica looked around and saw guys standing with rifles in front of that door, and just as Brian came to a halt, Jessica did as well. "OPEN THE DOOR!" Brian addressed his men in an authoritative tone as he looked sideways for Jessica, who was staring at her surroundings. Jessica fixed her gaze on the door as Brian's voice rose and she noticed his man holding the door open. Brian stepped inside first, so she didn't dilly-dally and hurried inside quickly, where she discovered Monica with her face on her knees as her legs crouched on her chest. In contrast, Monica knew Brian h
★★★★ "I am a nurse; I have been working as an intern for a week, but I seldom encounter difficulties," Jessica responded in a soft tone, portraying herself as a helpless girl so that Brian would believe she posed no threat to this area or to him. She had to be patient with her goal of finding Monica because any error may throw their strategy off track, and Brian, from what she gathered, would not mind shooting her and Monica if necessary. "What?!" The doctor was horrified that the hospital sent an intern with him instead of a skilled nurse, especially because he suggested that he required someone who was proficient in tending to the wound. "Why did not you tell me beforehand that you were not an experienced nurse?” The doctor lambasted Jessica, who had said absolutely nothing to him until now. "Dr. I apologize for it, but I expected you to ask me something, but you remained silent throughout the drive, and I couldn't have the guts to speak with you." Jessica expressed regret to the
★★★★ Jessica sat in the backseat as the Doctor drove the car to an unknown location with few lights visible from the woods. She wouldn't deny that her soul was seeping out in dread. Despite her preparation, there was concern that she was no longer capable of eliminating. There was little time left in the morning, but she didn't expect to obtain much sunshine because the weather was chilly and dismal. As they walked out the door, two armed guys approached and stated, "Before we go inside, we need to search you." "I am the doctor, and he knows me well!" the doctor grumbled, gritting his teeth. He had already taken so many risks, leaving aside the danger of being apprehended by the cops. Not only was he compelled to come here, but Brian also made threats to harm his family. "That doesn't mean we will ignore the given orders," one of them grumbled at the doctor before moving his gaze to Jessica, which immediately disgusted her, and she quickly said, "If there is no woman to search me,
★★★★“Brian asked his physician to come treat his leg over the phone. The location is on the outskirts of the city, not anywhere nearby. Well, In addition, I saw an old cottage near the forest from where the call has happened," Cornell spoke to William, who was momentarily at a loss for words, before approaching the couch and settling in next to him."How are you aware of it?” William asked, focusing his attention on the laptop where he noticed a red dot in a specific area. Though it was unclear what the location was, it appeared to be on the outskirts of town, and the forest was close by.“While traveling to Edinburgh, my mother and I learned more about Brian. And we came across that Brian met a specific doctor, with whom he typically had check-up appointments due to his rare illness. Though we aren't positive, my mother has some reservations that Brian would look for someone to get in touch with. I therefore hacked the doctor's phone number."Turning on the recording he saved fo
