EllaIt's a long shot. I know that as I take a deep breath, walking down the hall. I only have one shot at this, but it's better than doing nothing.Besides, Dr. Leo and I haven't met just yet. He doesn't quite know what I'm capable of.So, I take one more breath, close my eyes tight, and start walking toward the pediatric doctor's office with a fake drunk walk to guide me.Pretending to be drunk was Jacob's idea. Everything else was mine. I told the two not to breathe a word of any of this and that I would take care of everything.I let my feet falter below me as though I've had far too much to drink. In truth, it's been a talent of mine to learn from example.I knock on Dr. Leo's door, leaning against the frame as seductively as I can. "Well, there he is," I purr with a fake slur in my throat."I'm sorry?" Dr. Leo questions, standing up quickly. "Who are you?""Oh, Dr. Leo, please help me," I begin to wail, tripping over my feet as I enter his small office. "I've been here
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 25 : Hypocritical Husband
Ella As I stand in the hallway barefoot, I can't help but continue to question what George is doing here. He came out of nowhere, suddenly saving me before Dr. Leo could try to assault me any further. I then notice Jessica behind him, watching the scene in either distaste or annoyance.Either way, the feeling is mutual.Dr. Leo is quickly taken away by the hospital security, screaming and ranting about being set up. His nose is bleeding, something I hadn't noticed at first. But as he continues to fight against the bigger men, I give him a satisfied little wave as he is taken out of sight."What were you doing in that office?" George's voice is level as usual, but his face leaves something to be desired. He seems dazed, and the anger I saw as he attacked Dr. Leo has given way to frustration. "You were seducing the man just to accuse him of assault?"I cross my arms, appalled that this man, my ex, could look at that situation and find a way to blame me for it. "This is none of yo

George"Alright, so I compiled all the data, organized the claims, police report, and evidence we were able to find on him–honestly, why do people put their crimes on their phones? 'Do you have a warrant?' Yes they have a fucking warrant, you–" "Focus, Allen." "Right. Right. Back to what I was saying. So, with the evidence we've gathered, the police had grounds for a warrant for an investigation. Furthermore, he's been taken away by the police just this morning–we have confirmation on that." "Good," I nod. "People like Leo have no place in a hospital, especially grandmother's hospital." "Sir, no offense but that's hardly the real reason you did this." Allen sighs, shaking his head. "Is it really that hard to admit that you care about Ella?" "I'm simply making amends for the past. There's nothing more to it." "If you're certain sir," Allen says in a tone that makes clear he doesn't believe me. "Anyways, in other news, Charlotte's case is nearly finished." "And now..."

GeorgeThere are very few times I go to company parties and company lunches, and that's when I am the host of them. Socializing is... not my expertise. Courtrooms are easier, speaking there, addressing the jury is easier because it's about explaining things in a way that makes people understand, that makes them sympathetic or angry, all the while following the rules of the game and the laws that have been set out. However, there are exceptions to this, like how we were finally able to crush the media rumors about what happened with me and Charlotte. Many of my employees had to deal with harassment and other such things because of that, so not only were they given a bonus but I also offered to take them all out to dinner. Mulligan's Steak House is popular, expensive, but it offers good steaks and has enough space for a large reservation of over twenty people. It's one of the better places, even if the large group I'm with is a little loud. I'm trying to enjoy my steak when
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 28: Lie Until You Lose It
GeorgeDinner finishes late and I'm taking care of the bill, a couple thousand, while the others are going ahead of me. A few people have to call cabs to get back home but all in all, a successful dinner. There was that one hiccup with the video, but it was fine. I was fine. Nothing I couldn't handle. Allen goes ahead of me and just as I'm about to leave I hear him speak up in surprise. "Oh, you're... Rachel, right?" "Yeah, I'm Ella's friend. You're–Allen? Yeah?" "Yeah. I saw the video, the performance was good," he praises awkwardly and I grimace, hesitating to leave the restaurant. Rachel isn't someone I'd ever want to mess with, and she could hold a grudge like nobody's business. If I went out there I'd probably start a fight. Even if she WAS drunk, that would cause trouble and then Ella would get involved. It's like I can never say the right thing around her anymore, that my every action just falls flat compared to what I want it to be. The question is, would it

EllaHow is this even happening? I look back up at Sara, her expression unchanged. I look back down at the paper I'm reading.Kingston Reina.I'm almost terrified to keep reading past the initial diagnosis."Pathology report finds the benign mass located in his chest. Several different examinations were performed to confirm the mass can be safely removed without causing much harm or discomfort to the patient."I let myself breathe out, knowing the mass can't do anything to my father. But that doesn't stop my curiosity. How could he have kept this from everyone? Maybe I don't deserve to know after being away for three years. But Mom? Vinny? What about those who have been beside him?"This doesn't make any sense," I whisper into the pages. "I'm sorry this is how you had to find out," Sara states, giving me a compassionate and kind look. "I wasn't expecting to see the information, either. It's not what I was looking for.""And what exactly were you looking for?" It comes out exas
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 30: Measure Up?
EllaMy skin feels hot as the words Elijah has uttered hit me in waves. He wants to know more about me? Also, how does he know about my marriage to George? It seems like no one can put together that I'm the same Ella he'd married several years ago. Every person acts as if that woman could not possibly be me.But that was the entire point of the charade, wasn't it? To appear as an entirely different woman. But now, I stand here and stare at Elijah, trying to interpret what he's said. He could mean he's interested in knowing how my marriage ended. He could be thinking about knowing when the marriage ended, the amount of time we've been apart, or maybe even why."Oh?" is all I can find myself saying. Way to go, Ella. You look like a fool.I'm not going to sit here and assume the man has romantic feelings for me. It's silly, truly, to ponder Elijah speaking to me only because he still holds a soft spot in his heart for me. We're both grown adults. We can discuss business and our live
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 31 : Jealousy, Jealousy
GeorgeI inhale her scent, somehow realizing it's something I never did enough in the past. She smells like something delectable... What is it? I can't place it. Has this been what she always moved through the world wearing? A scent so tricky to my nose? A scent that reminds me of rainy days in the house where cookies were baked or a full turkey would be brined. This woman was my wife for three years. How, as I move into her space, am I unable to find the smell I can't remember in the house?It's not a common one. It's not like those meals, the desserts, or even her hair products. Those were sweet-smelling. I remember that much, seeing as I'd fuck her after she lathered her hair and dug her nails into my shoulder.I turn my neck to the side at this, closing my eyes as the memory rushes in so fast I can't stop it. The twitch rushes through my skin as I try to calm myself as quickly as my brain fills with the days and nights with her."Let go of me," Ella rumbles. "We're going to
