Esther's POV

I opened my eyes gently as the bright sun's rays projected at my face. I rolled back and forth, stretching and yawning. It has been a year of being divorced, and my life has changed completely. Changed for good.

I'm officially taking over my father's company, after a year of dedication and determination, a year of mastering all that I needed to know.

I have anticipated this day for a long time, the day I would resume office as the CEO of ‘Mave Company Limited.’

I stood up and headed to the bathroom. I fill the tub with steaming water, its rising tendrils of warmth curling around me. I sank into its embrace, feeling the heat melt the previous day's tension from my body.

After what seemed like an hour of bath, I came out and dressed up. I wore my black suit, my face lit up with joy and happiness, feeling a weight of responsibility pressed down on me.

The happiness I thought I would never have again.

The happiness I thought Michael and Maya s

I'll expect new people in my life regardless of my position. “Well, let him in, please. Oh, you haven't told me your name,” I asked as I leaned back comfortably. “I'm Jennifer, ma'am, your secretary,” she replied. I nodded as she made her way out. After a few minutes, a young man entered he dressed in a gray suit, holding a file in his hand. His blue eyes locked up with mine as I felt my soul trembling. He turned and slammed the door behind him gently as he walked towards me and stood. My mouth went dry as I swallowed hard, trying to quench the thirst in me. “Good afternoon, Ms…..?” he said as he stretched his hand, demanding a handshake, his blue eyes still piercing through my soul. I sat properly before throwing my hand for a handshake. “Esther, and are you?” I asked curiously, trying

    Chapter 012John's POV I couldn't believe who I saw a few minutes ago. This morning, I entered the Mave company limited, angry and frustrated because, after the death of the CEO, the company had not yet appointed a new CEO for over a year now, and I owed them a huge amount of money. The moment I got the news that a CEO was appointed, I rushed to go and claim my money, but then I saw Esther, the CEO. Her beautiful face made my anger vanish immediately. ~I entered my car and sat, letting out a deep breath, replaying what just happened in my head. “wow! I really need to go back tomorrow, to see Esther,” I whispered to myself. I started the engine and drove home. The picture of Esther's face couldn't stop playing in my head when she came close to me and slapped me. I was glad when she slapped me because I used that opportunity to get closer to her even more. Shortly, I arrived home. I went straight to the dining table and pulled the dining chair to take my seat. I took a bottle of

    Chapter 013 Esther's POV “Mom, we are in trouble, big trouble,” I said in my hoarse voice as tears streamed down my face. “Come baby, tell me what is wrong,” she said as moisture began to gather in her eyes. She came and gathered me in her arms. “Let's sit down first,” Mom said as we went and sat on the couch in the living room. I wiped off my tears and placed my briefcase on my lap, then brought out the loan file without a word. I handed them over to mom, who was seated beside me. She quietly collected the file and read through it. “Oh my God, fifty million!” she shouted as her hand went to cover her mouth in shock. Her tears dripped on the papers. One of us must be strong enough to console another. I placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to console her as we all sobbed. “Your father's name and signature are on the papers,” she whispered as she leaned her head on my chest. “It's OK mom, we need to figure something out,” I said softly. “I don't think our co

    Chapter 014Esther's POV I felt sick all of a sudden. My head began spinning, trying to comprehend what I just saw. “I can't do either of this,” I said in a pleading tone, hoping he could reconsider. Was John fucking crazy? How does he expect me to pay the money within ‘3 fucking weeks’ or I'll sign a marriage contract with him? “Well, if you aren't OK with any of these, I'll involve the court,” he said as his gaze remained fixed on me with unfaltered intensity. A simple smile was plastered on his face. I let out a heavy sigh before standing up to walk to him. My footsteps reverberated throughout the office. I stood in front of him. “What do you want me to do: kneel and beg? I can do that now! Please give me some time! Please have mercy,” I pleaded as I plastered a pity face on me. My heart kept pounding. “It seems you didn't read through the file I gave you. Well, let me explain to you. Your dad was supposed to pay me six months ago, but unfortunately, he died.

    Chapter 015John's POV I branched to a bar and drank some coffee before making my way to the office. “shit,” I murmured as I gritted my teeth. I never expected Esther would choose to return the money in 3 weeks. I took the elevator as I stormed into my office angry and depressed. Does that mean I have lost Esther? Noo, I can't imagine life without her. This can't happen. So stupid of me! I could have needed my money in 5 or 7 days instead of 3 weeks. I need to do something, but I have to wait and see if she can really return the money within the due time. I reclined effortlessly in my sleek leather chair, fingertips lightly steepled, exuding calm authority as I surveyed the bustling cityscape through the floor-to-ceiling windows. I turned my chair towards my table. My eyes suddenly pinned a copy of the offer I made to Esther as a wave of frustration ran through my veins. I picked it out by reading through it again. I immediately hid the paper under my table when I heard som

    Chapter 016Esther's POV I was lying on the bed, my gaze fixed on the ceiling fan as my heart weighed down with a deep suffocating sadness. The weight of yesterday's tension and pressure pressed down on me. I could have been in my marital home with my baby and my husband living our best lives. My child could have been walking by now. My child would have started calling me ‘Mom’ or ‘mama’. Maya took everything away from me. My husband, my happiness, my child and the trust I had in her. Michael foolishly fell for it. Who knows, maybe Maya was already carrying Michael's child, or she had probably given birth. “fuck!” it felt like someone stuck me in my chest, shattering the emotions I had so carefully built.Yes! Someone stuck with me and it was Michael. I thought the love we shared was real. I thought he would investigate deeply before making the decision he made. All my life I had been nothing more than an obedient wife to Michael, never wanting to trouble him. Enduring his excu

  • The billionaire's love    He Wants Me

    Chapter 017Esther's POV I woke up as early as 4 in the morning and did a little bit of research on the CEO who wanted to help us with forty million dollars. I found out that aside from being a CEO, he owns luxurious hotels and villas in America, the UK and England. I wonder why such a man with so much money would want something in return when he could just give us the complete fifty million dollars without even feeling anything. Well, maybe he needed what money couldn't buy from us. I just hoped it was something that wouldn't be beyond our power. My stomach flipped just thinking I would have to meet him in person. After a few minutes of research, I went back to bed, to take a nap before the sun rose, but the sleep wouldn't come. I kept rolling back and forth in bed. The curiosity of meeting such a successful person kept playing in my mind. I quickly opened my eyes when I heard my alarm ring. It was already 7:30 in the morning. It felt like I was lying there for 30 hours. I qui

    Chapter 018Mrs Williams, (Esther's Mom's) POV It felt late. I rose from the bed, yawning and stretching. My body has been rough and heavy lately. It's getting dusky outside as I open the window curtains. Still groggy from the long sleep, I changed into jeans and a t-shirt, then headed straight down to the kitchen to make some food before Esther returned. I started washing that pot when I heard Esther's voice from behind. It was almost a snarl. I sensed something was wrong. I swallowed the lump in my throat before turning. I saw her eyes darkened, the expression she wore was grim. Her eyes pierced through me. I could feel that the meeting wasn't successful. “He agreed to help us only if I had sex with him, mom,” her voice, barely audible, makes me shudder from head to toe. A wave of shame ran through me. “What the fuck,” I murmured, my eyes widened. I could see the pain and anger all over Esther's face. “Esther, it's OK,” I consoled as she turned her face away, allowing tears to

    Chapter 040John's POV “John, who really is Jessica to you?” Esther asked. The silence that followed the room was almost defeating. I felt a storm of emotion. I slowly raised my head and my eyes met hers. I saw something in her, I couldn't quite place, perhaps confusion and jealousy. “I'm so sorry you have to experience this,” I said quietly. “Well, to be honest, Jessica and I dated back then in college. She left me for a guy who is rich, leaving me heartbroken and devastated. Since then, I have considered her as just a friend,” I said, looking into her eyes, hoping she could see the sincerity in me. “Look, Esther, there is nothing between us, I promise. I was just trying to help her,” I added. Esther nodded before placing a hand on my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. “I know the man I'm married to. I believe you,” she plastered a cute smile on her face. A wave of relief washed over me. Thankfully, Esther was an understanding person. My mind was crowded with thoughts tryi

    Chapter 039Esther's POV The house was quiet as I slowly woke up, the soft hum of the morning light filtering through the curtains. I noticed the other side of the bed was empty and showed no signs of John. My heart skipped to beat as different wild thoughts ran through my head.The silence of the atmosphere was interrupted by a burst of laughter. I frowned as I slipped out of bed and followed the sound. The laughter grew louder and mingled with the clinking of dishes. Pushing open the kitchen door, I met a scene that stung more than a knife to the heart. John and an unknown woman standing at the counter had their movements in perfect harmony as if they had practiced this routine a thousand times.The woman leaned closer to John, her hands pushing him as they worked together.I had no idea who that woman was, but I didn't think she was his relative. John, who always seemed so reserved, was laughing at the jokes the woman was cracking. His laughter was so rich and genuine, a sound

    Chapter 038Esther's POV John helped me get seated in the car as I was still in shock about my pregnancy. It felt like a dream. I had been trying to puzzle out what was happening to me. Is it that the doctor who attended to me during my accident wasn't professional, or I was really not pregnant? It's just some misunderstanding. I turned and looked at John who was seated beside me, buried in thought. The silence in the atmosphere was too thick to cut with a knife.‘Do you love me?’ These words echoed in my ears like a thunderstorm. I wasn't sure if I could answer that question so far, since after our marriage John had been considerate to me in every way. I thought these three words “I love you” were not that important and our marriage was still happy without them. I gently place my hand on my belly, emotionally feeling my child inside of me. I wasn't really sure if I was pregnant or not, but, yes! It felt real. All of a sudden, the car came to a halt, bringing me back to life. As

    Chapter 037John's POV Reaching the ward, Esther was already asleep; the soft click from the door made her open her eyes slowly. I walked towards her, wearing a smile on my face. “Hey, little doll,” I whispered. She stretched her hand to hold mine, demanding that I sit close to her. “Hey John, welcome back. How did it go?” she asked. “Ah… It was superb, a company was demanding collaboration with us, that's all,” I said. “Uhm… Actually, I'm still in the dark about what you said earlier, regarding your pregnancy,” I added, trying to bring back the conversation. She rolled her eyes before letting out a heavy sigh which made my heart sink. My gaze fixed on her lips impatiently waiting for her to explain. She adjusted a bit before clearing her throat. “It has been years since I divorced my husband, but the memory still remains fresh every fucking day, as if it just happened yesterday. The day I divorced my husband, I was involved in a car accident, and I was a few weeks pregnant…”

    Chapter 026John's POV I stared at Esther for about two minutes and was completely confused. I thought we were on this together. I thought she wanted to get pregnant and get rid of me.I took a few steps forward and stood in front of her. “Look, whatever it is in your mind, you need to calm down OK?” I consoled her. “I'm fucking confused, it's just…” she whispered, searching for the right word to say. “It's fine, you need to rest,” I said as I embraced her with a warm hug. I walked her back to her bed. The doctor and nurses stared at us in shock. I felt embarrassed by Esther's actions. I felt like disappearing from the hospital, but no, I couldn't do that. Esther is my wife and I have to be there for her. I needed to calm her down. “Uhm ... . Please can I be alone with my wife?” I asked. “Yeah, sure,” the doctor said before they trooped out of the ward. I followed behind them and shut the door after they went out. I let out a heavy sigh three consecutive times to keep my heart i

    Chapter 025Esther's POV I slowly opened my eyes and raised my head. I felt a horrible headache which made me wince. I snapped my head and what I saw next made my heart skip a beat. John's naked body was laid beside me. I looked down and that was when I realised I was also naked. my eyes popped out as I was trying to remember what happened last night. I knew I arrived home and met John in the entrance, that was all I could register. “fuck,” I groaned. I shook my head, anyways he was my husband and there was no harm in that. I used the sheet to cover John's body before walking to the bathroom. I took a shower, the warm water washing away the pain that was behold in my body. After bathing I wore a gown and my flip-flops. Heading downstairs to prepare breakfast as it was the weekend and that was the maids' off day.I stood in the kitchen for a while wandering around trying to figure out the fastest food to cook. I needed to prepare the food before John gets down. Food was one of th

    Chapter 034Esther's POVI had thought about mom's maid's suggestion and I tried going to the hospital to meet the doctor and discuss if there is any way I can give birth again. It was hard to outsmart John. I told him I wanted to visit a friend of mine in the hospital, and luckily he agreed without suspecting anything. I told him I wanted to go alone and, without a protest, he agreed. I arrived at the hospital about 30 minutes ago, and I was already waiting for the doctor who was busy with patients. Just then, the door cracked open, and the doctor came in.“Heyyy, Esther, how are you?” he asked, plastering a smile on his face. I cleared my throat as my heart kept pounding. “I'm fine Doc, thanks. I came about my inability to give birth… Is there anything you could do… Maybe surgery or something?” I asked, my gaze fixed on his lips. He leaned back in his chair and let out a heavy sigh. His expression already told me what I needed to know. I know there was no way out. I just can't

    Chapter 033John's POV I sat impatient in my office, seconds gave way to minutes, minutes gave way to hours, but there was no call from Esther. I told her to call or text me when she was done with the office, but she didn't. I dug out my phone from my pocket, angry and frustrated, I dialed her number. It rang but there was no response. My heart skipped a beat as multiple thoughts crossed my mind. I raked my hands through my hair trying to brush it off. I dialed her number again and luckily she picked up. “Hello, aren't you done with work? You should have told me you would be late,” I asked, worried. “I'm at mom's house,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. What! She wasn't even in the office. I gritted my teeth as a mix of anger and frustration pressed down on me. Why didn't she tell me? If she knew how worried I was at that moment she wouldn't dare to shift an inch without telling me.“What the fuck. Why didn't you tell me? I'll come and pick you up now,” I restored. I

As I was about to carry my handbag that was between us, I felt John's eyes on me, which made my heart skip two beats. Yes! My instincts were right, he would definitely look at me. I raised my head and my gaze fixed on his face. “Wow! You look beautiful, little doll,” he said, his voice soft and soothing. Hearing those words alone, my nipples began to harden, I was just so consumed with John's handsome face that I didn't even thank him for the compliment. His strong jawline, the distinctive shape of his face, and his commanding presence pulled me in.Despite my heartache and turmoil, I felt I still had a room for love.As he put a smile on his face, my breath caught, the horns and sound of vehicles passing by faded into the background.
