Austin Jones sat on the president's chair with his legs crossed, his hands drumming on the table while his gaze focused on the presentation, and the department heads were eager to satisfy him to get their perks.

When he was deep in thoughts, a phone rang, making the people in the conference hall wipe their sweat since they all know Austin would never allow anyone to interrupt a meeting.

Their heads turned around to see who was the unlucky fellow, but it again beeped, but from none other than Austin Jones himself!

Seeing that, they all relaxed, but a frown was settled on Austin's handsome face because he wouldn't receive any calls in 'do not disturb' mode unless they called repetitively, and no one in his sane mind would call him like crazy unless something happened!

With that, he grabbed his mobile from his pocket and eyed numerous missed calls from all of his close friends.

He grasped that something must be wrong and decided to call them when a message popped up on his screen from Da

    It's been five days since the scandal of the Jones family's second son having a forbidden love affair with his sister-in-law had become a trending search in the city.Austin Jones had tried every means possible to shut the media and delete the news without a trace, but it had become impossible even with the amount of power they possessed.To top it off, the people who once looked down on Vanessa and mocked her for marrying the second son of the Jones family because he was rich had pitied her for her miserable marriage.Frustrated with the result, Master Jones had ordered Austin to get Vanessa and present her before him even if he had to search the entire world.With that, Austin and Theo had utilized all the resources, but couldn't find any trace of Vanessa after she moved from New York as if she had disappeared into thin air after she divorced him!Her social media accounts weren't even active in these past days, and the only post that was present on her account was the ironic apolog

    When the dinner party was finally over, Vanessa was still rooted in her place and let the hall turn empty.In a couple of minutes, only Vanessa and Caroline were present in the enormous hall, and she sighed.Inhaling a deep breath, Vanessa stood up and turned around to go to the restroom, and Caroline caught up with her from behind as she was worried for Vanessa.When Vanessa walked out, Austin eyed her leaving silhouette and his gaze turned cold, but his face was detached of any emotion, and he too strode out in his long steps.Theo, who stood silently behind Austin, followed the gloomy man out, but didn't utter a word, too scared to say anything that would trigger Austin's anger!But he was bewildered would be an understatement when he saw Vanessa standing in front of them all safe and sound, because he had scoured for her like crazy all these months, personally checking all the places they thought she could be present at, yet, he couldn't get a single clue of her whereabouts.Howev

    Mia was enraged as she stared at Vanessa's arrogant silhouette while the sting in her face was still fresh in her mind, compelling her to remember what that bitch Vanessa had done to her.Her eyes grew fierce as she stroked her swollen face, and the desire to rip Vanessa to shreds settled in the back of her mind!With that idea, she broke free from Austin's grip and attempted to catch up with Vanessa, but Austin sensed her intentions and forcefully grabbed her hand, pulling her back with a severe look.Mia looked at Austin in astonishment, incredulity was written over her face, and she couldn't help but ask him about what was going through his head.She blinked her moist eyes and asked, "brother?" in a mournful tone, making him uncomfortable, but he knew restraining Mia was the best thing for her for the time being."Don't try to meddle with her," Austin admonished the miserable Mia in his arms, sending shivers down her spine with his harsh tone.Mia was infuriated to see him shield t

    Vanessa opened her eyes when she heard the screeching sound of her car and eyed the 'King' from the window, and she had a headache just by thinking of it.She was in no mood to go to the King and have fun, but she couldn't skip it since it was Fiona's birthday party.Moreover, knowing Fiona was a fan of night parties, Vanessa would get killed in her hands if she ditched it at the last minute!Seeing the lavish ambiance from the outside with all the luxurious cars parked right on their spots itself showed how much the rich visit the 'King' and for Fiona, who grew up in billions, this kind of expenditure for her birthday celebration wasn't a big thing.As Fiona prefers privacy, she had booked the majority of the club and all the people who were invited to the celebration were known to each other turning the atmosphere even more lively.Vanessa rushed out to the King straight after she wrapped up her business at the earlier banquet and she didn't get the time to change her costumes.As a

    Austin's ears felt like they were bleeding from the ear-splitting sounds coming from the interior when his car came to a halt with a loud screech in front of the "King" Club.He didn't want to go into the club since he didn't like loud music, but when he remembered Vanessa was there with a man alongside her, he was intrigued and decided to go in.Inside the club, David was seated straight across the stage with a glass of whisky in his hands, and he was excited to see the Fiery Ice Band's performance as he heard Vanessa's friend's enticing speech earlier.Moreover, he wanted Austin to witness his ex-wife and see her in a new light as Vanessa appeared so charming all of a sudden right after her return.He himself was shell shocked when she saw the confidence oozing from her and the way she carried herself.He even wondered when did the timid, and obedient Vanessa, who almost never raised her voice, had turned out to be so dazzling and conquered everyone on her way as if she were a queen

    The song had ended when Vanessa opened her eyes after the last strike on the drums, and applause echoed throughout the club. There wasn't a single person who wasn't impressed with their performance, including Austin!Disappointed that the song was ended too quickly, despite the fact that it had taken roughly five minutes, the crowd chanted in unison, "one more, please!""Yes, we want to hear another song, please!"The band members who had just stood up from their instruments and were about to walk down the stage paused and looked at Vanessa after hearing their pleas.Because the rest of the band members had already agreed with their request, and Vanessa wasn't the one who hadn't shown any response yet. So, her decision would be the final whether they would probably play another song or not.Sensing their gazes, Vanessa brushed her hair casually, raised her sticks and pounded the drums lazily in accord, and mumbled, "I'm in."With that said, all of them had occupied their seats, and Va

    When David saw the unnerving tension that was developing between Vanessa and Austin, he was perplexed. But when he saw the brave front Vanessa was putting on, he was really tempted to give her a thumbs up!Because many of the famous men couldn't withstand Austin's powerful aura, let alone a woman, who was once so meek and obedient to Austin stood up to him without batting an eyelid!Wow! What an unforgettable scene to the eyes!Seeing the cold man who wasn't even bothered to budge and stood across her with his frosty eyes glaring daggers at her, she was amused and her brows twitched.She couldn't help but let the snort out and queried, "do you need anything else, Mr. Jones?"Hearing her mockery added with her nonchalance made his veins pop out in anger, and he clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white to suppress his fury.Eyeing the pretentious woman in front of him, who was behaving as if she wasn't the one who had just provoked him and riled him up, he just didn't h

    After Austin had left the venue, Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief and began sipping various beverages with her pals while they continued to converse, and she occasionally caught up with them in the conversation, all the while giving encouraging nods and gentle smiles.By the time the party ended, Vanessa had become a little tipsy, and she chose to contact a designated driver to take her home because that was the only alternative that appeared best for herWhen the car came to a halt across her house, she quickly strode away in stumbling steps while her eyelids were drooping, and she was knocked out on her bed in no time!The bright orangish hues were sprawling across the glass window as the sun was in its full view, while Vanessa was sleeping peacefully, unaware of the sensation she had caused overnight.When the clock struck seven, the quiet room was banged with her ringtone and she reluctantly fiddled with her fingers while her eyes were still closed.As she couldn't find her damn

    Two years laterAustin held her hand and let her climb the steps slowly as she was nine months pregnant. It's been a year and a half since they were married and he couldn't be any more happier.He got his love and they both built a house for themselves, wiping away all the bad memories in their lives and welcomed the joy with their open hands."Ouch." Vanessa exclaimed when Austin paused and quickly tended to her, "what's wrong, Nessa? Shall we go to the hospital?""No, Austin. Our naughty baby was moving and kicked me hard." Vanessa said and chuckled a little.Even though she was bloated and a little plump, his eyes were always on her, making her feel even more beautiful than she already is.The pregnancy glow on her face was clear, showing how happy she was with him, in their love nest, waiting to welcome the fruits of their love.He placed a kiss on her baby bump and lifted her in his arms when she squealed, "let me down, Austin.""No, I'm not letting you walk like this," Austin sa

    Vanessa settled herself onto her chair and massaged her temples a little to relieve her stress a little after the long meeting she had.But Catherine came knocking on her door, "Miss Grant. Mr. Jones is waiting for you."As soon as Catherine said that, a sigh escaped her lips and she mumbled, "alright. I'd be out soon."Catherine nodded and went away, while Vanessa didn't know whether to laugh or cry because she underestimated Austin.A few weeks passed by since he declared, "let's start a fresh, Vanessa!"And in these weeks, he was trying his best to come to her and take her out and do all the little things she always wanted him to do for her.Seeing all of that, she didn't know how to reject him, because she couldn't lie to herself and pretend that it was nothing when Austin was changing. For her!She clearly remembered all of their dates they were having almost every other day and he never failed to surprise her with how much effort and consideration he was taking to get her back.

    "Vanessa's car is broken, Austin. And you're urging me to start the car and drove away?" David's words echoed in Austin's ears. Nonetheless, he put on an emotionless facade and mumbled coldly, "What business do I have in that?"However, when he uttered those words, the car wasn't moved completely out of sight from Vanessa and Fiona, and his voice wasn't too low.Hearing his words made Vanessa purse her lips tightly, but the smile didn't leave her face even after she listened to every word clearly, and in no time the car passed away as if nothing happened, and in the next moment the smile on Vanessa's face vanished."That arrogant bastard." Fiona cursed as annoyance danced in her tone and Vanessa shook her head while her lips curled upwards ever so slightly, "let it be. I don't want people to think as if you're nuts with how you're looking right now.""Fuck you! I'm seriously angry at that asshole!" Fiona said while taking a heavy breath and added, "Why did he have to be so complacent?

    Fiona let out a curse as the last ounce of patience left in her died when the car stopped in the middle of the road, "No fucking way! Why on earth did you have to choose to leave me this late at night?"Vanessa raised her brows and scoffed at Fiona's dramatic gesture. She shook her head, undid her seatbelt, and muttered, "let's go out of the car and take a look."With that said, Vanessa stepped outside and opened the front of the car to find out what was wrong.However, even though Vanessa was lacking knowledge regarding cars, she understood the car needed some urgent repair to get it going.Fiona slowly stood beside Vanessa and mumbled in annoyance, "did it break down for real?" "Vanessa cocked her head and met Fiona's eyes, "Exactly on point. Your prediction had come true."Fiona let out a sigh and pursed her lips together in worry, "what are we going to do now?""You must be kidding me, Fiona. What are we going to do? Is that what you're asking when it's so obvious we need help to

    As soon as Fiona said that, Vanessa tilted her head and scoffed while her eyes were focused on Fiona, "I know I'm awesome, but I don't think it makes me compatible with Richard."Fiona couldn't suppress the smile that was threatening to burst from her lips and mumbled with a glint in her eyes, the tease in her tone was clearly visible, "honestly, I thought you both would make a nice match when I saw you both dancing so smoothly earlier."When Vanessa was convinced that Richard was no longer following her, she sighed with relief and moved forward to get a drink.But soon after hearing Fiona's remark, she added, "oh no, I'm not aware of the fact that your vision was significantly compromised these days."Fiona waved her hands and scoffed, "Jeez! My eyesight was alright. However, I must say that Richard is strongly proactive when it comes to you. Isn't he?"Vanessa wasn't concerned about it and carried on with socializing after talking for a bit. Fiona on the other side was bored to deat

    "Austin, Do you really want to dance?" David repeated his words as he didn't get any reply from Austin.Although Austin was calm, seeing Vanessa walk with Richard so comfortably, his face turned livid while the coldness in his aura turned so chilling.But Vanessa seemed to be not aware of Austin's heated gaze as she immersed herself in the dance.Richard kept his one hand on her tiny waist, while his other hand held her palm ever so gently, but the grip was firm, keeping her in his hold.While she held his shoulder and kept moving with the beat with ease.As the music turned to high beats, their moves turned more romantic, their steps were more in sync, and the couple looked so pleasing to the eyes.Their genes were certainly top notch was an added advantage.As time passed by, almost all the people's eyes settled on the dancing couple as the atmosphere suddenly turned steamy with Richard twirling her and they ended up coming so close.They were so close that they could feel each othe

    Hearing Vanessa's words, Fiona raised her head and stared at Vanessa's solemn expression and understood that she was damn serious.And a sigh escaped her lips as the realization sunk in."Alright then. If that was what you wants." Fiona stated cooly while she nodded her head and she firmly decided to give up mentioning Richard again.Anyhow, Richard was a well known playboy. Getting acquainted with him would only bring Vanessa trouble, and he was barely a romantic prospect, with not much gain or loss!But apparently, Richard didn't think like that it seems.Because his wooing methods improved as days passed, and he was getting bold day by day.His ways were extremely flashy, catching all the unwanted attention. His artificial flowers would perfectly sit on her table right on time, not a minute prior or ahead.He took great lengths in sending flowers which were rare species yet they were so good to the eye.As if that wasn't enough, he was literally bombarding his Feeds with posts, cre

    Hearing Silas' words, Vanessa didn't retort them and gave a faint smile as she was well aware of what she was doing and where she was heading.However, she didn't act too arrogantly and exclaimed, "I still need your guidance, Mr. Dixon. After all, I'm still not very experienced!"As soon as Vanessa said that, Silas's lips tugged upwards in a pleasing curl as he was quite content with the way she purposely humbled herself in front of him.And he immediately waved his hands while a light chuckle escaped his lips, "You're very formal, Miss Grant." With a slight pause, he added while glancing at Vanessa, "Let us learn from one another and collaborate to propel Grant Corporation to new heights."Vanessa gave a firm nod, and stated politely, "I agree with you, Mr. Dixon."Soon after Vanessa stepped out of his office, Vanessa's smile faded to oblivion and she muttered coldly under her breath, "such an old fox!"After she was done dealing with Silas, she had become super busy since it was Mon

    Vanessa eyed the document lying on her desk for a while and abruptly marched out of her cabin with the file in her hands, leaving Caroline stunned.However, Vanessa went by in a flash and a Caroline shook her head in disbelief.The sound of high heels clanking on the floor is the only thing that could be heard in the empty corridors while she walked forward to Silas Dixon's office.Her face was cold with no trace of warmth, and the determination in her amber orbs was clearly visible.With her head held high, and shoulders squared, every step she took exuded the confidence deeply ingrained in her bones.Eyeing her, Silas's assistant, who was on the side, remained dumbfounded for a while, and queried, "Miss Grant, are you going to meet Mr. Dixon?"Hearing his words, Vanessa gave a faint 'yes' and knocked on the door of Silas's office, while the assistant squinted his eyes baffled.In the next second, a quick 'come in' came from the inside, and Vanessa immediately pushed the door open an
