All Chapters of After Rebirth, The Two Billionaires Want Me: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

~Three days later - 2 p.m.~The stage was set for the press conference and several parties were present, waiting for the arrival of Kiera Campbell.Standing before the mirror in the lounge, Kiera’s reflection gazed back at her as her heart thudded in her chest as she took a deep breath, readying herself for the press conference that lay ahead.She was dressed in a distinguishing black suit of which the tailored fabric clung to her figure, exuding a sense of professionalism and strength. The jacket hugged her frame, accentuating her shoulders, while the pants fell elegantly to her ankles, elongating her legs in a powerful allure.Her hair, usually cascading in loose waves, was swept back in a neat bun, exposing the graceful curve of her neck and the silver necklace adorning it. The severity of the style emphasised her determination, and her commitment to the truth she would soon unveil. The pallor of her face, a remnant of her recent illness, contrasted with the dark attire, serving as

‘How could you fall in love with someone else so soon?’ His words replayed over and over again in her mind fuelling Kiera’s rage even more.A dark glint flashed in her eyes as all traces of a smile disappeared from her pretty face.The tension in the room was palpable as Kiera stood her ground against Nicholas, her voice firm and steady. “You’ve got a lot of nerve coming here, Nicholas. What’s more, is the stupid jabbering you decided to sprout. To be honest, I’ve had enough of your high-handed rubbish. I am sick and tired of you and your mistress invading my life.”"Kiera, it is not that way.""Not? Or did you only listen to the part of the news I declared to accept Jace and not the fact that my suffering was orchestrated by your girlfriend? I should sue her for this."Immediately, the typically composed Nicholas was taken aback by her sharp retort. His slate-grey eyes narrowed, a thin sheen of sweat glossing his forehead. “Kiera, you're being overly sensitive...”“Am I?” Kiera shot

Before Nicholas could meet up with Kiera, she hastened her footstep, got into her car and drove away. The last thing she wanted was his bad energy around her.The setting sun spilled its golden light through the windows of Kiera's apartment, casting long shadows across the floor. Tired, Kiera slipped into the couch with her bag by her side and rested a bit.All through her drive back home, one thought reigned in her mind. ‘What did he want?’She knew she was clear about whom she wanted but why was he coming to her when he had Cristal? Shouldn’t he be glad now that she had given him his freedom to be with whom he loved?No matter how hard she thought about it, she could not wrap her mind around it.Meanwhile, Nicholas stood at the doorway, his usually imposing figure seemed oddly diminished, his face etched with lines of worry.Kpar! Kpar!The sharp rap on Kiera's apartment door brought her out of her contemplation and jolted her to her feet.“Jeez, try not to kill someone already with

The shade of Nicholas's unwanted visit hung heavily over Kiera even after that day had passed, casting a pallor on her normally radiant spirit.She was happy about how things have ended, bringing peace but deep down, a certain kind of sadness enveloped her and not having many friends, she did not want to disturb Iris either.Grrrrhhh! Grrhhh!Releasing a deep yawn, Kiera leaned against the headboard of her bed and slowly shut her eyes.As her phone’s ringtone pierced the silence with its shrill ring, Kiera’s attention was brought to it and she picked it up only to find Jace on the other end.A small smile graced her soft lips before tapping on the answer icon.“Hello love,” she heard him greet, his voice providing a much-needed solace.“Hey, how are you?” she inquired, trying her best to keep things normal and pull enough attraction away from herself.“I am fine. And you? How is my baby girl faring?”“I’m alright.”“Great.” A brief pause followed and when next he spoke, his words were

The house was nestled serenely amidst the golden expanse of sunflower fields. Its structure was one of simplicity and quaint charm that it felt somewhat mislaid given the momentous transaction they were about to undertake.As though both of them were having similar thoughts, Jace and Kiera glanced at each other, nodded and then returned their gaze to the house.Leading the way, the old man brought them in and excused himself. Upon entering, Kiera's brows knitted together in quiet consternation, the simplicity of the dwelling appearing as an odd setting for their meeting.A few minutes later, a maid donned in a neatly pressed uniform, entered carrying a tray laden with steaming cups of coffee and two plates of covered cookies. Her courteous smile was the first interaction they had since the old man left them in the living room.“Welcome. Please enjoy this cup of coffee and snacks before the Master arrives,” she greeted warmly.Kiera and Jace accepted the coffee, their gazes meeting ove
