All Chapters of Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

***MIRABELLA'S POV***I had just settled down in my office when I heard a knock on the door.“Come in.” I ushered and the door swung open, revealing Lola, my secretary.“Mr. Anderson is here to see you, ma'am.” Lola informed me and I gave her a slight nod.“Let him in.” She leaves the office and soon enough, the door opens again, revealing a well dressed man with a deep scowl on his face.“Mr. Anderson,” I greeted, standing up to shake his hand. “Please, take a seat.”Mr Anderson sank into the chair across from my desk, his face still contorted in anger. “I have been wronged, Ms. Brookwood,” He said, his voice tight with frustration. “I have been cheated out of my hard-earned money.”“I see.” I responded, nodding gravely. “Can you tell me what happened?” “I entered into a contract with a local business to supply them with materials for a construction project," Mr. Anderson explained, his voice growing more agitated. ”But they've refused to pay me for my services."“How much do they

***EASTON'S POV***“Tell me you have some useful information for me.” I said while keeping my gaze focused on the wheels. I had the call connected to the car's Bluetooth, that way I won't get distracted.“Well, I was finally able to get the caller ID from the number you gave me. However, it was registered with a fake name so I couldn't track it down with any known person.” Kyle responded over the phone and I let out a sigh.Smart move. The caller must have suspected something like this and had taken precautionary measures.“And what about Mirabella's case?” I asked after a while and I could hear Kyle grumble from the other end before responding.“I told you already. The Brookwoods are high profile people, they don't let any personal information slip out just like that. All I can find are news headlines of Mirabella's return. Nothing about the kid or his biological father.” “So you're saying you can't track her activities in the last six years?” I asked with a frown, making a right tu

***NICOLE'S POV***I stared at my reflection on the mirror and nodded my head, satisfied with my appearance. I had on a sleeveless floral gown which stopped right above my knees, held in place by a black waist girdle with a gold head, and black leather tall boots to match.I left the room after grabbing my purse and walked into the living room. I glanced around, letting out a heavy sigh. The place felt so empty without Easton, and I kept thinking about our last discussion, and the way Easton stormed out without giving me a second glance.I wanted to tail him, find out where he was going but decided against it. He didn't return again until late night and when he did, I could perceive the smell of alcohol all over him. He didn't say a word to me about what happened after that day, and he's been speaking to me as though nothing happened but I knew that he still didn't trust me.A part of me knew my time with Easton was coming to an end but I would never let that happen. I decided to use

***MIRABELLA'S POV***The conference room was filled with the sound of gentle chatter as everyone settled down. We were greeted with three representatives of the Hillgates Company, Mr. Alex Chain, the CEO, Ryan Thomson, the CFO and Ms. Samantha Lee, the Marketing director. After everyone was settled, the meeting commenced with Easton taking the first opening. He rose from his seat, confident and poised, and then picked up the control for the projector screen.“Good morning, everyone. Thank you for considering our proposal. Our company has been at the forefront of industrial innovation, and we believe our digital products can revolutionize the way your company reaches customers.” Easton stated as he clicked on the control remote, showing a chart flow of sales on the projector.The investors looked impressed by the charts and then turned their attention back to us.“We are impressed with your company's growth.” Mr. Alex said with an approving nod. “How do you plan to integrate our bran

***EASTON'S POV***We were all settled in the hotel's conference room, Mirabella sat next to me, her expression unreadable as she kept her gaze locked on the investors as they signed each document.I let my gaze travel down to her outfit. She had worn a simple buttoned up long sleeve shirt and grey pants, with her hair let down, falling on her back and on each side of her shoulders. She radiated nothing but confidence, and elegance and I found it difficult to take my gaze off her.I tried to be on my best behavior throughout the trip but each time I saw her, I couldn't block out the longing feeling to hold her hand, to run my hands through the strands of her thick hair, and...My thoughts got snapped aside when Mr. Alex rose from his seat.“Well, Mr. Grey, I look forward to our joint partnership and future success.” He said while extending his hand.I stood up and accepted his handshake, a small smile on my face.“Thank you for choosing to partner with us.” I responded and he smiled,
