Conflicting
Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 31: Conflicting . In the tense atmosphere of the family meeting, Archibald's mind raced with conflicting thoughts and emotions. His father's disapproval of Isabella weighed heavily on him, casting a shadow over the proceedings. As the discussion veered towards the absence of Isabella, Archie couldn't suppress the gnawing concern that his relationship was being judged and condemned by those closest to him. "Is that why Bella isn't here?" Archie's voice cut through the room, his tone tinged with frustration and defiance. He couldn't help but feel a surge of protectiveness towards Isabella, a need to defend her honor and their relationship against the scrutiny of his family. Before anyone could respond, Chantelle, Isabella’s half-sister, interjected with a cutting remark. "Bella doesn't deserve to be here," she stated bluntly, her voice laced with disdain. Archie's temper flared instantly, his eyes narrowing with anger as

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire .Chapter 32: talks .“Shouldn’t we be up there listening on the conversation?.” Jake inquired from his sister who sat next to him at the counter.Dara rolled her eyes. “Isabella’s business is certainly not our business so focus on your work and learn to mind your self next time.”Jake gave her a look at that resisting the urge to roll his eyes before paying attention to his books which were scattered around the counter. He glanced through them for a second before looking upstairs again.He wondered what Isabella and the hot guy were talking about.“What if she needs our help?.” Jake spoke up again shifting aside his books as he looked at his sister.Dara sighed dropping her phone back on the counter. “Jake, Warren is not like that. He’s Archibald best friend and he’s also one of the higher ups at where I work. I really respect him so whatever you are thinking, drop it!.” “I’m not thinking anything.”“You are!.”“What if he’s here to present the n

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 33: Conflicts part 2 . In the tense silence that followed Chantelle's bombshell revelation, her mother's voice cut through the air with a mix of determination and concern. The elder Mrs Norman, a woman of poise and authority, addressed Alan's grandfather directly, her tone firm but tinged with empathy. "Mr. Archibald, we can't ignore what's happened here," she began, her voice steady despite the gravity of the situation. "Alan has made mistakes, but we must do what's right for the family's reputation and for the sake of the child. Chantelle can’t just have a baby for him without him having to take responsibility for it.” Alan's grandfather, a figure known for his wisdom and level-headedness, regarded her with a solemn expression. His features betrayed a mix of contemplation and concern as he processed the implications of Chantelle's pregnancy and the proposed solution of marriage. "This is a serious matter," Alan's grandfathe

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 34: Choices . Archie knocked once before he strolled into his father’s office without waiting for a reply. He stopped right in his tracks when he sighted his nephew, Alan sitting across his father’s table on the chair opposite him. He came for a meeting with his father and not the brat. Years ago, Archibald would never have imagined having a beef with his nephew but now it looked like it was. “Archibald.” His father sported a small smile on seeing him as he gestured towards the seat next to Alan. “You came to work today, I was beginning to think you would ditch the idea,” Archibald only gave a small smile in return before going over to sit in front of his father. “You don’t think you would get rid of me that easily. I’m here to stay.” “Hm I remembered you said those exact words to me a decade ago.” His father gave him a smug smile. “Look where that got us.” “I’m changed now, Dad.” Saying those words to Alec Ba

Chapter 35: conditions .“I haven’t mentioned anything about breaking up with your girlfriend.” His father replied him.Archibald shrugged. “You will at some point so I have to get prepared.”“Any reason as to why I’m here?.” Alan finally spoke up. “Other than being a punching bag for the spiteful words you keep throwing at me?.”“You deserve the spiteful words.” Alec Bancroft retorted before sighing. “I brought you two here because I need the two of you to work together.”Archie scrunched up his nose in disinterest. “No need, dad. I can handle this company by myself, I did it before and I can do it again.”“Oh please.” Alan scoffed resting his chin on his hands. “You can’t keep living on past glory days.”“Those past glory days are still better than now. If you have any sense left, you would check the company reports and notice that the most times the stock rose was when I was in power. I did that!.” Archibald bragged back. “You wouldn’t know

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire .Chapter 36: Altercations .Isabella stood at the entrance of the unit she worked in. She stared at in confusion at her now empty space wondering what was going on.Were her greatest fears finally true? Had she been laid off without any information beforehand? What was going on? Just as she started to regain her concentration, her department head approached her with a serious expression. “Isabella, the CEO wants to see you," he informed her quietly, his voice tinged with concern.Isabella's heart skipped a beat. She knew exactly who the CEO was—Alan's grandfather. The man had always carried an air of authority and formality that made her nervous. She nodded silently before making her way to the CEO's office.Maybe he had an answer to all this. Perhaps he decided that she was not good for Archibald? And decided to lay her off? She wouldn’t be too surprised if that happens. The Bancroft family were just unpredictable.Example was Archibald f

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 37: reprimand . Chantelle glares at Alan attending to Isabella out of hatred. She finally grabs him by his suit so he can face her instead. “Alan!!.” “What?.!” He snaps back at her as she becomes surprised. Apparently everyone in the unit are surprised as well as some of them drop what work they are doing while others pretend they are actually working under the guise of watching the couple fight. “Why are you yelling at me? I didn’t do anything wrong.” Chantelle immediately responds back bringing out the teary eyes hoping it would work on him. Isabella scoffed obviously not buying her sister’s attitude. “You walked into this office without permission, obviously, you ran past the guards to have done that because you weren’t allowed to be in here in this first place.” “Because you put that rule here.” Chantelle fires back at her before turning to Alan. “Can’t you believe that? She’s only started working in your unit but yet the m

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire .Chapter 38: Allegations .Three days. It’s been three days since Archibald decided to come back to corporate life and so far he’s been hating it. Everyday he’s reminded of the reason why he left.Although the only time he’s ever delighted is when he gets to have lunch with Isabella. Been in a fake relationship with her has been the best decision he has ever made.And also questionable decision too because he still hasn’t spoken to Lisa since that abrupt kiss. Throughout the morning Archibald constantly checks his phone to see if Isabella has texted him already, and when she finally does – saying that she was on a lunch break– Archibald breathes a sigh of relief. He quickly texts Isabella about how tired he is and that he can’t wait to see her immediately. Shortly before 1:00 pm, Hector comes in and asks Archibald if he wants to grab lunch together so that they could chat a little. Archibald wants to refuse but he decides he can spare a few m

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 39: Fuel to the fire . “Archibald?” Jerking his head upright, Archie stares right in Nathaniel’s blue eyes. Unable to form any coherent thoughts, he looks back at the tablet; his head spinning. Someone was eavesdropping on them… a guest, most possibly, or even one of the waiters. Whoever it was, they snitched them out to all of these blogs – the same social media blogs that Archibald has filed countless lawsuits against for spreading misinformation about him and this company. “Call the company’s lawyer and also inform Lisa too,” Archibald eventually croaks out. “I want them in my office in one hour. By then, I expect to have a full list of all the waiters and guests who were sitting close to us yesterday. I’m going to sue their fucking asses off.” “So… it’s true?” Swallowing thickly, Archibald looks up at him. “I had already informed the guests at the company party last week, I just didn’t extend the news to everybody in th

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 40: Help . “Most likely,” Hector says. “Also, I’m sure the board of directors will convene a crisis meeting in the next couple of hours. Considering the public backlash, it’s only a matter of time until the stock price drops significantly.” Once again, Alan feels bad for a second, but he quickly reminds himself that all of this is necessary and – in the long run – for his own best. To not make himself look guilty, Alan decides to call his uncle, but the line is busy. He wonders who Archibald is speaking to at the moment… Isabella? His grand father? Some members of the board? Alan wished he could be there and hear what they’re saying. That reminds him… “Hey, about that virus… you deactivated it, right?” “Naturally,” Hector says. “Archibald won’t be able to find the remnants of it unless he actively looks for it, which I doubt he’ll do without any proper reason. And even if he finds the virus, he will never be able to lin
