CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

Once we were in the car, Bryan started acting as our tour guide. Our first stop was the zoo. Bella’s eyes lit up as we walked around, looking at the animals. She pointed at the monkeys and giggled as they swung from the trees. We spent like an hour there before moving on to our next stop.We decided to go to the cinema to watch a new cartoon that had just premiered. But as the movie went on, Bella ended up crying her eyes out because the female lead, which was her favorite, died. We spent about two hours there, and I started regretting bringing her to see it. Her crying drew a lot of attention, so I had to pull my hat lower to cover my face as I carried her out of the cinema."It’s okay, Bella," I whispered, holding her close as we walked out. "Your favorite character is still alive. That’s just a movie, not real life." It took a while, but I finally managed to calm her down.Next, we headed to a playground. Seeing Bella running around, laughing, and playing brought me so much joy. It

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

Seeing Lance with Bella made my heart pound heavily and without thinking, I rushed over to their sides, pulling Bella away from him.“Haven’t I told you not to talk to strangers? Didn’t your mommy tell you the same thing?” I snapped, my voice trembling with fear and anger.“I’m very sorry, Miss Ariel, but he said he knows you,” Bella stammered.“Anyone can say they know me. But how do you know they’re not lying?”“He showed me your pictures in a wedding gown with him. You looked different, but I definitely recognized you,” Bella whispered, her words sending a chill down my spine.I glanced at Lance who wink at me and I find it hard to believe that Lance still had my picture. Mamita assured me she burned everything that was connected to him, including our photos. I definitely made sure nothing was left that could tie me to him. And now, he has our wedding pictures?Arrgh...This is a headache.The name I used when I married Lance was Maya Hendrix, a fake identity I created after my pare

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

His tongue slid into my mouth gently exploring and caressing mine and for a fleeting moment, I allowed myself to get lost in the depth of his touch, forgetting everything that had happened between us—all the pain and heartache that I had gone through. I let myself be vulnerable, feeling the warmth of the man I once loved with all my heart.I was taken back to four years ago, to a time when I adored him deeply, when he was the only man that my heart beat for, the only man that looked good in my eyes.But as the kiss deepened, so did the memories of how he shattered my heart flashed through my mind and I remembered how he escorted Ashley out of his car, welcoming her in his home while leaving me in the rain, pretending as if I didn't exist. I remembered the heartbreaking pain that I went through when he divorced me and then my poor Bella…….No, I haven’t forgotten what he did to me! Fueled by the painful memories, I found the strength to push him away. My hands pressed against his ches

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

My phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts and I quickly dip my trembling hand into my pocket to pull out my phone. Seeing my mom’s picture flashing on the screen, I took a shaky breath before swiping to answer. Me: Hi Mom. Mom: Sweetheart, where are you? She asked in a sharp tone as if she already knew where I was. Me: I… I’m just… (My eyes darted around, desperate for an excuse) I’m out. Mom: Don’t even try lying to me! I just blocked a picture of you and Bella circulating online. How many times do I have to tell you to keep her out of public sight? Didn’t I make myself clear enough? Me: Mom, I was just trying to cheer her— Mom: Trying to what Maya? Don’t you understand the damage this could cause? People are already curious about who she is. The more they dig, the more mess we’re going to have to clean up. Me: I know, Mom, but after what you did to her— Mom: Enough! That’s not your job! That’s Mia’s responsibility, not yours. You’re wasting time when you should be focusin

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

The room remained silent again with the directors exchanging skeptical glances and I could almost hear their thoughts as their actions speak louder than their voices: Marcus Roderigo had decided to rest, but instead of passing the reins to Carlos Roderigo or another experienced director, he had chosen this little brat. But they were mistaken, I’m not anyone's little brat. What they didn’t realize was that I had been trained during my five years in Italy. I had learned everything about running this empire, and the last thing I would do was beg for their acceptance. I will prove myself. Carlos leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled as he spoke. “ But it seems that you are mistaken about one thing Ariel. This isn’t just any meeting. This is a shareholders’ meeting and we’re here to discuss your removal.” “Removal, Uncle?” I repeated, allowing a faint smile to tug at the corners of my lips. “Wow, that sounds... conniving.” “ What?!” There was a loud murmuring in the room. “Wel

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

I breathed heavily, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it might burst from my chest. My legs ache and sweat trickled down my back, sticking my shirt to my skin. I had never climbed a hill before, let alone one this steep but I had no choice as Mrs. Brooks lived up here, and I needed to see her. Regret hit me hard as I glanced down at my high heels. What exactly was I thinking to even wear this? No, this is obviously not my fault. That stupid secretary of mine never mentioned anything about her living in the mountains or any climbing when he told me where to find her. "Of all the places in the world, why did she have to live here?" I muttered angrily, bending down to yank off my heels. My feet throbbed as they met the rocky ground, but I didn’t care. Barefoot was better than breaking my ankles in those shoes. After what felt like hours; though it was probably just forty minutes later—my throat was parched and my mouth was now dry as sandpaper. I could even hear my legs scre

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

Getting outside Mrs Brooks house, I whirled around to face him. “Are you working with my uncle to get back at me?” He raised an eyebrow. “Working with your uncle? Really, Maya? You of all people should know me better than that. Sweetheart, I don’t work with people who think they can boss me around. I’m my own boss. Always have been.” “ Have told you several times, to stop calling me that. You can say that to your wife at home not me.” I warned, running my hand through my long wavy hair. I hated that he was right as I know that Lance was many things—arrogant, infuriating—but he wasn’t anyone’s lackey. He will never bow for anyone, so I doubt he was trying to get the land for my uncle. I don't even care about why he is getting it but what I’m angry about is that it was him of all people. “Then what do you want?” I snapped, crossing my arm on my chest. He leaned against the porch railing, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “Simple. I want you to approve my contract.” I stared at him

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

~~KINGLSEY'S POV~~ As I stepped out of the car and entered the company's glass doors, the usual routine greeted me: people bowing their heads slightly in deference. But my attention was totally elsewhere as a fire of rage was already burning within me. With one hand in my pocket and the other clutching my iPad, my gaze was fixed on a picture that made my blood boil. Right now, I was seeing the image of Maya kissing the very man who had torn her clothes at the party last time—her ex-husband. I knew that guy seemed familiar when I first saw him at the party, but I wasn’t able to recognize him immediately because of how tense thing we're at that moment. It was after the party that I checked his picture again and remembered that he was Maya's ex-husband. My grip tightened on the device as I stared at the two of them together, with the guy's hand all over her. Seeing them together makes me angry as I had thought Maya had cut all ties with him after everything that he had done to h

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

As soon as my car stopped, Maya emerged from her vehicle, walking towards mine. She wore a turquoise blue long gown that hugged her curves, her long wavy dark brown hair flowing behind her as she moved with a sensual grace. She looked quite stunning, especially her long wavy hair. Back then, Maya used to have a short, shoulder-length cut with bangs as she always claim she didn't have time to maintain long hair and I was very surprised when she told me she was growing it out three years ago.. As Almond saw her approaching, he quickly got out and opened the door for her. “ Thanks.” Maya slid in and the car zoomed off again. As she adjusted in her seat, I arched my brow at her, silently asking why her car was parked on the side of road with her secretary standing like a statue. Noticing my expression, Maya answered, "Seriously? Can you just stop looking at me like that? I just thought it would be nice if we arrived together. That's why I stopped here, waiting for you." "

CHAPTER THIRTY

I hesitated for a second looking at the handkerchief he stretched to me, then chuckled at his bold action. "Thanks," I said, taking the cloth from him. As I was drying my hands, he spoke up again. " Is that your fiancé? She looked beautiful in her wedding dress. Was it a love marriage? Because that's what's common this days." As I heard that, my hands stopped moving and my grip on the handkerchief tightened, my knuckles turning white. I knew what he was trying to say but the reason why he would Intentionally came her and try to provoke me with his presence here, was something I had no idea of. But seeing him like this, with the expression on his face, I did know one thing; the guy before me had no idea that I knew about his shitty past with the woman I was getting married to and just trying to get some shit out of me. But two can play at this game. I forced a smile onto my face. “Oh yeah, we've been in love since childhood and been stuck together for a while. Soulmates, yo
