Chapter 81

CoincidenceOnce inside the car, my heartbeat accelerated, and my thoughts wouldn’t stop contemplating what had just happened. I thought I could let it slide, but no. The more I tried to let it go, the more the thoughts kept surging in my heart.I thought the best thing to do was to investigate more on the issue. That would only take me back to the past I longed to forget and avoid. However, it would also enlighten me on the things I needed to know, to clear my doubts and suspicions.“Mummy,” Henry called out, tapping my hand.“Yes, cutie,” I replied, turning to face him.“Why did you hit him? I didn’t raise you to be a wrestler or a fighter,” I inquired, my voice much calmer now.His face turned serious, and he lowered his head, picking at his nails.“Mum, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again,” he answered, his tone and expression etched with sincerity.“Alright, promise me this won’t repeat itself again.”A moment of silence filled the space.“I promise, Mum,” he said, placing his hand

A hug with the pastShe always got to show herself now and then. The trance wasn't just relatable to my heart. I could burst at the slightest second, but I chose to remain poised and watch until whoever was in the vehicle stepped down.“What’s she doing here? Or is she also planning a wedding?” Evelyn asked, her face masked in confusion.“You remember her, right?” I asked, my eyes still fixed on the black tinted limousine.“Yes, of course. How could I have forgotten her in a hurry? I remember the day at the mall like it was yesterday,” her voice asserted.Our gaze remained fixed on the spot. Must he take ages to step out of the car? I wondered, already running out of patience. I didn’t know why I chose to unravel who she was involved with, but we remained unmoved, waiting decisively.“Oh, finally, there he goes,” Evelyn let out a sigh as our eyes widened in disbelief upon identifying the man.“What!” we exclaimed simultaneously, our voices in unison, our mouths parting in shock.“What

TerminationHarry’s POVI had just been informed that Evelyn was seen around this vicinity with someone who hadn't yet been identified. Taking my keys, I decided to drive to the venue, leaving Louis behind to sort out some things in the office while I was out.It was a cold evening when I stepped out of the car. The evening breeze blew through, sending shivers down my spine. My eyes strayed to every corner of the spot. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew deep down I was going to persuade her to tell me Celine’s whereabouts, her friend.If she could go to great lengths to hide her location, then I wasn’t certain what to expect other than to maintain a positive attitude. My eyes narrowed as I scanned the surroundings, but she wasn’t in sight. I doubted she was in the bridal shop, as I hadn’t been properly informed.What would she be doing in a bridal shop? The question popped into my head, and I decided to check, uncertainty sweeping through my heart like a tidal wave.Then I saw h

Shocking TurnsCeline's POVGoing through the files on the desk, I stumbled upon one labelled -Smithford Corporation. My heart quickened. This was supposed to be sorted out earlier, before the scheduled date of the meeting.“Ahh,” I muttered under my breath, pulling the file out of the pile. I had been so occupied with work that I forgot about the meeting.Flipping to the second page, what I saw blew me off my feet, my eyes widening in surprise. I couldn’t believe what had just happened: an alliance with -Harry Smith Companies?No, that can’t be true. To clear my curiosity, I flipped through the pages of the file and stumbled upon that signature, the one I could never forget, even in my dreams. The same signature that was on those divorce papers years ago.“How dare he? How could he think for a moment that he could form an alliance with my company after everything he’s done to me in the past? The company I built from scratch?” I yelled in frustration, banging the desk hard.“Ma, is ev

Shocking TruthHarry’s POVI had never participated in any attack except those of high importance and value to me. Evaluating the detrimental aspects of the termination, my rage surged even more than expected.I instructed the car to be parked in a more secluded area where I could neither be noticed nor traced back. The school had cameras all around.Soon she got out of the car after some delay. My brows furrowed even more. Her back was all I could see as she made her way towards the school entrance. The students were coming out in a rush, and soon a cute little boy approached her, hopping into her arms for a hug. My heart melted, but I was determined to exact my revenge on whoever was involved. The boy’s resemblance to me was questionable. Narrowing my gaze, I tried to evaluate my findings, but this time, his face was hidden by his mother’s arms.Just then, Larry fired the bullet. She turned, and what greeted my eyes swept me off my feet. My heart ached, beating faster than a drum."

Shredded HeartCeline's POV“What was he doing here?” I screamed in my heart when my gaze met his. He had no business appearing here. But how did he even know about the incident? It's obvious he has his eyes on me, and I would make sure to frustrate him.I leaned forward into Levi's embrace to send more shivers down his spine. He should feel half the pain of rejection that I felt many years ago. Truthfully, I hated him. Under his disgusting gut, he always found a way to interfere with my life.“How is he doing, and what really happened?” Evelyn asked after Harry had left.My heart was beating faster than I could imagine, my eyes dripping with pain.“You have to pull yourself together, girl, you need to be calm,” Evelyn consoled.I leaned forward in the embrace, praying that my son was fine. I didn’t even know where to start explaining what happened, but one thing was certain: whoever was after me would not like what was coming.I had grown past that level of intimidation. I don't know

Tension"Ma, take a look at these photos," Levi said, stretching the tablet in his hands toward me. My curiosity piqued, as did Evelyn’s, who leaned forward to take a look.I fixed my gaze on the footage, but it wasn’t clear enough for me to figure out anything."It seems this picture was captured from the faulty CCTV device. It isn’t clear enough," I expressed, letting out the frustration building up in my heart."Yeah, that’s true, but why would he send footage that isn’t clear?" Evelyn asked."I think he said they’re working on it to identify the culprits," Levi suggested."Alright, let me know promptly if there are any other developments.""Sure, Ma," Levi responded, burying his head in the tablet. As we were about to saunter into the mansion, something stirred in my heart—a new determination. Turning to Levi, I said,"Get another detective involved in this case. I need every bit of information about the incident," I instructed, then turned toward the door and entered."Mummy, wha

Unimaginable encounter Harry's POVWhy would Lily be with one of Jack’s men? I wandered around the living room, thousands of thoughts pouring into my heart over the past two days.

The black carCeline's pov "What do you mean, Inspector Martins?" I asked, a bit perplexed. It wasn't supposed to be this difficult to find those culprits, except for incompetence."Are you admitting your incompetence before me?" I asked, glaring at him, my gaze fixed on his."Not at all, madam. I just need a little time…""That word, 'little time,' is what I don't have now. I have other business to attend to. The earlier you sort this out, the faster the train moves," I snapped, already heading out."This isn't as easy as you think," he blurted out, frustrated."Then you're not qualified to be a professional," I snapped, sliding the elevator door shut after selecting my office floor number, ignoring his excuses. My patience was already wearing thin, and things needed to be sorted out. I couldn't just sweep this under the rug as though nothing happened, especially when my son would have been dead if not for heaven’s intervention.Once on the third floor, I signaled Levi."Any new dev

ExposedMy heart quickened at that moment. The message I had gotten earlier from an anonymous sender while in the car on the way here. At first, when I received the beep and slid to find the anonymous message, I had no interest whatsoever in what the person had to say. But right now, I suddenly had the urge to check the message as my heart raced."It may be of no interest to you, but I want you to properly investigate him.""who?" I snapped. But then, who could be sending a message like this, and why would the person say those words? That only fueled my suspicion, determination, and confusion."Madam, you've not been listening," the detective called back my attention, and I was also startled."I want you to properly investigate my ex for me, give me every bit of information about him," I ordered, my tone unreadable. But why him? I had no explanation, just the sudden urge. “Also I need information concerning Jack Liam.”"Alright, ma'am, I will do just that. But you know, every investig
