All Chapters of Broken to finding love: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Los Angeles. As the Banks couple were enjoying their happy life together, Ted, who had almost gone crazy looking for Jane, his ex-wife, stumbled into the living room, looking drunk. “Ted,” his little sister, Milly, who was sitting in the living room, called out to him, as she walked towards him, supporting his swaying self. “What the hell have you turned yourself to? For a month now, you have been coming home drunk. Are you losing it or what? Milly snapped at her brother, as she guided him to the couch. Ted collapsed onto the cushion, his eyes unfocused. Ted's mother, who heard the commotion, walked out of the lounge room where she was resting earlier. Seeing her son, looking wasted, she gritted her teeth as she walked to him. “What’s the meaning of all this Ted?” His mother's voice sounded as she walked up to them. Ted closed his tired eyes, pretending he was sleeping, not wanting to listen to his mother’s rants. “How did you want Ava to feel, seeing her future husband get

“Excuse me, but this dress is mine. I saw it before you, and I’m paying for it, sorry.” Lucy glared at the woman. She didn’t think people with this behavior were still roaming about. How would someone be snatching things in broad daylight? The woman's face turned red with anger, but she didn't back down. “I don't care if you saw it first,” she spat. “I want that dress, and I'm going to get it.” The woman was followed by two bodyguards. Seeing Lucy was being stubborn, she called out to them. “What are you standing there for? Strip her.” She commanded. Lucy and Jane were shocked at how arrogant this woman was. Jane felt something was not right. It’s not like they knew her from somewhere, why is it that they were the only ones she wanted to snatch their dress? It’s like there is history between this woman and Lucy, Jane thought. But on second thought, Lucy’s body language didn’t show she knew this woman. What was her agenda? “Are you crazy?” Lucy shouted as the bodyguards walked tow

“Welcome President Banks.” Mr Robert greeted Leonard with a small smile on his fat face, stretching his hand forward for a handshake. Leonard nodded curtly at Mr. Robert, his expression unreadable as he took his hand. “Please, let's get started. I'm sure we're all busy.” He took his seat at the head of the table, his team and lawyer following suit. Mr. Robert cleared his throat, his voice booming through the room. “Of course, Mr Banks. I appreciate your time. I'm sure you're aware of why I'm here today?” Leonard's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing. “I believe so, Mr. Robert. You're here to discuss the potential collaborations between our companies.” Mr. Robert smiled, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Exactly! I believe our companies would be a perfect fit, and I'm willing to make a very generous offer to make it happen.” Leonard leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together as he regarded Mr. Robert thoughtfully. “I'm listening,” he said, his voice neutr

Jane’s familiar figure flung her arms around Leonard's waist, pulling him into a tight hug. The warmth of his body enveloped her, and the subtle aroma of his cologne, a scent she had grown to associate with comfort and safety, wafted up, filling her lungs. Her eyes sparkled as she tilted her head back, her face alight with a bright smile. “Surprise!” she exclaimed, her voice bubbling over with excitement. Leonard, whose hand was still on the cold metal, holstered in his pants, froze abruptly, staring at Jane. His eyes widened, and his mouth hung open as he stood frozen, his gaze fixed on Jane. His face was a picture of stunned silence, his eyebrows arched in astonishment. Her familiar floral scent wafted into his nose, reminding him that the person in his embrace was real. Jane’s smile faltered, her eyes clouded with uncertainty as she misinterpreted Leonard’s stunned expression. She thought he was unhappy with her surprising him at work and her face fell. She tried to pull back, t

An hour later.Jane doesn't know how she made it home. After parking her black sedan, she walked into the room. “Miss, you are back. Madam would love to see you.” One of the servants at the Lockwood’s mansion happily walked up to the listless Jane. Seeing that Jane wasn’t in a good mood, the servant hurriedly made way for Jane as she walked into the living room.“Jane, you finally know how to check up on your family. You didn’t even come to check up on me, your mother after all this while. You haven’t gotten married yet and… Jane, what’s wrong with you?” Evelyn finally noticed her listless daughter.Jane raised her head. Seeing her mom, she rushed into her embrace. “Mom, she whispered, her voice barely audible over the sound of her ragged breathing. “I was wrong, I shouldn’t have made him feel insecure.” “Jane, what happened? Did you fight with Leonard? Ohh, my poor baby.” Evelyn soothed Jane’s back, just like she always did when she was a child. “It’s okay, everything will be fine.”
