All Chapters of The CEO’s Unexpected Ties : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

My mother had always been an advocate of a clear headed thought. I wouldn’t admit it but the path I had taken, seemed like lost one. The words of the elders burned in my mind, a constant reminder of constant disbelief in my ruling.“You can’t find him” an elder snickered the moment he heard of my intensions. They wouldn’t say it but they all wished they could have a chance on the throne. The price of power was steep, I only wished I could have my family back.The cold wind bristled, its icy chill cutting through my thick fur coat. “This can’t be right.” I hissed in frustration. I have been wandering through valleys and mountains hoping to find the priestess Zayra. She was my first act at redemption. I am hoping to prove those elders wrong.My breath hitched as I stumbled towards a cave. The map had pointed here “X”. “Courage Elara. Courage” I muttered the words like a mantra. My fingers grab the tilt of my silver dagger, my eyes scanning around in a slight panic.“Babakuuye.” A name t

Elara!” Mason yelled, his hand pulling me back with great force. “Don’t listen to them. They will drag you down.” He hissed, pulling me further away from the edge.“My family.” I cried, my eyes stuck on my mother.“They aren’t real. Trust me.” Mason muttered.The weight of their words weighed heavily on my logic. “I can’t leave them like this. I won’t.” I cried.“You should start getting used to it. You can’t save them and if you try, we are as good as dead,” he screamed throwing his hand in frustration.The compass pulsed, its arrow pointing to the dagger in the sheath. Zayra’s words flowed into my mind, “blood opens all that has been sealed.”Taking a slow breath, I placed my finger against the blade of the dagger, my face twisting in pain at the familiar sting. “I’m sorry,” I whispered to my mother. The river roared violently, screams of souls filled the air. Mason grabbed my hand, pulling me through the icy cold water.“Just don’t stare at them.” He advised, walking through the wa

Isabella's POVI exited Lucas's office, the chilly air of the hallway wrapping around me like a cloak. The meeting with Lucas remained in my thoughts, the feelings intense and unresolved. While I walked, my mind started to clear, directing my attention toward the task before me. I had to talk with Kendall to plan our upcoming step. The entrance to her office stood before me, and I swung it open with a feeling of resolve. I flung the door to Kendall's office open and slammed it shut behind me. Kendall looked up immediately and I could see surprise in her eyes. "What is the problem Isabella?" she asked with so much concern in her voice. I took a deep breath to calm myself down before responding to her. "It's Lucas," I asserted, my voice trembling with rage. "He keeps backing Audrey, no matter what we do." Kendall's face showed uncertainty. "What are you trying to say with that?" she inquired. I walked anxiously in front of her desk, my mind swirling with ideas. "We’ve made every

Lucas POV A powerful silence held my body as Isabella brought her lips to mine. The instant stretched for what seemed like forever. Her eyes ignited with emotion which had never appeared in my presence yet those flames failed to fuel my passion as before.What was she doing here? She sought to seduce me for an unknown reason. A sensation of guilt overwhelmed me when I saw my lack of feeling toward her. Audrey has captured my heart so it no longer belonged to anyone else.Isabella spoke with husky tones when she noticed I kept staring at her for a long period. Is there anything happening inside your thoughts? Tell me now. Speak to me. We are here alone, you know . We have been together but right now, the way you are behaving is making me sad right now.Guilt surged inside me as I made an eye contact with her. I realized at that moment that she was not being handled with proper respect. The guilt was killing me because I had been unfaithful yet I refused to admit it to my girlfriend.I

Kendall's POVWith determination to learn more about Audrey I silently entered Lucas's office. I searched through the files on his desk after reaching his office in a quick manner.The information search led me right away to a document-filled folder about Audrey. I examined the documents inside the folder. Audrey's address together with her work details and contact number occupied this folder.With haste I retrieved my phone to call Isabella right then. She answered immediately after picking up the call.Did you discover anything Kendall? she asked, her voice eager.I told her I had found numerous things during my investigation. I told her about Audrey's current address alongside her contact information and work details.Determination filled Isabella's speech as she spoke to me. "What's the address?"After reading the street address to her I heard her provide the details back to me."Okay, got it," she said. "What about her phone number?"I reported the phone number to Isabella who ve
