Billionaire's Rekindling Love
Zara Taylor’s life crumbled when her father died, leaving her trapped in a loveless marriage with Ronnie Phillips, who only valued her business intellect. Betrayed by Ronnie’s affair with her stepsister, Zara fled the City, raising her IVF-conceived daughter, Hazel, alone.
Years later, Matthew Russell, her first love and the IVF donor, reappears with a ruthless proposition: marry him to reclaim her father’s stolen shares.
“Marry me, Zara. It’s the only way you get your father’s legacy back.”
“I’d rather burn in hell,” she spat.
“But you need me,” Matthew replied, his touch igniting desires she swore to bury.
Their alliance uncovers mysteries and conspiracies rooted in her father's death, all pointing to Caleb Ross, the man who orchestrated it. But Matthew has secrets of his own, shadows Zara’s determined to drag into the light.
Desire simmers between them, impossible to ignore. But will Zara surrender to the passion that’s always burned for him, or will betrayal consume them both?

Chapter: 98!Beers, Flame, and Betrayal!ZARAThree shots of tequila sat in front of us, flames dancing on top like little devils waiting to be swallowed. The bartender slid a plate of lime wedges and something damp to smother the fire before drinking.Lisa clapped her hands like a child. “Oh, this is going to be fun!”Vic leaned closer, grinning. “We have to do it together. On three.”I stared at the glasses, my stomach already tightening. Something about the blue flames made my chest heavy, like they were a warning sign. My gut whispered that this wasn’t just another wild night.Something is about to go terribly wrong, I thought.Vic counted us down, “One… two… three!”, and we blew out the fire before tipping the shots back.The burn was instant. Fire slid down my throat, sharp and raw, and I gasped, slamming the glass on the bar.“Agh,” I groaned, pressing my hand to my chest. “I should have stuck to beer.”Lisa laughed so loud heads turned, while Vic was already reaching for the second round.“No, no, beer is for frat bo

Chapter: 97!My Body Moved Freely!ZARALisa walked into my bedroom closet with her phone in her hands as I applied lipsticks on my lips.“Everything okay?” I asked her, trying to read her facial expressions through the mirror.“All good,” she quickly placed her phone in the back pocket of her jeans. “The sitter just texted that Annabel is asleep.”“That's a good thing right?” I asked her. “Yeah, it is,” she said and joined and brought her face closer to mine for me to place more lipgloss on her lips.“Your lips will be the first thing the men notice once we get into the club,” I said to her and she laughed.“Oh well, they have to notice something,” she said as Vic entered the closet with her high rise voice.“Okay, our Uber is outside on the porch. Who is ready to turn up?!”“Yeah, I know I am!” Lisa yelled, joining Vic.“Well, I know I'm not ready,” I said and they both laughed.“You say you are not but you chose to wear the most sexy top I have ever seen in my life and a jean that reveals all the hidden figures in

Chapter: 96! Already Seated!ZARA“So what are you proposing?” One of the board members asked. I smiled and took my seat at the edge of the table. With help, Vic from a chair to the front and she and Lisa sat beside.“Well, we just need one board member. Let's see who wins,” I said with a smirk looking at both Monica and Becca, who were giving me looks that could kill.“The board already voted,” Monica said. “Becca is the one taking the seat.”“All due respect Monica, your friend…”“Becca Phillips,” Becca cuts off the board member speaking.“My apologies Mrs. Philip, but you don't have anything to offer other than the shares of your late stepfather which aren't yours in the first place,” he continued.“Isn't that why we are going to find a way around it. Try to see if there's a way to pull it from her,” Becca pointed at me.“You mean the one who the shares actually belong to,” I said, looking at her.“The shares are only yours if you get married,” Becca said, angrily.“Well, if I get married to Matthew Russell he

Chapter: 95!The Wrong Decision Trying To Outsmart Me!ZARAThe sound of the helm of my heels echoed across my office as I tapped it against the floor. I was staring at the TV in front of me, but I wasn't listening to anything being said. All I could see was the movement of Monica's smug lips as she defamed my name and the work I have done for Zenith Law Firm.My eyes left her lips and it trailed down her neckline all the way down to her fingers. I stared at them and my breath hitched.“She's wearing it again,” I whispered as I looked intensely at the engagement ring on her finger. I know it's an engagement ring because it's the same she wore the first time she and Matthew were engaged.“Damnit!” I took the closest thing I could get my hands on and threw it across the room.“Oh my goodness!” Vic yelled as she ducked down to avoid the remote I threw from hitting her.“Are you hurt?” I asked, standing up. “No,” she said laughing and I gave a sign of relief. “Why are you throwing stuff though?”“She's wearing their engagement ring,” I poin

Chapter: 93!Pull Off!ZARAI could feel the restroom spinning all over me. I could hear the loud beat of my heart in my ears. Everything felt and sounded heightened and it looked like I was losing my mind. But I wasn't losing my mind. I was having a panic attack.I'm having a panic attack because I just saw the father of my child kissing my enemy and my ex-husband is right there in the room looking at me with his smug face.Using all of the energy inside of me I walked towards the basin and I poured water all over my face, washing away my makeup.I needed the water on my face, it's the only way I can calm down well, not the only way. I remembered the last time I had a panic attack Matthew was right there. That was the first time I had sex with him again after returning to the state. Thinking about what came over me that day was a waste of time. I just wanted to have another picture in my head. Not the picture of Ronnie's smug face. I wasn't thinking ahead of what the implications of that moment will do

Chapter: Chapter 188: Epilogue!~~Victor~~“Matthew! I'm right here.” As I said those words it felt like some sand particles were dropped into my throat.I kept walking deeper into the mall but I didn't see him, just some of his minions pointing guns at me from across the wall.“Well, well.” Matthew came out clapping his hands with a smirk on his face. It was taking everything in me not to run towards him and see if I could end this once and for all.But nope, I have to think of Madison and the kids.“Why are you doing this Mathew?” I asked him.He shrugged his shoulders and then stared at me. “How does it feel to be the lesser man right now?”“I don't understand you.” I said to him, trying not to jump out of my skin because of the weapons close to me.“Madison needs a bigger man and right that isn't you.” He said.“So you are the bigger man because you are holding a shopping mall hostage?” I asked him, sounding disgusted.He placed his two hands in front of him, “anything for a reunion with my girl and my boys.”“

Chapter: Chapter 187: Another Choice!~~Victor~~I stood in front of the giant window in my office. Marveling at the sight of the city from where I stood.This city has taken a lot from me. It has also given me plenty of reasons to keep on fighting.I took out my phone and opened it. My wallpaper showed Choice. Madison likes calling her Miranda.I know that's her name but I prefer, Choice. She makes me think of the different ways I will choose to protect my family even if it means giving my life for them.She looks so pretty in this picture and peaceful like she doesn't have any care in the world.“Turn on the TV!” Alex shot at me while he barged into my office.“Oh please, come in.” I said sarcastically.“Just turn on the TV!” He yelled“Okay.” I said softly. I turned on the TV and it was showing a mass shooting in a shopping mall.“Is this any of ours?” I asked him.“No, but Madison and the kids are in there.” He said.I felt numb and the whole world seemed to stop moving. The sound of the remote falling down brought me

Chapter: Chapter 185: Choice!~~Madison~~I froze as I felt water trail down my thighs. A gasp escaped my lips as I realized my water just broke. Panic swelled in my chest as the wetness clinged to my skin and I struggled to control my panic. “Vi–Victor.” I stammered, feeling the fear in my throat.“You are fine.” He said holding me. “Steven is outside, I will go get him.” He said, trying to leave.“No, no. Don't leave me alone.” I said to him. I held his arms.“Okay.” I took a sharp breath, taking in the pain hitting me every ten minutes and counting.“We are just going to the car.” He said.“I don't think I can!” I yelled at him, digging my fingers into his arms.“Yes, you can.” He said.Each step brought a sharp pain to my legs like I have ever felt before.It wasn't like this with Aiden and Caleb because it was a C-section.“We are almost to the door.” Victor said.“Go, get Steven.” I said to him.“Are you sure?” He asked, “it's just a few steps.”“Get him!” I yelled at him.

Chapter: Chapter 184: Pregnant!~~Madison~~It's been a few months since my step sister kidnapped me and held me hostage for ransom money.These last few months I have been trying to heal and also grow a human being inside of me.Finding out I was pregnant came out with mixed reactions. I was glad I got to give my boys a baby sibling but on the other hand I was scared another enemy will come after us or maybe Stephanie will break out of prison.Holding this picture of myself and Stephanie in my hands reminds me of when we were little. How we did not have any evil in our mind. All we wanted was for our parents to give us sweets and treasure.“Hey, you have been staring at that picture for a while.” I heard Victor's voice behind me.“I know.” I said, putting it back in the box. “My Mom gave it to me during the trial.” I said to him.“She shouldn't have done that.” He said, sternly.“I know, but it's okay.”“No, it's not.

Chapter: Chapter 183: Baby?!~~Victor~~I heard the door open and closed then I saw Renee walk towards me.She squatted the same way I did and placed her head on my shoulders.“When I found Madison. I thought she was going to be mean to me for having spent time with a dad that loved me. And I will be mean to her because she had our mom.” She said.“But even with all those thoughts in my head when I saw her it just flew away because she brings so much light out of her body. And maybe because her first reaction to seeing me was calling me mom.” We both laughed.She held my hands, “Madison is strong. With everything she has gone through. She is strong and capable of handling herself against that evil woman.”She scoffed, “I never understood why she still refers to Stephanie as her step sister but I see it now.” She said.“Why?” I asked her “Because she believes in love, you made her love. So you have to believe in her. Believe in her to survive.” She said.“Thanks Renee.” I said to her.“Don't just thank me. Get up

He has enough experience to do it right.Suddenly the vehicle stopped moving, the back of the vehicle opened and I was brought out.

It's funny how we are all friends now and we have Aurora to thank for that. She brought all of us together. That's my future wife.“What are you smiling about?” Grey asked me.“You better not be thinking about my sister in some certain way in front of me,” Martin said and we all laughed.I have asked all of them to be mine and Andre best men including Michael, Ryan and Clay. Liam insisted on being the DJ for the service. Right now we are having our bachelor party and having loads of fun. “Thank you for allowing Aurora to do this with Carina,” I said to Andre holding his shoulder.“Are you kidding, Carina will have my head if I don't agree, plus we get to give the world the wedding of the year,” he said and I smiled.“Good man,” I shook his hands and walked towards Grey. “Hey bro,” he turned around and placed his phone in his pocket.“Th

I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my blushing face.“Aubrey smirked, “Oh Aurora, you were so abstract about it. It feels like you have been bottling that emotion.”“Maybe I was.

We just need to protect Anna and Mary and we all will be safe.”“But your wedding…”“Can wait,” Andre said, standing beside her. “We all need to be together right now.” He took my hands and I nodded.“Okay,” I exhaled, wiping my face with my other hand. “Let's do this then.”“The girls are pulling up,” Aubrey said to me.
