After Divorce, I Married The CEO 206
Chapter 206“Have you heard from Jane yet, darling?" Trevor asked Lillian through his car window as he drove out of the garage. “Not yet. I called her twice but she didn't answer so I guessed they're just too busy with sorting the situation out. You know today's the deadline," Lillian responded with a hint of sadness.“Yeah, I do. Don't stress yourself too much about it alright? But try to contact her to at least assure her that everything will be fine. She may need your support more than she thinks." Lillian smiled at him softly. “How am I so lucky to have a man like you?" “I could ask myself the same," Trevor chuckled. “Don't forget to update me when you speak to her, and I hope you'll be dressed and ready for our movie date tonight. Wear something sexy,” he added with a wink.“Trust me, I don't need to be told twice,” she replied and they laughed. Trevor blew her a kiss which she pretended to catch and place in her heart before watching him drive off. Trevor drove towards the

Chapter 205By the morning of the third day, the atmosphere was charged with tension. It was the day that they were to report back to Xavier with 900 million dollars as agreed but all they had been able to pull together was $650m. Caleb felt he was caught between the devil and the deep blue sea because all the choices they had at that moment may put his son's life at risk.He was banking on the success of Bianca's idea and the hope that Xavier felt compelled to act on it quickly.Every passing minute gnawed at him while he waited for a call from Ross. He couldn't sit still for more than twenty minutes because it made him feel like he was wasting time doing nothing while his son's life was in danger.Jane, on the other hand, sat quietly though anxiously at a corner of his office, whispering prayers to whoever cared to listen and hoping desperately that their little gamble turned out for the best.Finally, Caleb's cellphone rang and he literally sprang up to answer it. Jane rushed ove

Chapter 204“What the… Bianca, what are you doing here?!” Caleb glowered.“I've been blowing up your phone since morning and you've been deliberately ignoring me so I decided to come myself. And, oh, you owe me a refund of my plane tickets. I flew business class.”"Bianca!” Caleb called again. "What are you doing here?”"Is she the…” Jane finally spoke, looking from Caleb to Bianca. “Have you two been talking?" “For over a year, yeah," Bianca responded. “You look gorgeous by the way. That blue looks absolutely great on you! Is that the Cartier juste in clou necklace?!” Bianca gasped, clearly oblivious of the rage simmering under Jane's skin.Rather than respond to Bianca, she gave Caleb a disgusted look and stormed inside the house.“Jane, hold on," Caleb called after her but she had already disappeared through the door. He turned to Bianca and gave her a warning glare.“What?" Bianca asked with open arms."You…” that was the only word Caleb could let out before he turned and went a

Chapter 203While Jane was still lost in her thoughts, Caleb was walking from one end to another, also wondering.“I don't trust her," he said all of a sudden and Jane's head snapped up to him.“What?" “I don't know if we should trust Abigail. Everything's been so suspicious and coincidental lately. I mean… she appears after these years, and so does Marcus and Xavier and of all people to model for, it's you. I don't know it's just…” Caleb shook his head."Well I'm pretty sure Abigail has nothing to do with them escaping. She hasn't even heard from him since then.”"But you can't be so sure, can you?”Jane opened her mouth to respond but the knock on the door cut her off. Caleb shook his head and resumed his position at the edge of his desk while Jane went to the open the door.“Hey," she said with a small smile.“Jane, it's so relieving to see you ag—" Abigail stopped halfway when her eyes met Caleb. His sharp gaze was enough to cut out the oxygen from her lungs for a few seconds.“

Chapter 202By the second day, both Jane and Caleb were a little more relaxed and more hopeful. The previous day, they had been able to raise a hundred and fifty million dollars, and after the news of what was going on got to Rose, she reached out to a few friends who raised an extra seventy million before midnight. Caleb was not quite comfortable that she had called on people to make donations but he was grateful that they could without being told what was going on in detail. “Alright, I'll see you at the office,” Jane told Caleb that morning and planted a soft kiss on his cheek before leaving the room. The Judge had easily approved the plea for Talia to stay with Rose for a brief period, thanks to Ross and Jane decided to go along with the driver to make sure Talia got there without any drama. Having one child taken away from her was traumatizing enough. She wasn't going to take any risk. He finished dressing up and went downstairs to see Lillian and Trevor having their breakfas

Chapter 201After a few seconds of staring at the completely blank screen, Rodriguez cleared his throat and broke the silence.“Well that was not very…”"Call him again,” Jane interrupted, not quite sure what the negotiator was about to say. Her voice was thin but held so much urgency and with the way Caleb quickly began to tap his screen to call Xavier back, she knew they both thought the same thing: if they didn't speak with Xavier before their deadline elapsed, things could go really sour.Thankfully, Xavier answered again and his sneering face filled the screen.“What the hell do you want now, Caleb?!" “Just calm down for a second and hear us out, Uncle!" Caleb fired back, his fist banging against the table as well. Rather than respond immediately, Xavier moved away from the camera for a second and then returned with his massive hand clamped over Toby's mouth.“Toby!" Jane and Caleb screamed out simultaneously, both springing to their feet. Jane's blood ran cold and tears prick
