MATTHEW

“Hey, Zara,” I said with a smile on my lips. I watched her stare at me from head to toe. Like she was trying to think of her next move.

“No,” she said, and dropped the documents on the table close to her. “I won't work with him.”

Gabriel places his hands on her shoulder, and something in me stirred. He might be old, and not her type. But I don't like the idea of him holding her, or anyone for that matter.

I walked towards her, but she he stepped back like I was poison.

I should’ve expected it.

“No,” she said, voice sharp, hands clenched. “I won’t work with him.”

My jaw tightened. I knew this wouldn’t be easy. She wasn’t the same girl I once knew. She was harder now. Sharper. And I was part of the reason why.

Gabriel gently placed his hand on her shoulder. The way her body stiffened, I knew she didn’t like it, but she didn’t push him away either. Something twisted inside me.

He spoke calmly, “I understand why you’d say that. But if you want our shares, and want your voice to co

  • Billionaire's Rekindling Love   100!Taking Back Control!

    ZARAI sat on the hospital bed, listening to every instruction the Doctors were giving to me, answering each of their questions as best as I could. I couldn't help but wonder if this would happen to my baby or Lisa's baby too. Why does this world have to be filled with people who think using evil is the only way to get on top.“Are you listening to me, Ms. Taylor?” I heard the Doctor's voice and it brought me back to reality.“Uhm, Zara, please and yes…. I'm listening,” I said and she nodded. “Why do I need to say yes whenever you ask a question?”She looked at her fellow Doctor and sighed. “Don't worry I can take it, just tell me,” I said to them.“Control was taken away from you tonight and…”“No, no, I wasn't r*p*. I was just roughed around,” I cut her off.“You were assaulted, Zara, and it would have been worse if your friends didn't get to you on time,” the Doctor said and I gasped.“You think he would have gone further,” I held the helm of my dress, struggling to breathe ... .f

  • Billionaire's Rekindling Love   99!She Said You’d Fight!

    ZARAI continued to struggle with him as these words kept replaying in my head.And then it hit me, sharp and clear, Monica.This wasn’t random. He wasn’t just some stranger at the bar. Monica had sent him. Send him to teach me a lesson.My stomach dropped, fear crashing over me like a wave.I struggled harder, kicking at his leg, twisting my wrists, anything to get free. “Let me go!” I screamed, but the music from the club drowned out my voice.He smirked, his breath hot against my cheek. “She said you’d fight.”And in that moment, I knew, this night was never about tequila, or beer, or even proving something to myself.It was a setup. And I walked straight into it. The world tilted, my vision blurring at the edges. My head felt heavy, and my legs turned weak. His grip on me was too tight, cutting into my skin, and every breath I took came out shallow.Dark spots danced in front of my eyes. I was about to pass out.But then, through the pounding music and the ringing in my ears, I

  • Billionaire's Rekindling Love   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

  • Billionaire's Rekindling Love   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

  • Billionaire's Rekindling Love   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

  • Billionaire's Rekindling Love   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
