Bella expression garnished in mischief as she spun the bottle, her glare stuck on Caro. Like she was the reason she brought these all up.But perhaps she was the reason!The bottle rolled and turned fast across the table, making soft clinking sounds before slowing down. Everyone leaned closer, eyes focused on it, and then the bottle stopped, pointing at a girl sitting right beside Caro. Caro gasped. Not because she was afraid but she wasn't immidiately ready to be the first yet.“Ohhh, nice one,” Gracias said quickly, unsatisfying look masked all over her smirk. Like it wasn't who she actually expected right now. “Now tell us, who’s that secret admirer you’ve been dying to crush on? If he's here, maybe you can win him today”Everyone chuckled.The girl blushed and giggled. “ the owner of M&C telecommunications. Mr. Davis,” she said smiling, shying away her face.The table went wild with laughter and small screams. “Of course, who else?” one of the girls shouted.Caro’s glare flicked
“Davis owes me an explanation for this entire scenario...”Caro’s words clouding in her mind, biting deep. Sadness and confusion, drowned every trace of her expectations.Beside her, a lady gnawed her lip, card flipped open in her hand. “I should be the lucky one,” she muttered.“Hmm... no, no... sorry.” Bella chuckled, joy spreading across her face as she turned to Alex, flashing her card. “Do you think I stand a chance?”But silence was an answer to her question, Alex wasn’t paying any attention, rather his eyes were fixed on the stage, locked on Davis, his jaw tightening. “Have I met him before?” he murmured.The room hummed with chatter and cheer as models revealed their cards one after another, waiting for the final announcement.“The lucky winner is...” Mr. Samson paused on air, his gaze sweeping across the raised cards, until it stopped on Caro’s. At that same moment, Davis flipped his card open too, as if their timing were planned, as if they were set on a time bomb.Phew!The
Caro gritted her teeth as she heard Alex’s words that he whispered into her ears. She smiled and faced him. “Oh thanks for complimenting my beauty,” she said out loud. Bella and the other girls sitting with her raised their heads and Bella frowned at Alex who straightened up and was about to move away, but Caro held his hand in a hand shake. “I heard you both got remarried, I hope you are happy?” Caro asked, wearing the sweetest smile. Bella gritted her teeth, while Alex pulled his hand off Caro’s grip and said, “Yes, we are very happy? Right baby?” he asked Bella. She faked a smile and nodded. “Of course, I am.” Caro rolled her eyes as she got up. She wasn’t ready to sit beside Bella, so she was going to go look for Samantha and ask that they look for another seat. As she got up, the models beside her gasped. “Her dress is so pretty, oh my gosh,” they commented. Other guests turned and noticed, and they pointed at Caro as she raised her chin and walked elegantly. Bella was so jea
“Yes, Davis.” Caro said as she took the flower from him. Davis smiled widely as he stood up, wrapped his arms under her butt as he twirled around with her. “Yess,” he yelled and then he stopped, raised her head and took her lips in a heated kiss. Caro ran her hand through his hair as she deepened the kiss. “I love you,” he said as he parted.“I love you too,” she said, gasping for air.He dropped her and took her hand as he left her at the table. “I figured my baby must be hungry, do you like seafood?”Caro was almost speechless with joy, but she nodded, saying, “I love seafood. cool blues, under moonlight dinner dates. What more could I ask for, Davis?”He smirked, “There are more where this came from.” He served Caro and then himself then they started to eat. Right after eating, they sipped their wine and he shifted his chair close to hers and pecked her cheek. “Do you want some Karaoke?" he asked. She shook her head. “No, I just want to spend more time with you, baby.” She said,
Alex stumbled back from Caro’s cyber truck, Caro giggled as she opened the door and climbed in, she was about to drive off when Alex raised a hand, she paused, rolled down her side glass and stared at him with a raised brow. “Erm– I have very little cash on me now. Would you mind dropping by my home, you could see Henry from there, I know you miss him,” he said grinning. Caro sighed as she nodded. “I do miss him, he is my son.” Alex nodded, smiling over Caro’s acceptance.“I see you are still as submissive as ever, that was how I knew you were the best Mum for Henry,” he said as he tried to go over to the other side of the car to get in. “It’s locked,” he said as he tried opening the door.Caro scoffed at him. “Who said I was letting you into my car?” She asked. “I wouldn’t want to stain it with your greed, Alex. Find a way to go meet your ex wife at home, you could walk all the way for all I care,” she spat at him and drove out of the parking lot. It was getting late when she left
“Yes, darling. I own shares in this company and I am open to cancelling whatever deal you had just made with the CEO,” Alex added with a smug look on his face. Bella nodded, loving how everything was going and Alex’s new found confidence. Caro burst out into laughter as she threw her head back slightly. Then she shook her head at Alex, clicking her tongue. “Oh poor Alex,” she cooed. “Aren’t you flying too high? This crash might break your ego.”“Keep quiet–” Bella was saying when Caro raised her hand and stopped her. “Don’t be too loud, bitch. You might stain my dress with your disgusting saliva. It’s worth more than your family’s entire networth,” Caro said as she dusted her dress. Bella’s face twitched in anger after Caro’s words, she was about to lunge forward, when Alex grabbed her waist stopping her. “Don’t, I will put her in her place,” Alex said. Bella shoved him off and slapped him hard across the cheeks. “Don’t you ever touch my waist again, and you better put her in her p
