Collateral Wife MAYBE IT'S TIME WE STOPPED RUNNING
CHAPTER 75 ZOILA'S POV It wasn't easy calming my mother down. They were really pissed and it took everything in them not to show it with Bella around. Apparently, Lorena had forgotten something really crucial; Bella is a blabbermouth and cannot keep a secret. She was not supposed to mention the fact that Lorena had started working at the Railings Corp as an intern. It was supposed to be a secret but somehow, Bella let it slip. I'd panicked when I received the phone call. Mom was really upset and worried. She couldn't understand why she had to go there of all the other places she could have gone. I was already leaving the station when I got the call so I drove directly to The Grand Hall. They had come up with an excuse to make Bella leave earlier than normal but I bumped into her on my way inside. "I messed up." She said. "I'm so sorry, I have no idea how it happened." "Bella, Lorena trusted you." I told her. "And I promise, I never wanted to break her trust but I was caught off
Collateral Wife MY NIGHTMARE CAME TO LIFE
CHAPTER 76 EVA'S POV I didn't want to be here, but I had to show up anyway. No one had to know that my life was falling apart so I wore a smile and came to this place even though I didn't want to. I had barely managed to stop Jon from beating Liam to a pulp. He was angry and was ready to disown and arrest him but thankfully, he didn't create a scene at the office. Lorena was able to calm him down, something I couldn't do. It angered me even more. Why did that woman have to show up again? Her face scared me. She reminded me of a past I desperately wanted to forget. Even though I tried to convince myself that she had no connection to the past, I couldn't shake the feeling that my life was about to change because of her. And so I had done something I hadn't done in years. I'd called my men from years ago, the ones I'd had keep an eye on the shepherds. I found out that Ariana had left her family for some reason and had returned to London. Was that a coincidence? Was it mere chance tha
Collateral Wife WHOSE DAUGHTER IS SHE?
CHAPTER 77ARIANA'S POVThis encounter was inevitable. I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later and I'd mentally prepared myself for it, but I didn't think it would happen in this way. As I stared into the face of the woman who had almost destroyed my life, I realized that nothing could ever prepare me for how I was going to feel.The memories of our past flooded my mind. It didn't help that I had forgotten about everything for years because of my amnesia. Now, it was so overwhelming and the pain was heart wrenching."I was right all along. It had to be you." She said after almost a minute of silence."Hello Eva. It's been ages.""What are you doing back here?""Why can't I be here?""Whatever it is you're planning, you better not even think about it. Don't forget your place Ariana.""My place? Who gets to decide where my place is? Look, I'm just here trying to live my life and pick up the pieces. I have no business with the past because I've moved on and I suggest you do the sam

CHAPTER 78ANDREW'S POV"Will you just smile a little André? We're not going to a funeral." Aunt Maria said. She sat beside me in the car as Alfredo drove us to the Sanchez mansion. "We both know dinner isn't going to end well, it never does.""Well it might this time. You haven't seen him in quite a while.""I've been busy Auntie. The company is thriving just as he wanted so it probably doesn't matter to him if she sees me or not. This dinner was mum's idea I'm sure.""Does it still upset you that he doesn't show his love? You said you were over it and you didn't care anymore.""Of course, I don't care at all." I replied.She chuckled and patted me on the back. "You don't have to pretend to be okay with it. Talk things out with him today. I'm sure he misses you too, you used to be so close."I found it hard to believe what she said even if I wanted to. My father stopped caring about me years ago when I decided I wouldn't follow in his footsteps. He stopped seeing me as a son and mad
Collateral Wife SHE CAN'T TAKE EVERYTHING FROM ME!
CHAPTER 79EVAS POV.It was a miracle I got home safely. I hadn't gone with a driver and despite the complete chaos in my mind, I drove myself back home without running into anyone or anything.I sensed it, I couldn't explain what I'd felt but I just had about feeling that something big was going to happen. I felt like that whenever I saw Lorena. Something about her just triggered me and now I knew what it was.My palm was sore now because I had hit the steering wheel several times on my drive home. She was my husband's daughter. She had Railings blood flowing through her and for some reason, my husband favored her even without knowing who she was.What if the truth about her identity came out? Jonathan would accept her without batting an eyelid. My entire world would crumble in the twinkling of an eye.I hadn't been too concerned about Liam's nonchalance towards the company because I knew he was the only heir. No matter what Jonathan said, he wouldn't be able to rid his own son of e
Collateral Wife I'LL HAVE TO ENDURE THIS
CHAPTER 80LORENA'S POVComing here was awkward. After the confrontation my mother had with Eva, she made it mandatory to be at the office everyday when she never used to do that. I knew what she was doing. She was trying to keep an eye on me and to intimidate me but I had no reason to be scared of her.My mother told me everything that happened at that event when the both of them had met. I never wanted any of them to find out but I guess fate had its own part to play in all this. Liam's behavior had changed towards me too. Obviously, his mother had told him I was his step-sister. That, I was happy about because I had been experiencing his legendary womanizing and it was becoming sickening having my brother hit on me. I couldn't stand the envious stares I got from the other female employees either. I guess they saw me as a threat and had started to be insecure.I got out of my car and took a deep breath before entering into the building, ready to face the day's drama.We were planni
Collateral Wife SHE'S MY DAUGHTER, I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG
CHAPTER 81JONATHAN'S POVSomething was up. My wife had been acting really strange lately and I had no idea why. She didn't really bother to be personally involved in the company's affairs but did more of directing and overseeing until recently.She started to be more physically present at the office and did not miss a board meeting, a project or anything that had to do with work. At first, I thought she was trying to keep an eye on Liam because of my recent threat. I guessed it was her way of making sure Liam didn't mess up anymore and it seemed to be working, but I noticed something else.She hung around Lorena a little too much. It wasn't just me, Elon noticed it too.What was going on in her head? Did she really think I was having an affair with her simply because she looked like my first love? Was her presence here only to keep an eye on her?I was in a tricky position. I couldn't tell Eva off because it would seem like I was trying to protect Lorena, or that I was trying to defe
Collateral Wife THE PLAN
CHAPTER 82LEONORA'S POV"No! She can't leave, not right now!" I yelled when my mother wouldn't listen to reason."Did you not hear anything I've said? Jonathan Railings was here! Your father was here and he knows we have a child together. It's only a matter of time before he finds out about you too and everything we've done up until this moment will all be for nothing!"No. This couldn't be happening. I wanted to see my father too, I wanted to be acknowledged as his daughter and maybe get to know him a little but I had to keep my feelings aside and focus on solving this case Involving many innocent women and teens. It would be too risky to watch Liam without Lorena there. She was the only chance we had at getting information on the connection between him and Diego Santos. I could only watch from a distance and we couldn't go up to him without concrete evidence. We didn't want him to know we were on to him either, so talking to him ourselves wasn't an option."Please, let's all be ca
