CHAPTER 85LORENA'S POVAnother day to smile and pretend like everything was alright when in fact, it wasn't. This was the perfect description for my workplace now- a place for fake smiles and awkward encounters. It was bad before but with the truth known to everyone involved, it became worse. I needed no soothsayer to tell me that it would be really awkward at the office today.I hoped Mr Railings wouldn't show up today. I prayed for an urgent, important meeting that would take him out of town, or better still, out of the country. But my prayers weren't answered.Guess who I ran into in the elevator? Yea, you guessed right. Of all the people I could've shared the elevator with, it had to be my father. The silence was loud, too loud, and I was getting tired of facing one direction -the direction where he wouldn't be in my view. My neck was starting to hurt. I shut my eyes and wished we would get to our floor faster. Why was I not quick enough to find another elevator when I'd seen th

CHAPTER 86JONATHAN'S POVTime had never been this slow. Usually, I wished there were more than twenty-four hours in a day because the time just wasn't enough to accomplish everything I wanted to but today, I wanted the hours to run by quickly. I couldn't concentrate on work, I was restless and all I did was watch the clock.I still hadn't processed everything I'd found out. Everything Eva did was still a shock to me. I blamed myself still, I should've been more thorough with my search. I shouldn't have given up until I found her. I let Eva win, she destroyed everything Ariana and I had.I was eager to talk to Lorena, my daughter. I had no idea if she would believe my explanations but I needed to talk to her. I wouldn't give up on her or Ariana this time around. I needed her forgiveness and I desperately wanted to be a part of Lorena's life.Eva's warning rang in my mind. I knew what was at stake here. Railings Corp was the largest Conglommerate in the country and I already had a repu

CHAPTER 87LEONORA'S POV"We were right about him. That Liam guy is a jerk." I told Keith and Devon as they walked into the office."You've been listening to him?" Devin asked, taking a seat next to me."Yes, and half the time, he's having hot steamy sex sessions with the secretary, the manager and some other ladies right there in his office. I've heard too much I'm traumatized.""Your step brother is quite the character." Dev whispered in my ear. "Well, did you hear anything useful besides moans and throes of passion?" He asked with a chuckle.I gave him a warning look and he raised his hands up in surrender, backing up away from me.""Well, did you find something?" Keith repeated.We were all anxious now. This case had been dragging on for too long and more girls were being killed and taken from their homes."Well I didn't hear anything regarding his connection with Diego but I did find out that he is stealing from the company.""What? He's stealing from his father? Why would he do
Collateral Wife WHAT DOES FATE HAVE IN STORE?
CHAPTER 88EVA'S POVI hadn't made dinner in a very long time. Jonathan hardly ever ate my food. He left for work very early and came back home really late so after a while of trying to meet up with his schedule and trying to make him warm up to me, I gave up. I gave up waiting up for him until he got home, gave up cooking his meals for him and hired a bunch of people to do those jobs.But today, I wanted to make a grand gesture for him. He needed to see that I had started to see things the way he did. I had to convince him that I had accepted his illegitimate daughter as his child too even though the family would never accept her.The dining was agog with a frenzy of activities. The maids were setting the table and arranging cutleries, some we're headed for the wine cellar to get us a wine I had selected for that evening.I head Jonathan's car pull to a stop outside the house and heard him open the door."I was beginning to think you wouldn't be back." I told him. He hadn't slept in
Collateral Wife THE PERFECT PLAN
CHAPTER 89LEONORA'S POVI was tense, not because of the plan - I had been on more dangerous missions than this and stopping a killer was no big deal. What got me really nervous was the fact that I would be meeting my father for the first time up close. Of course he wouldn't know it was me. I would be dressing like Lorena, speaking like her and becoming her just for today. It made me so nervous that I would be this vulnerable and he wouldn't even be able to see me.Lorena would not be the person attending the party tonight, it would be me. It was the only way to keep Lorena safe. We knew Eva's plans but we we did not know how it would be executed so we couldn't risk it. The two of us could not be at the venue either in case they wanted to hurt Lorena there so it was better that I go in her place. I had been learning to behave like my sister for a week. Learning how she spoke, what expressions she used and her mannerisms as well. It helped a lot that we were very identical so even if t
Collateral Wife THERE'S SOMETHING OFF ABOUT HER
CHAPTER 90EVA'S POVMy palms were sweaty. I might be cold hearted but I'd never actually killed anyone before. I could have done that to Ariana of I'd wanted to but I didn't want to have that on my conscience when she wasn't even worth it at the time. This was different, this was a big deal and I could lose everything if she didn't get out of the way.With my step brother doing everything he could to take all my parents had, Liam was my only shot at maintaining the wealth I was born into. My parents were conservative and had always believed that a woman could not run a company. No matter what I did, they never could see my capabilities and because my mother could not have any more children, he had a son with his mistress, a son that took everything from me simply because he was male. Sure, he was good at handling the business too which was why my father had him take over but I couldn't help but want him gone. He took everything from me, including what should have been mine from the b
Collateral Wife WELCOME TO THE FAMILY
CHAPTER 91LORENA'S POV.Today is going to be different, and by different I mean worse. After the announcement at the party last weekend, Monday morning was definitely going to have a new feel to it. Yes, you guessed it. My father announced me as his daughter to everyone present at the party. That included people at work, his friends which for the most part were also business tycoons like him. His board members were not exempted. The grandparents were out of the country and could not make it to the party but they had heard about it. It was literally everywhere, on the news, internet, everywhere!Fun fact, my grandparents had called a board meeting this morning and I had to attend. I wasn't ready for the judging and scrutiny but this couldn't be avoided. Besides, I didn't choose to be born a Railings. It was my parent's mistake, not mine and I wasn't about to go there to be treated like a piece of trash.I would be seeing Eva too. The woman who tried to kill me, well, my sister but t
Collateral Wife WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS
CHAPTER 92EVA'S POVThe glass collided with the wall and shattered to a thousand pieces on the floor. Liam stood there unmoving and red liquid stained his cheek where a piece had cut him. He winced but did not touch the cut. He did not say anything either.I had been vandalizing my living room since we got home. It was just the two of us. Jonathan had said his piece and had returned to his hotel, swearing never to return until we began discussion about our divorce. He was this close to disowning Liam but he decided it was best to stay away from him instead and strip him of every right he had to be a part of the company. He was being punished right now and he was not to show up at the Railings Corp until his anger was appeased. He was determined to divorce me though. The deal we had fell through. It was my fault for being overconfident. I thought Lorena would not survive the attack, I also thought the board of directors would stand by Liam who they had known for much longer. I knew
