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
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
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
CHAPTER 83JONATHAN'S POVI was fuming by the time I got in my car. It was a good thing Elon came with me because I wouldn't have been able to drive in that state. What kind of monster have I been living with? How far did she really go trying to come between Ariana and I? After all these years of trying to find her, trying to figure out why she left so suddenly, I realize that Eva knew all along. She was the reason for all of this in the first place.Elon didn't speak. He knew I needed time to calm down so he drove without haste even though he knew I was desperate to get home. It was his way of telling me to calm myself down during the ride abut I knew that was impossible. I might be calm now but I wouldn't be once I set my eyes on her.She was home, at the garden, according to what the maids told me. She had just had dinner and was getting some fresh air. I hurried to the garden and found her sitting there, a book in hand."Eva. We need to talk." I said.She closed the book and place
CHAPTER 84ANDREW'S POVHer lips were soft and full, they tasted like strawberry. As our lips intertwined and our tongues engaged in a fierce battle inside our mouths, I pulled her closer to me so our bodies melted into each other. I had missed her a lot. Her scent, her taste, the feel of her. Everything drove me insane. Her moans filtered into my ear as I lifted up her silky night dress and ran my finger up her thigh and grazed her pussy.I pushed my finger Inside her and circled her clit, watching as her mouth hung open and she stared back into my eyes, pleasure pooling in them."I've missed you Rena, every bit of you." I whispered in her ear. "But I'm not going to rush even though I'm eager to bury myself inside you right now. I'll take my time and do whatever you want." I said, my finger still playing with her clit."What do you want me to do to you?"She swallowed hard and shut her eyes, then they fluttered open again."I want you to..I want you to eat me..like umm..""You want
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
