FAZER LOGINClaire's POV It was funny. The fact that someone could claim what doesn't belong to her. I had wanted to believe it was a joke, or she possibly give off the vibes that she was lying, but she didn't. I should have known that, but still…it was funny to see how she had claimed it was hers, even being ready to reaffirm it, so I watched while they all dug their graves, knowing that it was the one thing they would have regrets about. I knew the shares we owned now were 45, and if mine were added to it. It would sum it up to it being 55, so there was no way that we were going to lose the company. I was also tempted to let them know that Eldora had lied, but I held myself back. Why would I do that when I was going to have the perfect chance to do that next week? I could hold back a bit; nothing had hurt anyone from doing so. “Thank you.” I gave a smile to the lawyer after scribbling my signature, with a massive smile on my face. “It's nothing to thank me for, Mrs. Jerald.” She beamed a
Jerald's POV “Eldora?” I blurted out. Has she been the one all this while? The one who we had been unable to trace? Why was it that my mind hadn't gone to her being the one, but when exactly did she buy such an amount of shares without anyone having a clue about it?“Do you know her?” Lindsy inquired. “I heard you both have a history together, but I didn't want to believe that because obviously I know nothing about it.”I drew in a breath. “Is she the key you need to nail this in?”“Yes, she is the one who we have been searching for all this while, and I got a source who told me you guys have been doing the same thing, so tell me. How do you feel about this?”My fingers massaged the scalp of my head gently, knowing this was too much to take in. How could it be Eldora? She of all people? “You have it all planned out, Lindsy; what else can I say?”“We are here to let you know that you can resign so you wouldn't feel the shame of being walked out that day because that is what we plan
Jerald's POV “It wasn't what I intended when I had mentioned telling her.” Claire clarified while we stood together. “I know. You shouldn't feel guilty when it is none of your fault. Wales had always had it coming to him, so why don't you stop feeling guilty about any little thing when you shouldn't even be?”“I should, right? I shouldn't, but I can't help it.”I swallowed, knowing this was guilt when she wasn't even supposed to be feeling that at all. “He is an adult, and he has made his choices. We can't possibly make them for him.” I explained. “Now, would you like a sorbet? Moreover, can you stay with Mother? She will be a little heartbroken by the choices she was forced to make.”“I will, and yes, I will love that sorbet. Why don't you keep me updated with what goes on in the meeting? I will be waiting.”I kissed her gently on the cheek before walking away, my heart slamming against my chest. Well. I could tell this wasn't going well, or it wasn't going to end well. First, W
Claire's POV “What the hell did you just say?” I asked, with Mother standing beside me, who was at a loss just like I was. I wanted to believe that he had uttered that because he was stupid and had not thought about it right, because who in his right senses would say something like that?“Wales, in now.” Mother deadpanned.“Mother, please,” his eyes rolled lazily. “Come in with Kiara now.”“Why are we going to do that?” He countered, not moving an inch.“Come in now, Wales.” Father insisted. We all traipsed in, and I didn't want to believe he had made light of the fact that his so-called girlfriend, who he intends to marry, had flashed her boobs at his brother, and he was okay with it. “What the hell did you say out there?” Mother inquired, waiting for him to repeat it. “I mean, what is wrong with flashing a little boob when everyone does it.”“I hope you aren't speaking about my wife.” Jerald muttered at him. His brows furrowed. “Well, if the shoe fits, I wasn't the one who me
Jerald's POV “That is perfect.” My lips kissed her arm gently as I whispered to her. “Are you sure?” She asked me again, this time with a frown on her face. “I am certain, love, so how about you don't worry about it at all and instead think about being the filial daughter you have always been to Mother?”“Oh please,” she rolled her eyes. “You shouldn't make a joke of that. I love her.”“And I am not. I know that she loves you, but I can't help but think about the fact that she feels off, and I can't quite reach her. She feels out of my reach.”“Out of your reach? What do you mean?” She walked over, slipping on her sandal. “She has been cold, and if she calls. She just wants you around. Besides, how is it coming along? I couldn't ask you about it. Do you love it?”“I love it. Husband. How exactly were you able to know what I would like?” “Is that a joke?” I turned to look at her. “I would know what my wife loves. If I don't, would that make me a spouse in the first place?”“Hmm. I
Claire's POV My eyes fell on the full-length mirror, which leaned against the wall where I stood staring at my naked self and how beautiful I looked.Jerald's office was huge, so huge that mine paled in comparison to it. If there was something I knew he wouldn't do, it was touch Kiara. I could vouch for him because he loved me that much. My hands ran on my body before it came to a halt in between my legs, knowing it ached for him and I needed him to come here for me. I knew he had a lot on his mind, but he didn't need to worry about that at all because I was going to help. I had gotten shares from Drandy last year and happened to be the one who owned the ten percent he was looking for, and I knew it had to be a surprise because none of them knew. The door finally cranked open, and I inhaled deeply when he strolled toward me. My eyes fell on him as he stood behind me. “ You are back?” I stood, moseying across to him fully naked while my juice ran down between my legs where his eye
Jerald's POV I should be vexed but why the hell was I not mad at her? Was it because we weren't together anymore and as such she could do whatever she wanted?Well, certainly I hadn't expected that what I would see would be her getting banged by someone who wasn't me, but maybe I should have thoug
Claire's POV My body ached, but I knew I couldn't stop. Not when it felt as though this was the only way I could get this right. My head felt blank, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember what exactly had happened to me. I could barely do that. Jerald was better; he was gentle, and h
Jerald's POVI have thought of what to do, something that would be painful to Eldora, and it had been difficult to come up with, but I have finally been able to determine what it would be for her and her family. No one hurt my fiancée and got away with it. I couldn't bear it. I had tried everythin
Jerald's POV She was different. I knew she was always this way, but still something felt off. Last night had come in a rush, and I had come home to dinner set out on the table by the housekeeper, but she was already in bed. I was tempted to let her know that she had to come to the dinner table a
