Immediately Sarah dropped the call, she called her secretary.

“I scheduled a meeting with Kora Ellison for ten tomorrow morning. Cancel it. Take it off my calendar.” She turned to leave.

“Ma'am, what if she insists?”

Sarah stopped, and looked back.

“I cancelled it. Simple. It shouldn't bother you.”

“But ma'am…”

“No buts, Anita. Just do as you're told, let me handle Kora. She's my problem not yours.” She walked away.

Anita grumbled under her breath, heaving a resigned sigh. She had been hoping

    "Ignore them," Zane said, concluding that this greed was fueled by his friends. "Don't let them push you into an unnecessary competition. Trust Father's decision if he has to pick a CEO.""I said you should leave my friends out of this," Zion said, then stood up. "You know what? Forget I ever asked. I'll ask Father myself." He walked away angrily.Zane watched his brother as he walked away, wondering what else could be going on in his mind. What else was he up to? But seeing how displeased Zion was, he wondered if he had done the right thing.He had never said no to Zion, and this one seemed important to him.Zane shrugged off the thought.A few minutes later, he decided to look for Zion to see what he was up to. He noticed Zion speaking to Aldwin in a corner, so he stood to observe.Aldwin had an amused expression on his face, while Zion had a look of dissatisfaction. Whatever the outcome was, Zane knew it wasn't to Zion's liking. Zion was still talking while Aldwin watched his son w

    The edge in Zane's voice made him sound almost annoyed, like he was being disturbed with indirect schemes and questions he didn't want to entertain.But Zion wanted what he wanted, so he ignored Zane's unusual attitude and asked anyway."Can you help me talk to Father?" Zion asked calmly, not wanting to offend Zane any further."About what exactly?" Zane asked, eyeing Zion. He knew his brother was definitely up to something, knowing him to be the free spirit who spoke whatever he had in mind.What could be so difficult to talk to Aldwin about? Zane knew there was more to this "favor" he was asking for. It caught his interest now."What is this about?" Zane asked again, seeing how Zion hesitated to state whatever it was.Zion cleared his throat, even though he didn't need to. "Help me declare your lack of interest to Father. I want to be CEO, and I know you don't have any interest in that," Zion said with a playful wink."Declare my lack of interest?" Zane repeated his words."Yes.""I

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 144: I Want To Be CEO

    He hesitated for a moment. Whatever it was, I was certain it weighed on his mind. He had been thinking about it for weeks, and he couldn't wait any longer."Who do you think Father will pick?" he asked. "As CEO, I mean. It has to be one of us, eventually."I was taken aback a little, trying to understand why Zion would come up with such a question."Why are you asking me that?""Because I've been thinking about it."Zion glanced across the room, where Zane was standing by the windows, talking to one of the shareholders with a look of polite disinterest."A company only has one CEO. Father can't name both of us."I set my champagne glass down on a passing server's tray, trying to control the wave of emotions that was bubbling inside me. I wondered how he had come up with such thoughts."You and your brother are equals, Zion. You're both heirs. That's what tonight is about.""That's not what I asked," he said firmly."I know," I said, reaching up to straighten his bow tie, the way I alw

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 143: The Heirs

    A company had only one CEO. That was just a fact. Someone had to make the final decision, carry the ultimate responsibility, stand at the helm while everyone else followed. Aldwin had been that person for as long as Zion could remember, and he had always assumed that one day, the role would pass to him.But Zane was his twin. They were equals in every way that mattered, born on the same day, raised in the same house, given the same opportunities. If Aldwin intended to name one of them as the heir apparent, he had never said so out loud.Zion had always seen himself as the obvious choice. He was more like Aldwin, both in appearance and attitude, charm and charisma. Zane on the other hand was a total opposite, and he wasn't so interested in anything that has to do with Imperial Holdings – the Ellison Empire, or so he thought. Zion saw himself as the son who had always shown interest in knowing things about the business. He always asked the right questions and his inquisitiveness was ev

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 142

    Five more years had gone by, and the boys were getting older. Zane didn't have the stark resemblance to Ralph that Zion had to Aldwin. He had taken some of my looks, so it was easy to say he favoured his mother. I was grateful for that.More years went by, and soon the boys turned eighteen. They were adults, standing on the edge of adulthood with their whole lives ahead of them. Aldwin had decided that their eighteenth birthday would be more than just a celebration – it wouldn't be like the birthday parties they had always had. It would be an announcement. Aldwin felt it was time for the boys to be officially introduced into Imperial Holdings – the Ellison empire. It was something Mrs Ellison had always looked forward to.The Ellison Headquarters had never looked the way it did tonight. The glass tower that stood as a monument to Aldwin's empire was very much alive. String lights wrapped around the marble columns in the lobby, and the massive conference room on the executive floor was

    "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know…" I chanted, holding my head in my hands."Stop that," my mum's firm voice interrupted. "That is obviously not a solution – worrying." She eyed me."For now, you don't have answers to how this came about, and telling Aldwin about this without proper answers is not a good idea." She paused, carefully scanning me with hawk eyes. I just knew a bomb was coming my way."How did Ralph's and Aldwin's babies both end up inside you at the same time, Kora?" She looked at me intently, waiting for answers.My whole body stiffened. I knew this question could come, but I had also imagined that none of them would ask me, given my bewilderment. But my mum had never been the one to push tough questions aside."Did you sleep with both men on the same day?" she asked again, her eyes darting between me and Lisa.I was mute, scared of whatever might slip out of my mouth. But the answer was yes – I had slept with both men on the same day, hours apart."Am I not tal

    “He knows,” I said the moment Ralph answered his phone.“What do you mean he knows?”“He knows, Ralph. He has proof. I don't know how, but he was able to find out.”There was a brief silence on the other end, it felt more like Ralph was processing what I had just said.“What did you tell him exact

    Aldwin's words still hung in the dining hall as he left me there and headed back to his room. He picked up his phone and called Lizzy. “Notify the board. I want everyone in the boardroom by nine,” he said in an urgent tone, completely ignoring Lizzy's greeting she had barely finished when she pi

    “I will.” I played dumb, like I didn't know what that meant. Especially when it was coming from Aldwin. “Now.” His deep voice echoed. “Aldwin, I'm tired. I'm not in the mood for…” “It doesn't matter. Just do as you're told.” He was pulling down his pants now. “Can I pass on this…” “No you f

    Aldwin was in a tuxedo. He had clearly been home earlier. I walked into the dining room quietly, trying to read him. “Have a seat.” A smile perched on his face. I took the seat closest to him, hoping to sense what he was up to.“Why are you home at this hour? It's clearly not to have dinner with
