I’d been in the car for about an hour now. There was no way to get through—reporters were everywhere, clawing at the doors like wild animals. Thank God the car was strong enough to keep them out.

“How many guys are in there?” I asked again, already knowing the answer.

“Still twelve,” he replied, same as before. Not nearly enough to get through this crowd.

“Some of them will get tired. That’s when we drive in,” he added.

I nodded and reached for my phone. Carlos started this mess—he better be the one to fix it. I called him, but it went straight to voicemail.

“He blocked me?” I blinked in disbelief. “Bastard,” I muttered, then dialed Fiona. She picked up immediately.

“Ms. Sterling?”

“Are you still at the office?”

“Yes, our belongings are—”

“Give the phone to Carlos. I want to speak to him.”

“Are… are you sure?”

“Yes. Now go.”

“Okay. Just hold on a second,” she said, and I waited. I didn’t think he’d actually come to the phone, but Fiona always had her ways. A few seconds later, I was c

  • Ex-husband Demands Remarriage   Chapter 0050

    I mean, sure, Millie was into books. I even remember meeting Pablo at that event when he bought their company. But she was very married and—oh God, now it made sense.Remember when Aaliyah first came here, how she was ranting about Millie being married and then having a boyfriend and Miles being okay with it? Well, I didn't really pay attention, but now it made sense.“I see. But she doesn't speak to me anymore. In fact, I wouldn't want to speak to her too…” I remembered how she didn't believe me and sided with Aaliyah. “This still takes us nowhere.”“You might think that, but your half-sister—she's the one who can take us there.”“What do you mean?”“She doesn't know who you truly are.”“I see. So you searched me.”"Of course I had to. Well, I know for a fact that your half-sister is gullible, so we can use her to get to Pablo. We’ll have to do it carefully, but we’ll get there.”“Great. Although I don't see how.”“You just have to trust me.”“And I do. Alright, come up with a plan a

    The Evans was one of the top family businesses not only in Atlanta but in all of the United States.Not only did they primarily deal with telecommunications, but they also had several subsidiaries and investments in other ventures—and they were successful, even more successful than my father's real estate group.It was nearly impossible to meet Pablo. The only time I ever saw him was when he bought a publishing firm Millie worked for. Back then, Millie was my friend, so I attended to support her. But even then, I didn’t get a chance to speak to him.“But there's bad news,” Presley said, and I looked at her to show I was listening. “You have to be sent by the angels to even get his assistant to pick up your call.”“So what you’re saying is…?”“It’s impossible to meet him. Even his home address isn’t visible on his personal website. The whole world doesn’t know where he lives. And as for his family, only his dad has been seen. His mother, who is your mother, and other relatives are comp

    I was getting a little too excited that if I wasn't careful, it would show on my face and give away everything. So, pretending that all contracts were as important, I returned to the first page and then asked when she contacted him and what exactly she said."She reached out about a week ago. She met my wife and—”“Wait, Mrs. Wilson knows about this?”"Of course. She's my wife and business partner. We made this deal together.”“I understand.”“Yes. She wants me in the child's life, but I can't be in that child's life. So many years have already been lost, and I'm too old to meet children now, especially with what I've done with the last.”“Valeria? I'm guessing.”“Yes, she… it's not important. So I want you to help me solve this peacefully. I can give her money, but I know that will make her keep coming back, and I don't want that. I want her gone.” He wasn't even blinking saying that. Wow, he really was a cruel man. He didn’t even care about his own blood.“Um, if I may ask, why don'

    But I couldn't give in. I had to sell my new identity, and that's what I was going to do. So I flushed a smile and extended my hand for a handshake.“Mrs. Wilson,” I greeted, and she didn't take it. Instead, she placed her hands behind her back and eyed me internally.It seemed like everything stopped. Nothing moved. It was hard, but I managed to clear my voice and speak again.“I have gotten this reaction from at least three people since I got here.”“Excuse me?”“I'm not Valeria. I'm Valentina. And I didn't believe in look-alikes until I got here…” I chuckled, putting my hand away.“Wait, you really think I'm a fool?”“Mrs. Wilson, that's not my intention at all. I can show you my ID if it makes you believe me, because I am not her. I promise.” I insisted, even when I didn't need to. I knew she would be the difficult one to convince."Of course you could have changed that. I mean, who would use the same old ID when your whole identity changed?”“Um…” I chuckled, as there was nothing

    I would’ve said he was calling because he knew I was Valeria, but not only did his voice sound like a troubled man, he introduced himself. My father never plays games.I moved the phone from my ear, took a calming breath, and raised my hand to wipe a tear that had fallen.No, I wasn’t crying, but hearing his voice after all these years… kind of made me emotional. Even when I had trained to be this professional, I still couldn’t stop the tears.“All right, Mr. Wilson,” I said, my voice coming out so normal it surprised even me. “How can I help you?”“I might be in legal trouble, and I heard the Governor praising you today… How you helped with her divorce.”“Yes, of course,” I nodded, wiping another tear with shaky fingers. I really had to work on my emotions for this man.He was nothing but cruel to me. I’m sure he only gave me the money so I could remain alive and be useful when needed.“How’s an hour?”“An hour?”“Yes. I just need advice on the matter. Don’t worry, I read the terms,

    After mentally preparing myself to face Aaliyah, I instructed Tina to buy flowers and send them to Presley’s company as a thank you.If you’re wondering where I got the money from since I was broke and only had about two hundred thousand in the company business, well, I had cash. About fifty thousand.I always had backups, just in case. And as someone who grew up with money, I knew all the safe places to store it. And if I remember correctly, I bought about two hundred thousand in crypto six years ago, and I haven’t really paid attention to it, but I’m sure it multiplied.“The Governor comes in in an hour, and we have a new client after lunch. Oh, and Mr. Clarke is scheduled for next week.”“Derek?” I wasn’t surprised, but I thought he would call me first.“Yes, ma’am. If you want, I can postpone him.”“No, I’m just… Of course, we are not postponing him. Clients are what we want. The earlier we settle at least five cases, the better for us. Now, could you please give Mr. Roberts a cal
