The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 53
ZARA’S POVThe first thing that caught my attention wasn’t his words, it was the suitcase he held. He moved towards me, dragging it along with him. He flashed a smile my way and I got to see his nice dentition.“Did you hear everything?” I asked.“Yes,” he nodded. “Now I can’t help but wonder if Lily was telling the truth or if she had misunderstood.”“She misunderstood,” I cut in. “I really didn’t mean it that way.”“I am expected to take your word for it?” he asked.“I don’t care,” I said with a sense of urgency. “Why do you have a suitcase? Where are you going?”“A business trip,” he replied dryly. “I have to leave now.”“What!” I exclaimed in shock. “You didn’t think to tell me you were travelling until now?”“I am sorry,” he muttered. “However, I also didn’t know until two hours ago. I’m sorry but it is an urgent matter. One of our branches in Germany has got into some trouble and I have to go fix it myself.”I sighed, “When will you be back?”“As soon as possible,” he replied wi

ZARA’S POVMackenzie didn’t bat an eyelid at first and it made me wonder if she had expected me to say that. Then she muttered, “You want me to-”When she paused, she seemed to have been hit by the weight of what I just said. She walked closer towards me and asked, “Did I hear you right?”“You did,” I replied naturally. “I shouldn’t be asking you to do this since we aren’t that close but frankly speaking, there is no other person that can do this. I would have done it myself but there are too many eyes on me.”“Maybe I should find you an assistant,” she muttered. “I just want to live peacefully and something tells me my peaceful life would be disturbed if I help you.”She was right to think in that manner. Aurora who helped me back in Paris was dead, anyone who helped me here could face the same fate.I stood up and walked towards Mackenzie. I held both her hands and looked into her eyes, “You… It has to be you. You said it yourself, it would take too long to find a trustworthy person
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 51
ZARA’S POV“Daddy’s here,” I heard him say. The kind of shock that I experienced instantly was something I couldn’t quantify. Victor had always been my step daddy but we had never been close enough for me to call him ‘daddy’. It was therefore very shocking when he said this with so many people around.As much as I had liked to put him in his place right here, it was too crowded.So rather, I replied with a smile, “Oh yes, you are here. I wasn’t really expecting you.”“I didn’t plan this visit until an hour ago too,” he replied. “I was suddenly overcome with the desire to see you and the company for myself. It looks really great, I must confess.”“I would like to show you around the company. There are many more fantastic places you’d love to see,” Gabriel interrupted eagerly.“Before that-” I cut in. “We should talk properly. How about you come with me? I will show you my office.”“That would be nice,” Victor replied. I led the way and he followed. Mackenzie and his secretary, Ada, fol
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 50
VICTOR’S POVI would be working from home today, that was the agreement. However, the agreement wasn’t needed because I didn’t have work to do. I was the chairman of CK Group and the responsibilities were huge. However, I was smart enough to delegate most tasks. Only the most important events were handled by me.Anyway, I presumed I would be home all day. I rarely watch movies but since a particular one had been recommended by a friend, I thought I might as well spend my day doing that. I was halfway into the movie when the butler entered.“If I may interrupt you, sir,” he muttered.“You know I dislike interruptions,” I turned to him, already pissed off.“Your secretary is here, sir. I will bring her in,” he replied curtly. He opened the door and Ada stepped in, holding a briefcase. I gestured with my hand and the butler left the room while Ada came closer. I turned back towards the TV, waiting for her report half-heartedly.“I have something urgent to report,” she began.“Then you sh
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 49
ZARA’S POVI was driven to Apex Productions and the moment I arrived at the building, I took in the air purposefully. I had to make this place mine.I walked inside the building and there was Mackenzie, waiting for me in the hallway. She smiled the moment she saw me and then she approached.“Do you need help?” she asked, gesturing to my bag.“It’s fine,” I declined. “Good morning.”“That’s my line,” she chuckled. “Pleasant morning. Will you follow me, please? I will show you to your office.”“Thank you,” I smiled. Mackenzie led the way while I followed. On the way, I kept looking around as the place was filled with a lot of interesting things. We got to the place where the offices were located and mine seemed to be the end of the world. In the end, we got there. Mackenzie opened the door and I stepped in first, taking in the scene before me. The place looked like it had been specially curated for me.“Is it permitted to use the color pink for offices?” I found myself asking.“I don’t
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 48
ZARA’S POV“She might have been murdered,” Cael told me gently. I had lost my appetite and so, I dropped my spoon on the table. He looked at me with worry-filled eyes, “Maybe I shouldn’t have brought this up during dinner.”“Aurora was…” I paused. “I can’t believe I have to address her like she is in the past.”“That’s because she is,” he replied. “It is sad but she is gone.”“Murdered,” I muttered. “That means someone aimed for her and they executed their plan. I need to find out who it is and when I do, they won’t escape the consequences.”“I will make sure of that,” Cael told me confidently. “But we are the living, we must survive. You should pick up your spoon and have dinner.”“I… I can’t,” I stood up instantly. “I will take my leave first.”I walked away, overwhelmed. I could picture Aurora’s face again. She did tell me to come to Paris whenever I missed her. I do miss her now but she wasn’t in Paris, she was no longer in the world.People are born, people die.**That night, I

The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 3
ZARA’S POVThe elevator doors had barely closed behind us before Cael had me pressed against the cold metal wall. His lips crashed down on mine with a hunger that stole what little breath I had left in my lungs.This kiss was nothing like the polite one at the chapel. This one was hungry, demanding
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 2
ZARA’S POVI looked outside the window, taking in the bright city lights that shone ahead of us. I sat in the passenger seat, as my heart pounded like a free rock-and-roll concert was being held there.While Cael on the other hand was driving calmly, his eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel, and
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 1
ZARA’S POVI pushed open the apartment door, my overnight bag was still hanging from my shoulder. The place was quiet. A little too quiet if I might. Marcus was supposed to be at work, but his car was parked downstairs. I smiled a little. Maybe he came home early to surprise me.“Marcus?” I called,
