Chapter 31 - MRAB Group

Mr. Newman never saw that coming, and Michelle felt guilty. Maybe if she hadn’t slapped him, he wouldn’t have asked for a divorce before the agreed time. It wasn’t about the money, but Mr. Newman had put so much trust in her that she did not want to disappoint him. “Sebastian, it’s just a few months…” Michelle was saying when Mr. Newman held up his hand, signaling her to stop. He knew that her explanation would only make it worse since Sebastian’s mind was made up. He expected it, and that was the reason why he made the necessary provision for it. A pitiful smile curled up the corner of his lips as he addressed his son. “Sebastian, you will regret this. I’m doing everything for your good, so let the one year be over.” As expected, Sebastian refused. He had to find his strength and search for Piper wherever she was

Chapter 32 – Ready to face him.

“I am doing my best to meet with the CEO of MRAB Group. It's rather unfortunate how she’s always out of the office. I heard she has other businesses, and the secretary would not give me her personal number,” Ezrah replied helplessly. This was the first time he faced difficulty in meeting anyone. They were always the ones drooling over him. He couldn’t blindly support the Henshaws without knowing what MRAB Group was up to. Everything seemed deliberate, and he had to know if the CEO was interested in helping the community or intentionally going against the Henshaws. Lucas and Ethan exchanged glances. This was the first time Ezrah complained about anything. He was always all action and no talk, but now, he was all talk and no action. “Come on, kid brother. You have all the charm. Isn’t that why our father chose and trusted you for this? Women have been throwing themselves at you, but it seems this woman hates your charm. If not for her name, I would have said she was a man, but come to

Chapter 33 – Do you believe in ghosts?

“Are you sure about this? Ezrah is still running the businesses in this city. Are you capable of battling with him? I even heard that he secretly opened new companies solely under his name,” Mr. Leonard Adams revealed.Having seen his daughter so hurt before, he would not be able to endure it if she got hurt a second time. Ezrah was ruthless, and taking into consideration the fact that even when Zora was his wife, he had refused to support their company, it only shed more light on his ruthless character.Zora was calm, not needing to be told as she was not only married but also worked with Ezrah. She knew him like the back of her hand.“I don’t intend to battle with him. I’ve already begun my revenge on the Henshaws. If he dares to cross me, not even the love and respect I have for his parents would stop me from equally messing him up. All I want is for him to stay far away from me.” Zora’s expression and voice were so cold that her personal bodyguard, Rush, stared at her with a stunne

Chapter 34 – The woman who made his heart thump

“You know about her?” Madison was bewildered that Zora knew about Piper. “Gosh. She only made an appearance at the company after your death. I mean, now that we are talking, I will rather say, disappearance. Then Ezrah broke up with her. She attempted to commit suicide, so he went to stay by her side at the hospital. A few months ago, they got engaged, and she comes to the office all the time.” Zora’s gaze darkened slowly, and she could not help feeling bitter. Ezrah went to stay with Piper at the hospital because she wanted to take her life. What about her, who carried his child? Before and after the accident, he never showed up at the hospital. He was never there for her. Ezrah was trying to fight for his fiancée’s family’s company. They would see about that. “Do you have any idea if they live together?” Zora did not know if she was ready for this but was certain that she was prepared. She would not live in this city for more than three months. “Ezrah rented a penthouse for her, t

Chapter 35 - She reminds me of Zora.

Ezrah regained himself and freed his hand from Piper’s grip. At the same time, his eyes met the woman on the red carpet. It was strange that, though her lips blossomed with a sweet smile, her eyes were very dark. It was as if she was smiling with her lips while her eyes carried a different message. The exchange was brief as she turned her attention to the camera. There were a lot of camera flashes as she signed autographs and exchanged a few words with the woman beside her. “I hate the paparazzi. Go with Madison. I guess she’s a fan too,” Ezrah finally said, eager to have a word with that woman. He did not want to be caught on camera with Piper, thinking it wise to take a step back. Perhaps he’ll find another way to have a conversation with that woman. His mind was in a mess right now. Piper was displeased as she wanted to show off Ezrah in front of the media. Knowing that her annoyance would make him upset, she plastered a smile on her face before saying, “But I got the pass for u

Chapter 36 – Zora. It's you!

Lake pressed his palm against Ezrah’s forehead, expecting to feel warmth, but it turned out cold. “I thought you had a fever, but you seem fine to me. I saw Zora only on your wedding day, but I doubt she’s the one there.” He thought Ezrah had gotten over Zora, but it did not seem so. Lake wondered what about Michelle got Ezrah so worked up. His behavior tonight was abnormal, but Ezrah was not one to cause a scene. It would be absurd for his matter to be on the lips of the media. The more Ezrah saw Michelle, the stronger his conviction grew. Her hand gestures, smile, dentition, and so on. This was a woman he shared the same bed with for three good years, so how could he not recognize her? Or was it her ghost? “You said it yourself that there was something fishy about the accident,” Ezrah reminded Lake. Lake was losing his patience as he saw another celebrity about to take Michelle and Coco’s place. “Can we discuss this later? There is limited time for this.” Irritation settled in hi

Chapter 37 - Back off, you don't know her history.

Michelle panicked slightly but remained calm. She did not mind that her identity would be revealed, but it was not supposed to happen on the red carpet, and not when she had been unable to kidnap Piper as she wanted. As much as she wanted to admit it and flaunt it in his face, she remained focused on her objective for tonight. She was about to free herself when Rush quickly came through for her. His gaze was apologetic, as he was not supposed to allow anyone near Michelle without her approval. Who knew that being on her left side, Ezrah, would snatch her from the right? Rush had no idea who he was and with what audacity he got close to her but that bravery was what felt like a threat to him. “Get your hands off her,” Rush said seriously, about to peel Ezrah’s hand, but Ezrah was quick to shove him away. He was getting violent for reasons Michelle could not pinpoint. Never in her life had she seen him like this but remained indifferent. “Back off, you don’t know her history,” Ezrah

Chapter 38 - She's my wife.

Madison froze momentarily before forcing a sweet smile to mask her anxiety. “Sir, I think we should take you to the hospital. Michelle is as pretty as your late wife, but I don’t think they are the same.” She intentionally used the term ‘late wife’ to remind him that Zora was deceased. “You might just be missing Zora so much that you see her in Michelle.” Ezrah was dissatisfied but did not refute the accusation, and neither did he accept it, choosing silence instead. “Lake, come and drink with me.” Lake glanced in Michelle’s direction, but his focus was on finding Coco. Regrettably, she had followed Michelle. Disappointment streaked his tone. “Alright, I will come and drink with you, but what about your woman?” He glanced at Piper. Ezrah was so distant from his fiancé without realizing it, making it questionable. The tremor was the way Piper was so well behaved. She did not want anything to cause her to lose her engagement ring. Hence, she could only stomach everything Ezrah did w

Chapter 39 – Leave her alone

Rush recalled the conversation Michelle had earlier with her parents. So, this must be the man they were talking about. All he knew about Michelle was her marriage and divorce from Sebastian. Now, he felt there was a lot about Michelle he knew nothing about.Curious to get a hint, his raised hand dropped, and he held back a little. Michelle was greatly angered. She was here for Piper, not ready to allow Ezrah to get in her way.“Who are you? I think I’ve tolerated your madness enough. If your wife is missing, then go find her. I have no idea who you are.” With all her strength, she shoved him on the chest, but he was as rigid as a mountain, grabbing hold of the door before she sat in the car.Rush could not watch any longer, as no other information was being released. It could be a case of mistaken identity, or either or both parties were hiding something.“Leave her alone,” Rush pushed him violently. Ezrah shoved him back with force, but Michelle had already seized the opportunity to

Chapter 40 – I was his first love

Michelle’s mood was dampened by the time she reached the venue for the party. She used a private elevator to the changing room with Rush, coming out in a sexy bikini, as it was a pool party. A light dimmed in her eyes in response to the video she was watching on her phone, sent by Madison. Ezrah’s behavior was so strange to her that she began to wonder what was happening to him. A bitter smile curled the corner of her lips. He must have found out she was the CEO of the MRAB Group and wanted to see her because of the Henshaws. Yes, he must be doing it for Piper. The only time she would be ready to give him an audience was on Monday as she had specified. Rush had heard enough and asked, “Is he your husband?” Michelle’s expression turned cold as she retorted, “Do I look married to you?” Ezrah’s words in the video showed he was, but if Michelle was denying
