Chapter 51 - I was not going to beg you to take me back

“Ezrah, I was with you throughout that time, so could you not have known if I caused it? And are you sure that Michelle is your ex-wife?”Piper did not want to believe it, but Ezrah would not lie about something like that. If Michelle was indeed Zora, then did it mean she had been tricked? All the niceness was just to get something from her, but what could it be?Also, she had let out a lot of information about herself and Ezrah, including her ex-boyfriend. If not for the facial mask, Piper would have been sweating bullets.“She’s your friend, so why don’t you ask her?” Ezrah asked in annoyance before recalling something and saying,“By the way, you are right in saying that you were with me when the accident happened, but I also remember that photos of us got to Zora when there were no cameras in the room. I can’t say that I believe you, but just make sure that your words are true.”Piper’s heart sank. The subtlety of Ezrah’s words was embedded in the fact that he did not trust her. W

Chapter 52 - Not Ready to Move on yet

He handed her a box, and she could tell it contained a bracelet, a necklace, or both. She had no interest in opening it to see exactly what was inside.“No, Phan, I don’t need anything from you,” she said, taking a step back. Throughout their relationship, she had bought most of the gifts, and a few times, Phanuel would reciprocate, but what he was good at was pranking her.It had been fun when they played such games, but it wasn't worth her sanity. Even when she saw him with Rachel for the first time, she wanted to believe it was another prank, but it turned out to be real.“Please, it’s worth two million and would clear my conscience. I wanted to give it to you before we ever broke up, but things happened unexpectedly,” Phanuel revealed.Knowing that she wouldn’t accept anything from him after the breakup, he wanted to give it to her, then wait a few days before breaking up, but she happened to see them at the premiere.Phanuel had been coming by every night since then but still had

Chapter 53 - Don't lie to me

“He’s here already?” Madison asked, gathering and prepping herself to meet her boss. She looked calm and collected but internally, she was nervous.“He arrived earlier than everyone else and his mood is terrible. I don’t know who offended him,” the receptionist replied. Ezrah never smiled much but today was different. Everyone was walking on egg shells.Madison could not believe that her little lie aggravated his anger to this level. “Thanks for the heads up,” she smiled tightly, dropped her hand bag at her desk before ambling to Ezrah’s office.When she entered the office, she tensed up. Ezrah looked as if he had not slept in days. Those dark circles were terrible and though elegantly dressed, it was obvious that something was bugging him.“Sir, good morning.”“You’ve been in cahoots with Zora,” Ezrah said directly before beckoning to the chair in front of him. After Madison sat, she responded with honesty.“She’s a good friend but you are my boss.”Ezra was annoyed. The fact that Ma

Chapter 54 – You shall not call my child a bastard

Ezrah did not bother to check what was in the papers, already guessing how everything had been exaggerated.“Dad, I will come home and explain it to you, please.” He was already at the door as he spoke to his father, but the latter refused to accept it.“No. Start explaining it now.”Ezrah’s brows furrowed in annoyance. “That woman is Zora. I confirmed it yesterday.” Disbelief registered in his father’s mind, causing his face to contort in confusion. Wasn’t Zora dead?Ezrah did not have time to explain, saying, “you don’t believe me? Call her parents, but I have to go.”***Earlier on at the MRAB GroupPiper arrived at the front desk, sophisticatedly dressed. Her makeup was loud enough to attract attention as she looked forward to outshining Michelle even with her looks.Sadly, she threw away all the clothes she bought from Michelle’s collections after discovering that she was Zora. Due to all the security, she put on a fake smile when she spoke to the receptionist.“I’m here to see M

Chapter 55 - You Can Put Her Behind Bars

Piper’s eyes were red. The slap stung deep, her cheeks burned. “How dare you slap me? You pretended to be my friend at first just to get information on Ezrah. News flash. He doesn’t want you and he never will,” Piper taunted Michelle.The slap was too much, and she would do anything to get Michelle upset. Unfortunately for her, Michelle was unfazed by her words, saying, “I will die before I go back to Ezrah.”Piper seemed pleased to hear that Michelle had no intention of reconciling with Ezrah. As long as Michelle stayed out of their lives, their relationship would be fine.“That's good, so stop being shameless and stop attacking my parents’ business,” she demanded. Michelle folded her arms across her chest, burying her emotions and remaining calm.“Not until you are put behind bars for what you did to my child,” she said directly. Piper was still brazen-faced, yelling like an uneducated woman.“I did nothing to a bastard.”Another slap greeted her as soon as the word left her mouth.

Chapter 56 - Falling into Michelle's trap

Michelle instantly calmed down upon hearing Rush’s words. “Did you record it?” She must have missed the first opportunity, but it seemed another opportunity presented itself even when she did not expect it. Rush’s arms loosened around her waist, and he showed the screen of his phone to her. Piper must have ruined Michelle’s phone, but who knew that Rush would record everything? “Yes, I did. Here it is.” When Rush played it, Piper realized her foolishness. The pain and breathlessness she felt at the moment were nothing compared to the fact that she just confessed everything and might end up in prison. “Call the cops. She won’t leave here,” Michelle said coldly, straightening her suit, but her hair was slightly disheveled. Piper, still on the floor, could not move immediately because of the pain and shock of what she just did. Her attempt to p

Chapter 57 – Shut up. You don't know her

Pausing briefly from what she was saying at the meeting and with everyone’s attention on her, awaiting her response, she replied coldly. “We have nothing to talk about. She confessed to her crime and will go to prison for it. My lawyer is already on his way.” She did not think that Ezrah would want to discuss anything else apart from Piper, but his response raised a greater disappointment in her. “What makes you think I would allow it?” The executives were stationed in New York City and were well aware of who Ezrah was. Only his relationship with Michelle seemed to confuse them as it did not seem to be business-related but rather personal. “It was your child too.” Dismay laced Michelle’s tone, but she was not ready to drag this matter any longer. If after everything Piper went to jail, she would leave right after. With Ezrah in this city, it no longer felt like home, bu

Chapter 58 - He's not worth it

Rush’s overprotectiveness of Michelle unknowingly sparked Ezrah’s anger and jealousy once again. He had been married to Michelle for three years, and her bodyguard was telling him that he did not know her? Ezrah was pissed. “And you think you do? Tell me. Have you been sleeping with her too? It seems to me that she would do anything for money, but she must be paying you for it.” After all, he was her bodyguard, so he probably could not be paying Michelle. It should be the other way around. Rush punched him in the face, but Ezrah soon returned the blow. Both men were ready to go for each other’s throats, but Michelle did not want that. With the little strength she had, she yelled, gaining their attention. “Get out, Ezrah. It’s over. I don’t want to see you again.” Ezrah glared at her, his anger skyrocketing. “No, it’s not over because I will get Piper out of jail and see how I can help the Henshaws.” Michelle froze instantly. Was Ezrah really going to help and protect the murderer

Chapter 59 – The case of assault

Michelle composed herself, freshening up her appearance before returning to the meeting. She refused to let Ezrah get the best of her any longer. The meeting concluded positively, and on her way back to her office, her new phone began to ring. Rush had efficiently set it up after she had used the office line for some calls. Glancing at the caller ID, Michelle answered her lawyer's call. "Has Ezrah arrived?" She inquired directly. If Ezrah continued to obstruct her, she was prepared to set aside her relationship with his parents and focus solely on his company. Michelle would not mind bringing it down if that was what she had to do to make him impoverished. "No, but his lawyer is. Piper was interrogated, and she claimed that she made those statements to upset you because she felt threatened by your actions and feared for her safety.” The lawyer passed and asked her from the end of the line. “Did you assault her?" Michelle responded truthfully, admitting, "Yes, I did." If she had t

Chapter 60 – You know Piper too?

Ezrah massaged his temple, feeling a painful headache setting in. “Can we discuss this later? Bailing her out is enough for now. Just make sure she doesn’t escape and extend the first hearing to about a month. I should be able to gather enough evidence by then. There is a possibility that the child in question could be mine.” “Alright. I will do as you have said,” the lawyer replied. When Ezrah ended the call, Lake looked lost. “What are you insinuating about the probability of the child not being yours? You're not assuming that Michelle cheated on you during your marriage, are you?” Ezrah wanted to trust her, but the jealousy in his heart wouldn't allow it. The thought of Michelle sharing a bed with another man pained him, and the sight of her bodyguard annoyed him greatly. “Zora got married less than two weeks after faking her death. What do you call that? How can I be sure she wasn’t cheating in the marriage?” Pain laced his voice as he ran his fingers frustratedly through his h
