Semua Bab LOVE AND LIES: THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE'S RETURN : Bab 11 - Bab 20

GIAI“The Open Bar. 6 pm.”Mr Quinten had also sent his picture so it would help me identify him easier. Bella wanted to come with me but I hadn't discussed that with Mr Quinten so I refused. She made me wear a wig so it wouldn't be very obvious. I made sure that Juan came back and got settled in before I left the house. As soon as the car stopped in front of the bar, my phone rang. “Hello?”“Are you there yet?” I was staring at the club's bright letters sign from across the street and I watched people go in. But I didn't answer him. I was interested in another piece of information. “How did you get my number?”He laughed out loud.“Is that what you're worried about?" “Yes, I don't give my number to just anyone so how did you get it?”He sighed heavily. “I have my ways, Miss Everly. Let's just say that. Good luck tonight."He ended the call before I could even say anything. Sighing and putting my phone in my bag, I bent down to speak to Evan. “Evan, you know you can go home

JAVON“What’s that supposed to be?” I pointed at the plate in front of me. She smiled proudly like she had done something worth commending. “I brought you food. I heard you hadn't eaten all day and I decided to get you something to eat.”“Take this rubbish and get out of my office."Her smile fell. “But I spent all day making this for you. You should taste it-”“The last time I ate something you made, I landed in the hospital. I won't say it again, get out of my office.”She marched away but I called her back. “Get this thing out of my face.”She came back and picked up the plate, murmuring as she left and slammed the door. Two years after Gaia left, my mother found out about everything that happened and she brought Stephanie into my home to “take care of me.”I specifically told her that I wasn't interested in her and I would never be, but she refused to listen, saying that it didn't matter as Gaia had already left me and that I would grow to like Stephanie. It had been three y

GAIA I spent the day at home, well most of it anyway. I looked for anything that the media could tell me about the court case but there was little to no news coverage about the issue. Mainly because it had to do with the military and also because it would be a slap on the military's face if it's found out by the public that a civilian made away with weapons..First off, the entire country would be thrown into chaos because they would fear about whose hands those guns would get into and also, it meant the military wasn't reliable anymore. I jumped from site to site, jotting down a few things that seemed important, and decided to ask Mr Quinten about it when I went into the office. Hearing this issue happen seemed like a dream to me because according to the news, his company was dropping and losing money. Of course, they didn't know what was going on exactly, but they could see the statistics, and they knew something was wrong. His company has lost a significant amount of money an

EVELYN I sat in the restaurant with my legs bouncing up and down in anticipation as my heart thudded loudly in my chest. I didn't want to pick up the call, and I breathed out in relief when the first call ended, but before I could continue thinking, the phone vibrated again in my hand, and I couldn't help but be scared. I'd never had a good relationship with my father, even from the start. He'd always hated me and he wasn't afraid to show it. I knew from the time when I started growing up and I noticed the way he treated me differently. My friends always spoke about their fathers and the way they spent time with them and they bought them things. But not my father. My father didn't care for me, he didn't even know I existed until he saw me or I got into trouble. It wasn't even something that I could do anything about. Everything I did was an issue to him. I couldn't go out with my friends, I couldn't have friends over, I couldn't smile or be happy like other kids my age. He expe

JAVON I collected the phone from her as she stretched it towards me. I looked at the screen and couldn't believe what I was seeing. “I don't believe this. I would never sleep with you even with a gun pointed to my bead.”I got off the bed and began picking her clothes from the floor and I threw them at her. “Dress up and get out.”I picked up my phone to see ten missed calls from my lawyers. Wonderful, the last thing I needed was more trouble than needed. “Javon, why are you acting like this? I'm not the one who brought myself here. You brought me here, you approached me.”I turned around to face her. “Also, why the hell did you take pictures?”“Because I knew you were going to act like this so I needed proof that I didn't seduce you.”Why did I find that hard to believe? I wanted to say something but I just couldn't remember what it was. I tried to remember at what point I went over to her but my memory stopped at the bar when the bartender came to me. I don't even know how
