Semua Bab OBSESSED WITH MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND : Bab 41 - Bab 50

ReneeThe sound of something crashing startled me and Jeremy.I saw him in my room, applying pressure with ice on the bruise that had started forming on my stomach. He filled me in on what happened after I passed out.I tried running out twice to go search for Ivor but he wouldn't let me, promising that Ivor was fine and would be back before I knew it.He finally gets me to stop moving and starts applying relief balm on my bruise and we have been sitting like that for hours.No one's talking to the other except for Jeremy that goes out to pick calls, talking in a hushed tone. All my pleading with him to tell me what was going on fell on deaf ears.All he keeps saying is Ivor is fine and would be home anytime soon.Another crashing sound came again and we ran outside the bedroom to see what was going on.I wasn't the only one surprised to see guards standing with grim looks on their faces in front of Ivor's door.Does that mean he's back?I didn't get anyone to answer that question bef

Renee Seeing that he was already deep, I slipped out of his tight hold and put a pillow in my place, he grabbed it immediately like he was afraid of losing me. The sight made warmth fill my heart.I need to go find Jeremy and talk to him — at least he should explain what the hell was happening. Why would Ivor react like that? Was it just about the framing stuff or are there other things that I didn't know?I emerge in Ivor's bedroom to see it sparkling neat – no shattered glasses and all the furniture he destroyed has been replaced with new ones but they are not the same as the old ones.I walked out of his bedroom and entered mine to find it empty. Jeremy is nowhere in sight.‘where could he have gone?’ I wonder, making my way downstairs.What I didn't expect was to find a woman that looked like Monica on the stairs, it was the voice that made me realize she was the one. ‘But what's she doing here? Isn't she suspended?’ I thought with no answer.She still hasn't noticed me which te

ReneeShe walked into the house like nothing happened — like she didn't just sabotage someone's life.Someone she claims to love…I have been thinking all through yesterday — trying to understand what made her go that route but no tangible reasons could make her so vengeful like that.My anger was palpable as I watched her walk down the stairs till she was about to pass me. I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the patio.“What… What are you doing? Let me go.” She yelled out in surprise before jerking her hand away. “What's wrong with you?” “You wanna tell me something?” I faced her till we were chest to chest.She looked genuinely surprised or she's just good at hiding it — and I will go with the latter.“Tell you what? What are you onto?” She asked, moving back about.“What you were talking about yesterday?” I gave her a knowing look and realization dawned on her face but vanished as quickly as it came.“What… what do you mean?” she stuttered“I don't know. That conversation where

IvorAfter mentally running through all my options, I decided to call Monica. “Get all the employees' bio-data to my house,” I said and hung up.At the same time, the men came in with a cleaned-up Harrison, with one side of his face disfigured — my fist really did a number on him.“No, don't strap him.” They stopped and let him sit like that.“Now are you ready to give me a name? Trust me when I say, killing you would be like a walk in the park and I've got nothing to lose — same as pinnacle Global and this person you are trying to protect.” I tried to coax him but was met with the same level of stubbornness.“Mr… Walker…” he struggled to speak, his swollen lips and bruised jaw making every word a painful effort. “I… made a promise… to this person… that their name… will never be out…” he winced, a faint groan left his lips as he tried to continue. “And the reason… I told you… about the company… was because… they betrayed me…” his chest heaved with the effort, his breathing labored. “I

Ivor Lance drove me to work today and this is the first time I have been to the company since the incident. My staff welcomed me with smiles, flowers, and the like, which Monica and James collected and I headed over to my office.Monica was reading my schedule for the day — I didn't know who permitted her to resume after the suspension.But I have definitely forgiven her so I brushed it off.“Lastly Sir, there are people…” she didn't finish when the elevator opened and my eyes landed on not ten, twenty, or thirty people standing in front of my office — all dressed in suits.From all indications — they are investors. They all straightened up as they saw me.I turned to her, sending a hard glare her way — making sure she got my message.“I am sorry Sir. They insisted on seeing you and I thought with them on our side now. Our company's stock will rise above all other companies.” She explained.She's not wrong about the stock but wrong about me wanting to collaborate with them.I faced
