Semua Bab CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Chapter 41 Threads of Deceit The room was silent as Magaret sat calmly in her seat, her face was illuminated by the faint glow from the fire in the fireplace. She was comfortable in her seat as she sipped tea from a mug in her hands, this was one of Magaret's favourite pastimes. Victoria was standing by the window, on a call. She looked a little annoyed as she spoke into the phone, obviously having a heated conversation. “Is there a problem?” Magaret asked, noticing Victoria had ended her phone call. “No,” Victoria shook her head, not saying more. “It's just a little issue at the company.” “Well done,” Magaret nodded, and she stared at Victoria, hints of praise filling her eyes. “You've done well, Victoria,” Magaret's voice was filled with pride. “It was so easy to dispose of Damien,” Magaret chuckled. “He didn't see it coming,” a small smile touched her lips. “It's not over Mother,” Victoria's expression didn't shift despite the praise Magaret had heaped on her. “W

Chapter 43No Loose EndsThe office was quiet and peaceful, Victoria was at her desk as she went through company reports and documents. Managing the company wasn't an easy feat but she'd put in her utmost effort in it. Father wasn't inclined to patience, especially if he noted any mistakes. And no mistakes would be made, Victoria decided, her brows clamped together and she focused on the papers with unwavering concentration.Father had given her control of the company weeks after she'd made Damien discredited. A smile crawled up her face as she recalled the incident. It'd been so easy doing Damien in, all she'd had to do was bribe a few board members, a few bad suggestions here and there, and voila! Damien had been relegated to the background by Father in a fit of rage, he'd not spoken a word to Damien for weeks. He'd eventually given Damien one of the newly acquired companies as a form of redemption. Victoria smiled again, she'd also wrecked his chance of redemption. She'd done

Chapter 45Open ThreatsThe office was dead silent when Victoria walked in, the sound of her heels echoing in the room. She had a satisfied smirk on her face seeing the looks of utter shock on the faces of the directors. They had ample reason to be shocked. Victoria had connected her system to the projector in the boardroom and she'd projected certain things, the directors had gotten the shock of their lives. There were four men in the room, they should've been more but Frank had assured her that there'd been only four directors present at the meeting. This made Victoria relieved, things were still within her control. The board had nine directors, two were loyal to her, and the other three, they answered to Michael. The four who were meeting were all leaning towards Damien, so it was obvious what they were up to. Victoria didn't dare allow things develop further, if Michael got a whiff of what was happening it could bring unexpected problems. She didn't dare push her luck. “Wh

Chapter 47A Choice In The Midst Of DangerElenaThe house was quiet when I walked in and I finally heaved a sigh of relief, Lily had gone to school and finally I could have some peace. Too soon. The thought had barely registered in my mind when Jenna poked her head around the corner, her gaze searching. “You're back,” she said, smiling but I could feel the deluge of questions that hid behind her smile. I'd come back home a few days ago, Lily was over the moon and she'd literally been glued to me all day, I'd felt very guilty about it so I'd spent all my time with her, trying to make it up. “Lily says she wants to be a ballerina for Halloween,” I chuckled drily, forcing a smile. “You're still home?” I asked. Normally Jenna would've headed to work by the time I came back. “There was a small emergency yesterday,” Jenna mumbled through a mouthful of cereal she'd prepared. “So we're having the day off.” I nodded in understanding. “It's about time you spoke to me, Elena,” Jenna ke

Chapter 49Worth The Risk?Elena My heart thudded erratically as I followed behind Damien and got into the car. I sure hoped I was doing the right thing, I thought, staring out the window. “It's so pretty,” Lily's eyes were bright like fireflies as she stared around at the sleek interior of the car. I didn't have any reaction, I'd expect nothing less from the CEO of a company. “Yes,” Damien smiled, his eyes reaching mine but he didn't say a word. He put the car in drive and slowly reversed, before driving out of the parking lot. I glanced at Jenna's car that I'd left parked in the corner, silently wondering how many tickets it'd accumulate by the time I was back. Damien drove on in silence, the air filled with unspoken thoughts. I silently noted his tensed expression that he'd hidden very well, something was up. “So…” I broke the silence, keeping my gaze focused straight ahead. “What’s going on?” “Not here Elena,” Damien didn't glance in my direction, his gaze also fixed ahea
