Semua Bab ACCIDENTALLY HIS MISTRESS : Bab 11 - Bab 20

I slapped him, twice. “MUM” One word and my anger completely dissolved. Panic set in as I realized I had used violence in front of children. I quickly turned away from Steven and rushed to Michelle, wrapping my arms around her trembling form. "It's okay, Elle, it's okay," I whispered, helping wipe her tears. "It won't happen again," I promised, holding her tight as she clung to me, her small body shaking with sobs."The both of you get in the car," Steven instructed them, but they didn't move, their eyes fixed on me instead. I gently lifted Michael from the counter and pulled him into a tight hug, Michelle wrapping her arms around me as well."Steven, please don't do this in front of the children," I pleaded, my voice soft but urgent. I held Michelle and Michael close, hugging them tightly until their tears stopped and they calmed down. "Go with Dad," I whispered to them gently. "I shall come visit you soon," I promised."Are you sure, Mum?" Michelle asked, her voice laced with doubt.

(NICOLE’S POV)My heart raced as I was escorted by the nurse, my mind racing with thoughts of how to get out of this mess. I was placed next to the ambulance as we waited for the police to arrive. Alexa and Lala paced anxiously around their mother. The doctors were administering first aid. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Gladys stirred and opened her eyes, relief washing over her daughters' faces."Mom! What happened?" Alexa demanded, her voice sharp. "She just… she pushed me, Alexa. I didn’t mean to provoke her," her mother stammered, her hands shaking together nervously as she pointed at me."It's okay, Mum, you don't have to be scared we will take care of you," Alexa said soothingly, trying to calm her mother down. Then she turned to face me, her expression hardened, I realized one thing she wasn't going to let this slide. What was Gladys doing framing me like this? I was her real daughter, had she truly betrayed me?The policewoman escorted me to Alexa, who stood tal

(ALEXA'S POV)I stood before the board once again, my gaze drifting to Steven's tense face. His fingers drummed a beat on the table, something he usually does when anxious. I should have felt guilty for trying to destroy him, but I didn't. You only give someone the power to destroy you once, and Steven had used up his chance. His betrayal opened up the battlefield for this war, and now he was fighting for survival. With his father and two brothers in attendance, he might lose it all today. I smiled at the thought, one misstep, one mistake and might cost him his title as president."Today, I am here to present evidence that proves I, Alexa, am the sole designer of the estates designed and sold under this company's name," I declared, my voice firm and unwavering. There was silence in the room until one shareholder spoke up, "All designs?""Yes, all," I replied, my voice filled with emotion. "Hales Estates was founded on my vision, originally known as Calven Estates and Construction Comp

“I love you, Alexa,” Steven confessed, his voice breaking with desperation. “But I couldn't marry you. I lied to keep you, I knew you would leave once you knew the truth. Please, don't leave me. I'm begging you, princess, I will do anything.” I laughed when I realized he was even using a nickname he hadn't used in years.“You love me?” I asked, dumbfounded by his audacity to utter such a statement.“Yes, I love you,” he insisted. “I married Nicole out of obligation. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't. Please understand, Nicole is just for the public eye. You're the one who is truly in my heart,” he continued shamelessly.“Are you insane?” I shouted, my voice rising. “Do I look like a child to you?” “Alexa please……,” he begged but before he could continue, I was yanked away with so much force that I stumbled, almost losing my balance.I spun around and came face to face with Luke's angry face. "Luke," I called out, but he remained silent. Instead, he dragged me to the car without a

I scanned the table, the two remaining seats were next to Owen Hales and Steven. I knew exactly where I would rather sit, so I moved a little bit faster, as soon as we approached Steven spoke up."Mr. Hunters, nice to have you join us. My father has been waiting to talk to you," Steven said, clearly indicating for the seat next to Owen, I was left with one option right in between Luke and Steven. Luke sat next to Owen, his eyes flicking between us, He leaned in close, his voice low, "Behave yourself, little one. Or you will pay the price." I smiled sweetly, my eyes locked on his. "Maybe you will be the one to pay, Luke Hunters.""What are you two whispering about?" Owen asked with fake politeness, "Last I checked, you were business partners. Are you two dating now?" Luke looked at me with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. “We are more than that.” he said as he pecked me on the lips, leaving everyone including me in shock. I watched as Steven's jaw tightened, he leaned i
