Lahat ng Kabanata ng Billionaire's Rekindling Love: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

ZARAIt was pure silence as Matthew drove me back to my apartment with my security up ahead in my car.Neither of us has said anything since we had sex for the first time in seven months and even though the silence of the last few months has been deafening and without it pain and consequence.This silence is different, it's heated with a lot of emotions. But not bad emotions though, good ones and I only hope they last long.I felt Matthew's finger intertwined with mine as he pulled up in front of my driveway.He brought my hands up to his face and placed his lips on them. I felt a tingling all the way from my stomach down to my spine.And boy, did it feel good.“You don't want me to go, do you?” I asked and he sighed, still holding my hands.“We could just stay in here, no one can see us,” he said pointing at the tinted windows and glass. “Or we could go to our gateway mansion or the cabin I just got,” he added and I smiled.“As lovely as all of that sound is, I have to go in,” I sai

ZARAThe elevator doors dinged as it opened. I walked out to see a table with a portrait of Monica's picture standing on it with a notebook underneath it.I took a deep breath as I walked towards it. My fingers trailed the notebook to see a few names signed on it and I scoffed. This can't continue to happen. Vic had placed this a week ago to honor Monica's memory and only a few people have pen down their names.I turned towards the common area where I know most of the staff will be getting their morning coffee. I know Monica wasn't a decent human being but the rest of us are and we need to show it.“Hello everyone,” I said, as I walked into the common area. “Looks like we are all here,” I said and watched each and every one of them.“I know Monica wasn't the nicest person,’’ I said to them. “But we are,” I pointed at us. “Is this about her portrait signing every morning?” One of the junior associates asked.“Yes, it is and I know how awful she was to you all, but now she's no longe

ZARAWe got into a car waiting for us at the entrance of the building. I leaned backwards to rest on the car headrest, watching the buildings evade before my eyes as the car accelerated.My mind kept replaying everything that happened in the last hour. It's funny because when I planned to return to New York four years ago I told myself I would take over the firm without my father's shares.Without having to marry Matthew. And here I'm, the biggest shareholder. Nothing stopping from changing the firm into the beacon of hope it supposed to be. Not even Howard Dewitt or his new puppet Alberta can stop me.I leaned forward, holding the edge of the seat. “What's the ETA on the Governor's office, Bailey?” I asked my security.“About forty five minutes ma'am,” she answered and I sighed, leaning back.“We should have used a chopper,” I said, feeling car sick.“I mean your billionaire boyfriend was there. You could have just asked,” Vic said, shrugging her shoulders while Lisa chuckled.“He i

ZARA“Hi,” I greeted as I walked out of the elevator.“Good day Ms. Zara,” one of the junior associates, who has been filing in as my assistant greeted me as well.“Is everyone in the boardroom?” I asked. He nodded and handed me some folders.“What are these?” I asked as I read the document. Looking at names and resumes.“Ms. Victoria asked me to give them to you,” he said. I sighed and handed the folder back to him.“The last thing on my mind is getting an assistant. We need to start creating questionaires, interviewing the clients, looking through the Phillip Industrial Company reports sents to us,” I said.“I don't have the time to interview an assistant,” I said as I walked towards the boardroom.“I'll let her know, Ms. Zara,” he said. I took a deep breath and turned to him.“You have been doing a great job Marcus,” I said to him. “Just hold on for a while.”He nodded and helped me with the door of the boardroom.Everyone stood up as soon as they saw me. “What is this, a monarchy

ZARAIt's been a week since Matthew walked out of the boardroom of Zenith Law Firm telling me it's up to me to save our relationship.I know I'm in love with him. I know I want to be with him but the thought of marrying the man who killed my mom doesn't sit right with me.I don't know if anyone in my shoes will do anything different. And because of the silent treatment Matthew has been giving me, things have been weird with Hazel.She says whenever I drop her at Matthew's place for a while he is sad, doesn't talk to her or anyone and she blames me for it.We were just rebuilding our relationship that Monica almost broke and now this is happening.“Zara, Zara….” I felt my body shake. I batted my lashes multiple times and looked at Vic and Krystal who had worried looks on their faces.“I'm here,” I muttered and Krystal scoffed.“No, you are not,” she said. “Do you know how long we have been calling you?” She asked.“A while,” I whispered, not looking at either of them.“Zara, if you mis
