All Chapters of Billionaire's Rekindling Love: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ZARAIt felt like my body went frozen and I couldn't move. I held the door of the elevator, trying to take a step but I couldn't. I looked up at Matthew and there he was beaming with a smile. What is this man doing to me?Why can't I act normal whenever I see him? I looked at Vic and she was staring at me confused. Normally I would have stormed into the elevator and acted like Matthew didn't exist.But here I am feeling his eyes on me, his breath on me and his hands on my body. Just from one look in the elevator.Because things are different now. He has made me remember a side of him that I thought I would never see again.“I'll just step out,” Matthew said, walking out of the elevator. I found my strength and walked in.I turned around and Matthew was in front of me, standing very close for my comfort. “It's so good to know that I still have this kind of effect on you,” he whispered in my ear and walked out again.The elevator doors closed and I let out a deep breath using the wal

ZARA“Matthew…” my voice trailed out of my throat like a whisper. “You are here,” I coughed slightly.“You asked me here,” he slapped his hands against his lap. “Something about Hazel.”“Yes,” I sighed. “We were supposed to have a meeting but something came up,” I rushed to the living room couch to get my hand bag.“What's more important than our daughter?” He asked me and I didn't know how to answer that.“Of course our daughter is important,” I said to him. “But right now, the situation at hand trumps our meeting,” I tried to make him see reason.“A meeting about our daughter,” he paced in front of me. “Okay,” he scratched the back of his neck. “Does this have to do with this Victor person you were talking to?” He asked and I scoffed. I looked at him taken aback, then looked at Evans. “Is there a car ready, Evans?”“Yes, Ms. Taylor,” he answered. “Good, because we are leaving right now,” Evans nodded and walked out of the house.“Look, Zara. I didn't…”“I don't care,” I cut him o

ZARAI quickly placed my hands down and turned around embarrassed.Evans cleared his throat again, softer this time, as if he wished he could disappear.I stepped back from Matthew so quickly I almost tripped over my own feet.“We were just…” I started, but I couldn’t even finish the sentence. My cheeks were burning, and Matthew still hadn’t moved.Evans looked between us, embarrassed. “Sorry. I’ll… go check on Vic again.”He left before either of us could say another word.Silence fell over the kitchen.I pressed a hand to my chest and blew out a breath. “That was… awkward.”Matthew finally dragged a hand over his face and let out a low laugh. “His timing is terrible.”“Maybe it’s good,” I muttered, walking past him to grab a glass of water. I needed to breathe. “We still have a lot to figure out, Matthew.”He stayed where he was, watching me. His voice was softer when he spoke. “I know. And we will. One step at a time, remember?”I nodded and took a slow sip of water. “Then I guess

MATTHEW“Monica, I wasn't lying to you. I just haven't told you,” that was the tenth time I have said that to her but she doesn't seem to believe me.“Not telling me is lying to me,” she says. “How do you not get that?”“Look, I'm sorry okay,” I walked towards her but she took a step back. I turned around and rolled my eyes. It's not like I want to be here apologizing for something that doesn't even concern her.“It's bad enough that you called off the engagement, now you have a child,” she scoffs and begins pacing around the office.“Don't do that Monica,” I turned to her. “We both decided together to call off the engagement.”“I know that!” She fired at me. “What I didn't know is that my boyfriend is a father,” she said.“And do you want to know how I found out? Through the media!” She yelled. “Not from him.”“Stop talking about me like I'm not standing in front of you,” I said to her rubbing my forehead.“That's because you are not here, not with me anywhere,” she said and I looke

CLAIREI took a deep breath as I looked at the last message Monica sent to me which led me to be standing in front of Krystal's house.“You have twenty four hours to give me something new or your family will know the truth about who you are,” I read her text again and I swallowed hard.Life shouldn't be this hard. I grew up with loving parents and siblings. Why can't I just tell them. Why did I have to make myself be manipulated by Monica?Right now, I'm not just betraying Zara. I'm betraying Krystal. The only person I have ever felt something real with. The only person I'm not shy to be with, but I'm fully myself with her. I took a deep breath as I began to pick the lock of her door with my hair pins. “This is ridiculous Claire. Just tell your parents,” I heard myself saying, but my body was in control this time and the door opened.Surprisingly there weren't any security alarms and I didn't hear the sound of music playing which means Krystal wasn't home.I can still turn back. I
