All Chapters of Once An Overlooked Housewife, Now A Queen Of Fortune: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Bianca took another pull from her vape pen and let the smoke curl out slowly. The bass from the outer club was pulsing mildly in the air.“When’s he gonna be here?” The guy she was smoking with asked, antsy. “I got someplace else to be.”“Chill the fuck down,” Bianca snapped, looking downstairs.“He’ll be here any moment.”As predicted, Felix walked in, already greeting people and clasping hands with some guys. This was his favourite club and he was like an OG here. Soon, Felix started heading upstairs towards the VIP area“He’s coming this way,” the guy noted, looking downstairs.As Felix got closer to where they were, she suddenly told the guy, “Now go.”The guy promptly grabbed her face and tried to pull her in for a kiss and Bianca played into it.He glanced past her shoulder at Felix, “Okay, he’s close enough.”

Would be nice if she could just leave everything behind and start afresh in a new country, in a beautiful city, in a cosy house. Wren considered this idea when they landed in Paris, however fleetingly it came.The team was made up of five, including Wren and Kael. As soon as they settled, they went straight for the 8th arrondissement where the shell corporation’s registered address supposedly existed.Obviously, Wren didn’t want to be left behind, and automatically Kael was to accompany her. And so the two, and one other guy from the team went to the building to make enquiries.“Bonjour?” A woman greeted them at the lobby.“Hi…bonjour,” Wren tried in her inadequate French. “We’re looking for…” She checked her phone for the company name again. “Sommet Solutions International?”The woman nodded politely. “Suite number?”“We don’t have one. W

A bald head. A stomach testing the structural integrity of his button-down shirt. All white beards with drizzles of black here and there.Wren couldn’t have guessed, even in the next ten guesses, that the person they were looking for was an old man.Beaumont saw these two strangers standing in front of his door, looking nothing like the “food service,” they had claimed to be before he opened it.Now alert, he quickly tried to close the door.“Wait, please,” Wren begged.Kael held the door before he could shut it, his strength keeping the door unmovable.“My name is Wren Austin….. remember? The one who sold you information from Solace Heights…?”Jean-Claude’s face went from wary to hostile. He said something in French that she didn’t understand. But it meant get the hell out.Wren looked at Kael and Kael looked back. Neither of them spoke good French and this wa

Wren ran out of the laundry room with the jacket.“Careful,” Kael cautioned as he went over to her, breaking her run.“Look at this.” She showed him the jacket.Kael took the jacket from her and was immediately drawn to the obvious stain on it. But he didn’t seem to understand what it was or why she was showing it to him.“You remember that man I ran into on the stairs?” She pointed to the handprint stain. “That’s from when he pushed me. I think he was bleeding and he grabbed my jacket….” She was talking fast and her words were rumbling over each other. “Can they pull fingerprints from that? The police, I mean. Or forensics or whoever does that kind of thing…DNA, whatever….”Kael nodded positively, “Yeah…” he was still staring at the mark. If the print is clear enough or if the blood hasn’t degraded too much. Yes, they could pull something fr

Another Monday morning was here again. With its collective delusion where everyone pretended they were ready to be more productive than they were last week. Morell Industries building was alive with employees all doing their different tasks for the day. And in the midst of it all, Bianca walked through the hallways like she owned the place. Her head was held up high and her strides extra boastful.Today, Bianca dressed in probably the most formal outfit she had ever worn in her life. Her pencil skirt, unlike before, was down to her knees, her jacket well-tailored, her hair in a neat bun. She had been invited to the Solace Heights project meeting. Felix had come through, just like she knew he would.Bianca was sure that once she joined the project her role in the company would be elevated, and all those people who stopped respecting her after her suspension, with those smug little gossips they always had behind her back, were all going to be taught a lesson. Especially Sand
