Zac Efron Now 2023 Novels & Stories

Lucas enunciates each and every word. “Wow, I would have actually believed that you guys were siblings. You could have just stuck to that story.” I say making Eleanor laugh, “Also you’ve had a kid? Jeez, you are so hot, I wouldn’t have guessed that in a thousand years.” I say as I look at her body. I already look like a potato compared to her. “Thanks, my daughter is ten years old now.” She says and my mouth falls open. “NO freaking WAY. You look not a day over 25. When did you have her-“

Ezrah was at a loss at the couple’s reaction, wondering if they were mocking him or truly ignorant of the fact that there was something fishy about the whole incident. “She is? Then why isn’t she here?” Zora’s mother answered as she looked around, the same excitement as that of her husband shimmering in her eyes. She was an actress, after all. Her husband turned his attention back to Ezrah. “Only her ex-husband knows.” He emphasized the word ‘ex,’ hinting for Ezrah to know his place as nothing about Zora should concern him any longer.

I was about to tease him about Goose demanding his cut of the bill when I froze. Because walking right toward us were two people I’d only seen in the family pictures on Ace’s wall. Ofelia Rosario was even more striking in person, poised and sharp-eyed, her dark curls pulled back, her expression somewhere between that of a protective big sister and a curious psychologist. At her side was Zach Dayton, tall and broad, the kind of man who looked like he’d been carved out of steady hands and quiet strength. His firefighter jacket was half-zipped, and when his gaze slid over Ace, it was nothing short of measuring.

“Margarette is a funny sort, isn’t she?” “Yeah.” She laughed too, “Margarette, you’re sensing the wrong vibrations. I’m just curious. Who is that woman Finrod’s with?” “You don’t know her?” Caeruleus was surprised. “She’s Queen Aera, the Queen of the elves and the sister of Prince Finrod.” She flustered. Why didn’t she see the resemblance? Now when she looked at them, she realized they had remarkably similar faces. “Come. Let’s pay our respects.” Margarette pulled them both.

"So, what information did you discover?" I asked the investigator while glancing behind me. Zephanie was talking to Patrizia again. And this time, she was also speaking with my mother. "Zerina Cortez, the owner of Cortez Cosmetics, has been hailed as the businesswoman of the year for consecutive times. Apart from running a successful business, she also founded a foundation that helps homeless people. However, some people allege she uses her foundation for good publicity. Zerina is married to Timotheo Buenaflor, the owner and CEO of Buenaflor Corporation, and together they have a daughter."

A hesitation, then the man said, "Bronson, you're not going to like this. She's in Eldoria. Visiting her grandfather." "I knew that already," I snapped. "Tell me something I don't know." The man sighed. "There is breaking news this morning. It's all over Eldoria. Edmund Hale held a private ceremony. Your ex-wife… she is no longer Zephyrine Wilder." My fist tightened on the phone. "What do you mean?" "She's been legally registered as Zephyrine Hale. She's been made his heir." I couldn't catch my breath for a moment. Zephyrine Hale.

She gained insane affluence in just a week. It was insane at every media house. ZOE OLIVER, WHO IS MARRIED TO THE WEALTHIEST MAN IN THE CONTINENT, TAKES OVER ANCLAIR CONGLOMERATE. ZOE OLIVER BECOMES CONTINENT’S WEALTHIEST WOMAN AT 27 Jasmine, whose heart was so filled with joy, was also officially announced as her mother, after she officially became CEO of one of the newly merged divisions as Francis wanted. Her daughter’s triumph gave her so much peace, and her late husband’s legacy finally felt complete.

“You’re Kaia. Don’t you remember me? It’s me, Evangeline.” Her gaze didn’t flinch, but her fingers curled against the folder she was holding. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but you have the wrong person. I’m here for the position of personal assistant to the CEO.” She enunciated each word as though rehearsed. “My name is Briar Wane.” Something in my chest tightened. This didn’t make sense. The Kaia I knew had been many things, sharp-tongued, stubborn, quick to laugh but never… this. Never so calculated. Never so perfectly composed, like every blink had been practiced in a mirror.

A voice came from behind the two. Gael and Leonard turned around in unison and they were both shocked at the sight of Ashton. Ashton was walking over with a woman and the two were holding hands. The woman had fair skin, she was slender with a narrow waist and her legs were long. She looked beautiful as her long hair danced lazily in the wind. Ashton was as dashing as always but his face was a little pale. Gael's mouth was wide open after seeing his grandson. Leonard on the other hand had his eyes fixed on Maya as his eyes flashed with a mysterious light. No one could tell what he was thinking about or what was so interesting about Maya.
