To clarify, this story is updated daily. When I have more time, I update two or three chapters. Some days are just better than others, and I get to write more.
“What if I don’t love you?” Madison asked.Sebastian saw the fear in her eyes and knew she felt something for him but was holding back, perhaps because of her harsh break-up from her ex.At this point, he could not blame Madison but the stupid ex who did not deserve her.Sebastian, due to his experience of falling in love with the wrong person before, was determined to love Madison better as his own way of revenge. Someone like Piper did not deserve his tears, and he could not waste his time thinking about her.All the love he had left, he was determined to use as a strong foundation to build something concrete with Madison.Joining his hand to hers, he kissed her on the lips, and the fact that she did not refuse his kiss the second time equally meant that what she felt for him, was deeper than she thought.“Well, it doesn’t matter what you say, but the fact that you responded to my kisses is enough for me.”Madison felt like a deer, feeling shy for the way Sebastian saw through her.
Michelle was tired. All she needed was enough rest for tomorrow.There were still about twelve scenes to be shot in Miami, some of which would require her stunt double, but all the same, she was not ready for Ezrah’s jokes.“Ezrah, I’m not going anywhere with you.” Her voice was stern as she turned to leave, but his urgent voice sounded behind her.“Please, Zora, just this once. If you delay any more, the surprise will be ruined.”Michelle looked around for Landon before remembering he had equally retired for the day and might be in his room at the moment. They had ways of communicating, and he was certain that Landon was aware of Ezrah’s presence. If not, he would have still come to help her get rid of whoever was behind the door.There were other actors and actresses at the luxury hotel but the lead actors had special lounges. That of Michelle was close to her room.Instead of waiting at the lounge, Ezrah had come to her door. “I don’t like this. What if you kidnap me?” She asked a
You must be Zora," a female carbon copy of Michelle said, dumbfounded. Same brown eyes, facial features, height, and even the voice were the same.If not for the fact that Michelle had gone blonde for the sake of her role, there would have been no difference between the two women."And you must be Odette," Michelle's heart was heavy with emotions she could not immediately understand.It took time to welcome this new feeling in her heart cos though she desired it, this was unexpected.The fact that Ezrah had brought her and her twin sister together at a time like this was a risk she did not expect but was grateful for. The two women stared at each other with different thoughts running through their minds for close to two minutes before their arms suddenly wrapped around each other. Ezrah was totally ignored, or rather, forgotten, and he knew better than to give them space as he went to Lake's room, forgetting to remind them of the time.He ended up interrupting Lake’s intimate moment
“Sir, Madam is not feeling well," the butler of the Gannon mansion reported on the phone. The man at the end of the line spoke in a nonchalant tone."So, take her to the hospital. I’m not a doctor." The line died immediately. The butler was so pale, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.Zora relaxed her back against the sofa, feeling weak from abdominal pains. Trying to mask the pain, she asked hopefully. “What did he say?”The butler instantly put on a calm smile when he turned in her direction. “Madam, sir said he will meet us at the hospital.”Zora’s eyes lit up. Ezrah had not been home for almost three days, and she was missing him so much. This sickness seemed to be her lucky charm to get him to her side again. “Okay. Let’s go.”Zora’s heart warmed at the fact that Ezrah at least cared about his child. Both of them were caught in a scandal two years ago, so getting married was the only way to curb the situation.Ezrah’s stance was clear through it all. “When everything calms dow
Piper was very happy with his remark, but Zora was still Misses Gannon, the title Piper had long coveted.How she wished that night had not happened. If only that useless man had not appeared when she was about to leave for the airport to board the private jet, she would have been the one waking up in bed with Ezrah.It pained her that it had to be the whore, Zora. “Ezrah, are you sure you will divorce her?”Ezrah hated to be doubted. “You don’t believe me? I’m only with her because she’s carrying my child. As soon as he’s born, I will divorce her.”Piper smiled with satisfaction, and since she had mentally stored Zora's number after answering the call, she sent the recording to her.Remembering that the butler had called Ezrah informing him that Zora was sick, she asked after deleting the audio from her phone.“Can you go shopping with me? I didn’t bring enough clothes.”Even if Zora showed the audio to Ezrah, Piper would deny it as she had used a number Ezrah didn’t know to send it.
Ezrah was baffled by the news. Twice, he had asked her for a divorce and saw how gloomy she turned at the subject. This was what he wanted but he couldn’t help the unease filling his heart. Was it because Zora was the one asking? Was she trying to mess up his reputation with the loss of the child? Ezrah was confused. Zora descended the stairs, walking to the dining table. Ezrah did not utter an acceptance or rejection of her request for a divorce and went up the stairs, returning after ten minutes in loungewear. Seemed he wasn’t going out or was it the shock from the news? Seeing the dinner table hosting different delicacies, excitement filled his heart as he took a seat. If she really wanted a divorce, then she wouldn’t have cooked for him. At this moment, Piper was momentarily forgotten. Ezrah avoided Zora’s gaze as this was the first time she was so cold to him. Without alerting her of his arrival, she still ensured that his supper was ready. As he uncovered one of the dishes,
Ezrah paced back and forth elegantly, his mind filled with confusion and fear after ending the call.“You want to blackmail me? How much do you want?” He was enraged and disdained that Zora would resort to such means, but he was willing to pay to prevent the audio from going viral.His parents would not hesitate to demote him despite his hard work in the company, while his lazy elder brothers would benefit without putting in the effort.“What I want, you already gave, but since the accident took it away, there is nothing you can give me.” She did not disclose her suspicions, as she had someone investigating the matter.Ezrah suddenly laughed mockingly. “Your father’s company is not as strong as you think. He has been seeking an alliance with me. You want fifty percent of my hard work.”This could be the reason Zora was pushing for the divorce. Fifty percent from the Gannon Group would elevate her family business to new heights. She felt bitter that he would think so poorly of her.Des
‘Ezrah, if you are reading this note, then I’m dead. I wish you happiness with the woman you love,’ the note read.It was clear that Zora must have committed suicide through the accident. Ezra felt as if the ground he stood on was spinning. He thought she was going to relocate somewhere but not like this.His phone rang instantly. Thinking it was Piper, he wanted to ignore it, but seeing a strange number and looking at the letter on the floor, he answered it.“Mr. Gannon, your wife…”“I’m her father. I will take care of everything,” he heard a familiar voice cut through that of the female one, which he was beginning to suspect was the nurse.Before he could ask about the hospital, the call ended, and even after ceaseless attempts, the woman at the end of the line did not answer the phone. Ezrah felt his eyes heavy, he began directing his anger to everything in the living room, kicking every piece of furniture in sight.If Zora’s father was already at the hospital, then could it be tha
