Zach was relaxing next to the transparent wall that revealed the outside beauty of the world. He was staring at the picture of Hera with a bit of settlement. Her face wasn't smiley, it felt as if she was forced to take a picture. This was something that captivated his interest that day he looked into her eyes. He sighed and put down the picture. Beneath a file was another picture of her hugging a young boy with a big smile on her face.The picture seemed to have been taken when they were both laughing hysterically. He looked at the details in the first picture and second pictures before smiling but then the smile dried up when he realized the disadvantage.Did that mean Hera was married? But she had no ring on her hand. Although Ben was able to find something about her, it didn't include her private life. It was just about her job, her son, and her family name and that was all. He didn't want to go deep investigating someone's personal life without permission and Hera was placed in a

Delilah smiled happily as she received the gifts that fans had sent to her. She was going to celebrate her birthday in a few days and the fans already started going crazy over it. No one could deny that in the entertainment industry, Delilah was taking things ahead of everyone. She was preferred because she was an A-list actress. She had the beauty and looks to make a man go crazy.This however caused a lot of rift between the other actresses as they were jealous of her progress. Some broke their friendship with other people all because they wanted to be friends with Delilah and also get to have the benefits.But the truth was that Delilah was less concerned about them. She really didn't care. She made her rules, stuck to them, and was the Queen of her kingdom. "Thank you," Delilah whispered as she collected the last set of golden items sent to her, not from her gullible fans, but from the numerous rich men who were probably interested in getting a taste of her honey. "Wow, Delilah.
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 26. A BIG RED FLAG!
Hera greeted the rest of her co-workers as she walked into the building that was the boss's office building. She waved at Anna and the latter giggled before blowing her a kiss. "She is getting prettier," Jack whispered enough for the ladies to hear. Mirabel was the most astounded, she gasped as she looked at the young man and then gritted her teeth. "Who do you think you are?" She blurted out.Jack looked at her confusingly, "Jack." "Huh?" "Well, you asked me who I think I was and I said that I was Jack." He responded in the most innocent voice that Mirabel had ever heard. Anna was so done with the interactions and was relieved when she saw an aged man with a group of men that she believed were his bodyguards enter the place. She stood up to attend to them. "Hello, sir. You are welcome. Please come with me." She directed them and signaled to Mirabel on what to do before leaving finally.Mirabel called Blake's office and he picked up after the second ring, "What is it?" "Sir, Mr

Selena let out a deep breath as she stood in front of the director's office. She folded her palm and then knocked on the door. "Come in." A man with a grumpy voice instructed and she entered with a slight smile on her face. She had been called to the director's office for some reason that wasn't clear to her but she hoped that it would be good news. She stood in front of the sixty-year-old man who was putting on a pair of medicated glasses. He looked like a strict medical professor. He was indeed very strict but in this case, he wasn't a professor but her director.He was well-known in the music and movie industry and respected as well. Selena felt so glad at first for having to work under him but as time went by, she saw no need to be there if she was treated like a dog. However, the opportunity came for her to present herself to the audience and to show the people the talent she had. There was a movie that required a female lead…a strong one to be precise and she had fought so ha

Hera arrived at the penthouse that was described to her and was actually impressed by the architectural designs. "To be rich is actually good." She commented. She once experienced this sort of lifestyle but look at where she ended. She shook her head to discard the thoughts. "Please, come in." A maid said and Hera nodded. She followed the woman inside.She was already assigned to speak with Delilah about what she needed and what she didn't. So, she wanted to take everything politely and professionally. She was directed to the garden and there she was…Delilah, the Queen of her violent Kingdom. She had her phone in her ear as she seemed to be receiving a call. She laughed and said something to the person on the other line. Hera swallowed hard as she finally got in front of her. "Here she is. Excuse me." The maid left. Hera nodded gratefully and looked at Delilah who pointed at a chair for her to sit. "Of course…she isn't worth it. [Laughed] I am being sincere, darling. What else we

It was the weekend and the day was a bit dull because it was preparing to rain. The weather forecast was already out for people to be aware and Hera was outside her apartment, taking the dried clothes off the rope. She didn't want to use a drying machine for it so she preferred to sun-dry them instead.She entered the house and that was when the rain started pouring heavily. She sighed and took the clothes to her room to arrange them in two ways. After she was done, she went to Austin's room and found him communicating with someone that she believed was his classmate on a laptop. His door was opened slightly so she could still hear and see what he was up to.Although Hera wasn't the type of parent who would love to eavesdrop on her kid's conversation because she was learning to trust and support him this time around, she was only stalling time to know when she should go in and wouldn't leave their conversation halfway through everything.Austin was only six years old and Hera couldn't
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 30. ASSISTANT NEEDED.
The next morning was another day to start work at the company. It was a new week and lovely weather to enjoy. All the staff was back to their positions to work and so was Hera. "Hey, Hera. Do you have Miss Beyonce's record with you? Her company is about to go for an art sign tour and she needs our help." "Yeah, sure. Even though I am not supposed to do this but I have no choice." She handed it over to her. "Aww, I understand, and thank you." "You are welcome." "Miss Hera, the design of the cake has arrived. There are actually three designs given to me so check them out." A lady said as she arrived beside Hera. The latter collected the drawings and was impressed with them. She looked through them thoroughly and stroked her chin. "If I were to choose one, it would be this. It looks simple yet has so much going on with it. The height and elegance are fantastic but I am not the one celebrating the birthday. I will send these to the BOSS'S FIFTEEN to get through to him..." "Wow."
