The CEOs Rejected Bride. 79. PLAN [1]
The family of Albert Young was at the dining table excluding Ben because he excused himself to visit someone important. So, on the table was no other than Zach, his parents, and Delilah. The air was thickened and one could hardly say anything at all.Zach was toying with the food that was in front of him. He had no appetite but out of respect, he had to force himself to come downstairs just to eat. His face was as hard as steel and he had no interest in whatever his parents might have to say that could go against his will. "Have something to eat," Jennie said as he put some meat on Zach's plate. "You haven't been eating at home for a while," Jennie added.That was true. Zach hardly came home. No one knew where he could be at any time and to make it worse, everyone had an idea of where he could be but not the location of the exact place. "Thank you." "I believe with the time that you have given yourself to depart from us, you must have settled the whole thing and broken up with th
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 80. PLAN [2]: WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER.
Hera was preparing to sleep that night because she was so exhausted. She had spent the day outside the office, trying to meet with some business agents regarding their tastes and what they considered the uniqueness of her work. Austin had insisted on spending the night with Anna because his godmother had promised him a lot of goodies if he came over to spend the night with her. Hera felt that Anna had been asking too much of Austin's presence than usual but she didn't say much about it and just let it be. Austin was always under Anna's safe care and that was enough for her.Just as she sat on her bed and crossed her legs, her doorbell dinged, grabbing her attention immediately. She looked at the time. It was past nine already so who was it? It couldn't have been Anna; the latter would have called before coming and it couldn't have been her boyfriend because she was sure that he was going to be at home rather than walking all around.She stood up nevertheless to answer the door. On
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 81. PLAN [3]: SECRET IS LEAKED OUT.
Hera's phone was ringing loudly right beside her but she was just too tired to reach out to it. At first, she dreamt of herself dancing to the tune but when it started ringing continuously, she opened her eyes forcefully and answered the call. "Girl, where are you?" Anna yelled at her. "Why are you yelling? I am still at home. It's still five in the morning." Hera mumbled while checking the time. "Girl, haven't you seen the news yet?"Hera dipped her finger into her nostrils to remove the dirt that was there before grabbing her pillow. She put the phone on the loudspeaker and then placed it on her bed so she would be able to sleep. "What news is that?" "Your secret relationship is out!" Anna announced. "My secret relationship? What secret relationship is that?" She still was feeling dizzy. Anna silently cursed her friend's nonchalant attitude. "The internet is filled with the news and pictures that support your dating President Zach, our boss." When Hera heard th

"Have you heard the news yet?" Blake asked after barging into Zach's office. He was surprised to see Delilah in the office again but that was not the main reason he was here in the first place. "News? What news?" Zach asked and quickly turned on the television, tuning in to the current channel that Blake informed him about. Zach was shocked to see his parents immediately there, he knew that things were likely to go wrong this time around. "Please, ma'am, what do you have to say about this rumor going around? Is Mr. Zach really in a relationship with his assistant? We have been trying to get a hold of both of them but we can't reach them." One of the paparazzi asked. The bodyguards pushed them backward and warned them to respect their space. Jennie cleared her throat to speak. "Just like you have known and said it, it's nothing but a baseless rumor and everything that you saw on social media is nothing but fake. They were edited pictures. I trained my kids well enough. We are one
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 83. PLAN[5]: RUBY?
Delilah was definitely enjoying the attention that was now laid on her as she sat down with her brother to enjoy the view of the environment. A bottle of champagne was served in front of them with two glasses then some chopped fruits and fried chicken was placed beside them to enjoy with their meal. "It's been a while since we came out here." Delilah started speaking. Gabriel picked up the bottle of champagne and opened it slowly as he allowed the gas to release itself before pouring the content into their different cups. He smiled as he looked beyond the horizon. "I agree though." "Yeah, thank you." She said as she collected the glass of champagne and sipped it. "I heard Mrs. Young announce that you will become her daughter-in-law." He glanced at her. "I was surprised too when I heard it but I think she might have said that because she wanted to calm the ongoing rumors about her son." Gabriel relaxed on the chair and removed his sunglasses. "Really? That doesn't

Hera refused to go to work for the past few days since the whole rumor started. At this point, she just didn't care if she was going to lose her job or not. She was anxious about people's gaze on her and she didn't come online for some time too for fear of being questioned.It was finally another Monday morning, she was dressing up I'm in front of the mirror for work. What added to her depression was that Zach didn't call her. There were no text messages from him at all. This somehow affected her mental state of heart. "Is he really going to get married to her if the wedding holds?" She mumbled as she wore her long-sleeved shirt.Just then, Austin came into her room, dressed in his uniform. "Mum, someone is knocking on the door." He informed her. Hera looked at him and then nodded. "I am coming." He smiled and jumped away from the door to the sitting room. Yeah, that was the only bundle of joy that she had.When she got to the door, she looked at the camera and her heart san
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 85. PLAN[7]: RECONCILIATION.
Zach had been driving along the road with no clear destination in mind. He wasn't drunk this time but he felt that his mind was already hazy throughout the week. It was finally the Weekend and this was the first time he was feeling this miserable over a relationship.He felt lonely and needed someone to talk with. He just wasn't sure if the person he trusted would be able to accept him. After driving around for a while, he parked the car beside the roadside and sighed. He placed his head on the steering wheel and drummed his fingers against it before lifting his head a little bit.He relaxed on the chair and pulled it backward so he would be able to rest. Zach reached out to his phone and unlocked it, he scrolled towards the contact information that he had and stopped when he got to the HER name. He was contemplating whether to call her or not. After a while of not being able to get to a conclusion, he put down the phone and thought about the issue. He had been avoiding her...he refu
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 86. PLAN [8]: IMPOSSIBLE.
It was finally Monday and things had taken a whole other level for Hera. She dressed up happily for a new day of work. She had that spirit and motivation in her to bounce back to her feet which she did. Austin also was getting dressed in his uniform. He was glad that Daddy was coming to drop him off at his school today.He would be able to boast to everyone that he had a rich daddy too who would buy him all the gadgets that he needed. The mother and son came out of their rooms at the same time, stared at each other for a while, and then burst into laughter heartily. "Do you have your things ready?" She asked him. "Yes, mummy." "If you have anything that you would like to tell me or if anyone is bothering you, do you know who you are supposed to run to?" She questioned again as she made his cereal for him. "Yes, my teacher." "That's my boy." "Did you do all your arithmetic equations right? No basic questions." "Hmm." He answered with his mouth full. "Do you nee
