Chapter 120CADENAfter taking the hot tea Lauren made, we both went upstairs.We both went to bed and when Lauren had fallen asleep, my phone beeped. I groaned tiredly.I didn't want to read the message but another beep came and I took my phone from the stand and sat up from the bed.I opened my message and I was surprised to see pictures and videos of Tessa and I in the hotel room.Just like the one Lauren had shown me.I called the number immediately and the person answered."You called immediately," Tessa's voice from the other side of the phone said mockingly."What was that about?" Was the first thing I said to her. I was literally fuming with anger."What do you think it is? It's a blackmail. Divorce your wife and come to me then I would delete them but if you don't agree, I would send it to the news station." Tessa stated."You must be out of your mind! What kind of delusional thoughts are those?" I almost yelled at her but I reduced my voice so I would not wake Lauren up and

Chapter 122TESSA I looked at the contract termination in front of me over and over again.Caden...no. The company just terminated my contract with them.I was sent the envelope today and since I arrived late, I got it late from the security.This felt like a dream. I never thought a day would come when Caden would not want me anymore for the company.I wanted the scandal about us to blow up but I failed as it did not work.Instead, the journalist that I gave the tip to was fired and he hasn’t been able to work in the entertainment industry again.He yelled and blamed me for ruining his life and career but I did not know what to do.Caden did warn me but I didn’t think he would carry out his threats.He also had all the pictures and video taken down and it didn’t even make the news headline.I did not not have to worry because I still had them in my phone.I saw another paper and when I took it out, I was surprised to see the content in it.Caden was suing me for defamation of charac

Chapter 124CADENIt was a tiring week for both Lauren and I. Weekend came and Lauren looked more excited than I am."So, what do you think about changing your position in the company? You can't keep being a secretary when you clearly graduated from a prestigious university and read a nice course too. Don't you want to be the arts director?" I asked Lauren as we laid on the couch.I was sitting on the couch while Lauren was laying on it with her head on my thigh. We were watching an action movie but it just ended but her eyes were still fixed on the television."You don't have to worry about that, I'm not complaining being your secretary, am I? I'm really enjoying doing this work because I get to be in the same office with you and work side by side with you.I really am okay being your secretary," She said with a smile.I lifted her chin to look at me and bent over to her face and kissed her lips. She dug her fingers softly into my hair. It was supposed to be a light kiss but we ended

Chapter 126LESLIEWhen we got to grandma's house, Caden's grandparents were happy to see us.His father and his brother, Aiden were also around.I greeted them, I greeted Aiden too but I tried my best to avoid him after that.He always had this look on his face whenever he stared at me and it made me uncomfortable. And Caden wasn't here with me.I was at the garden while the maids served dinner inside.I decided to look around the garden before I went inside.Just then, I heard footsteps behind me.I turned around swiftly and I came face to face Aiden.I made to leave but Aiden gripped me by my wrist."Let go! You're hurting me!" I snapped at him and removed my hand from his grip."You will have no choice but to come to me when I show you something about Caden. Your high shoulders that you carry about will go down," Aiden said with a taunting smirk."What are you talking about?" I asked him. I was starting to get curious."Come closer." He told me. I rolled my eyes and stood where I

Chapter 128LESLIE "What did you and father talk about? You look moody." I spoke up when Caden wouldn't say anything as we waited in the sitting room as the maids packaged our food for us to take back home under grandma's order."It's nothing serious. You don't have to mind me." Caden replied.I didn't want to force any conversation so I let him be."Please look after Ivy, she can be a brat sometimes," Grandpa said with a smile as we were about to leave."You don't have to worry about Ivy, grandpa. She is a sweetheart." I smiled."Grandpa, you don't have to badmouth me when I'm here," Ivy said with a pout and locked her arms with grandpa. Grandpa looked at her and laughed."Bye grandpa, bye grandma." I waved goodbye at them.And they waved back at us. The maids helped to put the food in the car.Since Caden came alone with his car, he said he was going to go back that way.I disagreed because I noticed he was distracted. He didn't look like his mind was here, I was afraid that someth
