Preston never expected the quick change in her. He was nevertheless, beyond pleased. If she always acts like this instead of some stuck-up billionaire, won't his plans go on a bit faster?He obediently opened up, allowing her to feed him—something that no one has ever done before. If it were someone else, he would have flung the tray away the moment she used her fingers to touch his food. The moment the food touched his tongue, he froze. What the fuck! Salt! It was too salty.He tried spitting it out but couldn't as Lenora held his jaw all while smiling. “It tastes good, huh, husband??”Preston couldn't believe his ears. Tasty? He conveyed a look as if to say he was just getting to know the person standing right in front of him. Evil! His new wife is a demon!He was forced to swallow. Him! If words get out, how will he face the world? Have a taste of your own medicine, that's simply what she was trying to say.When she noted he has swallowed, she took the coffee from the table and
Meanwhile, Lucinda took the most luxurious car to work the next day. A bright red Ferrari. Since this would be her first time acting as the CEO, she wanted a grand entrance and appearance. On their way, the car got slowed by the traffic making her scowl. “Do you want me to be late on my first day,” she snarled at the driver via the rearview mirror. “Take a different path!”“That—I...I'm sorry young Mistress, I'm afraid it won't be possible as we are trapped from every direction.” the driver muttered casting an apologetic look from the mirror.Lucinda harrumphed while impatiently extending her wrist to check the time.Seeing that she still got some minutes left, she glanced out through the window. Almost immediately, her eyes almost popped out when she saw someone familiar. It was Preston sitting in the car with another woman! At that point, Lenora was leaning close to Preston so as to adjust his collar but from the angle, Lucinda was sitting, it looked like the young woman was kissi
“Miss Regina? Please come this way, the CEO has been expecting you.” the receptionist quickly got up to direct them.Lenora treated Preston like air, or should he say, a complete Personal Assistant, as they were led into the elevator that would take them to the top floor. Preston tried to catch her eye a lot of the time, but it seemed like she was deliberately dodging it.Preston felt wronged!No one has ever treated him like that, he was slowly beginning to lose himself to anger but he knew his anger wouldn't go well, so he took long breaths to calm himself down.The receptionist stopped once she arrived at the floor, “Miss Clara will take it from here now.” she bowed and left. Preston and Lenora stepped out of the elevator where a lady in her thirties strutted forward to greet them. “Hello Miss Regina, Mr Hayes will see you now.”At this point, Rhian was elegantly sipping on his black coffee while gazing at the document when a knock sounded.“Come in!”He muttered in a cool voice wi
“Regina, I agree with your terms! I'll pay 500 million, can you please return?” Rhian's anxious voice rang out through the phone. The issues in his company were manageable at first since he had technicians working on them. However, the moment, Regina left, another issue occurred. The company was hacked causing some information to leak. That will cost him billions of dollars if the wrong hands get hold of it!“Mr Rhian. I'm afraid, that's not possible anymore.”Preston's eyebrow raised slightly. Even Rhian paused, then, “I—” what the hell did she mean it's not possible anymore?? Every single minute is important! “Triple the money Mr Hayes and then we'd talk about your company's issues.” For a moment, no one talked. Preston gaped at his wife like she has grown two heads. While Rhian on the other side of the phone felt his lips twitch several times as his hold on the phone tightened.“You!”“What? You can't?” she sighed dramatically, “It's such a shame then, but Fine. Have a nice day
Lenora wasn't simply staring at him. She was glaring! If looks could kill, he would have found himself in Sambisa forest experiencing death a thousand times. “We were being followed.” he did not regret kissing her though. His desire to savour her in every manner was fueled by how soft her lips were. To make her his... His eyes gleamed with a possessive glint.Lenora's anger spiked when she saw him looking at her lips heatedly again. She knows what he's thinking. Before he could notice the blush spreading across her face, she scowled at him one last time with humph, shoved him, and sped out of the car while murmuring "Perv" under her breath.As it was one of the best parks in town, it was crowded with families, some of them enjoying picnics and conversing merrily. Lenora quickened her stride in an effort to escape both Preston and the Park. It may sound weird but Lenora was one of the people who hate being in places like this, it reminds her of one thing she couldn't have. A happy fa
Mom? She may have never seen her mom before but looking at the woman standing in the crowd, Lenora's gut instinct could tell that was her birth mother.Without thinking, her feet were already moving towards that direction. However, Mark presses his hands firmly against her shoulder while saying, "Ma'am, the automobile is this way...” He quickly let go when Lenora shot him a lethal gaze. By the time Lenora glanced into the crowd, her mom was nowhere to be seen. No! No no, wait! Don't go...Lenora was already running in that direction before the driver had the chance to stop her. “Ma'am, no!” he tried to run after her but in the end, Lenora got lost amongst the sea of people at the park making Mark curse. He ran a frustrated finger through his hair while dipping his hands into his pocket to phone Preston. Unfortunately, even after dialling Preston's number several times, there was no response. It wasn't on purpose since Preston was busy handling some issues to handle at that poi
“Young Master, it's bad!” exclaimed Arius as he rushed in.Arius ran in, "Young Master, it's horrible!" he shouted.A phone was resting on Preston's head while he was lying on a recliner. He spins on the chair ever so slowly, casting Arius a chilling, dangerous glance that reads, "I loathe being disturbed during conference sessions."He stopped the call and turned his frigid stare back to it before crossing his arms. “This had better be significant.”According to the information I received, "Young Miss Hydeia and Little Miss Inari just arrived in Harithon."Preston's stunning face was expressionless. Arius would have thought he was unaffected by the news if not for the little twitch on his lips.The young and little miss, in question here are Preston's sisters. And to say they are a handful most times will be an understatement. It's not a coincidence because they popped up in Harithon. They could have heard that Preston was going to be here, which is why they showed up. They are sim
There!Preston pondered. This is the snarky, impolite, and haughty Lenora that everyone has been talking about. That he had never before seen this side of her astonished him. Seems like it only comes out when she is among strangers.“What? You're dumb?” she yelled, gazing impatiently at the door and mentally swearing when she observed how dark it was outside.Although she doesn't like her husband, she couldn't help but worry about him. He must be going crazy searching for her now. How could she have forgotten about him?She gave the elegant man a frigid stare as a result of the notion. She would have drooled at his attractiveness under different circumstances, but right now... “Speak! Who requested that you release me on bail? What do you want, exactly? You can give me your number, I'll contact you soon.”With that said, she strutted around him in an attempt to leave.Preston was left stunned by her actions. Right! She doesn't know who I am, what was I thinking?He caught her hand jus
