"Mrs. King, please sign the papers,” the lawyer insisted as he placed them before her. Genevieve blinked twice as she stared at the papers for a few seconds before looking back at the male lawyer. A lump grew in her throat making it hard to swallow. “W-who issued this divorce again?” she stuttered, asking an obvious question. The lawyer stared at her with pity for a second before going on to answer. “Your husband, Mrs. King.” ***** Genevieve had always felt like she had it all. The perfect man, perfect family, and perfect job. Well, that was until Kyle Jordan King, her husband deemed it fit to send her the divorce papers because she couldn't bear him a child. Genevieve becomes devastated and vows to make him pay when she can for making her heart bleed the way it did but what she doesn't know is sometimes, things are not always as they seem. Years later, with twins at hand that belonged to her ex-husband, Genevieve had to return to the city where it all began again and consequently had to work with the man who had broken her heart. With sparks still flying, a forceful dilemma, and chemistry at its peak, Eve had to decide if she was willing to let the billionaire into the lives of her kids. And even more, hers. Will she give in to the sizzling temptation that was Kyle Jordan King or would she do everything to avoid and stay away from him even when it was close to impossible?
View MoreKyle King I arrived at the courthouse with Ava, my mom, and Xavier, who had finally decided to stand by me, but he made it clear that anything that happened, I should accept it. The media houses had heard about the case and were all over the place. Immediately, they saw me, and they rushed over, trying to get a statement. Ava gave one, blaming everything on Tessa. She claimed Tessa was jealous that I chose her and plotted with her family to bring me down. This instigated excitement among the media team, and they asked more questions, but the warning glare from me made Ava keep quiet. We had already had an argument about the case, and she blamed me for being careless. If I hadn't let my guard down and put Xavier in charge, the Roberts wouldn't have found out about the money. I wanted badly to agree with her, but it wasn't Xavier`s fault but mine alone. I made a mistake, and I was going to pay badly for it. Ava didn't agree and promised to fight the Roberts family if they tried takin
Kyle KingI returned home after a week in Paris. Ava made every moment worth it. I visited a lot of places and checked in at the best hotels and resorts. I did some shopping there and ensured I bought items for my mom. The trip was worth every dime I spent, and I promised the manager of the last hotel we used that we would be returning soon. He was grateful because I gave his staff a generous trip, and the casino bloomed twice as much as expected when news got around that the famous kin`s family from the United States were in the hotel.To avoid unnecessary phone calls from Xavier, I changed my line to a private number, which I could use to text Christine and relay orders. She had sent several text messages about Jmaes visiting the company to know the progress of the project. I was a bit scared about his visit. He wasn't supposed to come until today for the general meeting. I had created a new report that covered my personal expenses and the profits I had gained so far. Thanks to my l
Geneveive Tessa RobertI studied him before replying, `Alright, since you`re being sincere, I missed you too. How was Nashville?``The visit was great, but the reports were not favourable, especially from Kyle`s end. Can you believe he's in France at the moment? He left his team leader, Xavier, to supervise the activities of the project.``That's bad. I thought the trip to France was supposed to be after they had made at least ten percent profit. Why did your team approve their requests?`He dropped his fork, focusing on me. `They claimed he sent a report concerning the progress of the project, and the administrative team approved it. I checked the report on our way home, and there are a lot of errors there. Some figures are exaggerated or missing. I don't know why they didn't check it properly. Also, Kyle claimed that the business has been slow, but according to his team, the advertising campaign Xavier created had increased the inflow, so they were surprised yesterday when I mention
Geneveive Tessa Robert`That`s a great idea, Tessa, but I will need a proper analysis of your plan before I can drop my feedback. So, think about it and prepare an analysis of the business. You can create a business plan, and I will read through it.`I sighed. I hated creating business plans, but that's what he wanted, and I had to do it. I would have to do more research to be certain this business was going to work, then show my findings in the business plan. It felt like a lot of work, but it was possible to do. I just had to focus and ask James to help out.`Alright, Dad. I will create the business plan and revert.` I replied, getting up. `Thank you for today; I will be going to bed now.`He smiled. `It's my duty as your father to ensure that you and my grandchildren are well taken care of. I have told you that you don't need to stress yourself or worry about feeding, clothing, or shelter. We`re the Roberts family, and we always take care of our own, okay?`Thank you, Dad,` I repli
Geneveive Tessa RobertDad looked up from his phone. Aren't you happy about the news? The doctor said you will bebe carrying a beautiful boy and a beautiful girl. Twins! You should be happy because I am.`I rubbed my palms on my gown. `I am happy, Dad. I am just thinking about how I had a feeling I was carrying twins, and the doctor just proved us right. It's surreal, I believe.`Dad took my sweaty palms, staring into my eyes affectionately. `It`s a miracle; stop thinking or getting worked up, okay? Have you called your mom?`I said casually, 'Yes, but she's not picking, so I sent a text message. I am sure she will call once she reads it.``Alright. I am thinking you should travel to your aunt's
Genevieve Tessa RobertThe admissions application letter came in like an unexpected morning rain in February. I had just finished listening to Vera after I had rattled about the delay in the admission letter. The DAP Films and Arts School had never delayed the release of their admissions list. According to the last announcement page on their website, the admission list will be released two weeks after the deadline has passed. This was the beginning of the fourth month, and they had yet to release it, which means something was wrong or they lied.Vera had waved my accusation and advised me to take it easy. They would release it when I least expected it, and I should stop worrying about them. After we said our goodbyes, I scrolled to their website to see if they had released
Kyle KingThree weeks have passed since we started the transportation project, and the profits have been slow. I didn't know how to improve the sales, and Xavier didn't have any helpful advice to give, so I turned to Ava. She advised me to focus on the downtown citizens and then move to the rich folks environment. I knew most of them, but I wasn't sure they would like to jump in on the project. I scheduled a meeting with one of the street lords downtown, but it didn't work out.`I am tired, Xavier. I haven't made any visible profit since we started, and the money is almost gone. What am I going to tell James next month?`We were in my study room, going through the expenses and trying to balance the account. Somehow, I had spent part of the money on frivolities and forgot to settle some of the suppliers. They were on my neck now and had promised to report me to the Roberts family if I didn't settle them before the end of the month. The only way I could sett
Kyle KingThe congratulatory mail came in on Monday. We celebrated in the office, and Ava insisted we throw a party. On Tuesday, the chief secretary of the Roberts family called and informed me about the details of the project and confirmed my availability for the contract signing.On Wednesday, I had a meeting with my mom, who brought up Ava's birthday celebration, which was scheduled for Saturday. Mum insisted I purchase the convertible if I can't afford something bigger.On Thursday, the team and I were busy with the arrangements for the project. I had to ensure that everything we were doing aligned with the requirements set by the Roberts family. Xavier helped out by creating innovative ideas to build the blueprint for the project.The Roberts family had decided that the transportation project was going to be purchasing ten coaster buses and creating a Roberts card that would allow commuters to enter with a ten percent discount.
Geneveive Tessa RobertI walked into my room, thinking about the conversation with my family. It turned out well, which I wasn't expecting. I had imagined my dad yelling and instructing James to call his attorney to start preparing a lawsuit, and I would also be roasted for keeping crucial information.Dad had insisted on speaking to the family attorney so that I could get a settlement, but I disapproved. I didn't want Kyle to think I needed his money or properties to survive. If a lawsuit showed up on his desk, it would confirm his opinion that I couldn't live without him. I had done well by not sending threats after he took the shares and the condo. I was also planning on returning the Porsche to him. I didn't want anything that belonged to him anymore.I picked up my diary and started scribbling down everything I wanted new in my life and my kid's life. I was going to apply to an art workshop and resume my painting. Then, invest time in taking Santiago`s free cooking class, and may
