Selena walked towards her phone but she fell again. She got up and crawled towards it instead. She was able to finally grab it. She attempted to dial a number but her eyes were too blurry for it. She removed her head warmer and took a look at her reflection in the glass window.Few strands of hair stood scattered across her wrinkled scalp. She overlooked it and tried her phone again but she wasn’t certain what number she dialed. She waited for the receiver’s voice, to her misery, she had called out to her worst foe, her father.“I will assume you are dying right?” Peter’s loud voice roared through the phone speaker.Selena rolled her eyes and punched the phone harshly to drop the call. She had vowed never to show her vulnerability to Peter ever. She called the emergency services and within a few minutes, they were there.Giving the media something to speculate about was worth it. She was rushed over into the emergency van and oxygen was fitted on her.As she expected, the media specu
Chapter Eighty Eight: When The Sun Is Down.
Bella rushed out of the building and ran over to the cab she had ordered. She screamed out at the cab man to hasten up. Everything was happening so fast that she could hardly catch up at all. First she had seen something on Zillow Jade that she shouldn’t have and now, her best friend just got knocked down by a hit and run.Anita had showed up a few days ago to secretly inform her about some kind of document she found in her mother’s basement. She hadn’t been to the cabin house since her mother’s demise fearing the myth of a lingering spirit hanging around.She had detested her mother for living so horribly that she walked out on her when she was fifteen and never returned home till her death, not until a few weeks ago when Pamela, her new girlfriend convinced her to check out the cabin or probably put it up for sale.Anita’s reluctance was rewarded with a confusing document she saw in the cabin basement, inscribed on it was the name and logo of Zillow Jade. At the far top was the bold
Chapter Eighty Seven: Outgrown Prejudices.
“What are you doing with this bitch Ryan?”Peter’s voice echoed through the room causing a ripple effect on Bella. She stared at him in awe as the expected thought crossed her mind. Wasn’t he supposed to be bedridden? The previous CEO of Zillow Jade.“Dad, what are you doing here?” Spence said in audible whisper.His fear was Peter showing up in front of Bella when everyone assumed he had been bedridden for a long time. He gave Spence a terrifying warning look shutting him up. Bella felt guilt stricken. She had probably witnessed one of the secrets of a cheobal family, that is one of the reasons why a girl like her from the trenches shouldn’t dream of belonging with then, that was one of the things Anita came to remind her earlier. It was conflicting for her since her friend used to encourage her in the past to get herself a cheobal family and get out of the trenches for good but after Leonard Grey’s issue, Anita seemed to have had a change of heart.“Dad! Bella and I are just talki
Chapter Eighty Six: What Family Feels Like.
Spence blushed furiously as he reminisced over the event of the previous day. The serious look on Pamela’s face before she busted out laughing.“What do you want buddy? Are you here to make a request of me as Spence Wellington or an order as the almighty Zillow Jade CEO Ryan Hale.”He almost took her sarcastic comment to heart before he knew that she was only pulling his legs just like old times. Gale was right, becoming Ryan Hale was starting to mess up his real personality- if he has any anymore.“Ryan! Ryan…are you listening?”Spence jolted out of his thoughts. He took in a fresh breath and faced his adopted mother who had a worried expression on her face.“Mum, not you ! I mean…you are trying too hard, I am Spence, your son.”“Son, I understand, it is just that….it was all still overwhelming and confusing for me, I mean when I found you, I didn’t know that you were from a prestigious…..”“Relax mum, it doesn’t matter. I just want us to be together, just like old times.”He picked
Chapter Eighty Five: Unlikely Duo.
Spence rummaged through the files on his table but none of them seemed to hold the mystery he was trying desperately to solve. He yawned loudly, closing the fifty-fifth folder he had just glanced over.Fatigue threatened to overtake him as he felt his eyelids getting heavier by each second. His father’s last word churned in his ears echoing loudly.“Don’t go throwing wrong accusations around Ryan, you weren’t born to save the world.”His father’s non chalancy towards his question infuriated him more. He had thrown him a bait but he didn’t bite it. Peter Hale sure was a legendary trickster. It got him wondering which part of their family’s past was real, for him! If his mother Clara was ever loved before her death.A knock sounded at his door and he had to drop what he was doing. His secretary hadn’t informed him of anyone dropping by and for some reason he was pissed at her. The knock sounded the second time and the door knob turned.As feared, he was faced with his least wanted conf
Chapter Eighty four: Born Weakling
Peter paced his room as anger arose in him. How dare Snape grow this much wings. He had endured the bastard long enough but he had been holding back simply because he promised his late wife that he would.“Calm down Pete, I am sure your son will handle him.” Alice said worriedly.Peter scoffed loudly “when did you start believing in my son’s abilities, he was a useless son-in-law to you, wasn't he?”Alice felt ashamed but she managed to keep herself steady. It had been close to eight months that she reunited with Peter Hale but he wasn’t what he used to be anymore. He wasn’t the sweet boyfriend that bought her flowers with his summer savings.Peter was a greedy aloof bastard now but she had no choice since he was the man that kept her out of jail and worse still, he was far more dangerous to make an enemy.They had shared each other’s bed more than necessary in the past few months but Alice doesn’t regret that part, he was still more than capable to make her squirm in bed and yell out
