Collateral Wife FATE IS AT IT AGAIN
CHAPTER 72LORENA'S POVONE YEAR LATERNever in my wildest imagination did I think I would end up here. This was the last place I wanted to work as an intern, but I had no other choice in the matter. There were no more slots available elsewhere. How would I survive the next six months in this place?I had done my best to avoid the Railings. I made sure I didn't have any business with them and no matter how curious I got or how much I wanted to see him and tell him the truth, I held myself back because I knew it was the best thing to do. I had to constantly remind myself that this decision was the right one, for all our sakes.A list of the companies that would be working with the school to take interns was pasted on the online group but the others were quick to fill out applications for the ones whose requirements they had met. The Railings Corp had quite a high standard and it was understandable because of its status, so a few people were bold enough to apply there. The majority simp

CHAPTER 73 LIAM'S POV. This place was exactly how I thought it would be. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to have any fun here but that turned out not to be the case. The women here liked me as much as other women did and of course, I was the owner's son. That always added to my charm. I'd followed my parent's wishes and started showing up at the company and trying to learn the ropes. I wouldn't say it was working very well because I'd gotten into trouble a few times. My father's men were too loyal to him and they watched and reported my every move. I couldn't make decisions all on my own until the board met and agreed on it. It was frustrating and I hadn't been able to launder as much money as I'd thought I would. Diego Santos was on my neck and I hadn't had the time to go see him because of my busy schedule and the fact that a lot of people were watching me. I didn't want to hint anyone of the fact that I'd been meeting up with someone like Diego Santos. Everyone in business knew
Collateral Wife WE MEET AGAIN
CHAPTER 74 JONATHAN'S POV "Where are you going Jon?! We're having a conversation!" Eva yelled, running after me as I descended the stairs. I didn't reply, I couldn't because the anger that surged through me would not let me speak. I was right all along. Liam hadn't changed at all and I had just wasted an entire year. "Please, listen to me! You can't go over there in this state. Do you want everyone to find out about this?" "I couldn't care less. I've decided that I will not longer cover for him. If he wants to do drugs and sleep around with every woman he sees, that's his cup of tea. But he will not do so bearing my name." I replied with absolute finality. "Okay. I know he made a mistake but you can't throw away the fact that he tried. He's been clean for months." "No he hasn't. He just got better at hiding his tracks but I didn't let my guard down. I have the proof in my hands now and I'll make sure he pays for his crimes." "The police has already raided his hideout and they've
Collateral Wife MAYBE IT'S TIME WE STOPPED RUNNING
CHAPTER 75 ZOILA'S POV It wasn't easy calming my mother down. They were really pissed and it took everything in them not to show it with Bella around. Apparently, Lorena had forgotten something really crucial; Bella is a blabbermouth and cannot keep a secret. She was not supposed to mention the fact that Lorena had started working at the Railings Corp as an intern. It was supposed to be a secret but somehow, Bella let it slip. I'd panicked when I received the phone call. Mom was really upset and worried. She couldn't understand why she had to go there of all the other places she could have gone. I was already leaving the station when I got the call so I drove directly to The Grand Hall. They had come up with an excuse to make Bella leave earlier than normal but I bumped into her on my way inside. "I messed up." She said. "I'm so sorry, I have no idea how it happened." "Bella, Lorena trusted you." I told her. "And I promise, I never wanted to break her trust but I was caught off
Collateral Wife MY NIGHTMARE CAME TO LIFE
CHAPTER 76 EVA'S POV I didn't want to be here, but I had to show up anyway. No one had to know that my life was falling apart so I wore a smile and came to this place even though I didn't want to. I had barely managed to stop Jon from beating Liam to a pulp. He was angry and was ready to disown and arrest him but thankfully, he didn't create a scene at the office. Lorena was able to calm him down, something I couldn't do. It angered me even more. Why did that woman have to show up again? Her face scared me. She reminded me of a past I desperately wanted to forget. Even though I tried to convince myself that she had no connection to the past, I couldn't shake the feeling that my life was about to change because of her. And so I had done something I hadn't done in years. I'd called my men from years ago, the ones I'd had keep an eye on the shepherds. I found out that Ariana had left her family for some reason and had returned to London. Was that a coincidence? Was it mere chance tha
Collateral Wife WHOSE DAUGHTER IS SHE?
CHAPTER 77ARIANA'S POVThis encounter was inevitable. I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later and I'd mentally prepared myself for it, but I didn't think it would happen in this way. As I stared into the face of the woman who had almost destroyed my life, I realized that nothing could ever prepare me for how I was going to feel.The memories of our past flooded my mind. It didn't help that I had forgotten about everything for years because of my amnesia. Now, it was so overwhelming and the pain was heart wrenching."I was right all along. It had to be you." She said after almost a minute of silence."Hello Eva. It's been ages.""What are you doing back here?""Why can't I be here?""Whatever it is you're planning, you better not even think about it. Don't forget your place Ariana.""My place? Who gets to decide where my place is? Look, I'm just here trying to live my life and pick up the pieces. I have no business with the past because I've moved on and I suggest you do the sam

CHAPTER 78ANDREW'S POV"Will you just smile a little André? We're not going to a funeral." Aunt Maria said. She sat beside me in the car as Alfredo drove us to the Sanchez mansion. "We both know dinner isn't going to end well, it never does.""Well it might this time. You haven't seen him in quite a while.""I've been busy Auntie. The company is thriving just as he wanted so it probably doesn't matter to him if she sees me or not. This dinner was mum's idea I'm sure.""Does it still upset you that he doesn't show his love? You said you were over it and you didn't care anymore.""Of course, I don't care at all." I replied.She chuckled and patted me on the back. "You don't have to pretend to be okay with it. Talk things out with him today. I'm sure he misses you too, you used to be so close."I found it hard to believe what she said even if I wanted to. My father stopped caring about me years ago when I decided I wouldn't follow in his footsteps. He stopped seeing me as a son and mad
