Chapter 81~ Something to lose
An hour later, the yacht had settled in the middle of the open ocean. That was when the food was served. Claire and Oliver had dinner while a cool breeze from the ocean often kissed their skins. They shared looks every now and then as they chatted about everything under the sun. "I didn't know there was such a restaurant in Brentwood city," Claire remarked. "There wasn't... but I opened it for you so that I could bring you here for date nights," Oliver replied and Claire's eyes widened. "What do you mean?" Claire asked. "It means you're the owner of this yacht restaurant, Angel," Oliver answered calmly as if he were just talking about the weather. "No, I'm not. How could you give me such a thing? I can't accept it," Claire objected, her mouth falling to the floor. Oliver raised an eyebrow. He said, "I got this for you because you once said you would love to dine in the middle of the ocean. And of course, it just couldn't sit idle so I transformed it into a profit-making restaura

Chapter 82~ Adam Hart
The scheme to take over the Ford Corporation started over forty years ago. After losing his parents in a terrible car crash, a young Henry Ford couldn't heal from the trauma of witnessing his parents' death. Thus, his grandfather, Larry Ford, took him abroad, leaving the company in Henry's father's friend, Eric Hamilton's hands. Eric Hamilton worked as a stand-in CEO for many years, simply following instructions from the then chairman, Larry Ford. Despite him getting a generous salary for the job, Eric Hamilton wanted more. He believed he deserved to own the Corporation since he had been its CEO for so many years while Henry and his grandfather stayed abroad. Aside from being greedy, Eric had a secret too. To be able to be the CEO, he had caused the accident that took his friend, Harry Ford's life. Eric Hamilton recruited his son, Jason Hamilton, into the scheme of usurping the Fords from the throne. He trained him on how to be the CEO and instilled a seed in him that sprouted int

Chapter 83~ In his office
"...And that concludes today's meeting," Oliver said and got to his feet. He then turned to look at Claire and ordered, "Miss Hamilton, see me in my office after this." He secretly winked at her and Claire’s face flushed, knowing what he wanted. They had just had their usual Monday meeting and the whole time, Oliver kept glancing at her with a hungry gaze. They weren't able to have some alone time after their date since Thalia wanted them to spend time together as a family. Flushing, Claire excused herself and followed Oliver to his office. Her core tingled, anticipating what was about to happen. The moment they entered the office, Oliver pushed her towards his desk while crashing his lips against hers in indescribable need. "I missed you so much, baby," he groaned when he left her lips and kissed her jaw before going down her neck. "I want you so much," Oliver hissed. Claire sighed erotically, loving the feel of Oliver's hands on her body. He slipped his hand under her shirt a

Chapter 84~ Being deceived
Jessica Hart had a spy in the Ford Corporation who updated her on what Oliver was up to and if he and Claire were getting closer. This spy was none other than Victoria Spark. A beautiful thirty-seven-year-old blonde woman who was an assistant accountant in the Ford Corporation had been working as an assistant for the firm for over fifteen years without any upgrade to her position. Tired and frustrated of waiting for a promotion that didn’t seem to be coming anytime soon, Victoria agreed to be Jessica Hart’s spy. Jessica had promised to make her the finance director of the Corporation after her marriage to Oliver Ford was successful. However, the finance director of the corporation, Cole Harrison, was arrested and fired which meant the position was now open and those in the accounts department would soon be interviewed for the position.Victoria thought it was her chance to upgrade so she quit being Jessica’s spy to focus on her work. After all, it seemed Oliver Ford didn’t have a so

Chapter 85~ Denial
Oliver furrowed his eyebrows as he glanced at the documents in his hands. At first, he didn’t think much of it but then he saw that these particular files were confidential files that only he as the CEO had access to. How did these files find themselves in the open? He didn't recall sharing them with anyone and there was no way his father could have released such sensitive information.Looking at Claire’s pale face, Oliver's heart sank. Did she really steal files about the company from his computer?“Oliver... I... I-” Claire choked, unable to voice her words.Her stomach was churning violently and she felt sick. The pain in Oliver's eyes was squeezing her heart painfully. However, the next words that left Oliver’s lips made her feel worse. “That's not true... Claire would never do such a thing behind my back. If she wanted these documents, she knows all she has to do is ask-““Are you serious, Oliver? The truth is right in front of you, yet you’re in denial. How else would such file

Chapter 86~ Broken
Oliver’s heart was pounding so fast it soon became deafening to his ears. He couldn’t believe it. He didn’t want to. Claire wasn’t the type to sneak around and scheme. She was an honest person who went for what she wanted regardless of the consequences. As a CEO, Oliver kept a lot of sensitive information on his computer such as trade secrets, formulas for the company's products and other confidential files that if let out in the open could potentially harm the company. He never let anyone close to him because of this matter. Apart from his two friends and family, Claire was the only woman to set foot into his penthouse. This was because he trusted her with everything in him. Heck, all his gadget’s passwords were her birthday. If he wanted to hide things from her, he would use another password. Nevertheless, he didn’t think she would steal the information rather than openly check it with his knowledge.If she needed information that was crucial for her case, Oliver would have le

Chapter 87~ A letter
“Mom, Dad, can we talk?” Oliver requested as soon as he entered the Ford mansion. His eyes were red and his chest was heaving, his heart pounding hard against his ribcage. “Hello to you too, bro,” Zara said and rolled her eyes. “Why do you look like you just lost your favorite toy?”“Zara... your brother doesn’t look good, don’t mess with him,” Roxanne scolded as she got up from the couch, looking at Oliver with concern in her eyes. They were seated in the living room watching a movie as a family after dinner. However, seeing the way Oliver looked, Roxanne was no longer in the mood for a movie.“What is wrong, son? Did something happen?” She asked worriedly. Oliver huffed and ran his hand through his hair, roughly tugging at the roots in frustration. After driving off earlier, he had driven around the city to clear his head.However, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't forget the fact that Claire didn't love him... she was only with him to avenge her father.“I need to ask you

Chapter 88~ Another secret
Claire waited for Oliver in the morning, thinking he would still show up so that they could take Thalia to school regardless of their relationship status.However, it had been an hour and he was nowhere to be seen. "Mommy, is Daddy not coming today?" Thalia asked, looking up at her with a pout on her lips while she held a book in her hands.The little girl was eager to show her father her homework. They were tasked to draw their families and Thalia made a colourful painting of her parents, herself, her grandparents, aunties and uncles.Claire's heart clenched with pain. She knew he was angry with her but she didn't think he would bail out on their daughter after promising to always be there for her. Forcing a smile, she replied, "I think your Daddy is caught up with work today. It's just me and you today." Thalia frowned. "But Daddy promised to always take me to school. Have you called him?"Claire sighed. The truth was that she had been calling him since last night but all her call

Chapter 89~ His chance
“Sir, you need to see this,” Thomas barged into the CEO’s office with his tablet in his hands. Oliver groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. He glared at his assistant and questioned, “What is it this time? I thought I said I don’t want to be disturbed.” “I know, boss, and I wasn't going to disturb you until I saw the trending news. It will blow your mind. Remember the new law firm that we’ve been trying to partner with for sometime now?” Thomas excitedly said just as he approached the oak table. “It belongs to Miss Hamilton! She’s the founder and the CEO of CT Associates firm!” Oliver’s eyebrows creased in confusion. He grabbed the tablet and sure enough, the headlines were talking about the CT associate's secret boss who had just revealed her identity. Below the article was Claire’s portrait in a navy feminine business suit. She looked so beautiful and professional in the picture. ‘So, there was a lot more that she was hiding from me,’ Oliver mused, his stomach twisting at th

Chapter 90~ No invitation
Silence fell upon them after Wesley made that bold declaration. A few seconds later, Claire sighed deeply. She had hoped Wesley would move on and give up on her but it seemed he had just been waiting for an opportunity to pursue her again. Looking at him, she said, “Wesley, you’re a good guy. And I won’t lie, I did think of working things out with you but it was only because I wanted my daughter to have a father. I wanted to use you-” “I’m ok with you using me… you can use me all you want. I don’t mind,” Wesley offered, a wide grin crossing his lips. “I do mind though… I wouldn’t have gone through with it even if Oliver and I didn’t get back together…”“But you’re not together anymore, right? He’s been ignoring you, not so? Just because of a little fight? If he loved you, he wouldn’t get angry at you,” Wesley stated and Claire furrowed her eyebrows. She narrowed her eyes at Wesley, suspicion creeping into her as she questioned, “How did you know that?”No one knew Oliver was ignor
