Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir Cardiac Arrest
~ Lauren ~I wasn't the only one disappointed at the chauffeur's News. Aiden also was. 'He apologizes for not being able to make it too and permitted me to bring you both to the venue'. He added politely. I glanced at Aiden who apprehensively gripped the hem of his jacket. He really wanted Christian around. 'Why is he not able to make it? He promised me he will come around...' he whined'Something really urgent came up, Mr. Palmer. He had to attend to it.'Aiden inclined his head, still very unhappy. 'This way, please''Sure.' I held his palm reassuringly and followed the Chauffeur into the car. Christian also sent one of his guards who's supposed to make sure we're safe throughout the time spent outside. That was generous enough. One thing I really wanted to know is why he couldn't make it. He had a soft spot for Aiden and he isn't a type who'd break off appointment at the last minute.We were half way to our destination when the man beside us answered a call. Whatever was being

Lauren ~I kept my eyes glued to the walls, searching for the portrait I found the last time I came here. My doubt was knocked out of me, allowing me believe once again I was hallucinating the last time. Mrs Forbes had asked to meet her in this mansion once again. I was reluctant about it till she promised giving out tons of information I needed. Somehow, she managed to find out about my biggest desperation and she was ready to help me find out how to get answers. That was all she held against me. If only there were other options, I would have opted for it.'Ma'am' the short, stout, maid called my attention to her. She had that smile again, the one showing her lost front teeth. 'Mrs Forbes is in her drawing room, she wants to meet you there.'While she tried to lead me in, an unannounced visitor came in. Unannounced is an inappropriate word though, considering this is also his house. We locked glances for as long as I can remember before his intimidating figure came closer to mine. I

~Christian~'Why. You're Still willing to keep it from her?!' Linda continued, a look of mock sympathy etching her facial features. As calm as I tried to play, my inner self was burning with rage, curiosity and the urge to do something that'll make her keep shut. Whatever she's got in mind, I'm not sure about it but I'm sure it's not going to end well.Lauren came closer, stepped in front of me, locked gazes with me. I could see them... Her pale face... The tears lurking at the corners of her eyes, the way her lips trembled without control. She was hurt, pained about something I knew nothing about.. 'Tell me, Christian. Please' she pleaded, positioning my palm in hers, squeezed them gently.. 'I promise not to be mad at you' My heart sank. This was one of the things I've always wanted to protect her from.. getting hurt.I cupped her face. 'Lauren. I'm not sure what you're talking about or what this is all about. Her intentions are not pure. I told you to stay away from her'She shudd
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir She's Christian's mother
~Lauren~Shaky hands held onto Christian's shirt sleeve for support. I didn't trust my legs. They wobbled terribly and I was sure they'd give in without support. My resolve was broken, all my guards crushed to the ground. This was the most unexpected occurrence. She was his mother. All the time I have been in a relationship with the son of a woman I've brought myself to despise. I didn't care if my apprehensiveness was obvious through my actions. I wanted to know what really happened ? Why the woman left over eight years ago.. why she took away Jordan Palmer, my baby brother. A part of me felt betrayed. Christian knew everything. Why did he keep it from me? Was that why he avoided telling me about his mother all the years we were together? Because he knew.. he wanted to protect her. Or Maybe not. I never told him about having another brother asides Aiden Palmer. It was one of the secrets I kept from him and the rest of the world. I always blamed myself for loosing him, afraid I would
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir She's Christian's mother 2
~Christian~My world froze and I lost track of time for a minute or two. The Chairman's mistress? An illegitimate son?. I shuddered, taken aback by the revelation that had just been thrown in my face..'There's a probability he knows where his mother is, if he tells you where his mother is, you find your brother. Pester him well enough, he'll reveal your answers to you' she continued saying, her words cutting deep into my flesh..I sensed Lauren hands hold me. Not for reassurance or for her own stability. It was for mine. I was numb, weak, unable to get my bearing.. I snatched my hands away from hers, unwelcoming her small kind gesture. It was too late. I didn't need it now, not anymore. Linda came closer, a triumph look in her face as she assessed mine.'You didn't think I'll know. Right?' she did a little clap. 'You should thank me for revealing such a huge secret to you. At least, I know you know the bane of your existence, honey. You're an illegitimate child.. Your mother was a ti
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir Rhyno's opening party
Lauren~Her laugh echoed through the room, directing unwanted attention to us. I rolled my eyes, my smile growing wider each passing second. 'You're such a character. That fact is yet to change' I mumbled, stabbing the chocolate whipped cake and stuffing quite an amount into my mouth.'Come on, Lauren. So you're denying that you've got nothing do with the great 'heir' of Forbes' Consortium. I saw it all over the news, girlie. He's quite invested in you. The way be tried to protect you from the reporters can never get off my head'.I giggled. 'That was months before' I got Ambushed by the paparazzi. They believed the rumor that we were actually together. I was heading to the office that day when I got noticed. From one to two, their numbers increased, causing me anxiety. He stepped up by the right time, taking me away from them. It was epic..those scenes you get to experience in movies.I flushed pink, heat spreading from my cheeks to the whole of my body. 'That was long ago. Things a
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir A scandal?
~Christian~ Ava handed the invitations to me a bit reluctantly, causing me to question her hesitation. 'The invitation was brought by one of Rhyno's men, sir' she spilled in one breath. I tilted my head, looked upwards to watch her. 'I'm very much aware of that' 'They aren't so frien...' 'I know that, Ava. This is business, we should leave the love or hate emotions aside. Forbes is also going to benefit from this new opening. Right?' She nodded. 'Yes sir' Our convo was brought to an abrupt pause when Brian surfaced into my office. Once I saw him, I knew there was an information coming so i didn't take time to send Ava out for the briefest minute. Two information came in at once. First was the finding of the man who writes ridiculous articles about the Forbes and second was where exactly Linda visited when the Chairman collapsed and was in the hospital. The former interested me but the latter heightened my curiosity. I needed to know what happened. Although, the chairman tried t
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir Scandalous Affair 2
~Christian~ My mouth dropped open in awe while I assessed the pictures in front of me. Most of them were blurry but that didn't stop me from recognizing the main character of this all. Of all the things I expected it to be, this was the least of them all. How can a woman like her decide to lose her dignity or reputation in the whole of America by going out with a man who is clearly not the Chairman? The first few pictures showed her, alongside another man having dinner in a kind of private restaurant which they only occupied. It was similar to the one I temporarily booked for Aiden's birthday. The rest confirmed my doubt about the duo being in a scandalous affair. There were images of them kissing, in semi intimate positions. 'Where did you say this was?' I asked Brian who still stood by my table. 'A private resort in Las Vegas, sir. She rented the whole resort for a whole week and stayed there with her lover..' I sucked in a breath, replaced the photos back into the envelope.. ',I
