SIMON THE ZILLIONAIRE FROM NOWHERE 67
Tiana arrived and went into the bedroom, threw herself unto it, thinking solely about Jennifer. They had really murdered her morals. They have done something to her that she would never forget about them. They set her up and got her raped. Her first Frede was taken violently and her marriage crashed. She lost her husband to her. Her portion of the Mo's business, she lost to Harry. She had no job, no money and no one to call a family. They have really stripped her naked and left her out on a cold morning. She definitely must have suffered humiliation and pain. And she got pregnant. She became a single mother. How can she ever let the past remain where it is, the past? She laid there ruminating about all that her sister might have gone through for the past four years and a tint of remorse appeared on her conscience. Eddie asked to see the boys after the Zu's have left. The boys were called and when they saw Eddie, they screamed for joy and ran to hug him. Eddie smiled

When Jennifer heard what Eddie said about accompanying her for the dinner, she felt her belly sweet. Her eyes became teary. She had tried to keep her tears while narrating her experience in the past to Eddie. But when he said he would accompany her to the dinner, she couldn't hold back her tears. She let it pour down her cheeks. Eddie reached out his hand and took hers, giving it a little squeeze. He knew her emotions were being poured out and the memories of the past overwhelmed her. She smiled through her tears. Eddie paused in eating and took a tissue, passing it to her. She collected it and cleaned her tears. Eddie looked at her with admiration in his eyes. He can imagine how it was difficult for her after she discovered she was pregnant. A Frede when she has no family, no job, no source of income. A Frede when she doesn't know who got her pregnant. She endured and was courageous enough to carry the pregnancy and birth the babies. What if she had taken the d

He had a desire and an urge to sleep with Agatha. But he restrained himself. He wasn't going to hurt her like he did back then. He wants her to be ready for him. He wants her to desire it and then he would be ready. Until then, he wasn't going to cross any limits by taking her. He held her close but his desire was like being kindled afresh. A certain part of him was rigid. He stood up quietly from the bed and went to the bathroom. He had to shower to calm his tense body. When he came out of the bathroom, Agatha was already asleep. He deliberately avoids looking at her transparent night wear and goes to his study. He wants to check his emails. As for work, Julia was doing well in handling the company in his absence. But he definitely was going to be in the company that day. He may not do anything too strenuous but he has to be there to see how everyone is doing. It's been close to a week already. He went through his email and was surprised that an email dropped from a

They soon arrived at the company and Eddie stepped out and Jennifer at the other door. Some employees just arriving saw Ms Jennifer ride in the same car with the President. Many started speculating but none can ask or say anything to the hearing of the both lovers. Together they stepped into the elevator meant for the President alone. As they stepped on the Presidential floor, the first person Agatha and Eddie saw waiting was someone they least expected...On the Presidential floor sat Harry in a cute Italian suit. Clara knows him but Eddie has not met him officially. He looked cute and attractive in his suit and he can pass for a second glance. When he saw President Li, walked out of the elevator and Jennifer also, he stood up. His eyes were fixed on Jennifer who just walked in completely ignoring the presence of Eddie who was walking in front of her. Eddie looked at him and saw him staring at his woman. Though he hadn't met Harry before, he knew at once that he was her ex

Jennifer followed his gaze and saw he was staring at her cleavage. She had never seen such a shameless fellow in her life. She blushed and her ears became red. Subconsciously she looked at Eddie who sat a few distance from her and saw his eyes gone red. He was glaring at the man with a killing intent. His palm clenched into a fist. Clara saw his brother's gaze and knew if this characterless man was anywhere close to him, he would have punched his face already. He stood up to correct the lusting fellow when his brother hit his fist on the desk. Everyone was shocked. Some jerked in fear and the lustful fellow suddenly came back to his senses. He swallowed hard and looked around and saw everyone was staring at him with an unhappy gaze. He felt a little ashamed of his shamelessness. That has always been his weakness. He can't see beautiful women with curvy shapes without getting lost. "I was saying.."he wanted to resume his speech when Eddie thundered. "Enough!! This d

Julia went to have lunch but Jennifer remained in the office busy until her lunch was brought to her by Pascal Lee, Eddie's assistant. She paused and ate her lunch. She took a quick nap and returned back to work. Eddie sent her a text saying his girlfriend is a superwoman but should learn how to take a brief break to relax her muscles. Clara arrived at the restaurant and saw Rita waiting for her. She looked glamorous and sweet. But he had never taken a fancy to her besides taking her to his bed. She is good at that and capable of fucking him to the extent that he loose his strength to be fucked. He had never seen a woman who fucked him rather than he doing it like Rita. "Hi"she called out to him as soon as she saw him. She didn't know that he had seen her before she saw him. Julia took the seat opposite her and asked how she had been? Rita smiled and said she's doing just fine. The waiter came and took their orders. Soon they were having their lunch. Rita was all smil

"If you are not ready to say anything to me, then leave my office"Eddie declared. He was getting impatient to hear him out. "Rita is pregnant!!"Clara blurted out. He clenched his teeth and looked away. "Congratulations brother, you will soon be a father as well"Eddie chimed. " No congratulations yet Eddie. She told me to marry her otherwise, she will abort the pregnancy. She is threatening me with my unborn Child"Clara declared. Eddie squinted. How can she tell Julia she was pregnant that day and immediately put her condition forward? Did she trapped him with the pregnancy? "How old is the pregnancy?" Eddie asked. The look on Julia's face doesn't look friendly. "It's six weeks,"Julia replied. He would hit his fist on the desk and hissed again. Eddie was quiet for a long Frede. Maybe Julia wouldn't have to be like him to have two adorable boys and still remain single. Maybe he should Marry her if he wants the baby. "Are you going to fulfill her request?"Eddie aske

Agatha was the first to look away. She became shy. Looking at him with his charming eyes could make a woman want to melt into his arms. Eddie looked away and concentrated on the design on the computer. He scrolled down and saw more beautiful designs on the screen. Jennifer was feeling uneasy. She was feeling slight stomach cramps. She was expecting her period that day and carried a pad in her bag. She asked that Eddie excuse her. She took her bag and the latter asked her where she was going. She Said to the restroom. "With your bag?" Eddie asked. Agatha smiled and said yes. She stood up and passed Eddie to the bathroom. But alas something had happened. She had been stained slightly. A drop of blood was on her skirt and Eddie saw it. He squinted and understood what was going on. He called her back. He held her by her waist and asked her why she didn't just pick the pad rather than going into the restroom with the whole bag? Agatha squinted. Who told him she might be i

“Eddie, you need to think this through,” his secretary, Lisa, urged as she shuffled through papers on his desk. “Keeping your distance from Agatha might not be the best strategy right now.”Eddie leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. “You don’t understand. I can’t afford to get too close to her, not after everything that’s happened.”“Look, I get it. But you’ve already agreed to help her with her family’s company. If you cut ties now, it’ll look suspicious,” Lisa replied, raising an eyebrow.Eddie sighed heavily. “It was a mistake to agree to that in the first place. I should have never involved myself in her family’s business.”“Eddie, this is a complicated situation. You know Agatha needs your support,” Lisa pressed, her voice steady. “She’s promised to start fresh, to make this work. You can’t just back out.”“Her promises don’t mean anything if it jeopardizes my own company,” Eddie countered, his voice rising slightly. “I have to think about my future, my business. I can’

“Eddie!” Jennifer called out as she stepped into the house, her heart racing.Eddie emerged from the kitchen, looking worn out and a little worried. “You’re back! How was your trip?”“It was beautiful, but… we need to talk,” Jennifer said, struggling to keep her voice steady.“Talk about what?” Eddie asked, leaning against the kitchen counter, sensing the tension in the air.“Andrew… he wants to marry me,” Jennifer blurted out, the words escaping before she could rein them in.Eddie’s brow furrowed. “What? You’ve got to be kidding me. You just got back from a vacation! Why would you even consider that?”“I know it sounds crazy, but he’s serious. He wants me to leave everything and be with him,” she replied, panic rising in her chest.“Leave everything? Jennifer, are you really thinking about this? What about us?” Eddie’s voice rose slightly, betraying his frustration.“I’m not saying I will! I just… I need time to figure things out,” she stammered, trying to make sense of her feelings.

Eddie leaned back in his chair, staring out the window as he waited for Agatha to arrive. The morning sun filtered through the glass, casting shadows across his desk, but the warmth offered little comfort. His mind raced with possibilities, scenarios of how this confrontation would play out. He could almost hear the tension humming in the air, a warning that things were about to get messy.When Agatha finally entered, she was all business, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor. Her expression was calm, but Eddie noticed a flicker of something in her eyes—nervousness, perhaps, or anticipation.“Eddie,” she greeted, her tone cool. “You wanted to see me?”“Have a seat,” he replied, gesturing to the chair across from him. He needed to maintain control, to keep the upper hand in this conversation.Agatha sat down, her posture elegant, but there was a slight tension in her shoulders. “What’s this about?”“Let’s not pretend, Agatha. You know exactly why I wanted to talk to yo

"Eddie, calm down. You're jumping to conclusions." Agatha’s voice was smooth, too smooth for Eddie’s liking. She sat across from him, legs crossed, sipping her tea as if the world wasn’t on fire.Eddie clenched his fists, barely able to control his rising anger. His office felt smaller, suffocating, as if the walls were closing in on him. “Calm down? Agatha, one of my subsidiaries just got shut down for a violation, and it happens to be the one your man, Charles, oversees. You expect me to believe that’s just a coincidence?”Agatha didn’t even flinch. She set her cup down delicately, her sharp eyes meeting his. “I understand your frustration, Eddie. But accusing me without evidence won’t solve your problem. Charles has been nothing but loyal, and whatever happened at that company was not my doing. You’re letting your emotions cloud your judgment.”Eddie’s jaw tightened. “You think this is about emotions? Agatha, I’ve been in this business long enough to know when something stinks. I j

"Jennifer, you need a break. We've both been working nonstop, and honestly, I think a vacation would do us both some good." Andrew's voice was steady but held a hint of concern as they sat across from each other in the quiet corner of a café.Jennifer stirred her coffee absentmindedly, her mind elsewhere. "I don’t know if I’m ready to go anywhere, Andrew. There’s too much going on, and I can’t just leave. Especially with everything at the office." She sighed, the weight of Frank's death still lingering in her voice, even though she had started to heal.Andrew leaned forward, his eyes locking onto hers. "You can't keep burying yourself in work, Jen. It's not healthy. You’ve been carrying a lot on your shoulders, and I get it. But you need to take care of yourself too. Just a few days away. Let’s go somewhere quiet, where you don’t have to think about business or Frank for a while."Jennifer hesitated, chewing her lip. She knew Andrew was right, but the thought of leaving everything beh

“Grace, I need to know exactly what’s going on,” Eddie demanded, pacing around his office. His voice was sharp, filled with frustration. “We can’t afford any more surprises, and this Wilford situation has already cost us enough.”Grace, sitting calmly across from him, nodded. “I understand, Mr. Cameron. I’ve already started pulling reports from the other subsidiaries. But, honestly, I think we need to have a bigger conversation about oversight. This isn’t just about Wilford anymore.”Eddie stopped pacing and turned to face her. “What do you mean?”She handed him a folder. “I’ve been digging, and there are minor discrepancies in a few other subsidiaries as well. It’s not at the level of Wilford, but it’s enough to raise concerns.”Eddie flipped through the documents, his brow furrowing deeper with each page. “How did this happen under my watch? I had systems in place, checks and balances—how did we miss all of this?”Grace gave him a sympathetic look. “Honestly, I think the company has

Eddie sat at his desk, staring at the numbers on the financial report in front of him. His heart sank as he scanned the figures again, hoping he had somehow misread the data. But there was no mistaking it—his company had taken a sharp hit, and the numbers reflected a significant loss.“This doesn’t make sense,” he muttered to himself, furrowing his brow. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed his personal secretary, Grace.Moments later, Grace appeared at the door, clipboard in hand, her face calm as ever. She was always efficient, always on top of everything, and Eddie trusted her implicitly. But today, something felt off, and he needed answers.“Grace,” he said, his voice sharp with urgency. “What’s going on with the numbers? Our revenues have dropped drastically. I need you to dig into this and find out where the problem lies.”Grace nodded, her fingers already flying over her tablet as she pulled up the latest data. “I’ll get to it right away, Mr. Cameron. I’ll have a detailed

Eddie paced back and forth in his office, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had just read Jennifer’s text: *"We’re heading to Aruba. I’ll be fine, Eddie. Don’t worry."* His gut told him something was off, but he didn’t want to overreact—at least not yet.He opened his contacts, his thumb hovering over a few trusted names. Maybe he could ask one of them to keep an eye on Jennifer while she was away. But before he could make a decision, Agatha appeared at the doorway, her presence calm and poised.“Eddie, what’s going on?” Agatha’s voice was smooth, almost soothing. She noticed the tension in his shoulders, the way he clenched his phone like it was the last tether holding him together. Eddie exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair. “Jennifer just texted me. She’s heading to Aruba with Andrew. Something feels… wrong.”Agatha raised an eyebrow, stepping further into the room. “Aruba? With Andrew? That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?” Her voice had a lilt of casualness, a

Andrew watched Jennifer run toward the car, her decision clear as she fumbled with her phone. His face twisted in frustration, his mind racing. He had spent weeks meticulously planning this, gaining her trust, making her think he was her escape. And now, Eddie had ruined everything. His phone buzzed in his pocket, but he ignored it, clenching his fists. Jennifer had already stepped away, halfway across the tarmac, but Andrew wasn’t ready to let this go so easily. With determined steps, he caught up to her, his voice low but urgent as he reached out to grab her arm. "Jennifer, wait."Jennifer stopped, startled, but didn’t turn around immediately. She seemed to wrestle with herself, not quite pulling away from him yet. Andrew took that as a sign to keep going."Just listen to me," Andrew urged, trying to soften his tone. "You don’t have to believe anything Eddie says. He’s trying to confuse you, make you doubt your own decisions."Jennifer shook her head, her voice barely above a whis
