Till We Meet Again | The Ceo's Absent Lover

54 | MAKE ENDS MEET

Carlos was dumbfounded.  

"Leave before I call security."

"I'll leave if you tell me who that guy was, the one at the mansion in Central Park."

'Central Park?' Kay questioned inwardly..

"He is my man. No, that you have gotten your answer, leave."

"You don't have to be with him if he is forcing you to live with him. You can come and live with me and I will protect you and give you everything you need."

"The only thing I'm forced to do is to look at your face."

"Carlos Leave, no one wants you here. Let's get a divorce." Kay followed.

"I'll gladly give it to you," Carlos responded. 

Bella clapped and chuckled. "I never thought it would unfold as this."

The couple turned to face Bella.

"I can't believe I cried back then for you both. I have to say, you guys plotting that scheme was the best thing that you have done to my life. So, I must thank you. I'm living my best life. Carlos, that same day...(Bella told him everything she heard that day when she caught them cheating.)" She continued. "As you know I have five children. Their father is Adane Crawford CEO of the AB group. Do you think you can measure up to him? He is a billion times the man you will ever be." 

Bella then turned to Kay, "I know you have been trying to figure out who he was. Now you know. My advice to you is to keep away from my man, for the scandal will be the least of your worries. I'm tired of pretending with you guys. Now please, I have work to do. " Bella walked off leaving no room for comment. 

They were left speechless. There was no way they could dare to offend Adane. 

"You bitch it's all your fault, If it wasn't for you I'd be with Bella right now." Carlos raised his hand to slap Kay, but it was stopped by a strong arm, then he was kicked away. 

"Bella, are you okay?" The man asked Kay in a worried tone. 

Kay looked up at the man who just saved her. Her heart pounded when she saw his face. Her eyes darted down to his muscular abs where she started to drool. 

"Bella, are you hearing me?" He questioned again.

"Oh, yeah. I'm not Bella though, I'm her twin sister."

"That's interesting, I've never heard her mention that she had a twin."

"Maybe she forgot." Kay chuckled feeling embarrassed. Can I thank you over lunch."

Simon looked into Kay's eyes and realized it had a greener shade than the sea blue that he was used to. 'This is interesting he thought.'

"Sure." Simon smiled.

"I-I didn't get your name." Kay wanted to know more about this man.

"I'm Simon." Simon Moore was Verona's elder brother by four years. 

"We can meet at the restaurant 15 blocks away to the left."

Simon nodded. 

At this time Carlos had just got up. Due to the injuries he had received a month ago, he had not fully healed so he knew he was in no shape to face that man. So he decided to leave. Kay would Pay no sooner than later. He then called someone, "Okay, I'm in."

"Do you work at AHM?" Kay asked. 

"No, I'm here for an interview."

"What position will you be applying for?"

"Anything, as long as it will make ends meet." Simon was testing Kay. Based on his past relationships he knew persons approached him for the money, he had to make sure that Kay wasn't that type of person."

"I wish you luck, but I'll have to go now." Kay left, she had to find out more about Adane, how could she let a man like that pass her by. 

Bella was in her office when she heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." 

The door opened and Bella was greeted with a smile, "Hello love."

"Simon, what are you doing here?"

"A smile could have gone a long way," Simon responded feeling dejected.

Bella giggled, "I see you haven't changed."

"That sister of yours seems interesting, Kay was it."

"You won't dare. I know she is not as innocent as she looks but I can't afford for you to toy her around."

"Why didn't you tell me about her?"

"When I left New York, we left on a bad note. So I didn't mention her."

"How bad can it be not for you to mention your sister?"

"Are you interested in her or something?"

"You didn't give me the time of Day, let's just say that now I have options," Simon smirked.

"For your information, she is married, Married to my ex-fiancee."

"Yeah I overheard, They are planning on getting a divorce, aren't they? I guess I'll try my luck then."

Bella sighed. "I guess it's no use changing your mind then. Just to inform you, she is the sophisticated type of person, she is not  your type."

"I can make any beauty change for me."

"That didn't work with me though, did it."

"That's because you were perfect when I met you," Simon smirked. 

Bella smiled, "If you are trying to make my sister be like me, then what's the point, You are just making an allusion, when she finds out, how will she feel? I don't want you hurting her, that's my job when she steps out of place."

"Each person is perfect in their own way Bella, Even I knew for a fact that though you were perfect, you weren't the one for me. I'm just trying to see if this will work out. who knows, maybe I'll become a better man." Simon laughed. "Well, I shall go and visit my sister now. Bye."

"Yeah, I'll see you when I see you."

...

Soon Bella received a call from the receptionist, "Hello Miss Cain, There is someone from the Forbes group here to see you."
