Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

Hearing what Chance just said put fear in Ciara. She hasn’t thought of it that deeply. Though she knew that her daughter would choose her over anyone else, she knew that no matter what Callum did, Cara would always stay by her side as she promised her. 

And she knew that their connection was already enough to scare Callum. Though she hasn’t really thought of it that way, 

Will Callum even force the responsibility he has for Cara as her biological father when my daughter starts hating him? I don’t know what suddenly happened, but my daughter seems to have bad blood with her father all of a sudden. 

And how…. Did Cara know about Callum having a girlfriend? Where did she get that idea? And who? 

The Sullivans clearly don’t like Callum Haynes, as they can smell that he’s up to something bad knowing that Ciara’s event was ruined by the woman who gatecrashed the party with the invitation that probably Callum gave her purposefully. 

Though there was still room for Callum that Ciara had given him to hear his side, she was slowly afraid that what happened in the past would only repeat, and she could not imagine how brokenhearted it would be for her this time knowing their daughter was involved. 

The disappointment in Serra’s face was vividly expressed. Ciara was a bit guilty that she felt like she contributed to what happened to the event as well because it was she who purposely put Callum Haynes into the VIP area to make sure that he would be there so they could talk. 

She could see clearly why Callum was making his way to her because she was giving him a ladder to climb up. Though she had done it in the past as well, she could really tell that she never learned her lesson, despite how Callum broke her heart in the past. 

“You don’t know if Callum wanted you or he wanted what you could give. Don’t confuse love just because it feels warmth. It might burn you on the process, Ciara,” Chance said meaningfully, giving her advice that might knock some senses in her. 

She understood her family’s sentiments because Cara was involved. She is willing to put her boundaries back again now that’ Cara is suffering the most from the situation, as she felt her daughter’s trauma earlier when Shane showed up, which scares 

her. 

Unknown: 

How is she? 

Unknown: 

Pick up my call, please. 

Unknown: 

Are you okay too? 

Ciara stared at the texts Callum had sent her. She couldn’t take it in a concerted way because of what Gwen found out-the reason why Shane had gotten into her own event. 

What happened didn’t affect the market sales as the CARA perfumes were now hitting the target sales like the luxurious brands, and it also trended on social media as all of the stocks were sold out as soon as it was released, Clara couldn’t celebrate too much because of what happened that made her daughter cry. 

So when everyone left and she went back to the room where her daughter was still sleeping, she answered Callum’s call while she was in the middle of the bath 

She put the phone against her car while she could hear the relieved sigh Callum gave like he wasn’t expecting it 

1/3 

15.41 Fri, May 31 A 

“What is it?” she asked in a cold tone. 

just want to check on you and our daughter,” he said, almost in a pleading way. 

She closed her eyes and sighed like she was so tired that she wanted to lash out and curse at him for bringing Shane into her own event, but she wanted to hear it from his mouth. 

“Shane wasn’t on the list for my event, and yet she showed up,” she started. 

Callum remained silent, letting her finish. 

“Our security system confirmed that one of the VIPs handed his invitation to someone else; that was probably the reason why Shane made her way into my own event. Was it you?” she asked directly, as she didn’t want to prolong what was bugging her mind. 

“Yes, I gave it to her,” he said with a hint of disappointment. 

Ciara closed her eyes, saying that she felt like a sudden stab in her chest the moment Callum confessed it directly. 

“You never changed, she whispered, full of agony, as if her past suddenly got pulled back from the dead. 

“No. Listen to me first, Ciara,” Callum pleaded.” 

Ciara’s lips were quavering as she felt like she had failed as well because it was she who let Callum in, which is why Shane crawled back into her life. 

And to hear it directly from Callum, she remembered the betrayal and why she needed to leave and hide in Paris to live a peaceful life. 

“I gave it to her because I thought she would talk to you about what happened, but I didn’t think so.” 

“Really? When you remember how mad she was at me in the past, how she kept on accusing me, and yet you brought her into my own event that resulted in my daughter’s breakdown,” she hissed controllably. 

Callum sighed defeatedly. I’m sorry, Ciara, I’ll talk to her again 

“I don’t really know how to trust you, Callum. Every time I’ll give you a chance, you’ll give me reasons why I shouldn’t,” she whispered disappointedly. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“I won’t waste this chance; just please let me…” 

“I don’t know, Callum. You heard it from the mouth of my own daughter. You’ve disappointed her before I could event introduce you” 

“I’ll fix this, Ciara,” he said. 

Ciara was really torn because a part of her was already thinking she might be able to give Cara the family that she deserves or the father that she would like. But no matter how she tries to reach Callum, there is always a barrier between them. There is always stopping her from getting to him. 

A day after the event, the news about Wilson’s sudden bankruptcy shocked people in the business industry as it was covered 

on the news. 

Ciara might not hear the full details, but she knew that behind it was the fearless strike of her family toward them after her father witnessed how Shane shamelessly showed up at the event and made a scene. 

It wasn’t hard for the Sullivans to always buy stocks and pull the clients of someone else’s business, as everyone would be that desperate to have them or work with the Sullivan, the clan of billionaires.

The news escalated so fast that those who were at the event immediately knew what was happening and who was behind the downfall of Wilson. 

“Mommy, I want to go back to Paris,” Cara said while they were having some bonding at her little mansion on the front porch of Sullivan’s mansion. 

“You…want to go back there? 

Cara nodded. “But I don’t want Auntie Serra and Uncle Chance, or even my grandma and grandpa, to hate me if we leave.” 

Ciara immediately shook her head. “No. No. Of course not. They won’t hate you for that. They would always want what’s best for you, Cara.” 

“But how about your work, mommy?” she asked, looking at her witsion 

“I could bring it to Paris, and Gwen will handle it here. Or I could set up my first branch in Paris. How about that?” 

“You can do that?” she asked, her eyes widening. 

It seems like her daughter has no idea yet how the Sullivans could do everything they wanted so easily without exhausting themselves for having it. 

She nodded and smiled. “Yes. Of course. 

She saw how Cara smiled and nodded. Though she had told herself that she didn’t want to run away anymore and that she wanted to break the cycle and face what was scaring her from the past, if Cara said so, if it involved her daughter’s peace of mind, she would rather turn back at everything. 

“Cara, can I ask something?” She asked when she remembered how Cara cried and told her she didn’t want to meet Callum. 

Cara nodded. 

“About your father, how did you know about him?” 

Cara’s expression suddenly changed. She looked so devastated that it was etched on her face. 

“I heard it from Auntie Serra. And… I don’t want him, mommy, tam fine without him. We are fine without him. If he cannot choose you, I won’t choose him either. We are already family without him.” 

Oh, Serra and her mouth. 

But then again, Ciara cannot blame how Cara reacted, as she doesn’t want to fully disclose information about the past either. She felt like it would also hurt Cara. 

“You don’t want to… give him a chance?” Ciara asked. 

“But he will only make you cry. I don’t want him if he will make you cry,” Cara complained. 

I’m sorry, Callum, but I guess your daughter is just like you. She abandoned you like how you abandoned me.
