Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

Their celebration continued as the Sullivans cheered for them. Clara could feel the warmth and support, and she could really tell they already approved Callum despite being part of the Haynes family, who treated their family as rivals for so long. 

“Mommy!” Cara ran to Ciara, and Callum put her down after hugging her, which made her lift a bit, 

“Congratulations!” Cara greeted her with a smile on her face as soon as Ciara crouched down and hugged her tightly. 

The Sullivans went to Callum as well, tapping his shoulder as they congratulated him as well. 

“As you promised, since Ciara said yes, don’t even dare hurt her, Chance warned. 

Callum nodded as he looked so happy that it reflected on his face. 

“Oh, let me see the ring! Serra said happily as she went to Ciara as well. 

Ciara handed her hand with a teary eye as Serra held her hand gently, including Mrs. Sullivan, who also flocked in front of 

Ciara 

“Oh, it looked so good on you, soon–to–be Mrs. Haynes, Serra chuckled. 

Ciara smiled, as she could not hide her happiness, and her lips continued to stretch. Mrs. Sullivan caressed her cheek as she looked at her gently. 

“We are so happy for you,” her mother said softly, tears looming in her eyes as well. 

Ciara was completely embracing the new chapter of her life as she risked grasping the love that she once lost. The love that she always dreamed of having. The love she thought she would never have 

And now, Callum, the only man whom she has fallen in love with, has proposed to her and confessed to her sincerely. 

They had dinner that night together with Ciara’s family. Ciara could feel how her family was now comfortable with Callum. “Do your parents know about your plan?” Mr. Sullivan asked. 

“They knew…” Callum answered. 

“I would like to meet them too. I hope they don’t really treat us like rivals. Mrs. Sullivan smiled meaningfully. 

“What’s with the competition, really?” Chance smirked while shaking her head. 

“But you were flying back to Paris, right, Ciara? Does this mean Callum is coming with you two?” Serra asked. 

Everyone looked at Ciara, and then Ciara looked at her daughter, who also looked at Callum, who was looking at them, waiting for their decision. 

“Well… Ciara looked at Cara, urging her to decide on their trip on Monday. 

“I am fine staying for a while. If mommy likes it here, I will like it here. Then she looked at Callum. “Like…in the province?” 

They all smiled and looked at each other meaningfully. 

“You like it there?” Callum asked 

“Yes, I miss Jojo, she said and sighed. 

“And who’s Jojo?” Mr. Sullivan asked curiously. 

“Oh, it’s her own horse, which she named when we were there. Ciara explained. 

“Oh! A horse! Wow! A princess who has her own horse! That’s cute, Serra complimented 

Cara giggled. “Daddy gave it to me. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Callum and Gara looked at each other as they both smiled. 

Ciara Ich Callum’s consistency the next day. He was continuously going to th 

the house to bond with Cara, and he would also 

pick her up after work. She felt like she was in deep euphoria that her life was going smoothly. 

“Callum “Shane went to him. 

“Shane,” he called while his brows knit, confused as to why she suddenly showed up at his office. 

“You’ve been very busy lately. But…I just want to ask if there’s progress in your persuasion with Ciara?” she smirked as she sat on the swivel chair. 

Shane has been calm because Callum gave his word to leave it to him, which is why she wasn’t doing that much. But then, she has her own plans as well, in order to get back to Ciara. 

“As I told you, Shane, leave it to me.” 

“Well, I’m just curious. But anyway, I heard you were pursuing Mr. Johnson. My father knows the head of the Royale. Maybe they could lend a hand?” 

“No. I’m dropping it. The Royale is pursuing the Sullivans.” 

Shane’s eyes widened, and she was already pissed after hearing it. 

“But you deserve that project more than them! You work hard for it! You earned your title first and yet, those Sullivans, that newly elected CEO of them, Ciara, was just using her clan’s family name to have it! Oh, believe me, Callum, she was trying to slap it to you that their clan is way better than them! I still can’t forgive how they covered up Ciara’s crime, struck our company 

because I revealed the dirt of their daughter, and then now, they are stealing an opportunity that was supposed to be yours! That Ciara probably found out you are trying to pursue the Royale, that’s why she is doing this!” 

Callum remained calm, processing things, while Shane looked so pissed. 

“Calm down. I’ll just take care of it. Besides, there are still some big opportunities I could pursue other than the Royale.” 

“Oh, don’t worry! I’ll help you out about it. I told you that my father knows the head of that company, and he’s close to Mr. Johnson. It might help if you were personally referred! I’ll help you, Callum,” she said with full determination. 

It was what Shane immediately did as soon as she went home. She told her father about it, who sighed heavily. 

“Mr. Johnson was hard to convince, sweetheart. Mr. Chavez can’t really do anything about it.” 

“But Dad, maybe there’s a way that Callurn might be chosen instead. He clearly deserves them more than the Sullivan!” 

His father’s brow knits. “Mr. Johnson offered to work with them?” 

“Yes, Dad. It was the reason why Callum looked so devastated and distracted–he had probably been rejected, and Mr. Johnson was considering that bitch of a woman more than Callumi” 

His father sighed problematically. “If they approved this, Haynes Corp. might be in the gutter. Imagine the sudden jump in sales for the Sullivan once they had a contract with the Royale. It was called royale for a reason because when they set their eyes on you, it was like they could build you your own empire. You’d be a self–made billionaire in just an instant.” 

поле 

Shane was so angry that her mind was bombarded with so many ideas. One thing that irks her the most is, of course, none other than Ciara getting all of it. 

But she doesn’t want to lose hope for Callum. She knew she could do something about it. 

Ciara, who was still in the office, read Callum’s text, which made her smile. She chuckled when she realized that Callum was meeting up with her earlier than she expected and that she would pick her up. 

Callum: 

Just don’t bring your guards. I want you alone.  

She rolled her eyes as soon as she read the message. Callum has been so flirty with her that the text excites her, knowing that they have been continuously doing it as if they couldn’t get enough of each other. 

Other than that, she noticed in the past few days that she was delayed. Though she hasn’t gone to the clinic yet to check if she is pregnant, she has this instinct that they might be getting another baby, knowing how active their  life is. 

Though 

she wasn’t so sure that she might be pregnant, she knew that it would be good news not just to her family but also to 

10:32 AM 

Cara, who was already looking forward to having a sibling. 

Ciara called Callum as she stood where they would meet and roamed her eyes around. 

“I am already here. I can’t see your car,” she said, roaming her eyes around. 

“I am not yet done with my work. You’re done now? I will fetch you,” Callum said, his tone sounding like he was still in the middle of something important. 

“Oh? I thought you were done. You sent me a text earlier.” 

“What text?” Callum asked. 

Her brows knitted. She was starting to get confused as well, thinking Callum might be so busy and distracted that he had forgotten it. 

“That you are seeing me here at the address…” she mumbled. 

Before she could finish her words, a handkerchief suddenly covered her nose and her mouth. She tried to resist, but the more she inhaled the scent lingering in the handkerchief, the more she slowly lost consciousness until she passed out from the hand of the man who covered it. 

The van quickly opened as one of the men picked up the phone while Ciara was put into the van, and they left right away. 

“Ciara?” Callum called, confused by what she just said about the text. 

Other than that, the call was suddenly turned off, and she wasn’t responding anymore. 

“We already have her,” the man said in the call. 

“Alright, make sure to follow the plan,” the voice from the other line, which the man called, spoke.
