The Demon King Forbidden Bride

Chapter 72

I stepped out of the washroom after having a quick bath, I searched for my cell phone and dialed Addison's number.

“Hello, Miss Audrey” her ever energetic voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

“Take care of the store, I’m taking three days off work.”

“What about your schedule? It’s quite tight” she muttered while biting her lip.

“Shift them to next week, I’m sending three security over” I asserted and dropped the call. I walked to the closet, wore a white hoodie, and short jean pants, and strode downstairs.

“You look a lot better honey, sit over here” she patted at the space beside me and kept her phone away.

“Martha is setting the table, we will have breakfast in a bit” “beep!” Mum's cell phone rang, cutting her short. She picked up her phone and hissed, “calling at the wrong time” she muttered and ignored the call while placing the phone back on the sofa. “You can take the call, mum, it’s fine. This might be important”

“Yes, it is,” she chuckled and connected the call.

“Hello, attorney James” I widened my eyes.

“Yes, thank you. I’m glad everything is settled” she continued to say while staring at me.

“Mum, don’t tell me you were serious about yesterday” I uttered the moment she ended the call.

“Honey, stop worrying. Mum has settled everything, you just have to recover and resume work” I huffed as I placed a hand on my head. Mum handling things is like signing a contract with the devil, although I want Charlotte to pay for her misdeeds, I wasn’t planning on making her life miserable. “I want to know, how did you settle things?”

“Come on dear, I’d promise you that I won’t mess up. You still don’t trust your mum?”

“Of course I do, I just want to know how you handle the case?” I inquired.

“It’s nothing much compared to the trauma you have been through. Well,

Charlotte got life imprisonment, while your worker got ten years imprisonment. As for Andrew, he has gone back to the UK and never to come back to the States”

“What! Mum, that was so mean. What the baby? Charlotte will give birth soon, how will the baby manage?”

“Be calm honey, don’t you trust your mum? However, anyone that crossed with Charlotte should be punished but because you’re being lenient on them, the child would be sent to his father once she's born” I heaved a sigh of relief and sat back on the couch.

“Ma’am, young Miss, breakfast is ready” mum smiled at the servant, with a wave gesture the servant left drastically. “Come on honey” breakfast went on quickly, and I spent the rest of the day in my room surfing the internet and checking out the Rey Grandeur page. Abruptly, I got a call from dad asking me to come over to the company, although I wasn’t mentally ready I have already promised to take over the company. Thereby, I have to be there. I dressed up neatly wearing the formal outfit Mum got prepared for me.

“Good luck honey” she kissed me on the cheeks and watched me get into my white Ferrari, “oh, I’ve missed you baby” I roam my hands on the Ferrari before getting in. I ignited the car and drove off, Mum continued waving at me till I left the neighborhood.

Arriving at the Wellington Enterprise, a few workers were at the entrance waiting for my arrival, they were all neatly dressed while wondering who the new Director would be? They have been hearing about Aubrey and me but haven’t got the chance to see us in person.

“I heard she is a workaholic that owns a fashion store in Boston,” one of the workers asserted. “That’s doomsday for us, once the Director is changed, we will have to work our ass off” a male worker let out with a creased brow.

“Shut up! Imp. You’re always lazy at work but you expect to be paid better than the others, you should be ready to be kicked out of the Enterprise if you didn’t work hard” My father's secretary muttered, she overheard their conversation just as she came down to take me up to the conference room. I had informed dad of my arrival, and he told me to walk straight to the lobby. He informed me that he would be sending his secretary.

“Not looking bad” I glanced around the Enterprise pleased at what I saw, this is my first time visiting the company. I had always declined the offer each time dad came up with it, I’d never thought that I would be here today. I strode into the company and let out a deep breath, “hello Miss Wellington” someone said from behind. I turned towards the voice, I saw a lady dressed neatly in female blazers. I gave her a questioning glare, “I’m Margaret, Mr. Wellington's secretary”

“Hello, Margaret” I smiled back at her.

“This way please” I nodded and followed behind her. The workers who were standing at the entrance were stunned the moment they saw me, the males were drooling while gazing at me.

“Omg, she’s a goddess of beauty.” Another male worker asserted excitedly.

“What do you expect? She's Wellington and every one of them is gorgeous. I’m glad our new boss is a beautiful and strong lady, everyone should learn from her” a girl from the internship muttered with a smirk.

“What are you all still doing? Get back to work!” Margret scolded, shooting them a glare. She took me to the conference, the board members stood in an ovation to welcome me.

My face heated up, I have never been honored like this, I was thinking of backing down. These are all new to me, glancing at dad, he gave an assuring smile. That gave me the strength I needed, I walked towards him and sat down on the seat prepared for me.
