Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

Ciara could feel the heavy tension between her family as soon as she fully mentioned the part where she was accused by the woman-the first love of the man whom she fell in love with. 

“You didn’t take legal action?” Mr. Sullivan asked, his expression turning dark. 

y didn’t y 

tell this to us during that time, Ciara? We could have done something about it,” her mother said worriedly. 

Serra shook her head disappointedly. Even though she has an idea about the woman, she has no clue about its depth. 

“If only you’d told me about it, I should have put her in the right place. She has no right to point fingers at you. There must be another angle to her accusations. Sullivans are well-mannered, and this is not just any Sullivan; this is Ciara she’s accusing. Serra said while gritting her teeth. 

Ciara gestured to let her finish for a while, which is why they calmed down a bit and shut up when it showed on their expression how they wanted to storm out and trace the woman who accused Ciara. 

“It was the reason why I left Paris because…I felt like no one sided with me when I said I didn’t do it. Even the father of Cara sided with her.” 

Ciara saw the disappointed reaction of Chance, especially Louis, whose brows were now furrowed. 

“That motherfucker, really?” Chance whispered as he heaved a sigh and smirked mockingly. 

“But then…that’s not my main concern here. I have long forgiven them in the past. I moved on without any baggage in me. I never hated them that deeply. I gave up everything they could come after me willingly, even the shares I had from that company. It doesn’t really matter to me,” Ciara explained carefully in her serious voice as they were nodding like she did the right thing. 

“The main problem here is about Cara. She looked at them carefully. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

The anger in their faces was now vivid, as they all shared the same sentiments. 

“That woman brought trauma to Cara. We saw her in the mall, and she displayed so much violence in front of me that Cara got afraid that the woman might hurt me. She doesn’t ever want to go out of the mall, afraid that the woman might still be there.” 

Mr. Sullivan closed his eyes as he massaged his temples. Everyone could sense that he looked so mad, and he was just controlling it. 

“I told Mom the other day 1 wanted to go back to Paris because I didn’t want my daughter to have these kinds of fears. I don’t want it to happen anymore.” 

Serra looked at Ciara carefully, and even Chance’s brows knitted, but no one disagreed about her decision, saying that it was the best thing she could do at the moment. 

“But mom is right. If I leave, I am just trying to escape what happened in the past. And if I do it again, I won’t break the cycle, and it will o 

will only keep haunting me. Worse, I don’t know what might happen if I face it again in the future.” 

Mr. Sullivan nodded as if he agreed with her. And even Serra was nodding too, as it showed in her expression that she wanted Ciara to fight this time. 

“I am aware I didn’t push her. I know that I wasn’t the reason she lost her baby. She attacked me first. She was aggressive. The only thing I did was to protect myself from her, but I never harmed her.” 

Mr. Sullivan looked at Ciara with wrath on his face. 

III 

AM. 

“She tried to hurt you?” He asked thunderously. 

“Multiple times, dad,” Ciara said. “Not just physically, but also mentally and emotionally.” 

Mr. Sullivan stood on his seat roughly. 

“Gwen, trace the woman and tell me the details of this girl.” 

“No, father,” Ciara said, inserting herself into her father’s order right away. 

“Ciara, that woman must be punished” 

“That woman was just so confident because she thinks she’s bigger than me just because she is the daughter of the Wilsons,” Ciara explained briefly. 

“And who are you, 

Ciara?” Louis asked; his voice was taunting. 

Chance laughed and leaned against the seat. 

e I created another identity, a new version of “They have no idea who I was. I never told them anything about my life because me, during my college days when I met Cara’s father. So this time, I wanted to introduce myself formally, at least. I want to launch a big project that would shake all of the business competitors in their chairs,” she said fearlessly. 

Chance and Serra looked at each other. Louis rested his elbows on the table which indicated that his full concentration was already on her, and even Mr. Sullivan’s pause just showed that he was willing to reconsider what was on Ciara’s mind. 

What is it, Ciara? Her mother asked intriguingly. 

“I want to reveal myself as the newly elected CEO of Sullivan’s company. 

There was a deafening silence from her family as they looked at each other. 

“I want to show them who’s behind the family they feared and imagine if it’s a woman. More importantly, it will give a nice impression to the luxurious brands we are handling that, all this time, a woman is involved. Knowing that people would assume behind the success of every business is an old businessman, Ciara looked at her father. 

Serra laughed a little. Chance was smirking, and even Louis arched his brow. 

“What? Am I that old?” Mr. Sullivan complained that it made his children laugh more. 

“I am not going to own up to all of the successes Sullivan has established, but I want to reveal myself as the newly elected CEO, the youngest heiress at the top right now.” 

Serra smirked. “I like that idea of yours.” 

“As long as your security is tightened more. And you aren’t allowed to go to places now if you’d do that. Are you fine with that?” Her father asked. 

Ciara nodded. “Yes, Dad. As long as my daughter is safe.” 

Mr. Sullivan glanced at Gwen, who nodded. 

“I will talk to a television broadcaster to do an interview. We could feature her in the biggest magazine, a big show on television, and even put her face on the biggest establishments out there so everyone would know about her.” 

“Sis is gonna be viral. Imagine the beauty!” Serra laughed like she was having fun. 

Ciara was so ready for a fight as if she just signed herself up for battle she needed to win for the sake of her daughter. Other than that, she changed her number and didn’t want to contact Callum anymore. 

2/3 

။ 

< 

Shane has been a threat to her since the moment she showed how violent she is just to have Callum, and she doesn’t want that kind of life for her daughter. 

She would rather not continue the love that was slowly blooming between the two of them than deal with the woman who ruined her in the past by accusing her of killing her child and making her husband side with her. 

Though she understands Callum’s side, this time she is now protecting Cara from Shane. She would never tolerate that kind of mistreatment of her daughter, whom Shane shouted at. 

The Sullivans didn’t waste time granting Ciara what she wanted. And even Gwen released a new teaser right away, as they were planning to market Ciara’s exposure. 

It’s going to be an explosion. The whole business industry-especially those who are curious about the Sullivans-would finally be given a chance to see one of the billionaires. 

What was more shocking was that the rumor about the Sullivan, living a low-key life would probably shock those who became her classmates in college. Who would even think that all along, they have had a Sullivan schoolmate? 

Gwen handled everything until, when tomorrow came, the big television shows were suddenly releasing teasers about Sullivan’s new CEO-the youngest heiress. And other than that, in New York Times Square, there’s already an ad for it and even some big billboards all over the city. 

The news escalated so fast that it even trended on different social media platforms as everyone was talking about it and invested in seeing the faces of the billionaires, who’ve been very low-key for centuries. 

It wasn’t just the public who was eager to know, because even the business industry was looking forward as well, even the competitors who always wanted to be at the top, like Sullivan, or who were eaten wholly by this family. 

On the internet, people were expecting a man. Chance has been seen by the other big businessmen, but he hasn’t been revealed yet. 

Though he’s been facing a lot of rumors that were only handled by Gwen herself, no one really thinks that this time, a woman would reveal herself as the youngest billionaire of the Sullivan household.
