Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

Serra told Louis and Chance what Ciara told her and Louis raised an eyebrow. They were now at the main house as their father was on the phone with some investors while their mother was busy preparing meals in the kitchen. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Even though they are rich and have so many helpers, their mother sometimes wants to be hands–on with everything 

“What exactly did she say? Did she say they are back together? I really need to see Callum again,” Chance stood up from his chair and headed to the table where there was a bottle of whisky sitting at the top. He grabbed a glass and poured himself some of it. Hearing what Serra said made him a bit anxious once again. 

What happened with Ciara almost broke their family. Ciara was their youngest and ever since she came into our lives, they promised that Clara would be taken care of the most, 

It was like their natural instinct. They promised they would protect her and cherish her. Maybe that was also part of the reason why out of all of them siblings, Ciara was the one that they allowed to be the freest, the one with the most freedom to decide and do what she wanted to do, regardless if that means leaving their family if that’s what it will take for her to be happy. 

Even when she first married Callum in secret, none of them bothered to know what she was doing at that time because they trusted her. And they have Gwen to make sure that whatever she does, she is safe and protected. 

If Ciara would ask them a whole  country, their father would probably give it to her. 

“How did she sound on the phone?” Louis then asked 

Chance looked at Serra who was grinning a little, like there was something she knew that really excites her. 

“Well, she sounded different. I am not going to lie. To me, she sounded almost a lot like how she used to, like how I remembered her back when that event hadn’t happened yet,” Serra answered. 

Louis took a deep breath at that. 

Sometimes, they would remember Clara back when she was at the hospital when she found out that she lost her child. And even after the case was closed, every one of them had seen the changes in her. Even though she tried so hard to act like nothing was wrong and things were getting better, the fear that surrounded her was so eminent that they tried their best to assure her that no one could touch her now. 

“I know that Callum was already able to prove that he had nothing to do with what happened in the past but somehow, it scares me. Ciara had been hurt not only once but twice and it’s all because of him,” 

Chance looked at Louis and he couldn’t help but agree. If there’s one thing that he would back Louis up, it’s anything that involves protecting their youngest sister. 

“If Ciara ever breaks down because of him again, I don’t know what I would do. I know he stepped down as the CEO of their company but I can ruin that empire to ashes if things didn’t go well,” 

Serra and Chance watched as Louis stood up, the coldness that was surrounding him was terrifying. It has been so long since they last saw Louis like that. 

Was it back when Ciara was only seven and someone at school tried to bully her because they didn’t know which clam Ciara was from? Louis saw Ciara crying and it’s like all hell broke loose for him. He beat the shit out of the kid that resulted in their parents being called to the school. 

Louis had always been regarded as the sibling who relates and resembles Ciara’s coldness. They are so much alike that it scares both Serra and Chance sometimes, 

They watch as Louis slowly disappears from the living room and heads into the kitchen 

Serra looked at Chance with worry in her eyes. “Did you feel that? It’s been so long since I last saw Louis like that. I mean, he was normally cold but we all know that it was just normal for him. But today was different. He scares me,” 

Chance wet his lower lip as he thinks as well. If Callum actually does something stupid again, he thinks that it will not go well not only for Callum but for everyone that is involved with him. God knows how their entire clan went ballistic last time. They closed so many deals to make their empire even stronger. They wanted to be untouchable. They wanted to be even more fears. They wanted everyone to know that they shouldn’t be touched, that if anyone even tried, they would burn them into ashes until not a speck of dust was left. 

“I guess that’s better. If Callum messes up again, I will surely support Louis in whatever he will do. We had given Ciara so much freedom already and things didn’t turn out well. I don’t want to see her burn from her own fire again so if this is what it takes for us to ensure that Clara will not get hurt, I don’t. Louis can burn them all and I will stand behind him and watch,” 

12:50 PM 

Serra’s eyes widened as she heard Chance’s words. 

She knows that her brothers love Ciara so much and she can’t blame them for being this protective. She will do the same for their youngest sister. But at the same time, freedom had always been the one thing Ciara enjoyed and Serra doesn’t want to take that away 

from her. 

Chance poured another glass and drank all of it. 

“Shane can no longer touch Ciara. For sure, Callum will be careful from now on. He had waited for years already and he had respected Ciara’s space in those years. Maybe this is the right time for them,” 

Chance put down the glass on the table and scoffed. “This better be. Because even though I kind of like him for Ciara, I won’t hold back this time if he messes up,” 

For some reason, Serra was suddenly afraid of what might happen.
