Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

As the event continues, everyone is now getting interested, not just in knowing the scents to be introduced but also in seeing Ciara in person who is the first Sullivan that was revealed publicly. 

Who would not be interested in her when her public appearance was so powerful and everyone was getting curious about her! She was suddenly hitting massive success by just exposing herself, and there were a lot of women who were eager to support her: even most of the big socialites in other countries came just to see her. 

“Ladies and gentlemen, Ciara Sullivan,” the MC introduced in the middle of the opening ceremony. 

Everyone clapped as Ciara stood and walked to the stage to give her speech. 

When she stood in front of everyone, she could see in their faces how eager they were to get to know her. 

“Good evening,” she said formally, saying that she saw how some of them smiled and some were seriously looking at her. 

“I am Ciara Sullivan. The main purpose of this event is to introduce a newly released project I personally spearheaded, which lined up with the other luxurious scents from our company. I want to introduce CARA, a brand of new luxurious perfumes that embodies elegance and empowers the strength of an individual through how it is perceived. I wanted to launch this project to also help the street children by giving them a proper shelter.” 

The impact of her speech has been shown to the listeners, as their smiles remained and was saying.

After her long speech, everyone clapped and even stood to give her support. Ciara smiled and let everyone try the scents, 

Though the event wasn’t done yet, to see how the socialites and the others were so invested in the scents, taking pictures of them, Ciara could see that they did a great job, 

She was approached by a lot of influencers as well, including big business names, to take photos of her. She was interacting and letting them take a photo of her, as they were so eager to know Ciara. 

Other than that, there were men with whom Ciara could smell the motive because of the way their lips stretched and the way they talked to her. 

“Wow. You are more than a goddess of beauty in real life. I mean, wow, you are taking my breath away,” a man said as soon as she went to Ciara for a picture. 

Ciara chuckled a little. It wasn’t the first time she had gotten those kinds of reactions because even the other men were showing their obvious reaction to her beauty and the way they would gasp at her. 

She saw Serra interacting with the other socialites as well. Her eyes suddenly tried to find Cara whom she knew Serra was with earlier. When she didn’t see Cara, she tried to spot her mother, who was talking to the other business partners as well, her eyes immediately drifted to her other brothers, but failed to find Cara.

She knows that Cara has her own bodyguards who would look after her for twenty-four hours, so she controlled her p the excused herself from the group of socialites and walked to her bodyguards. 

“Where’s Cara?” She asked. 

Her bodyguards looked at each other. One of them got his walkie-talkie and started communicating with the others. 

“She’s in the restroom, ma’am. She was followed by her own bodyguards. Should we check on her, ma’am?” 

Ciara sighed in relief as she shook her head. 

“I’ll do it,” she said, walking to where the restroom is.

She saw from the alley of the restroom the familiar bodyguards of Cara, who were standing and waiting for her patiently. 

“She said that she wanted to pie, ma’am. So, we let her in. The restroom is monitored by Miss Gwen,” the bodyguard said when they saw Ciara. 

She nodded and decided to walk to the restroom to check on her instead. She was already in the alley when she saw her daughter talking to the familiar physique of Callum, who was offering his handkerchief to her. 

The beating of her heart was starting to get faster. Every time she would see Callum and her daughter getting along without any idea that they were daughter and father, she felt like a villain who ruined someone’s fairytale. 

“Thank you, Mister.” She heard the little voice of her daughter as she walked more toward them. “I couldn’t reach for the tissue and the water as well,” Cara conversed. 

Callum then glanced at Ciara and Cara. Ciara saw that Callum’s expression looked a bit bothered, as it displayed that there was something that was bugging his mind because his eyes were bloodshot as well. 

“Mommy,” she called. 

Ciara smiled and stopped in front of her. She glanced at Callum, who was still looking at Cara, and then his brows knitted to the core as if he were in a deep state of thinking and trying to solve some puzzles in his mind. 

“You peed?” 

“Yes, mommy. But I wanted to wash my hands, and I couldn’t reach for the sink. But your friend gave me his handkerchief. I wiped my hands,” Cara said in her cute little voice. 

“Did you say thank you?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Cara nodded. She looked at 

Callum again. 

“He told me he’s here to support mommy.” 

Ciara looked at Callum, who was now looking at her, weighing her expression. Ciara offered her hand to her daughter. 

“Let’s go!” 

“Ciara,” Callum immediately called. 

Cara glanced at Callum. Then she looked at her mother. 

“Mommy, I will head first. I will let you two talk. I will be fine there.” 

Ciara didn’t say anything yet, but her daughter immediately left as she looked so eager to let them talk. Her brows were so knit that she glanced at Callum, who looked at her too. 

“She’s nice. Good thing she didn’t get her mother’s…hm,” Callum said meaningfully. 

“Mother’s what?” 

Mum licked his lips. 

Ciara suddenly remembered the rumors that some were thinking something was going on between them, so she pulled him inside the restroom of the girls and texted some of her bodyguards not to let anyone use the restroom since there were two more from the other alleys. 

“Tell me the truth.” Callum suddenly demanded as soon as they went in. 

Ciara’s heart was pounding. She could smell what he was trying to ask, but at the same ti 

time, she didn’t want to jump to the

conclusion that there might be something else. 

“I heard you dropped the Wilsons,” she opened up, just to start another topic out of the tension. 

But Callum seemed more interested in other things, so he stepped closer until Ciara leaned against the sink while her hands rested on the sides, her brows knitting. 

she’s five. And she had her birthday the other month. Who’s her father, Ciara: “He asked in a thick voice. 

“She told me she’s 

“What do you… 

“Something happened between us five years ago. The timing was right on her birthday. Who is her father, then? If the man whom you were seeing in those years was your brother, then.. this daughter of yours…” he stopped his words as he couldn’t continue them. 

Ciara knew that she couldn’t escape him anymore. He has seen through it. If she denies it, she knows that she will only worsen the situation. 

“And you told me that I would lose two of you this time. What do you mean, Ciara? Tell me,” he said frustratingly, as his eyes were more bloodshot than earlier and he looked so demanding. 

“Because you’ve already lost us in the past the moment you’ve chosen someone over your wife and your daughter, Callum.” 

Callum’s face showed how shocked he was. He couldn’t say anything, but the way his eyes got blurry and the way he looked so regretful, Ciara could tell that she hit the nerve. 

“I begged for you to choose me because… I was pregnant at the time. I was having a hard time dealing with it, and you were choosing someone over me. I felt so lost and betrayed. How come you are willing to choose someone over me who also needed you at that time?” 

Callum’s tears fell uncontrollably. He stared at her with deep pain as he looked so hurt. There were so many things that were going through his mind at this point. 

“I was planning to tell you on that day. I was trying to express how afraid I am that we are having a baby because I felt like you hated me at that time. I wasn’t ready for it. I needed you so much that time, but you.” Ciara shook her head as she remembered her pain watching Callum side Shane purposefully 

Callum sighed as his shoulder rocked. His lips were trembling as well, so he bowed a bit and swallowed hard. 

“How could I even tell you when you abandoned me? If you cannot choose me, then I lose hope that you might also not want the baby”
