Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

After their emotional talk in the restroom, Ciara decided to come out since everyone was already looking for her. She headed out first so they wouldn’t attract too much attention, as the security led by Gwen controlled the place so she could freely move. 

Serra glanced at Ciara, who was with Cara already. She secretly walked toward them since Cara seemed concerned when she whispered to Serra to let her mommy go to her. 

“Mommy, are you okay?” she asked, whispering it like she knew what was happening at the event. 

Ciara blinked twice, as she didn’t expect Cara would notice that she was crying. Though she tried to hide it, it seemed like her daughter had memorized her eyes, so she just couldn’t make it seem like she didn’t cry. 

Cara has never seen her cry. She has never shed tears in front of her daughter because she never experienced being sad the moment Cara came into her life. It was like a daydream that her days were filled with butterflies and rainbows. 

“I’m fine, sweetheart,” she said, smiling a little as she caressed her cheek. 

Cara didn’t leave her eyes off her mother. Serra was giving her ameaningful look as well, saying that she could sense what was going on and that it had something to do with Callum. 

Ciara blended with the clients and the socialites again as she continued conversing with them. There were paparazzi invited that are controlled by Gwen as well and are part of the Sullivan, so whatever scandalous happens, it won’t come out to ruin the name of Ciara. 

“Wow? So this is the real you?” A sudden voice resonated throughout the place and got everyone’s attention. 

Ciara, who was still smiling, had slowly vanished the smile on her lips, while the others were so curious about what was with the sudden outburst from a woman who’s in her champagne dress, and the wrath in her eyes was vividly shown. 

The security immediately went to where the voice was coming from because it was obviously bad news that needed to be stopped, while all of the men in black who were known as Sullivan’s main security team moved hastily to the woman whom Ciara knows very well. 

“Ciara. A Sullivan in disguise! The murderer of my child is actually a billionaire?” Shane screamed from somewhere, which made everyone gasp and knit their brows. 

Their security immediately went to Shane, forcing her to stop and dragging her away from the venue as they immediately flocked around her, as if she were a virus they were trying to isolate so no one would get infected. 

“What? You are trying to appear so clean?! How about you tell them what you did to me because you were jealous that your ex-husband didn’t want you in the first place! You killed my child, Ciara! Don’t ever run away from your crime and build this kingdom by burying your dirt! You are just trying to get Callum’s attention back because you failed in the past!” 

Her words were abruptly stopped, as she was now forcefully dragged out of the venue after shouting those words. Her screams and groans could be heard as she tried to get away from the guards, but to no avail, because five were already dragging her out. The security handled it right away, but the disappointment on Ciara’s face was vivid. It worsened even more when Cara immediately hid her face on Serra’s neck and hugged her tightly as she cried. 

“That woman, I’m scared,” Cara said as her voice immediately broke. 

Ciara gritted her teeth. Mr. Sullivan stood and ordered the other security to make sure the woman was dragged out. Other than that, the whispers were now starting as everyone was also glancing at Callum, whose face darkened. 

“Miss Ciara is really involved with Mr. Callum Haynes?” 

“And what? She’s his ex-husband? And a murderer of a child?”

“But Callum Haynes is here. It must be true that there is something going on between Callum and the young heiress of the Sullivan 

“So she’s secretly dating the enemy of their company? Is that the reason why the Haynes hated th 

“They were rumored to have a special relationship during college. They were married and broke up?” 

Everyone was so invested in knowing it, as some were already looking at Ciara. Though no one attempted to take pictures or videos because it was so sudden, and those who attempted to record it were stopped as it wasn’t allowed, some were still eager to know how they kept on talking about it. 

“Well, maybe it was just a stunt to the public.” 

mt to ruin t 

the name of the Sullivans, especially now that one of them has revealed themselves 

“But that woman is the daughter of the Wilsons, right? And knowing that it was rumored that the Haynes had dropped them, which most probably meant the marriage was called off as well, the tea about the Sullivans, Haynes, and Wilson was probably true. It could be a love triangle” 

Ciara doesn’t care about the rumor or the whispering. What she cared about the most was her daughter crying on Serra’s shoulder as she absentmindedly reached for Ciara. 

Callum, who was concerned, walked toward them as Ciara was trying to calm Cara down as she took her from Serra since Cara was reaching for her worriedly while her tears were rolling down her cheeks. 

When the Sullivans saw what was happening, and even when Callum tried to come nearer, Chance walked toward them and blocked him as he looked at Callum like he shouldn’t cross it. 

“This isn’t the right time to butt in on family problems,” Chance said as he smiled sarcastically. 

“I am concerned for my daughter,” Callum said as he looked at Chance with pure demands. 

Chance laughed a little. “Really? After abandoning her and choosing that scandalous woman just earlier? Hmm, maybe you! plotted this too? Knowing your company is quite aggressive to make it to the top Is this a set-up for Ciara?” 

Callum’s face darkened. Callum pulled the neckline of Chance’s shirt while the security, most especially Chance’s bodyguard, stepped in right away until Callum let go of Chance’s collar, who was already fixing it while smirking at him cockily. 

“Don’t you fucking dare accuse me of something I wouldn’t do to her,” Callum hissed. 

Chance raised his hands and smirked. Louis, who butted in, tapped his shoulder and looked at Callum with a dark expression. 

The security immediately escorted Ciara to the exit of the venue, where the limousine was waiting for them, as Cara was now trembling in fear while crying. 

“Shhh, I’m here. Mommy is fine. I’m here,” Ciara whispered. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“I want to go home, m-mommy,” she cried while her shoulders were already shaking. 

“Yes, yes. We’ll go home right now,” she said as the chauffeur opened the door for them and they slipped in. 

As soon as they took a seat, her phone rang. She saw the unknown number, which she had given her number to Callum earlier so they could communicate. 

She answered the call and put 

ut it on her ears while Cara was sitting on her lap and burying her face in her chest. 

“Is she okay?” Callum asked worriedly.

“She is. She’s just traumatized by Shane. She doesn’t like seeing her,” she said, caressing the back of Cara, who was still sobbing. 

Callum sighed heavily. “I will see what I can do. I will talk to her 

Ciara doesn’t know what to say. Though she already talked to Callum earlier, every time Cara is involved, she will suddenly change her mind and do things that would benefit her daughter more than herself, as she doesn’t care if she won’t prioritize what she wants as long as Cara is fine and happy. 

“I can’t stand being in one place with her. Nor…at someone’s life with her, she said meaningfully, giving hints to Callum that Shane is a threat to her. 

“I’m sorry, baby. I’ll handle her. I hope Cara is fine. I could not come near you earlier since your brother blocked my way. He’s mad.” 

Ciara sighed. She knew that her brothers were now overly protective of her after what she revealed about what really happened. Though she hasn’t told them yet that she already talked to Callum and is willing to give him a chance, now that Shane has come into the picture again, she knows that Callum would be having a hard time getting Sullivan’s trust. And even Cara, his own daughter. 

“Mommy, I don’t want Daddy,” Cara cried. 

Ciara froze, knowing that Callum was just at the line, and she knew that he heard it. 

“I don’t want him. He hurt my mommy. I don’t want him. They will hurt my 

t my mommy,” Cara cried more. 

Ciara couldn’t hear Callum anymore, but she knew that he was just listening. 

“Cara, no one can hurt Mommy, okay?” 

“But Daddy did. He made you cry. And that woman is Daddy’s girlfriend. I don’t want Daddy anymore. I don’t like h-him…” she sobbed.
