The Billionaire's Mistake (Anya and Daniel)



Elena rolled her eyes at J's words. This trouble maker was plotting something. But she was too busy to bother.

J had been itching to slap some shame into this couple for a while.

She had only held back because of Elena, but no more.

It did not help that Melanie did not live a respectful live behind the scenes, leavening behind a lot of evidence that could drown her.

Evidence J had gotten her hands on.

But J was not one to release everything at once to crush her.

No, J was one to pay with her food, and take her sweet time to enjoy every bite.

Elena knew J was planning something, but she was not interested in stopping her.

She had promised to not do anything to Melanie after the divorce, but it did not mean she promised that other people could not.

J picked up her phone and made a few calls.

She spoke in hushed tones until she was done.

The moment she dropped the last call, she walked over to Elena to brag.

"Done. I have prepared a gift for her that she will never forget," J said.

Elena glanced at J with a small smile. She knew her friend well.

By the time J was done, she would be crying on that hospital bed till she actually gets sick.

On the other side of the city, Donald was having a bad day.

He had only just suppressed some news about Melanie and more popped up.

News spread of her mistreating assistants so badly, one got so depressed and had a car accident, and other things.novelbin

In all, Melanie did nothing when the assistant lay dying.

The public were already suspicious about Melanie.

She had a lot of scandals that disappeared that made it look like she was being propped up by someone.

This left a slight distaste in their mouth, making them unconsciously hate her.

Even though her studio kept refuting rumors through the years, many kept feeling that there was not need to suppress the news if she was Innocent.

She, who already had anti-fans became no one public enemy, as her anti-fans now had ammunition.

But Melanie in question, did not know all this was going on.

Donald had long confiscated her phone, because he was worried she would not be able to deal with the news.

But as he looked at the chaos online, he felt a headache. It was as though her problems had no end.

When he suppressed one, another would pop up.

How much trouble has she caused all these while she was abroad?

He was annoyed, but it was Melanie. He could not let her deal with this on her own.

He put together a team to tackle the matter.

Unlike the chaos Donald was facing, Elena was having a good day.

Her family was preparing a welcome banquet for her.

But Elena's identity was still quite the secret in the Business world and her family preferred to keep it this way for a while longer.

J suggested a masquerade party instead and Jason and Gregor thought this was a good idea.

Elena could mingle with others without being recognized.

The day soon arrived.

The entire one percent showed up for her banquet.

They wanted to see who the Grey heiress was.

But the masquerade theme told them that the Grey heiress still preferred to be anonymous.

Donald was also one of those invited to this masquerade.

He took like everyone else, was curious who the Grey heiress was.

The atmosphere of the masquerade did well to ease the stress he was under.

He, like everyone else had heard how the Grey heir was a daughter and was taken aback by the unconventional practice.

But, the unanimous support from the family on the decision of this heiress made he curious about her.

But no matter how curious they all where, no one knew much about the Grey heiress as she usually stayed out of the lamplight.

As Elena walked in with her family, others could not help but look her way curiously.

"Is that her?" someone asked.

"it should be," another said.

"I heard that she just came back, was she abroad?" someone asked.

"What is the use of this welcome banquet when we cannot see her face?"

"I heard she is starting from the bottom in their company. If the future boss is recognized by others things are going to be difficult, right?" someone said and there rest all nodded in agreement.

From afar, Elena spotted Donald the moment she entered the room. She was quite disappointed with the way her eyes found him so quickly in the crowd.

It would take her awhile to completely get rid of him from her mind, it seems.

Beside her, Jason offer her a hand and they descended down the stairs.

"The don't even know who you are yet, but have given so many gifts," Jason commented, jolting Elena from her thought.

She removed her eyes from Donald in the distance and looked at the crowd and the pile of gifts in the gifts section.

"Even though they do not know who I am, please have the gifts carefully categorized and I wills send a return gift later. Jason nodded at her request as this was quite a normal practice.

As Elena passed, she recalled why she disliked these parties so much. Since childhood, the constant attention people gave her and the constant fawning she received at such events had tired her.

Even when she was married to Donald and he would take her to these events, he would ignore her immediately they walked in, making her out to be an escort.

After a while, she also lost interest.

As Elena thought these things and people murmured about her grace, Donald in the distance froze.

Why did that heiress look so much like his Ex-wife? Her posture was somewhat familiar.

The moment the though crossed his mind, he dismissed it. How was it possible?

Gregor who had been going around introducing his children, did not mind steering the walk towards Donald.

Standing before Donald and a group of guests, he treated Donald like every other guest and introduced Elena and Jason.

Donald was a bit taken aback by her similar name to his ex-wife, but he still pushed his thoughts down.

The introductions were soon done and Elena and Gregor took to the dace floor together and several others joined them.

Elena was done greeting and

l

dancing and in her opinion, there was nothing else to do, so she turned in for the night. As she passed by the corridor towards her room, she brushed by Donald

Seeing him again made Elena uncomfortable. She recalled how much pain he had put her through and was hurt by the scent of his perfume she had come to recognize.

Donald on the other hand, found it odd when she brushed by him without offering even a nod. Since he had reached his position in life, no one had ever treated him that way before.

he was also quite bothered about how similar shew as to his ex-wife. Was he messing with himself?
