Chapter 90
As Ciara and Callum were basically some names <b>that </b>were prominent within the business world, the moment that their feet stepped into the airport andnded back in the country, many people from the media were able to get a sniff of their arrival. But of course, even if Ciara didn’t tell Gwen that they would be back, it was very easy for <b>Gwen </b>to realize that they wereing from the moment <b>that </b>Ciara and her family hopped in the car in Paris and headed to the airport.
Before the news hit the inte, Gwen and the security team were already able to make a move and stop every article from being released, but she couldn’t stop the news from going around in the elite world.
By this time, everyone who knew about the Sullivans and the Haynes knew that the two people from the most powerful n juste back to the country. And that news was more than enough to shake the leaders of everypany there is.
What is the meaning of this? Why are they back?
Ciara <b>had </b>been known as a very scarypetitor despite being a CEO for only a short period of time. Even after she stayed in Paris, her <b>brand </b>had umted a very strong peak and stance within the business world. And that’s a feat that couldn’t be easily achieved.
Though she became the face of the Sullivanpany for only a short period of time, her presence posed a huge risk and fear to every young leader in the corporate world.
And Callum Haynes, another household name in the business world. The news about him stepping down as thepany CEO posed so many questions to so many people. Ever <b>since </b>Callum led the Haynes Corporation, they have been the onlypany that was able to rival the Sullivans very closely.
But not after the incident with the Wilsons
It was kept in the dark. The news wasn’t fully disclosed but some powerful people knew that something big had happened that <b>made </b>the Sullivans <b>so </b>angry. And they didn’t even hide it. They made sure everyone knows that the most powerful <b>can </b>there was so mad like they were <b>sending </b>signals, warning to remember who they are, that they are not some people to be messed around with.
“Wow, you actually made some grand entrance right there, huh? Just so you know, you made Gwen’s day a little too difficult today with all the work she had to do to make sure news about your arrival was controlled<b>,”</b>
Ciara almost scoffed at what Serra had said. Her eyesnded on Cara’s direction who was hugging her grandparents with Chance having to mess around with her because he just misses her so much despite having the chance to always visit them in Paris as well.
“The media didn’t have to cover our arrival. It’s not like we were celebrities,” she answered <b>and </b>Serraughed.
*Baby sis, in case you didn’t know, there are a lot of people that call you the ‘Princess of the business world, if not the queen. You amassed such a huge number of admirers and fans that you are basically considered a celebrity <b>at </b>this point. It didn’t even matter that you were out of the scene for so many years<b>. </b>That’s just how much impact you have left, okay<b>?</b>”
Chance, who was just ying with Cara earlier, chuckled as he was able to hear the words Serra had said.
“As much as what Serra had said was so funny and absurd to me, I actually heard those too. I feel like if you didn’t leave some years ago, I’m sure <b>some </bpanies would reach out to you so you would be an actress as well,”
Ciaraughed with her siblings. Louis was not around because he was still in thepany.
As they had calmed down with the pleasantries, Chance sat on the opposite couch where she and Serra were sitting. After their arrival, Cara <b>and </b>she went straight to her parents‘ house. Callum drove them there but they agreed that he go home first to meet his family while she talks to her family first.
Callum wanted to greet her family but eventually, he understood that they just arrived and the life they left here wasn’t necessarily pleasant to begin with. They both know that they need to take a breath before starting things around.
“So.. I guess you two are really back together, huh?” Chance asked. There was something in his expression that Ciara couldn’t decipher. But most importantly, she knows that this is one of those rare chances where he was serious.
Serra didn’t even react to Chance’s question as if she was <b>a </b>bit scared to actually stop Chance whatever it was that he wanted to say.. Ciara looked at her daughter first who was busy talking to her grandparents before she turned her attention back to her siblings. She bit her lower lip and was a bit nervous. She knows that her family has <b>always </b>been supportive of her decisions ever since. They were not the type to <b>control </b>her. In fact, out of everyone, she had the most freedom as the youngest. They let her do anything she wanted and even didn’t meddle when she got married in secret.
That’s how her life had been with her family. But she also <b>knew </b>that after what happened to her, things had already shifted and she

couldn’t me them for being <b>a </b>little concerned for her wellbeing
“It’s been four years.” she started, trying to find the right words.
“Four years isn’t that long to me, Ciara. I still could vividly remember your state back <b>then</b><b>, </b>and I promised myself I would <b>never </b>see you like that ever not you, not Serra, not anyone in this family ever,” he meaningfully said and Ciara could feel her stomach churn with his words.
Out of everyone in their family, Chance had always been the cheeky and yful one. He was never serious and just yed around a lot. 5o. seeing him like this makes Ciara a bit nervous. He is her older brother after <b>all</b><b>.</b>
“I know. And I promise it won’t happen again. Shane won’t ever be able toe close to me, right? You won’t let that happen.”
Ciara bit her lower lip because <b>this </b>was the first time <b>that </b>she felt so nervous when talking to her siblings.
Chance sighs. “You shouldn’t worry about me. Worry about Louis. He was just not pleased about everything and for sure, Callum is aware by now,”
That, she was aware. And that was actually one of the reasons why she wanted them toe back. She doesn’t want her family to do things because of her.
She doesn’t want them to be ruthless for her. They weren’t like that and she won’t allow them to be like that all for her sake.
“I’m fine now, Chance. Or maybe I am indeed still in the process of healing but how can I move forward if I will stay in the past?” she stated
A
ong sigh escaped Chance’s lips.
“I appreciate all of your kindness. Tappreciate the fact that you all try your best to check on me every time. I don’t <b>think </b>I would have ved the past years without your guidance But I think I am ready to move forward now. I want to start over and do things right.”
There were so many things that had been going on her mind. But this <b>is </b><b>a </b>decision she needed to make and she will stand by it.
“I wasted so many years already. Cara is almost ten and she understands so much. Do you know she and her father survived these years by only exchanging letters? They were that patient and there was a part in me that felt so bail because I realized that everyone had to adjust for myfort. Though I didn’t wish for it to happen but u looked like my pain was the only thing <b>that </b>mattered to this family for the past few years. <b>And </b>I want <b>that </b>to stop for now,
Serra and Chance didn’t talk. She knows and understand where they areing from and she doesn’t <b>want </b>to undermine their emotion. But this is something <b>that </b>she really needed to do for her own <b>family</b>.
By the evening Cara and Cura were already preparing themselves so they could go to bed.
Cara just finished showering and Ciara felt so proud because Cara had <b>really </b>matured so well. She could take care of herself now and <b>had </b>always tried to do things on her own for her own growth.
She was helping Cara <b>dry </b>her hair with a hair dryer while Cara was humming to one of her favorite songs,
“Are you <b>happy</b>” she asked and Cara nodded enthusiastically Her eyes were shining and Ciara couldn’t help but feel happy that her daughter was looking so happy as well.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
Now, she could <b>happily </b>say that going home was the best decision she ever made. She had expected that not everyone would be <b>as </b>epting of her decision immediately but she knew that eventually, things <b>would </b>fall into the right ce.
“Mommy? Cara spoke and Cura hummed as she brushed her hair.
“I am happy that we are <b>back </b>here. I like Pans <b>but </b><b>I </b>also missed everyone even Lt And Mommy, I want to meet Daddy’s family too! Daddy said he would let me meet my other grandparents”
<b>Ciara </b>smiled at <b>that</b>. Just knowing that Cara is happy was more than enough.
“Daddy told me so many things about them and he said they want to see me. Can I visit thein, mominy?” Cara’s eyes were shining, <b>as </b>if just thinking about her father’s parents made her so happy.
She nodded and chuckled <b>as </b>well
Callum and her never really got to meet them formally. Their rtionship had started so messed up. And after what happened to her with Shane, she knew things weren’t <b>that </b>easy.
The two of themy down on <b>the </b><b>bed </b>and Cara hugged her so tight.

“Mommy, I am so used to sleeping between you and Daddy that I already miss him so much!”
She kissed the top of Cara’s head and whispered, “I miss you daddy too,”
