Taming the Billionaire CEO ( Daniel Monroe )

11 Heart To Heart 

“What is taking him so long?” Renee paced around, a frown on her face as she looked up the stairs. 

She had promised him she wasn’t going to follow him or do anything rash, but it had been so long since he went up to call her down and yet there was no sign of him coming back down. 

“What exactly is he doing up there with her?” Several images ran through her mind and none of them 

settled well with her. 

She clicked her tongue in annoyance, “Anna is getting on my nerves. I’m pretty sure all this is some sort of plan to take Daniel from me.” 

Tired of waiting, she threw her hands up and walked up the stairs. “Since when did I start listening to him anyway?” 

“No, you can’t come in!” she stopped when she heard Kyra’s yell. I wonder who she’s fighting with 

this time. 

Kyra was always at loggerheads with everyone and although Renee didn’t like her, she had to suck up to her since she was the apple of the family’s eye. “Brat.” 

“I said I won’t let you in, get out!” She heard Kyra’s yell again. 

She looked up the stairs and down the hallway where Kyra’s voice was coming from. “You had better be down by the time I get back,” she hissed as she skipped down the stairs and ran towards Kyra, changing to a more refined and careful manner of walking when she got closer to her. 

When she arrived at the door, the only one she could see was Kyra who had her back to her and her hand on the front door. “Kyra, is everything okay?” she asked, as one of the househelps scurried past her. 

Kyra turned to her and then faced the door again. Renee rolled her eyes. She wouldn’t expect less from Kyra. 

She stopped next to Kyra and opened the door slightly to see a fuming lady standing outside the door. “Didn’t you hear her tell you to leave? What are you still doing here?” she questioned her. 

She could have just ignored it, but since Anna moved in, she hadn’t gotten an opportunity to flaunt her power as the lady of the house since no one considered Anna the owner, regardless of the documents. 

“And you must be Renee,” the lady said, her scornful gaze giving Renee a once over. “I must say Daniel has a really bad taste for him to have taken you back even after you jilted him at the altar.” 

Renee’s eyes darkened. “And who the hell are you to speak to me that way?” 

“Oh, shut it! I’ve seen people with ugly souls but beautiful faces, but you’re one of the few with an immensely ugly face and soul. I mean, how do you do it? More importantly, how did you charm Daniel?” she questioned. “Although it’s a good thing if y’all take the fools away so we can settle with

the good guys. 

Seeing the lady wouldn’t answer, Renee turned to Kyra, “Who is she?” 

“She claims-” Kyra started. 

“Zip it, brat!” The lady cut her off in irritation. “Unlike you, I’m who I claim to be. I’m Lily, the best friend to Mrs. Anna Solorante, the owner of this mansion,” Lily ended, a proud smile on her face. 

“Throughout her marriage to your asshole of a brother and husband, I never called her his wife because it seemed more of an insult than a blessing, but now I’m so happy I get to call her ‘Mrs‘ and be happy about it,” Lily said, her faraway look in her eyes. 

Kyra’s face darkened. “Who gives a shit about what you or your damn friend feels or thinks? Just don’t talk crap about my brother and get the hell out of this house because it sure as hell doesn’t belong to that bitch!” 

“And don’t you dare talk about Anna that way unless you want a second part of the slap she gave you yesterday,” Lily retorted, satisfied when she saw Kyra go mute. 

She turned to Renee, who was starting to regret involving herself in the conversation. “And I wonder how you’ll raise a good child with your character. I genuinely hope he or she doesn’t become a nuisance to society.” 

Lily cut her off, “Hand me your phone now,” she said to Kyra. 

“And why would I ever do that?” Kyra laughed. 

“I wonder. Perhaps because you’re a psycho who smashed my phone when I tried calling Anna?” she asked, the fury on her face rising with each word. 

“Perhaps we should call a family meeting,” Anna said from behind Renee and Kyra. She pushed them out of the way and walked towards Lily, hugging her. 

“I’m so sorry you had to meet them first when you got here. I was waiting for your call but who would have expected she’d be so crazy as to smash it,” Anna scoffed, turning to face Kyra and Renee. “Hand over your phones now if you don’t want to suffer the consequences. 

“And why do I have to drop mine too?” Renee asked in bewilderment. “Besides, what are we? Kids? Why are you taking our phones.” 

“Yes, you are nothing more than kids and I’m taking your phone as well because you’re an accomplice,” she smiled smugly as she added. “And I know this because I saw you watch Kyra smash the phone but you said nothing.” 

What happened at the pool came to Renee’s mind and she scoffed. “Is this your way of getting revenge?” Although she tried to hide it, she was terrified of Anna now that she had the backing of someone so powerful 

If she was still angry at her because of what happened at the pool, then she was in big trouble. “Fine,

take it,” Renee said, handing it over to her, before turning to leave. 

“Where do you think you’re going? I’m not done yet,” Anna stopped her before turning to Kyra who was still reluctant about dropping her phone. “Hand it over now unless you’re hiding something, and please, unlike you, I’m not the type to go through people’s phones,” 

I’m the type to hand it over to her friend who’ll hack it and get every bit of juicy secret on it. 

“Whatever,” Kyra said, handing it over to her. “Just get ready for what’s coming,” she spat. 

“Sure, I’m ready,” she said as she handed the phones over to Lily who winked, understanding what she needed to do. 

“Your phone is in good condition so I’ll just take it to get reformatted and use it as mine. I think that’ll make us equal?” Lily asked Kyra whose eyes widened in horror. 

“Don’t you dare!” Kyra said. 

“I’ll take that as a yes,” Lily beamed and pushed past them into the bedroom. “Bring my breakfast into your bedroom and make sure it’s not polsoned.” 

“Sure!” Anna yelled after her and turned to Kyra and Renee. “Now, kids. Let’s talk about your behaviour today.” 

“I’m not playing your dumb games with you,” Kyra said through gritted teeth. “I have breakfast to get to.” 

“Likewise,” Renee said, before quickly adding. “for the baby as well.” 

Anna stared at her for a while before nodding, “Fine then, you both can leave.” 

We’ll see if you do have a baby, Renee.
