Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

The news about Callum taking back his position as the CEO of the Haynes Corp quickly reached a new height and it was like a scandal news that quickly traveled not just within the business world but also in every industry. After all, Callum Haynes was someone that has amassed quite a following too considering his good looks and being able to be considered as one of the promising CEOs despite his 

young age. 

News travels so fast and just that poses a threat to many companies right now, 

Callum Haynes is a formidable force that could easily shake the standings of every business out there and even to hear that news. 

“It wasn’t even two days and the news had traveled so fast, huh?” Serra stated as they were all in the living room. 

the Sullivans were able 

Louis just entered the room as well and heard what Serra had said. Ciara puts down her phone after she just messaged Callum congratulating him on the news. 

Cara was asleep. She must have been so excited to be back that she spent her days playing around and talking with the people she missed here. 

“Here comes the boss, Chance chuckled as Louis reached out for a glass of whiskey, not even bothering to sit down first 

He had been so serious ever since like Ciara but something about his aura was really different these days. Ciara couldn’t help but wonder if there was something going on about him personally as well. It’s like something was bothering him. 

Louis drank a sip first before taking the seat opposite Ciara’s. His face was laced with no emotion and he actually seemed a bit drunk already but they were sure he came from his office. And Louis doesn’t really drink when he’s working. He hates doing that. 

And Serra seemed to have noticed this as well because she spoke almost immediately. “It’s seemed like you have been drinking a lot lately. Is there any problem?” 

Chance’s brows furrowed, “Gwen never said any problem with any of our projects,” 

Ciara stared at her older brother for a while but Louis was only staring at the glass in his hand. He was shaking it, playing with the contents inside. He actually seemed so out of it 

“Louis,” Serra called him once again and Louis lifted his gaze, seemingly lost for a second. Ciara sat properly and there was fear in her for how her older brother had been acting. 

“Are you okay? Are you sick?” Ciara worriedly asked. Chance was very quick to stand up and grabbed his phone. Ciara knows he will probably reach out to Gwen immediately to know if there is anything wrong. But he didn’t have to send a message because all of their eyes immediately landed on the entrance where Gwen walked in. 

As if in a trance, Louis stood up when he saw her. Gwen wasn’t even able to settle in and Louis already spoke. “Did you find them? Where is she?” he asked and every one of them was confused. 

“Who’s them? Or who’s she? I’m confused,” Serra stated. They were all looking in Gwen’s direction. She looked at Louis, unsure if she should report to him while all of his siblings were there but judging by how frantic he looked, it seemed like he didn’t care at this point. 

“Not yet, sir. We haven’t traced exactly where she is but we found a lead of her last whereabouts. And someone also said she was not alone,” she confirmed and they were all confused about how Louis seemed not to be taking this so well 

He lifted his gaze and stared at the ceiling as if trying to calm down but everyone could feel the tension around the room. The aura he was releasing was just too much that for the first time, his younger siblings were nervous about his anger. 

“I thought we had the best security system? Why the  can’t you guys locate my child and his mother?!” he growled and Gwen paled at that. 

“What?!” Serra exclaimed but Louis didn’t bother looking at her. 

Gwen bowed a little. “I’m sorry, sir. We were exerting every resource that we had to try and locate them but it looked like someone was trying to erase any trace they left. But of course, we will make sure to track them as soon as possible. 

“Wait, what do you mean your child? Are you secretly married too?” Chance asked. At this point, every question about Ciara’s situation was sent flying down the drain at the information that they just got. 

“What happened? Is she your wife or what? And why are we tracking her down? Did she take your child away from you?” 

Louis messes his hair before sitting back on his chair. He eventually emptied his glass and put it down on the table.

“Why can’t our security find them?” Ciara turned her attention back to Gwen. It was something new to her. Their security is known to be very good and could even match the national security of the government if they try to compare. The fact that their security was having 

hard time tracking them was so hard to believe. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Gwen,” Cura repeated. They needed answers but Gwen seemed hesitant to answer. Yes, she works for the Sullivans but part of her job is to protect the privacy of each sibling and everyone in the family. That was the reason why Ciara was able to get married in secret without her family knowing too. Gwen’s just was to protect them and whatever individual business they had. 

But looking at the situation right now, it looks like Louis didn’t really care if his siblings found out. 

“She was the daughter of the last President of the State so she has the means to hide her whereabouts. Of course, I can assure you that we can still find them but we’ll have to work extra hard” Gwen eventually answered. 

“I’m so  confused,” 

Chance was covering his mouth and Serra’s eyes were so 

so wide. Louis had been secretive about his relationship. They even thought that 

“I didn’t know, okay.” Louis stated. He sounded too down and Ciara could now understand why something feels different with him. “She didn’t tell me her real identity. And maybe it was my fault too because I took my time in telling her who I really was. It seems like her family wasn’t really fond of our family too,” he added. 

They were all shocked when they saw tears streaming down his cheeks. 

“Louis.” Ciara whispered; her heart was clenching at the sight of him. Louis never breaks down. At least not in front of them. He had always been so strong, so cold that never once did they think they would see him like that. 

“I wanted to bring her to us, for mom and dad to finally meet her. But she ran away. 

Ciara’s lips quivered at that. Serra started crying at the sight of their brother and she moved closer to Louis to hug him. 

At this point, all Clara could remember was the times that she had spent away from Callum when she also had hidden Cara from him. The only difference right now was that Callum didn’t know that she was pregnant back then. 

Did Callum have nights like this too? She couldn’t help but think. 

The morning sunlight streamed through the towering glass windows of the Haynes Corp, casting a warm glow on the sleek interior. The entire building was so busy. After Callum came back as the CEO, they had to make adjustments according to the memo that was sent to the entire company. 

Ciara, accompanied by her daughter Cara, made their way through the lobby, the click clack of her heels resonating in the air. She was wearing formal clothes while Cara was wearing a pale pink dress that reached her knee. Her hair was tied in a bun and whoever sees her would immediately know that she is Ciara’s daughter. 

The receptionists, accustomed to the hustle and bustle of corporate life, looked up from their tasks and were momentarily frozen in surprise. 

Ciara Sullivan, a woman of power and influence, was a rare visitor to their office. She’s not someone that they would expect to see on a Tandom day. And the fact that she was not alone was even more surprising. 

The rumors about her and Callum Haynes had circulated for quite some time, but seeing her in person was an entirely different matter. 

“Good morning, Miss Sullivan!” one of the receptionists greeted, almost stuttering. 

“We’re here to see Mr. Haynes,” Ciara stated. 

The receptionists exchanged wide–eyed glances but decided against asking if she was expected. A woman of Ciara’s stature wouldn’t grace their office without a purpose. 

Seeing the woman in person as well makes the receptionist feel so nervous. Not only does Ciara Sullivan look beautiful, her presence is very much commanding. She looks very charismatic and even though Clara would smile, the aura of superiority and power was still evident. 

“Of course, Ma’am. He is at his office on the very top floor. The receptionist on the floor will assist you.” 

Ciara nodded and smiled before reaching for Cara’s hand. Cara smiled at the receptionists who were all startled still, place. 

frozen in their 

As Clara and Cara approached the elevator, the employees in the lobby couldn’t help but steal glances. 

Whispers began to circulate like a secret current, spreading through the office like wildfire. “Is that Ciara Sullivan!” one employer 

gasped, earning nods and murmurs of agreement from those nearby 

Upstairs, on the executive floor, the news of Ciara’s presence reached the employers before she did. The atmosphere became charged with anticipation, and speculation ran wild. The receptionists, now over the initial shock, were keenly aware that something significant was happening 

As Ciara and Cara nade their way to Callum’s office, the distant sound of a child’s laughter reached the ears of curious employees. 

The revelation that Ciara Sullivan had brought a child for a visit only added fuel to the gossip mill. Whispers of. They look so much alike. Is she her daughter?” and, “But why are they visiting our CEO? I’m confused!” buzzed through the office corridors. 

In Callum’s office, the atmosphere was decidedly different. Callum, with a smile that reached his eyes, rose from his desk to welcome Ciara and Cara. The office, usually filled with the serious tone of corporate discussions, now had a touch of warmth and familial joy. 

“Daddy! Mommy and I brought you lunch! Cara immediately ran to her father and Callum crouched to carry her. “I made you lunch!” she proudly added. 

Callum chuckled and  her cheek at that. 

The trio settled into a cozy lunch, sharing stories and laughter. 

Outside the office, the employees couldn’t resist peeking through the glass walls, trying to catch a glimpse of the powerful couple and their adorable addition. The rumors continued to swirl, taking on a more personal and heartwarming note. 

In the breakroom, colleagues gathered, discussing the unexpected lunchtime rendezvous. “They look like a happy family! But the child was almost ten now! So does that mean they have a child ever since then?” speculated one employee, holding a cup of coffee with wide- eyed excitement. 

Another added, “Did you see the way she looked at Callum? It’s not just business; it’s family. The group nodded in agreement, and the office grapevine hummed with the latest developments in the saga of Clara Sullivan and Callum Haynes. 

Cara ended up telling so many stories to Callum that Ciara couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of them. 

As Callum, Ciara, and Cara exited Callum’s office, a hush fell over the corridor. 

Employees along the path exchanged wide–eyed glances, their gazes locked on the unexpected trio. Callum, with a warm smile, held his daughter in his arms, and Cara, sensing the attention, waved enthusiastically to the shocked onlookers. 

The trio made their way down the corridor, with employees subtly pointing and whispering to each other. It was an unusual scene, and the presence of Ciara and Cara together only intensified the curiosity that had been building throughout the day. 

Stopping in the very heart of the office, where the buzz of ringing phones and tapping keyboards surrounded them, Callum gently lowered Cara to the ground. The employees, unable to tear their eyes away, watched in silence as they anticipated what was about to happen. 

Ciara looked at Cara with a loving gaze, her heart swelling with pride for the little girl who had unexpectedly become the center of attention. Sensing the collective curiosity, Cara spoke up in her sweet, innocent voice. 

“Hi, my name is Cara Haynes. I would like to thank everyone for taking care of my daddy’s company,” she said, surprising not only the employees but also her parents. The corridor fell into stunned silence, broken only by the echo of Cara’s heartfelt words. 

Ciara couldn’t contain her smile, a mixture of amusement and affection lighting up her features. The employees, recovering from the initial shock, exchanged glances, their whispers growing louder with excitement. It was the confirmation they had been waiting for Callum Haynes and Clara Sullivan indeed had a daughter. 

Cara, oblivious to the office gossip she had just stirred, continued to address the employees. “I know my daddy works really hard, and 1 just wanted to say thank you for helping him. You’re all very nice,” 

The sincerity in Cara’s words melted the hearts of the employees, and a collective “aww” rippled through the corridor. Callum, beaming with pride, put his arm around Clara’s shoulders. 

Just a 

as the situation seemed to reach its peak, Callum turned to his secretary, a silent communication passing between them. The secretary, quick on her feet, understood the need for discretion. 

Within moments, a notice was sent to everyone in the company, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the privacy of Callum s family. No photos of Cara were to be posted, and any discussion regarding the personal lives of the executives was strictly off–limits 

The employees were aware of the unspoken boundaries and nodded in understanding. 

As Callum accompanies Cara and Ciara in the lobby, there are so many people who follow their movement. In no time, Ciara’s tai 

stopped at the entrance of the building 

“Daddy, we’ll wait for you later! I love you” Cara  her father on the cheek as Callum was crouched in front of her. 

“I’ll see you later, my little princess,” he whispered and Cara chuckled at that. And then, Callum stood up straight. Not minding the eyes that were following them, he gently pulled Ciara close to him with his hand on her waist. 

Ciara similed as if they were the only people right now. 

“I’ll go home soon.” and just like that, he  her lips which earned a gasp from the people around them. 

It’s just another confirmation that Callum Haynes and Ciara Sullivan are indeed a powerful couple.
