The Billionaire's Mistake (Anya and Daniel)



Elena slammed the door loudly so they could hear her come in. both women froze where they stood and turned to look her way.

"Look who is back. It is the child throwing a tantrum. You actually dare talk back to me when I called you. Look at the time you are returning. You should have been here from the beginning to help me cook and prepare!" Cecile scolded.

Elena looked around the room to see from the preparations that a lot of guests were coming.

"Auntie, don't talk like that, if Elena prepared all this herself, she would be tired. Why don't I help?" Melanie said.

"You are just too nice for your own good. There is no need for you to help, you are a guest. You should relax and let others do it," Cecile said. Elena glanced at both of them and turned to walk away.

"Hey, I am talking to you, where are you going?" Cecile hurriedly blocked Elena's path, "Hurry up and enter that kitchen!" Cecile scolded.

"Why should I do that? It looks like old age has taken away your commons sense or at least your hearing. Did I not already say that I am divorcing your son? We just signed the papers. Have your new daughter-in-law do it instead and stop blocking my path!" Elena said, pushing Cecile out of her way.

Cecile tumbled slightly and Melanie went to catch her, and they both fell to the floor.

This was what Donald saw the moment he walked into the house. He had only returned an his mother and Melanie were on the floor while his ex wife was staring at them coldly from the first step of the staircase.

"What have you done? Are you crazy?" Donald hurried over to help Melanie up, ignoring his mother, which made the older woman furious.

"You crazy son, you should at least help your mother up first, right? Look how much she enjoyed making people suffer for your sake and you ran to help your mistress up," Elena said and Donald realized that his mother was still on the floor.

Melanie saw the resentful look on Cecile's face and hurriedly tried to help her up.

"Don't try to sow discord between mother and son!" Melanie said righteously. This statement even though not calming Cecile's anger, made her see Elena as an enemy.

"You crazy woman! You dare push me down? Why did you not step up to help me up?" Cecile said.

"It is you lot that is crazy. I am no more a member of your family. I don't think I ever was. You better educate you mother and mistress on what divorce means before they embarrass themselves outside.

"Elena, I have never tried to come in between you and Donald, there is no need for you to call me a mistress!" Melanie said righteously.

“Be careful, even angels would run from your righteousness. You are a woman who crawled into a married man's bed, what were you doing there? Looking for bed bugs? Are you a priest or an exterminator, which is it?" Elena said and Donald paused.novelbin

It was the first time he had actually heard Elena this way. Her words were poisonous. He realized, he had never heard her in this manner before. "Do not slander me!" Melanie's eyes filled with tears, making Donald frown.

"You are the one who was found by the marital bed naked, but I a slandering you. Even if your part time job is to check for bedbugs in people's husband's beds at night, you should have known to wear your priest robes so that we can recognize your holiness and not slander you," Elena said and turned to leave.

The moment she turned around. Donald recalled why he rushed home so quickly.

"Were you the one that revealed Melanie's pictures to the press?" he asked and she paused.

"What pictures?" she asked and

Melanie hurriedly took out her phone and searched her name. She was on the trending search as her intimate pictures with Donald had been

spread all over. The commented. ne

online were scathing. The Netizens wanted to eat her raw as it was revealed that the man in the picture, that has been in several rumors over the years was married.

Elena had also pulled out her phone to see the chaos. When she saw it, she laughed.

"So, you are the one!" Donald said, "Those pictures are very similar to the once you showed me!'

"No, but, is it a lie? Is she not a mistress? Do you all need a dictionary to help you with the meaning of the word mistress?" Elena asked.

"You better retract those words now, or else..." Donald started to say.

"Or else what? I said I did not do it. You are the only one who thinks this snake is an angel. You probably do not know how many enemies she has already," Elena said.

"You still deny it?" Donald asked.

"Are you crazy? I will not admit to

something I did not do. It doesn't matter if your mistress is in trouble or not, why should I be held

accountable for it. DO not worry when leave, I will stop by a church to pray for the long health of the

person who did this," she the

said and Cecile fumed.

"You witch! Since you are already leaving this house, why don't you leave quietly? Why cause trouble on your way out?" Cecile screamed.

"I will not take the blame for something I did not do, and you lot better be careful about what you say. Old woman, if you cannot prove that I released these photos, I do not mind suing." Elena responded.

"Old woman?"

"So, old woman, you better not raise you voice at me again. I am not your daughter-law anymore, I do not mind slapping some senses into you," Elena said and Cecile shrank back under her cold stare.

She had never seen Elena this way, and neither had Donald. He suddenly realized that she was not playing some game. She was really ending things.

"You should be more interested in

who this will help more. I am already leaving your family and in our divorce papers, we made clear to not speak about each other, so why would say anything? The person who would benefit the most is the one who will take my place now that I am going," Elena said and they all turned to look at Melanie with a frown.

Seeing that everyone was suspicious of her, Melanie hurriedly defended her self.

"I would not destroy my image that I have worked for all these years in the media this way." she said, but mother and son were both suspicious.

They knew that Melanie's career was already fizzling out and she had always wanted to marry Donald.

Now, that the whole world knew of her relationship with him, she was trending again, and most of all, Donald would have to marry her.

When Melanie saw that they did not believe her, she turned and ran, oddly into a wall. Donald tried to catch her and Elena held back the urge to roll her eyes and Melanie who barely touched the wall fainted in Donald's arms.
