Chapter 30
Cara was to television.
too hyper for the whole night, as she could not stop talking about how pretty and amazing her mother was on
“My mommy is so pretty. And she is inside the television like a princess!” She chanted again while Ciara was brushing her
hair.
st Callum at this time but she wants to
Ciara chuckled and remembered what Callum had told her. She still cannot fully trust be ready for all the possible things that could happen.
“Cara, I have a question.”
“What is it, mommy?” she asked, glancing at her..
“Well, the truth is. I’ve been meeting up with your father lately. I was now trying to patch things up with him. I haven’t apologized yet, but he is willing to apologize to Mommy and fix things”
Cara looked at her with curious eyes. Ciara continued brushing her hair while her mind was already fixed on her daughter’s
reaction.
“And I am willing to apologize too. And tell him so soon about you once I make sure that his intention is pure. want me to introduce him to you one of these days?”
“To my real father?” She asked.
“Well yeah…
Cara slowly took her head and pressed her fingers.
“I am fine without my father, Mommy.”
So, do you
Her brows knit. The last time she opened it up, Cara was willing to meet him, though not that she would go with him if Callum asked her to go with him instead, but she has given his father a chance to go with him.
“W-Why?” She swallowed hard. There was something about Cara’s answer that tugged at her heart. So, she stopped combing her hair and rested her chin against the small space in her shoulder.
“Can I ask why?” Ciara asked gently while looking at her daughter who seems who have already made up her mind.
“Because I am fine without him. You look happy now, Mommy. We are happy without him. And if he comes back, I don’t want you to be hurt again. I don’t want the witch to come for you. The witch will make you sad and cry. If that happens, I will
I don’t my father if that means the witch will come too,”
cry too.
Ciara smiled and kissed her cheek. “You really love your mom so much?”
Cara faced her completely and hugged her nape so tight that Ciara chuckled a bit, wrapping her arm around her waist.
“Yes, mommy. I love you so much. I am going to protect you forever, Mommy.”
She sighed as her lips stretched for a warm smile as she caressed her back. She was melting. However, knowing Cara’s reason, it seems that the incident with Shane had affected her. Cara was now so protective of her that she didn’t care if she would not meet her father again if that meant her mother would not get hurt.
She might not have been able to get the support she wanted from Callum years ago, but Callum gave her a baby that would never turn back on her and would always think of her welfare over anything else.
“That bitch?” Shane’s face was red because of the anger that embraced her while she was holding the remote control of the

television while watching one of the interviews with the young billionaire heiress of the Sullivan.
Π
“She’s a Sullivan?” Her blood was boiling more. “The killer of my child is a billionaire? And why did she reveal herself this time, huh? What is she airing at? To get Callum back? To show him that she’s that great!”
In her anger, she threw the remote at the television while her shoulder was rocking so
hard. She was so mad
“Now, you think I won’t get back at you, Ciara? You think that being a Sullivan-a billionaire-is enough to put yourself at the top! Well, then, I will make sure that I pull you down! I will make sure that I serve the justice of the baby whom you’ve killed! I will make sure that, for the first time, the Sullivan clan will be tainted all because of your dirt. If you are doing this to show Callum how great you are, then let’s see.”
Her smile formed an evil smile while her hands were turning into fists. After all these years, she was just waiting for a good comeback for Ciara.
Out of all the women who have a connection with Callum, it was her who irked her the most because Callum considered marrying her and not her. It was her deep-rooted hatred that resulted in her immeasurable anger toward Ciara.
She wanted Callum all for herself. She doesn’t want him to share with anyone or give him to Ciara.
And on the next day, just like Ciara’s sudden appearance, the sales of the Sullivan were so massive that the public was now demanding some products that represented Ciara.
That was her first strategy, as she wanted to make her own perfume brand out of the luxurious brands they wer
which touched her. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“This is CARA perfume. A new luxury perfume that embodies femininity and strength, something that every wom Black, sexy, and wise. I want it to have some floral scent and a bit musky as the smell of the rose-the main symbol of brand will be highlighted,” Ciara said formally as she explained her newly proposed first project that she would be relea “And what’s the difference between this perfume and our other luxurious perfumes?” It was Louis who fired the question since everyone didn’t want to ask anything, especially Ciara, the daughter of Mr. Cielo Sullivan.
“Well, it gives women empowerment. Something that women love nowadays. Though this isn’t intended to mock men, it will serve as the scent of strength for every woman who uses it. Scent is very powerful when worn, as it will attract the people who will smell you and create this kind of impression on what kind of person you are according to the things you like. And this scent has this aroma of something powerful, intimidating, classy, and confident.”
Everyone who was listening was nodding. Even Chance, who was silent the whole time-including Serra, who’s very amazed -together with the board members were very pleased to hear how Ciara’s mind works.
“I like her idea, Louis. Stop finding fault in her. This is her first time. Let her try it on her own,” Serra said, arching her brow at Louis.
Louis’ expression calmed down. “I was only testing the water, Serra. There were more intimidating people that would swallow her whole in this business industry. I am just preparing her.”
“Who has more questions?” Chance looked at the others. “And how dare you question her?”
And just like that, everyone was already laughing as Ciara shook her head. Though she was confident in her first project proposal because she knew that she was getting a nice impression from the public, releasing a brand that screams like her is a nice move to market a product that she would be working on.
As the decisions were agreed upon and everyone shared their opinion-mostly positive-Ciara finally got the chance to release her first-ever perfume, which she named after her daughter, Cara.
“So, who would model this?” Chance asked as she looked at Ciara
“Are we going to find someone else that fits into this scent? Of course, Ciara will model this. She fits perfectly. If the public

loves her, then let’s give them more of her,” Serra said, smiling proudly.
The other board members nodded as they agreed to use Ciara as the model of the newly released CARA scent, praising her for having a model-like body that is perfect for marketing the perfume.
“Wow. All this time, you have those brilliant ideas in you that you weren’t sharing! I think your luxury perfume will be such a massive hit that everyone will be eager to buy it. Haven’t you seen your impact on the internet? Everyone’s getting to know you! You were suddenly famous!” Serra said proudly.
Though Ciara wasn’t the kind of person who liked the idea of fame, she wanted to use the benefit of it by launching something that would mark how her mind works and how she loves scents.
As soon as she went into the office, her secretary put all of the documents that were the compilation of the outsider company wanting to propose some collaboration with her.
She checked one by one until a folder caught her attention because, as she opened it, the proposal was just so familiar.
I want to have dinner with you.
She scoffed and shook her head, but there was a smile lingering on her lips. She couldn’t help but bite her lips. The last encounter that she had with Callum was not great but who would have thought that he would resort to this kind of strategy in order to ask her out?
I didn’t know you had this kind of sweetness in you, Callum.
At the same time, she couldn’t put her guard down. She won’t make the same mistake again.
