His Ex-wife Is An Heiress (Amara and Tobias)

But when the phone call persisted, she had no choice but to wake up.

"Mngh." Groaning, she reached out, blindly searching for her phone. When her hand made contact with the cold device, she slowly pulled it towards her and without bothering to open her eyes, she answered. "Hello?" "Mara, have you seen it?! It's all over the internet!" Melanie's voice came through, unintentionally startling Amara.

"Mel, why are you shouting so early in the morning?" Amara groaned and slowly, she forced her eyes open, staring up at the ceiling of her bedroom.

"Mara, you're not listening. Check your phone, look at the news. Celestine is trending! And not in a good way."

Hearing this, Amara's brain finally started working. Sitting up, she ran a hand through her messy hair and grabbed her laptop.

She pulled it open, turned it on and typed Celestine's name in on her browser. It only took a few seconds before several articles decorated the screen of her laptop. But the most recent one was what caught her attention. Third Gen 'It girl' and model, Celestine White, was videoed last night, throwing herself into a swimming pool!

And along with the article was a video of when Celestine had fallen into the pool last night, trying to frame Amara.

Her eyes narrowed after seeing this.

'What the hell?' She thought.

"Mara? Are you seeing it? I told you it was all over the internet." Melanie's voice reached her ears and Amara released a chuckle. "That bitch is finally getting her Karma. I can't believe she tried to frame you."

"She didn't succeed." Amara said as she scrolled through the article, reading it piece by piece, in a bid to find out who could have posted something like this.

Only after reaching the end did she get an answer to her question.

"And with this, my grand surprise is complete." Amara mumbled, reading the last paragraph written in the article.

"Huh? Did you say something, Mara?"

"No, I didn't." Amara shook her head and closed her laptop. "Look Mel, I'll call you back later, there's something I need to do." "Alright. Talk to you later."

"Yeah." Amara answered and ended the call.

Immediately after ending the call she went to her message, clicked on the number Helios had texted her with last night and called it. She placed her phone to her ear and listened to it ring. Once, twice, three times and then a fourth, before a voice finally answered. "I was expecting your call. So, did you enjoy my grand surprise?" Helios's voice had her rolling her eyes and she released a sigh. "I'll cut straight to the chase, Helios. I appreciate what you did, Thank you, but I don't need your help. I can fight my own battles." "I'm sure you can. But I wanted to help, just because I could."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"And I thank you. But as I said, I don't

need your help, or anybody's help So please, don't do this again. And please stop approaching me it's making me uncomfortab

The line was silent for a few seconds before Helios asked. "So, does that mean you won't go on a date with me?"

Amara sighed. "Goodbye Helios."

Ending the call, she placed her phone down on the bed and laid back down. She was about to close her eyes when her phone began to ring. Thinking that it could have been Helios, she was ready to ignore it, but her actions came to a halt the moment she saw Lorenzo's name flash on the screen. Raising a brow, she swiped her thumb across the screen and answered the call. "Why are you calling so early in the morning?"

"The inauguration is tomorrow. I just wanted to remind you."

Hearing this, Amara glanced at the calendar on her bedside table. She spotted tomorrow on the calendar circled with red marker, indicating that it was indeed the day she had been preparing for for the past month.

"You didn't have to. I would never forget an event so important to me." She said.

"Is that so. Then, I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah. See you tomorrow."

With that, the call ended and Amara dropped her phone, allowing her head to hit the pillow.

Now that her eyes were closed, the sleepiness that had temporarily disappeared when she had been woken up by Melanie's call, returned, ten folds.

And this time, Amara couldn't find the strength in her to keep them open.

So, after a few seconds of struggle, her mind surrendered to the sleep and she found herself drifting off into dreamland.

But even when sleeping the bells of

the future never ceased to ring,
