Kendrick didn’t sleep that night. The energy from the gala, the speeches, the promises it was all still thrumming in his chest. He had seen it in their eyes, the shift. It wasn’t just about the money anymore; it was about the idea, the vision he had sparked in their minds. But as the night unfolded into early morning, he realized that what he had started was only the beginning. The real work, the grind, the sweat, was yet to come.***********The next morning, Kendrick sat at his desk in the gleaming glass-and-steel office that had been hastily arranged for him. The sun poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows across the sleek wooden surface. Bridget was already there, her posture as composed as ever, a cup of coffee in hand. She had always been the steady one between them—methodical, precise, the mastermind behind the scenes. But Kendrick knew, deep down, that her approval was something he couldn’t take for granted. She didn’t give it easily.“Last night went
A Billionaire in Disguise; Worthless to Worthy son-in-law. CHAPTER 282
It had been a month since Kendrick and Bridget first began their campaign to reshape the city’s future. Meetings were turning into coalitions, promises into commitments, and money into infrastructure. But with every success, a new challenge emerged. A new villain. And some of the most dangerous ones, Kendrick had learned, didn’t wear suits. It was a Friday morning when Kendrick first encountered one of these figures face-to-face. He had just stepped out of a meeting with the city’s school board, discussing the launch of a new scholarship program aimed at refugees. The initiative was a critical step in providing the next generation with the tools to succeed, but as Kendrick left the building, his phone buzzed with a message from Bridget.“Meet me at the office. We need to talk.”Kendrick’s brow furrowed. Bridget never asked for his presence without reason. It wasn’t like her to sound anything but confident, but this message felt different. He made his way to the office, a knot forming

The ride back from Kent's office was quiet, the weight of the conversation pressing down on Kendrick and Bridget like a fog that refused to lift. The world outside the car seemed distant, a blur of motion that didn’t seem to matter in the face of the battle they were now entrenched in.Kendrick’s mind raced with a thousand thoughts. Kent’s words echoed in his head. it’s about power. That was the crux of it all, wasn’t it? Kent wasn’t just defending his business empire. He was fighting for control of everything—the city's infrastructure, the media, even the political system. He didn’t care about people, about progress, about change. He cared about keeping everything locked down, about ensuring that no one could threaten the carefully constructed world he had built.And Kendrick? Kendrick wasn’t the kind of man who would stand by and watch. He wasn’t going to let a single man, no matter how powerful, hold the city hostage.But how do you fight someone like Kent?

The rally wasn’t just about making a statement—it was about survival. Kent wasn’t just a businessman. He was the embodiment of everything Kendrick and Bridget had been fighting against. And if they couldn’t stop him now, they might never get another chance.He pulled out his phone, dialing a number he hadn’t used in years. The line rang for a moment before it was picked up.“Kendrick? Is everything alright?”It was Marco, an old ally from his days in the business world—someone who had been a part of his rise and had since dropped off the radar. Kendrick hadn’t heard from him in months. But now, he needed every connection, every resource, and Marco had the kind of influence that could turn the tide.“We need help,” Kendrick said, cutting straight to the point. “I’m organizing a rally tomorrow.

Two months had passed and Kendrick sat in his office, staring out the window at the city below. His thoughts were heavy, a weight pressing on his chest. It had been a long week of meetings, phone calls, and strategic planning. The life he had always known was starting to feel… too small. There had to be more to it. There had to be more he could do with the success he had built.“Hey, Kendrick, you alright?” Xavier’s voice broke through his reverie. Xavier was his trusted Personal Assistant, his right-hand man. Tall, sharp-witted, and always on top of things, Xavier had a way of cutting through the noise, always providing clear direction when Kendrick needed it most.Kendrick turned to look at him, offering a faint smile. “Just thinking,” he said, his voice laced with uncertainty.Xavier sat down across from him, the concerned look not going unnoticed. “What’s going on?

That same evening, the air was cold as the convoy drove back into the estate. The powerful engines purred one last time before falling silent, and the guards swiftly dispersed to their respective quarters. Only the three ladies remained, stepping out of the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, their movements graced with excitement as they walked into the mansion. Bridgette pulled off her glasses, tucking them into her clutch as she stretched her legs. The exhilaration of the drive still buzzed through her, but the weight of unknown happiness pressed down on her shoulders. Evelyn, still sipping her wine, exhaled deeply.“Well,” she mused, “that was a ride worth every second.”Emily grinned as she shoved her phone into her pocket. “And worth every headline. Social media’s still on fire… Come see this.” She said, stretching out her phone to her sister. “I knew it would be just that way, baby girl.” Evelyn replied as she flung her skirt.Bridgette chuckled, the sound light but short-lived.

Inside the queen's ride, Bridgette adjusted her sunglasses, the morning light reflecting off the deep sapphire-blue hood. Beside her, Evelyn smirked, sipping an iced latte as if they weren’t about to take the most extravagant ride of their lives.From the backseat, Emily Peterson, the youngest of the Peterson siblings, clicked her tongue as she scrolled through her phone. “The whole city is talking about this car. Social media is blowing up.”Evelyn chuckled. “Well, it’s not every day someone gives their wife a $28-million-dollar car just because they can.”Bridgette shook her head, amused. “You make it sound so excessive.”Evelyn shot her a look. “Oh, sweetheart, it is exce

For the first time in what felt like forever, Bridgette felt light unburdened. She sat beside Kendrick, fingers clung to his, her free hand resting protectively on her stomach.The man who had once been a stranger to her, even as her husband, now looked at her with hope and delight. Then, as the music softened, Kendrick smiled, his voice low and intimate. “Tell me something, love.”Bridgette turned, meeting his piercing gaze. “What is it?”He smirked. “If you could have any car in the world, which one would it be?”Bridgette’s brows furrowed in confusion before she let out a breathless laugh. “We have enough cars to last a lifetime, Kendrick. I don’t think I need another.”Kendrick shook his head. “That’s not what I asked. Humor me.”Bridgette rolled her eyes playfully, tapping a finger to her chin as if deep in thought. “Fine,” she mused. “

But tonight, that joy reigned, as if the very walls of the estate sighed in relief.Bridgette sat beside Kendrick on the plush velvet couch in the main parlor, her fingers glued with his.

CHAPTER 330.
Very early the next day, Bridgette sat in the grand Peterson mansion, her fingers trembling as she clutched the warm cup of tea Evelyn had given her. The weight of her confession hung between them, thick and suffocating. Evelyn's blue eyes bore into her, searching for any hint of deception, but all she found was raw, unfiltered confusion.“You… don’t remember?” Evelyn’s voice was careful, measured.Bridgette swallowed hard. “No, I…I swear, Evelyn. I can’t remember ever being with someone. But I’m pregnant.” Her voice cracked on the last word.Evelyn exhaled, setting her cup down. She knew Bridgette wasn’t lying. The woman before her was unraveling, struggling to piece together a puzzle with missing fragments. But what worried her most was the implication.Bridgette was pregnant. And if what she was saying was true, then there was only one possibility.Kendrick.Evelyn’s stomach churned. “Bridgette… the night you went to see Kendrick at rehab, do you remember anything? Anything at all

With Lisa’s heart pounding as the nurse’s words echoed in her mind the second time."Pregnant. Bridgette was pregnant!"She blinked, trying to process the weight of that revelation. Of all the things that had happened, this was the most unexpected. She glanced at her best friend lying unconscious on the hospital bed, her face pale and damp with sweat.Lisa ran a shaky hand through her hair, glancing between Bridgette and the nurse. “Are you sure?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.The nurse gave a small smile. “Yes. The test results confirmed it. It’s still early, but she needs to take care of herself. Stress isn’t good for the baby.”Lisa swallowed hard, her mind reeling. How was Bridgette going to handle this? With everything going on Kendrick’s condition, the unanswered questions about his attack, this pregnancy would change everything.Just then, Bridgette let out a soft groan, her fingers twitching slightly. Lisa snapped back to the present, moving closer to the bed."

Kendrick had begun his rehabilitation exercises, he was determined to regain full use of his left leg. Each step was a battle, his muscles straining under the effort to move in synchrony. The quiet focus of the room was broken when Xavier walked in, on his trail was his sister, Evelyn. As soon as Evelyn’s eyes landed on Kendrick, her composure melted. She ran across the hall, towards him, her emotions casting all caution to the wind. Without caring, she wrapped him in a tight embrace. Kendrick froze, wobbling slightly as he struggled to balance on his good leg. His hands hovered in the air, uncertain whether to return the gesture or not. His brows furrowed, confusion evident on his face. He didn’t recognize this woman, and instinctively, he knew she wasn’t Bridgette. Tears streamed down Evelyn’s face as she whispered, her voice trembling, “I’m so glad you’re alive. I thought you were dead—that I’d lost you forever.” “Dead?” The word rang in Kendrick’s mind like an alarm. His expr
