The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 121
Fabio, sat in the blood red booth of a diner with his friends. His fingers wrapped around the coffee he ordered. The distinct scent of chicken and curry permeated the diner, gurgling the stomachs of everyone oresent exceot the three detectives that were busy going around the details of the case they were working on. Christian's eyebrows were scrunched up, the crease in between displayed the frustration dancing in his heart and the hand that grabbed his hair was another proof of such frustration. His friends were no different, Daniel who was not used to holding up expressions other than anger and apathy, was suddenly placed in a position where he could not hide the confusion of the facts built up like a maze around him. He was not good with mazes. Fabio on the other hand seemed tonhave gotten a sligj understanding of what they were dealing with. The hot coffee that hebhad downed blessed his tongue with a taste that was too strong and as such, rather unpleasant. But just like Daniel,

Jade looked at Carolene recognizing the grimace on her face, giving her a bit of tingle in her stomach. She ignired the feeling and turned away from Carolene, needing the distbace between them to be longer. Carolene however was more foxused on watching jow jade suddenky seemed so out of it. It gave her a sort of pleasure knowing. She shook her head. "And what am i going to do that for?" Jade asked as she olayed wuth the flower petals on the sife of the room. She had seen when Wesley was makingbthe orders for these flowers but it shocked her becauee she didn't see the florist or thebdekivery guy come in. It was a bouquet of roses, red, beautiful roses that tugged on her heart making it seem wuite ugly. "You do know that the DeVilles hav a secret". Carolene said. "Secret?" She asked, but then she suddenly remebered that they werent in the room alone. She turned to the nurse who was still writing on her journal she had her eyes oinned but jade could see that her ears shifted. She

Wynn shifted on the bed as she saw jade standing there looking at her. She could see the confusion in jade's eyes as they ransacked her, as if searching for something. Jade was busy looking over Wynn, teying to find out what coykd be the reason why she was laying down on a hospital bed. But no matter how deeply she looked, all she saw were mere scratches and whatnots but nothing seemingly serious. She rested on one leg, and folded her hands as she saw that Wynn was not in any dire condition "what are you doing in a hospital?" "She fekt like taking a vacation" Leah answered as as she moved closer to the muted Wynn. Wynn only gave jade another glance before she turned to the side and stared ahead. This sudden action surprised jade, she turned to where Leah was standing close to Wynn as if scared to go any closer. "What happened to her?" Jade asked. Leah looked at Wynn and wondered if it was okay to telk jade, seeng that Wynn wasn't saying anything, not even giving them an acknow

Kraig stands beside the door to Wynn's ward. He refuses to go in thinkingbthat Wynn woukd surely be uncomfortable with him aroynd. He bekeiebd that if yhe doctor wasnt wesring his coat that signifies he was a doctir, then surely Wynn woukdnt even want him anywhere close to her. He peered into the room where he saw the doctor having a conversation wuth Wynn. Thw conversation didnt look to be serious and considering their previous words, he believed that the doctor was telling her of their recent agreement. That she would bee seeing a therapist. It was better that the doctor explained things to her himslef so that she wouldn't get the wrong idea and think that Kraig was calking her stupid or broken. In this phase of her life, she was a very unpredictable woman and Kraig wasn't about to ket himself take the wrong step and end up pissing her off. When he saw that the conversation ended and the doctor was walking out kf the room, he quickly shifted from the door, satuing a few feet away

"You need me to chauffeur your princess?" Had had her hand on the vending machine door that she had pried open, she held a can of coke in her hand, with eyebrows raised and a quizzical looknin her eyes, she waited for Kraig's reply. Kraig took a deeo breath in. He hated being in this space, needeing to ask peole for help, especially when that person was jade. His relationship wuth jade had taken a lot of rides, and he now his feekings for her were daily inching towards the side of hatred. "Yes," he said, seeing the need to add further explanation, he said: "the doctor feels its better if shes around women and you're the only familiar woman I could find". Recalling that she had actually met Leah in the hospital, jade closed the door of the machine an then turned to Kraig, her ponytail dancing all thw way, "what about Leah, isn't she a woman?" Kraig desperately wanted to roll his eyes, he knew what jade was playing at. She wanted him to admit that she was important, she wanted him

Sat behind the wheel, jade heaves a sigh out, waiting patiently for the princess that shebaa about to drive to therapy. She hates being in this position, having to drive Wynn around like she was some kind of fucking help, but in order to acquire something, one needed to give something out and just so it happens, this was what she was giving out. Her time and dignity. The backseat door opened and jade immediately spun her head around, "what's the meaning of this?" She asked glaring at no one else but Kraig who held the door open for Wynn. "What is it?" "What happened to the passenger seat? Am I a fucking chauffer?" She asked seemingly angry. Kraig rolled his eyes, "stop being such an unreasonable person and just drive her". "I can sit in front" Wynn saif with a low voice. In everything she did, she made sure there was a considerable amount of space between herself and Kraig. His perfume, his masculinity reminded her of atwo nights ago when she had been gravely assaulted. She h

But then Kraig turned aroubd and caught her befire she could walk away. "Margot told me you threatened her" he said with his fingers wrapped around her wrist. "Why did you do that

Carolene's mouth was left hanging upon seeing the picture she just received. Her heart was thumping against her chest as if she just ran a marathon. Although she was extremely grateful for the picture, she couldn't fathom the reason why Jade would send her such a picture. Her knee was lifted high, a hand was on one of her boobs, pressing on it, exposing the flesh. The slit on the dress was so high it showed her inner thigh.With a click, the phone locked and was tossed away from Carolene."Fuck" she said as she gripped her hair.This was not the plan. This was not what she wanted.The way their relationship turned into this, this area where they don't know what it was that was existing between them, was actually too sudden. She didnt hate it the pace, it was the normal way she handled relationships in the past, but with his woman. She didn't want that. She was here, for a purpose, she had a mission, she was after something and this woman looked like she was going to be trouble.She

Juan had definitely had enough of bickering with Jade. He didn't get the whole idea surrounding her relationship with Carolene; if she liked girls, then she did. What was the whole deal?He looked around the room for a while, tired of looking at the blonde, tired of seeing her face and hearing her voice. He had come here for the specific reason of trying to recall how his life used to be so uncomplicated with her. And well, he recalled because entering here, he realized that he was small and minuscule in her life and as a result, insignificant and uncomplicated.Juan waved his hand at her, "just forget everything and just come out if you will.""Are you going to keep it a secret?" Jade asked again."If I'm asked, I will tell, if I'm not, then surely won't go spreading shit about you to who doesn't even want to listen," he said. "I think your biggest issue should be getting yourself better and getting out of this hellhole." He looked around again as if he had reached a new height of di

Daniel felt so frustrated; he didn't know what to say or even how to say whatever would come to his head. He wasn't in any way pleased with what he had just heard. And although he had no say in matters like this, his disgust was apparent.Kraig took in a deep breath, "I know you guys obviously hate that you're listening to this, and you feel that I am stupid." He sighed, "maybe I am stupid. I knew she is a criminal, but I still indulged; I still blurred the lines and just delved into this, and I'm coming to you with excuses such as these."Christian shook his head, "you've never been one to hang onto what has already happened. The whole thing has played out already, and instead of biting our fingers and wishing things were different, we would just be wasting our time.""So what do you propose we do?" Jraug inquired, seeing as one of them was not going to stay on the fact that he had been foolish."Well, I think you taking the initiative, regardless of your feelings for her, to inform

Jade paced around the room. Trying to reason with someone as simple-minded as Juan was proved to be anything but simple. She wanted to explain to him that if he did not change his statement or even pretend to be on her side at this moment, he was risking his head.She didn't know the abilities of Carolene, but surely, silencing a man so small, a man so insignificant would not be such a hard thing to do.However, she couldn't. There was a front that she was putting up for the world; Carolene was appearing as a weakling, a stupid blonde who did nothing but get pregnant for the most important man in the business world.But she was more than that. What she was was actually complicated, something that Jade couldn't guess but rather had an idea for. She was more complex than any of those men or women that would say a thing or two about her.And even this man in front of her had no idea who Carolene was, and that was why his request did not drift from a threesome.What the heck was even wron

Daniel took two steps forward. Though such a small number of steps should not possess the ability to completely obliterate the distance between them, but his strides were the guilty party.With just two steps, he now stood right beside Fabio as he peered into the evidence bag to scrutinize clearly the bullet kept within.Fabio was made cognizant of the imaginary distance between them. He felt Daniel's breath on his neck; he could smell the overpowering cologne, the aura of his being. Everything was too much for him; he had no choice but to take a step away from him.Daniel raised an eyebrow, "what is it?"Fabio rubbed his neck, trying to smoothen out the goosebumps that showed up on his skin, trying to rub away his presence away from him."If you want to look at it, here," he tossed it to him and then turned towards the funeral home where Wesley and his mother were still hiding.As Fabio approached, he saw that an older woman was placed on a stretcher and was being pushed towards the

Tabitha's heart raced violently in her chest. The anger that suddenly arose within her obviously had no recipient. If it was any other day, she could probably rant to Carolene, but the woman in front of her, sitting with a wrinkle between her eyebrows and a tired expression mixed with her livid one, surely wasn't in the mood to hear her bullshit.She cleared her throat and tried to work her way around her emotions, to be careful not to let Carolene's rage come upon her and to not let hers find comfort in Carolene.Tabitha bit her bottom lip until she drew blood. It was the best way to keep her lips shut. Her anger was nowhere near what Carolene would do to her if she spoke out of turn."Juan?"Carolene nodded her head, her fingers twirled in her hair as an exasperated sigh left her mouth."I have more reasons to kill him now." Their eyes met, "you were the one who wanted to keep him alive, why?"Tabitha immediately pulled her eyes away, bringing them beneath, showing the authority Car

Kraig took a step forward, the distance between him and Patricia only the space of two fingers. "I don't know why you are being like this," he said coldly and in utter disrespect. "I am the heir, I am the son of your nephew, and I apologize for the patriarchy, but I wasn't the one who made the rules.""And in addition, we have our own company we manage. Uncle had been quite understanding of how unfavorable the system is, and he gave us a company," Wesley said.Kraig raised an eyebrow in surprise, "so you have your own company, then what is your problem with me?""You own everything; you men took everything," she cried out. "I don't like this, I don't want this."Tabitha stood on the side, watching everything. She noted that surely it was because of the woman's age that was making her cranky and not just that; she might have some sort of disorder.When they first met, the woman had never really liked her, nor even tried to hide her disgust and hate. But as she thought, it could be beca

Leah woke up in the small room she had been waking up in for over a week. She could recall how she had gotten out of prison, but no matter how many times she thought about it, it just didn't make sense to her.The woman arrived at the cell with the keys that would free her, and then the two of them just walked out. There were people there, officers everywhere like a pandemic, but she just waltzed through the crowd like it was nothing, like they were all beneath her.And from what Leah had seen with her eyes. They were really beneath her.She jumped off the bed and checked the time on the small black alarm clock resting on the nightstand. It was over three in the afternoon. She was lucky.She had been given her own space where she would just exist. She had no idea what her role here was, but she assumed that it had something to do with the baby in her womb because they were always giving her food for two people and as such, she had added a lot of weight.She was still tall and slim and

Different exotic cars were parked in front of the simple funeral home. There were people coming from all directions with one aim in their hearts: to get to the funeral of Petrus DeVille. Although it was considered a tragic event, there were still reporters lined up across the place just so they could get an overview of what was going on in that small, cheap-looking funeral home.Kraig stood by the door as he welcomed people; some he recognized, but many were a mystery to him. He had a frown on his face, which should match the ceremony, but his frown had not generated from sadness but rather frustration.The last place he wanted to be caught in was standing by the door and addressing the people coming in and out. His grandfather did not deserve it.The noise reporters kept making and the noise from the funeral home joined together, giving Kraig a severe headache. He hated being there; he hated that he had to be the one welcoming people.His eyes went down to his black suit and ran his

The room was hot, the sun that illuminated it was hot. Thw air-conditioning was doing nothing to help with the heat. Wynn wondered if itnwas a heat wave or she was just too overwhelmed by rage. She paced around the room, unabke to settle, unable to sit still and carefully align her thoughts abd how she was feeling. The only thing shebwas thinking about, the onky thing shebhad been thinking about, the only thing she coykd think about were the words that Juan had told her thw day he came over.She coukd akso recall how poorly Camille had spoken to her blaming her for everything tgat happened to Leah.
