The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 134
Juan was dumbfounded. The intrigue that the news of her actions had erupted suddenly washed down, he rose to his feet angrily."What do you mean that it was Wynn?"Leah still could not meet his eyes, she rested her chin on her shoulder, avoiding his gaze, avoiding his questions, avoiding anything that woukd cause his anger to worsen."You had people rape Wynn?" He asked loudly which attracted the eyes of some people in the cafe."It's nkt what you think"."That's bullshit, did you or did you not do it?" He asked."I did, but…""But nothing!" He yelled, "you have such a cruel heart, you employed people to rsoe her, why?"Leah coudknt take his yelling anymore, she angrily turned her face to him, matching his eyes as she stood to her feet."It was because of yoh, you had been the one who caused all this. Yoh told me you only had sex wuth me because i was the closest thing yo Wynn thst yoh could find. What the hell does that even mean? Its all your fault. You caused this to happen!"Juan

"Wh..what?" Kraig blinked twice he shook his head as he stared at the woman again. She didn't look to be much older than he was. If anything, she woukd have just a couple of years on him.She smiled at him before moving to the empty chair beside the one jade occuoied, "can we start this meeting now?" She asked as she took a seat even though she wasn't offered one.Jade saw how fixated Kraig was on her, and although she woukd orefer not to leave yet because she really wanted to understand how he fekt about the issue with Wynn, she had to leave. This wasnt her scene and from the look of pure interesf in Kraig's eyes, she fekt that this meeting was going yo turn out to be something else.She cleared her throat, "I think I'll be leaving now". She rose yo her feet. "Please don't leave on my account," Tabitha said with a hand on her chest and innocence in her eyes.Jade shook her head with a smile, "your meeting is about yo start, I cannot impose".Tabitha shook her head, "it doesn't matt

Jade immediately choked on her saliva. She coughed repeatedly, hitting her chest."I didn't mean to surprise you this way". Tabitha said, "you must've suspected that, didn't you?"Jade finally stopped coughing and cleared her throat, she brought her fingers to her eyes to dry the tears that appeared, "yes, I thought so. But I didn't expect you to just come at me like that".Tabitha didn't seem to concern herself wuth hoe Jade was feeling, "you know about me and i know about you, so what's the need to pretend we don't know each other?"Jade shook her head. Tabitha had just been mentioned, there had been no defintie conversation about her and so, to say that she knew anything about Tabitha was wrong. She wanted to clear the air but she coukd read the air and she knew tht Tabitha didnt seem to be quite pleased with her."How do you two know each other?"Tabitha tucked an invisible strand of hair behind her ear, "it diesnt hsve anything tk do with you. All you need to know is that the tw

Kraig drove back in. The maidservants were already used to the irregularity of his arrival. Sometimes he goes to work in the morning and comes back late at night, other times he goes in the afternoon and comes back before the sun sets and there are akso days like this when he leaves in the morning and comes back before five in the evening.And so they always made sure thst whatever they prepared waiting for his arrival was already set hours ago.Like today, before leaving the office, he had instructed them to prepare some snacks and coffee in wait for the detective that would be joining him. The maids were wise enough to prepare those things the second the cakk dropped.Kraig walked in to the kitchen hoping to find all that he requested for already set and waiting for him. Well, not only did he find what he was looking for, he akso found jade, pouring a bottle of wine into a glass.Their eyes met when he entered the kitchen."I thought you'd still be out wth Tabitha".Jade scoffed the

Kraig instantly pulled away from Jade, making sure that the distance between them was more than five feet. He smoothened his clothes, looking everywhere but her face."Detective?" Be said as he walked to take his hand in an handshake.Jade cleared her throat, downing the rest liquid in her glass hoping that it would suppress her sudden raging heart.Fabio smiled, he took Kraig's hands with a smile. He made sure to scrutinize his expression and as a detective, he detected the pigmentation in his eyes and how he kept sniffling.He understood what hsd just happened. But in his head, he bad a question.Why was he making it weird?"I brought with me my work, I hope I'm not intruding?" He asked as he flashed the bag he was holding with contained the files he could acquire about those men.Kraig nodded his head, "let's take this to the living room". Kraig said as he gestured to the exit of the kitchen.Meanwhile Jade still remained there. The alcohol couldn't suppress her heart, the moist on

Kraig took in a deep breath. He forced a smile out to Jade and gave her a shaking nod."I'm not moping; I'm fine."He had no idea that Jade was such a caring person. These mundane things made him realize that somehow, somewhere, he had developed an idea of her. He thought she was so detached from emotions, from caring for other people, but only now has he been proven wrong.He smiled again.Jade nodded her head; she felt better having told them the truth. She didn't understand why it had felt really weird to just tell him that she had been concerned about him. But now that she could say it to him without overthinking it, she felt utterly relieved."So what do you need me for?" Jade asked, trying to get the attention away from her. The awkward air needed to be cleared out, and as he reached for the table to get some of the papers spread out, she made sure to avoid Kraig's eyes."We have this person who we think should have more on him than what we already know," Fabio passed her a pict

The whole homicide department could hear the hurried footsteps of Christian as he ran toward his partner. With a laptop in hand, his steps were smooth, as if practiced. After navigating through many desks and chairs for ages, he had become quite adept, so it wasn't much of a big deal.All he needed to do was make his way over to Daniel as soon as possible.The partner he was hurrying to meet was sitting still in his chair, scrolling through social media as he searched for a particular person.There were many pictures of him, but there were no personal accounts. He didn't realize that Kraig had so many fans taking pictures of him until today. He wanted to laugh.Then suddenly, somebody stopped in front of him, panting heavily, showing the proof that he had run his way there.Daniel didn't lift his head; he just casually continued to scroll through his social media."Why were you running?""I have something to show you," Christian said amidst heavy breaths. He held his chest and bent do

Carolene was set to get ready for the night. She had her skincare products applied to her face and a silk pink nightwear. She had left her door open, thinking, wishing that Jade would decide to come visit while she was asleep like she had done the previous time.Carolene hopped off the bed, turning the lamp beside her off, bathing the room in an unknown darkness.Then suddenly knocks came from her door.Carolene frowned. It definitely wasn't the person she was expecting because these days, Jade had taken it upon herself the liberty to stroll in and out of the room as if it belonged to her. It wasn't as if Carolene would say something about it. It actually pleased her.So, for this person to be knocking, it wasn't Jade, and that meant she didn't want the person anywhere around her. She didn't want the person in her room, disturbing her sleep.She walked to the bed, already feeling irritated with every step she took. As she reached the door, she opened it.Margot stood on the other side

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
