The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 144
Jade looked at him dead in the eyes. The thought of making peace with him quickly evaporated. She didn't say anything, only turned back to the detectives and nodded.The ambiance of the table transformed into something else as a result of the small fight that just occurred. The detectives, Fabio and Christian to be precise, because Daniel couldn't care less about the fight, looked at each other. Both of them wondering how the mention of Carolene's name just turned the air into something else.They stayed shut, keeping their questions to themselves as they waited to hear from Jade her reply to the accusation made against her.Instead, they saw her turn to them with an unreadable expression."So when are we going there?" She asked."Tonight, the earlier the better," Daniel said.Jade nodded, "we'll be ready."After the meeting with the detectives, Jade took a taxi to her workplace while Kraig drove to his company. He thought back to the fight he had with Jade and wondered if he had been

Kraig gave another hard stare at the mirror. He had his face clean-shaven as always, but now, he had removed any form of stubble just to appear smooth and classy. His hair silkily left strands over his face, the rest of them gelled to the back to give the shape of his face more definition. The undercut was shaved again to highlight its importance.In a nutshell, he looked grand, especially when his facial features were matched with a midnight blue suit and a black shirt underneath. The first three buttons of the shirt were left undone, and so was the jacket.He knew he looked great. The party Lady T was throwing was set for tonight, and so was the mission they had to do. The plan was to first go to the bar, and then later, he would go to the party.He had no idea if Jade also got an invitation, but it did not matter to him.He glanced at the wristwatch around his wrist.Only a few hours left before he could text Wynn.He smiled; it was something worth looking forward to.Kraig proceed

Juan Leith took Wynn's hand into his own and gave it a gentle caress. His words had been the truth. Coming from someone who was known to be sort of dishonest, the misconception that he was lying hovered over their table.Though she felt that he was lying, her heart was still beating for how he politely asked. Everything about her that night seemed to revolve around Juan. She was truthfully swooned by him, regardless of the fact that a huge part of her believed that he was lying to her.She still, however, had her heart beating fast.Perhaps it was the guilt that was stabbing at her chest. It was probably the name that was ringing in her head.She liked the idea of being the woman Juan wanted to court, but her heart was still with Kraig, no matter how much she tried to work around it. She loved him even though he didn't understand her. Even though he kept smothering her with his affections and worry, even though every part of her was irritated by the sight of him. He had been the man w

"I thought you were going to bring your bodyguards along?" Daniel marched up to Kraig and Jade who were standing by their car at the side of the road.They were the only ones around; this was the point they were supposed to meet up with the detectives after leaving the bar. Kraig had just pulled over when he saw Daniel storming towards him, yelling in a tone he had never heard from Daniel before. He admitted that he had been wrong. The truth was that he had completely forgotten about the idea of the guards; he had not even realized that he was without any protection. But now, after hearing what the twins said, he wondered if there was any need for guards.He was, after all, the first person on the list, the most important person. So it meant he was protected whether or not he wanted to be.He put his hands up in fear as Daniel drew closer, "I had completely forgotten," he said, "I just didn't remember."Daniel frowned, "that had been a very risky thing you did. What if something had

Kraig arrived at the oarty afyer dropping jade at the mansion. He had driven jis car in full soeed just because he wanted to meet up. When he arrived at the venue, he saw difdernt cars parked there. The building was tall and well made. He had never encountered suxh a olace before and he found I veey alien. From the structure of the olace, he understood that this was the company that she was celebrating. He was really impressed. He parked his own car amd then hurried to the entrance, preening himsef as he reached where the bouncer stood. He reached into his jacket for his invitation, but the bouncer already had the door open for him. "Arent you gonna look at my invitation?" The bouncer showed him a list, "your name is already here sir." He said, "number one" Kraig's heart skipped a beat. He looked around and then towards the ooen door wondering what it is that he had gotten himself in. Wondering if tis was just a simple party. When he walked in, he saw that he had just beem

Jade was caught of guard by that name that she had mentioned, she wanted to believe that showcase hearing correctly that she had bugs in her ears. This was the woman that hardly replied to Kraig's text messages, doesn't take his calls but she just admitted that Juan had been making her laugh? Damn! Kraig would've made her laugh tok if she hadn't been such a bitch! Jade took in a deep breath. This had nothing to do with her. She wasn't Kraig neither was she Kraig's best friend and this again, had nothing to do with her. And also, she recalled that Wynn had been raped and guessed that it was maybe some response to the trauma that made her to start avoiding him. Though she didn't understand her reasons, she wanted to give it a try because this was someone who had gone through a lot and she couldn't even begin to imagine how she was feeling like. Despite her rage, jade calmed down, "so you and juan are close?" Wynn nodded, "its just good to be around someone who doesn't know about

Kraig looked at her confusedly. He recalled that she had tacitly suggested such a thing in the hospital then, but he couldn't even entertain the idea of such a thing happening. He thought that though Leah was a lot of bullshit, she surely wouldn't be that evil. He had thought wrong. Looking at the video on Jade's phone, he knew that she clearly was evil. His eyes darted to Jade, "so Leah hired some people to rape Wynn?" He asked again as if he hadn't just watched the video. Jade nodded; she was still very excited, the fear that Leah had ignited inside her was still apparent but was not as profound as before. "What were her reasons?" Jade frowned, "her reasons?" She asked unbelievably. She didn't expect that he would ask such a thing as if there were any reasons good enough to unleash such evil on anyone. "Are you fucking kidding me?" She asked, "what reason could there be? She shouldn't have done what she did and no matter what Wynn did to her, this was purely just evil!" Kraig
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 151
Kraig walked into the precinct, following the directions of a police officer, and found his way to the homicide department. He knew he garnered attention as he walked through the precinct—from the entrance to the reception and down to the homicide department. Eyes followed him, whether they belonged to cops or criminals. Everybody stared. On any other day, Kraig would have been sure that he couldn't walk into the homicide department without blushing furiously at the attention. But right now, he was angry, in a hurry, and desperately wanted to get Leah arrested. The superfluously large precinct added to the irritation he was feeling. He kept walking but was still yet to find the department he was looking for, and there were quite a number of people there, for some reason, wouldn't move out of the way. After many anger-inducing incidents, Kraig finally stopped in front of a door. He walked in and saw that there were about seven to ten tables; he had passed by a lot of doors, peering

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.
