The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 17
Kraig carefully helped Madam Zury to her feet after the director's cruel slap. Her frail form trembled as she stood, her eyes still moist from the stinging pain on her cheek. Kraig's anger simmered beneath the surface, but for now, he focused on getting Madam Zury out of this place.As they made their way out of the room and into the garden, a sense of relief washed over them. The remaining children were gathered with Howie and Wynn, along with one of the more caring nurses who had always looked out for the kids.Madam Zury's gaze shifted to the children, and she paused in her steps. Her heart ached at the sight of the young faces, their eyes filled with confusion and concern. She turned to Kraig, her voice wavering with worry, "Kraig, my dear, I can't leave them behind. How will we survive, and where would we they go?"Kraig gazed at the children, realizing that there were about 14 of them, ranging in age from 6 to 10. He gently placed a hand on Madam Zury's shoulder and assured

Madam Zury, despite the concerns raised by Isabella about her health, wore a determined smile. Zury reassured her, "I appreciate your kindness, Isabella, but I'll be alright. No surgery for me. The most important thing right now is finding a better place for these children to live."Isabella's eyes filled with compassion as she asked, "Are there any other issues you're facing that we should know about?"Madam Zury sighed softly before sharing, "Well, you see, the new owner of this orphanage wants to change the building into something else. That's why we're in such a dire situation."Isabella's expression remained empathetic. "I see. You've been through a lot, Madam Zury, but I want to help. Let me speak with someone from our organization. We might be able to find a suitable place for the children to live, a place like the DeVille Hospitable."Madam Zury's eyes widened in surprise . "If you could do that, Isabella, it would mean the world to us. We desperately need a safe and secure p

Kraig stared at the director in surprise. "How did you know about my identity?"The director chuckled softly and confessed, "I overheard your phone call with Isabella. I couldn't help but listen in."Kraig couldn't help but shake his head at the absurdity of the situation. "You eavesdropped on my conversation and yet wanted to throw me out of the orphanage earlier."The director's expression turned somewhat regretful. "I was hasty and foolish, Kraig. If I had known who you were from the beginning, I would have treated you better."Kraig couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "You really think I'd want to associate with people like you?"Just as the tension between Kraig and the director was escalating, two men entered the orphanage. It was Kyle, and a other man dressed up in fancy suits.Kyle pretended not to recognize Kraig as he asked for the director of the orphanage.The director stepped forward and replied, "I'm the director. What can I do for you?"Kyle chuckled lightly as he intro

Kraig sat in the back of the cab, anxiety gnawing at him as he watched the Bentley carrying Wynn disappear into the distance. There was a knot in his stomach, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Without hesitation, he decided to call Luke, one of the security personnel he trusted. After a few rings, Luke answered the call. "Kraig, what's up?" Kraig's voice was filled with urgency. "Luke, I need you to find out everything you can about Wynn, and I mean everything. Follow that Bentley, check where it goes, who's inside, and anything unusual." Luke responded with a quick, "Understood, Kraig. I'll get on it right away." Kraig ended the call and leaned back in his seat, his mind racing with worry for Wynn. The cab soon arrived at the DeVille mansion, and Kraig rushed inside, his thoughts consumed by concern for his grandfather. He made his way to his grandfather's bedroom, where he found Kyle and a doctor in deep conversation. Kraig's eyes welled up with emotio

"What did you say?" Juan scoffed and walked down to meet Kraig, he pushed Kraig away from Kyle, and called to the security, "Get him out of here." Kyle was confused, as he stood there, "What's the meaning of this?" Griffin noticed that Kyle was upset with how Kraig was being treated, he walked to Juan feigning ignorance, "Juan, you shouldn't treat your fellow students that way." He walked to Kraig who was standing aside, and said, "Kraig, I'm sorry for Juan's behavior, please forgive him." Kraig snickered. He couldn't believe the sudden change in Griffin's attitude. As Griffin tried to help him adjust his sleeves, Kraig pushed him aside. "What are you doing?" Griffin's eyes darkened. There was a glint of disgust in his eyes as he stared at Kraig, but when he heard the stride of someone from behind him, his lips widened as he feigned a smile. "Mr Kyle, there is no need to pay attention to kids. You know how they are, they argue and make-up all the time. Juan is a good friend

The stepmother eyed him with disdain, her response laced with hostility. "Oh, another one of Wynn's friends? Shouldn't she be focusing on her studies instead of entertaining boys?" Wynn remained silent, her eyes reflecting a mix of discomfort and frustration. For a moment Kraig was speechless, and when his gaze met Wynn's, he noticed she was a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable with his presence. "We're just friends, and we study together sometimes." Undeterred, the stepmother continued her tirade, accusing Wynn of misplaced priorities. Kraig decided it was best not to engage further, sensing the futility of reasoning with her. At that moment, an older man, Collins, approached the table. "I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting, I had a meeting with the CEO of the hotel." The man smiled and his gaze fell on Wynn. He sat at the chair opposite to Wynn and said, "Wynn darling, would you sit beside me? I think that'd be more appropriate." He grinned and his yellowish bug teeth that p

Wynn ran outside, her heart clutching tight as she hits her chest. Tears streamed down Wynn's face as the reality of her predicament sank in. Just then, she spotted Kraig talking to Kyle. With a mixture of relief and despair, she approached them. Kraig did sense Wynn's distress and walked over to her. "Wynn, is everything okay? Do you gave any other trouble." Wynn's voice was trembling as she said, "I didn't know my stepmother hated me this much. I can't believe she's willing to go this far." Kraig, surprised to discover Camille was not Wynn's biological mother, tried to comprehend the situation. "Stepmother?" he repeated, seeking clarification. Wynn nodded, tears still in her eyes. "Yes, and I don't know what to do. Collins, the man they want me to marry, he's just a pawn in her game." Kraig, determined to help, assured her, "You won't have to go through this at all. By morning, your family will receive news from young master DeVille." Wynn's gaze locked with Kraig's for a m

As they entered the car, Carolene's gaze lingered on Kraig. Her fingers clenched at the hem of her dress. The man in front of her was charming, and cute. To say that his appearance was all that made him elegant would be wrong. The man's countenance and his composure was one that Carolene found to be attractive. The man was everything she wanted in her man, except the fact that he keeps staring at his phone every seconds. After a long while she heard him say, "Is there something on your mind, Carolene?" Kraig felt pretty uncomfortable when he noticed Carolene's gaze on him. It felt as though he couldn't do any wrong. She hesitated for a moment before responding, "No, it's just... I can't help but wonder about your life. I was also an orphan until Wesley's father found me." Kraig, intrigued by how she have lived, asked, "Are you and Wesley not related?" Carolene shook her head, "No, we're not. But his father took me in and treated me like family. We've always referred to each

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
