The Billionaire Takeover CHAPTER 23
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

Kraig walked Carolene outside, shutting the terrace doors behind him. As they stood by the entrance, Carolene glanced at Kraig and remarked, "I hope you're not going too far." Kraig assured her, "No, just outside. A friend is waiting for me." Carolene, with a playful smile, commented, "Boys and their games. Probably coming for a round with you?" Kraig chuckled, "Not exactly. It's a she, actually." Carolene's surprise was evident, but she quickly composed herself and feigned a smile. "Oh, a female friend. Well then, you shouldn't keep her waiting. Go on." Kraig appreciated her understanding, "Thanks, Carolene. I'll be back soon." With that, he rushed outside leaving Carolene alone with her thoughts on the terrace. Outside, Kraig found Wynn waiting for him. She expressed gratitude, "I didn't get to thank you properly earlier." Wynn handed him a shopping bag, and as Kraig peeked inside, he discovered a pair of designer sneakers and a branded shirt and pants. Wynn explained, "I kn

At the University... Jade excitedly approached Lisa, her friend, in the school hallway, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Lisa, I've got the perfect picture for the school blog," she whispered, a sly smile playing on her lips. Intrigued, Lisa leaned in, curious about the juicy gossip Jade had stumbled upon. Jade revealed the photoshopped image of Wynn supposedly engaged to an older man. The scandalous picture had the potential to create waves in the school. With devious intent, Jade decided to share the manipulated picture on the school blog, ensuring it would reach every student's phone. Phones across the campus simultaneously beeped with notifications, and laughter erupted as the doctored image circulated. Kraig who was seated in the classroom, observed that everyone's phone beeped in a accordance. His gaze darted around, and when it fell on Jade and her friends, he knew something 2ws definitely up. At first, he had no interest in whatever they must have posted on the sc

Carolene's unexpected presence at the school took Kraig by surprise. As she waved at him, he approached her, a puzzled expression on his face. "Carolene, what are you doing here?" Without hesitation, carolene walked closer to Kraig and pulled him into a tight hug. She then looked at him and smiled, "I wanted to see you, Kraig." Kraig's eyes narrowed further, as he stared at her dazedly. For a moment he was stunned, he never realized that they were this close for her to visit at school and even hugged him. He sighed heavily, unable to fix his gaze on hers. His response was curt, "I'm busy. Carolene, I can't talk to you right now. it's still school hours and I'm not supposed to be out here. You have to leave ma'am." The formality in his tone was palpable. Carolene was taken aback by the sudden distance. She felt a twinge of hurt. After their talk last night, she had thought that they've gotten closer, but it didn't seem like it as Kraig was giving her some distance. Kraig

Wynn held Kraig's hand and asked, "What is it Kraig?" When Kraig stared into her eyes, and wanted to tell her he was the heir, Wynn's eyes wavered and fell on Wesley. "The young master is really handsome." Wynn muttered as she bite her lips. Kraig was speechless as he turned to stare at Wesley. As Wynn's eyes fell upon Wesley, she found herself captivated by his handsome demeanor. With a slight blush tinting her cheeks, she murmured, "The young master is really handsome," biting her lip with a mixture of admiration and shyness. Kraig, caught off guard by Wynn's comment, turned his gaze towards Wesley, Seizing the opportunity, Wynn approached Wesley with a courteous smile, her hand still entwined with Kraig's. "I apologize again for bumping into you, young master." Wesley, surprised by the assumption that he was the DeVille heir, decided not to correct Wynn. Instead, he graciously acknowledged her apology. "No need to worry, my dear. Accidents happen." Kraig, observing Wesley
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 29
As the tension between Kraig and Wesley escalated, Kraig said, "Do whatever you want, Wesley. But tell me, why are you here in Korea? To visit a sick grandfather, or are you trying to claim an inheritance that isn't rightfully yours?" Wesley, unfazed by Kraig's direct questioning, leaned back, swirling the contents of his glass. With a sly smile, he responded, "Oh, Kraig, you're always full of surprises. As for my reasons, let's just say they're personal." Kraig, growing increasingly frustrated, couldn't decipher Wesley's motives. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the two men, Carolene had been discreetly eavesdropping on their conversation. Offended by Wesley's vague response, she decided it was time to shut him up. Walking closer to Wesley with a stern expression, Carolene confronted him. "Wesley, your words are disrespectful. This is not a game, and the DeVille estate is not a playground for your amusement." Wesley, seemingly amused by Carolene's assertiveness, chuckled. "Ah, Carolene

At school, amidst the hustle and bustle, Jade mustered the courage to approach Kraig. However, her attempts to engage him were met with silence, as Kraig remained focused on his path. Undeterred, Jade quickened her pace, running to catch up with him. "Kraig! Wait!" she exclaimed, hoping to grab his attention. Kraig, unyielding, finally turned to face her, his expression stern. "Jade, I told you to leave me alone." Ignoring his request, Jade took a deep breath and said, "I need your attention, Kraig. It's important." Kraig, skeptical but willing to hear her out, sighed. "Fine, what do you want?" Jade hesitated for a moment before blurting out, "Do you really know the DeVilles?" Kraig raised an eyebrow, curious about her sudden interest. "What's it to you? Is this about the heir?" Jade, caught off guard by the directness of his question, stammered, "Well, I... I just need to know." Unmoved, Kraig began to walk away, dismissing her inquiry. "I don't have time for this." Desperati

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
