The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 35
Everybody watched how the bouquet went from Wesley's hand to Wynn's own. As her fingers wrapped themselves around the bouquet, Wynn felt the rush of pleasure, the satisfying feeling of having won a competition. She felt like she was walking on staes. Excitedly, she giggled, her eyes meeting Wesley's own in adoration and affection. "I was worried about you, so I decided to come see you. I couldn't stop thinking about you," Wesley added to his gesture. Wynn was swooned; she hopped to her feet and jumped on him, giving him a tight hug, feeling every cotton used to make his outfit as she hugged him dearly, as if she was clinging to life. He also reciprocated such. He hugged her just the same, holding her the way he knew she would like to be held. Jade and Kraig were the only ones not smiling about this scene playing out. Kraig had an unreadable expression on his face, and Jade was frowning. They were both filled with animosity while they watched the couple. Kraig was better than Jade
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 36
During the shopping spree, Kraig couldn't focus on what she was picking, on their conversation, on anything entirely. He was mainly focused on the realization that just dawned on him regarding his feelings for her. He had always known that she had a special place in his heart; he thought that there was just pure friendship, worry, affection, and platonic love. But, this sudden realization frightened him. He was not the man that she needed; he was not the man that could offer her anything. These would be her thoughts, these would be her reasons for not even thinking, of not even entertaining the idea that they could be together because to her, Kraig was just a worthless driver with no real income. She needed someone to help her company, someone to provide her family with wealth, someone who would be able to rescue her family, and although he was capable of doing that, it was just that he wasn't really out to the public as the real heir; to them, he was just a driver, and he even does
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 36
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 her, "I'll find a way, Madam Zury. You all won't be stranded. But for now, let's focus on getting you to a hospital." Madam Zury let out a soft, melancholic laugh. "Oh, Kraig, you're a good-hearted boy, but don't burden yourself with this. Concentrate on your studies. You have a

Kraig glanced at his phone but there was still no report from Kyle. He haven't reported back about the building he is to find temporary for the orphans. He needed to call Kyle. When he spotted Wynn in the crowd, he waved at her to help him take Zury to the children. "Wynn, please help Madam Zury. She needs to be with the children for now. I'll be back soon." Without waiting for a response, Kraig hurriedly walked away from the garden. He looked around for a quiet spot so he could call Kyle. Kraig quickly dialed Kyle's number, a sense of urgency pushing him as he waited for his friend to answer. Finally, Kyle's voice came through the phone, "Kyle, what's taking you so long?" Kraig wasted no time and got straight to the point. "Kyle, did you find another place for the orphans?" Kyle's voice was laced with relief. "Yes, I did. It's not too far from here. But how are you planning to bring all those kids there without them suspecting a thing?" Kraig leaned against a tree, his min

"Oh, Kraig, you're a good-hearted boy, but don't burden yourself with this. Concentrate on your studies. You have a bright future ahead." Kraig hesitated for a moment. He desperately wanted to tell Madam Zury the truth, to share the news that he had found his family, but the words stuck in his throat. Instead, he nodded in agreement. "I will definit

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.

Kraig furrowed his brow, intrigued. "On what basis?"Kyle explained, "We can make some group of the DeVille Healthcare Foundation come over to the orphanage in disguise of an conducting a medical outreach program for underprivileged children. They'll come over to the orphanage for immunization and health check-ups. It's a perfect excuse, especially since Madam Zury isn't well."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 lightl

I'm here to inform you that the orphanage has been purchased by the DeVille Group from the Co's Foundation. As of now, you and your staff are to vacate the building within an hour."The director was left utterly speechless by this unexpected news. His face turned red with a mix of shock and anger as he stammered, "What? How is that possible?"Kraig exchanged a knowing look with Kyle, they both smiled and Kyle frowned almost instantly. The director's gaze shifted to Kraig, suspicion in his eyes. "Is this your doing, Kraig? Did you arrange this?"Wynn couldn't hold back her frustration a

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
