The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 48
Wesley’s phone rang, and he glanced at it curiously. He sighed when he saw Caroline’s name flashing as the caller. He ignored it. The phone kept ringing till it stopped. Wesley glanced back at the phone again when it vibrated. Carolene's urgent message flashed on Wesley's screen. "Wesley, Kraig's calling a press conference. Says he's revealing the real heir." Wesley's fingers tapped out a quick reply. "What? Why now?" "He didn't say. Just be ready. This changes everything," Carolene warned. "What do you think he's up to?" Wesley asked. "I have no idea, but like I said, it can't be good," Carolene replied. Wesley sighed as he looked at thin air. The press conference room buzzed with anticipation as Kraig stepped up to the podium. Cameras flashed, almost blinding him in the process as reporters readied their questions. He calmly waited for Kyle to give him the go ahead when his phone vibrated discreetly in his pocket. Surprised, he pulled it out to find a message from Wynn. "Wy
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 49
Wynn's heart pounded as she approached Derek's house, the sight of his car made her calm down knowing he is fine. She hesitated for a moment before mustering to see him. Opening the gate, she walked towards his car and saw Derek with another woman, the woman had her hands on Derek, touching him intimately . It was obvious that they had something between them. Shock and hurt gripped Wynn's chest. "Derek?" Her voice trembled as she called out, and his head snapped towards her, guilt flashing in his eyes. "What's going on?" Derek stammered an apology, his tone desperate. "Wynn, it's not what you think. I can explain." He ripped the woman’s hand away from his chest but the damage was already done. But explanations were meaningless when actions spoke louder than words. Wynn's disappointment hardened as she schooled her expression, "Explain? Derek, how could you?" She turned away, her eyes stinging with unshed tears. He followed her, his voice strained. "Wynn, please. I messed up, bu

Still standing with his phone in his hand, Kraig’s concern quickly turned to frustration as he repeatedly dialed Wynn’s number. Worried that something might have happened. His phone vibrated and he looked at it, he sighed when he saw Carolene as the caller. He grabbed the phone and then stared at it for a moment before he answered. “Hello?” He answered. “Mr Deville?” A husky unfamiliar voice asked. Kraig listened carefully as he wondered who was the person. “Yes, that’s me.” “We have a Miss Carolene here in our hospital and you are listed as her emergency contact,? “Hospital? Which one?” Kraig asked urgently. The caller provided him with the necessary information and Kraig forget the deep urge to panic. Without thinking, he rushed out of the shop and headed to the hospital to be with Carolene. Arriving at the hospital, anxiety etched across his face, Kraig inquired frantically about Carolyn at the front desk and the nurse directed him to the doctor, who wore a somber expressio

The class was scheduled to hold in the morning and come to an end in the early afternoon. With that information on his mind, banging against his reality repeatedly, Kraig made his way to the said class. With what had been going on in his life, it was enough to make him a zombie as he sauntered to the building where the class would be held. This was one of the classes he shared with Wynn and the thought of seeing her was the only motivation he needed. In this gray desolate land, she was the sunflower sitting peacefully. Kraig smiled. He walked into the class, he was almost late, in the sense that the room was already packed with students, what was left was for the professor to come in. In the crowd, he spotted Wynn, headphones on and her eyes pinned on a book she was reading. He approached. Kraig announced himself by waving a hand over her eyes. He succeeded in getting her attention and by seeing him, she smiled. "You're late". She removed her headphones. Kraig sat down on

Kraig's heart skipped a beat as he read the text message. He was not scared of him because he had no reason to be, he was just simply uncomfortable with Juan learning of that particular information. This was because he knew that Juan would want to, in any way possible, use the information for his own benefits. He wanted to understand that it wasn't Juan's fault for ending up in such a position. It had been Wesley who had guided him into this messy state he found himself. And so, Juan's situation was more or less understood. However, it was Juan that called this misfortune upon himself. If only he had given Kraig the opportunity to tell him that he had been there for the meeting. If only Juan had not been such a cruel person who for no reason hated Kraig, then maybe they wouldn't have been in this situation. There was no way to go around this, whether he liked it or not, he had no other choice but to actually meet Juan and then he could hear what Juan wanted from him. After the

Jade could hardly believe that this was real. She was getting married to the heir of the DeVille empire. To the people that knew her, she was a cause for envy. She had her parents' wealth and now she was going to get her man's wealth. It was as if life couldn't get better for her. Everytime she peeked from the book she was reading to stare at the man sitting in front of her, she felt jittery in her stomach. They called it butterflies but this wasn't butter. No, they were dollar bills flying around her stomach. She had known happiness so many times in her life but thinking back, surely nothing can top this. The man sitting down reading a magazine under the shade in the back garden of her house, was a dream come true for her. "I think you should organize a family meeting,'' Jade suggested, "so the relationship between our families can be better". If Jade's eyes weren't shrouded in the pursuit for wealth then she would've been able to see the slight change in Wesley's expressio
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 54
The following morning, jade woke up with a frown on her face. This was because she had checked her phone but there wasn't a single text message from Wesley. Her thoughts were running wild and there were so many scenarios playing in her head. And the most vivid one was Wesley running for the hills. She had been told by many of her exes that she was too intense, too into things. Sbe badly dismissed those words and thought they were being too melodramatic. However, seeing that there had been no news from Wesley, and that she was the only one putting in efforts in the relationship, she feared that he was going to say the same thing about her or even worse, he wasn't going to say anything but just simply abandoned her to remain in the relationship. Jade feared for the worst that she couldn't sleep a wink the night before. She decided to send another text message to inform him that she would be at the DeVille company headquarters in a few hours. She waited for a reply but none came. Sh

Without wasting time, Kraig took Carolene away leaving jade standing there. He drove straight to the bank where he had to take the money from and then went back home. It was all over the news that Wesley had been kidnapped and so when Kraig showed up at the bank, he was attended to in a heartbeat except he was informed that the money would need a few hours to be prepared. Kraig thought back to what the kidnapper had said, the next day would be the last. He had been thinking of coming back to the bank the next day but as he recalled, he figured that there wouldn't be enough time and so he waited. The bank finally gave him.the amount he requested when the sun was ready to set. He called the number again: "I have the money, where should I meet you?" He asked. THe call dropped immediately which got him very confused but in less than a minute, his phone vibrated with an address. The person who had kidnapped him was making such demands knowing that if he gave them more than a dayz

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
