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

The instructor was gripping Carolene's waist too tightly. The groom was expected to be outraged but he wasn't, he was staring at the scene with his head far away from what was happening. He did see what was going on, but he was too deep into his own problems to care and moreover, Carolene didn't really seem to mind the needless touches. She actually seemed to be enjoying the attention. Because why else would the instructor have his hand around her waist as he led her to practice her bridal walk? And there were also the smiles she was throwing at him which vaguely reminded him of the night he had gotten her pregnant. He wondered if her smile had been anything like the one she had on. The instructor was intrigued, probably because he could hold another man's wife in the indecent way he wanted. Yes, his hand was inching towards her butt. Kraig finally couldn't stand it anymore, he loudly cleared his throat. "Do you have to hold her while she walks? I'm not getting married to a cripp

Derek was mad that his hook up had been ruined. The knock on the door had stopped him from pouncing on the young girl he had met a few days ago. When he opened the door and saw Kraig standing there, the first thing that came to his awareness was the deep hatred he has for him. There was also the question of whether Kraig was working part time here arose in his head. And he also wondered if Kraig had seen him with other women as he surely did today. Kraig was furious, his fists were tightened as he glared at the man before him. He had seen in his eyes that he had been surprised to see him and equally worried as well and it wasn't hard to guess what worried him. However, that shock, that worry alk dissolved and a smirk arose on his face. "Why do you care about shit that has nothing to do with you?" Derek asked as he leaned against the door frame. Kraig furrowed his eyebrows confused, but like he thought Derek was not worth his time, he turned away to start leaving. Derek held him

Jade and Wesley were busy sorting out the wedding invitations. They were multitasking as they both had slices of pizza on their mouths as they ate as well. They were both seated on the floor close to the table in the living room. They were the only ones who were left downstairs as the others had already made their way to their beds. They had been at this chore for hours before Wesley couldn't take it anymore, he leaned and rested his back against a couch that was behind him. "Tired?" Jade asked as she chuckled. "Burnt out" he said, "this is so much work". Jade chuckles, "and to think it's such a simple wedding". Wesley nodded his head as he laughed a bit. He rested whilst jade continued with what they were doing. The silence was all that flowed between them but it had been so for a while. Weskey decided to break the silence; "when will you take over the company?" Jade smiled wondering if this was what she had to deal with due to her choice of getting married to an heir, a ma
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 59
It was morning, the sun had risen only less than two hours ago. Weskey, who had slept in the car, drove the vehicle to the DeVille's mansion. He contemplated alighting the vehicle knowing damn well that the people in the house did not like him, but he had to try his luck. He came down from the car and walked into the mansion. He met his uncle, Kraig and Carolene all having breakfast together and as they all saw him, their faces turned ugly, just like the gray walls of the dining room. Weskey hated the color gray and the absurd flowers that were placed against the gray walls. He wondered if the interior designer had thought it was good to put such absurdity there. "What are you doing here, Wesley?" Mr DeVille rose to his feet in rage. Kraig instantly followed but his stance did not take the position of anger, instead he placed his hand around his grandfather's body to make sure the man doesnt over exert himself. But Mr DeVille was too angry to even start thinking about his heal

Jade frowned, "is this you trying to beg me to leave Wesley for you? No matter what you do, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him". "Wesley is not who you think he is" Kraig said, "jade, listen to me, you will regret getting married to him". Jade shook her head, she believed Kraig's words were coming from a place of jealousy and envy, from a heart that yearns for her. She believed these were the actions of a man who was hopelessly in love with her. And to tell the truth, she was disgusted by it. She hated the idea of catching the eyes of a poor driver. She hated that he saw her and had the disgusting idea that they could be together and have lots of fun which will obviously include sex. She looked at the man before him, though he was definitely not ugly, it still evoked some kind of disgust in her knowing that he was broke. Everything about Kraig was disgusting. "You're just so fucking jealous. I'm gonna get married to Wesley and our companies will merge and everything

Wynn stares at him with her big eyes, wide as the galaxy of infinite stars. Her heart was beating violently against her chest for so many reasons. Her resolve flushing away with the arrival of confusion as she stared into the eyes of the man before her, the man she recognized as her best friend. She was extremely dumbstruck as she kept staring at Kraig. The man who just confessed to harbor feelings that weren't so platonic for her. Her breath was caught in her chest, her hands still on his own chest and with such contact, she could feel how erratically his heart was beating. Exposing the fact that he had summoned courage from the heavens and beyond to make a confession like that. "Kraig," she called his name softly, almost like a prayer, because there was nothing more she could do but pray that this was somewhat of a figment of her imagination because, how the hell did he expect her to react? "I don't know what to say, '' she muttered but with their proximity, he could hear her cl

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
