The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 61
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
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 62
Derek's face metamorphosed from a pleased look to one of anger and confusion while he stared at Wynn. "What sort of a question is that?" He inquired, "it was obviously you who told him everything, so why are you asking me?" Wynn shook her head, she knew well that she had not said a word of his cheating to Kraig. She was sure that those words never left her mouth. Not because she loved Derek so much that she would protect him. But for Kraig never to find out that after helping her against the older man, she was marrying Derek despite his cheating. "I never told him anything…" "Liar!" Derek accused, "you were the one who told him so that he would come here and embarrass me". Wynn instinctively looked around. All eyes were on them. The attention wasn't what she liked, especially when they were talking about their relationship. When she was dealing with the toxic side of Derek, a side that other people should not be seeing. "Are you happy?" He asked after noticing the same things th

Jade opens the door of their hotel room. The room was exactly how it was photographed on the website. She was actually expecting to find some shortcomings but she found none. A big presidential room, it was magnificent but nothing too grandiose. It had brown coloured drapes, a large window where the sunlight poured beautifully picturesque into the room meeting the long sofa that was placed right beside the window. The TV in front was large and behind I like a small space had art displays. The coffee table had several magazines scattered on them and also a bottle of wine and two glasses. It smelled like lavender. Jade was no doubt quite content with what she received and from the look on his face whilst staring at the large window, it seems like her husband himself was happy. Her heart skipped a beat inside of her, it was mostly from joy, she was excited that she made the perfect decision to get married to him. Wesley turned around and met the eyes of his wife. The corner of his
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 64
After hearing of such a confession, Kraig didn't know how to feel. He looked at the helpless man who was already on his feet, heaving, with blood flowing unsightly from his nose and his lips. He was so angry, so frustrated that he really wanted to continue to beat the hell out him. But he knew that there be any chance that he would continue, the man before him was surely going to give up the ghost and so he tried to keep his rage at bay, only sending a last punch and then exiting the house. Kraig had no idea what to make of the situation he had found out about. Here he had thought that Wynn had no idea of Derek's ways but she was aware of them. It meant this wasn't surely the first time that he had done such a thing to her. He was extremely pissed at her, but at a glance, he pitied her. She had experienced betrayal, shame, disgrace from this man, why then did she not just end it with him? What was she after? Was it that the love she had for him was towering that she could turn

Wynn shivered, her heart was sinking because the emotion she was feeling had been provoked by her best friend. She couldn't reciprocate his feelings and turning him down just seemed like the right thing to do. Despite knowing this, her conscience was tugged. She didn't know how to utter the words of rejection to her friend. He was throwing her into a spot that none of them would profit from and probably he was oblivious to that fact or maybe he was just hopeful. Wynn had no clue. However, her heart was resilient, despite just feeling a crashing guilt, she still closed her eyes and utter the words clear enough that he would hear them. "I don't feel the same way for you, Kraig" she said, "I'm not in love with you. I only see you as my friend, there's nothing more than that". She watched how Kraig's face fell, how he suddenly changed from hopeful to broken in a matter of seconds. The light in his eyes dulled and his whole person seemed to shrink. This was what he knew. He had al

The sun was already high up in the sky when Wesley woke up. He had had a somewhat perfect night with his wife. So perfect that he wanted the day to never come. Unfortunately, things didn't work that way and so, he was bad at dealing with the way things actually worked. He turned over in bed, expecting to see the woman who had made his night memorable but what he felt beside him was an empty space. He lifted his head and looked around; the bed was empty except for the boxes that were opened down. Jade was not in her bed because she was busy packing their clothes, placing them in the bags. A smile came to Wesley's face on seeing her and his worried heart finally stilled. He didn't want to rise up from the bed but from the looks of it, he had to. Jade was already packing up to leave which meant that their stay had come to an end. So he rose up from the bed, as he passed by her to the bathroom, he planted a kiss on her temple, whispering in her ear, "Good morning baby". Jade said n

Kraig stayed seated as he just watched. He wasn't even so naive that he removed his eyes from her. On the contrary, he kept it locked in on hers, watching every small flicker, any change whatsoever and all he could see was childishness, stupidity and foolishness. He saw jade as someone who had nothing important to do and that was why she was taunting him. He also knew that the only reason she married Wesley was because of wealth but nor matter how many times he and many others had tried to warn her against him, she turned a deaf ear. He was ready to see how she reacts when she learns the truth. She had brought herself here now because surely Wesley wouldn't be such an idiot as to bring her here himself. Coming here today was all on her. Wesley joined the scene, "what's going on here?" "Kraig doesn't want to do what I ask of him. What sort of a servant behaves this rudely?" Wesley was exasperated, "what is your problem, jade? If he doesn't want to get it, there are many other ser
The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 68
Jade shook her head. Her brain refuses to grasp an understanding of the words of her husband. She thought given the place he was currently, he may decide to be down to earth. But what was the use of that? "Don't be so modest, my dear, it helps no one" she said. Wesley wondered if she had gotten her brain traded for a designer bag. He had communicated so clearly that he wasn't a part of the family still she was refusing to believe him, to understand his words. He wondered what was going on through her head that she was so hell bent on even translating his very clear English words to be something else. He gripped the bridge of his nose and sighed in frustration. "I know you don't want to appear like you're bigger than these people, you don't want to look like you're better than them, but Wesley, pretending doesn't fit you, modesty isn't your strongest suit so just drop it". "Why are you refusing to understand my words, jade?" Wesley asked, "I said I am not a DeVille, I'm not the he

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
