The Billionaire Takeover Chapter 66
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

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

Wynn immediately shook her head, though she was broke and had no way to possibly pay back derek, she still refused to accumulate more debt nor did she want to feel kike she owed anyone anything. Not for pride but just the freedom from all these unnecessities. "You don't have to worry yourself about my issues, Juan, I'll pay for this piece of shit myself." Juan was insistent, he took Wynn's hand, "we're friends, if I can help you, why shouldn't I?" Wynn looked at him and wondered if she was seeing things wrong. They used to be friends before Kraig came into the picture but now, they weren't much and for him to show up suddenly bearing gifts and even insisting on paying for what Derek was demanding, she couldn't help but feel like he had some ulterior motive to his kindness. She had no reason whatsoever to not trust him but she just couldn't accept that his kindness came from a place of solidarity. "Just let me help you," Juan said, giving her no leeway to refuse his help. But sh

As Kraig walked out of the room, he stopped by the living room before deciding to return to his own. He held no iota of pity for the woman he just left in that room. He had warned her, he felt everything she was getting was nothing but the reward of her actions. She had been so impatient and so childish about everything that had taken place and now her reward was being married to a man who had deceived her. He had not been lying when he said if he was the one he'd have sent them out. Jade disrespected him in so many ways and he wouldn't have shown any form of mercy upon her. He thought she should be able to learn the way the world works as old as she was. He reached the living room and there he saw his grandfather still sitting there. His eyes were on the television but he showed little to no interest in what was going on. His mind was far away and he looked forlorn. Now this one was deserving of his pity. Kraig went forward and wrapped his arms around his grandfather. "You like th

Jade felt that being called downstairs for breakfast was a good thing. It had been a while and nobody mentioned anything about them leaving the house. She knew this vacation, or bliss would come to an end sooner or later but she was ready to enjoy it while it lasted. And also she sought for something. A new mission for herself. There was no way she'd allow herself leave the house. She wasn't going to allow herself to be made a fool of. Now she had turned to the clown in the mansion, the right person for comical relief because she had allowed herself to be fooled into marrying the wrong person. But now, she was not going to make the same mistake. She was not going to allow herself to be fooled for a second time. She was more than that. And so she sat on a chair, ready for her mission to begin. She waited and watched how everyone else got to their seats with a knowing smile on her face. She was dolled up nicely but not superfluously nor unnatural. Her husband had asked her what she

Wesley wasn't at all surprised that a person who was supposed to have oassed out was talking back to him. He got only a half of the cintent that the woman was a psychopath. Whether or not he was in love with Jade, whether or not he married her for money, he was still vey well aware of the things she could do and hitting someone's head on the desk waa something far beyond jade's ability. There was really only one understanding from his deduction and the fear he recognized in jade's eyes: Carolene had hurt herself. How sick was that? "There's no way Jade could've hurt you that way. You faked passing out, what's hurting yourself that you can't fake?" Carolene raised an eyebrow at him, "your accusation is quite bold," she said. "You're saying I harmed myself for what reason?" "Because you're a sick psycho and you want us out of this house!" Wesley yelled. "Were you ever in it?" She maintained her equanimity. Maybe that was what pissed Wesley off, she remained so calm that made hi

"What did you just say?" Kt was Wynn this time. The supposed Wesley stared at the three people standing there looking at him like he was a ghost. He was certain that they had taken some kind of special drug that made them lose their shit upon seeing him. He made the decision to ignore them and then drive into the mansion, but the gates were refusing to open for him. "Can any of you help me get to the gate or are you suddenly statues?" Kraig couldn't stop staring at him. From his hair to the color of his eyes to the way he talked, he was exactly like Wesley who he knew was inside the house. Kraig couldn't help but laugh. 'Would someone love be Wesley so much that they even decide to do surgery to look like his arrogant cousin? He was mesmerized. He knew that this was a different Wesley for a number of reasons and one was that Wesley, the one he was acquainted with, was unable to afford a car like that. "You cannot be Wesley," Kyle said. "Why can't I be myself?" The new Wesley

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
