The Divorced Billionaire 18 In the office
It was a few months after Kate had sold her company and given a quarter of the money to her mother and a quarter to her lazy younger brother.The money she had in her account before selling the company and the one she had after selling the company was almost finished. She tried to start a new business that her money can contain, but she couldn't as she keeps getting discouraged because it would be tough to start a new business with a small amount. There's no one to help her at the moment. Her first business boomed up within three years because Aidan was secretly helping her. However, Kate thought of selling her car and Felix's car to get enough money to still start up a new business even though the idea came late, but she couldn't.It was as if it was planned by a closed enemy. During the week she was planning on selling the two cars even though Felix wasn't happy with it, the cars got stolen on the same day.Kate's hope was lost after the cars were stolen. That was the only thing sh
The Divorced Billionaire 19 I'm here to seek employment
“Madam, you can go in now. He said you should come to his office,” Lily announced to Kate.“Thank you,” Kate appreciated before picking up her CV and gesturing towards the elevator.She pressed the number five on the elevator keys. Kate got into the elevator and the door got closed. Within minutes, the elevator started moving.After a few minutes of riding, she arrived at the fifth floor where Aidan's office was located.Stepping out of the elevator, she majestically walked to the CEO's office.Kate took in a deep breath and sighed heavily as she stood before Aidan's office. She firmly held her CV files tightly with her left hand and fearfully pressed the alarm button and it rang inside.“You can come in, please.” Aidan's voice echoed from inside, which made Kate tremble.Kate stayed back for a few seconds to calm herself down before entering the office. When she regained her strength, she finally held the doorknob and slowly twisted it until it opened.Immediately Kate stepped into th
The Divorced Billionaire 20 Hatred
Kate averted her gaze to Sharon who was glaring at her with complete hatred written all over Sharon's face.Kate grinned before giving a deadly glare to Aidan who had been quiet for a while. Seeing that Aidan isn't saying anything, Kate stood up to leave the office. Aidan was the one to give that order but he didn't. Sharon went ahead and chased her out of the office, yet Aidan didn't say a word as though Sharon was speaking his mind.Immediately Kate was about to hold the doorknob and open it, she finally stopped in her tracks after hearing Aidan's voice.“Stop!” That was what he said.Sharon got furious after Aidan stopped Kate from moving out. “Huh? What are you trying to do, Aidan? Do you have any job for her?” Sharon was startled by this.“Yes, I do have a job for her,” he announced and Sharon's eyes widened in perplexity.“Come and have your seat, please,” he said to Kate and she happily walked up to her previous seat and sat down.“You see,” Aidan started.“ You are lucky to co
The Divorced Billionaire 21 Hard task
Kate lightly knocked at the manager's office and waited for a response. She was so excited to secure this job.What if she didn't come on time? Or maybe pride would have taken over her and decided not to come seeking employment. She might regret it in the future.However, she never expected everything to happen the way it happened earlier, although Sharon wanted to be a barrier but she didn't succeed.“Who is at the door, please?” Mr. Donald's voice echoed from the office.“It's Miss Kate, sir,” Kate responded with a happy tone.“Miss Kate?” he muttered after her words.“ What has she come here to do again? Wasn't she chased away by the young master?” Mr. Donald questioned himself.“Please come in,” he permitted and Kate opened the door and went in with continued smiles.“Hey, Miss Kate, nice to see you again,” said Mr. Donald as he stood up and extended a handshake to her.“Thank you,” she muttered and took his hand in exchange.“Please have a seat.”They sat down facing each other. Im
The Divorced Billionaire 22 First day at work
Kate broke the news to her Mom and she was so excited about it. Mrs. Emily knew Aidan would forgive her daughter after a short period and it happened that way.Although it appears to be a shameful thing that she was once a CEO and is now an employee in Aidan's company. Isn't that enough to hide her face from the world? But no, she wasn't going to let shame take control over her.Now that she has gotten the job, she needs to start a new plan on how to save a lot of money and start a new business hereafter. ~~~Now, it was a brand new day and the first day to resume her new work.Kate's annoying alarm clock rang beside her bed and she jerked up and furiously slammed the buzzer. She couldn't sleep throughout the previous night because of happiness, wondering how her first day in her new job would be.Unfortunately, when it was almost morning, sleep came and snatched her away, and now the alarm was informing her that it was time to prepare for the office.It's so annoying!Kate hissed a
The Divorced Billionaire 23 Can he get his eyes off her?
“Good morning, Aidan… I'm sorry I mean, boss,” Kate stammered as she bowed to greet Aidan.Aidan didn't bother to react because he knew that she was yet to adjust to her new job and accept him as her boss and not her husband.“Good morning, Miss Kate, and how was your night?” he responded with a soft tone as though he was talking to a little child.Kate swallowed hard and nodded.“ I-It was great, sir.” his gaze was still fixed on the ground as she spoke to him.“Good,” he muttered and walked to his seat, and sat down without saying more words to her.Immediately he sat down, Aidan pressed a button from his office table and the table that looked empty earlier was suddenly occupied by office files and a laptop.Kate saw that and she was amazed. How did that come about?Almost everything in Aidan's office was customized and specially made for his personal use only.Only he knows how to operate everything in his office. Although he taught Anna, his former secretary, how to operate some, no
The Divorced Billionaire 24 At the conference room
Kate slowly turned around and faced Aidan as she nervously played with her finger, feeling unsettled.“Y-yes sir,” she said calmly.“Please, expect me any moment from now because I need to introduce you to every other worker. They need to know you and your position in this company,” he explained and she nodded.“Okay, sir.”“You can go now,” he ordered and smiled faintly before leaving the office with her bag hanging in her hand.Sighed… Kate was finally relieved that she had left the office at last. Only God knows how eager she was to leave that suffocating office.Yes, it was suffocating not because there was no air conditioner, but because she was unsettled.Thankfully, her office was on the same floor as Aidan's office. It took her only a few steps to get to her office.She took out the office key that was given to her by Mr. Donald the previous day. Kate opened the door and went into the office.Immediately she stepped into the office, she was shocked by what her eyes saw. How ca
The Divorced Billionaire 25 Stay away!
“I greet you all, my employees,” Aidan's words woke up Kate from her deep thoughts.“ You are all welcome to another meeting of the Fredericks' interior design company. As we all know, this will be the first meeting of me being present after three years,” he said, moving his gaze from one person to another.“I must apologize for being away for a couple of years now, due to reasons best known to me.” As soon as he said that, the thought of her marriage with Aidan flashed through Kate's mind, but she wasn't going to let that distract her from listening to what he had to say.“ I appreciate you all for your hard work despite my absence. Because of you, we are where we are today. I urge you all to continue with this hard work for the growth of yourselves, the company, and the country at large. However, I'm sorry to announce to you that the company secretary, Anna, has been sacked from the company." He announced and they began to murmur.Aidan nodded his head and bit his upper lip,“ Yes, sh

186 THE END!
Antonio died miserably without being touched by anyone. Perhaps he thought he was going to live on earth forever. That's why he did evil things without thinking twice. He killed Felix, who was once a gang member. Mike and Henry were arrested together with some of Gregory's guards. Unfortunately, two people remained whom the police were still searching for. Mr. Smith and Gregory. Shockingly, when Gregory escaped from Mr. Smith's mansion, he blocked Antonio's number in case the police caught Antonio and tried to reach him through Antonio's phone, they wouldn't be able to do that. Whereas, Gregory and Mr. Smith arranged between themselves to meet in a certain location where Mr. Smith's private jet was always parked. They entered the private jet, intending to fly away from their country to a faraway land where no one would be able to predict where they were. They knew that what they did was unlawful, and they wouldn't want to stay and face the consequences of their evil deed

185 Judgement Day
“No…” Kate screamed at the top of her voice as she took her hand off the young man who was holding her and ran to her younger brother.“ Felix…!”Sharon froze with her eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't tell if she should run or pray for the earth to open and swallow her up.On the other hand, fear gripped Antonio, who was still pointing the gun toward Felix. Suddenly, the gun fell off his hand to the ground.“Sir, let's escape. The police are approaching this room." One of the guards who was holding Sharon announced and quickly freed her.With haste, they ran out of the room, following different angles in the house until they found a way out.Unfortunately, the other guards had already taken Gregory away from the mansion to a safer place.There was a tunnel for escape that led to the outside of the mansion. That was the escape road that Gregory's guards took him to and escaped with him from the police.The underground police officers heard the gunshot and ran towards the room the

It was evening and the royal family were at the dining table eating dinner together. Gabriella was with them, but she was unsettled. It was as if she were forced to eat dinner with them.Her gaze was buried in the food, refusing to lift her gaze, so she wouldn't have eye contact with Alpha king. She never wanted to do that, but her guilty conscience wasn't allowing her to free herself.Nonetheless, she assured herself that none of them was aware that she was the cause of the alpha king's sickness. Although she never planned to have dinner with them, she wanted to request Alpha Ryder.

Now, after they were done eating the dinner together, Gabriella announce

183 Open The Underground House!
The police handcuffed four of Antonio's boys. Although there were six, two of the young men Antonio sent were shot dead by Aidan's bodyguards before the police could even arrive.Aidan didn't go with them as he was scared that if he left, another attack might occur again.The young men were taken to Mike's mansion. Upon arriving there, they called for the gatekeepers' attention.“This is Inspector Lincoln, an inspector from one of the police stations. These young men were caught in someone's house as they went there to attack his family. After they were caught and asked a few questions, they said their boss who sent them for this mission is residing here. So, we are here to see your boss. Please inform him that the police are here to see him. He should kindly step out, so we could discuss peacefully and know whether these young men are telling the truth or not.”Inspector Lincoln spoke to the gatekeepers with a calm voice, as though he didn't go there to confront a criminal.“Sir,” one

With haste, Aidan dialed Inspector Lincoln's contact. As expected, he picked up almost immediately.As soon as Inspector Lincoln picked up, Aidan didn't exchange greetings with the inspector; rather, he went ahead and told Inspector Lincoln about what was happening in his house.Immediately after he passed the information, he terminated the call as his heart was pounding heavily inside his chest as if it were going to pluck out of its place.“What's wrong, sir?” Charlotte fearfully asked, even when she heard what Aidan told the police during the phone call.Aidan didn't answer Charlotte; rather, he grabbed her hand and attempted to drag her out of the house to his place because he knew that for Charlotte, staying home alone was dangerous as Antonio's boys were out there to hunt them all.“Follow me,” Aidan said.Charlotte nodded and followed him. Just as they stepped outside the house, he saw the young man who was trying to escape, dead already.“Hey, shouldn't you have spared his life

181 Help!
Now, Aidan and Wayne have been trying to reach out to Felix and Mike, but they couldn't. They were lost about what was happening.That alone was enough to tell them something was wrong somewhere. They had feelings that Mike was hiding something from them.“Undoubtedly, my mind is telling me that Mike is working for Antonio and Gregory. If not that, then how come we didn't hear from them after he called Felix to meet with him at a certain address?” Wayne asked suspiciously.“I'm certain that he is hiding something crucial away from us, but what could that be? However, if he turns against us, I don't think he will also betray Felix, his best friend, or what do you think?” Aidan said.“This is more serious than I thought. We have been deceived,” said Wayne with a sad expression.They stood there wondering what to do as they knew that all of them were greatly in danger. One could see how worried they were as they stood by the front of a hotel looking around if they would catch a glimpse of

180 I Will Kill Everyone
“That's never an excuse, Mike. Must you kill someone before you can be wealthy, huh? Do I look like a kid to you that you can easily toil with?” Felix yelled at Mike at the top of his voice.“Don't blame me, Felix.” Mike snapped.“ Do you know what I was going through? Besides, I never knew that it was your Mom. I just found out that it's your Mom who we poisoned when you told me about hunting Antonio for poisoning your mom.” “So, what are you saying, young man? Must you know that it was Felix's Mom before you refused to obey your boss? It's a crucial offense to claim someone's life. You don't have the power to give life. So, why do you take away life?” Sharon squawks at him.“I guess it's time for me to interrupt you all because your conversation is beginning to disturb my eardrums,” said Antonio with his hands akimbo.“Do not dare to be a good man here when you are the devil himself. I should have known that this is who you are from the very beginning. I'm so disappointed in you, Ant

179 Trusting You Was A Mistake
An hour later, Felix woke up in a strange place, feeling dizzy as if he were beaten up by some gangsters.“Ahh…!” Felix shrieked sorrowfully as he blinked his eyes repeatedly, trying to figure out where he was.“Felix, are you okay?” A low tone of voice echoed in his ears, calling for his attention. He lazily raised his head and looked at the two ladies who were tied beside him.Upon setting eyes on Kate and Sharon, Felix was shocked to see them; he never knew it was a trap that was set against him.He stared at them for a few minutes, wondering if truly he was looking at his sister and Sharon.“H-how? And why?” Felix stammered. “What happened? How did I get here? If I could recall, I planned to meet with Mike, so how did I end up here?” He asked more questions.“See, Felix, your friends betrayed us. I wonder where you picked them from because they are not people. We should have trusted. They brought us here and kept us hostage. Unfortunately, they are working for Antonio.” Kate annou

Felix, Wayne, and Aidan met at the place where they had the previous meeting as a team.Immediately after Aidan had given the guns to Felix, Felix informed Mike.Mike sent a different address from the place he was presently in. However, Mike didn't fail to inform Wayne and Aidan.“The two remaining guys shouldn't follow you, please. I believe that Antonio will see us from afar if we are approaching the location he promised to send soon. I tell you, these two guys have numerous unknown agents that are working for them. They are almost everywhere in the city. “So, you can imagine where he would bewhile watching his boys bring you to him. However, you guys should be alert because we might call for help anytime soon after Felix has successfully met with Antonio and Gregory.“The last thing is, please don't involve the police in this. If you do so, then it would be hard for us to achieve our goal.” Mike advised.“Yeah, we know what to do. There's no need for you to remind us, man…” Wayne
