After Divorce, I Married The CEO Chapter 92
CHAPTER 92"Is it something I wasn't doing right? Was it something I said? I don't think I've pissed him off in a long while, and I don't remember when we had a heated conversation. So what could the problem actually be?!" Abigail ranted, pacing up and down in Diane's living room.Diane, who was struggling so hard to focus on the TV sighed."Maybe he's just not feeling it anymore," she said with a shrug."Not feeling it? That's absurd!" Abigail rolled her eyes. "We were so close to each other even when he was married. He was so into me and that's why it's very confusing that everything has gone south and he's now obsessed with her.""Well have you tried my suggestion to get rid of his ex-wife?" Diane asked."I've thought hard about it, trust me, but it doesn't seem workable and I could be putting myself at a huge risk. She's living with her husband and she's too protected, I couldn't come up with anything helpful. Besides, Caleb would kill me if he found out I laid a hand on her.""Ca

CHAPTER 93The previous night had been blissful. And even though Jane had refused his proposal that they go out for dinner, Caleb knew that a lot of tension between them had dissolved.It was the morning of a beautiful sunny Friday, and Caleb did not want to move from his position with Jane huddled around him. It was the closest they had come in weeks and he didn't want the moment to end.He stroked her messy hair gently as he thought deeply about Stella's stay.Jane stirred and groaned, and the sound alone sent signals through his system.He watched with a smile as she slowly opened her eyes. "Awake so soon?" He asked quietly.She looked up at him through her lashes and then quickly jerked away from his body, as if it was wrong for them to stay that way. Caleb frowned at her reaction."What time is it?" She asked."A few minutes after nine o'clock. Why?""Shit!" Jane landed down on the pillow and put her arm over her eyes. "I overslept.""Yeah, you tend to do that whenever you're in

CHAPTER 94As Jane pulled her car out of the lot, Caleb followed suit but in the opposite direction, heading towards his office.He continued to stare at her car through the rear view mirror until it became a tiny dot, and then nothing.He sighed and shook his head, as if to clear some thoughts out of it, just as his phone beeped and the doctor's name flashed across the screen.> Sure. I'll there by six.He sent her a thumbs up and gazed out the window."Everything alright, sir?" The driver asked him.Alright? Caleb thought to himself. His wife was emotionally torturing him, his ex girlfriend had come to live in his house, his one night stand from three years ago had a child for him and was draining him mentally, his mother was not helping matters, he had to make decisions for the company... Of course everything was fine!"How many more minutes?" Caleb asked instead."A few," the driver replied and Caleb sighed.***Jane stood in front of the sky-high building and swallowed hard. It h

CHAPTER 95"You can go in now, ma'am," the receptionist said to Jane who smiled at her and then stared towards Marcus's office door.She remembered the last time she had shown up at his office, unannounced, and how her life had taken a rougher turn after she caught him and Abigail together in his office. She quickly brushed the thought aside and took in a deep breath as she reached his door and knocked."Come in," Marcus said and Jane did so.The office was just as she had remembered, the only difference being the desk that had been changed. But she also noticed that Marcus's tie was resting on his table and two of his buttons were undone."I almost thought you'd never agree to see me," Marcus started before she could say a word."I'm not here to see you, Marcus. Well, not in the way that you think.""Interesting," Marcus smirked and swivelled in his chair. "Then I guess you're here to explain why you haven't been replying my texts.""I blocked you, I think that explains it all. Liste

CHAPTER 96"And you think coming here all by yourself was the best decision?" Caleb asked with a loud voice as they passed the parking lot to the car waiting for them."I had it under control!" Jane replied but suddenly regretted the words once they came out.Caleb turned to face her fully."That? That was your control?" He asked, pointing back at the building. "Who knows what he could've done to you if I didn't show up! Jane, what were you even thinking?!" Jane huffed and rolled her eyes."I only wanted to warn him to stop sending me the gifts.""And you didn't think it was better to let me know so I can handle it?""I wanted to sort it out peacefully."Caleb shook his head and opened the door for her to get in. Jane noticed the driver looking at her quizzically and then sighed when Caleb came in through the other door."My car," she said to him."The driver will get it back home," Caleb replied without looking at her.They were silent for a while as the car swerved into the road."

CHAPTER 97The doctor, Addison Greene, was already seated in their plush living room when he walked in. Rose and Bianca were standing around her watching as she laid Jeffery across her lap with a thermometer beneath his armpit."Oh, Caleb! Good thing you're back!" Bianca went to meet him. "How bad is the situation?" Caleb asked flatly, ignoring her hands that were outstretched to take his suit off. That was not her role to play."Doctor Greene says it's nothing too serious, just a mild fever. Jeff baby will be fine in a day or two."Caleb started towards the doctor who smiled respectfully at him."A mild fever, huh?" He asked, looking down at Jeffery who happened to be asleep."Yes, Mr Lockwood. But I did take samples of the milk that Miss Bianca here talked about.""And?"The doctor inhaled before continuing. "The results were a little disturbing.""Disturbing? What's wrong with it?" Caleb asked, looking at all of them and frowning when they were silent for a while."Shes been waiti

CHAPTER 98The water from the shower was refreshingly warm as Jane turned it on. She sighed and raised her face to let the water trickle down her scalp before reaching out to grab the soap.She was done in a few minutes and wrapped a towel around her body but it was extremely thick and heavy so she took it off and folded it properly before putting on the clothes she had worn the previous night. She smoothened her dress the best way she could and flipped her wet hair up in a ponytail, hoping to blow-dry it when she reached home.She picked up her phone and smiled when she saw a text from Brian already waiting for her.> Happy morning, Jane. How bad is the hangover? Text me when you get this.She swiped on the message to reply but was interrupted by another buzzing and Caleb's name flashed across the screen. Her smile slowly faded.> I'm so sorry about yesterday, Jane, I shouldn't have said that to you. You're not to be blamed for what happened and I apologize for my outburst. Can we t

CHAPTER 99Jane was standing with her arms folded when Caleb walked into the bedroom."What was Bianca talking about?" She asked when she noticed his presence."Jane, I don't want you to bother about Bianca, okay? Just rest a little."Jane closed up the space between them, looking intently into his eyes. "What was she talking about, Caleb?"Knowing she wouldn't stop asking, he sighed and replied. "Well, er, the doctor came to check Jeffery as we had arranged and she also took samples of his milk since Bianca complained about it.""What does that have to do with me?" Jane asked with a frown."It has nothing to do with you, Jane, and that's why I don't want you to bother about it," Caleb stretched out his hand and held her arms. He gave her a reassuring look but Jane did not seem convinced."She said I wanted to poison Jeffery. What was that about? And what chemical is she talking about?"Caleb sighed and shook his head, mildly frustrated by her persistence."Jane we'll talk about it la

CHAPTER 174Minutes after Marcus revealed all he knew, dozens of patrol cars as well as two helicopters were despatched to the location Marcus had given.One of the helicopter pilots sighted the house from above and the officers, including Caleb quickly moved towards it.They kicked the door of the building down without hesitation and as Caleb ran in, his gaze immediately fell on Jane's weak body sprawled on the bare floor. Caleb rushed to her and wrapped his arms around her. This time, he did not hold back his tears.Her body and clothes were covered in dirt, some parts of her body was swollen and there were a few cuts in different places, but still she didn't lose her beauty.Jane muttered something with her eyes half closed.“I'm here, baby, I'm here. You're gonna be okay. It's all over, you'll be fine,” Caleb didn't mind that some droplets of his tears fell on her face, all he knew was that he had finally found her and he was never going to let go ever again.Some medical attenda

CHAPTER 173“He's a lying bastard! How can you believe all that?” Xavier asked Ross who had asked to question Xavier immediately Lorenzo told them everything.“It's not something we would want to believe as well, Mr Xavier, but he showed us the millions of dollars as proof,” there was a look of disappointment on Ross's face. “You do know that drug trafficking is a really serious offence, right?”“There is nothing to prove that I'm involved with this man!” Xavier yelled. “How do you know if someone didn't pay him to lie against me?”“He gave us a perfect description of you and said you came around every week to collect the profits that belonged to both you and coincidentallly Marcus Dreame.”“This is outrageous, Ross.”“Trust me, Mr Xavier, the whole situation has also left me totally dumfounded, but it's also helping to put the pieces together.”“What pieces are you talking about, Ross? What the hell is all this? I deserve more respect than this, don't I? How and why would I get mysel
After Divorce, I Married The CEO Chapter 172
CHAPTER 172Four days and there had been no word from either Xavier or Mann, no newspapers to tell him what was going on outside, and they were running out of food. And he still haven't received a cheque from the weekly profit as usual. Marcus was totally losing it.He paced from one end of the house to another.“That fucker!” He said through his teeth, imagining Xavier amassing all the money to himself. He reasoned that Xavier had probably withdrawn himself from situation and had left him and Jane there to die of starvation. And probably enjoying all the money and profit from their illegal business. The thought of that sickened him. Xavier had probably come to his wits end and had decided to keep his slate clean.But Marcus was not one known to easily let go.He knew he was eventually going to go down, and he would stop at nothing to bring others involved down with him.“You'll be a dead man if you step out of that door,” Jane said weakly as she watched him put on his camouflage.
After Divorce, I Married The CEO Chapter 171
CHAPTER 171Lorenzo sat at his desk, brooding.Two days had passed and neither Xavier nor his scary looking second hand man had come to collect their weekly profit.He looked down at the stack of money in the bag on his desk. If he took even a note from it, Xavier would know and would kill him without thinking twice. He was a man not to be conned and also a man to be feared. But as he constantly stared at the pile of money, he felt his walls of restraint breaking down. The sight of money always enticed him but tampering with Xavier's money was like signing his own death warrant. He quickly zipped up the bag, swallowed some sedative pills and then looked up Xavier's address on his computer. It was better to get the money to him instead than let it stay another day in his office.___Lilian was wrapping her wet hair up in a bun and preparing for lunch when she heard the knock on the front door.“Don't worry, I'll get it,” she said to the house worker who was setting the table.“Hi?” She

CHAPTER 170Lilian, who had heard from Caleb about her mother and uncle's arrest quickly returned back to the state to see them.Rose on the other hand, had just spoken to the detective and was still in a state of shock. Tears rolled down her face as she stared at the photos of her and Xavier sprawled on the table. She had initially thought that Stella was bluffing when she said she had kept some clues for her lawyer to give the police if anything happened to her.The door suddenly opened and an officer popped his head in.“Ma’am, your daughter is here to see you,” he informed.“What? My daughter?” Rose asked with surprise and began to clean her face while stacking the photos together hurriely. “Take everything with you,” she told her lawyer. “Leave immediately.”Lilian stepped in just as her lawyer walked out.They both stared at each other for a long time and Lilian's steady gaze was like hot iron searing her heart. Every second of silence that passed reminded Rose that she had now

CHAPTER 169“You're lucky my lawyer is already on his way. You'd better start preparing an explanation for why you had the guts to touch me!” Xavier ranted as the officers led them through the station.Rose on the other hand did not even try to struggle because she knew they were guilty, and her conscience kept battling with her. She did a very bad job concealing the shock expression that was spread across her face. As she watched the officers lead Xavier to one end of the hallway, her eyes landed on two familiar faces and her eyes widened with shock.Stella's parents! Stella's dad was consoling his wife who was shaking and sobbing uncontrollably.“Rose… you…” Stella's father said when their eyes met, but before she could respond, the officers led her away. She could still hear Stella's mother's voice.“I told her to stay away from their family, I warned her…”Xavier was taken to a dimly lit interrogation room, the room was hotter than usual and Xavier swiftly adjusted his tie, the
After Divorce, I Married The CEO Chapter 168
CHAPTER 168“I'm sorry… what? What's that supposed to mean?” Xavier asked with his brows furrowed in annoyance. Fear flickered in his eyes but he squared his shoulders and maintained an annoyed visage.“Mr Xavier you have a right to remain silent. Anything you say now can, shall and will be used against you in the court of law…”“You can't arrest us!” Rose said. “What the hell did we do? What's all this about? This is an insult to my person!”Caleb watched with his spoon frozen in his hand. Things were happening too fast for his brain to process and he almost thought he was hallucinating when an officer walked to his mother and ordered her to stand.“Hold up! Hold up!” Caleb finally said to the officers as he stood up.“What's all this about?”“They are being arrested as prime suspects in the murder of Miss Stella Rosman,” the officer explained. Rose and Caleb exchanged glances and while Xavier was able to maintain his composure, Rose visibly went pale.“This is crazy! I barely even k
After Divorce, I Married The CEO Chapter 167
Chapter 167It had been two days since Marcus was revealed to be the prime suspect in Jane's disappearance. And the forensic tests came out fine that Marcus was the owner of those male accessories as some combs in the bathroom had his hair samples which were tested. The police officers had combed the woods for two whole days yet there was no sign of either Marcus or Jane and there was also no clue left that could lead to them.“They couldn't have just disappeared,” Rose said one morning as they were having breakfast.Caleb had only taken a few slices of his toast and then walked to the living room with his coffee. His mother had been trying to make conversation with him for the past few hours but talking was the last thing he wanted to do. He was preparing to step out one last time with a few officers to search deeper into the woods. He turned on the television.“Have they found out if there's an insider yet?” Rose was speaking only on the topics that related to Jane because she kne

Chapter 166“I still don't understand why it's so difficult for you to put a call across to him!” Marcus shouted. “We've been waiting for hours for fucks sake!”They were now in a bigger house with lesser windows and only one sofa as furniture. Mann was staring out blankly from one of the windows.“You know, Mr Dreame, you complain too much for a man.”“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Marcus scowled and lunged towards him.“You come in at the middle of the night and sweep us all away without explanation and you want me to be quiet and act like nothing happened?”“No, I'm only asking you to be patient,” Mann replied cooly.“Don't tell me that bullshit! My patience expired hours ago. Now call up Xavier.”“Boss is the one who would make the call to us. I'm in no position to call him unless in a serious emergency…”“This is a serious emergency!”“No, it isn't, Mr Dreame. This is just you acting like a scared little girl. Even the woman's doing better than you.”They both turned t
