BACK AS THE BILLIONAIRE NEMESIS (AN EX-WIFE REVENGE) An Underlying Secret
Chapter 96: An Underlying Secret The family sat around the dining table, feasting on their mashed potatoes with gravy. Ken and Kendell munched on their food as if they were having a fight with it, while Rose and Derek ate silently. Rose would glare at Derek at any opportunity that presented itself, and Derek would look away immediately. It seemed he was trying to get on Rose’s good side, because if it was turned around, he would glare and curse at her also.“Mom, this has got to be the most delicious meal I have eaten in a long while,” Kendell said, taking another spoonful of food and forcing a smile, her mouth so full of food she could hardly smile. “I really need your recipe, Mom. When I grow up and get married, I want to prepare sumptuous meals for my family too.” She added, taking another spoonful of food after finishing the one in her mouth.“Yes, Mom, Kendell is right,” Ken said mockingly. “She needs to learn how to cook, because the only thing she knows how to do for now is

Chapter 97: The Price for Betrayal“Dad, we need ice cream. Let’s go get ice cream from the ice cream stand,” Kendell pulled Derek’s hands, and Derek smiled. He turned to her and bent to her level. “But we are not done playing this game, honey. Your brother is still trying to win a toy.” Derek turned to Ken. “Oh, yes, Dad, you are right,” Kendell smiled. “By the way, Dad, this park is really big and filled with lots of fun activities to do.” She smiled and snuggled Derek.“Yes, honey, you know when I was a little boy, my parents always brought me to this park to play, and it’s really surprising that it remained the same till date,” Derek explained, and Kendell’s eyes widened. “Wait! So you mean when you were little, this park existed?” Kendell threw in shock, and Derek nodded. “Surprising, right?” Derek said, and Kendell nodded, her face still plastered in shock.“This park has existed for a very, very long time. According to my father, it existed even before I was born,” Derek exp

Chapter 98: Are you inlove?Rose glared at the nylon she took from Derek’s wardrobe. She was uncertain of what was in it, but this was the right time to find out. She shifted uncomfortably on her bed and took in a deep gasp before tearing the nylon open. As she anticipated what was in the nylon, her heartbeat increased.Tearing the nylon, her eyes fell on some drugs and a note. She flickered her eyes for a while as she tried to make sense of what she was seeing. “Drugs?” Derek didn’t look sick, so why was he taking so many drugs? She looked at the drugs staring right back at her.“And what is this note?” she picked up the note resting on her lap and had a quick glance at it. “Hmm!” She opened the folded paper and ran her eyes through the note written in it. “Nobody needs to know, nobody needs to know,” the short note read.“Nobody needs to know?” Rose repeated, growing confused. “What does he mean by ‘nobody needs to know’? And what doesn’t he want no one to know about?” Rose search

Chapter 99: A Threat for You“But that isn’t all, Sofia,” Rose suddenly remembered the drugs and the note.“It isn’t all? What else happened, Rose? What else did you discover?” Sofia questioned, her tone baptized with desperation.Rose, not wanting to beat around the bush, hit the nail on the head: “I found strange drugs and a note also.”“I found a bunch of drugs without names, and I also found a note that reads, ‘Nobody needs to know,’” Rose revealed, and her mouth vibrated as she did.“You found strange drugs and a note saying, ‘nobody needs to know,’ in his room?” Sofia repeated in astonishment, and Rose nodded.“Yes, girl, you are surprised, right? I am way more surprised than you are, and I am not even kidding about it,” Rose confessed.“I really wonder what such drugs are doing in this room, and the most alarming part is that the drugs had no name, and you know what it usually means for a drug to have no name,” Rose let out her confusion.“Of course, I know that better than an

Chapter 100: Stocked Rose had a worried look on her face as she dialed Sofia’s number for the second time. She paced back and forth in front of her car. “What the hell is wrong with her? We agreed to meet at the church by 12:00 p.m., so why isn’t she here and why isn’t she answering her calls?” Rose hissed, already pissed. She redialed Sofia’s number again as it finished ringing without her picking up. “Or is she in any form of…” she couldn’t finish her thought when Sofia’s voice came through from the other end. “Hello, Rose. I am so sorry I wasn’t picking your calls, but look behind you, I am here already,” Sofia said before Rose could reply. Still angry, she looked behind her and that was when she sighted Sofia walking towards her. She ended the call and focused her attention on Sofia. She watched as Sofia walked towards her with calculated steps, her frown deepening. “Why did you keep me waiting?” she threw as soon as Sofia was close enough. “I am so sorry, Rose. I got stuck

Chapter 101: No Cottage “He needs urgent help, or else he might do worse things. Living with people suffering from multiple personality disorders is really risky, as they are a threat to us,” the doctor explained, and Rose could only nod. But a question remained in her heart: “What would she do next? Taking vengeance on Derek is like taking vengeance on an innocent man.”It ”as obvious now that Derek didn’t push her into the ocean to die, but rather the multiple personality disorder were responsible. But she could only wonder, “Does it mean that all the while he changed and started treating her like a piece of trash, all the time he was mean to her, was it a result of his mental illness also?”She was trapped with no idea of where to turn to next. She couldn’t continue her vengeance, neither could she back out. What could she do next?“Ma’am, are you listening to me?” the doctor’s slight scream brought her back to reality, and she stared at him like a fool.“It seems you are lost,

Of course, I left them here. Come on, I was here last week, so there’s no way I would forget where I left them,” Sofia replied, tension already building in her.“Gosh! Then this is bad, because this only means one thing,” Rose declared, her face etched with worry.“I don’t want to believe what you are saying, Rose,” Sofia stuttered, already knowing where she was heading. “We need to confirm things, Rose,” she said, walking closer to the burnt-down cottage, and Rose joined her.It was when they went to the cottage that they notice

Chapter 103: Public Attention As Rose drove to her kids’ school to pick them up, she couldn’t stop thinking about Sofia’s words: “We need to find Michael.” Sofia’s words rang in her ears, and she took a deep breath.She went on to remember the other words Sofia said: “We are starting our search tomorrow; we would go back to Maureen and get any useful information we can get about how to find Michael.”“Yes, Sofia, you are right; we can only find out the truth when we find Michael, and we need to do that ASAP before things get funny,” she mumbled to herself as she pulled in front of her kids’ school.She drove further into the school and parked her car in the parking lot. After parking her car, she picked up her bag and phone and walked down from her car. As she walked down, she took a deep breath before walking into the school.Inside the school, she walked to her children’s class, where she met them arranging their books in their bags. “Mom!” Her kids exclaimed on sighting her and

Chapter 137: A Family Dinner 1 month later……“Come on, babe! Aren’t you done yet?” Derek stressed; he was already tired of waiting for Rose. Him and the kids had been waiting for Rose for almost 30 minutes, and she hadn’t descended the stairs yet.“Gosh, mom! We’re going to be late for the outing,” Kendell poured in frustration, and Rose replied from the room where she was still applying makeup. “I’ll be down in a jiffy; I’m just adding finishing touches to my makeup,” she screamed back.“But you said that twenty minutes ago, and you’re still repeating it,” Derek replied. “Yeah, but I’m serious this time around. I’m done,” Rose said, already cracking the door to the room open.“I told you I am done,” she said as soon as she stepped out of the room. Hearing the sound of the door opening and noticing her voice grew nearer was enough to inform them that she had finally stepped out of the room.“Gosh, mom! It took you forever to look this beautiful,” Ken gasped, taking in his mom’s beaut

Chapter 136: Too Hard to Believe Derek and Rose paced around the Dave’s restlessly; yes, they were still definitely mad at Dave for what he did, but they never wanted any harm to come to him. As they strolled around impatiently, Mr. Reynolds and Sofia could be seen walking into the hospital with worried looks on their faces. Derek had called them earlier to inform them about Dave’s condition.“How is he doing?” Mr. Reynolds asked the couple as soon as he was close enough.“The doctor isn’t out yet; we’re still waiting for him,” Rose replied, as if she had been forced to.“Ouch!” Mr. Reynolds mumbled and sat in a provided seat. “I just hope nothing happens to him,” he said with desperation in his tone.“I might be mad at him for what he did to me, but honestly, the last thing I wanted was for him to end up in that hospital; I never wanted that,” Derek said after a while of pacing around.“You don’t need to worry, son. I believe everything will be alright, so worry not and keep prayin

Chapter 135: Unexpected Turnaround Two months later………“Do we really need to go see that jerk?” Rose said with dissatisfaction as the driver drove her and Derek to the station. “Of course, babe. I’m so desperate to see him, and I just don’t know why,” Derek clarified, but Rose gave a loud hiss. “So you’re suddenly concerned about a man who nearly sent you to an early grave? Absurd!” She folded her hands under her breast and turned away. Of course, that act of hers was to be pampered by her husband.“No, babe, I’m not going there because I care for him. I’m going because I have this great urge to, and furthermore, I really need to clarify something from him,” Derek explained further. “Whatever! Do as you please. What can I even do? It’s not as if you ever listen to me.”“Oh, babe, but I always do. You know you’re my best advisor,” Derek said, tickling Rose, but she remained stern. “If you always listen to me, then why aren’t you listening now? Why are you being really naughty now?”

Chapter 134: A Special moment As Rose waited anxiously in the waiting room, she noticed Sofia and Mr. Reynolds approaching her from the corner of her eye. Immediately, she turned away, attempting to avoid a conversation with them. “Rose, how long will you continue avoiding us? You know this isn’t the right time for this, right? Even if you want to be mad at us, it shouldn’t be now, please,” Sofia said calmly, standing in front of Rose. Mr. Reynolds stood nearby, listening as Sofia spoke.Slowly, Rose lifted her head and stared at Sofia. “I’m not angry at anyone; I’m just in a lot of trouble now,” she replied calmly, turning to face them. “I’m sad that Derek had to go through all of that alone, and that I’ve been blaming him without knowing the reasons behind his actions,” she continued, her voice laced with pain. “I feel terrible for not sharing in his pain or supporting him through his difficult time. I was always quick to blame him without understanding his predicament.”Sofia sa

Chapter 133: The Hidden Truth“Sorry that I had to take that call,” the doctor said, dropping his phone on the table. Earlier on, before Mr. Reynolds could say the things he wanted to, the doctor’s phone rang, alerting him to a call he had to take. “It’s nothing,” Mr. Reynolds said with a calm smile, but beneath his smile, his tension still flickered around. “Thanks for understanding, sir. So, you can start now; I am ready to listen.” The doctor assured with a bright smile, and Mr. Reynolds nodded and shifted uncomfortably on his seat. He stretched his back and cleared his throat before saying his first words, “Well, it’s a long story.” His voice was filled with emotions as he spoke. The doctor and Sofia turned to him with keen attention. Mr. Reynolds gave a sad sigh before he continued, “A long time ago, Derek’s mom died while giving birth to him, thereby leaving him in the care of his dad.”“A year after his mom’s death, I advised his dad to get remarried, seeing how difficult

Derek had been taken to a ward, and now they were made to wait helplessly for the doctor’s arrival. A few minutes later, they saw the doctor coming from afar, and before the man could get closer to them, they rushed to him to inquire how things were going with Derek.“Doctor, how is my son doing?” Mr. Reynolds was the first to speak, and they waited impatiently for the doctor’s response. “Please, can we talk in my office?” the doctor said instead of responding, and Mr. Reynolds and Sofia gave each other a quick glance before they turned back to the doctor.“Ummmm, okay,” Mr. Reynolds responded, and they both followed the doctor to his office. They walked for a while before arriving at the doctor’s office, and upon getting there, he directed them to two seats where they sat before he occupied his. Taking his seat, he cleared his throat before turning to the adults

Slowly, her eyes moved to Rose, who stared back, blankly. “Ok,” she stuttered and returned to her seat. As she sat, she wondered what was going through Derek’s mind, what exactly he wanted to say to them.“Uhmm! Sorry for interrupting you, but I just couldn’t stop wondering, so I decided to inquire from you both.” Derek spoke, his eyes moving across the ladies. The room was silent for a while before he began again, “I wanted to know how you two know each other.” Derek asked the most confusing question.The ladies gave each other a shocking stare, unsure of what he meant by such a question. “What exactly are you trying to say? How do we know each other?” Rose was the first to speak, her face bathed in

Chapter 130: A Word The family sat on the dining table having dinner together. The dining table was filled with all kinds of assorted food. “Yum! This tastes so good,” Ken said with a mouth full of spaghetti. “I really missed having something this good,” he added. “I think this tastes better; the taste is just so nice,” Kendell chimed in, her mouth also filled with food.“Don’t forget the table manners, eat and stop talking,” Rose said calmly, her eyes dancing around the kids, who nodded calmly and kept quiet. “Please, let my grandchildren be; why are you dismissing them? They are marveling at this beauty, so let them,” Mr. Reynolds chimed in, his eyes quickly moving to Rose and then to the kids.The kids gave a bright smile and looked at their mom, who only shook her head and remained calm. “You see why Grandpa shouldn’t stay here? He would definitely spoil the kids,” Derek rolled his eyes at Mr. Reynolds. “Oh my! Oh my! You little brat,” Mr. Reynolds twisted Derek ears who sat

Chapter 129: A Child Three weeks later… The family has been discharged from the hospital, and now it’s time to return home. “It’s finally great to be able to return home,” Kendell releases a broad smile and looks up at her mom, who stood behind. “Right? I really wished to go home right away because I really don’t like the amount of people being rushed here daily. It breaks my heart,” Ken, who was standing next to her, chipped in with a sad scowl. “Honestly, it breaks my heart so badly that I wish to cry whenever I see such,” Kendell backed her brother.“Gosh! They talk like they have existed for ages,” Sofia, who stood not far from Rose, said to her in a surprised tone, and the entire room erupted in laughter. “You haven’t even seen anything; sometimes I wonder if they are really kids because they act so mature, and let’s not even talk about the way they talk,” Rose laughed.“I have already seen everything that is needed to be seen. The few days I have spent with them are enough
