Chapter 23: A Strange Call

Derek stared at the test result in great shock; it felt too good to be true.

“So, Rose was really pregnant with my child before I pushed her to death?” He mumbled in disbelief and collapsed into the chair behind him.

“Not only did I try to kill my wife, but also my kids?” He reeled, feeling so stupid.

“How could I be so dumb and stupid? Why exactly did I try to end the life of an innocent woman just for my selfish reasons?” Regret surged through him, and he blamed himself further.

“I was really so stupid, and for what? To end up with a barren woman who can’t even bear children?” He hit his head suddenly, realizing his faults.

“I shouldn’t have done that to Rose. I shouldn’t have done something so terrible to her,” he stuttered, feeling great regret.

As he reeled in his dilemma, he was suddenly realized something: he still had a piece of love left for Rose.

He also discovered he wasn’t really in love with Sofia; maybe he married her only because he was at

  • BACK AS THE BILLIONAIRE NEMESIS (AN EX-WIFE REVENGE)   Who is the Kidnapper?

    Chapter 24: Who is the Kidnapper?The morning shone brightly, like never before. The crystal dim sun of the morning fell on the best school in all of NYC, “Maeyland International.” Rose’s car pulled into the school parking lot, and in no time, she walked out. She walked to the backseat and pulled it open so her kids could come out.“Quickly, grab your lunchboxes,” she told them, and they did as she said before hopping down from the car. Rose smiled at them before going back to the driver’s seat, where she picked up some important documents and her phone. Picking up the necessities, she locked the car and led the children into the school.“We need to get things settled,” she muttered and led them further into the school. She directed the kids to the principal’s office, where the truth should be revealed. Getting to the principal’s office, she rang the doorbell, and immediately, the principal’s voice called from within.“Come in!” The principal said, her voice sweet and welcoming.

    Chapter 25: Am I your play toy?Mr. Reynolds could be seen at the entrance of Oscorp Fortune Hall with a sweet smile plastered on his face. He seemed angry as he stood there. Every now and then, he would pace to and fro and beat his leg angrily against the floor.“What wrong have I done to have a grandson like him?” he cursed, his eyes dancing around his bodyguard as if waiting for a response. The man, who was in his late thirties, could just stare at his boss with nothing to say. “How can Derek embezzle such an amount of money? Does he want to run the company down? I have spent my whole life building this company,” Mr. Reynolds complained bitterly, his eyes still filled with fury. “I am definitely going to dismiss him from the company today. It’s not like he has improved the company in any way; he can’t even provide me with grandkids,” Mr. Reynolds hissed angrily. “Such an incompetent jerk,” he cursed on, his words laced with disdain. As he stood there lamenting about his grands

    Chapter 26: What if I have kids? “Why don’t you ask this witch here who embezzled such an amount of money?” she suddenly heard Derek say. “What…?” She shuddered from her sitting place. She could hear her heartbeat increase as both Derek’s eyes and Mr. Reynolds’ eyes stayed on her, and she knew she had to defend herself immediately.“What do you mean by that?” She shuddered out, trying to mask her fears. “Why would I do something like that? I know you don’t like me, but don’t fix your crime on me. I have nothing to do with this,” she defended herself immediately, faking anger alongside her lies.“How could you accuse her of this?” She suddenly heard Mr. Reynolds speak. Her heart flushed with delight as she heard his voice; now she was certain the blame wouldn’t be on her.“I don’t know why your grandson hates me so much as to pin this on me,” she poured, seeking Mr. Reynolds’ sympathy.“Oh no! I know you didn’t do it. You could never do such a thing. I believe you,” Mr. Reynolds assur

She ran down out of the meeting room as fast as her legs could carry her. As she ran, she reeled from shock. “Does Derek really know about the kids?” was all she could think as she ran out of the building.“Phew!” She breathed and wiped off sweat from her forehead when she finally got outside the mansion. Standing outside the mansion, she eye-scanned the whole environment in search of Derek’s car. Of course, she could never forget the white car that had run into her earlier that day.“Where the heck is this?” she paused when she finally saw Derek’s car. Without thinking twice, she rushed to the car. Derek was standing outside the car, making a call. She moved towards him with full rage and grabbed him by his tie.“Where is that incompetent driver of yours?” She let go of his tie and peeped into the car, where she saw John sitting and doi

The mother of my kids and I are not on good terms, so how do I get married to her? How do I even convince her to marry me within a month? She hates me,” Derek grunted in displeasure. This was the worst thing ever.“That’s your own problem to fix. I have nothing to do with it, so you just suit yourself and do the needful,” his grandfather replied with a smile which only

The window was wide open, allowing the natural breeze to blow her hair in different directions.“Gosh! This is heavenly,” she said, taking a long sip from her coffee. She breathed out and smiled at nature. “Aren’t you just beautiful?” She giggled and took another sip of her coffee.Her kids could be seen in the middle of the bed, operating their laptops. “Are you going to continue doing that all day?” Ken suddenly lifted his head from his laptop and questioned, and Rose turned to him and smiled.“How can I get tired of nature, Ken? I can’t have enough of it because it’s so beautiful,” Rose replied, a sweet smile still plastered on her lips.“Are you trying to say you love nature more than you love us?” Kendell suddenly pouted, her face laced with jealousy.

You have only today and tomorrow to spend with us, and now you want to go out?” Ken muttered sadly as he broke down the food in his mouth with his teeth. Rose paused her makeup application for a while after her son’s words hit her before she continued.“You know, if this wasn’t an important meeting, I would have rescheduled it,” she said after a while of remaining silent.“Mom, I understand you perfectly well,” Kendell broke into the conversation. “In as much as I don’t want you to go out, I still know it’s important to be where you are going.” She continued and turned to her baby. “Don’t be a crybaby and listen to Mom.

As usual, Michael could be seen standing inside the room, and of course, he was not alone. His boss was there also, but something was odd. The man was pacing back and forth, his face etched with worry.“I think this is the height of it,” the man suddenly said, his eyes plastered with anger. He was still moving back and forth in the tiny room. “How can Grandfather do this? How can he ask Derek to marry the mother of his kids in ord”r to claim the inheritance” He can be so annoying.”The man hissed suddenly. “I thought that as he grew older, he would stop being annoying, but he is still annoying.

    Chapter 120: A Warm Embrace Dave had a sneer-smile on his face as he watched Sofia and the policeman walk out of the station. Everything was already plotted out; he was going to escape, dead or alive. He wasn’t done with his vengeance yet, so they had no right to lock him up. He knew deep down that he must complete what he came to do before he could have the peace he needed. Everything was already plotted out, and his escape plan would kick off now.“Does those two bastards think that I will let them have a great life after everything they have done to me?” He fisted his hands and turned to Anna, who was locked in the same cell with him. Anna gave him a mocking glare before replying, “And what possible can you do in this state?” She rolled her eyes as she spoke, and Dave could feel the mockery in her tone. “Are you downgrading me right now? Do you think I can’t do it?” He glared at her, his eyes burning with rage, but Anna didn’t care about the amount of rage in his eyes; she pre

As the family knelt down, about to dive into prayers, the door to the hospital ward pulled open, revealing the doctor. They all looked at him, and the look on his face was enough to inform them that he had news.“Doctor, any news?” Rose stood up for the first and rushed to him, along with the rest of the family. As their eyes stayed on the doctor’s downcast eyes, they knew something was wrong.“What is it, Doctor? Can you just say what you came in here to tell us?” Rose interrupted again, and the doctor stared blankly at her for a while. He took his eyes off her, took a deep breath, and prepared to deliver the news. They all watched as he cleared his throat, as if his words were obstructed, before he dropped the bombshell: “We couldn’t find any matching kidney. I am sorry,” he announced.Rose grabbed his shirt. “What did you just say?” she stuttered,

I hope he’s not going to die?” Kendell wept, everything was too much for her tiny brain to handle.“What needs to be done, Doctor?” Rose stood up from her seat in a flash. “What needs to be done to save my son?” She moved to the doctor faster than anyone could say “no” and grabbed him by the collar. The astonished man managed to pull her hands off his collar, and when he successfully did, after much trial, he took in a deep breath.“What the hell can be done? Please,” Rose fell to the f

He’s moving,” the nurse yelled, and he rushed into the ward, shutting the door behind him before Rose could gain access. She was ready to follow him into the ward.“What is really happening?” she mumbled in fear, pacing back and forth in front of her son’s ward. As she paced, something remained in her mind: “Was the doctor trying to tell them they lost their son earlier on?" she reasoned, and as she did, her heartbeat increased; everything was playing too fast.“Please, I think you need to calm down, Rose. I am sure everything will fall into place,” she heard behind her, and turning around, her eyes fell on Derek, whose face was also filled with worry.“I am scared, Derek;

How are they brothers? They…” Rose stuttered weakly; everything was just too much to process.“I think you have said enough,” Derek snatched the phone from Kendell, realizing all the secrets Kendell was spilling was too much for Rose to handle.“Your mom is currently at the hospital, so I do

He fell short of breath and started coughing like he was fighting for his life.“Ken!” Kendell and Derek yelled out his name. Derek held him and tried to find out what was going on.

How could he be so mean as not to include my name in his will?” He laughed again.
