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. She will be back soon,” she patted her brother on the head and let out a smile.Rose watched her children, and her heart fluttered with joy. She soon snapped out of her fa

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. Just like he has been since I was little,” the man continued, grunting hard.“What about that jerk, Derek? Is he in support of his plans?” He turned to Michael, and the man nodded positively.“He is?

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!

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’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?”

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

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.

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?

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?
