Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 15|A Night Out
Luckily, we chose a spot in the corner of the bar. We could see the whole club, but they couldn't see us from where they sat. I came here to enjoy the night with my new best friend, not to make a scene.Wait a minute. Why should I feel this way? I had the right to be wherever I wanted without feeling intimidated by their presence. After all, they and I had nothing to do with each other anymore. We were strangers."This is the first time you've asked me to come to a place like this." Jasmine meaningfully looked at me. "Usually, you only want to have dinner at restaurants or cafes.""We couldn't drink on weekdays. We could get fired if we get the books wrong the next day." I defended myself."Right. And on the weekends, you're always out of town visiting your parents or dating Farrell," she teased again.I chuckled at the memory. "I'm their only child. So, I've felt obligated to take care of them for as long as they've been around."That habit stopped when I married Farrell. I deeply reg
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 16|Care About You
[Otis]Many things happened in the past that I didn't want to recall. That woman was one of them. The person who I thought was my life, soul, and everything wasn't sincere in her love for me.She knew I wouldn't believe her just like that. Yet she was so persistent in approaching me. She didn't give up until I fell in love and accepted her to be my lover. I was on cloud nine when I discovered she was only playing with me.She betraying me with the person closest to me wasn't her biggest mistake. Her thinking I deserved to be toyed with was a crime I couldn't forgive. I was a human with a heart who could be devastated when all his dreams and hopes were shattered.Dorothy knew how humiliated I felt by that woman's actions. How dare she open up old wounds I didn't even remember anymore. I should have refused her invitation. She would never be kind to me.I wouldn't come if Dorothy asked to see me again. That was the last straw. I had heard enough of her insults. Mother was the best person
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 17|Brave Decision
The man who escorted us let us in. He opened the door wider so Jasper and I could enter the luxurious office. Jasper entered first, looked at the situation inside, and then nodded to me."Thank you." I walked past him."Good morning, Mr. Haworth," Harold greeted as he extended his hand to Jasper."Good morning, Mr. Bloom," I replied, not offended by the misunderstanding."Oh. I'm sorry." The man shook my hand. "Your face looks familiar. Do we know each other?" He scrutinized my face intently."We don't. It's our first meeting," I admitted."All right, then." He let go of my hand and then gestured towards the couches. "Please have a seat. How can I help you?" he asked kindly.Someone entered, so I waited before answering. A man served hot drinks and snacks on the table. I didn't recognize his face, but I guessed he was the assistant. Jasper and I thanked him."Before I tell you what I'm here for, there's something you need to see." I glanced at Jasper.He placed a tablet on the table. H
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 18|Your Money, Your Rules
Carlos Gomez was one of my colleagues who had recently not paid his loan installments on time. He applied for a new loan after paying off his first debt. However, I refused. Unfortunately, Bruce did something different behind my back.He recklessly agreed to the loan without my permission. Since I used three layers of security at the bank, he couldn't withdraw funds without my fingerprints and a verbal statement. He thought being the owner of the company was enough of a guarantee to withdraw money. I wasn't that stupid.He should have given the funds to Carlos last night. That was why he contacted me relentlessly. If he didn't have bodyguards, I was sure Carlos's men would have battered his body."Why did you promise him new funds? Didn't I tell you not to?" I asked, wanting to know his reason for disobeying my orders."He borrowed a huge amount of money. The profit is huge. That's why I agreed to it, sir," he muttered."He never paid the installments on time. Since he asked for specia
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 19|Annoying Incident
[Camari]Jasmine and I exchanged glances. The car didn't exceed the speed limit. My best friend obeyed the traffic lights as we passed through the intersection. Were any of the car's lights not working? However, Jasmine made sure she checked all the lights this morning."In that case, we don't need to panic," I suggested. "It's probably just a periodic check.""I hope it's just a misunderstanding," she whispered.Jasmine pulled the car over. The policeman stopped behind us. I held my best friend’s hand, which was near the gearshift. She turned her head and smiled at me. The window on her side was tapped, so Jasmine opened it."Good evening, Miss," the policeman kindly greeted. "Please show me your license.""First, may I know the problem, sir?" Jasmine asked."Show me your papers. Only then I can tell you what the problem is," the man insisted. Strange. That wasn't the procedure.Jasmine glanced at me, but she didn't say anything. Obeying the policeman's words, she took out her purse a
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 20|Work for Me
I closed the apartment door and placed my bag on the kitchen counter. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, but it couldn't calm my anger. Damn it! What a jerk! What an ignorant woman! I wanted to punch someone right now.Seeing the refrigerator, I went over and got a bottle of water. I gulped it down until I felt calmer. I sat on the couch and leaned on its head. That couldn't be allowed anymore. I had to do something to stop her from doing whatever she wanted to me.That ignorant man who hit my car window a few days ago was her messenger? I remember we just talked at a café not far from our workplace. I'd been daydreaming at the red light, so I was a bit late driving my car when the green light turned on.So, she taught me a lesson right then and there? What did she want? I got beat up by a guy who was bigger and taller than me? What a crazy woman! Just because she came from a rich and more influential family, she took it out on me!“Okay. She started it.” I put the empty water
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 21|No Longer Family
I sat down and smiled at Grandpa who patted my hand. He must have thought I was nervous about being in this place. He wasn't wrong. I was nervous because I had just passed through danger. I didn't know why those people had asked me to pull over.However, what hurt the most was that the people who were supposed to protect me didn't do anything when the bad guy intended to hurt me. Jasper and Otis, whom I had just met, were the ones protecting me from those bad guys.I watched Grandpa's face carefully. He didn't look upset. Had my bodyguards not reported anything to him? Grandpa didn't know of my dismissal. Did he also not know of my imminent danger? Then, what was the job of those two people kept following me?"What are you doing?" Farrell asked. He looked so handsome in his black suit and neatly styled hair. "Why are Mother and I sitting apart from you?""I invited Camari. Since you don't want to be at the same table with her, you'd better be at another one," Grandpa replied casually.
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 22|Hidden Truth
[Otis]Since my company's problems were over, I could sleep soundly. Focusing on work kept Cattleya out of my thoughts. Also, I could swim as usual that morning. We met up with Camari at the pool, then I took her to breakfast in my unit.I memorized the words I would say to her to get her to become my assistant. I didn't want to seem desperate. Therefore, I asked her something else before getting to the main topic. I wanted her to accept the job offer.Unexpectedly, Camari was very surprised by my job offer. I thought she would cheer up and accept it gladly. However, she asked for time to think. I needed an answer from her immediately, though. I didn't want to hire Bruce any longer."With the salary you're offering, Miss Gastrell shouldn't refuse. Are you sure she can be your shadow? Miss Gastrell hasn't had any experience as a leader," Jasper said, giving his opinion."She was a supervisor for two years. That's enough to give her an idea of leading people. The difference is that she l

Jasper moved quickly. He picked me up and ran to the car. Otis broke protocol by getting into the same car as me, but I needed him. So, I let him sit beside me.The medical team welcomed us to the hospital. My obstetrician greeted me and checked my condition. My feelings were uncertain when he said the opening wasn't quite there yet. We needed to wait until the time came.Our family arrived, helping me get ready. Otis stayed in the room with me. Whenever I needed him, I turned to him, and he would come closer. Hours passed, but the torment wasn't over yet.I grew more and more frightened as the pain became unbearable. Seeing Otis' pale face, I smiled at him. It must have been hard for him to see me in this state. It made me realize one important thing. There would be no other man like him in this world."Otis," I whispered. He came closer. "I don't know what would happen in the labor room. But I want you to know... I love you. I love you so much."Otis was stunned. His eyes then filled
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 113|Ceasing Conflicts
[Camari]Otis was busy with the two companies he was responsible for. I thought everything was fine. He solved all of Haworth Incorporation's financial problems and replaced some old directors with his confidants.However, I had no idea why he bought shares from certain people in the company. I wasn't with him all the time since my pregnancy made it difficult for me to move around freely. So, he had lunch or dinner with his colleagues without me.He even bought shares in his company from people demanding that he step down from his seat. I wasn't the finance director, so I didn't know the company's financial position. But seeing Jasmine's calm demeanor, I concluded that everything was still under control.Therefore, I was surprised by today's announcement. Precious Fund Corporation and Haworth Incorporation were merging. Precious Fund remained, while Haworth Incorporation ceased to exist. What did Father think of this?The man I was thinking about came in with a cheerful face, making m
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 112|Executing My Vengeance
Bella had just given birth. Following Father's instructions, we checked the baby and Farrell for a DNA match. The lab technician called to tell us the results were up for collection. Dorothy flew straight from her town to take care of it with me.Camari was twenty-eight weeks pregnant. I didn't want anything to happen to her if she met Bella in prison. She should be in a high-security place. The office had bodyguards and building security. I could rest easy if she were there."Otis!" Dorothy called.I waved the envelope of test results at her. "The results are here.""Come on, open it quickly," she said impatiently.I opened the envelope and took out the paper inside. I sighed when I saw the results. The question that had been bothering us was answered. For safety reasons, Dorothy and I headed to the prison in our respective cars.Ever since Bella attacked my car, I hadn't been in the same car with my family. Camari and I also didn't share a car when we went anywhere. She still drove
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 111|Sacred Vow
Our parents excused themselves from the living room. They ran away and didn't help me to explain the sentence to Camari. I swallowed and saw them smiling meaningfully. Didn't they know I was terrified?After the door closed and it was just the two of us, Camari cleared her throat. "Otis?"I swallowed hard. "Don't worry about the money. I have a personal stash that I've set aside for my wedding. So, I'm not taking the company's operating money."She smiled. "Are you afraid I'll laugh at your feelings?" she cooed. Camari squeezed my hand. "Thank you for loving me, but I can't say the same." She bowed her head."Camari, I—" I muttered, feeling bad."Please don't get me wrong," she cut in. "Give me time. Our marriage was unplanned. The baby came unexpectedly, followed by the blessing and the reception... I didn't have time to digest all the significant events I experienced in quick succession."You are a kind and gentle man. I'll have no trouble loving you. Therefore, I need time. I won't

[Otis]I stared at the loser man without blinking. He just lowered his head, not daring to return my gaze. He didn't touch the envelope I placed in front of him. He must have understood the purpose of my visit. And I needed an explanation."Silence won't make me forgive what you and your team did," I stated. "This is the first and last warning. If you dare forge people's signatures again, I'll shut down your law firm. You know I'm capable of that.""Mr. Haworth." He finally opened his mouth. "Neither I nor my team forged anyone's signature. If the client didn't sign, then Farrell did.""The client didn't show up for her divorce papers, and you were not her attorney. Was that Farrell's fault, too?" I asked. "My nephew died doesn't mean you can put all the blame on him. I'm not that stupid."I took the envelope back. "This is my proof of how negligent your law firm is. If you did it again, I wouldn't think twice about destroying you.""Mr. Haworth." The man stood up and followed me.Jas
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 109|His Sacrifice
Otis and I went to separate places after work. He met Carlos to discuss business while I saw my psychologist. I cried my heart out in that room, telling Jennifer everything I'd been through over the past week.I felt so relieved after pouring out my feelings. Jennifer didn't suggest anything. She congratulated me on successfully ending my hatred for the two people who had done me harm.Otis was still talking to Carlos, so I went home with my bodyguard. Looking at the numbers on the elevator, I thought of someone. I pressed the number to my old apartment and smiled. She must be in her apartment.Sure enough. Deborah greeted me with a smile and the delicious cooking aroma inside her unit. She offered me her appetizing lasagna. We enjoyed it while chatting in the dining room."I'm sorry about what happened to your family," she said with concern.I liked the word she chose, family. She didn't mention Farrell as my ex-husband. "Thank you. What an unexpected turn of events. He was young.""
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 108|Letting Go
[Camari]As the weekend passed, we went about our usual activities. Otis and I started the day with exercise. He swam while I practiced martial arts with Jasper. Things had been better since Nicole woke up, and Bella was in custody.I found it hard to concentrate since I was out of danger. I didn't know what was wrong with me. The day went by so fast, but it also felt so slow. I wasn't excited about the day either, even though I forced myself to smile so no one would suspect anything.Otis and Jasper entered the office, so I sat in my chair. My new bodyguard stood guard not far from me. I kept my distance from her to avoid getting emotionally involved. The incidents that happened to Nicole had left me devastated, and I didn't want to go through it again.I didn't know why people closest to me kept getting hurt. I just wanted it to be over. Farrell was gone. Eleanor and Bella were behind bars. Hopefully, no more disasters would befall me or my family."Good morning, ma'am," a security
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 107|First Advice
[Otis]I had never felt so desperate as when I watched my wife being taken away before my eyes. I made the mistake of taking off my seat belt to kiss her cheek. As a result, my body was thrown and fell on the floor after the car hit something.Then, help came. People rescued us, and only then did I find out that our car tires were shot. Therefore, Jasper had difficulty controlling the car. He chose to crash into a shop rather than another vehicle. Fortunately, it saved our lives.We weren't hurt, but it was different with Nicole. They shot her arm, and she fell off her motorcycle. The doctor had to perform surgery as soon as possible to remove the bullet and fix the position of her broken arm and leg."Farrell and Bella have to die," Jasper whispered. He stared at the operating room door with red eyes. "Brad is tracking down Mrs. Haworth. Sorry, I can't concentrate—""Nicole is your girlfriend." I patted the back of his hand. "I understand."It took Brad hours to figure out Camari's w

After that deafening explosion, the room turned so quiet that my ears were ringing. I felt nothing in my body. Did the bullet lodged in the body numb the wound?I opened my eyes and saw that my lap was clean. There was no blood. Strange. No part of my body felt aches or pains. Did the shooter miss or misfire? I took a deep breath. No part of my body hurt, and I was still alive!"Noooo!!!" Bella shouted, startling me.My heart was beating fast. I turned and saw her running towards me. Oh, God. Did she want to kill me with her hands? I struggled, trying to break free from the bonds on my hands and feet, but it was in vain.Bella didn't approach me but knelt and held something under me. I turned and was surprised to see someone lying on the floor. Bella turned his body so that I could see his face. No way.That selfish man who only loved himself couldn't be lying there. He wouldn't sacrifice himself to save anyone, especially me. Farrell hated me. He only loved Bella. It was impossible.
