Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 58|Confidential Information
There was a knock on my door, so I let her in. Camari opened the door and announced the arrival of Isaac and Carlos. I got down from my chair and approached them. Camari served refreshments before leaving.Carlos had a very bright face as he handed me a thick brown envelope. I smiled as I shook my head slowly at his behavior. I glanced at Isaac for him to give the contract to Carlos. We simultaneously opened our materials.I didn't know what it was to die of shock. I only knew dying of fear. My childhood experience made me understand that feeling. However, the information I was reading was the kind of shock that could take my life.I looked at Carlos, who was looking at me with concern. I looked back at the paper in my hand. My ten fingers felt stiff, but I held the paper well. I was relieved when Jasper took it from my hand.“Sorry, I didn't know your reaction would be like this. If I had known, I would have warned you first,” Carlos said, feeling guilty.I shook my head. “There's no

[Camari]I smiled as I saw a bouquet of yellow roses on my desk in the morning. I looked for the card and read the contents. 'Thank you for being my best friend. R.G.'I took out my phone and messaged him. 'You're welcome, best friend.'Russell came at a bad time. Had he come before I got married to Farrell, I might have gone out with him. Although I was afraid our relationship would fall apart. He had many female fans. There must be women like Bella among them.Nicole offered to take the flowers to the kitchen, but I refused. I took a vase and filled it with water. I arranged the flowers in it and placed it on my desk. Otis came in, so I gave him the card from Russell. He smiled in understanding.My work piled up from morning until after work. Each division sent more than one idea for the company's anniversary celebration. I classified every similar idea to make it easier for me to report to Otis.The employees were enthusiastic about the anniversary. I looked through the old photo fi

Otis was in his office when I came home. I didn't want to disturb him. So, I went to bed first. I was feeling so happy that I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes, it was morning and I was excited to learn new skills from Jasper.I felt like my muscles were stronger and my body more flexible, but he refused to teach me any attacking moves. Unfortunately, all my protests couldn't make him change his mind. Nicole refused to teach me because I wasn't her pupil."Last night's show must have been really exciting," Otis guessed as we finished breakfast.I smiled happily. "The auction was fun. I managed to get the thing Bella wanted. It was satisfying to make her taste defeat.""That's a beautiful necklace," he complimented."Grandpa is so kind! You wouldn't believe me if I told you the price," I squealed in delight."I know. The necklace made the headlines of several media outlets," he reported."Really?" I unlocked my phone screen and selected one of the browsers. What were they reporting? Di
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 61|Unplanned Date Night
[Otis]Work had occupied my attention the past few days because of the preparations for the company's anniversary. I appointed the public relations department to make the announcement and looked for an event organizer to set up the celebration. I waited for their reports.Each division suggested engaging activities. I chose events that involved many people and could be done outside of working hours. Camari put everything together nicely, making it easier for me to pick the great ideas.They helped take my mind off my problems with my family. I believed Jasper would unravel the mystery of the child and the culprit of the accident that killed Arnold just as he had gotten the information on Cattleya's pregnancy.“Sir.” Someone elbowed my arm. “Sir, wake up. Mrs. Haworth is here.”I blinked. Oh my. I was daydreaming. Camari looked so beautiful when she posed alone, and many reporters photographed her. Instead, I looked at her like an idiot. I hope no one notices it.I scanned my surroundin
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 62|Stop Bothering Her
Watching Camari pack her clothes, I felt sad. We had just made up and had to part again. Even if it was only a few days, it would feel like a long time. Moreover, the office was closed during the Independence Day celebrations. But I didn't want to prevent her from leaving.There were many bouquets on Camari's desk. It looked like her admirers had increased. I swallowed hard. Russell sent his last flowers on Wednesday. Camari showed me a card from him and I understood Russell only considered her a friend.However, the flowers on the table were red and white roses. One of them must be from Ronan. That man didn't give up. Jasper opened the door to my office, so I walked in and sat down in my chair. I didn't have time to think about personal matters in the office.I turned on my computer and read Jasper's report while I waited. That stupid Farrell didn't realize he'd been fooled by his girlfriend. I had warned him, but he hadn't looked up the status of Thompson's company.However, his care

[Camari]Jasper didn't need to say anything, I knew who was telling people to hurt me. Moreover, she was furious because of her defeat the night before. But I needed proof that she was involved. I didn't want to accuse someone without proof.When I got to the apartment, I cleaned myself first. I sat on the bed and read the news on my tablet while it was Otis' turn to take a shower. Hearing my phone vibrate, I pick it up from the nightstand. Reading Mom's name and seeing the news on the tablet screen, I knew why she was calling."I'm fine," I said before they could say anything.Dad and Mom exchanged glances. "Camari, who would want to hurt you? We were surprised to see her dare to do that in front of so many people," Dad remarked worriedly."The culprit has been punished and the person who ordered it will get a warning, Dad," I consoled. "Don't worry. You've seen that I'm fine.""Camari, stay out of trouble," Mom advised. "You just got divorced. You should keep a low profile so people

[Otis]Nicole didn't tell me where they were and what Camari wanted to do to Bella. She must have been busy guarding Camari. She needed to concentrate, so I was patient and didn't call her.Jasper was back in his unit. He could help me monitor their activities through the security cameras he had hacked. But his working hours were over and I didn't want to selfishly ask him to work overtime daily.How relieved I was when Camari returned and she was fine. After cleaning up, she suggested eating while watching television. I didn't object to her idea. It seemed like she needed a new atmosphere.Camari suddenly coughed, and I helped rub her back. She pointed at her glass, so I gave it to her. Her eyes didn't leave the television screen, and she smiled at Bella."You've gone mad," I said after hearing the reporters' report.A few minutes ago, the police stopped Bella's car and questioned the driver. The man was driving under the influence, so they took him and Bella followed in a taxi.It lo

After dinner, I excused myself first. People were busy with their colleagues, I had to leave before the guests crowded out. Carlos also stood up. I smiled at him. It was reassuring to have someone I knew walking with me.Carlos chose to exit through the side door, not the front door like the other guests. It was comforting to see only us and our bodyguards passing through the corridor. The other guests were far ahead of us."That child was hidden from the public for a dozen years. Only people with great influence can do that. You know Dante Russo isn't just anybody. Your brother-in-law controls many politicians in the government," Carlos explained."Therefore, you must not underestimate Dorothy. Your relationship is not good. She won't hesitate to hurt you, Otis." Carlos looked at me with concern. "I still need you. Don't die."I chuckled. "I know Dorothy. Don't worry.""Your family is unique." Carlos raised his eyebrows.We parted ways in the parking lot. I was glad I'd gotten through

[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.

Precious Fund Corporation and Haworth Incorporation were merging. Precious Fund remained, while Haworth Incorporation ceased to exist.

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.

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

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

[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.
