Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 84|Return of the Traitor
[Camari]I didn't expect Otis to tell them to resign on the spot. I thought he would be forgiving and give them one last chance. Thankfully, he saw their guilt the same way I did. Their accusations against Father were fatal.I shuddered. I couldn't imagine looking up to Father more than my parents. We were close, but that didn't mean we had a romantic relationship. Although we weren't related by blood, we treated each other with familial affection.The mystery of Farrell and Bella's malicious accusations against me was finally answered. They thought I knew Father. Although I knew about his friendship with Granddad and the problems between them, I had no interest in the Haworth estate.I didn't know what to believe from the news in the media. So, I decided to ask Father everything at the right time. Our closest visit was a dinner invitation. However, we wouldn't talk alone."Really?" I said when Otis asked me to take Jasmine to eat together."Please reserve a place for the three of us,"

Niccolo asked Father to breathe regularly, and he complied. Once he was better, I gave him a glass of water. Father took a sip and then handed the glass back to me. Niccolo helped him by lightly massaging his forehead.I turned to Farrell, who had caused this to happen. What a stupid man! Couldn't he just shut his mouth and obey everything his grandpa says!? What was the harm in answering him nicely? Father's blood pressure wouldn't have risen if he had obeyed him."Thank you, Niccolo. I'm fine. Sit down, Camari." He smiled at me.I complied by sitting back at Otis's side. I could feel Eleanor, Farrell, and Bella staring at me intently. Seriously. They weren't trying to help but were angry at me for helping Father."Don't worry. I'll teach my son and daughter-in-law well,” Eleanor said. “Farrell will respect Camari and Otis, while Bella will talk to Thompson's publicist to help maintain Camari's reputation.”Father nodded. He turned to Dad. "You'll be returning on my plane. So, you don

Eleanor didn't know her son's weakness. Blue was just a lure and my guess was right. I got his attention. I was even happier tonight because my second prediction proved correct. Farrell was still the man I knew.He was possessive of his woman. I didn't see any signs of that towards Bella. However, he showed it during our time together. He got angry if a lot of men stared at me without blinking and he would pull me away if many men engaged me in conversation.Farrell approaching me when I was alone was a sign that he was affected by Eleanor's pictures of me with Brad and Russell. He was even jealous of my line the night before about Otis and I sleeping together.Unfortunately, he didn't admit anything before walking away from me and Nicole. But seeing his face turn bright red, I had my answer. My heart was beating with joy. Farrell loved me.“Thank God it's Friday!!!” Jasmine exclaimed. We had lunch together in my office. “Payday is indeed a beautiful day.” She stared at her phone scree

[Otis]That was close. Bruce took the files of the company's priority clients, not my primary target clients. All my plans would fall apart if that data fell into Farrell's hands. I handed the case of Bruce and the clueless security guard to Isaac.I tried to forget about the many mysteries we were investigating whenever I was with Camari. I didn't want her to worry. Her problems with Farrell and Bella were enough to keep her mind occupied. Moreover, the couple didn't stop looking for trouble with her.However, Bella stopped Thompson's publicist from trying to smear her name. I found no more ill comments about Camari from their fake PR agent accounts. People would stop on their own if no paid people slandered Camari.I looked over at the bed after cleaning myself in the bathroom. Camari was still asleep. I'd better not wake her up. I headed to the pool to exercise. She was still sleeping when I returned, so I showered as quietly as possible. Before leaving the room, I pecked her forehe

The servants ran from the back of the house towards the room. Those who arrived first gasped. They gave way as I approached. The butler was in the room, kneeling while calling someone. Two bodies were lying on the carpet.I approached the man near the butler. Father opened his eyes but couldn't utter a word. I fell by his side and looked at the state of his physique. My whole body was shaking violently. Oh my God. There was blood on his chest. Oh, God."Father," I sobbed. "Please hold on. Who has done this?"I didn't dare touch his body. But feeling him bring his hand to my leg, I quickly held it. Father's tears fell from his eyes. He must have been in so much pain that he couldn't speak. I wiped away his tears with my thumb.I hated this man so much but didn't want him to leave like this. Jasper was beside me. He pressed a cloth against Father's chest. I was almost sick to my stomach as the fabric turned red. Oh my God. Why did the ambulance take so long?I looked at Nick. He was lyin

A woman greeted and invited me to sit on one of the chairs at the head of the table. I declined. I had no shares or position in the company. So, I chose to stand. There were only enough seats for the invited participants.The door opened, and the people we were waiting for arrived. Farrell, Eleanor, and Dorothy entered with their arrogant faces. None of them belonged here. Eleanor was only Arnold's widow, Dorothy had no shares in the company, and Farrell was CEO because he was married to Camari, a position he no longer held since divorcing her."Good morning, ladies and gentlemen," Farrell pleasantly greeted us. "Thank you for coming, honoring my unexpected invitation. We'll—" He was surprised to see me. "What are you doing here!? Security, kick him out!"Jasper immediately stood beside me, preparing to protect me from the approaching security guards. "I'll just be a minute." I smiled at him and everyone else. I nodded towards Camari. "You guys need to know about something."After Cama

[Camari]I didn't expect to see such a painful sight. The police brought Otis in handcuffs. He had to endure the shame of the police arresting him in front of many people. My chest ached to see that man endlessly afflicted with misfortune.I saw Farrell, Eleanor, and Dorothy smiling with satisfaction. I couldn't believe that people I once considered family could act this cruelly to their family members. What had Otis done to them?Everything went smoothly. The meeting we were looking forward to had finally taken place. Everything we prepared was in the hands of our targets. However, we didn't expect them to slander Otis for trying to kill his father.I walked out of the room, chasing after Otis. I almost cried when I saw the cops dragging him away. Oh, my God. Otis' legs were shorter than theirs. Why did they have to act so mean? Even though he was accused of a serious crime, he was still a suspect, not a defendant."Camari, wait!" Dorothy called. I ignored her and continued to walk. "

“Miss Camari Gastrell,” called the nurse on duty. I stood up to answer her call. “Miss Cavanaugh is waiting for you in her office.”“Thank you,” I replied.I followed her into the office and smiled at the cozy room. I felt like I was in a living room with an ivory sofa and an oak table. The sideboard and bookcase were also made of oak.I overheard Otis and Jasper's conversation in his office that day. They reminded me of Deborah's advice. Therefore, I researched psychologists that people liked and were affordable. I was happy to find a psychologist who accepted patients with health insurance.The psychologist stood up and extended her hand to me. “Hi, Miss Gastrell.”“Camari,” I corrected as I shook her hand.“Call me Jen, then.” She smiled warmly and invited me to sit down. “Thank you for trusting me. Well, how can I help you?”"Well ...." My tongue suddenly felt numb. My head was blank, and I forgot what to say."Can I be straightforward?" Jennifer kindly offered. She glanced at the

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
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 106|A Great Loss
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.
