Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 52: Crumble
(Kendall's POV)I had never felt this kind of electrifying passion in a long time.For the first time, I didn't try to struggle or wiggle myself out of his grip because even my body yearned for his touch. The smell of his sweat mixed with the fragrance of his spray drew me close to him.This time around I kissed him back and allowed his hands to explore all around my body. The feel of his hands fondling my breast made me let out a soft moan.Lost in the euphoria of passion, Stephen flung me on the bed and I wanted him to do more to me, just before moving his hands rapidly as he tried to unfasten my bra.Although I wanted him as much as he wanted me, something in me held me back and I jolted my body away from him.Was I still feeling unsafe? Was I still anxious? No, I could not make the same mistake again.Still attempting to find his way to my body, I pleaded again. Adhering to my plea, Stephen pulled off me as he tried to catch his breath, and I got out of his bed.Remembering that St

(Stephen's POV)Impatiently, I paced to and fro in the hallway of St. James Hospital as I waited for the doctor who was examining Kendall to come out with feedback.Just then, I saw Antonio, who I had called earlier, walked in from the entrance."What's wrong with Ken?" he asked as he approached me."I don't know!" I blasted. I was angry at myself that I could not protect her. I was angry that she felt so much pain and I was unable to do anything about it but wait to do his thing before she could be fine.Seeing my rough mood, Antonio walked past me and sat with the girls."Mummy is fine, okay? She just fell the way Flora did and see! Flora is okay," I heard Antonio comforting the kids.After relaxing my back against the wall a bit, I became impatient again and started to pace to and fro."Why is this taking too long? What is happening?" These were the questions I asked myself as I paced.As my movement became unbearable for them to watch, Antonio, who was seated with the girls, stoo

(Kendall's POV)I opened my eyes to an entirely different environment, and as I twirled my eyeballs around the room, I tried to observe my environment. Where were the girls? Where was Stephen? Where were the prawns I was eating?I tried lifting my head, but my back kept falling back to the comfy bed, and my head kept thudding with a slight piercing pain. Finally, I noticed I was in the hospital when the man with the stethoscope hanging on his neck came in."Good evening Mrs. De La Cruz," he greeted as he held out his file and his pen, ready to take notes."Evening doctor. Where is my family?" I asked worriedly, struggling to get off the bed."Hey! Take it easy ma'am, your family is fine and is waiting outside for you," he gushed out as he held me back. "In fact, it was your husband who brought you here," he added.I smirked a bit when I heard him call Stephen my husband. Well, he would own that title soon. Just like a gust of wind, I recalled quickly that we were having snacks at the

(Stephen's POV)Rage flooded my entire body as I read the letter written by Jessica which said, "You are going down no matter what you do, Stephen."How could this bitch be this audacious after all she did? How did she even step into this building without being seen? What kind of incompetent people did my father employ in this company?Instantly with range, I picked up my phone and dialed the chief security officer. "Get to my office now!" I commanded as I banged my fist hard on the table."You!" I yelled, pointing to the secretary who stood by my door shivering like she just poured a bucket of ice."Si...Sir," she replied as she came forward."Where were you when this mess happened?" I bellowed, pointing to the torn and rumbled papers that lay littered across my office floor."Si… sir I have no idea how she got in. I was in the conference room, sir," she fidgeted, her hands quivering with fear as if she was trapped in an ice bath."Where is the damn security I called?" I growled as I

(Kendall's POV)Although Stephen could be cranky sometimes, I had never seen him that furious since I had moved into his house."What's happening?" I inquired Mr. Raymond, who I ran into immediately, I left my office."I can not say. I was returning from the second floor when I heard Mr. De La Cruz shouting at the top of his voice across the hallway," he explained as he smashed his face with the brown envelope he was holding in his hands."Oh! I see. Let me go see for myself what the issue is," I replied as I moved as fast as I could to Stephen's office.I gasped and placed my hands to cover my mouth when I came to the scene of the whole chaos. Stephen's office was literally upside down. Torn and ruffled papers, which were going to be important documents, lay littered everywhere.I walked quietly to the other end of the wall where I sighted some group of employees standing in clusters. "What's happening? Who did this?" I asked all at once, trying to get detailed information."We do no

(Stephen's POV)"Where am I? Where is the way out?" I rhetorically asked myself as I staggered out of the room the bartender took me to.My head banged in a way it had not in a long time. Gosh! I took way too much. I held my head with my two hands to hinder them from falling off as I moved my intoxicated self down the stairs I saw at the end of the bar.As I finally got outside, I discovered it was the same building that housed the bar and I saw my car still parked in the parking space. It happened to be that they had some rooms upstairs for sluts and whoever they brought home.My eyes got weaker and my skull thudded with pain with each step I took to my car. I managed to put the keys into its keyhole with my staggering hands with the last energy I had, as the last thing I recalled before going blank again was sitting in the driver's seat and trying to turn the ignition."Sir, are you okay?" the voice that accompanied the heavy knock on my car window called out.Jerking off like someo

(Jessica's POV)I dropped my room keys to the table as I returned to my house and slouched myself into the sofa before letting out a burst of hysterical laughter, ruffling my hair slightly with my hands.I was enjoying the game. "You have not seen anything yet, Stephen," I squealed, pointing at a small pocket picture we had together, which I still had in my possession.Still laughing, I lifted myself and strolled towards the refrigerator. I opened it and picked up a glass jug filled with freshly squeezed juice I had prepared before leaving the house.I took a glass cup that lay on the table and poured the orange juice inside it, filling it to the brim. Instantly, still holding the glass jug in my left hand, I gulped the whole content in the cup. I quickly refilled the cup before putting back the glass jug into the refrigerator.I walked dramatically back to the sofa like a child who was excited as she showed her new dress to her friends. I turned and picked up the pictures I had taken

(Kendall's POV)I could barely sleep, not because I was anxious or scared, but because the adrenaline released in my body due to the excitement I felt made me sleepless.I woke up to the beautiful view of the rising sun beneath the cotton curtain that hung on the window pane. Stephen was up already, I guess he was taking his usual early morning routine.I tossed the blanket off my body after I stretched my slender arms wide apart from each other, taking a deep breath as I stretched.Slowly, I lifted my body and strolled to the window. Drawing the curtains wide apart from each other, I allowed the sun's warm rays to flood the room.I stood by the window, gazing and enjoying the rhythmic dance of the flowers as the soft morning breeze twirled around it. I inhaled and exhaled deeply as I took in the early morning scent which was tranquil and filled with possibilities.The last few months have been tough. Stephen did not know how well to handle the anger that aroused in his body due to Je

Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 133: Our Happy Ending
(Stephen's POV) - A YEAR AFTERMy wife and I stood side by side in front of the full-length mirror, a flurry of excitement in the air. Tonight was a momentous occasion; the event we had been planning and looking forward to for weeks. The merging of our companies was a significant step forward, and this party was our chance to celebrate with colleagues, friends, and loved ones. I adjusted my tie, glancing at my reflection, my heart racing with anticipation and nerves. "How do I look?" I asked, half-jokingly.Kendall turned to me, a playful smile on her lips. "You clean up pretty well, I must admit."Chuckling, I gave her a mock bow. "And you, my dear, look stunning." And she did — her red silk gown cascading elegantly to the floor, a perfect match for the occasion.She blushed and turned back to the mirror, fussing with her hair. "I hope I'm not overdressed. Isn't this jewelry a little too much?"I stepped closer and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and a soft kiss on her neck
Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 132: Unexpected
(Stephen's POV)A few months after our wedding took place, my wife rested her head on my thighs as I caressed her protruded belly while watching our favorite family show.The doctor said her due date was just two days from now according to the gynecologist, and I was doing my best to ensure she witnessed no pain.The show's opening scenes played out, and the triplets wriggled and giggled between us, seemingly just as eager to enjoy the film.Suddenly, a hushed gasp escaped Kendall's lips, her hand instinctively reaching for her belly. I felt her tense against me, and then it happened, a rush of warm liquid and soft pop. Panic surged through me as her water broke right there on the couch."Ken, are you okay?" I asked, trying to hide my alarm.She managed a weak smile, her breathing becoming uneven as her contractions started. "I think... think it's time."My heart raced as I scrambled to my feet. Gab sprang up immediately too.My eyes darted between my wife and the kids, who were now
Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 131: Confession II
(Kendall's POV)My eyes sprung open, welcomed by the warm greetings of my little darlings as I exited the dreamland.Each of them held a unique bouquet and my all-time favorite chocolate bars, their faces beaming with smiles, reflecting the love and excitement that filled the air.I rubbed off my eyes and sat upright. "Good morning, my babies. How was your night's rest?""It was nice," they chorused.What's the occasion, little angels?" I asked after seeing the boxes of pizzas and strawberries beside me too. "Are these all for mummy?""Yes, mummy, look! I picked these sunflowers for you because they're as bright and beautiful as you!" Laura replied, her voice clear and smart as always."And I brought these roses for you too, Mummy. I want you to always be happy." Claura gently added."And what do we have here?" I asked, my gaze turned to Flora."Wildflowers, Mom," she responded, smiling as she stretched it towards me. "We picked them from the garden."Taking the flowers from each of t
Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 130: Hidden Confessions
(Kendall's POV)I returned to our master bedroom after checking up on the girls, my body heavy with the weight of the pregnancy and I felt relieved that Gab was already taking care of their baths.Since we came back to Mexico, putting things in order has been my hobby and a way of releasing the stress that comes with additional lives in the belly. Moreover, this was like an exercise.After the room felt just right, I decided it was time for a bit of relaxation and the idea of a warm bath was too tempting to resist, given the ache in my back and the swelling of my feet.Slowly, I undressed and stepped into the soothing embrace of the bathwater. The gentle lap of water against the sides of the tub created a calming rhythm, and soon I stepped out of the bathtub, feeling rejuvenated.Wrapping myself in a soft towel, I moved back to the room and began applying fragrant body cream to my skin. Just as I was lost in the soothing sensation, the door creaked open. I turned, surprised to see St
Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 129: What Next?
(Stephen's POV)After Kendall finished hurling the words she couldn't say when she caught them together, we left and prepared ourselves back to Mexico.A few weeks after we flew back to Mexico, I stepped into the gym, and the soft glow of the overhead lights illuminated the sleek exercise equipment that lined the room. The rubber mat beneath my feet was cool to the touch as I climbed the treadmill. With a flick of a switch, the machine hummed to life and I adjusted the settings.As I started jogging, the steady rhythm of my footsteps matched the beat of my heart. The view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows revealed my tranquil garden, still shrouded in the morning mist.The gentle whirring of the elliptical machine in the corner called out to me. Transitioning smoothly, I moved to the machine, gripping the handles as I began to pedal. The low hum of the machine and the focused burn in my muscles created a serene sense of accomplishment.Sweat began to form on my brow as the minute
Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 128: Strength
Kendall's POVI woke up to the sound of a familiar voice, a voice that had become a comforting presence in my life."Arise and shine, Mrs. De La Cruz."As I blinked my eyes open, I saw Stephen humming one of my favorite songs delightfully, a song he knew I loved as he placed a tray of food on the stool close to the bed. Awwwn!."Behold the queen of the empire. Mrs. De La Cruz is awake," he uttered dramatically.I watched as he approached, his eyes never leaving mine, his love and care palpable in every step he took.The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow on his tousled hair and the gentle smile on his lips. The aroma of freshly cooked breakfast wafted through the air, making my stomach growl in anticipation.With a gentle chuckle, he leaned over me, planting kisses all over my face as his fingers brushed against mine in a tender caress."What do we have here? You cooked?" I asked, surprised, butterflies dancing in my heart as I chuckled shyly."Just for t
Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 127: It's Possible
(Kendall's POV)It's been over two weeks since I had been in the hospital and we're ready to leave as Gab folded my things into a packing bag. Staring out of the glass window, my heart leaped with joy that the gloomy days were over. The thought that I had forgotten who my triplets, Gab and even Stephen were caused a crack in my happy heart.I wondered why I'd be waking up uttering Fred's name. I hoped Stephen wasn't sad about it at present because I'd have flared up if he had to be in my shoes and he began to clamor Jessica's name.Also hearing the information about Antonio, I was devastated. Stephen held him in high esteem and I felt very annoyed knowing that he had ulterior motives for all he did. Very sad."Forget the past, Kendall, it's a new start now. Life has given you another chance. Don't contaminate it with the past." I cautioned myself as I rubbed my baby bump that was beginning to shoot out."Oh! You're set," the doctor voiced immediately as she entered the room, almost s
Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 126: Bitter Truth
(Stephen's POV)What! I glared intensely with my mouth slightly opened as the prosecutor revealed that Antonio was in communication with Frederick and Antonio.Why didn't Jeff mention when he called me about the kids earlier?As I sat down, I wanted to yell out to the world, my heart sinking in betrayal. I suspired and managed to comport myself so as not to disturb the stillness of the courtroom."Why did you not tell me about the third party?" I growled at the prosecutor's attorney, who was smiling in victory at the way he handled the case immediately after the court session was over."I am sorry, Mr. De La Cruz. I found out, just a few minutes into the court session.""You still should have…"Just then, I was interrupted by the dinging notifications of my phone buzzing and it was from Jeff.My heart skipped a beat as I read the message. "Found him. Arrested. At the NYPD's 23rd Precinct. I will give you details when I see you."Adrenaline surged through my veins as I walked hurriedly
Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride Chapter 125: Verdict
(Frederick's POV)I sat behind the well of the courtroom, hovering my eyes around as I floated in the turmoil of sad emotions with the depths of guilt and regret pressed down on me.All evidence was clearly against me, although there were no witnesses in the murder case. My notebook, the fingerprints, everything pointed to me.While I sank in my misery with sadness written all over my face, a few inches beside me, Anna also sat in the dock, her face void of any remorse. She looked ready for anything that came up as her arms crossed against each other.On the other end of the docks was a lady named Jessica and two young ladies I leaned were her spies both at Stephen's workplace and home. They had been orchestrating some evil plans toward Stephen and Kendall.I switched my eyes back to the jury. Their eyes bore into me, a mix of curiosity, judgment, and perhaps even a hint of pity. The courtroom felt suffocating as if the air itself was tainted by the terrible deeds I had committed."OR
