CHAPTER 18

“What?...” I grimaced intensely in bewilderment, feeling blood drain from my face. “I…I didn’t stab anyone…”

“How then do you explain the fact that the forensic results show your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon?” She raised a brow, looking at me as if waiting for me to come up with a lie.

“What…what fingerprints are you talking about?” I stared at the blood-stained blade on the table in front of me before looking back at her, completely clueless.

“So you’re going to deny this one too?” She asked, her face crimson with stern rage. “You mentioned earlier you had a little misunderstanding with your husband yesterday, what caused the little misunderstanding?”

I lowered my gaze and shook my head in despair, bitter tears making its way down my cheeks. My heart was clenching painfully in my chest. I can’t do it anymore. I just can’t. It was all too much for me to bear and understand, I might just go crazy. I have been wrongfully accused of a lot of things

  • Pregnant For My Billionaire Crush   The Weight Of The Loss

    CHAPTER 19“W…what do you mean she didn’t make it?...” My voice quivered as I tried to keep it steady. My breath was heavy, coming in short quick gasps that hurt my chest. “S…she’s dead, Lily,” the doctor hesitated before breaking the news with a heavy sigh. “She couldn’t be operated on due to lack of completion of the payment. Her body has been transferred to the morgue. I’m sorry. I did my best. I really did. You need to come now to identify her body and make necessary arrangements…” The weight of his revelation bore down heavily on me like a ton of rocks, crushing me to a pulp. I didn’t know for how long I stayed mute, feeling an acute sense of loss wash over me. My mother. My sweet mother…the only family I had left was gone. I won’t get to see her again. This was all my fault. If only I had gathered the payment and made it to the hospital in time, I could have saved her. She’ll still be breathing by now. Terrible regrets assailed me as hot painful tears burned their way down m

  • Pregnant For My Billionaire Crush   Torn Apart

    Chapter 20“Don’t listen to her,” the chief detective said in a firm but reassuring tone.As such, I didn’t pay attention to her threat. She could do her worst for all I cared. I was grateful the chief detective had succeeded in kicking her out of the room and taking her off the case. Now that she was no longer here, there was no one to influence his decision and prevent him from listening to me.“Please chief, I need to get out of here. The doctor called to inform me my mother just died in the hospital. I need to go see her, identify her body and pay my last respects…she’s the only family I have left. Please don’t deny me this opportunity,” tears stung my eyes as I pleaded to him as my life depended on it. My mother’s dead image kept flashing in my mind and I struggled with everything in me to push it away.His loud sigh hinted at the impossibility of that as he came closer and sat on the chair in front of me. “Listen, Mrs. Wilson,” he said as I listened to him attentively. “The Wil

  • Pregnant For My Billionaire Crush   Signing the papers

    Chapter 21Robert brandished a sheet of paper and pen from his side as if they were a weapon. Leaning in and staring into it with my tired eyes, I could see it was our contract marriage agreement.He addressed me harshly, shoving the paper to my face. “Sign this Lily to terminate our contract marriage agreement. I don’t want anything binding me to a murderer. If you check the bottom part, you’ll see I have already signed mine. Sign yours let’s get this sham of a marriage over with.”The detective after getting hold of himself, tried to stop him, a disapproving look on his provoked face. I can’t believe Robert pushed him away like that. “Mr. Wilson, this is not the right time or place to do this. I suggest you wait and get your lawyer to handle this.”Robert washed him with a cold glare. “I’m not leaving this station until she signs this. Try to stop me and I swear I’ll make sure you lose that badge around your neck and your license forever,” he threatened ruthlessly before returning

    CHAPTER 22The pungent smell of drugs and antiseptics came wafting into my nostrils. I grimaced in irritation at the sickening smell, shaking my head to ward it off.My eyelids slowly lifted to reveal an unfamiliar environment flooded with bright, almost blinding lights. It took some time before my eyes could accommodate the light. Looking around, I could see the walls of the room were painted white too. It didn’t take me long to realize that I was in a hospital. The only sounds heard in the room were the beeping of the heart monitor and other medical machines I was one way or the other hooked to. I could hear some voices around too.Groaning, I twisted around on the bed and tried to sit up on the bed. My body felt so weak and sore like I had fallen off a cliff but somehow, miraculously managed to make it alive. But then, I couldn’t because my left wrist was cuffed to the bedframe. “Fuck…” I muttered in frustration before falling back on the bed. A wince escaped my mouth as my muscl

  • Pregnant For My Billionaire Crush   Free and Reunited

    Chapter 237years later…The prison gates creaked open and like a baby learning to walk, I stepped out carefully, embracing my long-lost freedom. I couldn’t believe that after seven years of being locked away in this shit hole and treated like an animal, I was finally a free woman. The feeling was overwhelming. As a result, I covered my mouth with both my hands, unable to contain the rush of emotions swelling inside me as tears of joy streamed down my cheeks.After the trial, I was found guilty and sentenced to seven years imprisonment. Robert and his family hired some of the best lawyers in the country to argue the case. They did their best to see that I got a death sentence. But as fate may have it, I didn’t. Due to my lack of criminal history and a strong alibi the night the murder was committed, the judge reduced my sentence to seven years imprisonment. My attorney really did her best. From the way she defended me in court as if her life depended on it, it was obvious she was pas

    Chapter 24Lila on the other hand, had my late mother’s soft peaceful hazel eyes and sun-coloured hair which seemed to glow in the light. Her hair keeps growing longer by the day which has made me give her the nickname Rapunzel – after her favourite cartoon character. She loved to play with it and would often scatter the strands all over her face after it had been freshly styled.“You know I love you very much right?” Liam said, causing me to look at him. My cheeks grew red hot with smiles as I beamed.“I know my darling,”“More than anything in this world,” he pressed on, causing me to eye him with a suspicious glance while still smiling. He wore a mischievous grin on his face as if planning something clever. He has always acted smarter than his age with a way of speaking so sweetly that could charm anyone. “More than Lila does, right?”“That’s a lie!” Lila snapped at him, fuming with rage. “You don’t love mummy more than I do. Don’t listen to him mummy,” she pulled my hand so I coul

    Chapter 25“I never said I didn’t respect your decision,” Jane said, her face twisting with worry. “It’s just that I’m going to miss you guys so much. Finally getting out of prison, I wanted us to spend some time together as best friends. I can’t remember the last time we had some girls’ time.”She looked at the kids with a wistful smile on her face as they ran around the car happily. “I have grown so attached to them I already feel like their second mother,” she held back a chuckle. “They’re good kids and they always look out for each other. It was an honour taking care of them. Christabel is going to cry her eyes out on learning they’re gone.”I folded my lips in empathy, understanding her pain and feeling bad for her. As much as I wished it could have been different and I could stay back with her, I couldn’t. Leaving this city will be the wisest and safest choice I can make for myself and my babies.“I’m sorry, Jay. I wish it would have been different. I really want to spend time w

    CHAPTER 26 About 2 years later… “Wow Mummy, you look so beautiful!” Liam complimented, his brown eyes widening with sparkle and excitement on seeing me. “Yes mummy, you are the most beautiful mummy and the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world!!” Lila added exaggeratingly in a carefree way, causing my cheeks to overheat with a blush as I walked down the stairs. Leaving my past life behind, I embraced a new look. I dyed my black hair a rich chestnut brown and reduced the length to my neck level. I dressed more sophisticated now, always in designers from hair to toe, looking like a modern-day goddess. My once parched and shrivelled skin is now glowing, smooth and creamy like silk, and my face is more beautiful than ever, with light but well-done makeup and a radiant smile that could melt hearts. People can’t believe I’m a single mother of two and not dating anyone when I tell them. Men, both rich and poor won’t stop asking me out. But after experiencing so much heartbrea

  • Pregnant For My Billionaire Crush   Revenge in the shadows

    CHAPTER 156NOAH’S POVAfter getting rid of my foster parents and taking over their business empire, I used the available resources to find my biological parents and family. For years I have been monitoring them, hovering over their lives like an eagle without them knowing, patiently planning the perfect revenge mission.I found out they were a powerful family, one of the richest in New York. It broke my heart and made me angrier to know that despite all that wealth that possessed, they still chose to abandon me, choosing my twin brother over me. I mean what does he have that I don’t? Who knew when my biological parents chose to abandon me? Perhaps it was right after I was born, the moment the umbilical cord was cut. Was my birth that insignificant? Aren’t twins supposed to be a blessing? If that’s the case, then why did they choose to abandon me?They might have probably dumped me somewhere like spoilt food before the adoption agency found me because that’s how most kids in adoptio

    CHAPTER 155NOAH’S POVI was adopted. Growing up, it bothered me so much that I was different. I shared no form of resemblance to my foster parents who hid the truth from me and never seemed to fit in. I didn’t even have a sibling. Back then, everyone had a sibling or a pet but I couldn’t because my so-called parents couldn’t make me one and I was fucking allergic to fur.My foster parents owned a lot of establishments and enterprises. They were filthy rich and even though they bought me whatever I wanted and never let me lack anything, they were never there for me, leaving me in the care of our maid who was dumb and stupid. The only thing she was good at was cooking and cleaning. I was a quiet, reserved kid who couldn’t properly express himself through words. You would have to know me well and pay close attention to understand me. Because of that, I had a hard time growing up because no one understood me, not even my own parents.I once suffered an accident that made me lose a lot

    CHAPTER 154NOAH’S POVFuck! Fuck!! Fuck!!!Anger like never before rippled through me as I pressed my foot harder on the gas pedal, gripping the wheel so tight my knuckles turned white. My car roared down the road at a reckless speed, as if I wasn’t even on a road teeming with cars.My speedometer climbed to 60, 70, 80, my engine growling like a beast hungry for destruction, but I didn’t slow down. Headlights flashed past me, horns blared, and some cars even swerved to avoid me. But I didn’t give a fuck. I was so angry I could run someone over and not even care.Good thing this wasn’t a major road and no police were around, otherwise, I would have been slapped with charges before I could even hit the brakes.This was all Lily’s fault. If only she’d made up her mind and agreed for us to leave the country when I brought the suggestion up, this wouldn’t happened. I wouldn’t have seen that neglectful tramp that called herself my biological mother.Ever since I made it clear to Lily that

    CHAPTER 153LILY’S POV~ I didn’t respond to her, acting as though she wasn’t even there. I wanted to grab my purse, my phone, my car keys, my coat, anything that’ll help me locate Robert when the door squeaked open and Noah walked in.My breath glitched and I froze as I saw him. He was holding a bouquet of fresh flowers and carrying a plastic probably filled with other goodies. I wasn’t expecting him at all. What was he doing here?However, his reaction wasn’t one I expected. He stood frozen on the spot, his face paling with shock as though he’d seen a ghost as his gaze flicked from mine to Robert’s mum and again and again. Suddenly, he dropped everything he carrying like they didn’t matter and ran out the door. ~ My brows furrowed deeply as I couldn’t understand the reason Noah reacted that way. “Noah… Noah…” Leaving everything else, I darted towards the door to chase after him, hoping to call him back.But before I could, he was already in his car. The tyres of his car screec

    CHAPTER 152 LILY’S POV ~ Pushing all that to the back of my mind, as I had something more serious to ask her, I took a deep breath and leaned slightly forward. “Earlier, you mentioned something about you and your family finding out the truth.” She nodded slightly, paying close attention to understand me better. “Please, hope you don’t mind me asking what it was you guys found out about exactly?” ~ “Robert didn’t tell you?” She asked, staring at me in surprise. “No, he didn’t,” I shook my head. I could have sworn Robert didn’t tell me anything about the truth they found out. If he did, then I won’t be asking. My brows pulled in and I further leaned slightly forward as my interest piqued. I couldn’t wait to hear what it was that made the entire Wilson feel sorry for what they did to me and for her to take a 10-hour flight just to come apologize to me. “We found out that Scarlett was behind it all,” she blurted, her jaw tightening as fury flickered in her eyes. “If

    CHAPTER 151 LILY’S POV ~ “Please…” she said with a squeaky voice, seeing how indecisive I was. “I took an eight-hour flight to this place. It wouldn’t be nice if you left a poor old lady standing out here in the sun after such a long journey. Please let me in. Just a little talk, I promise I won’t take much of your time.” I looked away defiantly and after much thought, let out a sigh like one who didn’t have a choice, opening the door wider and stepping aside for her to come in. It wouldn’t be bad to hear whatever she had to say. What’s the worst that could happen? But if things took a turn for the worse and she dared to disrespect me in any way, I wouldn’t hesitate to kick her ass out. ~ “You have such a lovely home,” she remarked casually as she walked into the house, her eyes roaming around the interiors, taking in every feature. Even though my house was neat and well-kept, I knew it lacked the elegance and luxury she was accustomed to because she had very high taste. But

    CHAPTER 150 LILY'S POV It’s been a week since that incident at the hospital, and I must say, I haven’t felt the same ever since. I should be happy Robert was finally leaving our lives for good. I wanted this. It was what was best for me and the kids. But why did I feel so empty on the inside? Why did I feel like I was making the wrong choice and I’ll come to regret it eventually? I barely have the strength and will to do anything nowadays. All I do all day is sit on the couch like a potato scrolling through my phone, drag myself to the kitchen to cook and check up on Liam. He was discharged from the hospital hours after the surgery that same day and had to be on constant monitoring during this recovery phase. Because of this, he won’t be going back to school for some time. Lila was the only one going to school now and making sure he didn't miss out on anything. I hadn’t gone to work ever since, using Liam’s condition as an excuse because I had to stay back and take care of h

    CHAPTER 149LILY’S POV~ “You don’t have to worry about them running away again because they won’t. They only gave you that ultimatum because they wanted to bring us back together.” He let out a wistful chuckle. ~“What?...” I squinted at him, baffled. “A…are you serious about this?”“Yes,” he nodded softly. “I don’t blame them for what they did. They just wanted us to stop fighting and get back together. And before you think that I made them do it, I didn’t.” I knew he wasn’t lying about this because his expression was genuine. I couldn’t believe Liam and Lila put me up to this. I was thrown off balance and nearly lost my sense of living because of that ultimatum, thinking I might just wake up one morning and not see them again.They had given me a week, and this was the fifth day with just two days remaining for the time to elapse. With every day that went by, I felt more desperate, more lost and more afraid. But now that Liam was severely injured and wouldn’t be able to use his r

    CHAPTER 148LILY’S POVI knew he’d be persistent but I didn’t think it’ll be in a place like this. I hated staying close to him. Because when I do, I find it hard to keep my feelings in check. While in the ambulance van, the thought of Liam had helped keep my mind off him. Helped keep me from thinking about our closeness in the van, our bodies almost touching due to the limited space.I hate him. The hatred I felt towards him was unlike any other. I hate him for what he did to me. I hate him because ever since his arrival things haven’t been going well for me. I let him know about that and I was sure it crushed his soul to a pulp. Despite all that hatred and anger I felt toward him, I still hadn’t gotten over him, which was so pathetic and hypocritical of me. I was one heck of a fucking mess and it was all his fault! Seeing his face every day, hearing that deep, infuriating voice that sent tingles running through me no matter how hard I tried to fight it was driving me crazy. He had
