Pregnant For The Billionaire. Chapter Hundred-Three.
“I made a whole list, narrowing down every fbi most wanted criminal that could possibly be the leader of the mob?” Harold threw gazes between Leonardo and his mother. “You think you’ll find that sort of thing on the internet?” Freya’s voice was hoarse and unkind. But Leonardo was as silent as a graveyard, his eyes fixated into the screen. “Everything is on the internet” Harold cleared his throat, looking through the faces that would strike a familiar chord.“Are these all?” Sheriff Stevens asked and there was a tone that made it obvious that they weren’t really getting anywhere with this. “These are the names that have been linked to the location from which that bloodied parcel came from?” Harold replied but was met with an even more grueling question.“What if we’re looking at the wrong people here?”“Obviously you don’t see a most wanted man roaming the streets of Chicago and how are we even sure that he’s wanted at all. He could have a clean slate with nothing the government has o

Joan barged through the emergency doors of the hospital right next to the bed on which Frederick was wheeled in with. Her eyes darted to the many faces of the paramedics that surrounded her and her foster father was handed over to a bunch of doctors.“We’ll take it from here” A hand struck out to her chest to hold her back and Joan suddenly began to breathe heavily because that meant since the ambulance, she was to finally let go of his cold hands. “Listen to me” The doctor faced her watery eyes and she recognized him from the first time she was here.She really needed this—a familiar face, and assurance. “Is he going to make it? Is he going to be okay?” She quizzed, holding firmly to the sleeves of his scrubs and Enzo pressed his lips together, afraid to give her an affirmative answer. The tear dropped down her cheeks but he grazed the corners of her Joan’s jaw to look into her eyes.“I know Frederick.”“He knows me, he knows i’m the best at what i do. I will try my best, Joan. You’

“Crosschecked the city’s database and found nothing under the name Ivan” Sheriff Steven muttered beneath his breath as he pushed in through the residential doors of Leonardo’s house. He saw both Ryan and Emily slouched in the corner of the dining room but Frye caught his attention more.“Seems like a dead end. So what should we be looking out for now?” She walked up the steps, turning to Leonardo as he corked open a bottle of beer. His hands ran through his hair before letting it fall across his face and he heaved a deep breath.“All i have are the same five people the police thinks could have sent the package” Stevens replied, placing the laptop in his hands to the table and for the first time, Freya seemed genuinely interested in what he had to say. He danced the cursor across the screen but something caught her attention immediately.“Wait wait, go back” Freya pointed her fingers to a photo that he skipped and Leonardo inched closer as well. “I know that man” She realized, turning

"Hello mother.""Are you there yet?" Freya asked panicky over the phone. Then and there, her hands rested against the callous walls and she found herself taking in a deep breath. For the fact that she knew Constantin was enough of a reason to fear that Leonardo was on his way to see him.They weren't close yet as the Lexus car just zoomed out of Norman and headed to the highway that led to Riverdale. Although the two towns in Chicago shared a border somewhat, they were still hours apart. And not even one had passed, but Freya had called more than five times."Not yet" Leonardo croaked as he threw a look out of the windows. His eyes caught the 'Goodbye to Norman' sign before they darted to the ground. He halted his pitter-patters of his shoe to conceal his nervousness but everyone in the car was nervous.Just behind him was a bare-faced Joan with her lips sealed shut. And Theodore, without an ask slipped his hands into hers in an attempt of comfort. She drew towards him and her lips c

"Promise me you're not going to get hurt" "Leonardo!" She called and a sharp breath escaped his lips. But not with any more words. He turned off the speaker and pressed the phone back against his ears. "If not for me, then your kids" Following her voice was a very faint sound from Emily and he pushed yet another lump down his throat."Promise us you'll come back." She whispered. "I will" He blurted out just then and a crinkle curled his lips. The car came to an immediate halt in the gas station and Leonardo sat forward."I will be back with Isabella" He assured and then ended the call. Stevens climbed out the other side while he alighted from the right. "What happened?" Leonardo asked, his voice almost buried amidst the creaking of the crickets by the shrubs on the roads."We're meeting Jazzlyn and Daniel somewhere around here" Joan stepped out of the car and Leonardo threw her a look. Stevens jerked the fuel pump and inserted it into the car. "Since when?" He asked. "Since they text

Unknown Number: Argon Towers, 5AM. If you want her alive, come alone.Leonardo blatantly stared at his phone screen for more than a few minutes and horror slowly seeped into his eyes which he batted to close. His fingers turned off his phone immediately Joan reached out to him.“So what should i text him?” She asked the whole car and Stevens looked through the rear view mirror before looking right back at Leonardo. The empty packet of his burger crunched between his hands and the whirling steering wheel. He could tell something was up with the billionaire.“A hey, hello?” Daniel sat forward but Jazzlyn cut him short. “A hey would be too bleak, we need something that he might actually consider replying to” She interrupted and Leonardo muttered beneath his breath.“We need to consider a plan that might actually work” He said.“I thought you were in on it earlier” Theodore asked and he rolled his eyes to the back. “This is our best shot” Stevens added. Toying with the phone in his hands,

There's a popular saying about how you never really get over your first love. Several arguments regarding whether it's a myth or if it's indeed true, controversially, i'll agree to the latter.There's something about loving someone for the first time that insinuates that it's your deepest—your most vulnerable. That love represents your youth, a younger and much simpler time that most people long their whole lives for. It's a life changing experience, feeling so strongly for one person to have it all devastatingly end.

Joan’s feet stepped on a stick and a snapping sound echoed through the air—it was followed by the flight of several birds which broke away from the tree right beside them and went ahead to hover in the skies. Theodore, with a sharp reflex threw his head over his shoulders to her and she chuckled.“I’m fine” She lifted her feet and marched towards him. “You know you don’t constantly have to worry about me?” She asked him and there was a crack in her voice. He hummed, slowly nodding his head that one would believe he actually agreed to a word that she said.“Come on i’ve been here the past few years. This is just typical Chicago”“This much chaos?” He clicked his tongue in a way that forced a laughter through her lips. It came so unexpected that when her lips sealed, it rang back an echo that seemed indeed like a strange sound. She hadn’t remembered the last time she laughed like this. There was always something—the most outrageous thing that would come back to haunt her like the slimm

FIVE MONTHS LATER.Isabella gathered the hems of her flowing white dress as she heaved in a deep breath. Her face turned crimson with blood draining from her cheeks and she turned to Joan who was right beside her. "I'm so nervous" She whispered beneath her breath with her shoes grazing into the fields.There were roses all around them and they stood just behind the door yet to open. "The dress is beautiful, Isabella. You're perfect.” Joan whispered, being her maid of honor for her second wedding and they shared a chuckle."It's like a full circle moment" Isabella beamed a smile and Joan rested unto her arms."But it's different now" She said."Either way i'm glad i get to do this with you again. I'm glad i still have you" Isabella pushed a hard lump down her throat. "Have you thought about what Leonardo said?" She asked for the nth time and i remembered months ago when he told me of his plans to leave Norman.That it was up to me though, to decide what exactly a fresh slate meant."I

“Hey” Her soft voice drew to him as he brought his eyes to open. The incessant beeping of the heart monitor subdued behind her voice and Em inched closer to him. Gerald’s eyes were slow but the moment he recognized her, there was a large grin that spread across his lips. “I’m here” She comforted, leaning forward to place a kiss on his cheek.“You’re okay” Her hands pressed lightly on the wrapped gunshot wound in his chest and he nodded. “Isabella?” He softly asked and Em held his hands to her lips and with tears in her eyes, she nodded. “She’s okay—”“Everyone’s okay.”His hands fell around his wrist and there was the bracelet he’d gotten for her thirty years ago. Gerald’s eyes shimmered with tears as he gazed upon the beautiful beige dress she still wore. “You kept it” He whispered and Emily nodded her head fraily.“Of course i kept it” She smiled. There was a minute of silence between them as she wiped beneath her eyes but then Isabella knocked upon the doors before walking in. “You

Leonardo burst out the other side of the door and the heat from the serenading flames hit him in his face. He tied a cloth around his nose and he searched through his foggy vision to make out everything around him.It was a painstaking effort with his feet crunching into a piece of glass and the parts of the ceiling that had crumbled to the ground. “I say we take ahead!” Theodore yelled, looking at the only way still feasible. Leo choked but somehow managed to get himself in order in a minute.The sound of approaching sirens blared from outside the door but by the looks of it, they seemed still far away. He didn’t have time—and so did Isa. “Let’s go” He chanted and they filed down the corridor, searching each room for what was left. The whole house was dark, even as the skies were visible through the shattered roof. “Isabella!” He yelled at the top of his voice, taking down the mask across his face for a second. “Joan!” Theodore yelled too, in the hopes that she was here as well.“Is

TWENTY FIVE MINUTES UNTIL MIDNIGHT.The car finally came to a halt and from a distance walked Sheriff Stevens accompanied by both Christian and Theodore. In a world that had gone digital, it was surprising that they didn’t show up with a large bag of cash to submit to the mafia Lord but rather just a plain-old cheque.“You’re nothing like i expected” Constantin turned around when he suspected their footsteps had drawn them close enough. The sheriff met his cold gaze with a defensive stance. “I’ll say the same” He muttered and then his eyes roamed both Christian and Theodore who acted like bodyguards. “I thought i told you to come alone” He looked as far as the car but with the silence that enclosed them on this deserted coast, he was moreso convinced. “Do you want your money or not?” Stevens hissed back at him, pulling out the cheque from his pocket and Constantin scoffed from his lips. “I’m not stupid. Bring out all the hostages and then i’ll give you the money.” The sheriff negoti

Stevens dashed across the bordering sign that demarcated Norman and Riverdale with his hands firmly grasping the steering wheel. He was on the edge of his seat but somehow managed to steal a glance at the clock.ONE HOUR UNTIL MIDNIGHT.“We can still make it” Gerald piped forward, drawing the chair behind. Em was at the front seat and she allowed their eyes to meet in a tensive second. “It’s okay” Gerald whispered with an affirmative nod. “It’ll soon be over” He reached to her hands and Theo pushed a hard lump down his throat. All, that on his mind was Joan’s safety and whether or not she was okay. “Do you have the complete money now?” Emily turned to the sheriff, still reeling in the disbelief of how they raised a hundred million dollars in twenty four hours. He nodded, darting a stare back at her. “I mean Harold was the last. He was able to get an upfront deal of about forty for the shares of the Norman hotel. Christian wired my ten and Gerald as well—And your uncle transferred t

The slow jazz pierced through Emily’s ears as she wrapped her hands around Gerald’s neck. Indulged in the dance, she didn’t raise her head but that was until it was his turn to swing her. She moved her hips so elegantly like she was young again and after an hour, she admitted to be wrong because there was something about the dance that eased her tension. The music stopped and there was a round of applause, the same moment that allowed them to intimately look into each other’s eyes. “You were amazing” Gerald whispered but before Em could mutter another word, her eyes caught him.“Klaus!” She blurted out.There he was, by the bar downing a glass of champagne with a younger mistress in his hands. He was headed for the stairs and Emily fixated his eyes on him, unwilling to let him misplace in the colorful crowds. She tried to catch her breath and the hemming of her dress as she moved closer.This place was big, the walls a glittering gold with a low hanging silver chandelier dropping fro

Isabella awoke to a dimly lit candle in the corner of the room.The crimson orange flames flickered in her eyes with a slight pitter-patter sound of the wax burning. It curved to the side and just that single piece was able to warm the room, ridding it of it’s unconducive iciness. She shivered off the remnant cold as she sat up. The heavy chain followed even the slightest movement of her hands, letting out a thunderous clang as she retracted them. Her eyes met Kayla who was quivering in fear just opposite her. “It wasn’t there before” Isa’s voice interrupted the eerily silent room. Her eyes looked pointedly to the candle flame but then suddenly something fell right in front of her.“Oh my God” She clutched her chest, startled to her bones and Kayla let out a shaky scream. The pair of black rubber boots that sauntered towards her drew her attention before whatever it was that was thrown to her. “Take a look” The familiar voice towered over her and Isabella didn’t even need to lift her

“I’m sorry but Mr Sanders left a little while ago” The woman behind the desk pressed her lips together and it was a like a sword of disappointment struck through Emily’s chest. She batted her lashes and then exchanged glares with Gerald.“I’m sorry—to where?” She stuttered.Her hands reached across the counter and she tapped her fingertips into it. “And when will he be getting back?” She asked and the receptionist was a bit reluctant divulging any piece of information for these strangers in front of her. Emily saw the crinkle form between her eyes and a sharp breath escaped her lips.“Look i know you know who i am.”“If not from my last name then perhaps from Klaus telling you never to engage with his own niece if ever she came around. Short, brunette haired with the mouth like a tap is exactly how he would describe me—““I don’t know what you’re talking about” The lady replied.“Well i call bullshit” Emily cussed and Gerald found his hands holding her back. “My daughter, Klaus’ fucki

Leonardo snapped his eyes open with an agonizing pain spearing through his neck and along the veins of his numb limbs. He was carried by two hefty arms into a large, dark room and when he realized that his consciousness was regained after an hour long sedation, he struggled to break free from the grasps of the arms that restrained him. “Where’s Isabella!” Was the first question that he yelled out through his panting lips. He threw his head upon his shoulders as he was dragged, his feet barely an inch from the callous grounds. And then he was thrown in the deepest and darkest part of what seemed to be a dungeon. The beads of sweat that formed across his head tricked down his body and he wiped across his face, lifting his gaze to see the masked men in front of him. Leonardo was short of breath as he staggered to sit up, using his barely formidable arms as a wedge. He was able to lean against the wall as he searched for his breathes.“Where’s Isabella?” He looked around him and there d
