Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Two Psychos And Their Plan
JEROME"What happened to your nose, man?" My brows furrowed a little as he walked into my house.Not saying anything, he walked past me, heading straight for the kitchen. He returned with an ice pack and a can of beer.The pack was pressed to his nose, he opened the can and began to gulp."Did you know that your brother is married to that Pillax man's daughter. That Priscilla is her mother?" He finally gave me his attention, the pack still pressed to his nose."You mean Mia? Of course, we grew up together. She's my girl." I informed him.His eyes widened. "She's your...oh, no wonder." His brows knitted thoughtfully."No wonder what?""No wonder your brother was accusing her...me of being another lover. She's having an affair with you and married to him? What the hell?" He chugged more beer, still pressing the pack to his broken nose."How did you even find out? I mean, did you guys stu

"Uhm... okay, uncle. Call you later." He ended the call.Our gazes were locked in on each other. It was quiet and a bit tensed for me. What was going on right now?"Why?" He finally asked, emotions overwhelming on his face. "Why what?" I threw back, not understanding what the actual problem was. "You went to see the President behind my back and speak to him on my behalf?" He sounded as though he couldn't believe it. "Something wrong? You don't like it?" I didn't like the little straws of apprehension tightening my nerves. I didn't... haven't done anything wrong."I..." He dropped his phone on the table and rubbed a hand against his face and ruffling his dark, lush hair. "You..." He heaved a sigh. The apprehensive feeling was unwelcomed and so I changed it to anger. "Sorry if you find my help unsettling. I need to go." The last statement came out wobbly. I blinked back tears. I was just trying to help but it would seem I had overplayed my part and gone beyond. He could not even pr

"Well, that was... unexpected." I was still breathless from the mind-blowing... sex? Should I call it that? This was more intimate... deeply meaningful. Or not. There was no need to go there. "Making love with you is always unexpectedly mind-blowing, baby." He kissed my forehead. "Oh." Was all I could say. He had literally described what we just had using the same word I'd thought — mind-blowing. And rather than sex, he'd said 'making love'."I love you." He kissed me lightly on the lips.I didn't reply just as I hadn't replied when he'd confessed to being in love with me seconds before pounding into me.My heart reacted at his words and I knew I felt something potent for him but after all I'd gone through, not just his hands but Christian's too, I had to be careful. Love wasn't something I was ready for or wanted. I enjoyed his presence and every other thing in-between but commitment was a no-no for me. It was too soon to step onto that terrain of love and happily-ever-after. I

MIAAngry tears filled my eyes as I started the engine of my car and drove out of the company. I needed to do something about that Hailey bitch!I could not lose my marriage. Jared gave me the stability, love, care and affection I needed. Jerome, yes, I did love him but there was nothing he could offer me except great sex. He was trouble. A trouble I could not resist. My phone rang, I checked my caller ID. With a frown and blurry vision, I swiped the red button. Speak of the devil, and he would call. I'd been avoiding Jerome's calls for sometime. Knowing him, it was only a matter of time before he'd find me but that was not my concern right now.I needed to fix my home. Then Jerome and I could continue from where we left off but only more careful this time.I dialed my best friend's number and waited for her to pick. "Hey girl." Her chirpy voice came on. "Hello Lucia." I sniffled."What's wrong? Are you crying?" I could practically see her frown as she asked me those questions."

PRISCILLA"What took you so long? I almost thought you wouldn't come again." I stopped my restless pacing and blew a relieved breath when I opened the door to see him standing there. "Oh..what happened to your nose?" I moved back to let him in and quickly locked the door. "Long story. Why didn't you tell me your daughter is Mia?" He questioned the moment he stepped into the room."I did tell you I have a daughter named Mia. What's wrong?" I was quite puzzled at his attitude. He seemed surly and quite unhappy. There was also a little bit of nerves. What was wrong with him?"But you didn't tell me who exactly she was. You didn't say she is married to Jared Johnson." It felt like he was accusing me of a wrong I was yet to know I committed. "If there's something you want to tell me, let it out. You're suddenly beginning to act like Philips and I don't like it. Maybe you should leave." I went to plop on the bed. He sighed, then came to join me. "I'm sorry darling. I'm just stressed. I

"Wait, wait. This is not the road to my house." Celine's croaky voice interjected Jared's and I little discussion. "I'm sorry but there is an emergency. We won't be able to drop you off. We'll go to my place. Don't worry, I'll drive you home later." I promised her."But I need to have a bath and change my clothes. I've been wearing these for the past few days." Her tone had gone ever lower. I turned around to give her an observing once-over. "You and me should be about same height and weight. You'll fit into my clothes comfortably." "Okay." And she went quiet after that. My gaze shifted to my sleeping son, he was still napping peacefully. "But how did this happen? How could she have gone missing?" Jared continued from where we left off."I don't know. We just have to go find out."The rest of the ride to my place was silent. Jared picked up the speed and many minutes later, he was driving into the estate. Then into the compound. Suddenly I remembered Noah. I heaved a sigh, it's

"You know you don't have to go with us." I said to Celine."Oh, but I want to." Celine insisted. "The President's daughter is missing and I know my presence might not do much but I just want to show concern. I met her once and she was one smarty mouth with plenty of sass to go around."I sat with her in the backseat, covertly studying her expression for hint she might have heard anything. But nothing. I didn't have anything to worry about then. She had possibly heard nothing and was just showing concern just as she'd said. I didn't have the heart to insist she went home. If whatever decision she was taking sat right with her, then no problem. I just hoped the President was too distracted to make a scene over her appearance in his office. Zion and Miss Nancy were home. He was still sleeping. "I'm sorry I forgot to tell the kitchen staff to get you food. On our way home, I'll buy you dinner." I promised.I had totally forgotten about telling the maids to prepare something for her to

Her eyes welled and glistened with unshed tears, I shook my head, begging her not to say anything. She had heard. She'd heard everything we said and it just dawned on me that was the only reason she'd followed us here. She averted her gaze, fixing them on the distraught President who was currently being consoled by uncle Pete.She stepped forward, I tried to hold her back but she snatched her hand away."Why?" She stood before the President.Jared exchanged looks with me, I was helpless. He also realized she had heard us talking."What are you talking about?" The President was just noticing her presence and I spotted slight fear in his eyes. He looked at me as though to accuse me of betraying our deal. If only he could understand it wasn't my fault. How could I have known she would hear."Don't blame her. She didn't tell me...at least, not directly." Celine moved closer to him."I-I have no idea whatever you're talking about young lady." The President avoided her gaze, his head hun

It was a struggle to open my eyes but when I finally did, the light overhead almost blinded me. I shut my lids back with a wince.Seconds later, I slowly reopened them but was mindful of the bright white light hanging on the ceiling.Trying to move was another chore, I couldn't. Every part of me felt broken, bruised and battered. Then I remembered that in fact, I was beaten, bruised and battered by two masked guys whom faces I never saw. Struggling to push myself to a sitting position, a small cry left my lips. My legs were swollen, had dark red spots and felt too heavy to move. Tears of self-pity blurred my vision the same time I saw someone walk in. "You're awake."I didn't need to see the face clearly to know the voice belonged to... "Christian?" I blinked my eyes, tears hanging onto my lashes wasted no time running down my cheeks. I lifted a hand to swipe at them, another painful cry. My face hurt badly too. Oh God! Was I disfigured? They had targeted my face and legs, those ma
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Finding Hailey
UNCLE PETER"Hailey is no longer taking her calls." My fiancee ran into the room, the look of apprehension blanketing her features painted an unsettling picture in my head but I stopped myself from going there. "It's no cause for alarm, babe." Just as I was speaking, there was Celine behind, sporting the same look."I didn't know you were back." My brows furrowed trying not to go where their head probably was in the moment about Hailey. "Not quite long ago." She replied."Aunt Celine, hi." Zion whom I was playing with before they came in stopped the play-fight amongst his soldiers and waved at her. She rewarded him with a big smile and a wave back. "I missed you, baby Zion."She called him baby Zion and he loved it.He giggled pleasantly and went back to playing. I read their expressions, they silently requested that I come with them. They wanted to tell me something but didn't want Zion to overhear. I hoped all was well. "Hey buddy." I crouched to his sitting level."Yes daddy?"

DENISE"You sure do know how to pick a woman's dress." I admired my body in the mirror, casting my gaze to his with a satisfied wink. His face gave away no emotions, he merely stood from the sofa he was seating. Impatience radiating off of him. "Can we get to the part where we rehearse?""Calm down, cowboy." I cat-walked towards him. "Have no one ever told you not to rush a lady?""Denise, Hailey is beginning to suspect something is up. I have run out of lies and I hate lying to her. So let's just get this over with." Impatience was really singing a tune now. "Where's the phone, recorder and cash you promised to get me?" I held out my hand to him. He pointed to a designer bag on the console table. "In there."My eyes widened in excitement. "You got me a bag! A designer at that!" I ran towards black expensive leather. "You really do know how to shop for a lady.""Yeah, when your ex-wife has expensive tastes for extravagant things, as a man, you'll need to catch up. Alright, here's w

"Hello babe." I drove to the side of the road and parked there the moment his voice came on the speaker. "Hi, Jared. Where are you?" I inquired."I-I'm...I went for a meeting." He replied, I noted something in his voice but couldn't specifically say what it was."Are you okay? What kind of meeting? You don't have a secret company you're running, are you?" "I'll tell you as soon as I'm back." Came his reply."I've missed you. You've been absent from home these past two days. By the time I woke up, you weren't by my side." "I'm sorry baby. I'll get back home soonest. I'm trying to figure out how to keep my life running with the election just five days away and Jerome still in charge, I can not remain idle." "I understand. Will you be long?" I missed him, even Zion as well. Our son had been asking about him, wanting to know of his whereabouts. "Zion misses you too. Says you no longer play with him.""Tell him to forgive me, I'll be back soon and we can play all he wants." I heard a

JARED I know what I was about to do would cause trouble, but I had to do it. Moreover, if she never found out, there would not be a problem. I drummed my fingers on the desk, waiting patiently in the visitor's room. I wasn't the only visitor here, there were others, some were waiting as I was."Well, well, if it isn't the man of my dreams." She was brought before me, taking a seat opposite mine. "Let's go." I began to rise from the seat. "Go where? And just like that?" She raised a brow."Just yesterday, you didn't want to go to prison, today, you're reluctant to leave?""I believe the right word is hesitant. How do I know you're not taking me out of here to go kill me?" She retorted."Kill you? What for? Of what use will your death be to me, Denise?" I sat back down, meeting her gaze. She shrugged, her eyes not leaving mine. "You tell me, Jared.""See, I wouldn't be here if it's not important." I began."Ah-ha! So I'm guessing Hailey doesn't know you're here." It was more of a s

PHILIP"I'm going to kill her! That bitch!" Rage had me in a choking hold."She might be innocent, you know?" Derek said, climbing in after me.We were on our way to the airport, about to leave the country. It was midnight and Derek had pulled some strings, landed us a private plane. For a man who came from nothing, he had connections.Well, he did have money now."She's not innocent...well, she used to be. But that is not the woman I married. I don't understand her anymore. Damnit!" The more I thought about that letter and the fact that my wife had sent it to threaten me, knowing she had gone through my privacy was enough make me resolve to kill her."Whatever man. Let's just leave the country first, revenge will come. Your company is in good hands, that's all." He assured me with a companionable slap on my back. "What are we still waiting for? Let's get going." We were yet to board and the pilot was ready and waiting."I'm waiting for someone." His gaze was searching.Even though i

"This will solve nothing, you know that." She complained bitterly as the policeman cuffed both her wrists. "It'll put you in jail for killing my father." I spat at her.We had just returned from the President's place, I'd called the police to come arrest Denise and take her away. "And then what, Hailey?" She reached the base of the stairs where I was, standing in my face. Her hair and eyes wild. "Then what?!"The policeman was pulling her away from me but she stood her ground, unmoving, still in my face. I took a step closer and our noses were almost touching. "And then I'll find your step father and make him pay for what he's done.""You don't know him like I do, Hailey. Derek Kellers is smarter than you think. You need me to find him. I can help you find him." The policeman was pulling her back, struggling to have her head towards the door. "Let's join hands and defeat him, Hailey. I can find him. I know him.""I don't need your help." Her stubbornness and insistence roused more

"So her father is...was the owner of Codza Company?" The President eyed me in surprise."Yes, Bronx. She came from money. She's not poor as many tend to think." Uncle Pete replied. We had gone to visit the President after uncle Pete had spoken to him. He had asked us to come to his office, Jared wasn't invited but he followed regardless. He was still upset with me but at least, he wasn't totally ignoring me and the fact that I had helped saved Nina. No one talked about or knew anything about her kidnap or release, it was kept under wraps, from the prying eyes and ears of the public, which was a smart idea on my part."Oh. That's a surprise though." He regarded me with a simple look before facing uncle Pete once again. "What's your plan? I've called the Chief of Police and they are yet to get back to me with any useful information.""So it was basically useless coming here." I rose from the chair, fighting back my tears and anger, with the intent to leave. "Hey, watch your mouth, y
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns A Crumbled Legacy
"oh God no! No. No." With trembling hands, I picked up my phone and dialed the line again. It made a disconnected beeping sound. I tried again, same thing. "This is all your fucking fault!" I yelled at her. I heard footsteps. There was uncle Pete. "Hey, what's going on?""She..." Words failed me as I thought of dad on his deathbed asking me to take care for the company and turn it into a great legacy. Dad had told me the story how he started that company. And I'd given it away to the wrong person for love. A stupid, blind, one-sided love! "Derek was already there, at the company. He was already siphoning the cash when we called." Denise provided, although she was talking in a voice that didn't sound like hers. "Damn!" Uncle Pete sighed. "Come here, Hailey." He pulled me up from the floor I'd subconsciously reached on my knees. "So long as you still have the company, we can make it grow. Your father's legacy will continue.""How?" I cried. "The bastard wants to blow up the place
