His phone rang, I grabbed it from him and picked. "Hello, who's this? Where are my children?! Give them back to me!" I screamed into the phone."Hello, bitch. Been a while." The voice chuckled, it was mischievous-sounding.Tears were already falling down my face, disbelief and shock spread through my features. "Catherine?""I'm glad you remember me." She laughed again.Uncle Pete was surprised, he gestured for me to put in on loudspeaker."Where's my husband? I want to talk to him."With shaky fingers, I handed the phone to Uncle Pete.He took it. "Catherine?""Yes, it is me darling. How have you been? I've missed you, it's been years.""Why do you have the children? How do you even know about them?"A low, sinister chortle emanated from her. "You should know by now, I will do anything to have you back with me.""Release the children.""I would love to but you have to get Mia out of

"Where are my babies?" I cried, struggling to get up from the hospital bed I was laid in.The heart monitor beeped faster and erratically. "Calm down, Hailey. You'll end up hurting yourself." Jared was trying to calm me but I was having none of it.Uncle Pete was nowhere in sight and neither were my kids. "No! I need to see my babies." I would not stop crying. The mental image of my babies tied up and unconscious in those boxes was enough trauma for me. Who would do that to five year olds? Zaya and Zion were innocent in all of this. Why would Catherine do this to my children?"Calm down and I promise to get them for you." Jared's tone took on a softer edge. I met his gaze. "Where are they? A-are they fine?""Yes, they are. The doctor said they're responding to treatment and will be awake soon. I'm sure you do not want to them to see you in this state." He said as a way of trying to make me relax.I stopped struggling but it was hard to relax. I couldn't relax until I was sure they

JAREDI stood at the window watching her. She was tired and unwell, that much was obvious.There was this difference about her that I'd noticed the moment I set my sights on her in that ballroom.She had changed in these past few years. The old Hailey would never have been bold enough to arrest Mia. Or talk back at me.Hell, she even raised a hand to my face in public. Well, honestly, I think I deserved that slap. I should never have made such an insensitive statement.I would apologize for it as soon as things were back to normal.She held both arms of her kids and closed her eyes, her body slouched on the seat. For some reason, I found her incredibly strong and appealing but I shouldn't.She was my uncle's fiancee. It was still a shock to me realizing what she and my uncle had achieved together.I was angry. And yes, jealous as well.They had two beautiful, smart kids. Something I craved for. Maybe I should not have asked her to abort years ago, that was stupid of me. But how would

CHRISTIANAnger surged through my veins but I could not react or act upon it, not when there were four hefty bulldogs in dark sunglasses and black attire daring me with their presence to make a wrong move. I was yet to heal from the beating from two days ago.Denise was with them. "Why are you doing this, Denise? I trusted you." I could only express my anger and disappointment with minimal action to back it up."Hailey trusted you." She replied calmly. "You never told me you were siblings. Why?" I was currently standing outside the gate of the mansion I used to live with Hailey until I had thrown her out. Denise was doing the same to me. Fuck! To think I loved her."Step siblings." She corrected, then continued. "Why should I have told you? Where's the fun in that?""Does Hailey know?" I wanted to know because Hailey never told me she had any step sibling. In fact, she was an only child from what she'd told me."You think she would have married you if she did? No, of course not."

The loud, erratic beeping machine of the machine startled me out of the chair, landing me on the floor.My eyes were wide open with confusion and for the briefest period of time, disoriented too. Before it suddenly seeped into the sleeping part of my brain that I was in the hospital with my children.I turned to see it was Zaya yet again. She was bleeding and this time, it was worse than before.I gasped, fear choked words out of me. "Zaya baby." I crawled to where her bed was to check her. There was blood flowing out of her mouth and nose. Scrambling to my feet with tears blurring my vision and my heart rate faster than normal, I ran to towards the door to find the doctor."Doctor!" I called, spotting her already hurrying this way. Maybe she has heard the beeping. "I heard, ma'am." Her tone was calm but there was an urgency underlying it that had me wondering if all was well.I gave way and allowed her into the room. She was on her pager. "Bring the gurney to the VIP room two now!

CATHERINE I pulled the hood of my sweatshirt tighter around my face to prevent being seen. Though it was night, I could not risk it. My identity should not be unmasked. I could not be arrested again. Moreover, I was living low until my plans were fully and successfully hatched.I turned a corner, my eyes scanning the area for anyone who might recognize me. I headed for the St. Thomas bridge, hoping he was already waiting for me.As I neared the bridge, I saw the glint the headlight of a black car, I walked faster relieved he was already there, hiding my face from the streetlights strategically rooted around the area.He came out as soon as he spotted me coming close to his car parked at a corner of the bridge. The weather was cool, maybe because of the soft whoosh of the big waters beneath."Mr. Phil Pillax?" I wanted to be certain I had the right person.He, too, had concealed his identity under a long coat with hood. "Yes. Catherine Johnson?"Peter had sent me divorce papers years

MIA"Why is he not back yet?" I paced the living room, my mother-in-law's eyes following me."Try calling him again." She suggested.She was worried, I heard it in her voice. It had been anger at first but I guessed anger had morphed into worry.As for me, it was still anger. I knew he was with that bitch."I have called him a million times and he's not picking. What is wrong with him?!" I cussed, anger squeezing my insides. "That stupid Hailey!"She was always getting in my business. That bitch! I'd not forgotten how she'd had me arrested. She would pay for doing that to me. For now, I needed my husband back home with me."You're quiet, Martha." I halted my pacing to see my mother-in-law watching me thoughtfully. "What?""Did you know Hailey has children?" She questioned, meeting my gaze."No. I was even surprised to know she has kids. I didn't even know about them until I was arrested." I let out an exasperated groan, taking a seat opposite her."Me too." She fell silent but it was

"Why can't I see my daughter?" I queried the doctor that was put in charge of my children. I had been discharged this morning, the doctor had certified my health better and my blood pressure was now back to normal.It had taken a lot of will from me to achieve that. I knew if I kept being sick, I would not be allowed to see my children and care for them as I should.Also, if I needed to stand up for myself and my kids, I needed to do that while standing on my feet with my head held high. It was obvious the likes of Catherine would not rest nor wanted to see me happy so I'd pay her back. No peace for her as well.But currently, this doctor was annoying me. Why was she refusing me from seeing my daughter?"Because you can not, ma'am." She insisted."I am her mother, I have every right." I was tempted to raise my voice but I didn't.This was the pediatric wing. For the sake of the sick children, I wouldn't.But I was this close to losing it. Uncle Pete was not here with me. He had gone

MIAThe smile that had plastered itself on my face would not come off and I didn't think I wanted it to. This was going to be another issue but I didn't realize how much I missed waking up beside Jared.I couldn't remember much of yesterday but I knew something had happened between us both and it was really nice. I wish both brothers would let me be with them together.A woman having two husbands was unusual but not forbidden. "Where have you been?"The familiar voice finally succeeded in wiping off my smile, the old hag. Slowly, I did a turn to face her. I'd intentionally ignored her presence on one of the sofas while her face was glued to the television, hoping she'd ignore me as well. "Out." My response was bland."Jerome called you all night and this morning.""I already told him where I'd be." I knew how to deal with Jerome, if only Martha would butt out of it. "Yeah, of course." She sneered."What are you watching the television for anyways, you're better off in your room."
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Home At Last
"Hailey?" "Mommy!"Celine was with Zion when I entered...or to be exact, pushed in by the good, nerdy doctor.She seemed shocked to see my condition but was happy as well. She hurried towards me.Zion too. They hugged me at the same time, causing a wince to escape me as Celine's embrace was a bit too tight, so was my son's but his hands were still very small and could do no harm or cause much discomfort.Not to say I didn't like Celine hugging me but my body was still covered in bruises. I guessed she heard me wince and pulled back, releasing her hold on me. She took a long examining look at me, her brows furrowing. "What happened to you?""Mommy, I missed you. Who hurt you?" Zion chipped in, his innocent eyes roaming my face. "I'll be fine, baby." I held his both hands, my heart swelling with love for my son. I couldn't tell him exactly what had happened. He was too young to hear such plus he wouldn't even understand all of it. "Who did this to you?" Celine asked, her expressi
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns The Escape
It's been hours since Christian left after receiving that call, but he'd made sure the doctor had left as well before locking me in.I had to find a way to escape but how? I had no phone to make call. I tried to stand on my feet, it was a failed attempt. Frustration, pain and anger clawed viciously at me. I couldn't even walk to get to the door, much less break it to find a way out of the door.The only thing I was capable of doing was sitting on the bed and crying my eyes out. The pain relief drugs that doctor had given me just before he left had helped with the pain some. I heard an activity just outside the door, making me apprehensive. I couldn't tell what was happening but when the door opened few minutes later, it was the doctor.Relief flooded me. A familiar face, the one I hoped to see before I eventually gave up. "Doctor? I stopped hoping you would come a while ago.""I didn't think I'd change my mind too. My conscience and need for not involving myself were at a clash, I t
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Her Blood Is On His Hands
PHILIPI watched from across the street as they held hands, my blood boiling. "Imagine the bitch I married! As though selling me out was not enough, she had to get a boy toy!""That's Christian, Denise's ex. Who would have thought that my stepdaughter's ex would end up with your wife? Life's funny." Derek was making a joke out of it and it was irking me.I turned from the wheel to give him a look, he raised his hand in mid-air surrender. "Don't be so uptight, man.""Try telling that to someone whose life is ruined by the devil he married. The police have raided my home and company. They have literally taken over. I can never return to my old life. All the companies I have shares with are busy ratting me out to the cops and pulling me from my shares." There was an angry whine coated in my words. "Well, their reputation is also at stake, Philip. You slept with their wives and girlfriends, they didn't like it but for the sake of their reputation, you were put on board. Now that your sec

DENISEThese spoilt rich kids knew nothing more than to command and act like they deserved to be pampered and obeyed. Jared might be a hardworking, nice guy but he was nonetheless as spoiled as, his brother, Jerome was.I was doing my best here yet he couldn't even be thankful for it. He was lucky we couldn't yell, else I'd be screaming his ear off! What a crazy, spoilt guy Hailey had to go find her...what the fuck! I legit froze for a minute the moment I saw the person I'd never expected to see before rushing away from view to go hide at a corner. Peeking my head out from behind one of the pillars in the wide restaurant of the hotel, I studied him and the woman he was with.She looked older than him. What was he doing with an older woman? Who was she?My brows quirked in surprise as he lifted her hand, kissing it. Oh my! When did my ex become interested in older women?I couldn't see the woman's face, just her back and if the years of wealth I'd lived in was anything to go by, I

JARED"Hey." The look of surprise on her face showed she'd thought I'd never want to see her again.And she was right. I never wanted to see her again but if she was the vessel to be used in finding Hailey and helping her get revenge for the destruction of her family's company, then I had to. "Hey." I was sure my expression was unfriendly and stoic."I was not expecting you to call me." She took a seat, facing me at the table of the restaurant of the hotel Denise and me had finally agreed upon.Denise had wanted us to use the restaurant in my own hotel but I'd refused. No extra person had to know about my hotel and I definitely didn't want Mia going there. "I wouldn't have called you if it wasn't important." My response was sharp that it had her blinking, her surprise deepening. I had to play this out better than I was doing. "I'm sorry, I've just been stressed, you know. Trying to get my life back on track."She observed me, then looked around us, her eyes sweeping the area in an o
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns The Doctor's Visit
"She'll be fine, though the healing process might take a while." The doctor diagnosed, after checking me up medically."H-how long is a while, doctor?" I was the one asking. It was my second day here, the doctor had arrived five minutes ago. I'd watched them exchanged pleasantries all the while hoping the doctor would be kind enough to help me. "Depends. Could be months or a year. Your bones are badly fractured and to repair will take time. Your face also, it'll take time but it will definitely heal. We can facilitate the process by having you do surgery."A year? Months before I could walk again? Tears stung my eyes that I so badly wanted to be left alone to cry my eyes out. Christian stood beside my bed, observing without a word. Saving the tears for later, I willed them back. "Is the surgery reconstructive?""Just know it is nothing that will alter your original facial features, just to fix a few damaged tissues." His tone was reassuring, he had probably seen the fear in my eye
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Her Stepsister To The Rescue
JARED"What were you saying on the phone earlier?" I questioned as soon as she opened the door of her suite. "Hello to you too." She closed the door and pulled her see-through robe tighter around her, taking slow steps towards me. "What deal did you make with my brother?" I ignored her attempt at making me realize how rude and brash I'd been walking into the suite without a word of greeting.I didn't care about greetings at this point, my head was full and my heart was bothered greatly by Hailey's disappearance. "The deal that will get us what we both desire." She stated casually, walking past me to go get glasses and a bottle of chilled wine on the mini glass refrigerator-shelf "How do you expect us to find evidence of Mia cheating on him?" Frustration and annoyance tinged my tone, not to mention the fear lurking behind for Hailey. It would have been better if she was kidnapped for ransom only purpose, I'd have paid to have her free and by my side. "We find someone, a guy, lure
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns One Mission, Different Methods
UNCLE PETEWe reached the location where Hailey's car was abandoned.There were few spectators curiously miling around to know what had happened to both the owner and the car. One of the brake lights was smashed into a lamp post. The front of her car door was open. Jared stuck his head inside to know if he could find anything useful.His location had led us here and when he finally brought out his head, he was holding a phone. "Her phone. Found it on the floor of the car.""Is it still in good working condition?" I asked. He tapped the screen of the phone, it came on immediately. "Yes, I guess it is." He gave the whole vehicle a thoughtful stare. I could literally see the wheels of thought turning in his head. "She was kidnapped, that much is clear." I said with certainty."Of course she was kidnapped, damn it!" Angrily, my nephew punched the body of the car. "Relax, Jared. All we need to do is involve the police." I reminded him.He gave me a rueful glare. I exhaled, raised my
