Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Her 'Wake Up' Call
"Hello..uhh, can you call back, she's sleeping. This is not a good...""Who's that?" I blinked my eyes open after the half part of my brain that had been awaken by his voice nudged me out of my vague dream."Yes, thank you. I think that'll be better." He ended the call, removing the phone from his ears. "I'm sorry for waking you, just go back to sleep.""Who was that?" Though I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, I was curious to know who had called me. "A guy named Kazim. He said...""What the hell? Why did you pick my call?!" I lashed out, grabbing my phone from him and jumping out of the bed, dashing out of my room."He would not stop calling. What is wrong with you?" His annoyed voice followed me out.Not bothering to reply, I headed for one of the rooms far away from mine so he would not listen in. My temples throbbed.I dialed Kazim's number. "Did you tell him anything?" I asked as soon as he picked. "No, ma'am." He replied."Okay, thank goodness. Now what do you have for me

"Uncle Pete." I called, knocking on the door of his room. "Hailey." He opened the door.He was looking all dressed up which was quite surprising because he was not supposed to go to the office today. Though we didn't talk about it but I just lost my daughter. I thought we would all be home. But then again, he wasn't exactly dressed for the office. "Where are you going all dressed up?" I asked, sizing him up."I...I have a meeting with someone." He replied. "How are you feeling now?""I just lost my daughter, how do you think I am?" I threw back."Fair enough. But I want you to be fine, Hailey. I really do " His tone turned sympathetic and caring. I swallowed a big lump and nodded. "I want to ask you something." "What is it? Do you want to come in?" He opened his door wider."No." I shook my head. "I'm fine here. I just wanted to ask this. You once told me your brother, Jared's father, died on a business trip. But then you said he was found dead with a knife stuck in his chest. Wh

"I don't even know where or how to start." His tone was low, broken and defeated. "I told you we'll find a way." I reassured him.He turned to him with red, despaired eyes. "You said 'we'?""Yes. Or do you find it impossible?" I asked, maintaining eye contact with him.He shook his head, his shoulders slumped. "No, it's not that. I'm just surprised you're willing to help me."We locked gazes for what seemed like a long time but was actually for a few seconds. I cleared my throat and averted my gaze, shrugging. "I'm doing it for Zion. He needs to be able to achieve his dreams and live as he wants without having the alleged scandalous past of his father weighing down on him." He bit his lower lip, though slightly. "Yeah, you're right. And thank you for that.""For what?""For giving me this opportunity to know my son." He voiced though depressingly. I had never seen Jared in such sad state before and it tugged on my heartstrings for him. I moved closer to hold one of his hands. "We

"What is wrong with you, Jared? Get down from this vehicle." We were already in the hospital but Jared was refusing to step down."You forced me to come here. You can't force me to see her." Came his tired reply."She's your mother and no matter what she has done, she needs you now.""Thanks to her and that bitch I married, there's nothing left of me to need. What exactly is she needing me for? She ruined me, so she has no right to need me!" He responded heatedly.I could see he was ready to buck and fight me this time. He was angry, getting angry as well would not solve anything.I willed myself to be calm. "I know you're pissed and you have every right to be. I should be the last person pushing you to go see your mom especially with my history with her. You know how much damage she brought to my life and how she treated me.""Then why are you helping her? I say we get the hell out of here and leave her there to...""To w

"Hello, mommy. Are you there?" The phone was still pressed to my ear but my son's voice was now a far away echo. My whole attention was now on Jared and the ward my daughter had died in. Pain hit even harder and made breathing a bit difficult. Without meaning to, I removed the phone from my ear and ended the call, my watery gaze steadfast on Jared. Pocketing my phone, I stepped forward on shaky legs and a bleeding heart while steadying my breath.He spotted me and quickly brought out his handkerchief to wipe his eyes as though he was embarrassed to be seen being vulnerable. "Hi. I...I was looking for you." My voice had gone from clear to croaky. He shrugged, refusing to look at me. "I wanted to be away from that woman.""Jared." Despite the fact that standing so close to my daughter's ward had my soul and every other part of me mourning woefully, I felt sympathy for him. "I'm sorry you saw me like this..." He apologized, still using the handkerchief to ensure there was no trace

MIA"Oh Lucia, what do I do? This is so messed up." I was nervous and apprehensive.Jerome was a bastard! How could he have done something like this without letting me in on it? How could he even set his brother up this way?Oh God, Jared must be feeling very bad at the moment. I'd been unable to reach him since today. It was really late and he was yet to be home.He would be with uncle Pete and that Hailey girl. It even annoyed me what he saw in her. Ever since her return, he'd been neglecting me.Anyways, that was not the issue here.I just needed him home to ensure he was okay but the wait was killing me so I had to call my best friend."It's not your fault, is it? He decided to sleep around. You should be divorcing him and suing his cheating ass." Lucia, my ever loyal friend, uttered angrily.Lucia didn't know the whole story. In fact, she didn't know the story at all.I emitted a

JARED"We're over? No. No. No, babe. We can not be over, please." She ran after me, blocking my path once again much to my irritation and boiling anger. I had never for once in my life raised a hand on a woman, she was the first. I was currently pissed with myself for letting it happen but then again, my justification was 'she deserved it.' She was a collaborator in ruining my life and now I had nothing left. Hailey and our son seemed to be the only positive part of my life in that moment. "Stay away from me, you whore!" I spat in her face.She flinched, then I saw the sudden change in her. It was like watching Dr. Jekyll become Mr. Hyde. Her pupils dilated in a rush of rage. "Don't call me that!""Isn't that what you are?" I threw at her, unfazed by her dramatic change in behavior. She pushed me with all her might. "And Hailey? What do you call someone who fucks a married man? You're one to apportion blames, Jared Johnson, what do you have to say about your concubine of six years

"Is this his house?" My son gazed through the window from his position in his specially custom-made car seat that had his name on it.I initially had him in the backseat but he'd insisted on the passenger seat. His nose was almost kissing the tinted window which he could see through but not that clear. Just about enough to have his curiosity piqued more."Yes, baby." I drove into the compound and headed straight for Jared's garage. "Mommy used to live here."It was the following morning, I'd decided to come see him and know how he was faring. He needed all the support he could get, moreover, I just wanted to see him.Uncle Pete had left for the office before Zion and me left the house.When Zion had asked me where I was headed this morning, after he barged in to see me dressing up in my room, I'd told him I was coming to see Jared.Surprisingly, he was all too eager to follow me. He was really beginning to like Jared and gr

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
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns The President's Secret
"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
