Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Between Cheating And Lying
MIA"Where are you coming from by this time, Jared?" I stood from the sofa I was occupying before my husband walked in. "Hi, babe." He greeted but without making an effort to have it sound loving as it used to. Nerves knotted and anger was ready to flare. "Don't 'hi babe' me in that nonchalant tone of yours, Jared. It's past ten pm and you're just coming in? You're a married man for fuck's sake!"He merely stared, watching me display my anger. "Won't you say something?!" I was even more vexed at the calmness he was exuding."What do you want me to say?" He shrugged, making to walk past me, towards the stairs. I blocked his path. "That you were out with Hailey and her son today!"His brow raised in surprise. "How did you know?"I folded my arms. "You're not even denying it.""Why should I? You already know the truth." He stuck both his hands in his pockets. It was my turn to be surprised. "So you're having an affair with that bitch?! Huh?! Or is this some stupid plan to get her so
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Marital Affairs, A Broken Vow
I stirred awake, my eyes fluttered open. Where was I? I raised myself to a sitting position and saw I was naked.And there was someone beside me. I turned to see that this person had the blankets pulled over their head. It was none other than my husband.I winced a little as my head throbbed. I shook him awake. "Hey, babe. Wake up."He merely stirred but did not wake. "Christian, get up. We slept through the party." I shook him.The door opened just then. "What is going on here?"I faced the door and paled. There was my husband standing on the doorway.Who was this other guy? "What are you doing, Hailey?" There was anger and hurt.I opened my mouth and closed them back, feeling like a fish out of water. I blinked my eyes to be sure I was seeing clearly. I pulled down the blankets and gasped.Fear squeezed tighter, apprehension crept up my spine. I could feel blood drain from my face."You cheated on me?!" Christian's boyish handsome face went taut in derision and betrayal. "N-no, I
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Payback
In my haste to make a run for the bathroom, I almost fell flat on my face. I managed to untangle the bedsheet around me and within seconds, I was kneeling before the toilet bowl and puking my guts out."Mrs. Baldwin?" A gentle voice called."Almost done." I replied amidst vomits. My maid, Lisa, waited until I was done. I flushed, then gently stood to go rinse my mouth and wash my hands by the sink."Yes, Lisa?" I turned to her when I was done."Your tea is ready, ma'am. It'll help calm your stomach." She said."Thank you. Where's my husband? Did he return home last night?" I was still weak but my stomach was stable a bit.Christian had not been home last night. Due to my morning sickness and other pregnancy-induced factors, I had been unable to wait for him."I think he's in his room." She commented, following me obediently back into our matrimonial bedroom."In his room? You have no idea if he came into our room last night?" That was new. Why was he in his room? We both had our sep
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Wrong Target?
It's been two days. Two days since I last saw my husband. I had no choice than to lodge in a hotel when I saw it was getting late.Thankfully, one of the purses he had thrown at me contained two of three of my credit cards. The third one was in my drawer.I had to get myself a new phone because my old one was on top of my bedside table when I left. I was hurt but I was also trying to understand that he was angry.He had seen me with another man and now, I was carrying another man's child. I tried calling him yesterday since I had his number off hand, he had picked at first but as soon as he heard my voice, he ended it and didn't pick again after that.I was now in a restaurant trying to eat. My baby needed food to survive. Even though I was not hungry, I was obligated to eat for my baby's sake.I did not like the hotel's food so I found this really nice restaurant close by. But after toying with the ravioli I ordered, I pushed it away. I lowered my head so no one would see the tears.
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Public Humiliation
I walked back into the restaurant. I allowed my eyes roamed the place, I spotted where he was seated. I marched towards his table. He was with some men. There were glasses of wine before them and a bottle.There was the waitress who had served me coming towards me. "Ma'am, here's your bill. I..."I ignored her and focused on the table of these men. I randomly picked two glasses still filled with wine and emptied their contents on him, angry tears filling my eyes."I hope your conscience haunts you everyday of your life!" I took the other two wine glasses while he stared in shock and also poured them on him. "I hope you never find peace and may your marriage, if you have any, and life in general be ruined the same way you ruined mine." I wiped tears with the back of my hand. "I hope karma visits you and steal your happiness as you have stolen mine."I turned away from his table and, on heavy legs and with a despaired heart, walked to mine to get my bag. I opened it and brought my card
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns A Big Dent In His Reputation
JAREDA knocked sounded on my door, I was very much in a bad place and would so like to order that person away but this was a business place.I had to be careful, it could be an important client. "Who is that?"The door opened and whoever it was walked in. "What gave you the right to walk in, Miss Bordeaux?" My head was still bent over paperwork.No client would walk into my office without being invited. "Have you read the news, Jared?" I whipped my head up. "Uncle Pete. Good morning.""Morning, Jared. Here." The man who looked so much like my father, he was his twin actually, slid his phone across to me and took one of the chairs opposite mine."What's happening on the news?" Perplexity could be heard in my voice as I took his phone and read what he was trying to show me.Anger tightened. "You know this is not me, uncle."He observed me. "Who is that girl? She seem to be pretty certain of knowing you.""She's a lunatic. Who even allowed this to be posted?! I should shut down that
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns More Trouble
"Where are you taking me to?" I asked, taking note of the different route he was driving.He had come to bail me few minutes ago. I had spent thirty six hours in a holding cell. I'd had my morning sickness just this morning and it was a kind female cop that had helped me with a bucket.I was itchy and unkempt but I didn't care about my physical looks, not when my heart was bruised. This emotional turmoil was too much for me."Is that the apology you should be rendering?" His tone was as I'd heard it the last time — unfriendly and hard."You want me to apologize to you after what you've done to me?" My voice shook badly with sadness and disbelief.I blinked back tears. "Take me to my husband, let's go talk to him. You're the only one who can clear this air! You had sex with me.""Shut up!" He bellowed.His deep angry voice had me flinching as though he'd slapped me. "Someone — who was definitely not me — had sex with you and you didn't even know?! What are you? A child? How can a full
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Family Crisis
"How dare you?! The audacity!" She raged as Uncle Pete pulled her away from me. "Let go of me, Pete. Let me teach this gold digger a lesson!""Don't touch her, Martha. What is wrong with you?! How could you hit a pregnant girl?" Uncle Pete was not at all happy with how she'd behaved.Me, on the other hand, could only cry and hold my cheeks. The events of the past two days bore down heavily on me and had me wailing like a baby before everyone."Stop that crocodile tears of yours and get out of this house!" Jared's mother, Martha bellowed angrily. "You gold digger! You think I don't know your type. You're out to ruin my son. To ruin his reputation. You want to marry into money, is that it?! I'll teach you never to try to humiliate my son! Do you know who the Johnson family is, you stupid whore?!""Enough, Martha! Enough!" Uncle Pete was angry and yelled at her.I sank back into the chair in pain and despair. When I raised my head to meet Jared's gaze, he was quiet. I could not decipher

Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Making Up For The Past
"Mommy, I want some ice cream." My son walked up to me as I was getting off the phone with the doctor in charge of my daughter's treatment.It was the same news. No improvement. She was still as still as dead... almost dead.I swallowed my pain and faced my other child who needed his mother. I was proud of how he was handling this whole thing. Twice I'd heard him pray with Nanny Nancy, asking God to heal Zaya and I always begged God to listen to the prayers of my baby boy. "But you just finished having lunch." I told him.He frowned, walked away towards the kitchen. Curious over his attitude, I followed him. Jared had offered to help with the dishes after we were done. He was being sweet and gentle in these recent times. I could see he was not just here for my kids, but me. Though I was still wary because of what had happened twice to me in the past. "Jared." Zion called as he stepped into the kitchen, not minding I was behind him."Yes, champ?" He turned from the sink.I quickly
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Unknown Number
PETER"Your phone has been ringing nonstop, uncle Pete." Jared gestured to my persistently buzzing phone. "It's an unknown number, I don't like picking unknown numbers." I told him. He was still in I and Hailey's home. Usually, he would be gone by now since we were done discussing but the fact he was still around gave me the impression he was still here for Hailey and Zion.But zero chance with Zion since the boy was yet to warm up to him.So it was mostly for Hailey.Something had happened between them, I could not tell what it was but I knew something had happened. "Why don't you pick your call, uncle Pete?" Hailey appeared from the hallway that led to the kitchen. She was making lunch for us. She'd insisted when the maids wanted to do it. I noticed Jared turn immediately at the sound of her voice and stared with some kind of emotion in his eyes.She, on the other hand, was purposely ignoring his presence and was doing everything to avoid her gaze straying to his direction. A s
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Morning Confrontation
MARTHAI walked into the kitchen for my morning dose of coffee. I wanted to have one of the maids do it but I decided to do it myself. I paused at the doorway when I spotted Mia having breakfast at the island. I made to turn away."Good morning, Martha." She greeted in a calm tone. "Morning." I didn't even bother to glance over my shoulder. "We need to talk." She said. "Not interested." I'd come to hate her and regret why I'd not seen her for who she truly was all these years. "You should be, Martha. Remember we need to work together, cooperate even, if Jared must achieve his political goals." The underlying threat in her tone had me halting in my steps. This was why I avoided confrontations with her. The sly bitch! She could easily ruin my son's life. I loved both my sons but Jerome always brought trouble his brother's way. It was as though he hated Jared with passion. When I had given birth to both of them, I never wished they would hate each other this much.Percy, my late h
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Drama At His Office
JAREDMy eyes widened. "W-what?!" I almost choked on my own spit. "Slow down, Nina. We're never going to happen. You're a beautiful girl...""Woman." She corrected firmly."Sorry. You're a beautiful woman and I'm sure there are guys your age who'll be willing to...""I don't want them. It's you I want, Jared. And it's you I'll have." She rose from her seat. "Come see me off. I have somewhere else to be.""I can't let you go alone. I'll have to reach out to my uncle, then he'll reach out to your father." I brought out my phone.In a swift, unexpected motion, she leaned over and grabbed my phone, giggling and heading for the door in a race."Give me my phone, Nina." I followed her, already exhausted from her child-like behavior."No, I'm not letting you call anyone." She opened the door and I went after her.Eyes raised from their respective jobs once again to lock in on an excited Nina and an embarrassed me.&n
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns The President's Young Daughter
JAREDI was going through the ledger when I heard the little commotion going on outside my office. What was happening?I rose from my chair and stepped out of my airy office to see my secretary having a little banter with someone.Other staff were watching with interest. Few eyes caught my presence and went back to their station or faced their jobs...or at least they pretended to.I had never seen Miss Bordeaux in this infuriated manner. And the person she was talking back to was a bit hidden by a staff's work station."You do not have an appointment, little girl." My secretary snapped."Do you know who I am? Who my father is?" The familiar voice had me halting in my tracks. Maybe I should let Celine handle this one all by herself.I had just done a U-turn and was about to flee to my office when I heard the excited squeal. "There he is! There's my boyfriend!"I froze in place. I could hear the deafening silence that followed her statement. Eyes were on me. Everyone knew I was marri

CATHERINE"You know we have to be careful how and where we meet. The last time we almost got caught by that bitch." I complained as soon as I entered the passenger seat of his car. And by that 'bitch', I meant Hailey. I had been quick to spot her at that hotel before she sent her goons to come after us.She didn't know Derek yet, just me. So it was specifically me she had wanted. Derek and me hadn't met again until now when he'd called to see me. "Exactly why I chose a place far from town and in this car with tinted windows, one can hardly recognize us." He responded, tucking a strand of his brown long hair behind his ear. "How has it been?" I shrugged and lied. "Fine."But I knew everything was far from fine. My son was held in that bastard's custody. And then he'd had the guts to call me to order me to carry out his bidding. "Are you sure?" He observed my expression.Rather than give him a response, I extended my palm. "The money you promised me."He stretched to the backseat of
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns A Scandalous Act With His Secretary
MISS BORDEAUXI stepped out through the glass doors of my workplace, ready to go home. It was such a honor to be working for the second biggest company in the country.Also, with a boss like mine, it was an absolute dream come true. Mr Johnson was such a wonderful sight for good eyes, though it was a bumper he was married. Well, at least, I got to admire from afar. He wasn't the type to chase after women. And he respected the company's rules of no office romance. I hailed a taxi. A young graduate like myself from the trailer knew better than to wish for something she had no right wishing for.Mr Johnson treated me nice like every other staff under him. He paid us well and when I attended trips with him, I sure did have fun but he never made any advances.Sure he would talk to me but in a friendly, boss to employee manner. "Where to, ma'am?" The beardy cab man inquired. "Fin Square." I replied, proceeding to open the back of the taxi."That won't be necessary, Miss Bordeaux. I can
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Conflicted Passion
The room smelled of passion and the result of satisfying lust as we both held onto each other, reaching our climax at the same time. He spilled his seeds inside of me before collapsing on my body. None of us could talk for a while. I waited for my brain cells to return to normal and be able to comprehend what had just happened. When it did, I couldn't even bring myself to look at him or even speak.But I had to say something. "Get off me."I swallowed, totally not expecting my voice to tremble as it had just did. Why was I on the verge of crying over something that I'd been a willing participant?He raised his head to study my expression, then he sighed. It was low but I heard it. "What's wrong Hailey?""Your wife needs you." I managed to get out through an emotional voice.He roll off me but didn't let go, rather he cradled me in his arms. "I promise this is not like six years ago."That made me even struggle harder to get away from him. "Unwrap your arms from my body this minute,
