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

"Good night, Hailey." Uncle Pete yawned, kissing my hair before leaving for his room."Good night, uncle Pete." I watched him trudge the stairs. Then he turned. "Are you sure you're not ready for bed?""While you were out this afternoon, I napped. So I'm not yet sleepy." I told him."Alright." He shrugged, emitted another yawn and continued his journey up the stairs to his room. Everyone in the house was asleep, including the maids, Miss Nancy and my son.When I saw he was out of sight, I tiptoed to the entrance and walked out of the house, heading for the electronic gate. Once outside the compound, I took the short walk with street lamps guiding my steps till I reached the small building.I'd worked on it and had it in a better shape. Money brought quicker results. I knocked on the door. "Good evening, ma'am." The young nurse opened the door for me."Good evening, Nora. Where are Landon and Brittany?" I asked of the other medical professionals I'd hired to care for Noah. It wasn

"How were you able to record this, uncle Pete?" I was still in shock over what I'd heard Mia and Martha say in that record. How could Mia do this to her husband? Guilt wanted to grip tight when I remembered I'd also slept with Jared but then again, this wasn't a new thing between she and Jerome.Mia had been playing Jared and Jerome from highschool days. Unbelievable!"The morning I went to..." The ringing of his phone interrupted him. He took the phone from the table, a furrow appeared on his forehead. He looked up at me, surprised tinged with curiosity ladened his gaze. "What is it, uncle Pete? Who's calling?"He showed me the screen of his phone but the call ended before I could see the name. It started ringing immediately again, once again, he put the phone in my face. A brow quirked in surprise. "Speak of one of the devils." "She never calls by this time." He said. "Pick to know why." I urged. "Hello, Martha." He put the phone on loudspeaker so I could listen in too. "Pl

The room was in a pensive state, as though someone had died. I watched Martha take a deep breath and another sip of her alcohol.I was eager to know what happened twenty years ago, just as I knew uncle Pete was too."I received a call from an anonymous number one day, asking me to come see them. I couldn't recognize the voice. I ended the call and went back to taking care of Jared who was sick at the time." She paused and took another swig of her glass. "The number called again and threatened my husband's life if I didn't obey. By this time, you and Percy had traveled for a business trip." She directed to uncle Pete."I tried to call his words bluff and ignore. I had no idea how he knew but he explained where I lived and how he could drive in and take my sons away, I became scared. I dialed Percy's phone, it didn't connect, yours too. I was about to call the police when the call came in again and told me not to involve the police. I got really scared. It was night, I was alone with

"You knew this and you didn't say anything?! Fuck!" Uncle Pete raged, boiling with justified anger. "I-I'm s-sorry. I didn't know. I-I...I thought he was trying to s-scare me." Martha cried pitifully, tears and snot mixing. "You obviously chose a woman like yourself for your son! You want her to ruin him the way you ruined my brother! Fuck you, Martha!" Uncle Pete's eyes were red as though he was fighting back tears. The sorrow and mourning in his eyes. He was remembering his twin brother, Jared's father.The whole issue was very complicated and family drama entangled in a very intricate pattern. But something was nagging at me. "If Jerome is not responsible for his father's death, why...how then did you guys believe he did it and why was he out of the picture for so long?" I directed to both of them, waiting for whoever to clear this up for me. "He used to hangout with Mia's younger brother. He was older than the boy but no one knew his reason for being with the boy except Jerom

JARED What was the stares for? My staff had been staring at me from the moment I stepped in through the glass door of my company. Now that I had stepped out of my private elevator, they were still looking at me. Why? Was it because of my new custom-made suit? I was accustomed to the lusty looks my female staff threw my way almost everyday. Even Sam Denory who was gay never failed to swallow me with his eyes. I usually ignored all of the stares but today was different. It was lusty nor appreciative, rather it was judgemental. Heads raised when I got close to my office, the looks were beginning to grate my nerves. Celine's work space was empty. "Why are you guys looking at me?" My tone had them lowering their heads back to focus on their respective jobs. "Where's Celine?" I asked. "She's in the bathroom, sir." Someone answered. "Tell her to come see me as soon as she's back." I instructed, then walked into my office, closing the door. I had a new business deal to sort thr

I was not listening. No, I could not listen. Everything was a blur, words flew over and at me, I heard voices but nothing was sticking in head. My brain cells were a scramble in that moment. Tears fell incessantly, my heart pounded so hard that I thought it would pull out from my chest. My knees buckled, every part of me trembled. I wanted to cry out, to rid myself of this shocking, brutal pain but I couldn't.Only tears fell. I saw the tall figure of someone hastening towards uncle Pete and me. Uncle Pete was still talking to the doctor.I was not interested in whatever she had to say. Nothing she could say that would stop this pain and fill my heart back with hope."What's going on, uncle Pete?" This person reached our side.I had no idea if he got his answer or not but he stooped to look at me. I turned my head to meet his gaze, to see his expression.My tears would not let me take a proper, clarifying look.His lips moved, he was saying something to me. But I was too far away t

Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns An Even Harder Task
"He's still not picking his phone. Why is he not picking his phone?!" I paced about the living, almost out of my wits. The television was on. I'd turned it on with the hope of hearing the President making his denouncement speech regarding Jared. The voices of random people talking on TV buzzed around the room, but I didn't pay attention.They weren't what I was interested in."Hey. Hey. Hey. Come here." Jared stopped my agitated pacing and drew me into his embrace. "Calm down, worrying yourself will not help.""That girl is counting on me to save her. I have to save her. Oh God! She gave me a clue, I have unraveled it and now, I have... I have to save her." My heart was beating faster than usual. Time was running out. Just few hours ago, the kidnapper had called just as I was leaving the room assigned to Denise until she recovered and reminded me, in no mirthful or light tone if I may add, about the deal. I had no idea why the President was doing this to his own daughter. Now, he w
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns A Hard Decision
BRONX"What are you still doing sitting there, Bronx?!" The sharp, trembling voice of my wife shook me out of my depressing thoughts. "Why aren't you on air yet?!"She was like a woman on a mission, storming into my small, private office without knocking. Not that any of my family members ever needed the permission to have access to me unless I was with very important guests or in a crucial political meeting. "What?" I almost knocked my glass of bourbon off the table in a slightly tipsy daze. "I said why are you not on air right now pulling Jared from the race and saving my daughter's life?!" She seethed, reaching my table and placing both hands on it. "Francesca where did you hear that?" I had to ask. I didn't tell anyone about my meeting with Peter, Hailey and Jared. "Don't reply me with questions, Bronx. Where is my daughter?! Why are you intent on making my poor girl suffer in the hands of those...those monsters?!" She cried, anger and despair clouding her big, blue puffy eyes
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Dear Husband-To-Be
MIA"Husband-to-be? What are...""Come here." His lips smiled, his tone calm but there was an underlying order coating those two words. "Now."Subtly clearing my throat, I took small steps towards him knowing my mom and his mom were watching. He grabbed me by my waist and lowered his head, I dodged his kiss. "What are you doing? Our moms are watching and I'm married to your brother. Stop this.""Exactly, baby. I want them to watch and know I'm the right brother for you. And henceforth, you're no longer married to my brother. I went into the room you used to share with him, I saw the divorce papers, he signed but you're yet to. You'll sign it." His tone gave the hint of a command.Our voices were hushed whispers so only us could hear. "No, I'll not. Stop this, Jerome.""Say you don't want me. Look into my eyes and say it, I'll leave you alone. Maybe." It was almost as if his eyes were taunting me knowing I couldn't.I licked my lips. "See, I want you. I love you but it's your brother
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns A Public Face-off, Surprise At Home
MIAI watched her come out of the mall, my car parked a distance from hers. My blood boiled and hatred flamed. She was the cause. It was all her fault and I was here to stop that nonsense. I stepped out of my vehicle, my sunglasses in place, I approached her, hurrying as she walked to her car with shopping bags in her hands. What was Jared's old secretary doing with her? Anyways, she was not my concern. "Hey you." I didn't bother to hide my disdain when I neared her.Removing her own sunglasses, she coolly assessed me. "Didn't expect to find you here, Mia. It's been awhile.""Where's my husband?" I got to the heat of the matter. A chuckle escaped her. "Does it look like I have him in my purse or in the back of my car?"A growl rumbled low. "You bitch! I see what you're trying to do here. You couldn't have him six years ago, now, you're playing every dirty game in your book to keep my husband from me.""Pick a side, Mia. Stop gallivanting like a helpless feline cub who can not dec
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Fight In The House Of Pillax
PRISCILLA "Leave me alone, you wife beater!" I struggled with him to let go of my shirt he'd held on to. I heard a rip and seethed. This was one of my very expensive shirts. "Not until you tell me where the stuff in my safe is." He seethed as well. "What safe? What stuff? Did you tell me of any safe in this house?""You and I are the only occupants of this house, Priscilla. Don't fucking lie to me! Your behavior recently have been rousing suspicions.""And yours haven't?" I shot back."Give me the things you took from that safe or I'll make you regret knowing me, Priscilla." He threatened."I already regret knowing you, Philip!" I retorted. "I regret ever walking down the aisle and tying the nuptial knot with you! You're meaner than a snake and more vicious than a bear!" I lashed out. "One would look at your calm exterior and be deceived, I know I was until you began to show you true, evil colors! The devil resides in you, Philip!" The back of his hand swiped across my cheek, har
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Denise Is Awake
"Well, that went well. I guess." I strapped in just as uncle Pete started the vehicle, driving out of the compound. "I guess so too." Jared stared from the rearview mirror, our eyes met. The drive back home was mostly silent. My mind were filled with thoughts of Nina, Celine and when Denise would become conscious and tell her side of the story.Feeling exhausted, I closed my eyes and worried more. "Hey." A soft voice sounded close yet far. "Hailey." The voice called again, a gentle, patient tap followed. My lips parted slightly open in an unconscious response when I felt a pair of lips mesh with mine. A small moan escaped me. All of this was a dream. The face I saw kissing me was Jared. I wound my arms round his neck to bring him closer to me. The kiss progressed more passionately and it became a delightful merging of mouths, tongues yearning to each other. "I love you, Hailey." That had my eyes fluttering open. I released a shocked gasp and unwound my arms, licking my lips.
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns His Reputation Or His Daughter
"What the hell is she saying, Peter?" The President who was currently pacing his office, looking sleep-deprived and angry, faced uncle Pete."Calm down and listen to what she has to say. There's sense in it." Uncle Pete was trying to calm him. "What sense is in there, Peter?! She's asking me to make a fool of myself out there!" He looked like he was about to pummel someone. "If denouncing your support for Jared and pulling him out of the race is what makes you a fool, then be a fool to save your daughter!" I retorted, getting worked up by his own anger. I was trying to save his daughter's life but he was proving stubborn all for some keeping a clean record and an unblemished career. "It's your fault she's kidnapped! I told you this was a dangerous game but you thought blackmailing me with a secret daughter from my past will solve everything. Now look at where it has landed me! Damn it! I can not believe I let myself be toyed by you! A woman!" He all but spat at me. I leaned closer

"What?" They chorused in puzzlement. "She did a play on words there. I can't feel my lip. I need a pill to help me relax. Get it? Feel-lip Pill-ax." "Oh, good gracious! That girl's smart as hell." Uncle Pete said. "Exactly!" I concurred excitedly."And Hailey is just brilliant enough to figure it out." Pride shone in Jared's eyes. Jared and uncle Pete looked impressed. "I do my best." I cleared my throat, carelessly ignoring the fluttering in my stomach. "Philip Pillax is behind this?" Uncle Pete looked from me to Jared. "I'd always known that guy to be shady and dangerous. But he must have some guts kidnapping the President's daughter.""And some help." I put in. The men looked at me. "The President's aide, a creepy guy named Rashford. I suspect he's the one giving information out to Philip from the White House.""How do you know this?" This was from Jared. "I noticed how he was lingering at the door the day I went to visit the President. Plus, I talked to Nina who confirmed he

"How's she, doctor?" I wiped the remaining tears from my eyes. Now was not the time for tears.I'd heard uncle Pete's conversation with Catherine and had bring both angry and sad hearing her confess to Derek having a hand in my father's death.It was all part of the plan though. Jared and I had stayed hidden to take pictures and videos of her.I should have him and Denise locked up but not yet. Something told me that was not the whole story and I would want to know it before having the police take over. "The bleeding has stopped, her system is stabilized but she's still weak and sleeping." The doctor said. "I'll be back to check up on her.""Thank you, doctor." I shook hands with him and he left.I couldn't wait to hear Denise's story on how she had ended up on the side of the road, almost bleeding to death until I and Jared drove past.Jared came in just then, uncle Pete and his lover, Miss Nancy, as well.Zion rubbed his eyes, he was feeling sleepy. But he smiled when he finally s
