"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
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns Hailey Must Not Know
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
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns The Tables Have Turned
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!
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns The Meet-Up
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
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns The Past Still Hurts
"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
Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns His Plan
PETER"I never knew you'd want to see me again." The man I'd been waiting for finally made an appearance after sitting idly and nursing a bottle of beer in this local bar far away from the upscale life and activities."It's been a long time, Derek." Derek Kellers.The man I used to know but never associated with. Even in highschool, he'd always been a truant and a rebellious person. With his love for trouble and everything illegal, I stayed away. Percy, my late twin brother, had been the one he was close to. "Yes. Imagine my surprise when the Almighty CEO of Astra-Z called. Never even knew you had my number." He removed his sunglasses and placed them on the table."I didn't." I told him."How did you get my number then?"Without permission, he grabbed my bottle and downed its contents. "Poor beer sat there looking eager to be chugged."He belched and sniffed. His hair was held in a loose ponytail and an eyebrow ring glinted.I wasn't happy sitting down with him. His presence could

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

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,

DENISE"Finally! I thought you'd never return." I stood to welcome the man who had been the only family I'd known all my life. Mom had died young leaving me in the care of my stepfather, who was then her boyfriend. Yeah, they never got a chance to tie the knot before she died, so had my stepdad explained.I owed the man a lot especially when he'd gone through the stress of helping me find my root and discovering I was the biological daughter of a rich man.A dead rich man.He hugged me. "Yeah, I had some business to attend to. It took more time than I'd expected." He explained.He'd been gone for days. "I'm glad you're home now." I told him. He studied my face. "How did your meeting with Hailey go?"He had not been able to reach out to ask. The day I'd gone to see Hailey was the same day he'd left for his business. He dealt in a lot of illegal stuff but I didn't care and was ready to support him with whatever he wanted. He hardly made calls whenever he was on his business trip so

It propelled us until I was naked and he was shirtless, only then did it occur to me...I pushed him away. "No! Not again. Never again."Ashamed of myself, how quick I was to melt into his arms at a mere kiss, I grabbed my sheets and covered my body. "Go away.""I swear I'm not leaving, Hailey.""What is wrong with you?! It's not like you want me! You want my children!""It was my mother's plan." The bulge in his pants was too obvious. Too distracting but I forced my eyes away and planted them on his face. "You think I'm stupid? You think I'm still...""Listen to me for once, Hailey. Please." He sounded exasperated and maybe there was a hint of desperation."I do not want to listen to any more of your...""Shut up, damnit!" He yelled.I jolted in shock, not expecting that deep, angry voice to be raised at me. I kept mute but fumed silently. He heaved a sigh, rubbing his face. "I'm sorry for raising my voice, I just want you to listen to me."I calmed but didn't relax. My mouth was p

My jaw tightened and teeth clenched when I walked in to find Jared trying to engage Zion who was sparingly giving him his attention. He was focusing all his attention on uncle Pete, wanting them to play together.Though Jared didn't seem mad or impatient, he stopped when he spotted me.I averted my gaze from his, focusing on uncle Pete. "What is he doing here?"But he ignored me, focusing on his interaction with Zion. "Son, let's go get you some ice cream. Are you in the mood for one?" "Yes. And new toys." Zion said, already harboring that excited gleam in his eyes. "Let's buy for Zaya too. She might wake up anytime and ask for hers. I don't want her fighting me for mine."I gaped at uncle Pete. We had never told him Zaya's condition. He only knew she was still in the hospital but not how she was. So how did he know?Uncle Pete understood my expression. "I told him." He clarified."Why? He's just a child." My voice was low and calm. Zion, like his sister, was smart and could detect

"Hello, Kazim." I answered the phone."Mommy, who's that? Is that daddy? Is he coming home? What is he saying? Can I talk to him?" Zion threw questions at me, temporarily abandoning his his soldier figure that was about to war with his batman figure."No, it's not daddy, honey." I pulled the phone away from my ear to whisper to him. I pressed the intercom on the wall of the playpen."Where are you, Kazim? Any update?" I continued with my call."Yes, ma'am. I'll text you the location and you'll come meet us." He said.I pulled the phone away from my ear for the second time when the door opened to reveal the person I'd summoned through the intercom."Yes, ma'am?" The young lady who was in her thirties stood before me.She was my son's new live-in nanny. I didn't want to have any because I didn't trust anyone but uncle Pete talked me into it plus I knew he was right.This election was drawing near, he neede
