The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 25: “Ethan,” Khloe muttered.
After the text messages from Arthur the previous night, Khloe Ferguson couldn't help but keep thinking about it over and over again. His text messages brighten her day, and she prayed it would continue. Her mind kept replaying it like a movie at the shower, even over breakfast. “What's making you smile all of a sudden?” Kelly, her elder sister asked. They both sat at the dining table where food was served. “Nothing. I just had a nice dream,” Khloe tried brushing off the question. “Are you sure? Because it looks like your face is going to burst from overheating,” she said, gesturing Khloe's swollen cheeks. “My face? What do you mean by that?” Khloe said, touching her face. She had blushed so hard that her face turned red. “It's just a mere… uh…” Khloe tried coming up with an excuse but failed and Kelly saw through the lie. “Cat caught your tongue, huh? Just don't. You suck at lying. I know you're seeing someone, don't let him break your heart like that son of a bit**h did to me,

“Ethan?” Khloe whispered as she saw her ex-husband staring down at her, a stupid grin on his face which her hands etched to slap. “Khloe? It's good to see you,” Ethan retorted, smiling from ear to ear. She feigned a fake smile to herself, “I am also happy to see you,” which was obviously a lie. She hates his guts and for talking to her. “What are you doing here? Such a fancy place like this?” he said, holding onto a shopping bag. Khloe knew he was faking it, and she knows exactly how to go along with the flow. “I'm here for the same reason you're here,” she stated firmly. “Ah, I see…” he was saying when someone called him from behind. “Babe? Who are you talking to?” a familiar voice said beside him, turns out to be Katrina, that witch. “Oh, look who we have here,” Katrina said from behind, mockingly. Khloe knew for the fact, she was one of the persons that caused the end of her marriage, not that she was happy with the marriage. “What brings you here?” Katrina asked. “That qu
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 27: “So, it really wasn't real”
Arthur Cassius didn't plan to kiss her on the lips, it was just an impulse to see her reaction, which she responded to. He loved her every reaction, the way she answers to his calls, the way she acts tough but secretly a baby. He took mental note of everything about her. He stood beside her car waiting for her while thinking. His mind was junked with the image of Khloe. Arthur and Kelly initially went to the mall because Kelly suggested they go shopping like last time before she goes back to her family, to which Arthur agrees. But he knows Kelly well, she was a spoiled brat that would literally do anything to get whatever she wants. * “Sir, we have a location but it is at a very far district of the town and its surrounded by heavy security,” Sam said over the phone. “Get close and see what you can find. I need to be gone as soon as possible,” Arthur commanded before switching off the phone. He sighed waiting for Khloe to come out of the restaurant. “I'll be leaving now,” she a
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 28: The rejection
Arthur Cassius' lips were still heavy on hers, both lost in the act, forgetting the world around them, like it had disappeared. Suddenly, Arthur pulled out, out of breath still looking at Khloe, who had a shock expression laced on her face. Arthur stepped backwards, his eyes still on her as he realised what he had done; forcefully kissing someone out of their will. “I…I'm…sorry” he stammered, looking down, he went back to the driver seat. Khloe on the other had lots of butterflies in her belly. Like she'd always wanted this. “It's finally time to get close to him,” she thought to herself happily. The atmosphere was tense and awkwardness lingered, like a thick fog that refused to lift. Arthur was so deep in thoughts that he almost crashed into a car. He knew what he did was uncalled for, so he apologised. “I'm terribly sorry ma'am. If you want me to resign. I'll happily do so. I don't know what I was thinking. I….I'm not going to make any excuses but, I promise it won't happen again
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 29: The accident
The next morning, Khloe Ferguson woke up to an arching head, a dry throat and swollen eyes with eyebags under them. She had cried herself to sleep after the brutal rejection from Arthur. She shrugged off the feeling for the sake of her father's company and got ready for work. She hobbled out of the mansion, her eyes hidden behind her glasses. Though her eyes are still puffy from cries. “Khloe?” Kelly called her and she stopped. “Are you fine? Why are you wearing shades, it's winter season,” Kelly pointed out. “I just felt like wearing them. It adds to my aesthetic,” Khloe lied, flashing her older sister a smile. “If you say so. About yesterday….” Kelly had started but Khloe interrupted her by placing her hands on her shoulders. “Don't worry about that. I was so tired that I slept early,” Khloe lied even more and fortunately Kelly believed her. “I'll be leaving now. Duty calls!” Khloe said walking to the parking lot. Her heart slammed in her chest as she realized she'll be wit
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 30: Who was he?
Khloe's car swerved swiftly before crashing into the oncoming car, which had blinded her with full lights, and before she could process all what had happened, she slowly started losing consciousness. “Is this how I am going to die? With a broken heart. I won't see him again, I won't be able to comfort my sister anymore…” she said as her eyes became blurry and she started coughing out blood… In no time, people were around the scene of the accident. Sirens then wailed and the people muttering kept her awake. She felt a liquid warm substance pouring from her head and realised that it's blood. She tried moving her body, even when she knew the excruciating pain that followed would be unbearable but her body fell reluctantly. Her eyes started closing slowly and suddenly a silhouette appeared in front of her. The figure was calling out her name but it was barely audible. With her last strength, she muttered. “Mark?” her eyes slowly closed and she finally passed out. The silhouette figure
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 31: “Why are you back again?”
For the next week, Khloe's recovery began to improve. She got discharged from the hospital and soon went home. Her legs were still bandaged and she had to use clutches to support herself, but as time went by, she stopped and started working on getting on her two feet again. Colleagues, friends and family supported her throughout her recovery and there was no sign of Arthur. She began working again and soon employed someone to replace Arthur. And although she misses him, she always chides herself for thinking about him. Khloe Ferguson sat behind her mahogany desk, legs crossed as she read the letters that were sent to her. This letter was a well wishing one, but one later caught her eyes. It has no name and it was very different from the ones sent to her. “Ma’am, the person just gave it to me and said I should give it to you.” Her personal assistant said. “And you didn't care to ask what was in it,” Khloe asked, still analysing the strange note. “No, ma’am. I caught the person sl
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 32: "What's taking you so long?"
“It really hurts me to let her go, I had to do it for my family's sake, to avenge their death. That was why I came here, to seek revenge after the culprit had fled and I don't want to take any chances. I really don't want to slip even one bit. I know my feelings for her are so strong, but feelings don't always matter, right? Love comes and goes, right? Maybe it's not meant to be. Or let me say right person, wrong timing…..aaaarrgghh!!! I've been searching for Scott Freedman for months now, and I have a lead. I can't let him escape, not this time,” Arthur was in deep thoughts as he stepped out of the company's building. As he walked away from the Ferguson's company, his heart felt heavy with the weights of his secrets. “She thinks I'm a liar, traitor and a manipulator, that abandoned her at the point of her needs, just like how everyone else left her. I wish I could clear those thoughts from her and get the weight off my shoulders… sadly I can't, not now, there's so much left to

The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 111: The happy ending
Khloe decided to stay behind and work on reviving the late Williams Foster's companies. She employed private investigators who spotted the wrong that was affecting the company's growth. It seems Katrina had been on a quest to take money out of the company which was always deposited to her mother's bank account. Upon revelation of such information, Katrina and her mother, Rose were sent to jail to serve a lifetime sentence. Khloe reestablished everything right from hiring new and skilled staff, getting new furniture for the company and increasing the advertising of all the company's products. This brought joy and happiness to all the Fosters’ companies, thus increased growth of 15% in one month. Ethan on the other hand became messed up as a result of drinking alcohol all day and night. He became useless and couldn't even handle the only company he had so he was sent to a rehabilitation centre. After two months, Lucas decided to travel to Maryland to meet his only daughter because she
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 110: Apologies accepted
The next morning, Kelly woke up and walked to the next room to check on Khloe but to her surprise, she wasn't in the room. She proceeded downstairs only to find Khloe holding a travel bag. “I'm so sorry I didn't wake you up to tell you anything but I have to leave,” Khloe said. “It's okay but uhh…where are you going?” “I can't tell you that but be rest assured that I'm going to be fine. I have to do this alone,” Khloe said. Kelly looked at Khloe in deep confusion but she knew she wouldn't be able to stop her because determination was written all over her face. “Okay then Khloe but at least take my car,” Khloe suggested. “I don't think that'll be a great idea. How will you get it?” “What do you mean?” Kelly asked. “I'm leaving the country,” Khloe uttered. “Whattt??? Okay just take the car and leave the car keys with an officer. I'll get a can and pick it up once I'm done washing up.” Khloe hurriedly got the car keys and drove out of Kelly's home. “Hello Arthur. Khloe just l

“Ethan, what are you doing there? Where is Khloe?” Arthur asked.“Uh..umm…uhhh,” Ethan muttered.“Don't overthink it. It was a direct question. Where is she?” Arthur asked again, his voice raised above normal. “She…uhh, she went that way,” Ethan responded, his voice shaky.Arthur looked at the path and started running heading for the direction Ethan had pointed. Kelly ran right behind him as she shouted for him to slow down.“Wait Arthur, let's take my car. That way, we will get to her fast,” Kelly suggested.They both got into the car and drove away as they stared sideways in case of anything. Arthur let down the car window, took out his head and started calling out Khloe's name but all in vain.“I think I saw movement. Wait….it's Khloe,” Kelly uttered.Arthur immediately got out of the car before it could even stop. He panted as he finally caught up with her and slowly touched her arm.“Khloe, please wait. Please hear me out,” Arthur said in a gentle tone.“I don't know what to thi

“Wait up, Khloe,” Ethan called out.“I don't want to deal with you Ethan. What do you want now?” Khloe asked in a rather unpleasant tone.“I know I didn't treat you well but I'm now reformed. My eyes are open now. Hannah is not even my mother and I don't love Katrina anymore,” Ethan blabbered. “Why are you telling me all this and what makes you think I want to hear any of it? You really want to take advantage of the situation and take me back but that won't happen, not even in your wildest dreams,” Khloe yelled as she trolled through the woods.“Okay…okay, I understand. At least let me drive you home. You can't wander off on the streets at this time. It's not safe because we don't know if everyone that wants to harm you is out of the way.”“Okay fine but you mean nothing to me at all and….” She was still talking when a female figure appeared along the path they were taking.“You dirty pathetic thief, where is the key? You have to give it back,” Hannah said firmly, holding tight fists
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 107: Revelation
Kelly had just arrived at the mansion when she saw a convoy leave the premises followed by Arthur. They were all driving at full speed so this made Kelly turn around and follow them.“I wonder what Arthur is up to. He has been planning his schemes alone but today, I must find out,” she said, as she rushed to catch up with them.She followed closely as they drove into a seemingly quiet and isolated area. She was getting scared but it wasn't the time for her to back out because she had already come this far. Her mind raced with uncertainty and worry for what was ahead but she kept her eyes on the road, dimmed her car lights and created some distance so that she's not noticed. She could only trail along the back lights of the vehicle that was immediately in front of her. Kelly noticed that the vehicles she was following were starting to park so she looked for a spot to squeeze her relatively small car. She got out with the only light being the flashlight on her phone to follow Arthur and

“I am surely putting an end to that girl tonight and she won't even see it coming,” Hannah Foster said, firmly. “Yes mother…we are already waiting outside the residence where the two reside. She's not getting away this time and I'll make sure of that,” Marcus assured her on the other side of the call. “The warehouse at the South East of the farm is ready and that's where you'll bring that pathetic girl. My men are already positioned and there's no way she'll get out of this alive,” Hannah responded. Meanwhile Ethan had stopped by his mother's room to greet her when he heard muffled voices and couldn't believe what his mother had just said. He was so close to her that he had never imagined that she'd actually plot to have someone killed so he leaned forward to eavesdrop. “Finally we can get what's rightfully ours and also get rid of this bustard, Ethan,” she added. “Now is even the right time to tell this idiot that I'm not his real mother. I have had to deal with his idiocy for
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 105: Love in the air
Two years later, Arthur and Khloe's bond grew stronger by the day as their relationship blossomed into something beautiful, full of love, care and compassion. This was exactly what Khloe had always longed for and at this point, she hopes for nothing but longevity, sustainment and forever unending love. It was going on well between the couple but Arthur hadn't really had the time to tell Khloe the whole truth. He felt like keeping everything away from her was the best decision and that she had suffered way too much to take in all the nonsense that he had to say. At least that's what he called it…NONSENSE. Khloe and Arthur often had date nights both at the mansion and outdoors but at very specific spots. They valued their privacy a lot and they wanted to love themselves the best way they know how to. It was really beautiful because being in love really looked so good on Khloe. All this was happening and they had no idea of the evil plans that were being schemed. The Elliots and the Fo
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 104: Confidential
Love was in the air as the two love birds couldn't let each other go for a single minute. They sat on the couch as they caressed each other giggling like no one else was in the room. It's like they had spent years without seeing one another but well, what can we say…Love is indeed blind.Kelly however hadn't stopped thinking about what Arthur was talking about earlier. She was really concerned so much yet it wasn't her business and let alone she wasn't in position to get concerned at all.“It's getting late, I should get going,” Kelly said, as she bid farewell.Everyone said bye to her and they continued to talk till very late. “Sam, I think you'll have to sleep in the guest house tonight. You can't leave this late yet there's a lot of room in the house. You'll crash here tonight,” Arthur said to Sam.*“Mother, how are you feeling now?” Clark asked.“I am feeling better now, I want to go home. Call the doctor,” Hannah answered.“Mother, I don't think you're in position to go home no
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 103: Emotions
Clark shoke his mother so hard while he cried heavily as he saw her shut her eyes. Hannah then groans a little as she tries to move her hand but the effort is so weak. Clark tried to keep her awake by calling out her name but it was evident that he was so confused and scared. He panicked so much as tried to soothe his mother. The sounds of sirens grew louder as the paramedics approached the Foster residence. They barged into the house and carried Hannah onto a stretcher making their way to the ambulance. Clark followed closely as he held his mother's hand and asked her to hang in there. He got into the ambulance with her and they headed to the hospital. *“Take that corridor and head to the right at the end of it. You'll see cell 249 and that's where you'll see him,” the officer at the front desk said to the two ladies.Khloe rushed through the corridor as Kelly followed right behind her.She got to the end of the corridor and the moment she turned, Arthur's eyes met with hers.She
