The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 38: Abort mission
The bullet made a loud, sharp ear-splitting report, deafening everyone. No one knew where the shooting came from, but a sharp pain against Arthur's leg, made him realise that he'd been shot. “Whattttt?” His eyes widened in shock as he fell to the bare marble falls, the pain in his leg intensifying. Sam gasped and wondered where the gunshot had come from. “Where is it?” He mumbled, grabbing his coat which in it, was a pistol, his eyes scanning the dark room. “You don't have to worry yourself, Arthur,” Freedman's voice echoed across the silent room. “I wouldn't do that if I were you, Mr detective,” he added. Arthur grunt, gritting his teeth, refusing to lose, he got up despite the pain in his leg. He pulled out his gun and directed his aim towards Freedman, who looked like he was enjoying every single moment. The air was thick and filled with tension as the two enemies locked eyes. Freedman's smirk was very evident and he chuckled. “You remind me of your father, too bad he is late.
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 39: “Where should we search now?”
Khloe Ferguson was still thinking about the letter and was wondering who had sent it to her. “Who's M? And why did he send me such a letter? Not that it's bad or anything, I'm just curious,” she thought out loud. The letter still in her hand, she tried as much as possible to think of anyone with that name, but it didn't seem to ring a bell. To distract herself from the mystery of the letter, she decided to focus on her work, which Rachel had piled in front of her.“This is going to be a long day,” she whispered. Sitting behind the desk, she began going through the papers one after the other. She could have used her computer but the computer could actually do less compared to what she could possibly do. But all this while, her mind kept wandering back to the letter and M.“Who is M, and why had he written me such a cryptic message?Why's he choosing to be hideous?” Khloe thought to herself.The same thought kept reeling in her head. She wondered if it was a prank, or if someone was tr
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 40: “What's Emily doing here?”
“We'll get through all this and find him wherever he may be and for that, I promise,” Khloe recalled the last statement she told Anastasia with determination. But now, as she stared at the ceiling, she felt a sense of doubt creeping in. She thought about Anastasia and her missing cousin the whole time as she laid on her bed. The letter, which she had promised herself not to think of, was right there on a small table beside her bed. She laid into her bed and held the note in her hands. “Who's M? And why did you have to write this letter? Is this a prank, or something more sinister?” She thought to herself, as her thoughts swirled, refusing to let her sleep. She groaned, rolling herself over the bed, with the letter burning a hike into her mind. Finally, Khloe threw off her covers and got out of the bed, determined to shake off the feeling of helplessness. “I've already given her my word, I must do something about it real quick,” she thought out loud, while pacing back and fort
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 41: The search
Arthur Cassius finally got released from the hospital and was asked to rest well and take good care of himself. This was a week after his legs had been shot. He went back to his mansion in Washington. He sat into his favourite armchair, wincing slightly as he adjusted his bandaged legs. Sam sat across him, as he has always been there for him even though he was fired. Arthur seemed too stubborn to accept that he actually needed all the help that he could get so Sam too, decided to be stubborn and stay around. “Are you feeling better, sir?” Sam asked concerned. “Yeah, I am,” he replied simply. “Why are you still here?” Arthur asked. “I couldn't just leave you in this state, plus I'm the only one who knows how to go about the situation, so you definitely need me,” he stated firmly. Arthur's brows arched as he stared at Sam. "You really want to be by my side?” He asked curiously. Sam shrugged and nodded with a yes. “Are you into men?” Arthur asked out of the blue, letting his curi
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 42: At the hotel
The next morning Khloe and Anastasia set out to Maryland, in hopes of finding Xander. “Are you set?” Khloe asked Anastasia as she buckled her seatbelt. “Yeah, ” Anastasia replied, getting into the car. “What about your family and company. Is anyone going to watch over your company?’ Anastasia asked, concerned, as she laced her voice. “My assistant is going to watch over it closely and I've also informed my family about my whereabouts so you don't need to worry about all that,” Khloe said. “I still don't believe you'd be the one helping me after our friendship rollercoaster ” Anastasia said feeling guilty of the things she'd done to Khloe in the past. “Well, we're over it now. What was so important about twelve years ago that you'd want to bring it up now? You're my friend now, Anastasia and even if we disagree in almost everything, I still treat you as my younger sister,” Khloe said in a low soft voice. “Wait…younger sister? I am two weeks older than you,” as she was about to
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 43: Give me the key
Arthur Cassius woke up as though he had been startled from his sleep, wondering if someone was talking about him. “Is someone talking about me?” he asked, rubbing his ear absent-mindedly. He rolled out of the bed and hit the showers. And after he was done with his morning preparations, he called Sam. “So, you got any location on where he might actually be this time?” He asked over the phone. He didn't want to come out because then people would probably recognize him, and also, because he had seen Brandon the previous night. “He might have recognized me so it's better to stay put till he goes away,” he said internally. “We have nothing for now. The device looks a little distorted but we're fixing it and I will get back to you soon,” Sam said. “Alright. Don't take so long, I'll be waiting,” he said, hanging up the phone. He laid on his bed waiting for room service to bring him in his food. Finally the doorbell rang and he got up to check the door. “I brought your food sir, as yo
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 44: Back to Washington
Tension continued to build as the two ladies stared daggers into each other's eyes. Hannah's hands stretched out to grab Khloe while Khloe didn't bulge at all. “I'm telling you for the last time. Don't fucking touch me with those filthy hands of yours. I'm not handing you those keys,” Khloe replied, more infuriated than ever before. “So, you do have the keys. You have finally admitted. Very well then,” Hannah said, returning her hands to herself. “I have been kind to you and politely asked you to give them to me, but you've refused. Just prepare for the consequences,” Hannah said, turning to leave. “Whatever you say doesn't bother or even move me at all. I'll take those keys to my grave, not you nor Ethan will get that key,” she yelled after Hannah. But got ignored as Hannah entered her vehicle and drove off. “God, that woman is annoying. I just do not understand what she wants to do with the safe….such an ungrateful gold digger. What's wrong with these women? Even Emily is after
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 45: “Sylvester, what's he doing in my home?”
Khloe Ferguson returned back to her work after a day of rest. The work was usual and nothing had happened recently. She decided to keep her thoughts aside, thoughts of the letter, Hannah's threat, and Emily's plotting. She went all in for her business and wanted to see it flourish more than ever before. She stepped into her office, determined to leave the drama and threats behind. With a deep breath, ready to focus on her work and push her business to new heights. The familiar routine of meetings, emails, and strategy sessions provided a welcome distraction from the turmoil in her personal life. “Alright. I need to set new goals for this company. It's not going down on my watch ” she spoke determinedly. As she delved into her work and tasks, her entrepreneurial spirit took over. She was determined to succeed, to prove to, not only herself but to others that she was more than capable of overcoming any obstacle, her haters and those who had eyes for the company. The fire in her be

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
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 106: Busted
“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
