The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Chapter 229
Hailey didn't know what he was thinking, however, his expression changed at the knowledge that Sharon was upstairs. She could even see a slight anger flash past his eyes. The maid bowed and left. Kendrick didn't start eating until a few seconds later. He seemed to be spacing out. Or maybe even thinking why Sharon didn't come down. Hailey rolled her eyes and made loud noises with her spoon. That did the trick to drag his attention. He gave her a fleeting glance before lowering his head to eat. But his attention wasn't on her. He didn't even make any comment when she picked at her food. He was probably thinking about Sharon. And Hailey found herself glancing at him more than focusing on her food. He was too silent. She didn't like it. The only time he looked at her was when she accidentally choked on her food and he poured her a glass of water. "Be careful, Hailey," He said in a soft tone. His eyes shone with worry and he gave her a slight pat on the head before he continued eating.

*****It had been three days now since Hailey started searching for her ring. Even with the servants' help, the search turned out futile. The ring seemed to have disappeared in thin air. Kendrick had offered again to get her a new one. But how would that make any difference that she'd lost the wedding ring?It was disappointing to realize that she'd never find it again. Maybe she shouldn't have tossed it in a random box. Only God knew if she'd even done that. Maybe she'd toss it on the floor in her fit of anger. She should have hidden it carefully. She should have been sensible and thought first of giving it back to its owner. That way, she wouldn't have thrown it away.But at that time she'd hated its owner more than anything else. She didn't want to have anything to do with the ring or Kendrick. She blew out a breath and strolled aimlessly in the yard. She wasn't even planning to go near the garden. She just needed a substantial amount of fresh air to clear her thoughts. Not majo

But why wouldn't she open the door for the maids? Was she even in the house? Was Kendrick sure if she wasn't around? Or did he know she was around? The maids' whispers continued. Their attentions were still on watering the plants. They discussed how the Butler had gone up countless times to inquire about what was wrong with her. They'd also spoken about how they would stand in front of her door for a long time, knocking. But she wouldn't open the door. Then one of the maids said, "She wouldn't open the door for anyone. Even Master. He would knock and speak her name, she wouldn't open still." "She does open for Master sometimes," another maid countered. "When I went to clean that area, I've seen her open the door for Master." Hailey covered her mouth and stifled her gasp. Her thoughts. No— her instincts were right. Kendrick had really been visiting Sharon's room. And what the hell was wrong with that girl? What did she have going on with Kendrick? It wasn't an assumption anymore if

Hailey didn't want to appear desperate so she kept her voice calm. From the looks of it, Kendrick had sent the Butler on an errand. Whatever that box was, it must be from the study room. In that case, the Butler would definitely have an update on why he wasn't home yet. Upon seeing Hailey trying to sneak a peek at the box, the Butler hid it further. "Hehe, Madam, you're overthinking." Then he took one cautious glance back his shoulder. "Master wouldn't want you to stay up late. How about you go to your room? I'm afraid your milk will get cold."And with that said, the man sprinted past her, leaving Hailey dumbfounded. His speed also astounded her.What was happening? She stared at his retreating figure with parted lips. There was no doubt, the Butler was hiding something. Was it related to Kendrick? He didn't answer her question but instead, told her to get some sleep. And what was he hiding in that box?Wait.Then a scary thought crossed her mind. Was Kendrick sick? He shouldn't

She found him staring at her, and his expression was indescribable.Hailey tried to remain as calm as she could. Was it even her business to ask what was going on? She was still bewildered at Sharon's words and behavior. And the fact that Kendrick was staring at her like this, she didn't want to appear as if she cared.She had never seen Kendrick look speechless. Right now, he looked as if he had lost his tongue. And the silence was killing her. Agitated, she turned back and intended to hurry to the bedroom. His voice stopped her that instant and he caught up to her. "Hailey." Kendrick blocked her path and stared down at her."You're supposed to be asleep.""And you're supposed to be in your office?" Hailey raised a brow. Was that what he needed to tell her now? Didn't it matter to him that she needed an explanation?Gosh! What was she thinking? However, it wasn't even a question if he had been home all along and made the Butler lie to her. How could he stay late at work? That w

Hailey had first thought that he would caress her bump the way he usually did. But she tensed when his movement got bolder."W–What are you doing?" Out of nervousness, Hailey slapped off his hand and adjusted her sleeping position. Right now, her heartbeat was a mess. "G–Go to sleep, Kendrick." She gave a dry cough and murmured. "I– I am sleepy."Even her voice failed her. But the only thing she was afraid of was him hearing her heartbeat. Kendrick's hand immediately halted, it was hanging mid-air. Then he sighed heavily and seconds later, he went back to his previous position, giving Hailey space to move freely. Hailey had a hard time falling asleep after that. She was also sure Kendrick wasn't asleep either. Things were changing fast it terrified her. And the more Kendrick got bolder nowadays, the more frantic she felt. ***When morning came, Kendrick had already left for work. Hailey was baffled at that but not for long. She also got prepared and ready to set out for the diner.

If Hailey wasn't used to Kara going erratic like this before her birthday, she would have laughed at why she was this anxious about a birthday celebration. But she knew well the reason why Kara always acted like this. It was something even she wouldn't ever dream of handling."How about this? After some hours, let's call it a day. We'll go shopping together and I'll help you choose the best decorations.""You're joking!" Kara's eyes lit up as she said that. "Of course, not." Hailey smiled at her. She would be more than willing to accompany Kara. It had also been long since she went shopping. She couldn't wait to—"Will your husband allow that?" Kara knitted her brows. And Hailey's face fell hearing that.She had almost forgotten about Kendrick and his stupid security. Would he let her go shopping? Her heart sank at the thought of that. It wasn't even a question. But seeing her friend's pitiful state, Hailey didn't have the heart to dampen her hopes."It's okay, Hailey. You don't

But Hailey couldn't recount everything even if she wanted to. She couldn't recount how it was on this kind of occasion that she bumped into Kara. "So, you see," she said carefully. "I need to be there for her. I've always been, I don't want this year to be an exception."Only Hailey could handle Kara's roller coaster of emotions on this kind of day and she couldn't even imagine not being there for her. And she prayed so much that Kendrick would not turn her down. "I promise I won't run into any trouble... We'll only go shopping and then proceed to Kara's apartment. I'll have Rick drive us carefully and—""That's fine." His voice made her stop and Hailey frowned. This was too sudden."You mean I can go?" She voiced out her confusion."Mm." Kendrick made a sound of consent. "Be careful." Hailey's heart fluttered and her lips tugged at the corners. This was too easy. Had she been worried for nothing all along? She never expected him to agree so fast. "Ehm, Kendrick..." She called h

Sharelene stood in a corner, watching everything unfold. The family was in a frenzy. She could only see fear in their eyes and hear the fright in their voices.As the staff wheeled Hailey out of the emergency room, a deafening silence fell upon the hallway. And Ken...He hadn't been himself since they came here. He hadn't been himself since a few days back when he learned Hailey was kidnapped. Neither would he speak to anyone, nor listen to those that tried to talk reason into him and advise him to take it rationally. Since a few days back, he was the complete opposite of the man she had met many years ago and had a second chance of getting close to again. The man that would always keep calm no matter the circumstances...He was nowhere to be found. Ken was completely different from that man she knew. In her mind, she'd almost gotten what she wanted... Or more specifically, what her family wanted. But now, staring down at the ring on her finger, it was as if the engagement neve
The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Epilogue
```````And every day, Kendrick lived in guilt. For the next several months, every minute of his life was consumed by guilt. It took him weeks to gain her mother's favor, and even months to regain her grandfather's. He would come back every day, hoping that her eyes would at least flutter. Her bump kept increasing at an alarming rate. His every day was filled with fear and trepidation. And one day, her eyes did flutter. He was supposed to feel joy, but not at a chance that more trouble loomed ahead. Her pregnancy was due and not a week after that, the babies arrived. His real fear resurfaced at that moment. The fear that they would never be able to hold their bundles of joy together. The fear that he would never get the chance to tell her that he loved her. However, she proved the doctors wrong, chasing away his fears. Now, staring down at the babies, her utmost gifts to him, Kendrick had never felt so much contented in his life. He'd never been able to wipe off his smile sin

***Kendrick paced in front of the Emergency Room. His heart was in his stomach and his hand never left his hair. It was as if she'd been inside there for hours now despite being wheeled in just now.No amount of self-reassurance could calm him. No one attempted to offer him reassuring words even. They've all been in the same dilemma.Her mother wouldn't stop crying and he couldn't find the heart to offer her those words he'd yearned so much to hear. Hadn't it all been his fault? Hailey was pregnant. How was that possible? When they arrived here, it was the first thing the nurses said after taking her vitals. But Kendrick still found it hard to digest.And the fact that the child would definitely turn out to be his only made him more confused. It made him angrier with himself. "Ken, what is going on here?" Rushed footsteps sounded in the hallway and he glanced sideways to find his parents as well as Sharelene. "What are you doing in this place? Is someone wounded?" Asked his f

~~~'Hailey.'Kendrick's hands trembled and his grip on the gun threatened to loosen. Staring up at the balcony where she was being held captive, he fought not to let the rage take over. The rage that became multifold the moment he sighted them dragging her here. Her body was limped. She looked worse than how she'd looked in the video. And an almost similar-looking lady, whose face was cascaded with tears, was being held at gunpoint beside her. Was that her mother? "Don't worry, Mr. Reid." Standing with them were the three shareholders. "She isn't dead yet. But she'll soon be, if you don't follow our commands."Mr. Weimar and the rest. Kendrick's assumption hadn't been wrong. They had a hand in this. "Already, you've broken one of our rules," scoffed one of them. "We thought we told you to come alone. Coming here with your friend is like seeking more trouble. Will Mr. Carter be competent enough to fend for himself?""Shit! Buddy, these stupid old fools are underestimating me," De

***"Hailey, listen to me!" Rob grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look up. "This is important, you have to take it."Nothing was more important to Hailey right now than getting away from him. Not only did she fear these drugs he had brought her, but she also feared the way his demeanor had changed ever since he returned with them.Of course, even if Rob was really trying to save her, there was no way she was going to cooperate with him.Yesterday, he'd secretly taken her blood, waking her up. And he returned this morning, looking agitated and somehow angry at her. "Hailey!" Rob's hold became tighter. "You must take these drugs immediately. I can't get you out here if you don't. Please, Hailey." He softened his voice. "Just take the damned drugs, you'll feel better. We both will feel better.""What exactly is wrong with you?" Her mother's voice faded in the background. "Leave her alone, she doesn't want to take them. Please I'm begging you, don't torment her any further."While he

Maniac.Hailey lifted her hand weakly to send a slap across his face, but her hand went limp and fell mid-way."M–Murderer." She pushed his chest. "Just go, leave me alone.""Hailey." Footsteps approached the room and Rob said frantically, "Please hold on." He touched her forehead. "You're sick. I'll get someone to treat you. I'll get you out, I promise."Then he sprang to his feet and left, closing the door behind him. Hailey was left wondering how such lunatics could be left wandering among normal people. She sniffed and waddled back into her mother's embrace. How blind had she been to associate with these kinds of people in the past?And how could she put a stop to these endless noises and intense headaches? She didn't want to remember? She didn't want to recall whatever they had shared in the past. ***'Ken, you have to save me. These strange men have captured me and they won't release me until you come. If you don't come alone, Ken, they're going to kill me and my Mum.'Kendric

...The hours dragged on, and from the tiny cracks in the wall, it seemed night had come. Still in her mother's embrace, Hailey shut her eyes to keep up with that pain.Both hands were wrapped around her stomach and she'd shiver now and then. As much as she'd like sleep to overtake her, it didn't. The exhaustion weighing her down didn't let her achieve that. The exhaustion caused by the aches all over her body. Her head pounded constantly, the voices also became louder each time she was left to her thoughts. Those hallucinations were neverending, and very soon she was afraid that they'd burst out, damaging more parts of her brain.The darkness slowly disappeared and the creaking sound of the door made her aware that morning had come. Another day of torture and pain."Hey, wake up!"Before cold water or anything worse could be splashed on her, Hailey leaned away from her mother's embrace who was also awake."Take your food!" The man burly man threw a food box and a water bottle at them

***"Ken, you have to save me. These strange men have captured me and they won't release me until you come. If you don't come alone, Ken, they're going to kill me and my Mum. They have laid traps for you, Ken—"Hailey was cut shut by a hard slap across her face. Bound to a chair with ropes, cold water was splashed on her face. She licked the side of her lips, tasting the metallic liquid; the only thing that kept her from fainting."Damnit! Woman. I told you to leave the trap part out! Are you deaf or what!?" The man holding a camera in front of her shouted. "Now, let's take another video. You will say everything you were asked to.""Stop wasting your time, Man," the portly man said and walked forward. "I don't think this lady is willing to cooperate.""I told you she's a stubborn one," Chloe scoffed from a corner."Now listen to me, Young lady." The portly man approached her and lifted her chin. "If you keep acting this way, we can't fulfill our promise to you. Give us your cooperation

***"Buddy, this is serious. How could she just disappear into thin air? Is there a chance that they're hidden somewhere in this city?"This city? Probably not. Kendrick had turned the whole city upside down. He'd deployed every force he could think of. They'd searched everywhere; every warehouse, every dilapidated building. There was no sign of them. It had been three days and there wasn't any traces of them. He'd driven to the cemetery that day, hoping more than anything that she hadn't spent the night there. And his prayers turned out to work. Only that, what actually happened was worse than spending a night in the cemetery. The sight of her phone by the cemetery gates was all he needed to know that something bad had happened. She was abducted. And there was still no traces of the suspects. Her sister and that guy. "Damnit! This is all screwed up." Devon paced for a while before sitting on the couch. "You didn't tell me you've taken her back. You never should have allowed her
