The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Chapter 280
"Urgh" Hailey groaned again seeing that it would be fruitless to redo those braids. She didn't know how to make them for goodness sake. "Come here." Kendrick drew her back into his arms and she brought up her legs onto the couch and leaned against him. Then carefully, he took each braid in his hands and started redoing it. When he was done with the first one, Hailey held it up to her eye level and her jaw dropped.It even looked smoother than the one made by the maid and no hair was out of place. "Kendrick, do you know how to make braids?" She stared up at him and asked in wonder. "No, I don't." Kendrick shook his head and frowned as he worked on the second one. Hailey wanted to laugh at the serious look on his face. "You don't? Then how did you make this one? Where did you learn it?" "You make it the opposite way you loosen it," Kendrick replied simply. And Hailey was stunned again. 'Make it the opposite way?' Did that mean he just learned how to do it? Had he been doing that

He focused back on the silky strands of hair in his hands. In fact, he didn't know what he was doing. And he couldn't take his hands off. The texture was good and the volume was right. She also seemed to enjoy it. Because as his hands ran through the strands and he undid and redid the braids, her weight became heavy against him and she dozed off in his arms. Kendrick adjusted Hailey to a comfortable position. And now that her face was in his full view, he had the full chance to study her features. She appeared more at ease nowadays. Unlike in the past, her body seemed to radiate with positivity. She'd been dealing with a lot. And he'd tried his best to make things work. Now that things were going in the right direction, had he been too strict in the past? Or was it because she'd been restless?This docile part of her was still a revelation to him. And the more she showed it, the more he wanted her to reveal more. He'd know of her worries and eliminate them. If she longed for peac

She might only feel emptiness. The same kind of indescribable emptiness that was boring a hole through her heart right now. She had woken up this morning to find her spirit and most of her energy gone. It felt as if he would be traveling for eternity and she would never get to see him again. Also, as if his absence meant some inevitable danger. 'I can't think of those kinds of things,' Hailey scolded herself. And she shouldn't be attached too much to his presence. Maybe Kendrick was right. She was too sensitive. She needed to train herself to be positive all the time. Too much negativity would only affect her state of mind. Hailey took her time to carefully prepare the breakfast. She even baked some goodies to go with it. She would make sure he ate to his satisfaction before embarking on the trip. That way, his mind wouldn't be completely off home when he left. As Hailey designed the cupcakes with some icing, her eyes darted to the kitchen's clock. There was still time left. Sh

"You didn't even think about your health. And you were considerate not to wake me up. You must have spent hours in the kitchen." He brought up his hand to wipe away the tiny beads of sweat on her forehead. "Your kindness is very much appreciated, Hailey." Hailey's hands were still on his necktie and she slowly lowered her head as her cheeks heated up. This was the first time someone had shown her this appreciation. He didn't even smile when he said those words. It was as if the words were coming directly from his heart. Hailey didn't think she'd done that much to deserve this amount of praise. She'd be damned if she didn't say she was emotional at this moment. "Th–Then, do you think I deserve a reward?" She looked up at him and put on a playful smile while trying to sound normal."You deserve every kind of reward, Hailey," Kendrick said and his smile returned. "Like this."He leaned forward and placed a cheek on her left cheek. Hailey gasped and her hand wandered to that cheek. Wa

Hailey's head snapped to Kendrick and their gazes met again. However, contrary to her astonishment, Kendrick only had a frown on his face. Baby girl? Was the woman referring to Sharon? Hailey could remember her using some endearments for the girl.If that was the case, why did she suddenly come looking for Sharon this early? Did she realize something was wrong?Hailey didn't know why her heart had started beating wildly again. And she couldn't describe this foreboding feeling that slowly built up in her heart. "Mum." Kendrick's thoughts must have been in sync with hers because after the small frown, his expression returned to a calm one. And Hailey was afraid. She was afraid that Kendrick's Mum had already sensed something. "I know you haven't eaten, have some breakfast." The breakfast was already spread on the table and Kendrick attempted to serve her. And Hailey resumed walking forward to help him serve the food. "It's a good thing you know I haven't eaten, Ken." The woman's v

It would be horrible to witness Kendrick having a fight with any of his parents because of her. This wasn't how things were supposed to be.So she took to her heels despite his mother's words and headed upstairs. But the woman was faster than Hailey and she instantly caught up with her. "Didn't you hear what I say?" She grabbed Hailey's hand and held her in a tight grip. "You are coming with me today, there's no way I'm going to let you continue tainting my son's life.""I said she's not going anywhere." Kendrick was also by their side and he pried Hailey off her grip. "Mum..." He seemed to be struggling again to keep his temper in check. "Let's go home. You're acting like this because you don't know the whole story.""Tell me if the whole story matters!" His mother pushed him away. "My baby girl is laying at home hanging between life and death all because of this woman." She glared so hard at Hailey that she was grateful for once that looks couldn't kill. "Since she came into this

He was supposed to go on a business trip, would he be able to make it? Would his trip be delayed? She spent more time inside the bedroom and as she did that, those words kept replaying in her head. Kendrick's Mum was not only mad at him, she also mentioned some things about regret and his grandmother. What did her words mean? Was it the same grandmother Kendrick told her about? Hailey let out a sigh and held her head with both hands. Maybe she shouldn't linger in this room. She should go downstairs and get some fresh air. She shouldn't dwell on these thoughts, it would do her no good. Therefore, she got up from the couch and strolled out of the bedroom. She'd come up here to hide from Kendrick's mother. And the woman had certainly left long ago. She would have come after her if she hadn't. As Hailey went down the stairs, her hand went to her stomach which was grumbling. Right, she hadn't even eaten yet. She had almost forgotten about that. She had lost her appetite and didn't

Unlike earlier, his expression was now unreadable. He was neither smiling nor frowning. And she couldn't understand the look in those eyes. And Hailey opened her mouth even though she didn't know what to say. She didn't know what to ask him. And she wanted to know what had transpired at his parents' place. And as she struggled to form a word, her body instantly went stiff as Kendrick cupped her cheeks with both palms. And finally, his eyes flashed with emotion. "Are you alright?" Was the first thing that left his mouth. His eyes were filled with worry and his tone was softer than usual. Hailey was once again speechless. Why was he asking her if she was alright? Was it because of the words his mother uttered? "Hailey, she didn't mean all she said. Don't let those words affect you."His words confirmed Hailey's thoughts and her eyes watered immediately. Was Kendrick comforting her? "Of course, I'm alright." She sniffed back her tears and quickly shook her head. "I also know that

The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife “ Excerpt ”
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
