The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Chapter 290
"That is great." The Butler widened his smile. "Remember, Madam. You're supposed to come back by—""Yes, Collins, I get it." Hailey cut him off and took another look at her wristwatch. She was supposed to return early. Hailey was already aware of that. "Good." The Butler gave a nervous laugh. "And don't forget, Madam." He wasn't done speaking yet. "Remember, no work tomorrow." Hailey wanted to groan but held it back. Kendrick must have asked the Butler to keep an eye on her. Maybe he didn't fully believe her when she promised that she would only go to work once in a while and also return very early. She gave the Butler a weak nod before bidding him goodbye. When she left the house, Rick was already waiting in the parking lot with the car's door held open. They soon set off to the diner and Hailey relaxed back on the car's seat while keeping her eyes closed. And her thoughts wandered again. Kendrick hadn't called her since yesterday. Would he call her today? And could she keep w

This was hard to believe. Hailey shook her head. Kara couldn't possibly copy her special recipe in such a short time. Hailey had never shared it with anyone. She always had a way to make her pastries taste different. Only she knew the right measurements of the ingredients she used. This cake— it tasted exactly like the ones she made. Hailey's hunger was instantly replaced by curiosity. She carefully rose to her feet with the cupcake still in her hand while the other hand was on her waist. She usually focused on meals and didn't actually bake that much in the diner. Kara took care of that aspect. And if Hailey could recall correctly, the last time she was here, she hadn't baked anything. And even if she did, the cakes wouldn't have survived to this day. How was this possible?"I'm listening, Hailey. Tell me how you were able to convince your husband."Kara's sudden entrance interrupted Hailey's thoughts. Hailey's mind wasn't on Kara's question. Her mind was still on the cupcake.

On her way to the kitchen, she almost bumped into one of the staff. At that, she slowed down her footsteps to calm her heartbeat. She shouldn't be so much afraid of Kendrick's anger to the point of endangering herself. Maybe she should try forming an alliance with the Butler. It had failed several times, she didn't believe that she wouldn't win him over someday. "Shit! You almost got me into trouble. What if she found out?" That was Kara's voice coming from the kitchen. Hailey stopped walking as she was already near the door. Why did Kara sound so agitated? And it seemed like she was scolding one of the staff."I'm so sorry, Ma'am. I didn't know she would come today. I thought we could share the cupcakes after work." "Well, you should have hidden them somewhere else and not the fridge. You could even take them home. Don't you know she almost ate them? Imagine what would have happened.""Please forgive me, Ma'am. It is my fault. I promise this will never repeat itself." Kara's voic

The car arrived at the mansion and stopped in the parking lot. Hailey alighted the car and after bidding the bodyguard goodbye, she made her way into the house. A notification sounded in her phone and she quickly brought it out from her bag. But on seeing the commercial message, her shoulders fell and she pursed her lip. Was Kendrick busy even at this time? Why hadn't he called her yet? And what was with the stupid rule of not phoning him first? Hailey's gaze lingered on the phone's screen as she strolled into the house. She scrolled through her contacts list lazily and with each second that passed by, she began to find Kendrick's order more ridiculous. Her thoughts were still on Kendrick then her eyes caught a contact's name. Chloe.Her sister hadn't returned her call yet. This was disturbing. Hailey paused under the stairs and couldn't look away from Chloe's contact. And she tried again. She dialed her number again, however, it only took seconds before the familiar electronic

Her stomach made a strange noise and she gave it a gentle pat and chuckled. "I also think he's a meanie, Baby. He doesn't have the right to ignore us—" Right on cue, Hailey jumped up as her phone started ringing. Ignoring the dizziness that came with her abrupt movement, her eyes searched around and she located her phone on the bedside table. She grabbed it while her eyes widened at the displayed name. Then her heart started thumping and her hands trembled a bit. Th–That was Kendrick calling. Why was she suddenly nervous? Hailey fiddled with the phone and struggled to hold it properly. Then she took in a deep breath to calm her erratic beating heart. This wasn't the first time she had spoken with Kendrick on the phone. Why did she feel as if she was about to set out for war? Why couldn't she get a hold of herself?Hailey took in another deep breath and made up her mind. Shit! She wasn't supposed to be nervous? She was supposed to be questioning Kendrick on why he had ignored her a

Kendrick didn't let her finish her words and his smile widened. And Hailey almost fell off the bed. Crap! Was that what he thought?Hailey's heart rate ran into another frenzy and one hand flew to her chest. Then a realization dawned on her. Kendrick had pointed out that she was blushing because of the kiss. Could that really be the reason for her nervousness? Hadn't she been basking in shame this morning? Hailey was hopeless and she was afraid Kendrick was right. And now that she had known the source of this weird feeling, she couldn't look away anymore. She could only blink at the camera. Kendrick's chuckles snapped her out of her daze and Hailey pursed her lips. "So tell me I'm right." He taunted. But of course, Hailey wouldn't do that. She'd be damned to say he was right. "How could that be, Kendrick." She gave him an innocent look. "I just took a warm bath, my cheeks should be understandably tinted." Now that she'd known the source of her nervousness, the feeling was stran

"You shouldn't worry about that, Kendrick." Hailey's back ached from leaning against the headboard so she lay down properly on the bed. "I was on my toes all day anticipating your call. I thought you were ignoring me," she mumbled. "I wasn't." Kendrick gave a soft laugh. "I couldn't wait to speak with you.""Really?" Hailey smiled."Really." Kendrick nodded. Hailey bit her lips and ducked her head. Did that mean Kendrick also missed her? He said he couldn't wait to speak with her. Did that mean he'd been thinking about her all day? "Kendrick." His eyes never left her when she looked up. "You... Do you really care about me?" "Is that even a question?" Kendrick tilted his head. "Right now, you're my only priority, Hailey." His voice echoed in the room, the lights were turning dimmer. It was already late into the night. At his words, Hailey suppressed a sigh and one hand wandered to her chest. His only priority. Hailey already knew that. There were a lot of reasons for that. Yet,

That brought a smile to his face and Hailey sighed in relief. The worry in his eyes disappeared and his features softened. His question was probably to see if she was worried that they might not have another baby. And maybe that was true. But it would be harsh to voice that out. Hailey wasn't cruel to that extent. "Yeah, it's still early," Kendrick agreed. "Kendrick," Hailey murmured. "We can't lose hope. I'm sure you'll have more babies." That should make him feel better, and it really did; staring at his expression. "Now that you've known why she preferred girls." Kendrick brought her back to her earlier question. "I bet you'll strengthen your resolve on wanting a girl." Hailey looked away for a few seconds and she shook her head. "I won't change my resolve." She shrugged. "I won't also mind if it turns out to be a boy." She put on a small smile. "Really?" Kendrick asked."Really." She nodded. Maybe he had expected her to say the opposite. Hailey sighed inside before giving

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
