The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Chapter Eighteen
"What are you doing here?" Her voice was laced with anger and he could see that familiar fire making its way into her eyes. That fire he yearned so much to douse. It wasn't good for the baby. "What does it look like I'm doing here?" He let his eyes soften, trying to keep his voice as light as he could. Her hand instinctively went to her stomach, the thing he noticed she liked to do in his presence. "There's no use fighting, Hailey." He closed the distance she made. "I want you to relax, getting angry will do us no good."Either she understood the context of his words, or something else had invaded her thoughts. She closed her eyes and her chest heaved up and down evenly, as if she was trying to control her breathing. And keeping a control of her emotion. "Good." Kendrick's lips tugged up. "I thought I made it clear that I don't want to see you," She said, looking tired, almost helpless. "That is an impossible request, Hailey." Kendrick let out a throaty chuckle. "Doesn't it even

"B–But, Sir— what about tomorrow?" Rosslyn said quickly."Tomorrow's the weekend," Kendrick reminded her and he heard a gasp. However, it wasn't the assistant. It was Hailey, whose expression had now turned to that of horror. "It will wait till Monday. We'll meet with the architects during the weekend." He finished speaking to the assistant who gave him a reply in a low-spirited voice. After hanging up and shoving the phone back into his pants pockets, Kendrick's eyes narrowed at the girl who seemed to have lost her tongue. Hailey stared at him with a far-off look, as if her mind was not there. And without waiting for her to return to her senses and demanding some ridiculous apology, Kendrick turned around and walked inside the house in large strides. When he got to the living room, the servants were busied around with work. And all turned to look at him in shock, their eyes fixed on his clothes. Even the Butler who was talking to a maid paused in his words and coughed. Treating

Now, he couldn't wait for her to open up. His eyes narrowed. Hailey remained sitting even after none was left for her to eat. She tapped her finger on the table, as if urging him to make haste. And Kendrick let out a small laugh. She cleared her throat when he finally finished his food. "Kendrick," she called out his name in a soft tone, he could barely hear her. Kendrick prodded his hands on the table, granting her his full focus and urging her to go on."I have a request," she continued, while searching into his eyes. Her eyes were so expressive he could see the tiny insecurity in them. "Go on." He rested his cheek on a palm. "Can you not go to work on the weekend?" Her voice came out as a plea. "And tell me why I shouldn't." Kendrick tilted his head. 'Hailey Hailey Hailey, you're a great piece of puzzle.'She broke eye contact with him and poured herself a glass of water, then took a little sip. "Because, I need you to come with me... I— I want us to go somewhere else, toge

*****'That stupid stupid Kendrick.' How dare he use her love for her grandfather to trick her. Hailey huffed and puffed as she paced in front of the bed. She was so mad at the moment, that she was afraid her chest would burst. That cunning man. To what extent would he go to make her life hell? He even made sure her room was bolted with chains and padlocks so she wouldn't have any chance of going back. 'Argh.' and how could she be able to sleep in the same place with him without choking him in the night?All she wished now was to rough him up and smash him into a mush the way he did to her baby. Her precious plant. Hailey kicked the hard wood of the bed and slumped down on it. She should have known asking for a request was the same thing as digging her own grave. She was so ready to stain his white shirt with mud, if not for that stupid phone call. Her promise to her grandfather had almost slipped her mind, because she was too busy drowning in her misfortune. If he hadn't mentione

Why did that kiss make her stomach churn in a strange way? His touch was like the devil's claws itself, sending shivers up her spine. Was that her baby's reaction? That should be the reason. 'Urgh.' She tugged at the bag impatiently and finally managed to open it. After picking out her wears, a light pink blouse with lighter colored trousers. She picked a pouch and matching shoes, the only range of accessories that only seemed to get a room on the counters. A while later, Hailey twirled in front of the mirror and giggled. Her grandfather always said she looked great in pink. She couldn't wait to see him. Her hand went to her stomach and she gave it a slight caress. "You're also excited to meet great grandpa, right, Baby." She grinned. "He will be so thrilled to see how rapidly you're growing." When Hailey reached downstairs, her eyes landed on Kendrick who sat on the couch and seemed very engrossed in whatever he was doing on his phone. As if sensing her, he lifted his head and

Kendrick stepped in beside her and took her hand when Hailey started walking ahead. She wriggled her wrist but gave up as his grip tightened. The moment they stepped out of the elevator, he brought out his phone to make a call, while Hailey's eyes roamed over the place. The vast area was mostly filled with pregnant ladies. Some were seated on the waiting chairs with their husbands beside them. Some were walking around, with hands supporting their waists. And a number of the hospital staff were helping the heavily pregnant ones take a stroll. Her eyes stopped at a corner, where an angry-looking woman was bantering with her husband who seemed like he could break down at the moment. Then to another lady who was being fed some fruits by her husband. Another frail lady who seemed a lot younger than her sat in a corner alone, Hailey was surprised she could bear the weight of her huge stomach. A staff walked up to them with a wide smile and after exchanging pleasantries, she said, "Pleas

"How big is the problem?" Kendrick asked, his voice hardening. "No, of course not. At this stage, I don't think it should cause a problem," Bella reassured. "But we need to know its basis, in order to make out a remedy.""Hailey." She turned to Hailey and said, "It's a great thing you didn't have a panic attack. Is it stress then? Do you feel anger or experience headaches?" Hailey gave her a node and lowered her head. Kendrick had been giving her headaches recently. Bella let out a sigh and nodded in understanding. "I can see the root of our problem here." Her frown dissipated and her expression turned to that of relief. "All these problems are normal in pregnancy. There are other aggravating factors, but the main culprit is the hormonal changes you're going through," she reassured. "However, you need to try your best and deal with anything that can heighten negative emotions, like mood swings. okay?" She looked between her and Kendrick. "Because." she continued. "This can make

The men said their pleasantries, then they turned their attention back to her. They started exchanging light banters, Kendrick had to give them a second look. However, Hailey seemed all acquainted with their actions, she wholeheartedly played along. Kendrick was totally ignored by the three, and to his relief, something else caught their attention. From the gate, his black car drove in and all the bodyguards emerged one after another. The two securities looked alarmed, until Hailey assured them they were with them. "Why did they follow us?" She came to his side and asked in confusion. Kendrick shrugged and took her hand. "To do their jobs," he answered simply and started pulling her toward what he made out to be the main entrance. The guards fell in behind them after collecting the gifts from the car's trunk. But after getting over her short-lived confused state, Hailey was the one pulling his hand instead. All the way from the entrance, she kept shouting out, "Grandpa." Her v

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
