The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Chapter Forty
As if reading Kendrick's mind, Devon shrugged his shoulders. "Because you're my best friend." He grinned. "And because I've not yet started working on it. So you see, it's going to be an important and heavy workload to carry.""And you will need some of my staff to work with you?" Kendrick raised a brow. He should have seen this coming. "Good guess." Devon snapped his fingers. Kendrick chuckled and shook his head. "If you're even thinking of making me let you work with my assistant, you can dream on.""Argh! Come on." Devon did not see that coming. "Aren't you supposed to celebrate? You should give me thousands of your employees if I asked for one. Every other company had been eyeing this new idea for so long." Kendrick shook his head and chuckled. Indeed, it was a very tempting offer. One he wouldn't think twice before grabbing. "You're beginning to make me think you're somehow interested in her." Devon raised an annoyed brow. "You have a pregnant wife for speaking out loud." "

Now, Kendrick was speechless. "I'm so hungry for an ice cream Kendrick." She held his jacket and shook him so hard, he had to use his hands to steady her. "If you don't tell them to get me one, I swear I'll—""Alright." Kendrick pulled her toward the couch and sat her down. Why did every new side of her look scarier than her usual moody self? And those sides are the ones that even seemed more threatening to the baby. "What kind of ice cream would you like? I'll get you a supplier." "Just tell them to bring me any." And now, she was agitated. "Okay." Kendrick lifted his hands in a pacifying gesture. The way she stared at him right now pointed to each of his thoughts earlier. She would really burst if he wasn't careful."Collins." He called out to the Butler who appeared beside them in a flash. The middle-aged man was sweating so much, despite the heavy clothes he had on. "Take the maids with you. And find her every ice cream you can find." "Yes, Master." The Butler almost saluted

*****'Why now?' Hailey held her stomach which was grumbling continuously. Her nose caught so many flavors, she didn't even know what her baby wanted now. Of all the times, why would her cravings increase when she finally thought she was having an upper hand over Kendrick?Now, almost every day, she had to make a fool of herself when those irresistible urges came up. It was so embarrassing, even her self-esteem was plummeting. Kendrick must be basking in her misery— how despicable. He never said no to whatever she wanted to eat, but would make sure he dragged the poor elderly woman to the mansion to check on her. That had continued for many days. Wasn't he supposed to be fed up with that? No, he wasn't. But always hovered around her she could barely breathe. Yet beneath those pathetic eyes, she was sure he was very well taking joy in seeing her in this state. 'Urgh! Hypocrite.' she slammed on the car's horn. 'Yes.' Everything she wanted to eat, he said 'Yes.' that was so embarrassi

And if not for her grandfather barging here and asking for her whereabouts, things wouldn't have turned out like this, as her parents didn't even waste time selling her out."I really came here to visit," Hailey muttered tiredly. "If you don't believe me, you can call the house's number and ask—""Hailey." Her sister's voice interrupted her and Hailey breathed out a sigh of relief. Chloe hurried down the stairs with a flabbergasted expression and she gave her a hug, almost crashing into her."What is wrong? Why are you suddenly here?" Chloe asked in a worried tone and Hailey had to repeat her reason for being here for the umpteenth time. "Oh, that— visit?" Chloe stared at her, confused for a few seconds."Yeah, I'm here to see you." Hailey nodded, ignoring the couple who were now giving them scrutinizing looks. "That's so nice of you, Sis." Chloe's face broke into a smile and she hooked her arm around Hailey's. "You shouldn't have, you know... I told you I'm alright," she said, w

Rob was willing to be with her, despite carrying another man's child. If only she wasn't powerless and could fight Kendrick back. "Anything for you." Chloe hugged her back. "You know I hate to see you sad. We have to make sure you don't make any mistakes. If I have told Rob the truth, he might think of giving up on you after so many years together. And we don't want that, right?""Yeah." Hailey sniffled back her tears. "And about your career, you've really come up with a great plan. This Way, he can't get to be around you all the time.""Yeah." Hailey nodded. The door flung open, jolting both of them and Chloe's mother stepped inside with a stern expression. Hailey didn't need to be told the woman had been eavesdropping."Who can't get to be around who?" She narrowed her eyes at Hailey. "We're only discussing stuff, Mum," Chloe defended quickly. "Sister was only—""Yeah, I don't care." The woman waved her hands. "Are you sure you haven't done anything again? Did you only come to

"And don't break your promise." Her father scolded. "Otherwise, I'll be convinced you're really trying to follow the footsteps of your mother." Hailey swallowed before nodding slowly again. Another thing to take care of. She had to warn her sister never to let them know about her plans to move on with her career. Because that would only lead to more comparisons with her mother. When she returned to Chloe's room, the place was empty. Hailey lay on the bed and rubbed her aching head. There was not even food in the house. Her stepmother had mentioned something about not wanting to waste the supplies. If she wanted to eat, she had to go back home. Well, she wasn't planning to stay for long anyway. The door to the bathroom opened, and Chloe came out of it. "Dad wants something, right?" Chloe grinned. "Your face tells me your heart-to-heart talk didn't go well."Hailey gave a sad laugh then sat up properly as her sister faced the mirror to retouch her makeup."Are you going somewhere?"

As almost always, Hailey would catch the Butler making secret phone calls while sneaking glances at her when he thought she wasn't looking. Now, she had to return home early. When she finally had another chance to stay off that dungeon. Even though she didn't prefer her parents' company either, it was still better to spend some time anywhere that wasn't that mansion. And Rob knew her history with her parents. No wonder he suggested that. Maybe next time she would pack all her food supplies for the day and of course, make sure with her sister they weren't around. "How would you like some nice meal?" Rob instantly proposed. Hailey opened her mouth, not wanting to believe what he was suddenly suggesting."You don't have to, Rob." She shook her head while trying to mask her fear. "Y–You can drop me off so I can find a taxi home."She didn't want to risk the chance that Kendrick's guards weren't around. Hailey would really love his home-cooked meal. But that meant going to his home. Wha

Hailey wanted to believe him. She just couldn't bring herself to.It was obvious how desperate he was for her to spend time with him. She wasn't only afraid Kendrick would be mad, but what he was going to do. The one that would be hurt most in the end would be her. "I won't allow anything to happen to us, Hailey. Only you and I belong together," he muttered it as if not just to her but to himself and Hailey shut her eyes. "It hurts so much," he confessed and an unprecedented tear trickled down Hailey's cheek. "Just stay with me, I won't do anything to make you feel uncomfortable." *****Today's one was different. That unsettling feeling whenever he arrived at the office. He could barely bring himself to concentrate. She was at a delicate stage in her pregnancy, the doctor had said, every little thing could tip her off. This was the time when he should be very most careful around her. He had to count every of his movement. Her incessant demands for food had increased day by day. T

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
