The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Chapter Twenty-eight
Kendrick's assistant scurried behind him as they left the conference room. He headed straight for the elevator and when he punched the buttons, she asked in a confused tone. "Sir, aren't you going back to the office. There are still contracts that need your signature." Kendrick put both hands in his pants pocket and shook his head. "We're going to the construction site." Rosslyn's brows settled into a frown and she scratched her head. "Remember it is not on your schedule today. You have also spoken to the architects already." The elevator came to a stop at the parking lot and Kendrick walked out. "You can go back home, Rosslyn. Your work is done for today." But she kept on following him and Kendrick stopped in his steps. "What is it?" "S–Sir, It's about the rumor..." She trailed off, as if contemplating what to say next. "Is it true? I mean, d–did you really take a wife?" Kendrick's eyes narrowed and Rosslyn took a step back. "I–It is just that you didn't deny it. So, I th–thi

Hailey's hand paused mid-air as she was about to pick up another fruit. She withdrew her hand and fisted her cloth with it, to cease it from trembling. "I– I don't know what to do with Rob." Her voice strained and she tried to swallow the lump in her throat. "B–But I think he will understand. I am so hopeless, Chloe. I wish I could make a choice that will be to both our advantage."Her heart squeezed with guilt and her eyes watered. Breaking this to Rob was the same as making her look unreliable. He was patient enough with her, now she was even ashamed of speaking of this to him. "I want you to do me a favor, Chloe." Hailey sniffed and continued. "I want you to help me talk to Rob. Tell him that I will never abandon him. He should exercise more patience.""But, Hailey. You know I hate to see you sad." Chloe gave her a hug. "If only you could change your decision. Believe me, I'll find us another plan.""You don't have to bother anymore," Hailey reassured her. Kendrick had the right

****But the next morning, Hailey woke up to find Kendrick with her on the bed. His hand was wrapped around her bump as usual, as he held her in a spoonful position. 'Urgh!' She let out a groan and pushed his hand away. "Did you sleep well?" His deep husky voice jolted her and Hailey turned to her side to see his eyes opened.Of course, she slept like a log. Otherwise, how could she not have been aware that he had sneaked in on her? She gave him a hard glare and he chuckled. Kendrick pushed himself up, using one arm to support himself. Then Hailey realized he was shirtless, and her eyes widened. "Kendrick, you. Haven't we spoken about this?" She pointed at his exposed chest. "About not wearing clothes?" He raised a brow and Hailey nodded, deepening her glare. "Ah, but I didn't get to sleep early last night. I guess I was so tired to grab one.""You." Hailey gave him a stern look. He was blatantly lying to her without even batting an eye. How despicable. This cunning man. She sa

Kendrick turned to face her with a towel in hand. "There is fresh air outside in the field. This house is large enough, you can take a walk all you want." She knew it. Hailey rubbed her forehead. There was no way this jerk would concede to any of her requests. And those stupid guards, one time she walked near the gate and all of them flooded to her. Even the maids had been looming over her like an army of flies.Kendrick raised his hand to her hair and she jerked away."Do you want to go out that bad?" He asked in a soft tone."Of course, I have to go out. Seeing your face every day is even giving me nightmares.""Hailey?"She pouted. Kendrick shook his head again and a chuckle escaped his lips. "Don't get sad. I'll make arrangements for that.""Arrangements?""Of course."Hailey frowned and tilted her head. Wasn't he just supposed to say one word and the guards would let her out? What kind of arrangement was he talking about?"Then when can I go out?" She demanded.Kendrick stroke

Hailey picked up a glass of water from one of the waiters' trays and found a corner to sit at. It wouldn't hurt to watch. Besides, her eyes needed something new, after being stuck with seeing Kendrick's and his servants' faces every day. The event's organizer stepped up on the stage a while later. He gave a welcoming speech to the guests, and asked everyone to feel at home and have themselves entertained, before the main course of the event.The people as expected went back to their socializing before the organizer could even put down the mic. Hailey rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time and waved to a waitress who was distributing pastries. She picked as many cupcakes as she could from the waitress's tray, and accompanied it with a bottle of juice. Of course, not many people came to these kinds of events only purposely for the auctions that would go to the charity homes. The majority of them are only here to strike up deals and sponsor their own businesses. It had been the norm

But the money was going to charity, and she felt obliged to buy something. However, the problem was that nothing had really caught her attention. Some of the statues were even scary. Otherwise, she could have gotten one to decorate her garden. Hailey yawned and watched with a palm supporting her cheek, as voices rose now and then, each one trying to outbid the other. She glanced down at her wristwatch and stifled another yawn, as the auctioneer continued."Next item on the list, is a fine piece of jewelry. It has been around for ages, firstly worn by the warrior empress across the east sea. Forged from the purest of gems, it was created by the great smith himself. Who traveled across the seven plains. And who here doesn't know their love story?" Well, that caught Hailey's attention. Inside a transparent glass that was just carted to the stage, was the finest jewelry she ever saw. Its sapphire moon-kissed gem sparkled against the light, reflecting the colors of the surrounding. The

No one even had the spirit to bid again, and most of the items were either sold at their second or third prices.Hailey decided to swallow the shame. She wouldn't go home empty-handed. Not when she had come this far. Ah. She raised her card and bid for a strange-looking painting, its name was even weirder. But the design looked unique, her grandfather was going to love it. The painting was sold to her immediately, no one even competed for it. Either they did that out of pity or were simply intimidated, Hailey did not care. Urgh! How could this night get any worse? It was all Kendrick's fault.When the auction was over and her painting was packed for her, Hailey decided to take a trip to the washroom. She washed her face and brought out a powder pallet to retouch her makeup. Noises came from the hallway before the door opened. The three girls from before came inside, and she felt a headache coming."Oh my God, she must be heavily loaded." "Even Sharon was outbid by her, I wonder

It was as if everything was well and thoroughly planned already. That Kendrick. And she was only aware of it just a few minutes ago. Hailey followed behind the uniform man, to the very quiet living room. No one was around. No servants nor bodyguards."Please have a seat, Miss. I will call the Master's attention."The man gestured to the couch, and Hailey sat down.Her eyes wandered around the place once more. Seemed like Kendrick's parents loved luxury. Every piece of furniture in the room looked very neat and expensive. Even the couch was white, and the floor sparkled. Footsteps sounded from the stairs and Hailey looked up. Kendrick's parents walked toward her and although they were in casual clothes, they still emitted that aura of extravagance. They almost seemed intimidating. Especially his father whose face held no expression. Hailey could see where Kendrick got most of his genes from. On the opposite, his mother had a very big smile on. The woman was so beautiful, even her 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
