The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Chapter Twenty-three
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

"Her parents visited." Kendrick decided to speak the truth. The way her whole body stiffened at their fake words, and how vulnerable she had looked. The kind of her relationship with them didn't need to be elucidated. When he followed her up and she locked the door. He had heard her cry. He knew it wasn't because of him. Her sobs were accompanied by something else. Grief. The old man closed his eyes and sighed. "That son of mine." He shook his head in disappointment. "I don't blame his wife for leaving. The only thing that broke my heart was when she left my granddaughter behind. How bad things would have been if I wasn't here.""You raised her well." Kendrick found himself saying. Partly to engage himself in the conversation. The old man gave a throaty laugh. "She was a sweet little girl. She took care of me instead of the contrary." Kendrick nodded once more, his eyes glued to the sincerity in the old man's eyes."That is why, Son." He gave Kendrick that fiery look again. "I hat

"And why are we having this conversation now?" Hailey muttered in a helpless tone. "Because the earlier you concede, the better." She pried his hands away and breathed out an exasperated sigh. "Kendrick, I'm not a child. And I've listened to each of the doctor's words, I don't want any of your lectures. Leave me alone, okay? I know what I'm doing." Her voice came out soft and she looked tired, her eyes begging him to stop. Without waiting for his answer, she turned back and strolled away. And Kendrick's eyes lingered on her back until she disappeared behind a door at the end of the hallway. He unclenched his fisted hand and rubbed the back of his nape. Then he turned around and made his way to the study, where he met her grandfather waiting for him with another round of chess game. The day slowly went by and he didn't get a glimpse of her. He had only heard her loud chatters from a distance with the servants, when the old man led him outside for a walk. Hailey's grandfather was

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

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
