The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal Chapter 32
Frederick stepped into the dimly lit office, the air thick with an unshakeable tension. The door was closed behind him with numerous bodyguards outside, both from his side and Mr Te-Sumi's side. As he surveyed the room, his gaze landed on Mr. Te-Sumi. The office was adorned with dark wood furnishings and elegant decor, a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing within Frederick. Mr. Te-Sumi sat behind a large mahogany desk, his expression inscrutable, revealing nothing of his thoughts or intentions.“Frederick,” Mr. Te-Sumi greeted him, his voice smooth and measured, yet it carried an undercurrent of power. “I understand you’re concerned about Serena’s disappearance. My men are conducting a thorough search as we speak.”Frederick clenched his fists, his frustration boiling just beneath the surface. He couldn’t hold back any longer. “Are you behind this?” he demanded, his voice rising with the weight of his accusation. “You’re the one of the few who knew about our stay here in South K

Serena felt a splash of water on her, jolting her awake as she coughed out the liquid that had invaded her mouth and nostrils. Shaking her head to clear the wet strands of hair from her face, she squinted into the darkness of the room. Her hazel eyes struggled to adjust, but she could make out a figure standing nearby, a man holding a bucket. This was probably the source of the water that had drenched her.“Wake up, you bitch,” the man growled, his voice dripping with malice. Recognition washed over her; he was the one who had beaten her and tied her up. She stared defiantly at him, trying to discern his features in the dim light. The tension in the air thickened as he stepped closer, and without warning, he struck her across the face. “Don’t you dare give me that look!” he spat, his anger palpable. He then tossed a tray of food beside her, the clattering of dishes echoing in the silence. The tray contained a meager serving of cold rice, a few pieces of stale bread, and a small por

Serena glared at Woo Young, trying to wrap her head around the situation. The girl before her exuded an air of entitlement that was hard to ignore. "What do you mean by that then?" Serena asked, her voice steady but laced with irritation.Woo Young leaned back in her chair, a smug smile on her face. "It's time for you to pay for snatching someone else's husband," she replied, her tone dripping with condescension. Serena's anger flared. "If you don't have anything better to do, or if you don't have assignments to attend to, then why are you here being stupid?" Woo Young’s smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "I don’t care what you say, as long as you don’t insult my Frederick," she snapped back, her eyes narrowing. Just then, Woo Young snapped her fingers, and the harsh man from earlier—the one who had beaten Serena—came rushing in with a document in hand. Serena realised the power this girl wielded. How could she command such authority? It dawned o

Serena was still in the room, tied up. Her head slumped to her chest in defeat. The dampness of her clothes clung to her skin, torn and battered. Beside her sat an empty tray that had once contained a serving of white rice—her only meal in days. It took three desperate scoops to finally shove the grain down her throat, a frail effort to silence the gnawing emptiness in her stomach. Each laboured breath she took reminded her of the weakness that had seeped into her bones, leaving her limbs trembling and feeble.Her skin, once bright and lively, was now dry and caked with dirt. As she struggled to rouse herself from her stupor, a faint squeak cut through the silence, snapping her out of her thoughts. Something grazed against her bare feet—a sharp, tiny nibble that sent ice through her veins. A rat! She screamed, her voice hoarse yet filled with primal fear. In a frantic effort to swat it away, she kicked her foot at the creature, sending it scurrying back into the shadows of the roo

Serena was aware that time was slipping away from her, and she had to act swiftly. Instead of dwelling on the mysterious help she received from the boulder, she pushed those thoughts aside and focused on the task at hand.Her first instinct was to call Frederick, but as she attempted to dial his number, she quickly realized that there was no signal. It was hardly surprising, given her gut feeling that she was stranded in a remote area, far from civilization. Panic began to creep in as she clutched her phone tightly, her mind racing with questions. “What am I supposed to do now?” she whispered to herself, trembling with anxiety.Then, a glimmer of hope sparked in her mind: GPS! With urgency, she navigated to her settings and activated her location services, silently praying that would help before her captors could find her. She knew they would be closing in soon, and every second counted. She attempted to stand but as she tried to rise to her feet, a wave of weakness washed over her

Woo Young burst into her father's study, where he was quietly reading a book. “Appa,” she called out in Korean, her voice filled with urgency and frustration. “Why did you do that? Why?!”She had just found out that her father had sent his men, along with Frederick's, to Sejong-si to rescue Serena, who was being held captive by her. The news hit her like a punch to the gut, and she couldn't contain her anger.Her father looked up at her, but there was no sign of anger or worry in his eyes. Instead, he had an unsettling expression, as if he was completely detached from the situation. “I told you not to do anything, didn’t I, Woo Young?” he said calmly.But Woo Young couldn’t hold back. In a fit of rage, she grabbed a nearby vase and hurled it to the ground, watching as it shattered into countless pieces. The sound of breaking glass echoed in the room, but it wasn’t enough to calm her. She turned around, searching for anything else she could destroy, and continued to smash objects ag

When Serena finally opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a soft bed that felt so inviting, it made her want to stay there forever. The familiar smell of antiseptics and the scent of the drip filled her nostrils, reminding her that she was in a place of healing.It was then that she noticed the IV drip attached to her arm. Although she wasn't in a hospital, she realised she was still receiving treatment in this place.Suddenly, the door swung open, and a female Korean doctor entered, wearing a white coat and holding a tablet in her hands. “Where am I?” Serena asked quickly, trying to sit up. But as she did, a sharp pain shot through her body, causing her to collapse back onto the bed.“I’d advise you to rest for a while before trying to move around, Mrs. Serena,” the doctor said gently. Her English was not perfect, and her Korean accent was quite strong, but Serena was able to understand her clearly. “Your body has been through so much these past days.”“At least tell me

“I have something to take care of,” Frederick replied when Serena asked where he was going. The truth was he wanted to meet Mr. Te-Sumi. Even though Serena was found, he still wouldn’t let her captor go free.Before he left, he made sure the security around Serena was tight, ensuring it was only his men watching her.“Don’t let her out of your sight!” he ordered. He also asked the doctor to keep an eye on her in case she needed to use the restroom.“Welcome. Please wait here while I let him know you’ve arrived,” a lady in a suit said to Frederick when he got to the meeting place with Mr. Te-Sumi.It was the same restaurant where they had first met. The lady came back and motioned for him to follow her, and he did.Soon, they arrived at the room. Frederick took off his shoes and walked inside. It was one of those restaurants that embraced Korean culture, and there were no chairs.As he entered, Frederick looked around. Mr. Te-Sumi was there, but he didn’t see his daughter. He sat down

The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal Chapter 78
It was a beautiful wedding day, set in a charming open area surrounded by tall, swaying palm trees that gently rustled in the warm breeze. The sun shone brightly, casting a soft glow over the small gathering of finely decorated chairs and tables. The decorations were simple yet elegant, perfectly complementing the serene atmosphere. White linen draped gracefully over golden chairs, each adorned with delicate sprigs of greenery and small white flowers, adding a touch of nature to the setting. A golden arch stood at the front, decorated with flowing white fabric and clusters of vibrant blooms in soft pastel colours. The small tables were dressed in light-coloured tablecloths, each holding a single vase filled with fresh flowers, bringing a pop of colour to the scene. Flickering candles were placed on the tables, ready to light up as the sun began to set, casting a warm and inviting glow. Steadily, the guests began to find their seats, creating a cozy atmosphere filled wit

SIX MONTHS LATER “There has once again been a notable increase in the stock sales of the F&S corporation, which is currently in partnership with the well-known Te-Sumi company. The stocks are rising at a remarkably fast pace, and it is advisable for anyone interested to—”The driver lowered the volume of the radio as the passenger he was carrying wanted to make a phone call.Seated behind him was Mr. Te-Sumi, accompanied by another man who was the one making the call. After finishing his conversation, the man turned to his boss, Mr. Te-Sumi.“I believe we don’t need to attend the meeting anymore, sir,” the man said confidently. Mr. Te-Sumi raised an eyebrow, indicating that he was curious and wanted to hear more about this statement.“Mr. Sullivan has finally woken up. With that, there’s no longer a need for us to meet with the board to discuss the idea of bringing in a new chairman,” the man explained, a hint of relief in his voice.Mr. Te-Sumi nodded in understanding. “I see your p

Serena slowly opened her eyes to find herself staring at a bright white ceiling. A delicate chandelier hung gracefully from above, casting soft light around the room. She felt the tightness of an oxygen mask over her face, and a wave of dizziness and nausea washed over her. Confusion filled her mind as she wondered, where was she?It was obvious she was in a hospital ward, the sound of a beeping monitor beside her providing a rhythmic backdrop to her thoughts. She attempted to sit up, but her body felt heavy and unresponsive. What had happened to her?As she lay there, still and quiet, her memories began to flood back. She recalled the terrifying moment when Elene had her in a chokehold, while Frederick desperately tried to save her. She remembered they were talking a lot, but Serena could barely hear them as she struggled to break free from Elene’s tight grip. That was when Elene shot her and she collapsed.She attempted to lift her body once again, but it felt impossible. “Troy?
The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal Chapter 75
A scoff slipped out from Elene’s lips. “After all these years, Frederick, it really took you this long to remember?”“You’ve changed so much,” he replied, trying to process his memories.“I had to change. It was necessary for me to stay close to you without raising any suspicions. Now, where were we? Ah, yes. I was about to ask you to leave peacefully, or else it won’t just be Serena who gets hurt.”Frederick let out a sigh. “I’m afraid I can’t do that. I can’t leave her.”Elene’s expression hardened, her brows knitting together in fury. “Oh, so you’re declaring war between us right now, are you?”“There won’t be any war, Elene. You need to let Serena go, and we can sort out whatever issues we have between us, like—”But before he could finish, a loud gunshot rang out, followed by a piercing scream from Serena. Elene had shot her in the other leg.“Serena!” Frederick shouted, sprinting towards her despite Elene now aiming the gun at him. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, Fred
The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal Chapter 74
After the reunion, Frederick turned to one of the men who had come with him and instructed him to take Dhoti and Troy outside for their safety until he could return with Serena.However, Dhoti was not on board with this plan. “I want to go with you. Serena is still somewhere in here and I can't just leave her behind,” she said, her voice filled with desperation and concern.“Sir,” one of the armed men called out to Frederick, “the rest of our team has arrived.”Frederick nodded in acknowledgment. “Make sure to inform them to carefully observe the entire building. Search every nook and cranny and ensure that everyone is accounted for,” he instructed the man, who then stepped away to communicate via a burner phone.Frederick then turned his attention to Dhoti, speaking earnestly, “I care for Serena just as much as you do– and I love her deeply. You have to trust me, Dhoti. I will bring her back safely.”Dhoti hesitated for a moment, weighing her options, but eventually nodded, albeit re

The room was cast in a soft, dim light, but the entrance remained shrouded in shadows. As the figure who had spoken stepped further inside, the first thing that caught Serena's eye was a striking head of red bobbed hair.That alone made Serena freeze on the spot, confusion setting over her as a sense of realisation and surprise washed her.As the light illuminated the person’s face, Serena confirmed it– Elene.Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her heart began to race uncontrollably. “It’s you?” she whispered, still grappling with the shock of seeing her.Troy pulled his mother closer to him, clearly frightened by the familiar face that had just emerged. Serena noticed his reaction and shot a fierce glare at Elene.“What have you done to my son?” she demanded, her voice laced with anger and fear.Elene simply smiled, a chilling expression that sent shivers down Serena's spine. “Oh him? Well, let me see how I can explain this. We had a little game, and he pissed me off, so I decided t

Serena slowly opened her eyes to the soft sound of a child sniffling, the unmistakable sound of someone who had been crying. The pain from the gunshot wound in her leg was still very much present, and she winced as she tried to push herself into a sitting position. This place was unlike the dark and terrifying environment where she had been held captive before. Instead, it was a small room that felt almost normal, featuring a bed, a lamp casting a warm glow, and a table with a chair tucked into one corner. As she looked around, she realised she found herself lying on the floor next to the bed. What struck her as odd was that she wasn’t tied up in any way, though the pain in her leg already made it impossible for her to escape. Perhaps that was the reason she had been shot in the first place.Once again, she heard the low sniffles and turned her gaze toward the bed. There, she saw a little boy with brown hair, curled up and crouched on the mattress. He was crying quietly, his small

Serena's GPS was being tracked, and Frederick wasted no time in following the signal to locate her. The FBI had already been alerted and were getting ready to offer any sort of assistance to Frederick.Frederick pressed down on the accelerator, weaving in and out of traffic as he sped down the highway, the screen in his car displaying Serena's location. His mind was racing, but he pushed aside any thoughts about who might be behind this or why it was happening. All that mattered was finding Serena before it was too late.Eventually, he arrived at a rundown old road that forced him to slow down due to the many potholes and bumps. The area around him was desolate, a perfect setting for something sinister like a kidnapping to take place. Deep down, he felt a mix of hope and fear, praying that Serena had remembered to take her phone with her and hadn’t left it behind somewhere. That phone was the key to tracking her down in this desperate situation.Suddenly, a figure stumbled into the
The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal chapter 70
Serena pulled up to a deserted road and turned off the engine. Stepping out of the car, she looked straight ahead. This was the end of the road for her. In front of her was a bushy path, and she had no idea where it would lead.This was the path she was meant to take. The strange voice from the call she had received earlier instructed her to walk down this trail until she reached a building. Only then would she be able to save her son, Troy.Whoever had called her was the same person who had kidnapped Troy and Dhoti. They had already released Dhoti, which made it clear that the kidnapper was only interested in Troy. But why? This had to be connected to her in some way, but she couldn't understand the reason behind it.Serena couldn’t help but dig through her memories, trying to recall if there was anyone she had seriously upset in the past. However, no one came to mind.This could only mean that this person was likely connected to Frederick. Perhaps they were Frederick's enemy, and si
