We arrived at the Marriage Bureau moments later; our drive there had been a silent one. Aldwin held my hand as we walked up the row of steps. We were just in time. Tommy joined us as a witness,

“I can't believe my eyes, no way!” Tommy said aloud, his tone laced with disbelief as he saw me walking up the steps, hand in hand with Aldwin. His jaw dropped for a good ten seconds.

“Is that really you?” He asked, still visibly shocked. “Oh ma gawd! You look ravishing… I almost didn't recognise you,” h

    "No," Zane shrugged. "I just kind of anticipated it. Somehow, I knew it was going to happen, since you no longer see me as your son – just another man's child. Probably an enemy of yours." Zane said without any care."And what do you mean by that?" Aldwin sat up, turning to face Zane fully now."You still haven't finished what you were going to say," Zane said, ignoring his question.His meeting with Ralph was still a secret, and he was not going to give any hint about Ralph. Aldwin had no idea Zane had come face to face with the man meant to be his real father – and that he was somewhere in the city while Aldwin still had his search team out there looking to catch a trace of him. Zane found that amusing. Ralph was something else – a real threat, as he called himself."Don't ignore my question, Zane. What do you mean by what you just said? What do you mean when you said the unknown father was my enemy?""Unknown?" Zane asked, feeling disgusted. "I know nothing," he said flatly.Aldwin

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 171: Never Stood A Chance

    Aldwin left the Ellison family mansion more convinced than he had been when he arrived. He was going to talk to Zane about the new plan. It was better Zane heard it from him than found out by surprise."Hey, kiddo," Aldwin said casually as he approached Zane in the sitting room.He sat beside him and wrapped his arm around Zane's shoulder, pulling him closer.Zane was amazed to see Aldwin like this. He had been avoiding him for months since he found out Zane was another man's child, and no matter how Zane tried to get close to him or what he said, Aldwin always seemed uninterested. But here he was, calling him fondly, pulling him close.Zane loved this. He had craved Aldwin's attention for months, but it hadn't worked, as Aldwin was determined to keep him at a distance."Hi, Father," Zane said with a wide grin. "You seem to be in a good mood. Did something good happen at work today?""No…" Aldwin drew out the word, still thinking of how to tell Zane the plan. "I'm just happy, that's a

    "And Zane?" Aldwin asked, still deep in thought."Zane will have a good career. He'll be taken care of, if he chooses to remain an Ellison and if he doesn't rebel or go looking for his biological father. He could still bear the Ellison name, but that doesn't mean anything," Mrs Ellison said with a shrug, like it didn't matter. "We can't use all our bullets at once," she said, staring into space."And what do you mean by that?" Aldwin asked, furrowing his brows. He knew there was more to those words. His mother was much more dangerous when she acted nonchalant about important things. There was always more than she voiced out.She was very good at scheming, and her tactics rarely failed."He won't bear the Ellison name for so long," she added.Aldwin craned his neck, still narrowing his eyes, urging her to go on.Mrs Ellison's eyes glistened, seeing she had caught Aldwin's attention. "While we have a good plan to keep him close without giving too much, we can't strip him of the name as

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 169: No Better Option

    Aldwin's attitude towards Zane didn't change, despite his conscience pricking at him over the way he ignored Zane and his unwillingness to lose him to Ralph.After many unsuccessful attempts to find Ralph's whereabouts, Aldwin concluded that Ralph was either lost somewhere and never coming back, or was dead. The latter was better, because Aldwin had instructed his search team to kill Ralph the moment he was found. He no longer had any reserve for him. Aldwin silently regretted why he had helped Ralph flee from the Black Triad in the first place. He could have killed him when he had the chance – now he was untraceable, whether dead or alive. Ralph was not close, but he had successfully ruined Aldwin's luck with the boys by stealing his chance of being the father to a wonderful son like Zane. He rolled his eyes at the satisfying imagination of leaving several bullets in Ralph.He dismissed the possibility of Ralph ever showing up; besides, it had been eighteen years after all.Aldwin de

    "Because of his money? What do you think of me?" I asked angrily, unable to contain my calm with Zane's choice of words."Honestly, Mother, I don't know what to think anymore," he shrugged absentmindedly, unbothered if what he said got me angry."There's more to this story if you would listen," I said warningly.Zane nodded, indicating he was listening."I read the pre-contract, and it never contained the clause that would tie me to Aldwin for as long as he wanted. So it was assumed I had read and agreed to the conditions when I signed the main contract, which contained the clause." I paused, observing Zane to see if he was understanding. "I only found out about the clause when I wanted to file for divorce. It made it impossible, so I stayed." My face fell."How do you mean impossible?" Zane asked, confused."No lawyer was ready to take my case. Your father made sure of that," I said with a nod.Zane scoffed. He wasn't surprised. That move obviously sounded like Aldwin – he was always

    Zane's interest in Ralph grew instantly. He was beginning to like him of his own accord."What happened to your leg?" Ralph asked, changing the topic."A car accident," Zane said. "I was following my brother. He ran off after a fight with my father. I lost control of the car and went off a cliff."Ralph's face stiffened. "Are you okay?""I will be. The doctors say I'll be able to walk without a limp. It'll just take time.""And your brother? Is he okay?"Zane's expression darkened. "He's fine. He wasn't in the car. He was off somewhere else."Ralph nodded slowly, not pushing further.They talked for another hour. Zane asked about Kyrgyzstan – about the mountains and the people, and what it was like to live somewhere so far from everything he had ever known. Ralph answered each question patiently, not hiding the hard parts but not dwelling on them either. He told Zane about the software company, about the projects he had worked on, and about the satisfaction of building something from

    “He knows,” I said the moment Ralph answered his phone.“What do you mean he knows?”“He knows, Ralph. He has proof. I don't know how, but he was able to find out.”There was a brief silence on the other end, it felt more like Ralph was processing what I had just said.“What did you tell him exact

    Aldwin's words still hung in the dining hall as he left me there and headed back to his room. He picked up his phone and called Lizzy. “Notify the board. I want everyone in the boardroom by nine,” he said in an urgent tone, completely ignoring Lizzy's greeting she had barely finished when she pi

    “I will.” I played dumb, like I didn't know what that meant. Especially when it was coming from Aldwin. “Now.” His deep voice echoed. “Aldwin, I'm tired. I'm not in the mood for…” “It doesn't matter. Just do as you're told.” He was pulling down his pants now. “Can I pass on this…” “No you f

    Aldwin was in a tuxedo. He had clearly been home earlier. I walked into the dining room quietly, trying to read him. “Have a seat.” A smile perched on his face. I took the seat closest to him, hoping to sense what he was up to.“Why are you home at this hour? It's clearly not to have dinner with
