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
Despised By My Billionaire Husband CHAPTER 167: The Talk
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
Despised By My Billionaire Husband CHAPTER 166
"What sort of condition?" Zane asked expectantly."He arranged for me to disappear after I had signed an agreement that I would never come back.""And he did that because?" Zane asked, cocking a confused brow.Ralph cast an affectionate look towards where I sat, and Zane understood instantly.Zane's brow furrowed. "My father helped you knowing that you and my mother were having an affair?""It was a good one for him – his perfect plan to get me out of their lives. He didn't do it for me because he liked me," Ralph said with a corny laugh.Zane was quiet for a moment, processing that. "So you've been living in hiding for eighteen years?""Yes. Kyrgyzstan, mostly. I've moved around, but that was my base.""What did you do there? Just hide?""No. I survived, worked, built a new life, learned to fight, and made something of myself." Ralph smiled, enjoying the amusement on Zane's face."I built a software company that operates in several countries now."Zane's eyes widened slightly. "You o
Despised By My Billionaire Husband CHAPTER 165: Zane Meets Ralph
I held Zane, supporting him as he was still limping. He didn't reject my help this time. It was one thing to walk by himself in the house; it was another while we were outside. Aside from hospital visits, this was the first time Zane had been out of the house since he started recovering fully from the accident.As we walked into the reception, I noticed someone leaning by the counter and staring at us intently.Could this be him? I thought. Is this Ralph? He didn't look like anything I remembered or imagined. He was totally different. Ralph hadn't been mistaken when he said he was a different person now. My anxiousness to know about his years in exile piqued instantly.He looked older than I remembered – his face lined with years I hadn't been there to see. His hair was nothing I would have been able to predict: shoulder-length dreads, neatly tied back with a band. His beard was fuller now but neatly trimmed. His build was firm, muscular – like he had been training all those years. I

"Mother, can I come in?" Zane asked as he opened my room door and peeked inside."Yes, come," I said excitedly, happy to see him come to me.I sat up, then patted the bed next to me for him to sit."Come here. What's going on?" I asked, surprised he came to me first."I want to see him," he said plainly."You want to see who?" I asked.Zane hesitated a bit. "Ralph?" He shrugged, wanting to be sure that was his name."Yes, Ralph. You want to see him?" I asked in surprise."Yes," he nodded."That's good. I'll call and let him know," I said excitedly, reaching for my phone.I called Ralph right after Zane left my room."He wants to see you," I said, not bothering with a greeting."Are you serious? When?" he asked, surprised and elated all at the same time. I could imagine Ralph's excitement."How about tomorrow? I'll bring him," I said, biting my lower lip."Okay," Ralph said, drawing the word out."Kora," he called in a calm tone. "Are you coming with him so you can see me, or do you re

I flicked my hand near my face, and the bold diamond on my ring caught the light as I showed it to Lisa. “Whattt?” She screamed, placing both hands on her head. “Is that a diamond ring?” She asked rhetorically. I couldn’t hold my laughter. “It’s real now, girl. It’s fucking real!” She sank into

It's just dinner, but why is my heart pounding so loud? Aldwin fixed an amazed stare as I walked down the grand staircase. His eyes held both desire and questions.“You look stunning,” he said as I sat down.“Thank you.” I blushed red. My lips curved into a disbelieving smile, my eyes crinkling at

I wasn't sure how long I’d been asleep, but when I finally woke up, I was startled to realise I had company. Aldwin sat on the sofa in the corner, just watching me with keen interest. He looked lost in thought that he didn't blink, not even when I stirred awake. His eyes were still on my face as I

“Girlll! You are literally living my dream.” She whispered in awe.Just then, the man walked towards us.“Miss Kora?” He asked, his face stern.“Yes,” I replied.He gave a curt gesture towards the car. I waved at Lisa, still in disbelief, and followed him.He opened the back door, motioning fo
