“I hear you, baby, I hear you. And if at any point you feel like you can't hold on anymore, I want to be the first you call. I'll have you out of that sham of a marriage in a heartbeat. It's barely been a week since you said ‘I do’ and already this?” She squeezed me tighter, stroking my hair.

“You'll be fine.”

“Mom, who is he?” I asked, lifting my head from her shoulder.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and he walked in.

“Did I interrupt something? Sorry, but I have to go now,” he sa

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 139

    The mansion came into view sooner than she expected, and Lisa was surprised at how quickly she had arrived. She parked in the circular driveway without bothering to find a proper spot and hurried through the front door. The staff member who greeted her barely had time to say hello before Lisa was already halfway up the stairs."Is Kora upstairs?" she asked, not slowing down."She's in the living room, ma'am," the maid called after her.Lisa stopped, turned around, and headed back down the stairs towards the living room.***I was waiting impatiently for Lisa downstairs. The moment she had called to tell me she was coming with the test results, I couldn't sit still. I heard voices and looked towards the entrance, and Lisa dashed in at that very moment, an envelope tucked under her arm."You got it," I said. It wasn't a question.Lisa nodded, holding the envelope tighter. "Not here. Let's go to your room," she said, dragging me away before I could say anything else.My heart thundered a

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 138: The DNA Results

    Lisa sat in her car for a full five minutes, still wondering why she had agreed to do this, before she worked up the courage to walk into the hospital. The building was nothing special – a grey stone structure on a quiet street in Queens, far enough from Manhattan that no one would accidentally recognise her or ask questions she didn't want to answer. Kora had chosen it for exactly that reason.She checked her reflection in the rearview mirror, smoothed down her hair, and reached for the small envelope on the passenger seat. Inside were two plastic bags, each containing a few strands of hair. The labels on the bags were names Kora had invented – names that meant nothing to anyone but her.Lisa stepped out of the car and walked towards the entrance. The reception area was quiet for a mid-morning, with only a few people in the waiting area. She approached the counter and waited for the receptionist to look up."I need to submit samples for a DNA test," Lisa said in almost a hushed tone,

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 137: Ready to Go Home

    Ralph had worked with Doo for years and knew the man wasn't to be trusted completely. He would admit that Doo was easier to get along with than most, but one needed to tread with caution. He did not doubt that assassins could be sent to his room before he was awake, given how unsettled Doo had seemed when Ralph asked for a partnership.The old man agreed, seeing that what Ralph had presented to him was tangible – it was a game changer. He wasn't going to let that slip through his fingers.Ralph wasn't stupid. If he had learned anything from the Black Triad, it was never to trust anyone and to always have a contingency plan. That lesson came in handy now, and he was going to use the Black Triad as his contingency tool.Ralph had engaged in shady operations while working for the Black Triad. He knew every in and out of their entire system and setup. He wasn't certain if he could still access their firewall, but he gave it a try anyway. As expected, there was an obstacle – he had anticip

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 136: Leverage

    One month had passed swiftly for Ralph at the Kora Bora base. He had restructured the entire digital infrastructure of Kora Bora. He built firewalls that kept out rival gangs and government surveillance alike, created encrypted channels for communication that couldn't be traced, and set up a system for tracking payments and debts that made Doo's operations run more smoothly than they ever had before."You're not like the others," Doo said one evening, studying Ralph over the rim of his glass as Ralph punched endlessly at the keyboard, writing codes. "They're scared of me. You're scared too, but you don't let it stop you from thinking."Ralph didn't know how to respond to that, so he didn't try.Six months into his time at Kora Bora, Ralph had changed in ways he hadn't expected. His body was leaner, harder – the softness he had carried from years of sitting behind a desk was gone. He could take a punch now, and he could throw one too. The men who had once looked at him with contempt n

    "You said I could go when I wanted to, as long as I didn't do something stupid," Ralph steered the topic back to himself.He was looking forward to going back to his cabin for the weekend, after having spent almost two weeks in Bokonbayevo, sleeping in the empty storeroom at Nurlan's shop."Yes," Doo agreed, not denying what Ralph had just said."I have a cabin somewhere in these mountains, though I'm not sure how to point to it from here. I don't even know where we are exactly," Ralph said, sounding worried.Doo looked at him as if he were compassionate, but he only saw Ralph for what he could get out of him."You don't need to go anywhere. If you need something brought to you, I can arrange that. You'll have a space much more comfortable and warmer than what your cabin can provide," Doo tried persuading him.Ralph didn't have anything special back in his cabin, as he hadn't left New York with anything. His cabin provided enough warmth. Aldwin had chosen this place as a punishment fo

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 134: The Making of Cross

    "What?" Ralph said with wide eyes, his voice almost a whisper.He told himself he wasn't hearing right. He hadn't escaped the Black Triad just to join another crime organisation in an unknown place."I look forward to a good working experience. Seeing that you know your onions, I can see the future already. Kora Bora will soar," Doo said, bending his head backwards as he released another puff of smoke into the air."No, please. I can't do this. Please, just let me go," Ralph begged. He didn't believe it when he wiped his wet face with the back of his palm.Was he crying? Unbelievable.Doo chuckled. He was enjoying this display – a grown-ass man crying out of fear."I like you already, Cross, and I can guarantee you that you won't regret working for me – unless you try to do something stupid… You know." He said with a shrug, confident that Ralph knew what he meant."You are not my captive. You only work for me. Of course, you will go, but don't think of running away. I have people foll

    “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
