“You don't have to. I'm a chef remember?” I said enthusiastically, a smile curving around my lips.

“I don't give a fuck what you were. That's not what you're here for. I have a chef. Where's John?” He turned to Celine, who stood a few steps away. She trembled.

John walked in just then.

“Sir Aldwin, you’re back.”

“Did you hand over your cooking to my wife?”

“No. We actually cooked together,” he said, smiling.

“This will be the last time. She's not allowed to cook any of the meals. You’re h

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 140: Heteropaternal Twins

    I nodded, still staring at the papers in my lap. "What am I going to do, Lisa?""First, you're going to breathe." Lisa took the papers from me and set them on the nightstand. "Then you're going to wait for your mum, and then the three of us are going to figure this out together."I wanted to believe her. I wanted to believe that there was a way through this – that the truth wouldn't destroy what I had managed to build, that Zane and Zion would never have to know about any of this.But the words on that paper seemed so real that I wasn't sure I could believe anything anymore.My mum arrived within the hour, breathless and worried. Lisa went downstairs to lead her to my room."Where is she?" my mum asked in a shaken tone, worry laced in her voice."She's upstairs," Lisa said quietly. "I need you to listen to what I'm about to tell you before you go up there."My mum nodded, her eyes wide with expectation. "What's going on?"Lisa took a deep breath. "Kora asked me to take DNA samples fro

    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

    What is this ego that comes with having so much money? I feel different— powerful in a way that feels entirely new. I transferred a large sum to my mom's account, more than I'd ever been able to give her. Her reaction when she called was priceless. Lisa’s reaction was even better; she almost scre

    I opened my eyes slowly to see the housekeeper who had just woken me up. “Good morning, ma’am,” she greeted again. “Your breakfast is ready.” Is it morning already? Aldwin never came back. My first night as a married woman; no sex, and I slept alone. What exactly had I signed up for? “Where

    As I pushed open the glass door of the bathroom, the warm scent of roses enveloped me. “What…is…this…?” I asked aloud, utterly shocked. The bathtub was filled with warm water, and rose petals floating gracefully on its surface. The soured party was more than compensated for. My feelings were thr

    And what was that supposed to mean? My heart jumped to my throat. I tried to pull away, to demand an explanation, but his firm grip held me close against his chest. He placed his other arm on my waist, guiding me in a slow, intimate rhythm. The heat of his palm on my bare skin sent a confusing th
