Despised By My Billionaire Husband CHAPTER 77: The Break In
“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 exactly?”“Everything.” My voice was almost a whisper. “How it happened. Except I didn't say it was you who asked me to do it.”“Kora, you should have kept denying it.”“Do you understand a single thing I've been saying? He's got proof! How am I supposed to fight that?”“Fuck. It's a survival of the fittest, it's not strange my proposal countered his. I bet he would have given up if you had held on to not having anything to do with that.”“You weren't there. He didn't stare you in the eyes and asked those questions. You didn't see his face when he said he'd found proof and knows what I did.”The silence hung between us. I could hear him sigh through the phone.“I’m scared.” I broke the silence.“

“It's because you weren't going to let it happen, that was why I went in search of the one piece of evidence I could hold against you. I knew what I read in that precontract, and the hidden clause wasn't one of the conditions.” “Are you keeping to the rest of the conditions you agreed to? Are you making me happy? Instead, you steal my company information to help your boyfriend. What else is going on between you two, aside from stealing? Have you been sleeping with him? Are you having an affair?” His eyes gleamed with sudden suspicion. “No, I'm not…” I shook my head. “Like I'm going to believe anything that comes out of that lousy mouth of yours.” He puckered his lower lip with a smirk. “And you looked me in the eyes at breakfast, asking what NexGen was? Really? You'll never cease to disappoint me.” He stood up, pocketing his hands as he walked to the window, staring out at the night sky. “How much did you give him?” He asked. I looked up. “What?” “How much of my information did
Despised By My Billionaire Husband CHAPTER 75: Cracks In The Lie
I heard the footsteps and shut my eyes. My heart pounded loudly, I counted the beats. The footsteps stopped, not far from the bedside. I stayed still, my eyelids pressed tight, pretending to be asleep. He was quiet for a moment, probably observing me. “Get up.” His hoarse voice commanded. I ignored him, didn't move an inch; Instead, I shut my eyes tighter, hoping he'd leave If I stayed still. But Aldwin wasn't going to fall for my act. “I said, get up.” This time, his voice was stern. Gently, I pulled the cover aside and sat up, playing sleepy. “You're back.” “Keep the act to yourself. I knew you were awake.” “Now…” he sat on the bed. “Ralph Townsend.” He gave me a knowing look. I felt a knot in my chest. I kept my expression even, but my heart was racing. Why was he calling Ralph's name? “Tell me what exactly happened.” “What exactly?” “Really?” He tilted his head like I was a puzzle he had already solved. “I've done terrible things to people for lying to me. I'm the on

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 picked up. The line beeped.He tore the pajamas off his body with a single, angry yank, buttons splattering across the floor. He dragged the shirt off and tossed it on the floor. The morning was cold but he turned on the cold shower anyway. The freezing water coursed down his back as he stood under the spray, fidgeting and gritting his teeth against the chill.He had gotten over losing the bid, but he was in disbelief that I had worked against him with Ralph. He grabbed his jacket and headed for the door.Ray was already waiting by the car. He took one look at Aldwin's face and didn't bother with the usual morning greeting. The drive to Ellison Holdings' headquarters was quiet. Aldwin stare

“I had intelligence to look into it, see what they could find. The representative of Philips Tech for the bid is my wife's ex-boyfriend – or still is.” He pinched his forehead. “Somehow, I don't know if I should call it luck, but he utilised our weaknesses for the bid, turning everything we weren't offering into strong points for their proposal. Every single point on our list… It was more like he found loose ends and supplied a positive for each, as if he was fighting our entire offer. It's cliché.” He sighed. “Do you have a file on what their offer was? I want to see it and compare it with ours.” “I have every detail we need to erase all doubts. They didn't propose a unique offer, just countered every single thing we proposed. I mean, how could they be so detailed?”There was a pause on both ends as they analysed the situation.Mrs Ellison broke the quiet. “Do you think someone leaked the proposal details to them ahead of time?” “I thought about that too, but the chances are qui

Aldwin was away from work, but work followed him here. He opened his laptop to catch up on emails. The time difference meant New York was sleeping, but there were always reports to review and approvals to sign.He worked through the afternoon until it was time to leave; they were heading back to New York.By evening, he was tired. He decided to take a nap once they boarded, but to his surprise he slept for half an hour. His phone buzzed, waking him up with the vibration.

He opened it.Dear Mr Aldwin, Thank you for your interest in acquiring NexGen and for the time you took to be present. We were impressed by your vision and the strength of your offer.
