“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'

    “What?” I placed a hand on my tummy, dazed and staring into nothing.Didn't I just agree to run away with Ralph? Why am I pregnant? Somehow I was still dwelling in the dream, and I thought I might be losing my mind.The words floated in the air for a moment while I struggled to make sense of them. “My baby.” My mom came to me, rubbing my shoulder. She looked happy, but a layer of sadness hid beneath her smile. “Mom.” I turned to her. “How can it be?” “It's a good thing, my dear,” she urged me.Six weeks. I did the math in my head. Six weeks and I had no idea my body was changing, that a new life was growing inside me, or maybe I had just been too occupied with everything else to notice. Aldwin. How come everything was going in his favour? Now I was carrying his child, while nursing the pain of Ralph's disappearance which he might have a hand in. “It's a good thing,” my mom repeated, her voice soft and soothing, pulling me out of my daze.It didn't feel like a good thing, I felt

    “Ralph,” I ran into his embrace on sighting him. “Where have you been? Where did they take you to? What did they do to you? Who were they?” “Kora, Kora, calm down – I'm fine,” he said, shutting me up with a long, intentional kiss before holding my face to his. “I lost them. They'll never find me again.” His warm breath covered my face.“Oh, Ralph,” I sank into him, holding him tightly. “I thought I had lost you – I thought that was it. I was scared I might never see you again.”“I'm here now,” he said, kissing my forehead. “I'll never leave you again.” He pulled me back, staring into my eyes with a love struck gaze. “I've decided,” he added with a smile.“About what?” I asked, trying to return to his embrace, but he held me in place.“Let's leave – right now. I don't care where it might be, as long as it's with you. I don't care anymore about the job, or leaving behind all I've worked for… I just want to spend the rest of the time I've got with you, Kora. I love you.” He meant every

    “I understand that's what you heard on the call, but at the physical location, there were no traces of an ambush or abduction. His car wasn't there. There were no signs of a struggle – nothing.”My chest tightened, and It felt like I no longer knew how to breathe. “Where else could he be? He was right there. I heard him. I heard…” my voice broke.“We're expanding the search,” he continued. “Checking traffic cameras along alternate routes, looking for his vehicle, following up with hospitals in case he was injured and transported. We'll also be reaching out to Mr. Ellison to see if he has any information about their meeting this morning.”Aldwin. He knows something. He threatened him – said he would come for him. I wished I could say all of that.“We'll look into all the leads, Ms. Kora. In the meantime, if you hear from Mr. Townsend, contact us immediately.”The line went dead.I stared at the phone with my hand trembling before I let it slip from my fingers onto the bed.“No way.”

    “Yea.” I sniffed. “He had a meeting to attend.” My voice cracked. “That was why he went there.” The tears that had pooled in my eyes now flowed freely, the lie I was telling already killing me. I had the power to say Aldwin promised an attack, that Ralph went to confront him after a break-in at his house, but it also meant exposing myself as a thief, for stealing confidential documents belonging to Ellison Holdings – the almighty Ellison empire. They wouldn't let me off the hook so easily; no, I would never be free from that. Aldwin would have no reason to protect me anymore – or was he protecting his reputation? He married a lowlife who steals his business information and gives it out to her boyfriend. Whichever it was, I wouldn't be spared. “He reported a break-in at his house last night.” I added, steadying my voice as best I could. “His laptop was stolen. He had been followed for weeks. And now he's gone.” “Ma'am, I'm going to need you to provide as much information as you can.

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 82: When The Fear Gets Real

    I sat frozen on my bed, the phone still pressed against my ear even though the line had gone dead, my hands shaking as my chest felt tight – like something was crushing me from the inside. I pulled the phone away and opened the call log, the duration showed three minutes. I had been on call with Ralph for three minutes, and that was all it took for everything to fall apart. I tried calling him again, but it went to voicemail. My thumb hovered over the screen as my mind raced. I needed to do something, to call someone, but I wasn't sure who. Lisa. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind until now. I had been so focused on Ralph and what just happened, on how his voice had gradually faded and on the silence that followed, that I hadn't thought about anything else. I scrolled through my contacts and pressed Lisa's name – she picked at once. “Hey girl.” “Lisa.” My voice came out breathless. “Something happened. Something bad.” “What happened?” She didn't sound triggered at first

    In the elevator, Ralph leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. His hands shook from the frustration of being dismissed, of being told to his face that there was nothing he could do. But Aldwin had said something that didn't sit right – he said he didn't send anyone, that he didn't have to. If it wasn't Aldwin, then who broke into his house? Who had been following him for two weeks? He pulled out his phone and dialed a number he knew by heart. “I was just about to call you. Did you go? Tell me you didn't go.” “I went.” There was a brief pause. “What happened?” I asked calmly, hearing the frustration in his voice. “He said he didn't do it.” Ralph sighed in exhaustion. “The tailing, the break-in – he said it wasn't him.” “And you believe him?” He stared at the elevator doors as they slid open onto the lobby. “I don't know what to believe anymore.” He pulled out of the parking garage and hit the main road, his hands still trembling from the meeting. He needed to clear his h
