Lahat ng Kabanata ng Valentine's Vows; Love, Lies And A Fake Engagement : Kabanata 161 - Kabanata 170

JOSH'S POV    The earth stopped rotating for a minute. I staggered back a few steps; my eyes were locked on hers like she had just stabbed me through my chest.   I opened my mouth to breathe as my nostrils and my lungs stopped functioning. My mouth even went dry; the air in the room felt poisonous and thick, and I could barely breathe.   "Annie.....wha...what did...It's a...It's a lie." My voice was hoarse, completely foreign to my own ears.   "I'm not lying," her lips trembled as she repeated the words. "The child is for your father......your dad, the....the chairman," she stuttered.    "What? What did you just say?" I whispered. I couldn't bring myself to believe her, but she didn't sound like she was lying. &nb

KEVIN'S POV My legs wobbled as I walked out of the office. Had Trisha really pulled that move or did Alex just play a trick on me?I shook my head; that wasn't even the problem; I was enraged with the imposter talk he sounded so confident about.Finally, my legs carried me to my car. I didn't remember most of the drive, it was a miracle to have driven in that state of my mind.I didn't remember what had happened during the drive, the only thing I remembered was the pounding in my chest and the heat crawling up to my neck.I also remembered clutching the steering wheel so tight that my knuckles turned white.My breath was loud, too loud, yet it didn't drown the question in my head. "Was I really not a Wolfe?"I remembered the meeting we had with the chairman, this was what he meant."Who the fuck is my father?" I slammed my fist repeatedly on the steering wheel.Alex had insulted me, not just that, but threatened me too.I burst into the Wolfe's mansion like a storm ripping through th

KEVIN'S POV She turned to me, her eyes wild with fury, resentment and desperation."What has come over you? Why did you push him this far? What did you even say to him?"I scoffed. "Are you worried about him or about who will sign the documents for your son? Oh, spare me the theatrics, Emily; if he was so weak that a few truths could kill him, then he wasn't fit to lead in the first place."She dialled a number hurriedly, while some maids rushed in to help the chairman to his feet."I'm sorry I didn't raise you myself," she sobbed."It would have been worse," I muttered. "Suit yourself." With that, I walked away, leaving her with the maids.I fought within myself whether to tell her that everything had been transferred to me or just surprise her tomorrow.I prayed the chairman would live; it would be more fun if he announced me himself, then I would deal with Alex and make sure he wasn't able to speak about whatever evidence it was that he had.The entire house was in total pandemoni

ALEXANDER'S POV I stared at Kevin, my whole being daring him to expose the Wolfe family just as he had said. I had made up my mind to beat him to a pulp if he dared to share sensitive information with the public.His eyes darted around like a man cornered, but I knew better than to believe that look, Kevin wasn't cornered. That sly snake had prepared carefully for this moment, though the questions had thrown him off balance a little.I sat there with my fist ready to feast on his jaw if he said something stupid.The press pushed even harder. "Mr Kevin, was the chairman under any medication when he sighed the papers? Did he willingly relinquish control after rejecting you publicly or was he coerced?""If you aren't a Wolfe just as Director Laura had said, what legal claim do you really have?"Slowly Kevin held the mic with shaky hands and flashed his not so white teeth. "You all ask questions like gossip bloggers. The only thing that matters is that I have the documents, signed, seal

KEVIN'S POV I suddenly felt uncomfortable. The chairman was looking really sick yesterday; how then was he looking this healthy now? Didn't he collapse before my eyes? What then, is happening?When I announced he had dementia, I had expected a completely different reaction. He was calm, too calm for the situation we were in."I will begin," the chairman said. I knew I needed to sit, but I was scared. I swallowed hard feeling heat creep up my neck."I would first like to address what Kevin here said about my mental health. Kevin," he called quietly. "Please show everyone here proof that I have dementia."I stiffened. He is not serious, he couldn't be."Did you not hear me? Please show the crowd evidence that I have dementia."I forced a small chuckle and took a few steps forward. Quickly, I leaned in close enough for only him to hear. "What are you doing? Don't let me tell them you are the father of the son of your son's ex, don't you think you might be stoned to death?"I moved away
