STALKING THE BILLIONAIRE DEVIL のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

[IXORA'S HOUSE]"Check the CCTV footage. I know whoever did this wanted me to back out of the election. It must be one of the opposition parties," Georgia said and hung up the call.Since they got back from the campaign ceremony, she had been making unending calls. She would do anything in her power to get to the root of those trying to bring her down in the election.Ixora stood in a quiet corner, looking at her mother as she paced around. Her palms were folded against her phone as she recalled what happened at the ceremony.****[FLASHBACK]"Mom!" she screamed and knelt beside her mother."Somebody call the ambulance! Mom, open your eyes!" she placed her hand under her mum's head.Georgia's eyelids flickered open as she darted her gaze around."Mum!" Ixora helped her sit up.Georgia coughed."Get me water!" Ixora yelled.The water was handed to her."Here, drink this," she said, uncorking the water and helping her mother drink it."Ma'am, what happened to you? How did you end up her

And that was it. The silence filled the room again. From the corner, Drexton stood, his lips curled up into a dark smirk.This was what he wanted. Now let the real game begin."Hello!" Hazel called but got no response."I answered all your questions, so give me my money".Still no response."Hello!" she frowned.And then, the lights came on. Hazel gasped at seeing Ixora in front of her."Hazel," Ixora muttered.They both stood face-to-face. Ixora's eyes were wide open while Hazel stared at her like she wasn't the one who had revealed a big secret just now. She knew it was going to come out, but she didn't expect Ixora to find out when her plan hadn't even worked yet."Tell me what you just said was only my illusions, and I promise I will forget about it," Ixora whispered in a trembling voice.Hazel darted her gaze around. Nobody was in the house except for her and Ixora. Her eyes met with Ixora's own before her lips curled into a snarl."It's the truth...my truth," Hazel smirked.Ixora

[DREXTON'S PRIVATE HOUSE, SCAN ROOM]The scan room—a room that had all Ixora's life on just a big screen. From her house to Hazel's and even her favorite places, he knows about them and sees them all. But today, it wasn't the same. He had checked all the places that had her daily life...she wasn't there. He was watching her from his office in the morning.He knew she had called the hospital, got bored at home to the point of hoping to get a text from him. He could have played with her a little bit if he didn't have an important meeting by 9. He only stopped watching her for three hours, and now, he had no idea where she might have gone.His expression was the same as he fixed his gaze on the car that was driving into her house. He had known so much about her to know that the car did not belong to any of the Castellans. The door opened, and James Miller stepped out while Ixora joined him, looking like she had the time of her life.He heard her thanking him while James just smiled. J

[IXORA'S HOUSE]The door creaked open, and Blake walked in. He rested his back on the door, a smile on his face as he watched Ixora still dancing crazily to the music.This time, Ixora was no longer chanting about Drexton. Her arms were spread apart, while her hips swayed to the rhythm of the music. She had loosened her bun and was shaking her hair crazily. Blake cleared his throat, announcing his presence.Ixora spun around and saw him. "Oh," she muttered, pausing the music."You should have knocked," she said, uncorking the bottled water."I did. You were so engrossed that you didn't hear me," Blake sat beside her."Hmm," she muttered, gulping a large amount of water."And besides, I wouldn't have entered if you were naked. I'm a good boy," he said and winked at her.Ixora rolled her eyes, placing the water on the table."So, tell me why you were so happy?" Ixora's mind drifted to Drexton. "When you haven't seen your worst nightmare for two days, it's worth celebrating," she mumbl

Hazel tightened her arms around her. Tight. Too tight.Ixora breathed, hitched. The strain etched itself into every line of her body."H...Hazel," Ixora breathed."You are rich," Hazel began. "Pretty. Intelligent. Curvy. People's favorite. Stole my mum, and also the only man I've ever wanted."Ixora's smile faltered as she broke the hug."Hazel," she muttered, almost unsure."Yes, Ixora Castellan," she said through clenched teeth, her hand going to her back pocket."You are a fool to think I wanted to be friends with you. I hate you with my blood, sweat and tears. I will make sure I rip you off everything you love. I stabbed my mother to death—" a slap flew across her cheek.Her face turned the other way."You are lying! Aunt is still alive!" Ixora yelled, tears slipping down her cheeks.Hazel smirked, pressing her inner cheek with her tongue."I'm not here for jokes, sweetie". Hazel smiled."Believe it or not, your dear Aunt Maria is...."She leaned closer, "Dead".Hazel moved backw
