All Chapters of Despised By My Billionaire Husband : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

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

“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.

“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

That was the one question that messed with my thoughts. The baby.It sounded strange coming from him. It felt surreal, the reality that I was going to have Aldwin's child.Everything was happening fast – all the shock had come to me in a single day: Ralph goes missing, and I find out I'm pregnant. “Oh dear,” my mom said as she walked in with Lisa following behind. “You should lie down, you heard the nurse.”It weighed heavily on me to imagine that somewhere out there, Ralph was in some ugly situation, or probably dead. I couldn't hold back my tears. Right now, I was stuck with this growing baby, and I had no idea what was coming next.I felt a familiar ache in my head – it was the same one I had felt before I blanked out, except this time, the room was spinning too. I held my head, wincing from the ache.“Kora, what's wrong? Are you okay?” my mom asked desperately. “Lisa, call the nurse now!” *** The drive back to Ellison Holdings felt longer than usual, though Aldwin couldn't te

I simply nodded, not having the strength to argue anymore, and he gave me one last nod before shutting the door behind him and leaving me alone with my mom. The room felt quieter now that the doctor was gone. Lisa had left not too long ago, and I could tell from the orange light filtering through the blinds that evening had already settled in.My mom sat in the chair beside my bed, her hands folded in her lap and her eyes fixed on me with an expression that made my stomach tighten. She had been quiet for a while now, and I knew that silence meant she had questions – a lot to ask. She had been holding back since the moment I woke up to her in this room.“Kora, I need to ask you something,” she said finally, her voice soft but careful, like she was testing each word before letting it leave her mouth. “And I need you to be honest with me.”I sat up to her eye level, supporting my back on the pillow. The worry in her eyes was impossible to ignore. “What is it, Mom?”She hesitated for a mo
