Married To A Cruel Billionaire

Chapter 23. Slaps

"Mrs. Hales, we have a problem. Somebody is blocking the entry to our storage house. They said they are not leaving until they talk to the rightful general manager" Maya announced and Altagracia stood shocked.

Those goods are to be transported to New York for a new company involved in events organisation. The client ordered it to be there before seven pm today.

"What am I hearing? Let's rush there" She said and her assistant and her climbed in her violet Renault Clio.

On the other hand, Elijah received a phone call in his office and answered it.

"Mrs. Hales, we took care of your mother-in-law, now pay us what you owe us" Said a male voice at the other end of the line.

Elijah frowned.

"What are you talking about? Which mother-in-law?"

"Are you Altagracia Hales?"

"No, I'm her husband" He answered and the person cut the line. Elijah was still confused when Sharon entered his office totally panicked.

"Mr. Hales, your mother Cheyenne just had an accident from her way back to meeting a friend. She is in the hospital right now" She informed and he leaped like a lion grabbing both her shoulders before shaking her in all the directions.

"What the hell are you talking about?" He hollered and she shrank in fear.

"I tried to inform your wife, but she is not picking her phone" She said and he stormed out of his office, leaving her to deal with his business meetings.

He rushed to the hospital and saw his grandparents and Nadia sitting on a bench crying. When she saw him, she immediately dived into his arms.

"It's my fault, if I didn't call her, she would have never had that car accident. It was just in front of my house" She wailed and he held her.

"Tell me what you saw" He asked sternly but softened seeing her smudged makeup.

"Che-Cheyenne climbed in her car to leave and started her car to leave, but before she could press on the gas pedal, a black hummer ran into her side and hit her, before driving away"

"Do you remember the plaque?"

"It didn't have one. I'm so sorry" She cried harder and held onto him, he held her back just to coax her for the time being. His grandparents just watched the scene unfolding. They didn't carry Cheyenne in their heart, but didn't want her to die either. Mayra started praying in her heart while Edmund barked orders. Elijah was sitting in a corner with Nadia next to him, her head on his shoulder.

He started piecing things together. From the way his mother warned him about her, reporting all the insults she tells Cheyenne on daily basis. Then the phone call from this morning, later his mother was interned in the hospital, and she doesn't pick her phone.

A doctor came out of the operation room and walked towards them.

"Ms. Cheyenne Bruce's family?" Elijah immediately stood up and walked towards the doctor with tensed jaws.

"I'm her son"

"She needs blood and she has a very delicate blood group. O negative." Informed the doctor and they were all panicked. Edmund was compatible, but he was sick and old. He couldn't give her his blood.
