Billionaire's Substitute Bride and Her Secret Child Chapter 11
In his dimly lit room, Ethan tossed and turned, unable to sleep a wink. His mind raced with unlikely scenarios, keeping him awake. For the past two days, he had tried everything he could think of to bring his Mommy and Daddy closer, but his attempts had failed miserably. A frown twisted his adorable features, making him look even more cute than usual, if that was possible. Since the unfortunate incident with his teacher, Christine had avoided any unnecessary contact with Hunter. She managed to outsmart every effort Ethan made to bring them together. At least things had settled down at school. After his Mommy had a conversation with the principal, which probably included some unspoken threats, or so he believed, the teacher apologized in front of Ethan's entire class for the misunderstanding she caused. She claimed that she had mistaken his father for another man, but even the little boy knew it was a lie. She had to comply with this request to keep her job, enduring only a three-mo

On the terrace, Christine and Loukas were having breakfast while Hunter had a meeting with a client, and Ethan was still sleeping peacefully like a little angel. "I wanted to ask you something, Christine," Loukas announced, his serious expression overshadowing their casual conversation as he sipped his rich espresso. "You can ask me anything, you know that," Christine replied, curious about the change in Loukas' demeanor. Loukas waited for the maids to set the tray of warm croissants and fresh sliced fruits on the table, ensuring their privacy before continuing the conversation. His hesitance indicated the importance of what he was about to discuss. "Since you and Hunter will be working together for a long time, I need to know how you feel about him," Loukas finally revealed, catching Christine off guard. Her heart raced, and she struggled to catch her breath, feeling as though her heartbeats were amplified for everyone nearby to hear. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. She took a sip o

In his office, Hunter was preparing for the crucial meeting with the CEO of Ada Corp. This particular client held the potential to invest a staggering five billion in the Smart Home Project, making it imperative to secure that capital. Although Hunter knew that prioritizing the business proposal should be at the forefront of his mind, his devious thoughts had other plans. The image of Christine kept invading his mind, clad in that alluring nightgown, her disheveled hair adding to her irresistible charm. Even in her absence, he could vividly picture her, her flushed cheeks betraying her embarrassment. Her hazel eyes, adorned with scattered flecks of gold and green, seemed to beckon him, enticing him in ways that consumed his thoughts. The curves of her body promised nights of passion and sleepless gratification, igniting a desire in him that hadn't been stirred in years. Hunter knew he needed to snap out of this seductive reverie, but how could he resist when Christine looked so dam

Christine dropped Ethan off at school. Her little angel had been in a gloomy mood for days, and his sadness tugged at her heartstrings. She was determined to find a solution to cheer him up. However, the situation bothered her so much that it became challenging for her to focus on her work. There was nothing she couldn't endure, except for watching her precious boy feel so low spirited. It broke her heart into pieces and made her question her abilities as a mother. She believed that Ethan's classmates must have caused him harm again. Children can be ruthless when adults fail to educate them properly. Exiting the car, Christine walked over to open the door for Ethan. She crouched down in front of him, gently lifting his chin with her fingers. "Look, baby, what do you say if we invite all your classmates to a garden party after school? Our backyard is large enough to host even a wedding, and it's Friday, after all. I'll take half a day off from work since I've had a busy week anyway,"

It was already Monday morning, and Hunter had a jam-packed schedule for the day. However, his mind was elsewhere, flooded with memories from the garden party. The image of a loving family tugged at his heartstrings, a long-held aspiration that had remained unresolved. His previous marriage had ended before he could fulfill his deepest desire, and Martha was never inclined towards it either. But then Christine entered his life with her adorable and intelligent son, becoming a precious gift bestowed upon him. If only she would accept him. Last Friday had been a teaser, offering a glimpse of the blissful life he could have. The boy, the flowers he had given Christine, the shared kiss—they all left a memorable impression on him. The warmth of Christine's body mixed with the subtle tremor he had felt while holding her in his arms was incredibly intimate, consuming his thoughts. The combination of anger and desire reflected in her eyes was evidence of the passion that burned within her, a

In her room, Christine was meticulously applying her makeup as she prepared for her date with Hunter's brother. She had a feeling that she would be scrutinized closely before leaving the house, so she decided to give extra attention to her appearance, not wanting to disappoint. Once she was fully satisfied, she stepped into her cropped jeans and black tank top, taking another appreciative glance in the mirror. It was a refreshing change to wear something age-appropriate, and she had Simon to thank for that. His casual style had convinced her to forgo her usual stiff business attire, and in that moment, she felt youthful again. After all, she was in her twenties. "Mommy, Mommy, are you really dating my uncle?" Ethan burst into her room, visibly agitated, his face furrowed with concern. "Sweetheart, Mommy is just having dinner with a friend," she declared, soothingly running her fingers through his soft hair in an attempt to calm him down. However, he remained unsettled. "How could y

Simon noticed the shift in her demeanor, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine worry. "Ethan," she replied, her own voice sounding foreign and weak to her ears. The shock of the news left her feeling numb. Guilt consumed her, tearing at her insides. She labeled herself a bad mother, overwhelmed by the realization that she had been enjoying a date while her son was in pain. Had he been suffering even before she had left home? How could she have failed to notice? The thought tortured her, shattering her self-perception as a responsible and attentive parent. "What happened to Ethan?" Simon pressed, his concern deepening. "I need to go," she declared, her voice trembling with urgency, as she swiftly made her way off the yacht and toward her car, ignoring Simon's presence. "Wait! I'll drive!" he called after her, reaching out to grab her wrist. Her body trembled slightly, not from his touch, but from the overwhelming emotions c

Night melted into morning, and the time had come for Ethan to be discharged from the hospital. He had slept peacefully, like the angelic child he was, satisfied that his plan had worked like a charm. However, his Mommy, Christine, hadn't been as fortunate. Restlessness consumed her, her emotions a turbulent mix of distress, fleeting moments of ease, and torment. Despite her attempts to brush it away, she couldn't shake the feeling that Ethan had orchestrated his illness on purpose. And then there was Hunter's presence, intoxicating yet accompanied by painful memories. Some of those memories weren't entirely painful, but she kept that locked away as her own secret. Hunter, perhaps even more overjoyed than Ethan, stole glances at Christine whenever the opportunity presented itself, unaware that she did the same when he wasn't looking. Being in her company, along with her child, felt undeniably right to him. The intimate setup brought him immense pleasure, even amidst the troubling cir

Unbearable silence was engulfing the room, there were only Christine, Hunter and Loukas left. Elenora was practically dragged outside by the police, while she shouted and threatened all the way to the car.

Certainly, her being punished was bound to bring some sort of satisfaction, but that didn’t change the past, the hurt and desolation that she felt because of that horrible woman. And to find out the shocking truth about her biological father, a truth that Elenora knew from the very start, that was… Well, that was backstabbing at a whole new level.

Reaching a hand out to Jake, she leaned on him for support for a few good seconds.In all honesty, it would have been less painful if someone would have pulled her heart out and stabbed the poor organ with a million daggers.“Is it true?” Anger and hurt were burning in her eyes. “TELL ME!” She cried out, walking to where Loukas was standing and clamping her fingers in his jacket.He met her accusing regard with silence, yet his entire demeanor was suggesting he was guilty.“Why are you quiet?

A press conference was scheduled by Fame Media to publicly apologize for sharing unverified information that led to undeserved public slander.

A low moan sounded in his chest, it was all the approval he needed in order to ravish her, to appease the hunger that screamed to be gratified. Intoxicated with lust, their hands were roaming freely on each other’s body, while their tongues battled for dominance. Erotic moans filled the room, and they didn’t even start the love making session properly.It was just the warm up. There was no more reluctance, only complete surrender to their sexual cravings, their need for each other. It was when Hunter settled his manhood to her entrance that they suddenly stiffened. There was some noise outside the room. Footsteps. Then the door opened widely and a small silhouette appeared near the bed. Rubbing his eyes, he climbed into the bed, his eyes darted from his mommy to his daddy in confusion. It was the nightmare of any parents, to be caught red handed by their child. Good thing that they were covered by the sheets. “Mommy, w

Christine made several attempts in reaching Hunter, but his phone was off, her calls going directly to voicemail. ‘Weird. I hope everything is fine.’ Pacing the room, making holes in the floor, the tension was building up inside, eating her alive. What if something happened? He should have delivered her child by now. Her intuition told her that something was off. Or maybe she was just nervous, it was understandable, after all she went through. In the wake of such an excruciating day, she needed to have Ethan in her arms, he was her most prized possession, her pride and joy. Stealing glances through the window from time to time, she finally spotted Hunter getting out of the car, then scooping a sleepy handsome boy in his arms. The boy’s small arms locked behind his daddy’s neck. It was an image that pulled at her heartstrings, sweet and sour at the same time. She breathed a sigh of relief, the claw that was squeezing her hea

For a few good seconds, it seemed as if time stopped for Hunter. Air was suddenly kicked out of his lungs, he even forgot how to breathe. His chest tightened as he fought with the suffocating sensation.His mind was a mess, his thoughts all over the place, experiencing a roller-coaster of sensations.‘Martha lied to me all our life together!’‘Christine might have lied to me as well…’‘This child in front of me is possibly mine...’His eyes shut close. ‘Who am I kidding?

Left by herself, Elenora sneered, staring at the text from Christine with a sulky expression.‘Take all my money? How dare that wretched girl threaten me? It’s more likely for hell to freeze than her winning against me!’A vein became visible on her forehead, as if cutting it in half, while her entire demeanor was turning murderous. ‘I’d rather kill her with my own two hands than lose this battle!’Glaring at the phone angrily, she typed [“Aren’t you afraid that I will reveal who is the father of that devil kid of yours?”]‘I know all your weaknesses, Christine! Each and every one of your vulnerabilities are within my reach! You should be scared of me! You damn should!’She was looking forward to the reply, but to her enjoyment, it didn’t come through.
