Xavier's POVMy feelings are all over the place and I have no strength left to deal with this shit. Early this morning I left Leah home without an explanation. I shouldn't have but I did it and Instantly regretted it. While on my way here, I almost turned back to pick her but I changed my mind. My hope is this sign will put her mind straight so that she opens up. The most painful thing is finding out about a secret from an enemy and clearly, she has a number of them.Looking at the phone calls, the events, and the surprise visits all seem to be a message to silently threaten her but I don't understand why she has decided to fight this on her own. Today's board meeting is tough but I decided to let Leah take the lead so she can show her skills. Am very well aware that the has been working on an investigation and had all footage from the last ten years sent to her. I don't know if she went through them or found something solid but I trust her and that is enough for me. The atmosphere

Leah's POV My heart beats at an abnormal rate as I watch Xavier walk to the elevator. Even in his scary state, he looks incredibly hot and the reminder of carrying his child warms my heart as I hold my tummy forgetting that I am still at the office for a moment. I walk to the car park silently planning how I will open up to Xavier tonight. The thought is making me uncomfortable but I can't keep feeling this way. He might not trust me in the future. I have to come clean and he has to hear it from me. With that conviction, I pull out my phone and text him. "Can we talk this evening?"I enter the car and sit as I wait for his response. "Are you ready to go Ma'am?""No, not yet, just a moment."Staring at my phone for a new text, I discover that he hasn't responded and my heart sinks.Maybe he is just busy.Not convinced enough, I send a follow-up message. "I have some news to share. But first I need to tell you something else. Please respond."Nothing.Tears threaten to spill, as I f

Xavier's POV I stare at Kendra as she drops a bomb on me. Standing confidently outside my office she smiles as though she just gave me news about Christmas. What does she mean Leah is pregnant?I am not shocked because we talked about it and I really want a child. Yes, the baby boy will save my company but what if it turns out to be a girl? I haven't thought about it along those lines and I feel like an asshole for thinking of my flesh and blood as a way of stabilizing my wealth."I know." I lie straight to her face without even thinking twice about it."Do you?" she asks while cocking her eyebrow as if calling me for my bullshit but that's my business and I don't want anyone else in it."Is that why you rushed all the way here? To tell me that my wife is pregnant?" "Yes, it's great news. I wanted to share it with you in person."A few weeks ago I would have even smiled back at her because I was quite fond of her but not anymore. I am more aware of her intentions since Leah mentione

Leah's POV A feeling of horror is what I feel the moment my eyes snap open finding myself in a hospital bed. As I look at the doctors and Xavier, everything that happened previously hit me in a split second and I realize I haven't yet told him about my pregnancy and I don't want him to hear about our baby from the doctors. But looking at their faces right now makes me even more worried.Did something happen? How did I find myself in the hospital?As if to answer my question, a flood of memories from the previous night flooded my mind.Oh no!“I am sorry Mr and Mrs Kings, but we couldn't save the baby. From the results we can see that she took strong alcohol on an empty stomach and when she passed out someone wrongly administered Diclofenac…..” I don’t even finish hearing his statement and my mind zones off.Tears run down my face as I don't even know where to start.Xavier will never forgive me. Not only did I recklessly lose the child, but I also have a mountain of secrets piled up.

Xavier's POV Two weeks have passed since I found my wife in a coma. It saddens me that we had lost our child and not only because the child was going to stabilize my legacy. As I sit in my office, I can't help but think about how Leah is doing back at home. Avoiding the pain that comes with it, I haven't decided what to do or how to react because a part of me feels like punishing her for being reckless. Fighting within myself, the vibration of my phone pulls me out of my zone. I stare at the screen and Santino's name pops up sending a rush of anger inside me. I ignore it.But he doesn't stop calling, and after the fifth ring, I decided to pick up."Xev man, look I am so sorry about what happened. It is all my fault for bringing Sandra over. I am truly sorry."For a long time now, I have never allowed anyone to be as close to me as Santino and he too is only close enough to speak freely around me. But after the stunt his fuck buddy pulled, I cut him off."Look, give me a chance to ma

Xavier's POV Walking into the meeting, I am fueled by anger. For a moment I wonder if at all they are the same ones behind my father's death and lord help me if I find even one thread of the truth. I find everyone sitting in their usual spots and I take my seat at the head. My eyes meet with Dante and I can see the hate in his eyes but where his feelings end is where mine begin. They will all pay. "Good morning.""Good morning.""Let me not waste anyone's time, I am sure we are all busy.’’‘’Yes, please do share what the purpose of the meeting is.”’ Dante says in a mocking tone.Motherfucker! ‘’I am not here to discuss, I am here to notify everyone here that as we speak right now the administration at the hospital is changing and Doctor Kendra who most of you are familiar with is fired.’’‘’What do you mean?!’’ Dante asks, slightly rising from his seat. Bingo! The reaction I was looking forward to. ‘’Why? You don’t like the idea?’’‘’You are ungrateful, you will pay for this!’’

Leah's POV I stare in horror as Xavier points the gun right into John's heart. My greatest fear has been getting him involved in my mess and no matter how hard I have tried it has been difficult because these people just won't let me be. As soon as Dave picked me up a few hours ago, I was so disturbed that my thoughts were not in place. I didn't even realize that I was in a moving car until my phone vibration brought me back to reality. Staring at my screen, I realize the one calling me is Sandra and I frown. I am not ready to speak to her. Her influence contributed to the loss of my child but then she meant well so I shouldn't blame her too much. The constant debate keeps me locked in a web of confusion. "Hello?""Hi hun, how are you today?""I just lost my child Sandra, how do you think I am?""I know and you don't know how sorry I am. There is nothing I can do to make it up to you?""How about giving me a new baby?""Why not just make a new one?" she laughs.Her free spirit des

After all the unresolved issues I thought we should stay happy for a while and address them later. I can't imagine the possibility of life without her. This moment made me realize that I love her. Whatever secrets she may have, I can forgive her. Just stay alive, please. "I need you to find her and bring her back!" I bark into the phone, my voice betraying the fear I felt inside. "We're on it," Santino assures me. "We'll use every resource at our disposal and we are tapping her location through her ring." But I don't feel reassured. Who did this? We have too many enemies.

The room feels distant as if I'm viewing this heart-wrenching scene through a fog of numbness. The air is thick with the acrid scent of gunpowder, a reminder of the violence that has unfolded before me. But amidst the chaos, a new voice rises—a voice that trembles with a pain that mirrors my own. Sandra's cries cut through the suffocating silence, her anguished sobs a haunting symphony of regret and despair. "No! No, I didn't want this! Xavier, I didn't want to kill you!" Sandra's voice is a broken wail, each word carrying the weight of a thousand shattered dreams. She falls to her knees beside Xavier's still form, her hands hovering over his body as if unable to touch him, to bridge the chasm between them. Her cries are a collision of emotions, a torrent of love and torment that fill the room. She speaks of a love that has festered

Leah's POV Am extremely exhausted and everything seems to be working against me. I haven't eaten for two days and being pregnant doesn't make it any easier. Somehow it feels like my brain is playing games with me but it seems this is reality. Confusion mingles with my fear as I try to make sense of her cryptic words. "Xavier? What does he have to do with any of this?" Sandra's eyes gleam with a mixture of pain and resentment as if she's revisiting a memory that still haunts her. "You have him now, don't you? The man who shattered my world." My heart skips a beat, pieces of a puzzle falling into place. "Wait, you and Xavier…?" Sandra's laughter is a bitter echo in the dimly lit room, devoid of any real mirth. "We used to be close, good friends. But one night, in the midst of drunken haze, he… he took my virginity. I thought it meant something, that maybe there was something more between us." My eyes widen, disbelief mingling with sympathy for the woman before me. The revelation
Billionaire's Sweetheart Chapter Sixty three
Leah's POV The cold, hard ground presses against my knees as I huddle in a dim corner of the warehouse. The stolen phone I've managed to secret away is my only connection to the outside world, my lifeline in this web of darkness that Sandra has woven around me. As the minutes stretch into an agonizing eternity, my fingers tremble as they punch in the numbers. The phone's screen casts a faint glow on my face, a glimmer of hope amidst the shadows that surround me. My heart hammers in my chest as the call connects. I try to be as low as possible not knowing where Sandra is or who she has left to watch over me. My voice wavers, a mix of desperation and fear as I try to convey the urgency of my situation without alerting Sandra to my actions. Every second feels like an eternity as I wait for him to answer, my desperation growing with each passing ring. "Hello?" His voice cuts through the darkness like a lifeline. "Xavier!" I breathe, relief flooding through me just at the sound of hi

Xavier's POV As we sit Many things run through my mind and right at this moment what will follow next will determine how fucked up I am. I remain silent as he continues with his explanation. "But," Santino continues, his voice catching, "things changed. Sandra's feelings for you... they evolved into something beyond friendship. She fell hard for you, Xavier. And when you started dating Alexandra, it devastated her." ''But how did you not recognize her or were you protecting her all along?'' ''No, not at all. I would never do that to you.'' The revelation hits me like a punch to the gut. I have been completely unaware of Sandra's feelings, of the turmoil brewing beneath the surface I would never be with her but at least I would have been more alert not to be caught by surprise. Santino's eyes hold a mixture of regret and pain as if he was sharing a secret he had carried for far too long. ''Did you love her?'' I ask. ''This one we see Yes I had some feelings but the Sandra am talk
Billionaire's Sweetheart Chapter Sixty one
I stood there amidst the flashing cameras and the eager chatter of reporters, my eyes fixed on Sandra as she confidently accepted the title of Chief Financial Officer of King Tech. A wave of disbelief surged through me, accompanied by a sharp pang of anger. This was not how things were supposed to go down. But I couldn't let my emotions show, not in front of the media. As the applause and questions filled the room, I forced myself to maintain a composed exterior. Inside, however, a tempest of thoughts raged. How had she managed to orchestrate this so perfectly? How had she manipulated the board, the media, and even my closest allies to ensure her rise to power? I had always known Sandra was ambitious, but I never fathomed the extent of her ruthlessness. It was a bitter realization that left a bitter taste in my mouth. The company that I had poured my heart and soul into was slipping through my fingers, and there she stood, the orchestrator of it all, basking in the spotlight what was
Billionaire's Sweetheart Chapter Sixty
Xavier's POV The tension in the boardroom is palpable as I sit at the head of the long table, facing the board members and executives who once stood by my side. But now, their expressions are a mix of doubt and suspicion. I can sense the shift in the dynamics, the undercurrents of betrayal that have infiltrated even the closest of my allies especially when I had frozen the accounts. I called this emergency meeting to address the recent allegations and scandals that have rocked our company. The media storm, the accusations, and the subsequent investigation had caught us off guard. I had been working tirelessly to salvage our reputation, find the truth and clear our name. But now, facing these once loyal faces, I can't shake the feeling that something has changed. So much is piling up and now there is no certainty on who can be trusted. Mr. Kings," Robert one of the founding partners speaks up, his tone cautious. "We're concerned about the impact this scandal is having on the compa

Leah's POV As I wake up in the morning, I find the space beside me in bed empty. Xavier must have already left for work, not wanting to disturb my much-needed rest. I appreciate his concern, but I wish he had woken me. I hate feeling like he's carrying all of this alone. I push myself out of bed, still feeling the exhaustion from the events of the previous day and the pregnancy was not helping not that I'm complaining. The scandal, the accusations, and the constant media attention have taken a toll on me. I make my way to the kitchen, craving a cup of warm tea to soothe my nerves. Just as I'm pouring the water, my phone rings. I pick it up and see a familiar number flashing on the screen. Curiosity gets the better of me, and I answer. She still has a lot of questions to answer anyway. "Hello?" Her voice on the other end sounds broken, sobbing softly. Sandra rarely cries, so something about this feels off. "Leah," she manages to choke out between sobs, "it's Sandra. I need your he

Xavier's POV Leah falls asleep on the way back home, her exhaustion evident after the emotional rollercoaster we had been through. As I watch her peaceful expression, my mind still racing with thoughts. Emily's revelation about Kendra being the mastermind behind the scandal has shaken me to my core. But there was something else that was bothering me, a lingering suspicion that I couldn't shake off. Especially the stunt pulled the time she came to my house and at the funeral. Sandra's sudden involvement and determination to help us had set off alarms in my mind. Her connection to Emily, her knowledge of the scandal, and the way she was pushing us to pursue this investigation all seemed too convenient. Could she really be as innocent as she portrayed herself to be? Last I recall she was Leah's assistant who I fired. What I expect is anger, not help for Fucks sake! Once we were back home, I carefully carry Leah to our bedroom and tuck her in. She stirs slightly but doesn't wake up. I
Billionaire's Sweetheart Chapter Fifty Seven
I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the pregnancy scandal than meet the eye. The timing was too perfect, too convenient. I had to find out who was behind this, who wanted to tear us apart. But then this war began before I was even in the picture but I will not let anyone harm my child again even if it means killing again I will do it. I pick up my phone and dial Xavier's number. He answers after a couple of rings. "Leah, I'm on my way to you," he says, his voice carrying a mix of concern and urgency. "Xavier, we need to talk," I reply, my tone resolute. "I know, baby. We will talk as soon as I get there." "No, Xavier, this can't wait. I need to know who's behind that scandal. The timing is too suspicious." There is a moment of silence on the other end of the line. "Leah, I have my suspicions too. I'll be there soon, and we'll figure this out together." As I hung up, a knock on the door interrupts my thoughts. Sandra stands there with a determined expression.
