Her Secret, the Billionaire's Heir Chapter 55 - Mark/Katie
MarkWith my thoughts stuck on Casper and his sad face, I march into my family’s company and through the lobby. I nod at everyone, but I don’t give the staff my usual greetings. Whispers and murmurs float into the air, but they don’t register to me. My mind is still on my wife and sad child, wondering how I can fix everything. As I step into the elevator, my father steps in with me. “Something wrong, son? I thought you would be bouncing off the walls with happiness, but you have on a long face today.”I look beside me at him and sigh. “Casper is sad for some reason, and he won’t tell us why. Also, Katie doesn’t seem to want to slow down now that she is pregnant. She came home really late the other night from staying at the ER for a big accident. She now has a really bad case of morning sickness. I had to leave her home with medicine. She wasn’t happy with me when I called Evan and told him about it. He told her to not come into work. He would find someone else to cover t

Jack tilts his head and stares at me for a moment. “Are you sure?”I sigh and lean back in my chair. “Yeah, I’m sure. She won’t go away any other way. Show her in.”He pauses and furrows his eyebrows. The room falls silent. An uneasiness gnaws at me, but I ignore it. I raise my eyebrows and motion my head towards the door. “Show her in. I might as well get this over with right now. If I refuse, she will only come back another day.” And probably never leave.Jack stares at me for a few more moments before he shakes his head and turns around. As he walks out of the door, he mumbles something, but I can’t hear what he says. Is there something he forgot to tell me?Moments later, a flurry of footsteps rush towards my office. I take a deep breath. This is it. My fingers wrap around the chair’s armrests while I mentally chant, “This will be the last time you have to see her. You can do it.”Not that I don’t want to tell her to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine, but her f

My eyes widen and then narrow on the beautiful blonde woman almost laying across Mark’s desk. Her beige lace bra is showing, along with her large breasts, with her blouse wide open. Before my brain can function, I quickly grab Casper’s shoulders and whip him around so he can’t see the free show. Mark’s mother steps forward. Her tone is much harsher than the last time. “Tiffany, I asked you a question.” She marches forward and pulls the woman off Mark’s desk. “How dare you come into my son’s office and try to seduce him.”The young woman straightens her skirt and quickly buttons up her blouse while she shakes her head. “I don’t need to seduce him, Mrs. Gold. He is my fiancé.” Did I just hear her right? Did she say….My eyebrows shoot up as I lock my gaze on the hussy. Mark’s mother shakes her head. “What are you talking about, Tiffany? You aren’t engaged to my son. I would know if you are.”My stomach sinks and my heart twists. Did Mark lie to me? I don’t understand.

Evan steps up beside me as I walk through the hospital corridors, heading towards the ER. “Hey, are you sure you are feeling better today? If not, you can go back home. I don’t want to put your health and our patients’ health in danger.”I shake my head. “No. I’m fine. Plus, I need to get out for a bit.”The scenes from yesterday in Mark’s office play in my mind. My stomach churns, but not because of the pregnancy. This time it is churning with a mix of anger and jealousy. How dare the hussy do that to Mark. A part of me is still angry he didn’t do anything to stop her. He has apologized many times, but he has also explained to me she wouldn’t have listened to him. So, he simply backed away from her and tried to avoid her as much as possible. My eye twitches even thinking about it. Evan shakes his head and playfully replies, “Don’t tell me you can’t handle being home a day with Casper. What is going to happen if you get put on bedrest again? I’ve read through your file

I walk into the house with the cookie container in my hand. From what little crumbs I ate, they are good, but I’m on a mission right now. I need to talk to my mother and get to the bottom of this issue with Tiffany. This afternoon, I’ve raked through my brain trying to remember any little thing from our past where something was said regarding my future with Tiffany or her possibly being my wife, but I can’t find anything. My feet pound against the tile floor as I make my way towards the soft giggles and where Casper is and most likely my mother. For once, I don’t let Casper’s sweet voice ease my worries or the tension in my body. I stop in the doorway. Casper is standing on a tall chair next to the counter with a mixing bowl between him and my mother. He moves a wooden spoon around the inside of the bowl as if he is stirring something, but the bowl is empty. More sweet giggles fill the air as I stand frozen and admire the view. For a brief second, I contemplate ignoring the

I tilt my head and stare at the two most important people in my life, my husband and Casper. After a few minutes, when I don’t get a response, I ask again. “Why was Evan calling you?” Mark shifts his weight back and forth on his feet while steam rises from the pans behind him on the stove. My happy face is gone and instead, I now wear a stern one. I give Mark a pointed look and step into the kitchen. “Are you going to tell me what you and Evan were talking about? Or do I need to call him myself and pry it out of him?”I shift my gaze to our precious son and his worried look. A smile tugs at my lips as I walk towards him. “Did you have a good day?”He hesitates for a second and glances back up at his father before his concerns fade away, and his face lights up. “I had fun.” He scrunches up his face and a small pout appears as his eyes drift back to his father. “But daddy and grandma won’t let me make any more cookies today.”His sweet voice grows harsher with each word, and

MarkI march through the hallway towards my office. My heavy footsteps bounce along the walls and warn people I’m coming. The pictures of the mysterious guy talking with Katie flicker through my mind and pull me back to it every chance it can get. A weight presses down on me, but I don’t know if it is from the mysterious guy trying to find my wife or from my issue with Tiffany thinking she is going to marry me. Every time I think about Tiffany, my skin crawls. Tiffany isn’t remotely close to my image of an ideal wife. Only Katie can fill those shoes and no one else. I take a deep breath as I walk past my assistant’s desk. Jack looks up from his computer monitor while his fingers hover over his keyboard. “Your important items are on your desk. There are a few things in your email which needs to be addressed right away. I’ve marked them urgent so you can easily find them. If you have any questions, just let me know.”I slow down briefly and nod. Jack motions with his chin t

I clamp my mouth shut and force the bile back down my throat. This has been an awful morning, but the medicine is helping. I just hope my constant nausea slows down soon. I reach the ER doors at the same time the exterior door slides open, and a couple of stretchers are pushed inside with badly cut up and injured people on each of them. Blood oozes down both their faces. Their clothes are also covered in blood. The woman is semi-conscious, while the man appears to be unconscious.Little shards of glass spark under the lights and cling to their clothes. Another car accident. How many has this been this week? Like the previous ones, I might not be able to recognize most of the injured people. They have too many cuts and their faces are swollen and bruised. I take a deep breath and silently pray I can keep my churning stomach under control. The injured people need me now.I scurry over to the closest bed where the EMS worker has just stopped. “What do we have here?”As we tr

Her Secret, the Billionaire's Heir Epilogue - Katie
With a glass of sparkling cider in one hand, I carefully wipe of the crumbs from the front of my floor length formal dark red dress. The paper napkins I’m using snag on a few of the embedded jewels along the front. My frustrations bubble up as I grind my teeth together. But this little setback can’t damper my mood. This is a big night for me. I’m finally accomplishing another one of my goals and dreams. Mark waves a couple of white linen napkins in the area as he rushes towards me. “Look what I have found. Stop trying to get the food off. I’ll get it done.” His playful smile widens as he gives me a wink. “In no time, I’ll have you back looking as beautiful as ever.” I sigh and let my shoulders drop. In his black tuxedo, he bends over in front of me and very carefully wipes all the little food particles off me without smearing it across the smooth satin fabric. I glance around the venue and notice a few people giving us some questioning looks, but no one has the courage

As he opens his mouth, my parents and brother casually walk into the house. My brother’s eyes pop wide open as he looks around, taking everything in and whispers, “Wow!”My heart nearly stops and my breath hitches. What are they doing here? They don’t have anything nice to say to me. Why would Mark bring them here? Why?My smile evaporates and morphs into a frown. I shuffle backwards as I slowly shake my head. My father gives me a stern look, which also holds his usual scrutinizing eye. The one which says I’m not good enough. My chest tightens. I don’t want them here. Casper runs towards us. “DADDY! YOU ARE HOME!!” He holds his little arms wide open and leaps into his father’s waiting arms. Normally, I would smile and join them in a group hug, but I can’t take my eyes off my family. The only thing that connects us is our DNA. Nothing else they have done would be something a normal family would do. My brother ignores Casper, stilling gawking at the inside of the house
Her Secret, the Billionaire's Heir Chapter 92 - Katie
I cradle my adorable daughter in my arms as I sway back and forth. Her long dark lashes flutter as she fights to stay awake. I softly hum a tune and gently pat her bottom. Everything seems so peaceful and perfect now, but it wasn’t months ago when she was born. When I had finally woken up, I nearly had a panic attack. My pregnant belly was gone, and my precious baby was nowhere to be seen. Luckily, Mark and Casper were there at my bedside, along with his parents, making sure I knew everything was alright. Our precious little baby was with the doctors, but Mark vowed to do whatever he needs to ensure our daughter’s health. I would be lying if I said his words calmed me down. Nothing he could say would ease my nerves, but it was his calm voice and the determination in his eyes which finally settled me down. Our daughter had to stay in the intensive care unit for a few days, but she was a fighter and could soon come home. Mark’s mother steps into the room and softly asks, “Is
Her Secret, the Billionaire's Heir Chapter 91 - Katie/Mark
KatieThe past few months have been a blur. If I didn’t have constant reminders on social media about it, I might forget all about Tiffany and the nightmare she caused. I stare down at my phone on the dining room table and at the latest social media post from a friend. I shake my head and sigh. When are they going to let this end? The post has a picture of Tiffany, which I’m sure she doesn’t know someone took, where she is picking up garbage in the company’s parking garage next to the building. Her previous high-end designer clothes are nowhere to be found, and she is wearing the company’s maintenance uniform. Below her picture is a caption wondering who the designer of the classy outfit is. I roll my eyes.Tiffany is working to pay off our doctor bills without complaining. Mark’s mother is still fuming at her, but she isn’t throwing it in Tiffany’s face. Everyone else should follow that example.Mark kisses the top of my head and rubs my shoulders. “How are you feeling thi

I sip on my champagne while I raise an eyebrow, hiding my smirk behind the glass. Tiffany holds her head high and walks up to a person she thinks is me, but it isn’t. He looks similar to me, but that is where the likeness ends. Her face contorts and her mouth opens slightly, but nothing comes out. I choke down a chuckle. The decoy stares at her and grunts, “What do you want? You look like you have something you want to say to me.”She continues to stare at him for a few moments before she shakes her head. “No. I thought you were someone else. I’ll go look for him elsewhere.”Her eyes quickly scan the area. I duck behind a few other guests as she looks in my direction. It isn’t time for her to see me yet. Her gaze locks on the back of another guy on the other side of the room, who she thinks is me. I choke down another laugh. It is only going to get worse from here on out. Before she reaches the guy, he turns around, and she instantly halts in her tracks. Her face conto
Her Secret, the Billionaire's Heir Chapter 89 - Mark/Tiffany
MarkI take a deep breath as I walk into the venue with my parents, wearing the same black tuxedo I did for the charity event. Katie and Casper are home, per my request. Tonight will probably be stressful and potentially traumatizing, which neither of them need. It is best to finish this off and give Katie the details later. If things go the way I’m thinking they will, Katie should see everything through social media. In addition, Casper is still healing from the last traumatic event, and he doesn’t need another one on top of it. I could the see fear in his eyes when we were talking about tonight’s event, and there is no way I was going to put him through that and make his mental health worse. My mother pats my arm. “Are you alright?”I nod. “Yeah.”My father glances to his side at me. “Are you ready for what needs to be done tonight?”A snort slips from me. “Yes. I’m more than ready. I’m hoping everything will go according to our plan, and Tiffany will learn her lesson.”
Her Secret, the Billionaire's Heir Chapter 88 - Katie/Tiffany
KatieI sit beside Casper’s bed and stare down at him. The last few days have been a whirlwind of people and emotions. Working with the doctor and our family and friends, Casper has finally calmed down and realizes Tiffany can’t hurt him here. He feels safe at home, but the fear isn’t gone or under control. At any minute, something random might spark his fear again and he will have another panic attack or a terrible nightmare. My rage continues to bubble under the surface, just waiting for something to trip me. When I get my hands on that woman, she will find out I’m not the naïve person she thinks I am. If I do it right, I’ll instill fear in her to the point she will never think of doing something like this again. Being a doctor has advantages people wouldn’t think about.Mark walks into Casper’s bedroom. “Is he asleep?”I nod. “Yeah. I want an update, but not in here.”I turn to the young lady standing in the doorway and motion for her to come in. “Keep an eye on our bab

I tiptoe out of Casper’s room and quietly shut the door behind me. A few staff wait anxiously in the hallway. I clear my throat and turn towards them. “Someone needs to stay with him at all times right now. He is having the same recurring nightmares, and only a soothing touch will ease his mind and let him move past the dream. Do any of you want to sit with him for a bit?”All of them quickly nod their heads. I glance back over my shoulder at the closed door. “I’ll let you decide who goes in right now. Everyone must be quiet and not wake him up. I just got him back to sleep. I don’t think he slept at all last couple of nights.”They nod and look at each other, silently debating on who should go in first. My heart aches and my mind swirls. Silently, I turn and head down the stairs. I’m not sure where I’m going, but I need to do something. When I reach the bottom of the stairs, one of the staff timidly calls out, “Please, use the wheelchair.”Without looking back, I nod and
Her Secret, the Billionaire's Heir Chapter 86 - Mark/Katie
MarkI storm through the building and into my office, not bothering to acknowledge anyone along the way. If I provide any reaction, it is a grunt or a snort. There is another important issue consuming my mind, and I must address it before I can handle anything else. Though I’ve had the weekend to calm down, nothing can cool my boiling anger simmering under my skin, waiting for the right moment to explode. Employees scurry out of my way while murmurs float through the air. But no one dares to say anything loud enough for me to hear. My scowl deepens as I storm around my desk and yank my chair out. “Jack!” Before his name leaves my mouth, he is in my office and right next to my desk with his tablet in hand. “Do you need me to do anything?”My eyes dart to him. “Yeah. I need you to contact everyone who has agreed previously to work with and help me. We are ramping up the next phase of my plan.”A sinister smirk bubbles up, and I don’t bother to hide it. If I could have handl
