THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 87: Cassie’s Decision
The morning sun shone through the wide windows as Cassie sat in her art studio. Her hands rested on a glossy brochure bearing the emblem of one of the most prominent art schools in London. With a relationship that promised financial support, international visibility, and creative freedom, she was invited to extend her art center internationally—an opportunity she had never dared to imagine. But there was a hint of concern mixed with her excitement."What are you thinking about?” Nicholas's voice interrupted her train of thought.He was standing in the doorway with a hot cup of coffee when she turned to face him. Wearing one of his easygoing button-down shirts, which she loved, he appeared at ease. However, his keen gaze caught her uncertainty at once.She held up the pamphlet and added, "I got an offer." "To establish an artistic center in London." It's... enormous.”Nicholas's eyebrows raised in astonishment. After setting the coffee on the table, he approached and took a seat across

Cassie looked out the window and heard nothing but the gentle hum of the private plane. The sea of white clouds below seemed to go on forever, but her mind was anything but serene. She looked at Nicholas, who was sitting across from her, quietly determinedly browsing through his tablet.Breaking the stillness, she remarked, "I still can't believe you planned this."With a slight smile pulling at his lips, Nicholas looked up. “Cassie, you needed a vacation. Both of us did. And it was time to remind you of what life is like when things aren't chaotic.”Though his words were comforting, Cassie's uneasiness from the previous few weeks persisted. She had been troubled by the media hysteria, the reappearance of her old pictures, and Richard's threats."Where are we heading?” In an attempt to change her mind to something more lighthearted, she inquired.Nicholas grinned broadly. "You'll see."A sleek black vehicle took them to their destination a few hours after the jet landed at a small pri

The otherwise tense atmosphere in Nicholas's study was calmed by the regular sound of waves breaking on the shore. The glow of an email illuminated his face as he sat at his desk and gazed at his laptop screen. The offer was an opportunity of a lifetime. He had been called by a well-known business acquaintance, an old corporate friend, who offered to supervise a historic merger that would make Nicholas one of Europe's most influential business magnates.The catch? It required moving to Geneva for at least a year and a full-time commitment.After reading the email a third time, Nicholas reclined in his chair and clenched his fingers. His veins were filled with the old rush, the allure of the corporate war. Beneath that, though, was an uneasy pull at his chest, a reminder of the vow he had given Cassie and their twins."Daddy!"He was startled out of his reverie by the sound of tiny feet scuffing on the wooden floor. With excited expressions, Emma and Ethan rushed inside the room. Treas

Nicholas held his coffee cup and gazed at the garden as the early light streamed into the living room, bathing the wooden floor in a warm glow. He was still troubled by the news from the night before. The recent scandal wasn't as damaging as he had feared—not yet. However, it was sufficient to disturb their already precarious tranquility.Cassie entered the room quietly, her sketchpad wrapped under one arm and her hair tied back in a low ponytail. She gazed at Nicholas with a mix of resolve and worry."Any new information? About the media hysteria,” she inquired.Nicholas gave a headshake. "There is nothing we cannot manage. If we remain together, it will be resolved.”Cassie smiled slightly at him and took a seat next to him on the couch. "That's good because I've been considering something—something more significant than this whole thing."Curious, Nicholas turned to face her. "What is it?"When Cassie opened her sketchbook, she saw preliminary plans for offices, classrooms, and a s

Like all mornings, it began with a flurry of rushed footsteps, laughter, and juice spills. As Nicholas tried to control Ethan's untamed cowlick and Cassie juggled breakfast plates, Emma and Ethan ran around the living room, their laughter resonating throughout the space.As Ethan writhed away, Nicholas laughed and whispered, "Hold still, and buddy.""You're bad at this, Daddy!” When Nicholas poked his side, Ethan objected, his pout turning into a smile.Cassie looked over her shoulder, the image making her heart race. Moments like this made her realize how far they'd come as a family despite the difficulties they'd just encountered.But when Emma abruptly paused in the middle of her pursuit, her tiny hand gripping her chest, the perfect morning took a dramatic turn."Mom...” With a weak voice, she remarked, "I feel funny."Cassie was devastated. She hurried over to Emma and grabbed her before her tiny legs failed. "Hey, Nicholas!” She called, her voice laced with panic.In a moment, N

The uncomfortable calm that had descended upon the vast living room was in stark contrast to the distant bustle of the city outside Nicholas and Cassie's house. Nicholas was standing close to the fireplace, staring at the flickering flames while holding a cup of water. With her sketchbook closed on her lap, Cassie sat on the couch and watched him with a mix of hope and worry.After a minute, Nicholas remarked, "She's coming today," in a flat but tense voice.Cassie gave a nod. “What are your thoughts about it?"His jaw tightened as he turned to look at her. "I'm not sure. I've been angry with her for years, believing that she let my father act in this way. And she wants to make things right now?"She's your mom, Nicholas," Cassie said. This may be her attempt to make things right. Individuals are subject to change.”Nicholas shook his head and laughed bitterly. "Modification? Cassie watched as my father attempted to ruin everything. She never stood up for me. How can I trust someone w

A magnificent mansion turned gallery hosted the spectacular grand launch of Cassie's International Art Center in Paris. The sound of a live orchestra filled the chilly evening air as golden lights filled the expansive gardens. Art collectors, benefactors, and powerful people from all around the world wandered about in their best clothes, enjoying champagne and the artwork on display throughout the space.Cassie, wearing a floor-length gown that glistened like liquid silver, stood close to the entryway. A simple diamond necklace, a present from Nicholas, decorated her delicate neck, which was beautifully brushed up. The enormity of the occasion staggered her as she looked around the room. This was the realization of her dream.With his hand softly resting on the small of her back, Nicholas materialized by her side. Wearing a fitted black tuxedo, he looked like the ideal companion, authoritative yet encouraging.“Nervous?” In a soothing, low voice, he inquired.With her fingers fumbling

Their Parisian penthouse's floor-to-ceiling windows let in the early sun, which gave the sophisticated yet comfortable living room a golden tint. With her hands encircling a steaming mug of chamomile tea, Cassie sat on the soft couch. Her thoughts were anything but tranquil, even though the surroundings were peaceful.She had been experiencing extraordinary exhaustion and nausea for days. She had initially blamed it on stress from the foundation's dinner and the fallout from the media frenzy. However, a persistent notion started to grow in the back of her mind as her symptoms continued.She had finally followed through on it today, slipping out early to get a pregnancy test at a neighboring pharmacy. The little white stick now lay on the coffee table in front of her, its outcome hidden behind a box turned upside down.Cassie took a long breath to calm herself. She looked to the kitchen, where Nicholas was standing, making breakfast for the twins while singing quietly. Her heart filled

THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 200: The Beginning of Forever
On the balcony of their family estate, Nicholas and Cassie stood gazing out over the vast countryside they had created together, the evening air heavy with the aroma of roses in blossom. Inside, the celebration was illuminated by lights that twinkled like stars underneath them. Love and tradition were woven into every note of the music and laughter that floated up to where they stood.After breathing, Nicholas relaxed his arm around Cassie's waist and absorbed everything. Years of commitment, tenacity, and everlasting love had resulted in the magnificent palace that had once only been in a dream.Every stone and meticulously maintained garden had the mark of their voyage, which had been everything but simple but well worth every obstacle they encountered.With her head resting on his shoulder, Cassie leaned into him. "Remember the first time we stood here?” She whispered, a soft smile pulling at her lips. "All we had were ambitions and an awful lot of fear."Nicholas laughed, his tone
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 199: Preparing for the Future
Anticipation filled the conference room. The foundation and the company's top executives were waiting for their decision while Emma and Ethan stood near the head of the long, polished conference table with their parents seated beside them. This was not just another board meeting but the start of a new era in their family's history.Leaning back in his chair, Nicholas proudly observed his kids. Emma listened carefully, her poised confidence radiating across the room, while Ethan was immersed in conversation with one of their important advisors, his keen mind already planning the next moves. They were prepared—more than prepared.Under the table, Cassie, sitting beside him, gave his hand a light squeeze. He looked at her and saw the knowing smile in her eyes, the wordless recognition that they had done their duty.This resulted from the sacrifices, the late hours, and the difficult choices.They had invested years in creating this legacy grounded in purpose as much as an empire of influ
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 198: A Family Celebration
The golden glow of lanterns illuminated the large yard where the family had gathered, and the estate laughed. A big table with fresh flowers and flickering candles was arranged beneath the starry canopy. The family was celebrated tonight, far more significant than accolades or public recognition.As Emma and Ethan entered the brightly illuminated room, there was a chuckle and the sound of glasses breaking. Nicholas and Cassie, their parents, were sitting behind the opulent fireplace, their hands joined together in a silent moment of satisfaction. Their love remained steady even though they knew the marks time had left on their faces.This commemorated the pursuit they had all taken together, not simply a party. It was about the victories, defeats, risks, and constant belief that they were making something bigger than themselves.The outside world could wait for once. The warmth of shared memories and the promise of a future they had all built together replaced the burden of responsibi
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 197: The Initiative Expands to New Horizons
The meeting room was filled with activity, and the air was thick with expectation. Journalists, donors, and global leaders filled the enormous room, all gazing at the excellent platform where Emma and Ethan stood.Strong words were projected onto a massive screen behind them: The Future of Change: Expanding Our Legacy to New Horizons.Emma inhaled steadily before moving forward. She said in a determined, duty-driven voice, "Today is beyond just a declaration.” “It's a statement of our dedication to the planet and those neglected for far too long. Our endeavor is based on the principle that opportunity should not be limited, which we are bringing to reality.”She looked across the room, meeting the eyes of the advocates, leaders, and visionaries who had come to see this historic event. "We have spent years providing resources, creativity, and education to underprivileged communities.”However, the task is far from finished. Today, we are taking a daring step forward that will permanent
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 196: The Twins Mentor Others
Ethan and Emma, Cassie's twins, were ready to continue the mentorship program that Cassie and Nicholas had always wanted to establish. The project started with a few chosen youths from underprivileged backgrounds. Still, it quickly gained momentum and caught the attention of forward-thinking entrepreneurs prepared to change the world.Emma's speech weighed significantly on her shoulders. Standing before a large assembly, she inhaled deeply as she spoke. The mentees were young individuals with ambitions that would change the course of history, and her sharp yet empathetic eyes ran across their anxious faces."Leadership isn't about control," she said with a stern yet determined tone. “It's about accountability—the type that demands integrity rather than fame. It's about making decisions that will impact others who turn to you for direction, change, and hope, as well as on your journey for a long time.”“And that journey—your journey—starts here, with all of you. The question is, what k
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 195: Cassie’s Artistic Legacy
Each item in Cassie's last collection was reverently presented in the vast gallery filled with gentle golden light. As people wandered around, taking in the essence of a lifetime of talent, the room hummed with silent adoration, and the air was heavy with expectancy. Every brushstroke conveyed a tale of hope, suffering, and love. The series, appropriately named Eternal Threads, captured moments too profound for words by weaving her family's trip into rich colors and textured textures.Standing in the show's center, Cassie traced the margins of a significant canvas—a painting of entwined hands that was an abstract yet clear symbol of her family's strong tie. Nicholas stood next to her, acting like a silent anchor, as she prepared to address the crowd.Cassie took a deep breath before stepping onto a small platform at the bottom of the hall to speak when it was finally time. As she gazed out at the faces before her—critics, dealers, associates, and most importantly, family—the audience
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 194: Nicholas’s Unexpected Opportunity
The sleek lines of the contemporary furnishings and the glittering skyline beyond were illuminated by the golden streaks that the early sun poured over the tall windows of Nicholas Scott's rooftop office. With his mind racing thoughts, Nicholas sat at his desk, tapping absently with his fingers on the gleaming wood. He had never gotten an email like the one that was open on his computer.An invitation.This was not merely an invitation but an opportunity to become a member and leader of a global alliance aimed at incorporating sustainable business practices into all sectors of the economy. The United Nations and several world business leaders supported the project looking for someone with expertise, influence, and creative thinking. Nicholas has been creating legacies and influencing industries for the previous few years, but this? This presented a chance to reshape the future globally.He felt his heart thumping more than it had in a long time.He had spent years trying to balance hi
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 193: A Milestone Achievement
Under an arrangement of golden chandeliers, the enormous auditorium of the global gala glistened with warm, dazzling waves of light radiating off its marble-polished floor and crystal-clad decor. A beautiful orchestra of hope was in the air as philanthropists, creators, and entrepreneurs worldwide came for the annual Global Philanthropy and Arts Award. The Scott-Hart Foundation eventually received this award, which is granted to institutions that have improved artistic innovation and social effect after years of tenacious efforts.A dining area decorated with luxurious turquoise satin shining in the chandeliers' gold light in the center of the award hall. The expressions on the faces of Cassie, Nicholas, Emma, and Ethan were a combination of pride, excitement, and the unshakable faith that had carried them this far. They sat quietly but firmly. What had begun as a daring notion—a daring wager on the power of art and altruism—had grown into a project that significantly impacted several
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 192: The Twins Face Challenges
There was tension in the Scott Foundation's headquarters boardroom. The twins Emma and Ethan sat at the table with stiff expressions and implied contempt. Consultants, department supervisors, and other significant stakeholders were crammed into the conference room, looking at one another as they discussed the subsequent phase of the work they had put so much effort into.Emma stated, "This expansion is necessary," calmly yet assertively. "We possess the means to expand our sustainability initiatives globally. Beyond our existing reach, we can truly make an effect. Why are we hesitating at all?""Emma, it's no hesitation. It's a tactic. We may become susceptible if we grow too quickly without strengthening the basis. Before going too far, we must ensure our current programs are stable."As the advisors exchanged cautious looks, a murmur echoed around the room. There was tension between the twins, who had never argued so openly.Emma bent over. Ethan, “We aren't weak. We've established
