THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 95: The Legacy of Love
A warm, golden glow from the early morning sun illuminated the Nicholas-Scott estate's expansive lawn. The twins' laughing filled the crisp air as Cassie stood on the patio and watched them toddle after one another. She felt a great feeling of calm at the sight, yet the weight of what had happened to her remained.Shortly after, Nicholas joined her, putting his arms around her waist while they looked out at their kids. His calm heartbeat reminded them that they were all in this together, no matter what obstacles they encountered."What are your thoughts?” In a soft, calming voice, he inquired.With her hand naturally resting on her expanding belly, Cassie leaned into him. "I've been considering what we're constructing here, not only the art center or the foundation but also for our family. What sort of legacy will we leave for the infant and the twins?”With his chin grazing her shoulder, Nicholas nodded. "I've also been considering that. I want to make sure kids understand what truly

The piercing ring at the doorbell broke the still morning at the Nicholas-Scott mansion. Cassie, who was in the living room arranging flowers, looked puzzled toward the front door. Anyone who knew them well would typically phone ahead, and they weren't anticipating guests.With a grimace on his face, Nicholas came out of his study and made his way to the door. Cassie trailed behind, using a dish towel to wipe her hands.The last person they anticipated was on the threshold as Nicholas opened the door. Nicholas's estranged father, Charles Scott, appeared older and more worn than when they had last seen him. His normally commanding demeanor became muted, almost depressed, as lines of sorrow softened his once sharp features.Nicholas said, "Dad," in a startled and cautious tone.Charles answered, his voice hoarse with unsaid passion, "Hello, son." He nodded as his eyes moved to Cassie. "Cassie."Unsure of how to react, Cassie gripped the towel tighter. Charles had left pandemonium in his

Tension hummed through the Nicholas-Scott estate office. With papers strewn all over his desk, Nicholas sat. In two weeks, his foundation project—a ground-breaking program to assist impoverished artists and entrepreneurs—was about to debut, but an unforeseen setback derailed their preparations.Nicholas's jaw tightened as he gazed at the city zoning board's email. The flagship center's construction has been put on hold due to a last-minute zoning restriction. Nicholas was aware that the board's assertion of "unresolved safety concerns" was sabotage, most likely carried out by a rival with political clout.With two steaming coffee mugs on a tray, Cassie came into the room. After glancing at Nicholas's face, she put the platter down."What took place?” Her voice was laced with apprehension as she asked.Nicholas massaged his forehead. “The zoning board disallowed the launch. Despite their claims of safety infractions, it is obvious that this was a political maneuver. Nobody wanted this

As the sun started to drop over the Italian vineyard, the infinite fields of grapevines that extended into the distance were bathed in a golden glow. It was a scenario from a novel of science fiction.Fairy lights hung across the outdoor space glistened against the dusk, and the altar was surrounded by an archway bordered by white roses and ivy.Nicholas and Cassie's vow renewal ceremony, which celebrated their love, resiliency, and all they had conquered together, took place in the ideal location.In one of the villa's private suites, Cassie stood before the mirror, adjusting the exquisite ivory gown's lace. The outfit was simple yet beautiful, with a floating skirt that seemed to speak as she moved. She framed her face with a few curls and kept her hair free in a chignon. "You appear like a princess, Mommy," a tiny voice murmured behind her.Their twin children, Emma and Ethan, were standing in the doorway when she turned around. Ethan looked handsome in a small tuxedo, while Emma

The Nicholas-Scott villa was bathed in a warm, golden glow as the morning sun streamed through the windows. Ethan and Emma were playing with their dog, Milo, in the expansive yard while Cassie sat on the terrace with a hot cup of tea. Their laughter, which always made her heart sing, reverberated in the clear air.Bringing two dishes of breakfast, Nicholas came out of the home with his hair still wet from the shower. Leaning down, he kissed Cassie's temple after setting one in front of her.With a deep rumble of adoration, he replied, "Good morning, beautiful."Cassie smiled at him. “Greetings, Mr. Scott. You're feeling quite happy right now.”Nicholas smiled contentedly as he sat down on the chair next to her. "Why wouldn't I be? The foundation is flourishing, the children are content, and I'm enjoying breakfast with my significant other. There isn't much finer life than this.”Squeezing his hand, Cassie reached across the table. "It doesn't."“The charity just opened its tenth cente

It was a Saturday morning, and the house was unusually quiet. Nicholas read the newspaper while Cassie sipped her coffee on the kitchen island. Outside, Emma and Ethan were having fun as their quiet but reassuring laughing could be heard in the distance. Milo, periodically wagging his tail in satisfaction, was cuddled up next to the hearth.Cassie had grown to treasure the moment, which was a picture-perfect moment of household bliss. She felt a thrill of appreciation for their progress as she looked at Nicholas, who was reading with a tiny frown on his face."Is there anything intriguing inside?” She pointed to the newspaper as she inquired.Nicholas folded it carefully and grinned. "A typical mix of gloom and doom with a dash of sports." “This quiet morning is not worth disturbing.”Cassie chuckled and opened her mouth to reply as the doorbell rang throughout the house.Nicholas got up from his chair and said, "I'll get it."A weird sensation settled in Cassie's chest as she watched

The following morning was gloomy and cloudy, the type of day that could chill even the coziest house. The folder Whitman had handed him the previous evening was the object of Nicholas's blank stare as he sat in his study. Though his mind was racing with contradicting ideas, one question stood out above the others: Why now?He had lacked the bravery to disclose to Cassie the contents of the folder fully. Yes, she had read the essentials, but there were other details he hadn't yet been able to articulate—dark facets of his father's empire that might still have an impact on his life.He was startled by a knock on the door.With a hoarse voice, he said, "Come in."With a cup of tea in hand, Cassie intervened. Even though she was dressed casually, she looked stunning, yet there were worried lines on her face."You didn't get any rest, did you?” She placed the tea on the desk and asked.Nicholas let out a sigh. "Very little."Sitting opposite him, she examined his face. "Are you concerned a

After Nicholas hung up, there was a lot of tension in the air between them. With a pale face and slightly shaking hands, he turned to Cassie and put the receiver back in its cradle.His voice was hardly audible above a whisper when he replied, "It was Angela." "She desires to meet."Cassie took a while to reply. Her normally friendly eyes were clouded with a mixture of hurt and doubt as she stared at him.“Cassie?” He took a tentative step in her direction and asked gently.In a protective move, she crossed her arms, which only made the gap between them wider. "I want the truth, Nicholas, and I have a question for you. Everything.”He nodded despite the knot in his stomach. "Ask me anything you want.""Were you aware?" her voice trembled as she asked. “Were you aware that you might have another child out there, and you chose not to inform me?"The question struck him hard. "No," he firmly said. "I promise you, Cassie, I didn't know," Angela said nothing and vanished. Had I known...? I

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
