THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET HEIR Chapter 124
Ryan's heart pounded as he recounted Diane's distressing revelation about her unemployment and struggles to make ends meet. He could feel his promise to her, made years ago, tugging at his conscience, a weight he couldn't shake off.Shannon's face turned from concern to anger, her eyebrows furrowing, and her eyes narrowing as she refused to accept the idea of Diane becoming his PA. She didn't need words to express her displeasure; her body language spoke volumes. "I made a promise to her years ago that, I'm going to fill her in as my Assistant if she couldn't get a job and I turns out to be very successful, which I am now. Though I might be a stupid teenager then, my word is my bond, and I have to fulfill my promise to her" Ryan tried to explain. His response wasn't sitting pretty with her, To hell with a stupid promise that can't be broken, in as much as she was trying to believe everything he was trying to say right now. It wasn't sitting pretty well with her. "Does that make

As the sun rose on the next day, Shannon found herself filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. As the current CEO of the Lincoln company, she had achieved great success with her new project, and now she was about to share it with the world through an interview with a popular broadcast station. The smell of coffee lingered in the air, and the sound of frantic voices echoed off the walls. Her heart was racing, and her stomach felt like it was full of butterflies. The host greeted her with a warm smile, and she took a deep breath to steady herself. She knew she was ready for this.Shannon sat at the table in the studio, trying to compose herself. The interviewer sat across from her, clipboard in hand. The lights were hot, and Shannon could feel a bead of sweat trickling down her back. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. "We'll be starting in three, two, one..." the producer's voice crackled in her earpiece. The red light on the camera flashed on, and the intervie

Later that night, Ryan only came for Dennis as usual and then he left without saying a word to her. *** "Boss, I think now that the foundation seems solid, it would be better if we strike now!" a voice boomed. Mr. Lincoln turned as he glance at him, "She is such a good luck charm, The Lancaster became our shareholder and then the Lancaster made an Ambassadorial deal with us, I think if she eventually leaves us, the company might suffer losses" He had done the calculation over and over again. And had finally decided reasoned that it wouldn't be of a good benefit. *****Shannon sat at her desk, trying to focus on her work. But her mind kept wandering to the events of the past few days. It was frustrating, not being able to put it out of her mind. She had tried to talk to Ryan about it, but he had been evasive, and she felt like he was hiding something from her. She was starting to feel worried and uneasy.Just then, she heard a knoc

As Shannon danced, she felt a hand on her arm. She turned to see a strange man, his eyes fixed on her in a way that made her uncomfortable."What do you want?" she asked, her voice sharp.The man smiled a lecherous grin that made her skin crawl. "I just wanted to ask you to dance," he said, his voice oily and slimy."No," Shannon said, trying to pull away from him. But he held on to her arm, his grip like iron. One moment, he was trying to hold her waist to dance with her, the next, she felt him flying across the crowd as he landed with a loud sound on the floor. Everybody attention landed on the dude. As she turned to look at who had throwned the perverted guy, nevertheless, she caught sight of that same man that she had fallen in love with, that same man that made her came down to the bar. That same man that cause her pains, but yet still gave her joy. "Ryan?" she stuttered as her eyes was tipsy. She watched in her tipsy state as Ryan walked toward the man, then she sudde

It was another ordinary day, until Shannon got a strange text message on her phone. It was from an unknown number, and the message was cryptic and unsettling. Shannon's heart started to race as she tried to decipher the meaning of the message. She felt a sense of dread wash over her, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen.Shannon sat at her desk, staring at her phone. She couldn't stop thinking about the message she had received. Who was this person, and what did they want? What could they possibly mean by "I'm more dangerous than you can think"?Shannon took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that she needed to stay rational and not get carried away by her fears. But the more she thought about it, the more her anxiety grew.Just then, her phone buzzed again. A new text from the same number."I know where you live, and I know where your family lives," the message read. "I could hurt them if I wanted to. You need to do what I say,

Shannon sat at her desk, reading the text message that had just arrived on her phone. Her hands were trembling and she felt a knot in her stomach. The message read, "You have just three hours, choose between Ryan and your company!" She blinked her eyes rapidly as she read through for a second time.She knew who had sent the message. It had to be Diane. But why was Diane doing this to her? Shannon had never done anything to hurt her. She didn't understand. Ever since she had met her with Ryan, she knew she had other motives, but had kept her cool, if only Ryan had listened to her and rejected the proposal, now she was always threatening her, sending her different text messages, She was losing it and soon once she had all the evidence she needed, Diane would be prepared to see her in court.How could her fellow lady be this obsessed over a guy to the extent of sending her a threat message almost every day? Shannon felt her head spinning as she tried to make sense of it all. She had t

"Let her in!" Mr. Lincoln muttered out, as his bodyguard told him about the lady that was outside waiting to see him, his brow furrowed with anticipation as he nodded his head in agreement. His anticipation was evident as he leaned back in his chair, fingers tented in front of him. His face pulled into a sly smirk as he watched her walk into his office, he was very interested in listening to what she had to say, mostly as it involved Shannon. He wanted her out of his company, and he had a second plan. If only Diane's evidence is true then he'll definitely know how to kick out Shannon legally from the position he offered to her. "Sit!" he ordered as he cleared his throat, the lady following his command. "What is your evidence?" he gave a suspicious look. Diane sat up straight as she looked at Mr. Lincoln, she had it all planned... She had done her research and she knew that Mr. Lincoln was at the verge of dismissing his illegitimate daughter, she knew about his secret children.
THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET HEIR Chapter 131
These few days had always been work-filled for Shannon, it was either she was staying late to cover up her work schedule or she was bothered thinking about Diane's threat. Diane has been a pain in the ass, and she was majorly Shannon's concern, the worst of all was the fact that she couldn't rely on Ryan and tell him about Diane. Shannon sighed as she read the contract terms over and over again, her head was banging heavily. Because she had been troubled almost all day, she couldn't concentrate fully on the contract. Running her hands through her hair, Shannon stood up as she picked up the hard copy of the contract, planning to head to her father's office. It was a relief her father was right at the office that day, she couldn't be less relieved because she had to give it to him right there rather than taking it to his house. Leaving her office, her destination to her father's own, Shannon beamed at the workers she met walking. When she got to her father's office, with her han

Ryan hadn't been this nervous in his life, his eyes couldn't leave his soon to be wife for a second, dressed in an elegant wedding dress, the dress clung to her body revealing her hour glass curves. He couldn't wait for the wedding to be over and remind her that those curves are finally his, and his alone and he can have them in one spot right where he want it, in his bed."I do!" He heard her melodious voice spoke, his chest gave a leap as he heard his long awaited answer. Then the priest turned to him."Cupcake, from the moment we met, I knew my life would change forever.

Days pass, Weeks did also... Shannon didn't get to hear from Ryan, she knew he needed time to process all that had just happened, she couldn't blame him for what had happened. His past made him what he was, but then again, she hope he forgives her and let go.She felt awful for hiding his son away from him, hiding several stage of Dennis life away from him. She missed him so much even though he was always calling her and getting to talk to her almost everyday. Still, that awkwardness was there, because he wasn't there with her. "Momma, someone is at the door!" Dennis walked in to her room jolting her from her thoughts.Dennis had been a happy kid ever since he got to knew Ryan was his father, she had thought he would have a problem absorbing it in, but then again, he seems to be cool with it. "Okay!" Shannon reluctantly stood up from her comfort zone as she dragged her feet to the door, scooping Dennis from the floor, then to the sitting room.Opening the door, her eyes took sight o

The room was suddenly filled with a heavy silence, as the weight of Shannon's words hung in the air between them. She had been right to be afraid, to worry about what he might do if he found out the truth. And yet, her deception had caused its own kind of damage, a wound that would be difficult to heal.Ryan had never made any secret of his feelings on the matter. He had said, time and time again, that he did not want children. He recalled when he had told her, threatening to destroy his child with his bare hands if he ever finds out he had one, And not to mention the fact that he had asked several ladies in his past who had gotten pregnant for him to get rid of it. He had never imagined a day like this would come, a day when he would be confronted with the reality of his past words. He had said things in anger, things he had never truly meant. And yet, those words had come back to haunt him, in the form of a beautiful child. A child who had done nothing wrong, who was blameless in a

As Ryan opened the door, she caught a glimpse of his eyes. He looked so saddened. It was as if the whole world had just crashed down at his feet.He just looked at her, devastated, and without a word, he walked straight inside the mansion, with Dennis walking alongside him. Shannon ran after them, she scooped Dennis from the floor staring at his body to see if he was hurt, and then she breathed out a sigh of relief when she didn't see any signs of injury in his body. She felt tears threatening to spill down her eyes as she blinked her eyes rapidly, she couldn't believe she was holding Dennis finally In her hands. If only she had told Ryan the truth back then, perhaps all this wouldn't have been happening. She stared from her son to Ryan, she couldn't even hold his gaze for hours, he looked broken, shattered beyond repair, and she was the main reason behind those looks. She owes him apologies, several explanations, and above all she needs him to forgive her.Her thought wandered

Ryan, without thinking, scribbled his signature on the contract."Is there anything else?" Ryan inquired."Yes!" With a gun aimed at his head, Ryan raised his hands in surrender."Do you think I'm going to be so stupid to let you go after signing the contract? I thought you were smart, but then again, you're nothing but a dummy," Reuben cocked his gun and pointed it at Ryan.Ryan gulped. He was more concerned about Dennis. He wouldn't want him to experience such a scene. It was too scary for a child of his age, and he was more concerned about the scene haunting him."You know what? I'll give you whatever you want. Let's get in and talk business!" Ryan tried to keep his voice steady."There is nothing to discuss, Ryan. The contract is already signed, and that's it!" Reuben smirked. His eyes sparkled with a glint of triumph, the smugness in his gaze unmistakable. He had finally won the game; he had always wished for a day like this to come when Ryan would be at his complete mercy."So,

She had so much to say, but all the words seemed to have evaporated, knowing he wasn't going to be the answer to her numerous questions. She felt like a deer in headlights, frozen and unsure of what to do next. Her heart was pounding in her chest, her palms sweating. The only thing she knew for sure was that everything had just gotten a lot more complicated.Different thought was running through her head as she thought of why Ryan had run in hasteHer mind was a whirl of thoughts as she tried to make sense of what had just happened. Why had Ryan come running in such a hurry? Was there something she was missing? Something she didn't know? Or maybe does it have anything related to Dennis? Her mind was racing, but she couldn't focus on any one thought for long. She was like a leaf in a storm, tossed about by the winds of confusion and suspense.Shannon's face was pulled into a frown as Ben took a tur

Seated inside the car, Shannon's heart raced, its rhythmic thump echoing in her ears. The leather seats cradled her, embracing her with a soft, supple warmth, while the dashboard lights illuminated her anxious expression. She was very restless, tossing from one side to another, and she was being much careful as she kept her gaze locked on the road avoiding to meet with Ryan hot scrutiny. Even with his undivided attention focused on the road, She could feel his eyes burning into her, his gaze intense and probing. She kept her eyes focused on the road ahead, unable to bear the weight of his scrutiny.

The silence was suffocating, making it hard to breathe.The car's wheels bumped along the road, the landscape outside blurring past them.

Many questions were running through her mind right there, but she couldn't seems to have an answer to any one. "Is everything alright? " Lifting up her face, Shannon met with Ryan gaze. "Our son is missing!" Shannon spilled out the words without thinking twice. "Our son?" She expected that reaction, as he creased his brow in confusion, his gaze looking lost. Ryan wasn't just stupefied, he was looking lost. Was she hallucinating? Did something goes wrong somewhere or was it just a slip of tongue? Too many questions were running through his mind right there, and he needed an accurate answers to his question. "Yes, our son, " Shannon repeated this time, her voice clear and sure, she had nothing too loose. She had intended to tell him after the whole incident, but now, it was better later than never.Ryan stood ther

Fluttering her eyes open, Shannon felt her heart freeze as her gaze met with the unexpected Shadow that stood at the doorway, hands crossed across the shoulder. "You startled me!" Shannon creased her brow as she drew in a rasp breath. She could finally breathe properly now. Once Shannon realized that the shadow was Ryan, her body seemed to release a breath it had been holding. Her shoulders sagged with relief, the tension leaving her body in a wave. Her heartbeat slowed, and her breathing became more even. His presence seemed to fill the room with warmth, dispelling the fear and confusion that had seized her just moments before. She felt herself relax, a sense of safety and comfort settling over her.
