THE TYRANT'S BABY Chapter 44: Damian Clarke
Chapter 44: Damian Clarke*flashback*"How long have you been trying to keep this company afloat, Mr. Clarke?" Mr. Yves leaned back in the plush chair across the desk, adjusting the gold cufflinks on his sleeves with casual arrogance. His tone was coated in faux concern, but the sharpness in his eyes betrayed his true intent. "Let me think... ah, yes. Since the accident, wasn't it? Such a tragedy. Losing your parents and siblings like that. It must have been devastating." He paused for effect and watched Damian carefully. "And here you are, trying to carry their legacy all on your own. Admirable, yes, but let's be honest. It's overwhelming for someone so... unprepared."Damian sat rigidly with hands clasped tightly on the desk. The words stung, not because they were untrue, but because they echoed the doubts he wrestled with daily. Yves was no stranger to playing on insecurities, and Damian knew this meeting wasn't about compassion, rather it was a calculated move."I understand your

Chapter 45: Preyed*flashback continuation*Damian was sitting in his small study, poring over yet another letter from a supplier who had cut ties with the company, when a loud knock echoed through the house. It startled him enough to make him drop the letter. His heart raced as he walked to the door, half-hoping it might be some good news for once, though the weight in his chest told him otherwise.When he opened the door, three men in dark suits stood on the porch. One of them, holding a clipboard, gave him a practiced, professional smile."Mr. Clarke?" the man asked."Yes," Damian replied hesitantly, gripping the doorframe.The man straightened his posture. "We're here on behalf of the bank. As you're aware, the loans on your company and personal assets have defaulted. We're here to inform you that the bank will be seizing this property, your vehicle, and any other assets tied to the debt as collateral."The words hit Damian like a punch to the gut. "Wait... the house?" he stammere

Chapter 46: Prison*flashback continuation*The grand ballroom was bathed in sparkling, golden light. The soft hum of a string quartet filled the air. Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, and the clink of champagne glasses punctuated the lively chatter of the guests. The room was adorned with elegant floral arrangements, and a large banner hung near the entrance with golden letters congratulating the engaged.Claudia stood near the entrance as her heart pounded in her chest. She smoothed down her emerald-green gown, nervously clutching a glass of champagne. Tonight was supposed to be her night—a celebration of her engagement to a man she had yet to meet.But then she saw him. Damian Clarke.He was standing near the edge of the room, his back partially turned and his posture rigid. He wore a sharp black suit that accentuated his tall frame with his dark hair neatly styled. Yet, his expression was far from celebratory. His eyes were downcast and his lips pressed into a thin line as if

Chapter 47: Lucky BastardClaudia sat at the bar in her father's mansion. Her fingers gripped the crystal tumbler of whiskey she took from one of the bar's shelves. Her father's private collection of fine spirits lined the shelves behind her, but she wasn't there for the luxury—she was there to drown the storm brewing in her mind. The fight with Damian replayed in her thoughts like a broken record.How dare he? Writing her name, saying it out loud as if it were nothing. Who was this "Amaris"? The way he spoke about her, like some lingering ghost haunting his thoughts, made Claudia's blood boil. Damian had always been distant, but now it felt different. It wasn't just coldness—it was like she didn't even know him anymore.The door to the bar creaked open, and her father, Yves, stepped in. Still in his sharp suit and tie, he looked every bit the powerful businessman he was, but his expression softened when he saw Claudia hunched over the bar."Well, well," he said, setting his briefcase

Chapter 48: ChangedAlaric stood still in front of Arthur with his brow furrowed as confusion painted his face. "What is a company and a CEO? Why do you keep repeating such words?" His voice held a note of frustration. These strange terms swirled in his mind, though he could sense their importance.Arthur hesitated for a moment, as if assessing how best to explain. "Sir," he began carefully, his tone respectful but patient, "a company is an organization where people come together to produce goods or offer services. You, as the CEO, are the one who leads it. You make the decisions that guide the company forward, control the direction it takes, and ensure it remains prosperous."Alaric's expression remained blank. The weight of these new concepts somehow failed to find any grounding in his mind. He glanced down at his own hands, feeling somewhat alien in his own, strange body. "So... I command people?"Arthur nodded, though he chose his words with care. "Yes, sir, in a way. But it's mor
Last Updated : 2024-12-03THE TYRANT'S BABY Chapter 49: Tremble before a Tyrant
Chapter 49: Tremble before a TyrantIt was clear that something had changed in Damian Clarke—or perhaps, he himself had changed.The man who now walked through the towering glass doors of Clarke Industries carried an aura that was unmistakably commanding, a presence that demanded attention. Where once there had been hesitation, there was now resolve. Where timidity had resided, confidence had firmly taken root.The employees whispered among themselves as they observed Alaric."Is that... Mr. Clarke? He looks different.""Did he fire the guards just now?""I've never seen him like this. It's... intimidating."Alaric heard none of it—or perhaps he chose not to. His mind was already spinning with thoughts of the changes he would bring to this company. Every glance of indifference, every casual whisper, every unbothered stride of an employee was etched into his observations like markings on a ledger.This is my domain now, he thought as his kingly, tyrannical personality made itself known

Chapter 50: AbandonedClaudia stepped through the glass doors of Clarke Industries with her heels clicking sharply against the gleaming marble floor. The sound echoed faintly, but it was drowned out by the storm of emotions churning within her. She was here on business—or so she told herself. Deep down, she knew the real reason was far more complicated, tangled in the messy web of guilt and affection that always surfaced when Damian was involved.Her father's confession from the night before weighed heavily on her. How could she face Damian now, knowing what she knew? How could anyone face the daughter of the man who had destroyed their entire family? And worse, knowing that Damian who was still unaware of the truth would look at her with gratitude, believing she had saved him from ruin, only twisted the knife further.Claudia's chest tightened as she moved through the quiet halls, her steps measured but her heart racing. The guilt was suffocating like a relentless voice in her head w

Chapter 51: Pouring rainClaudia knelt in front of Damian, her hands trembling slightly as she gently wiped the tears from his cheeks with the edge of her sleeve. His sobs had quieted, but his shoulders still shuddered with the remnants of his pain. It was the first time she had ever seen him so vulnerable, and it twisted something deep inside her. She didn't know if it was guilt or love—or both."Please," Alaric whispered, his voice raw and hoarse. He looked at her, his eyes brimming with a mix of desperation and confusion. "Please don't tell me you'll leave me again..." His words trailed off as his chest tightened, and he clutched at the fabric of his shirt like he was trying to ease the ache in his heart.Claudia's hand froze mid-air, startled by the depth of his plea. She had heard Damian speak many times before, but there was something entirely different in the way he said this—something ancient and fractured. His words weren't just about her leaving him now; they were about some

THE TYRANT'S BABY Chapter 84: Testify
Chapter 84: TestifyClaudia's bedroom was dimly lit and the heavy curtains were drawn to block out the light from outside. She sat on her chaise lounge, staring blankly at the glass of wine in her hand, swirling the deep red liquid absentmindedly. The once-polished and pristine young woman now looked worn, her elegant appearance marred by days of worry and sleepless nights.The door to her room suddenly burst open with a loud crash, making her jump. The glass of wine slipped from her fingers, shattering on the floor as her father, Mr. Yves, stormed in. His face was twisted with fury as his usually composed demeanor completely unraveled."You testified against me?!" he bellowed, his voice echoing through the room. "Are you stupid?! Do you have any idea what you've done?"Claudia stood abruptly, her chair scraping against the floor. "Dad, I—""You've destroyed everything!" he interrupted as his hands trembled and pointed an accusing finger at her. "Everything I built, everything I worke

Chapter 83: The Light and The Moon"Are you sure you're alright after whatever Arthur rudely said to you earlier?" Alaric asked, his concern evident as Selene carefully leaned back against the headboard.Selene let out a soft chuckle and exhaled. "He was rude and mean... but I don't think he meant any harm. I'm more worried about my babies. We left them behind at Mrs. Callaghan's. It's—"Before she could finish, a knock on the door interrupted her, followed by Arthur's voice from the other side. "Mr. Clarke, you have visitors."Alaric who momentarily forgot about his expected visitors, spoke without hesitation. "Let them in."The door opened slowly, and Arthur stepped aside as two men entered, each accompanied by a nurse. In their arms were two tiny bundles, wrapped snugly in soft, warm cloths. Arthur had thoughtfully suggested removing the newborns from their incubators so the mother could hold them freely.Selene's breath hitched at the sight, and tears instantly welled up in her ey

Chapter 82: Twins"What do you know?" Alaric finally asked, confused and suspicious.Arthur smiled solemnly. "I knew. From the moment you returned and spoke to me, I could tell that you were different. The way you carried yourself, the way you spoke—it was as if someone else had taken his place. Damian was my young master, and I knew him better than anyone."Selene's breath hitched, and her gaze darted between the two men. "Then why... why didn't you say anything?" she whispered.Arthur sighed deeply, his hands clasped behind his back as he straightened. "Because I knew the truth wouldn't change the situation. Damian Clarke was already gone. I saw his body myself the day he fell unconscious in his own home."Alaric's brows furrowed. "What do you mean?"Arthur hesitated for a moment before continuing, his tone heavy with regret. "Damian's death was no accident. It wasn't illness or stress as it appeared. He was poisoned."Selene gasped, her free hand covering her mouth. Alaric's grip o
THE TYRANT'S BABY Chapter 81: The Wise Arthur
Chapter 81: The Wise ArthurAlaric stood by the window of his hotel room with his freshly cleaned hands clasped behind his back. He was dressed in a crisp, dark suit from the clothes Arthur had brought and looked every bit the powerful figure he once was. Yet the lines of worry etched into his face betrayed the turmoil within him.He picked up his phone and dialed a number swiftly. The call connected after a single ring.“Gather a pair of neonatal nurses immediately,” he commanded, his voice firm but slightly hoarse. “I need them ready to travel to the address I will be sending you. You’ll find two newborns there under Mrs. Callaghan’s care. Ensure they are handled carefully and brought to the Union General Hospital where Selene... Selene Clarke is in.”The person on the other end hesitated but obediently answered. “Yes, sir. Should I arrange for additional help?”“Do whatever it takes. I expect them taken here as soon as possible,” Alaric replied sharply. Then, before ending the call

THE TYRANT'S BABY Chapter 80: Mistake
Chapter 80: MistakeSelene's eyelids fluttered open. Her gaze was unfocused as the sterile white ceiling of the hospital room swam into view. Her body felt heavy with every muscle weighed down by exhaustion, and a dull ache spread across her abdomen. She blinked a few times, trying to make sense of her surroundings.Then, she sees a doctor standing at her bedside, meticulously checking her vitals. A nurse was beside him, recording notes on a clipboard and adjusting the IV drip connected to her arm. She was still in a daze, almost forgetting what exactly had happened to her."Mrs. Clarke," the doctor said gently, noticing her eyes opening. "You're awake. That's a good sign. Can you hear me?"Selene's lips parted, but her voice came out in a barely audible rasp. "Where... where am I?""You're in the hospital," the doctor replied calmly, leaning in slightly. "You've been through quite an ordeal. We're monitoring your recovery, but you're stable now. Don't try to move too much just yet."
THE TYRANT'S BABY Chapter 79: A Realization
Chapter 79: A RealizationThe nurse hesitated for a moment before gently placing a hand on his arm. "Mr. Clarke, you need to clean yourself up. Please," she urged in a soft yet firm voice. "The doctors are doing everything they can. We'll inform you as soon as there's any news."Alaric barely reacted as his bloodied hands trembled at his sides. His gaze remained fixed on the emergency room doors waiting for someone to come out. "I can't leave," he rasped. "Not until I know she's okay."Before the nurse could insist, hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway which caught their attention. He turned his head sharply to see an older man rushing toward him. It was his butler, Arthur, followed closely by two maids. Each of them carried bags while their faces were etched with panic and concern."Mr. Clarke!" the butler called with relief seeing that a nurse seemed to be attending to him. He then stopped in front of Alaric, scanning his disheveled and blood-streaked appearance. "We came as so
THE TYRANT'S BABY Chapter 78: Unbearable Pain
Chapter 78: Unbearable Pain"Selene? Dear? Wake up." Mrs. Weaver's voice trembled with nervousness, cutting through the haze of relief that had only just settled moments before.Alaric who was just a few steps away from the room, froze. The words he heard sank into his mind like ice. Then, like a man possessed, he whirled around with his fear propelling him back into the room. In one swift motion, he handed the newborn to Mrs. Weaver as his trembling hands betrayed his panic."Take her!" His voice cracked out of desperation.His focus tunneled in on Selene. Her still, pale figure was a vision he couldn't bear to accept. He instantly dropped to his knees beside her while his hands reached out, trembling as they cupped her face. "Selene," he whispered, his voice breaking. "Stay with me, my love. Please."When she didn't respond, his breath hitched. His panic quickly rose like a tidal wave. Without hesitation, he slipped his arms beneath her, carefully but urgently pulling her limp body
THE TYRANT'S BABY Chapter 77: Betrayal
Chapter 77: BetrayalSelene's raw and unrelenting cries echoed through the room. Her grief was pouring out in waves that seemed to ripple through everyone present. Mrs. Weaver, though composed, handed the crying infant boy to Mrs. Callaghan with steady hands. "Take him," she instructed softly. "He'll need tending to."Mrs. Callaghan nodded with a grim expression on her face as she took the tiny boy and cradled him close to her chest. The baby's wails filled the void left by Selene's sorrow, but it did little to lessen the burden inside the room.The midwife never strayed far from Selene's side. Her sharp eyes watched every movement of the grieving mother. "Selene," she called gently, her voice steady but lined with concern. "You need to rest. You've just been through so much." But Selene's sobs only grew louder, her anguish blinding her to the world around her.Meanwhile, across the room, Alaric stood frozen. His frame was rigid while his hands trembled at his sides. He had seen death
