Adrain's POV"Hello mum," I alighted from the car and headed to the penthouse. It was rare for her to call me, especially when she had one party or outing with her friends who loved living a life of luxury. ‘Enjoying the fruits of their hard work,’ they termed it.I regularly sent a monthly allowance to cover all she needed and then some more. She had never once complained or asked me to up the allowance since it was more than enough. I know she was not ill. So, what reason could she have for calling?"Hello, my baby boy," her deep tender voice seemed to resonate from the phone and reaching out like an unwelcome, distorted lullaby reaching out. "Mum, why are you calling by this time of the night? Couldn't it wait until morning?" I asked feeling a bit exhausted and impatient thanks to the long day I just had."Hmph... Do I need to give you reasons for calling? You're my son; I just wanted to hear how you're doing. Is that too much?......" She went on and on. I waved at Sebastian, who

Gabriel's POV That god-damned forsaken woman really knew how to rile me up. Every single action, every single word, was a clear threat I dared not overlook, or take for granted and I know for certain that one wrong move and my reputation and everything I worked hard to build will be in shambles before my eyes. I still hadn't left the office since she left. I couldn’t. My mind was In a deep dilemma. With a frustrated sigh, I stood up, grabbed my jacket from the seat, opened the door, and stepped out only to almost bump into Ivan, who was about to come in. "Ivan! Why are you still here?" I muttered in surprise. "What do you want?" He seemed nervous; I knew him well enough to tell it was because of my wife's attitude earlier today."Out with it, Ivan" I urged as I locked the door behind me. "Erm... Mr. Moreno, I've been thinking about your wife's earlier actions. Looking at it and considering what's on ground, It seemed like a manipulative move. I wanted to see if you're okay." "I'm

Joyce's POV"Oh, my!" I exclaimed as I closed the last button on Rafael's shirt. I kept glancing at the door, hoping Christie would come in and say everything was fine and she didn't need to go anywhere, but it was just hopeful thinkingIt took a lot of toss and turn all night to finally make up my mind, and realize I had no other choice. I was taking Rafael to the office with me today. I didn't know how I was going to maneuver this, but I was going to find a way to make sure Adrian didn't see him no matter what. After all, what business does the CEO have to do with a daycare?I left him to watch his favorite cartoon and walked up to my closet to choose an outfit for the day. I chose a black pencil skirt, a white fitted top, and a black cardigan with a pair of white sneakers to match. Rafael and I wore matching outfits, but I made sure he had a cap on for security reasons."Let's go, darling," I picked up my bag and carried Rafael in my arms."Yay! Mommy is taking me out today!" He wa

Adrian's POVJoyce seemed really calm about the blind date, which for some reason, made me uncomfortable. I expected a bit of reaction from her, at least something, but I got nothing. Zilch.I stepped out of the elevator to the first floor, my gaze scanning the surroundings to detect any form of negligence or misconduct."Rafael!!!" I heard a woman calling out and turned around to see Madame Pat, the woman in charge of the company’s daycare hurrying towards me. The daycare was meant to make the employee's work convenient, not to be a distraction and create chaos."What's going on here?" I asked when out of the blue I felt something - or someone- wrap around my legs. I looked down to discover a tiny figure wrapped around me, their small arms clasping my calves."Whose child is this?" I grimaced. I wasn't used to having children around me; more so one clinging on to me for dear life.I looked up and glared at Pat, who ran over immediately, attempting to take the child away. Strangely,

JOYCE'S POVWith Adrian gone, I refocused on my work, immersing myself in the contracts and reports. My fingers moved mechanically across the keyboard, the clacking sound filling the silence.Regardless of how hard I tried to maintain professionalism and concentrate on my work, my mind occasionally wandered to Adrian's blind date.My thoughts began to swirl. Why did it bother me so much? I shouldn't care; I was just his assistant. But the image of him with another woman lingered, stirring up emotions I couldn't define.I took a deep breath, attempting to shake off the unease, but it lingered, leaving me frustrated. I needed something to get my mind off him till my working hours were over.Glancing at the wall clock, I made up my mind to see Rafael. It was lunchtime anyway.I shut down my computer, stood up, and headed out of the office, straight to the elevator. I was so eager to see my baby that I was almost running, attracting unwanted attention from the other employees."Hello, Mada

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTADRIAN'S POV"Sir, is anything the matter?" James asked as soon as I got into the car."Just drive," I replied curtly. That uncultured lady had gotten me enraged. Threatening me with her father was an outrageous move, and she was going to regret it.The ride seemed longer than usual, which made me impatient. Suddenly, a shrill ring pierced the silence, shattering the calm atmosphere. I dug out my phone from my breast pocket and looked at the caller's name.'Ugh... She got the news so fast,' I scoffed inwardly and answered the call. "Good day, Mum.""What is so good about the day when you've already ruined it?" She roared, piercing my eardrum."I have no idea what you're talking about," I replied, waiting patiently for her next words, which I had already predicted."I heard about the outcome of your blind date from Lizzy," she revealed, her voice laced with fury, like a storm ready to break loose."Lizzy? I never knew you two were already that close," I snorted, a

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINEJOYCE'S POVAll efforts to hide my nervousness from Adrian proved futile. But thankfully, it seemed he hadn't noticed anything about Rafael, which relaxed my tensed nerves.I was watching him the whole time he was on that call, and his face had been twitching in rage as he scrolled through his phone. There was definitely a problem, which made me curious. What could it be?Just then, as if my thoughts had been heard, a notification from Twitter popped up on my computer screen. I couldn’t resist so I closed the files I was reviewing and clicked on them.I was left speechless by the tweet glaring at me. "Adrian Ortega - billionaire, playboy, and CEO- spotted on a date with Heiress Elizabeth Goméz!" Twitter was abuzz with tweets and retweets, throwing around speculations about their relationship. So this was why he was twitching in rage. I would too if I were in his shoes."Adrian and Elizabeth: The new couple emerge!" One headline read.So this was why he was twitchi

Adrian's POVThe audacity of that woman stoked my fury. I could tell she wasn’t satisfied with the verbal lashing I’d given her earlier—she was asking for more. Her dumb actions will cause her family to bear the full weight of my retaliation."Investigate the Gerrovial Infrastructure. I want everything I can use as leverage," I ordered, my voice resounding with authority. "While on that, I want you to utilize your team to shift public perception, portraying Miss. Goméz as the aggressor. I'll call my lawyer and sue her for defamation. Get to work!""Yes Sir," Daniel, the head of the PR department, replied and hurried out of the room.I glanced at Joyce who had a bewildered expression on her face. I knew I was taking things far by involving the Gerrovial Infrastructure, but it should serve as a lesson to them.I picked up my phone and opened it. Scrolling through my contact list, I found the one I was looking for and dialed. It was picked on the first ring."Good afternoon, Mr. Ortega.

Natalia's POV"What the hell is going on in this basement?" I grumbled, walking along the dingy hallway. Since I left Gabriel's mansion, I have gone into hiding, hoping the police wouldn't track me down. Anyway, I was hiding in the basement, but I kept having this feeling that something was going to go wrong.I hadn't seen Christina for days, not even Lionel. I made my way to the room Joyce was always held. My fingers hesitated on the rusted handle, a chill running down my spine.With a sharp push, the door creaked open, the sound cutting through the oppressive silence like a scream. Surprisingly,the chair was empty. Joyce wasn't where she used to be. The ropes used to tie her were dangling on the arms of the chair.“What the...?” I whispered, stepping into the room. My eyes darted around, searching for any sign of her but it was empty. I was stunned. I turned to leave and ended up bumping into someone."Ouch!" We groaned at the same time.I massaged my shoulders and raised my head

Gabriel's POV"Adrian is an ally now. Learn to respect that" I warned Ivan after Adrian and his friend had left."I know, but I'm finding it hard to do so" Ivan retorted. "Seeing his face reminds me of all the problems we faced in our company.""Those weren't his fault. We weren't competent enough" I explained. "We slacked off, remember?" The guilt gnawed at me, an ever-present reminder that I was part of the problem.Ivan sighed deeply. "Yes, sir. You're right," his gaze drifting towards the floor. "Good. Now, let's focus on finding the password to unlocking this file," I stated, my eyes on the computer.This was the first time I had actually laid a hand on it. She was always so very overprotective where her stuff was concerned, yet one more reason I wouldn't be trusting her anymore. I didn't."Check the hint," Ivan said, interrupting my thoughts.I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What hint?""The hint below the password box," Ivan replied, tapping the screen with his index finger,

Joyce's POVThe ride was silent. The fact that he was so clingy, even after I made it obvious that I didn't want him close to me, was so annoying that I wanted to puke. I wanted to be out of that space as soon as possible."When are we getting there?" I questioned with exasperation."When we get there," he replied with a playful smirk, obviously pleased by my discomfort. "Do I irritate you that much? You should get used to my presence because you'll be seeing me for a long time."Thinking about it made my gut churn. I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks, an embarrassing flush of anger and helplessness. I frowned. "What happened to handing me over to Natalia after everything is over?"Lionel leaned back, a calculated look in his eyes. "I'm quite unpredictable when it comes to deals. She broke one of the rules I love dearly," Lionel replied, his tone laced with mockery like that of an evil villain. "Right now, I see no reason why I should keep my own part of the deal."This man was

Madrileno's POV"Don't kill him. Burn him alive," I declared coldly, The men merely nodded, showed no hesitation, and pulled the bloodied, shaking figure from the ground. He whimpered, his lips working silent pleas, but I didn't bat an eye. Mercy wasn't currency I dealt in.Whoever dared to steal from me or betray me never saw the light of day. Yes, he was one of my closest men, but he had chosen to side with the enemy. Thanks to Barrio, we caught him sneaking out of the base with a large amount of our goods.Initially, I was furious, but I had come to understand that humans could be selfish. Selfish enough to sell their comrade off."Jefe, we've recovered the stolen goods," I heard Barrio say and I turned to him."And the enemies?" Barrio exhaled heavily. "We burned their base down, but a few of them managed to escape.""That's not my problem," I said coldly. " “Find them. All of them. If it takes their families to flush them out, so be it.”"Yes, big boss," Barrio said and turned

Joyce's POV"I want to see my son," I demanded my voice steady and unwavering. I waas determined to seemy son today no matter what.I had been waiting for when an opportunity would present itself to use his obsession to my advantage. I couldn't even tell the time I had spent in this room. It didn't help that I was stuck in one place. It was excruciatingly exhausting.The room felt stifling and claustraphobic—four white painted walls closing in on me. Time blurred into an eternal haze of waiting. The pain in my legs and back was a stark and constant reminder of where I was. I'd been eating, sleeping, then waiting again, my life going round in circles at one spot for what felt like an eternity. If I could see my son and take a walk outside, then I'd be a bit relieved."Your son, huh?" Lionel smirked, pretending to be thinking. His dark eyes glinted with satisfaction, like a predator toying with its prey. "Fine. You'll see him after agreeing to go out with me."The words sent a chill t

Adrian's POV"I can't believe I slept for this long," Miguel said, stretching his arms as he yawned loudly."You needed it, bro. You've tried a lot and I'm grateful," I sighed, leaning back in my chair.Well, after my conversation with Gabriel, I sat next to Miguel and watched as he slept like a baby."Oh, my goodness!" he exclaimed, rubbing his grumbling stomach. "I'm famished. Please tell me you thought ahead," he said sheepishly, rubbing his neck."I know, right?" I smirked, pushing one of the two white polythene bags beside me to him. "I ordered takeouts, and was waiting for you before having lunch.""Awwwnn..." Miguel drawled playfully. "How come I didn't know you cared this much about me? You’re too kind,” Miguel teased, batting his eyelashes dramatically.""You’ve got jokes, huh?” I shot back. “Eat your food before I hand it over to one of the officers outside.” I snarled.You wouldn't dare!" he exclaimed in mock horror. "I'm the brains of this operation-you'd be lost without

Lionel's POV"Dr. Mark, is there an alternative?" I asked, hoping for a positive answer.Mark shook his head with a somber look on his face. "The best I can do is to ensure she's only crippled; nothing else can be done. If it weren't for you, I would have called the police on whoever committed such an atrocious act.""Tch...that witch," I cursed. "Don't worry. I'll take care of her."Mark sighed and leaned back in his chair, his professional demeanor unshaken. "I'll try to communicate with some specialists who might be able to help. If I find anyone willing to take on her case, I’ll let you know.""Fine. Keep me posted," I said and stood up.Mark rose as well, escorting me to the door. Just as I was about to step out, he placed a hand on my shoulder. “Lionel, you should contact her family or send someone to check on her regularly. She’ll need support, and I doubt you’ll have the time to be there constantly,” he advised cautiously.I contemplated his words for a moment. Family? Support
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 227
Gabriel's POVFor the first time, I saw my life flash before my eyes. I've heard it happen to people, but now, I have experienced it myself. I actually thought he was going to kill me. Initially, I wanted death and could face it if it came, but when my life began to drain away, my survival instinct kicked in and I struggled helplessly.Thankfully, he had let me go and even as I slipped in and out of consciousness, I could see the nurses work quickly to place an oxygen mask on my face. The sterile, clinical smell was almost comforting in contrast to the fear that was suffocating me just moments before.But the fear only lasted briefly until confusion set in. I was baffled as it turned out that Joyce's bracelet, something I had never seen, was in my study. Except for the gifts I'd given her in the past that Natalia had hijacked, I didn't own anything that belonged to Joyce.How had it ended up in my home?I had to think and rethink again to clarify. Only concrete evidence could save me
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child CHAPTER 226
LIONEL'S POV"Christina," I called out walking towards her, my nose twitching in disgust.The stench of blood was quite strong. Cuts and burns marred her once flawless skin, painting a grotesque picture of Sarah’s handiwork. Sarah had gone beyond the norms. I needed to teach her a lesson and set some boundaries. I understood I wasn't faithful, but this act was inhumane. "Christina," I called again, but still got no response.I picked up her wrist with my left arm and checked her pulse. Oh my God, it was so weak that I could hardly feel a thing.I grabbed her bloody chin to see her face clearly. Her swollen eyes were tightly shut, and blood streaked her cheeks. Her lips, cracked and pale, barely moved and I couldn't even feel air coming out of her nostrils."Christina," I called for the last time, and she stirred but her eyes remained shut.I turned sharply and barked. "Hey! Who’s outside? Someone get in here NOW!"Instantly, two men rushed in guns drawn as if ready for a fight. Their
