Joyce's POVI didn't realize I had blurted out my feelings until I saw the flabbergasted look on his face. A stab of regret pierced my heart, causing severe despair. I couldn't face him at that moment, so when I took hold of the opportunity and dashed out, ignoring Daniel's questioning gaze.I didn't know where I was heading. All I wanted was a place far from Adrian's office. I thought of going to check up on Rafael, but then I spotted a familiar figure standing beside the vending machine. I walked closer to get a clearer view of this person."Michelle!" I screamed in excitement, my lips curved in a relieved smile.She stopped what she was doing and turned to identify the person who had interrupted her work. Upon seeing me, her face softened, her brow relaxed, and a silent relief appeared on her face, as though my presence had lifted an unseen weight she had been bearing."My goodness, Joyce! What are you doing here?" Michelle exclaimed, walking up to me."Well...." I trailed off, fai

Natalia's POVI slowly opened my eyes, my mind groggy. A wave of dizziness and nausea washed over me as I tried to lift my head. My gaze fluttered around the unfamiliar hospital room as the scent of antiseptic wafted through my nostrils."Where am I?" I muttered my voice hoarse and my head spinning.Gradually, memories of my visit to a hospital, my conversation with Manuel, and the news I had received flooded my mind, increasing the throbbing pain in my head.I let out a painful groan, using all the strength left in me to press the green button by the bedside. After what seemed like an eternity, the door creaked open and the nurse who had taken my blood samples earlier walked into the room. She held a tray with a glass of water on it."How do you feel?" she asked, approaching me.I brushed off her question and grabbed the glass of water, downing it all in one gulp. I exhaled heavily, feeling the instant relief on my patched throat."Where's Dr. Manuel?" I asked, my voice low and impat

Adrian's POV"You're in love with her!!" Miguel exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "¡Anda! Dime la verdad!""No, I'm not!" I vehemently denied it. "¡Por supuesto que no! I'm only attracted to her.""Is that so?" Miguel questioned with a sarcastic tone, giving me his signature arched brow. "You're lying to yourself, big boy. From the way you speak about her, it's obvious you're in love with her. Uff...I don't know what to say, man.""Yeah," I sighed. "I'm confused too. I haven't felt this way before.""Wow, Adrian. Who would have thought eh? Playboy billionaire got bitten by the love bug? It's true love changes people," Miguel exclaimed, his lips curved in a smirk."When was the last time you expressed your feelings to anyone like this? You should indulge these feelings... I'm really interested in seeing the new changes it would cause.""Shut up, Miguel" I snapped, slightly irritated at his truth. "What if she doesn't feel the same way I do? That bastard called Gabriel made

Natalia's POV It was not difficult finding the Cruz Estate, since it seems the cab I had ordered had been to the place a couple of times. I was stopped at the checkpoint and had my body and bag checked with a metal detector. I felt it took almost forever before the security guard decided to let me in. It seemed the estate had its own personal cabs, so I ordered one and gave the driver the exact description I got from Barrio. The driver looked a bit taken aback at first, but he agreed to take me there since I was paying. I slipped into the back seat and stared out the window, lost in thought as we drove in complete silence. Finally, the car slowed, and he pulled up in front of a large, imposing gate. I alighted from the car, staring at the gate with my mouth agape. It was the first time I was seeing a gate as large as the one protecting Gabriel's mansion. There was no security guard at the post so I assumed the estate was heavily guarded since the house had no security measures put

Madrileno's POV "Answer me!" I fired, my blood boiling with seething rage. I really wasn't expecting such news from her, but I should have known such a thing was inevitable. We had fucked without protection, so the pregnancy wasn't supposed to be a shock. It was unplanned for, but with each passing second, I was beginning to welcome the idea of being a father. The only person I needed to deal with at the moment was Natalia. Knowing her for so long had made it easier for me to understand how dark her heart was. She could tread on thorns to get what she wanted. Asking her such question was unnecessary. I mean, I should have just told her what I intended to do, but a large part of me wanted to hear what she felt, and the reply I got, shook me to the core. "Fine! I want nothing to do with this child!" she yelled, her breath ragged. "I don't want this bastard in my tummy. I want to get rid of it." "Did you just call my child a bastard?" I bellowed as the last string of my patience thr

Mysterious man's POV"What brings you to my humble abode, Flynn?" I asked my my eyes narrowing on the young figure standing before me in the dimly lit room.We only met when we had something important to discuss, and I was eager to hear what he had to say."It's been a while, jefe. Aren't you just too humble to call this huge mansion a humble abode?" Flynn replied, his tone full of praise. "I bring relevant news to you, boss. It's something you would love to hear."My ears quivered with excitement. "Does it concern the young brat I asked you to watch out for?""Absolutely, jefe," Flynn responded with a confident tone."Out with it!" I urged, impatience clear in my tone.Flynn cleared his throat and spoke. "The young man we speak of actually has an heir- a male child.""What?!" I exclaimed, standing up from my high leather chair. "Are you sure of what you're saying?""I'm certain he has a son, boss," Flynn replied. "I personally checked the paternity test result myself and it was pos

Adrian's POVIt was hard to shake thoughts of the spontaneous dinner date with Joyce that was still to come, so I forced myself to focus on something productive to keep my mind occupied.A few hours ago, I called Javier and assigned him the task of monitoring Elizabeth and her investigator's movement. I hadn't disclosed my plans to him, but it wasn't hard convincing him since we had a common goal in my mind- to protect the innocent people who had nothing to do with our strife.I glanced over at Joyce, her focus still fixed firmly on her computer, unchanged since our last exchange. There was no way her heart wouldn't be troubled knowing her life and Rafael's were in danger. I really wanted to assure her that everything was going to be fine."Joyce, you..."A light tap on the door cut me off. I was a bit irritated by the interruption, but I had to let the person in.It was Claire, the new secretary we had hired."Good day to you, sir" she greeted politely."What do you want, Claire?" "I

Natalia's POVI hadn't felt this oppressed for a very long time. But now, Madrileno had made me understand the feelings of those I had hurt or put in a tight spot.I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist in rage as I recalled the moment he had shown me the mini recorder. He was the last person I expected to do such a thing, but letting my guard down made me realize how dangerous it was to underestimate people, especially those you had offended. ¿Cómo pude ser tan estúpida?I stood by the roadside, waiting for the cab I had ordered. I was glad I had left his home immediately. The environment was pleasant to a normal person, but to me, it was suffocating. I felt like I was being strangled by an unknown force.The hooting of a car horn grabbed my attention. The driver pulled down the glass window and peeked through."Ma'am, are you going or not?" he asked."Yes," I muttered in reply.I hastily opened the car, got in, and closed it. The moment the ride began, I went right back into my th

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
