The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 104
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

Luis' POVThanks to my wretched fiancee, I was here, pride in tatters, groveling before one of the most influential men in the business world, the man I despised the most.I suddenly received a message from one of the bodyguards I had assigned to protect her. It seemed they were smart enough to recognize Adrian immediately, but that dumb lady had acted without her brain.My relationship with her could never be considered a genuine one because I had always known she was only with me for my wealth and status, but still, I valued the benefits I received from her.At first, I wanted to ignore the issue and let her spend a day or two in the cell, but then, my mother reminded me of the damage it could do to our family’s image if word spread. Besides, I had already announced my engagement to the world; if word got out, it would irreparably tarnish my image and that was not an option.My first stop was the police station. I had managed to speak to Ligia after giving the warden a small tip. In

Adrian's POVI wished I could gouge out the eye of that pervert called Luis. He had the nerve, and the guts to leer openly at Joyce, which only fueled my resolve to hit where it would hurt most; claiming a portion of his company’s shares.The young man was so naive that he couldn't even make decisions for himself. I was right when I said his father would have agreed to my proposal without wasting much time. The man was a shrewd and cunning business man according to the information I had gathered from my sources. Too bad his son didn't have even a tip of his wisdom.I was waiting patiently, watching his gestures as he talked to his father on the phone.Five percent was too little. If I could get the chance to raise the stakes, I would definitely do so."Mr. Lopez, are you done making the call?" I asked the moment I saw him place his phone back into his pocket.He tilted his head slowly to look at me and replied. "My father is on his way to settle things with you.""Oh, is that so?" I q

Natalia's POV"Tch.. that bitch!" I cussed, gritting my teeth in anger.My blood had been boiling since the very moment Ligia mentioned the name of that good-for-nothing I called my sister. Now, hearing the full story almost had me breaking things, but I couldn't. I was in an empty cell, not my home."Did you say you saw her with a little boy?" I asked to confirm.Ligia nodded affirmatively. "Yes, the boy looked a lot like that man, but I'm not certain if he's the father.""So, he locked you up in a cell, because you insulted Joyce?" I snorted in disgust. "What's so good about her anyway?""The man really cares about her from what I witnessed," Ligia stated. "But that isn't why you're here, right? You have to do something, please. Please Natalia bail me out of here. Luis wouldn't take things lightly with me if he comes back here.""Luis was here?" I questioned, stunned by the discovery.Ligia nodded in affirmation. "Yes, he was. He couldn't bail me out, because that man already made i

Gabriel's POV "The operation was successful," Miguel announced with a sigh of relief, and my heart leaped for joy. "Does that mean they're on their way?" I questioned, my heart beating erratically with a strange mix of joy and dread. Miguel nodded affirmatively. "Yes, they are. The culprits are on their way to the station too. Why do you seem so... uneasy?" "It's nothing," I lied, my voice barely above a whisper. "I guess I'm just so happy that we came out on top." That was a big lie. The truth was I wasn't ready to see them. Not Joyce. Not Adrian. Not even Rafael. The thought of facing them, of seeing Joyce’s eyes—eyes that once held so much love but now only reflected betrayal—made my stomach churn. I wanted to be as far away as possible. Meeting me might ruin her newfound happiness and I didn't want that to happen. I wanted her to be happy while erasing every memory of me in her head. I had caused her so much pain. I had been a shadow cast over her past; I refused to b

Adrian's POV"We are?" Torres questioned, his face etched with shock as he stared at my computer screen with keen eyes. "How's that even possible?""Story for another day," I said dismissively, looking out the window. "It seems the men I demanded for are on their way. We should head there too.""Wait a minute," Torres raised a finger to stop me. "I think someone is coming heading our way."As if on cue, a shadow emerged from the dimly lit alleyway. Madrileño stepped into view, his dark clothing blending with the night, his tanned skin faintly illuminated by the passing streetlights. His expression was unreadable, but his purposeful stride spoke volumes."Why are you here?" I questioned with much curiosity in my voice and a frown on my face. "I thought we agreed on you leading the men.""I am leading them," Madrileno replied confidently. "I just came to let you know of something so that you can be prepared.""What's that?" I asked, refusing to beat around the bush. "Spill it out, so yo

Adrian's POV"Then we go after him," I said. "Let's head to the airport now!"Torres nodded, already speaking into the radio.He cocked his gun. "Time to end this."With that, We all rushed back and jumped into the van, peeling off into the night.I picked up the radio and connected to Miguel."Keep us posted. We're heading to the airport now," I stated."If we don't catch up with him now, we won't be able to find Joyce and Rafael," Torres sighed, revealing the bitter truth, his voice laced with discomfort and urgency as he looked out the window. "It might take years to find them if we lose this opportunity.""Positive thoughts and words only, Torres," I scolded, calling him by his name for the first time. I was annoyed with Daniel's close escape. I still hadn't come to terms with the fact that he had betrayed me after so many years of service to Santoria Industries.The fact that he knew everything about Rafael and Joyce meant he had been working with the enemy for years. Who knows? H
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 237
Lionel's POV"Ugh... You don't have to be so timid with me. I know what women like you are capable of," I scoffed, hoping for a reaction.Nothing. Absolutely nothing. She jus sat here like a statue. I cast her a side glance.She was sitting next to me with a stiff posture and a face void of any emotions. After my men caught her trying to escape, it was as if an icy shell had formed around her. She hardly spoke and rarely reacted to anything I said or was happening around her. Her questioning had ceased, and I couldn't predict her next move.It was disturbing. I exhaled through my nose, unsatisfied. Was she planning something? Had she truly accepted her fate? The fire in her eyes had become dull and unreadable. Her facial expression was indifferent like she had accepted her fate. I hated it. I wanted her to rebel against me. It was much more pleasurable that way. Her facial expression was indifferent like she had accepted her fate.Save for the small hum of the engine and the regu

Adrian's POV"You both made mistakes. You're both in the wrong," I rebuked. "You should work on yourselves instead of taking your anger out on each other. Don’t know how you plan to fix this mess, but remember—we’re all in this together. Whether you like it or not, we have a common goal."The room fell to a heavy silence. Gabe let his breath out in a slow hiss as he leaned against the warm sheets of the bed. Madrileño ran a hand over his face, still breathing sharp and unevenly. Part of me did think their little fight was somewhat amusing, but I needed to be the voice of reason here. I had to be the mature one."I'm sorry," Gabriel mumbled. Everyone turned to him in shock. Gabriel was not one to apologize. "I'm sorry I killed your child. I shouldn't blame you for my mistakes. I should have never gotten married to that bitch, and I'm going to keep on regretting it for the rest of my life."Madrileño’s jaw tightened, hands flexed at his sides. His lips parted as if he wanted to argue
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 235
Adrian's POVHaving this innate ability to sense danger, or detect a person's aura, is part of being a shrewd businessman, which not everybody could understand save the people concerned. It was an instinct sired from long years of high-stakes negotiations and betrayals, something that most people just wouldn't understand unless they lived in this world.Gabriel had it. So did I.And right now, every alarm inside me was going off as I watched him stare Madrileño down, his body rigid with restrained fury.The cell's air was thick with unsaid words and stress. Gabriel could already tell something was off with Madrileno. I could sense their mutual hostility suffocating the air between us.Madrileño was standing stiff, his jaw clenched tightly and Gabriel was seated on the edge of his bed with fingers tightly clenched into fists. Well, whatever their issues were could be sorted out after everything had been settled."So what exactly is it you found?" I asked, my expectant gaze fixed on Iva

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 t
