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 POVI was having breakfast that morning when I sent the maid on duty to call Natalia for me. Strangely, she was shivering. At first, everyone thought she was having a fever, and as a good boss who valued his workers' welfare, I decided to call a doctor to attend to her. That was the moment she began to panic.I went through a lot of trouble to get the truth out of her. It was then I found out about Natalia's audacity to leave the house after our agreement, and without my knowledge. To confirm the maid's words, I checked the CCTV footage of the house and listened to their conversation.Since the maid had been threatened, I only promised to deduct a certain percentage of her salary and seize her bonus payment by the end of the month, instead of firing her. The maid was grateful which annoyed me further.I left for work, but my mind was filled with countless scenarios of what Natalia could be doing. I couldn't concentrate despite Ivan's cautious words. He was standing before me,

Joyce's POVAdrian's bargaining skills were outstanding. I was amazed at how well he handled the whole situation, regardless of the man named Luis's refusal.I had noticed Luis’s lewd gaze lingering on me but chose to ignore it, pretending not to see. I couldn't say the same for Adrian because he must have picked up on it, which instantly soured his mood, causing his tone and manner to shift, taking on a sharp edge.He boldly threw his demands at Luis. The Lopez family's reputation depended on Adrian's decision, so Luis's father made the right decision by agreeing to Adrian's demands.I couldn't deny the great admiration I felt for him. During the meeting, I was completely taken as I followed his outline, tracing every detail of his facial expressions. When the meeting ended, he nearly caught me staring, but I managed to avert my gaze just in time."Let’s go, Joyce," he said, his voice smooth and irresistibly alluring, a stark contrast to the icy tone he had used during the meeting, wh

Natalia's POVI had never been subjected to such barbaric punishment in my life. I should have just listened to Christina when she warned me, but I had let my anger take over.

Joyce's POV"You're still trying to prove your stubbornness, aren't you?" Lionel smiled, his voice full of mockery. "Soon you'll have no choice but to let yourself succumb to my advances."For a week now, that pervert has been harassing me with threats. At one point, he starved me just because I made him angry. The way he talks and acts is always irritating, and it always makes me want to throw up. I was fed up with the sight of him.Well, at least, he ensured my son was well-fed as a way to appease me. But even that felt like a mockery—a calculated cruelty meant to keep me compliant."Mr. Lionel, men like you should be married," I stated accusingly.Lionel simply shrugged, a sly grin stretching across his face. "Yes, I am. I also have a mistress and I don't mind having you as the second one. Don't worry, you have nothing to be wary of. Like I said earlier, money isn't the problem.""Ugh... How many times do you want me to spell it out to you?" I scoffed in disgust. "I want nothing to

ADRIAN'S POV"Fine, let's work together. The police will assist us."Those were the last words I had spoken to Gabriel before Detective Torres suggested we have a meeting in his office. I had seen the incredulous look he shot at me when I agreed to work with Gabriel; like I had suddenly grown a second head with two horns. I decided to play it cool and act as though I hadn't caught that. I watched as the weak man was unstrapped from the chair and laid on a stretcher. The nurses attending to him applied first aid, cleaned up his wounds, set up a line, and whisked him out of the cell.Honestly, I was taken aback that I had agreed to work with him. What if t this was just another one of his manipulative game for him? What if he has something else planned? My family depends on this, but is it worth the risk? How many times had I underestimated him before? Was I doing it again now? It was a risky decision, yet my instincts weren’t giving me the warnings they normally did."Sir, we should

Adrian's POVIt's been a week since that bastard who calls himself Gabriel refused to tell the truth. Shockingly, I had been so occupied with issues at the company that I hadn't gotten time to balance my emotions properly. My eyes had dark circles around them like ominous curtains, my stubble had grown out, matching my disheveled state of mind, and I was a complete shadow of myself.Miguel still had nothing. No updates, no footage, no break, nothing. Whoever had taken them was yet to contact me for any demands, negotiations, or ransom. It was as though they had vanished into thin air, leaving me to face my demons.It was so hectic that I had become unable to control my anger. Most of the workers had become unwitting victims of my misplaced aggression.I sat trying to attend to the documents before me, going over them as fast as possible so I might leave for the police station. It was futile, though, as my mind was elsewhere: were they safe, was she alive, was Rafael okay? The uncertai

Gabriel's POVIt all felt so surreal, like a dream from the moment the cops barged into my house and arrested me till now. Never had such a thing happened in my whole life as a Moreno. Me, Gabriel Moreno, reduced to this pitiful state? My pride, my ego—it was shattered into irreparable shards. Life has been so unfair, unjust, and so relentlessly cruel to me. It was tiring, and I had thought of ending it countless times. If only I had gotten the woman I've always wanted in my life, maybe things would have been different; everything would’ve aligned perfectly. But no. Maybe.....just then, I heard footsteps approaching and snapped out of my thoughts. I couldn't turn to see who it was, because my hands were strapped to a chair, but the suffocating pressure that increased as the man approached reminded me of a particular person, and just before I could guess who the person was, I heard a familiar voice."He looks okay. Has the interrogation not begun?" I heard the man ask.That voice. I

Adrian's POV"What have you found?" I asked, my eyes on Miguel as he kept typing away furiously on the keyboard.His expression looked disturbed, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding—a sickening feeling gnawing at my gut. My heart thudded painfully in my chest. Something was clearly wrong, but he didn't want to reveal it to me."Miguel," I called, raising my voice and revealing impatience. I could feel the burn rise in my chest as my breaths came in shallow bursts. "What's wrong Miguel? Que? Answer me man!"Miguel sighed dejectedly then finally turned his eyes towards me, worry shadowing the lines of his face. "There is nothing-""What?!" Michelle gasped in shock, her voice hoarse. "No no no no! ¡Esto no puede estar pasando! Have you checked the toy section and also the pajamas section? That was exactly where the attendant and I left her. She has to have been captured by the cameras.""Sadly, she isn't," Miguel replied, his frown deepening as he fidgeted with the mouse.

Joyce's POVI blinked my eyes to stop the tears threatening to fall. No! I didn't want to give Natalia the privilege of seeing me vulnerable. Despite my efforts to not hate her, she kept stepping on my toes.What baffled me the most was the enemy she hinted about earlier. Admittedly, Adrian had many enemies and business rivals, but for someone to actually plan something as daring and repulsive as abducting a child? It would have to be a very powerful individual, someone who knew just where to hit. The last time someone -Elizabeth to be precise- tried this, it was a futile attempt.I kept sparing furtive glances at my baby placed on an old and dusty sofa. He was still asleep. His small chest rose and then fell, but his cheeks had reddened slightly and he looked so helpless. Panic clawed at my chest. What if he got sick while inhaling the dust? The thought that he was inhaling thick musty air made my stomach suddenly turn. I felt a grip in my heart at what could happen in case he did
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 209
Natalia's POVI could feel a sharp pain in my hand, seconds after I slapped the bitch sitting right in front of me. How dare she talk to me like that? Her words cut deep into my heart and I couldn't help but vent my anger with that slap.I wasn't satisfied. I badly wanted to claw her face and pull every strand of hair on her head out till she was bald. I wanted to set her on fire and watch her scream in excruciating pain.I know those around me were baffled by the level of hatred I had for my blood, but that was it, I honestly didn't care. I despised her greatly."You slut!" I heard her cuss. "Did you just hit me?"I snorted in laughter. "Si. Yes, I did. Tell me, what do you want to do about it?"She didn't reply and simply looked at me with hatred in her eyes. I had never seen such fierce hatred in her eyes before and honestly, it took me by surprise. Yet, I wasn't done with the mockery."You can hit me back if you can," I added with sarcasm in my voice."You're soulless, Natalia. You
