The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 110
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

Javier's POVI had received orders from Adrian to act fast, and now, I was left with swallowing my pride to offer a sincere apology to Elizabeth. It took great resolve to make such a decision. I mean, I had no other choice. The lives of innocent people were involved. I couldn't live with the guilt if anything were to happen to them.Finally, it was time to head off to Elizabeth's mansion as the workday came to a close. Sighing deeply, I pushed myself up and trudged out of the office. Taking an elevator downstairs, I reached the ground floor fairly quickly and the building that was buzzing earlier now felt a little too still.I sent my driver away, opting to drive myself as I eased the car out of the company garage.It was a long drive and was made worse by heavy traffic. After an eternity, an hour or so, I finally arrived at her mansion and passed the gates into the quiet compound.I hadn't informed Elizabeth I was coming, but the security man at the gate didn't stop him since I was t

Natalia's POV"We're both guilty in that case," I retorted, feeling upset that he was trying to blame our actions on me. I didn't do the cheating alone. We both consented to it. Now, he dared to call me a bad sister.I badly wanted to cuss at him, but I dreaded the consequences. Whenever Gabriel was like this, his reactions were always unpredictable. I needed to tread carefully as I hadn't sorted the present issue yet. Pouring oil into the fire would burn me mercilessly. I quickly restrained myself."Oh, really? You want us to talk about that now?" Gabriel reprimanded, his eyes burning with something intense, something deep that I couldn't fathom.I felt compelled to respond. "We did it together, Gabriel. I didn't do it alone. You lost Joyce the very night you decided to betray her. I didn't force myself on you.""You have no shame!" Gabriel snapped. "How dare you speak to me in such a manner?""Then you shouldn't have married me in the first place!" I said impulsively without thinking

Adrian's POVMe: How is it going? Any updates?Javier: Already got what we need. I'm on my way to Santoria Industries.Good. That was exactly what I needed to hear. It was high time we dealt with the impending storm threatening to blow us away. Today was supposed to be the end of it.I was about to continue with the review of documents on my computer when a knock on the door halted me in mid-motion"Come in," I said, hoping it was one of the people I was expecting.Thankfully, it was. Daniel walked into the office with his computer and some documents in his hands."Good day, sir," he greeted with a sincere smile. I could almost swear I saw an eerie mysterious glint flash in his eyes, but I ignored it to focus on the task at hand."Good day to you too, Daniel," I responded, gesturing to the visitor's seat. "Now, tell me. What evidence have you managed to fish out?" I asked, unable to contain my curiosity."I actually met with Javier last night and gave him a mini camera to fix onto his

Adrain's POVThe rest of the journey was enveloped in silence. It wasn't long before we arrived at the restaurant, one I frequently visited."Thanks, James," I muttered, signaling for Joyce to wait in the car.I stepped down and walked to the other side, opening the car for Joyce like a perfect gentleman. I understood she wasn't going to open up her heart to any man so easily after the incident with her ex-fiance, and I was willing to help her heal.She blushed hard and muttered. "Thank you."She kept avoiding my gaze as she alighted from the car. I closed the door after her and together, we walked into the restaurant."Good evening to you, Mr. Ortega, Madam," an attendant greeted with a polite smile. "It's lovely to see you again. Your room is always ready for you.""Thank you," I said in a low voice, smiling slightly.The attendant led us to the VIP room I had a membership card for.Immediately the door to the room opened and we walked in, I heard Joyce let out a soft murmur. "Wow!

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
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 212
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.
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 210
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
