The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 136
Joyce's POVI felt very exhausted as my eyes fluttered open, scanning the unfamiliar room. A deep frown rested between my brows as I tried to recall the past event before I fell asleep and understand why I felt this way.My eyes gradually widened in realization as I scrambled to sit—memories of last night flooding through my mind.“Oh my God!” I nearly screamed, horrified by everything and completely ashamed of what I had done and how it all had unfolded. I buried my face in my trembling palms as all the memories from the previous night flashed in my head.My heart began to beat erratically, as a warm flush spread slowly and steadily across my cheeks. I had really hoped that it was just one of those dreams but the feel of the cool sheets against my naked body told a different story. It had happened. Every sliver of action, every caress, every loving whisper, every orgasm—it had all happened. I had been intimate with Adrian.I could vividly remember that I had also consented to it. I

Adrian's POV Joyce's initial attempt to ignore what had happened between us really upset me. Forcing her to admit it had happened was never my style, but I had to. I guessed I had cut off our intimate moment at the wrong time. The disappointment on her face when I mentioned my flight said it all. As soon as she walked into the bathroom, I knew she needed some space, so I left the room. I knew Joyce would be hungry, so I made coffee and breakfast of toast, bread, and scrambled eggs for her and me. I sat on the sofa with a friend to enjoy my coffee before my flight. My phone buzzed and a message from Daniel popped up on my screen. I had asked him to send me the details of the project Mr. Smith was planning to hand over to me, and the changes or progress Gabriel had made. I was going to go through it on my flight. He further went on to inform me the meeting had been rescheduled for 5:00pm, which was perfect for me. It would give me ample time to settle down before the meeting. Just

Adrian's POV"Welcome to The Smith's Hotel and Suites," Leo announced, driving through a large iron gate into what looked like a garage.Leo quickly exited the car and walked over to let me in. As I stepped out of the car, the building before me took my breath away. The hotel's multi-story building was eye-catching and a testament to its luxury. It exuded luxury, from the front door's intricate design to the main entrance's grandeur.This is not just a hotel but a tribute to the Smith Family's legacy. There was no doubt that this breathtaking structure was a reflection of one of America's most powerful and influential families.An entourage of bodyguards were lined up from the entrance to the car, probably to ensure my protection.I couldn't help but frown deeply at the unexpected gesture."Mr. Smith holds you in high esteem," Leo stated.He must have noticed my discomfort."Still, I don't think this is necessary," I protested, walking on the red carpet with Leo, who was pulling my l

Joyce's POVWhen I entered Adrian's office that morning, I felt an emptiness in my heart. A tinge of regret crept into my heart as I recalled how we parted ways that morning. Maybe I should have just let it go and told him goodbye properly.Now, he was gone for God knows how long. I occasionally glanced at my phone, waiting for a call or a text message, but none came.It was now past lunch, and I had yet to speak with Daniel about the company's anniversary that we were planning.To be honest, I wasn't ready to speak or have anything to do with him. Still, I had to keep sentiments apart and remain professional.Instantly, an idea popped up in my head. I could ask Michelle to accompany me. That way, I would avoid any conversation that could pry into my privacy.With a deep sigh, I stood, laptop in my hand, and walked out of the office, remembering to lock the door.I found my way to her department and walked in. Everyone was busy with one thing or the other. Seeing this made me feel a s

Gabriel's POV"I'm leaving the company in your hands. Nothing must go wrong while I'm away," I had instructed Ivan that morning before leaving for the United States.The initial goal was to travel on the same plane as Adrian, but unfortunately, my flight ticket was delayed for some strange reason I was given. I was suspicious, but I had to get to the meeting to confirm my suspicions.I arrived in the United States thirty minutes before the meeting began. The car I had booked arrived on time to help me with my luggage and take me to my hotel. Ivan had already prepared everything I needed.When I got to the hotel, I didn't bother having lunch. Instead, I took a quick bath and changed my clothes. I ordered a taxi that took me straight to The Smiths Hotel and Suites, which Ivan deduced as the meeting ground.When I arrived at the hotel ten minutes after the meeting began, I walked up to the receptionist's table and placed a massive tip on it.The moment I entered the hotel lobby, I was sur

Adrian's POVI found it amusing that Gabriel would have the audacity to speak to Mr. Smith in such a manner, degrading himself. As a businessman, his actions were considered disgraceful.Access to the conference room must have been obtained through someone he had bribed, and Mr. Smith realized that, so he ordered the other lady, Evelyn, to get the receptionist fired.He suddenly turned to me when I least expected it, but I regained my composure.The instant he asked if I was behind it, I had an inkling that Daniel was the mastermind behind the delay, though he hadn't informed me.After our verbal exchange, he stormed out of the room, leaving I and Mr. Smith to continue with the meeting.It was apparent the man was still angry because of his heavy breathing."What temerity?!" He barked, banging his fist on the table.Evelyn walked forward to calm him down."Take it easy, Mr. Smith," I cautioned. "Ignore him. He's gone already."The middle-aged man took a deep breath and slumped into hi

Chapter 142Joyce's POV"Your plans have a lot of loopholes in them," Daniel declared condescendingly. If we settle for your plan, Santoria Industries will suffer a long period of image deterioration. I'll show you a sample we used last year.""Alright," I replied curtly, offended by his rudeness but refusing to make it obvious. Is it that he's blind to the countless hours and efforts I've put into this? Or did he think his arrogance would overshadow my dedication and sweat?"Can I see the sample you speak of?" I responded, the heat rising to my cheeks as I fought to maintain my composure.He fetched a file from the cabinet next to us and dropped it on the table."Here," he said, clasping his hands in resolute confidence. "It has everything we need."I tried my best not to flare up, but the proud peacock was stepping on my toes. Instantly, I decided to show him who the boss was.I picked up the files and reviewed them, pointing out the problems and gaps one by one, the damages they mig

Joyce's POV"Karma is a bitch!" Michelle cussed the moment I finished narrating my own part of the story. "How could she have been so rude? She isn't even your sister."I exhaled heavily. "Things just happen, Michelle. Sometimes, you just have to face them.""Yeah, I get that," Michelle nodded in understanding, her frown deepening. "I just don't see a justified reason for your sister's betrayal. I've been thinking about it, and there's this question on my mind, if you don't mind me asking.""Go on," I permitted.She cleared her throat and voiced out. "Aren't you guys born of the same parents? I mean, she's your biological sister, right? Why did your parents never say anything about it or even correct her?"Michelle's questions opened up a wound I had buried deep in my heart long ago. Though the incident left me in a bit of pain, I was willing to speak to Michelle about it."You don't have to answer if you don't want to," Michelle stated.She must have noticed my discomfort."It's noth

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,
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 232
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
