The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child CHAPTER 28
Joyce's POVEverything felt off the moment we stepped into BianCo Innovation. I mean, I could not deny the thick, undeniable, and palpable tension that hung in the air. Tension so thick you could slice through it. The energy of the place was very unsettling. It was overwhelming, almost suffocating but Adrian's voice had somehow managed to soothe and calm my nerves.I wasn’t so naive to think things wouldn’t get a bit messy, judging from the fake smiles and shifty looks. I, however, never expected to be plunged into this head-on. This had turned into mad chaos; a debacle and being dragged into this left me stunned.The past two years had been peaceful—just me, Rafael, and the nanny. I hadn’t asked for this mess, didn’t want to be part of it. Yet here I was, tangled in something far bigger than I ever imagined.This was not what I signed up for. When I woke up this morning, I never imagined my day would turn out this way. I just needed to get through it—then I’d take it straight to my b

Adrian's POVI was surprised by my actions when I protectively reached out to her. I couldn’t resist touching her, I had to if only to quell my worry. My heart thumped loudly, torn between guilt and worry, as I wrapped my fingers around her soft hands. I could not help but notice she looked so pale, so fragile, and it was all because of me. I silently cursed at myself for doing this to her.“I’m sorry,” I muttered, the words escaping in a soft voice I didn’t even recognize as my own.A sense of familiarity washed over me as I looked at her, stirring something deep inside, yet I couldn’t quite understand what it meant. The feeling was there, just out of reach, confusing and unsettling.The situation was getting awkward -standing there hand in hand- so I had to pull her towards the exit. We had to leave. I was determined to protect her and guarantee she got home without further distress. But just as we were about to leave the building, the police arrived and filed into the building."Ev

Madrileno's POVMy men and I were heading back to our territory. Initially, I was apprehensive when that detective was onto me, but to my utter surprise and relief, Adrian bailed me out in the nick of time. Interacting with him could be intimidating, but working hand in hand was easy."This is the last time I'm having any dealings with companies," I said, looking out the window. The image of a familiar woman flashed through my head- Joyce, the same woman Talia told me to help her get rid of. I wasn't mistaken. She looked exactly like the lady in the picture, but slightly different. Two years was more than enough for a change.Although I hadn’t decided for certain on what to do that decision would even prove more difficult now. Taking her out wasn't the problem but..."Boss," a voice jolted me out of my t thoughts."What is it, Barrio?" I questioned with total absentmindedness, refusing to get my eyes off the window."That woman...isn't she the woman in the photo? The one Natalia aske

Natalia's POVI arrived at Madrileno's den only to find out he was not in. However, I decided to wait for him, but the man at the exit refused to let me in."Leave and come back another day," He spoke rudely, which served only to piss me off. I could do nothing for fear of being beaten up. This was not my turf and I had to tread carefully. I couldn't defend myself, nor could I cry to Gabriel to help me exert revenge should anything happen here."I'm not leaving," I retorted adamantly, and we kept on arguing back and forth until Madrileno arrived.His attitude was strange and infuriating, but I still needed something from him, so I had to compromise and play along.I assumed I would have to go through the trouble of convincing him again, but he had gotten himself drunk, becoming susceptible to what I had in mind."Let me help you," I whispered seductively into his ears and pulled him towards the bed in the room. I tried unbuttoning his shirt, but the stubborn nut was still struggling.

Joyce's POV"Phew!" I sighed in relief as soon as I arrived at my doorstep. I scanned my surroundings making sure no one was watching me before unlocking the door and walking in."Mummy!" I heard that familiar cute voice call out to me as a patter of small feet approached. I turned just in time to catch him."My baby!!” I shrieked excitedly, snatching him up and smothering him with a thousand wet kisses. “¡Mi bebé! ¡Mi corazón! ¡Mi amor! Did you miss mommy?" I tickled him, enjoying his innocent laughter.This was a great respite from the day’s happening. Dread momentarily flickered when I imagined never having to hold my baby in my arms and feeling this innocent warmth. Suddenly, Adrian's face flashed before me, but I shook my head to erase it instantly."Yes, I mith you so much, momma," he whined, slobbering me with kisses as well.I looked around and saw Christie walking out of the kitchen. I felt a pang of guilt seeing her; she was supposed to be with her family by this time."Welco

Adrain's POV"Hello mum," I alighted from the car and headed to the penthouse. It was rare for her to call me, especially when she had one party or outing with her friends who loved living a life of luxury. ‘Enjoying the fruits of their hard work,’ they termed it.I regularly sent a monthly allowance to cover all she needed and then some more. She had never once complained or asked me to up the allowance since it was more than enough. I know she was not ill. So, what reason could she have for calling?"Hello, my baby boy," her deep tender voice seemed to resonate from the phone and reaching out like an unwelcome, distorted lullaby reaching out. "Mum, why are you calling by this time of the night? Couldn't it wait until morning?" I asked feeling a bit exhausted and impatient thanks to the long day I just had."Hmph... Do I need to give you reasons for calling? You're my son; I just wanted to hear how you're doing. Is that too much?......" She went on and on. I waved at Sebastian, who

Gabriel's POV That god-damned forsaken woman really knew how to rile me up. Every single action, every single word, was a clear threat I dared not overlook, or take for granted and I know for certain that one wrong move and my reputation and everything I worked hard to build will be in shambles before my eyes. I still hadn't left the office since she left. I couldn’t. My mind was In a deep dilemma. With a frustrated sigh, I stood up, grabbed my jacket from the seat, opened the door, and stepped out only to almost bump into Ivan, who was about to come in. "Ivan! Why are you still here?" I muttered in surprise. "What do you want?" He seemed nervous; I knew him well enough to tell it was because of my wife's attitude earlier today."Out with it, Ivan" I urged as I locked the door behind me. "Erm... Mr. Moreno, I've been thinking about your wife's earlier actions. Looking at it and considering what's on ground, It seemed like a manipulative move. I wanted to see if you're okay." "I'm

Joyce's POV"Oh, my!" I exclaimed as I closed the last button on Rafael's shirt. I kept glancing at the door, hoping Christie would come in and say everything was fine and she didn't need to go anywhere, but it was just hopeful thinkingIt took a lot of toss and turn all night to finally make up my mind, and realize I had no other choice. I was taking Rafael to the office with me today. I didn't know how I was going to maneuver this, but I was going to find a way to make sure Adrian didn't see him no matter what. After all, what business does the CEO have to do with a daycare?I left him to watch his favorite cartoon and walked up to my closet to choose an outfit for the day. I chose a black pencil skirt, a white fitted top, and a black cardigan with a pair of white sneakers to match. Rafael and I wore matching outfits, but I made sure he had a cap on for security reasons."Let's go, darling," I picked up my bag and carried Rafael in my arms."Yay! Mommy is taking me out today!" He wa

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
