CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTADRIAN'S POV"Sir, is anything the matter?" James asked as soon as I got into the car."Just drive," I replied curtly. That uncultured lady had gotten me enraged. Threatening me with her father was an outrageous move, and she was going to regret it.The ride seemed longer than usual, which made me impatient. Suddenly, a shrill ring pierced the silence, shattering the calm atmosphere. I dug out my phone from my breast pocket and looked at the caller's name.'Ugh... She got the news so fast,' I scoffed inwardly and answered the call. "Good day, Mum.""What is so good about the day when you've already ruined it?" She roared, piercing my eardrum."I have no idea what you're talking about," I replied, waiting patiently for her next words, which I had already predicted."I heard about the outcome of your blind date from Lizzy," she revealed, her voice laced with fury, like a storm ready to break loose."Lizzy? I never knew you two were already that close," I snorted, a

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINEJOYCE'S POVAll efforts to hide my nervousness from Adrian proved futile. But thankfully, it seemed he hadn't noticed anything about Rafael, which relaxed my tensed nerves.I was watching him the whole time he was on that call, and his face had been twitching in rage as he scrolled through his phone. There was definitely a problem, which made me curious. What could it be?Just then, as if my thoughts had been heard, a notification from Twitter popped up on my computer screen. I couldn’t resist so I closed the files I was reviewing and clicked on them.I was left speechless by the tweet glaring at me. "Adrian Ortega - billionaire, playboy, and CEO- spotted on a date with Heiress Elizabeth Goméz!" Twitter was abuzz with tweets and retweets, throwing around speculations about their relationship. So this was why he was twitching in rage. I would too if I were in his shoes."Adrian and Elizabeth: The new couple emerge!" One headline read.So this was why he was twitchi

Adrian's POVThe audacity of that woman stoked my fury. I could tell she wasn’t satisfied with the verbal lashing I’d given her earlier—she was asking for more. Her dumb actions will cause her family to bear the full weight of my retaliation."Investigate the Gerrovial Infrastructure. I want everything I can use as leverage," I ordered, my voice resounding with authority. "While on that, I want you to utilize your team to shift public perception, portraying Miss. Goméz as the aggressor. I'll call my lawyer and sue her for defamation. Get to work!""Yes Sir," Daniel, the head of the PR department, replied and hurried out of the room.I glanced at Joyce who had a bewildered expression on her face. I knew I was taking things far by involving the Gerrovial Infrastructure, but it should serve as a lesson to them.I picked up my phone and opened it. Scrolling through my contact list, I found the one I was looking for and dialed. It was picked on the first ring."Good afternoon, Mr. Ortega.

Natalia's POVI let out a throaty chuckle as I watched Gabriel perform the duties of a husband. It was quite funny when he decided to prepare a bath for me, now he was insisting on making breakfast.Blackmailing him was indeed the right move.The door creaked open and Gabriel walked into the room with a tray in his hands. He handed it over to me."Here's your breakfast. I made it just the way you like it," He said with a soft voice.I shifted my gaze from him to the breakfast, attempting to stop the laughter stirring my belly. He was acting like a loyal dog, which was a satisfying sight."Thank you," I muttered, so as not to appear ungrateful. He deserved some credit."Er.. Nat," He called out.I raised my head and looked at him, munching on the scrambled eggs."What is it, Gab?" I asked, smirking."Well, it's about the videos," He mumbled, his gaze avoiding mine."What videos?" I asked, sounding ignorant.He looked at me with a weird expression on his face. I could tell he was trying

Adrain's POVThe moment Elizabeth disconnected the call, I made up my mind; I was going to break both father and daughter."Daniel, release all the evidence at once," I declared."Alright sir," Daniel replied with excitement etched on his face.He clapped his hands, calling the attention of his team members. "Dante, create an anonymous email account. The username should be a random string of letters and numbers.""Si, Roger that," Jorge responded with a playful salute, and then his fingers clacked swiftly across the keyboard.Daniel turned to another person."Juan, I want a pseudonymous account on social media and a whistle-blower website. We need to make sure the documents tactically spread in an hour, so the Gerrovial Infrastructure will have no time to find a solution.""Are you sure this is the best approach?"Juan asked, his eyes narrowing.I was about to respond, but Daniel beat me to it."The Gerrovial Infrastructure is built on deceit. We're just doing the public a favor by expo

In no time, the number of views was over the roof. I could see the reporters at the press conference taking furtive glances at their phones and back at Mr. Gomez, watching the confession unfold. The woman took a deep breath and began. "Hi, everyone. My name is Maria-Rose. I want to reveal the true nature of my relationship with Mr. Goméz. Before I begin, I want to categorically state that I have no intention of making money from this. My goal is to reveal the terrible acts of the CEO of Gerrovial Infrastructure." She looked directly at the camera and proceeded. "I met Mr. Goméz at a nightclub here in Madrid. He lied to me that he wasn't married, and I was so stupid that I believed him. We lodged at a hotel that night and had rounds of sex which carried on to the next morning.” “After he left the hotel, I found a business card which I believe had slipped out from his pocket the night before. Curiosity got the better of me and I did some research on the name on the card. That

Antonio's POVI was shaken to the core when I saw the truth of my infidelity unfold before me. My security detail had escorted me to my office, but having them in the room was pointless."Leave," I ordered in a low guttural voice, but I couldn't hear the sound of receding footsteps; just silence.I turned sharply to see them still standing in the same spot. I was enraged.I grabbed the flower vase on the table and hurled it toward them. It managed to miss and crashed into the wall."Get out! All of you! Get the hell out!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.Reluctantly, they filed out of the room leaving me to battle my demons alone.I picked up the remote from my desk, my hands trembling as I switched on the TV.The video had spread like wildfire. The internet was bombarded with hateful comments.The truth was glaring- I had lost the reputation I had spent years trying to build with my sweat and blood.The room spun and my breath caught in my throat as I slumped against the wall.

Antonio's POVIt's been over an hour since Isabel was wheeled into the operating room. Despite the nurse's warnings to avoid disturbing patients, I couldn't stop pacing anxiously on the corridor.On the other hand, Elizabeth was seated on a chair, her eyes puffy and swollen from consistent crying. She had exhausted all her tears and could only stare at the same spot with a blank expression.I heard a door open and turned to see the doctor emerge from the operating room. He had removed his scrub cap and looked somber."Antonio," He said, his voice gentle as he approached me.I looked into his eyes, searching for a tiny bit of hope."Dr. Torres, please, tell me........" I trailed off.Dr. Torres took a deep breath. "The surgery was complicated. The impact the news had on your wife was severe, and her condition has worsened. We've done everything we can, but...."He paused, choosing his words carefully.".... she would be transferred to the Intensive Care Unit for close monitoring. Her c

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

Madrileno's POV"Don't kill him. Burn him alive," I declared coldly, The men merely nodded, showed no hesitation, and pulled the bloodied, shaking figure from the ground. He whimpered, his lips working silent pleas, but I didn't bat an eye. Mercy wasn't currency I dealt in.Whoever dared to steal from me or betray me never saw the light of day. Yes, he was one of my closest men, but he had chosen to side with the enemy. Thanks to Barrio, we caught him sneaking out of the base with a large amount of our goods.Initially, I was furious, but I had come to understand that humans could be selfish. Selfish enough to sell their comrade off."Jefe, we've recovered the stolen goods," I heard Barrio say and I turned to him."And the enemies?" Barrio exhaled heavily. "We burned their base down, but a few of them managed to escape.""That's not my problem," I said coldly. " “Find them. All of them. If it takes their families to flush them out, so be it.”"Yes, big boss," Barrio said and turned

Joyce's POV"I want to see my son," I demanded my voice steady and unwavering. I waas determined to seemy son today no matter what.I had been waiting for when an opportunity would present itself to use his obsession to my advantage. I couldn't even tell the time I had spent in this room. It didn't help that I was stuck in one place. It was excruciatingly exhausting.The room felt stifling and claustraphobic—four white painted walls closing in on me. Time blurred into an eternal haze of waiting. The pain in my legs and back was a stark and constant reminder of where I was. I'd been eating, sleeping, then waiting again, my life going round in circles at one spot for what felt like an eternity. If I could see my son and take a walk outside, then I'd be a bit relieved."Your son, huh?" Lionel smirked, pretending to be thinking. His dark eyes glinted with satisfaction, like a predator toying with its prey. "Fine. You'll see him after agreeing to go out with me."The words sent a chill t

Adrian's POV"I can't believe I slept for this long," Miguel said, stretching his arms as he yawned loudly."You needed it, bro. You've tried a lot and I'm grateful," I sighed, leaning back in my chair.Well, after my conversation with Gabriel, I sat next to Miguel and watched as he slept like a baby."Oh, my goodness!" he exclaimed, rubbing his grumbling stomach. "I'm famished. Please tell me you thought ahead," he said sheepishly, rubbing his neck."I know, right?" I smirked, pushing one of the two white polythene bags beside me to him. "I ordered takeouts, and was waiting for you before having lunch.""Awwwnn..." Miguel drawled playfully. "How come I didn't know you cared this much about me? You’re too kind,” Miguel teased, batting his eyelashes dramatically.""You’ve got jokes, huh?” I shot back. “Eat your food before I hand it over to one of the officers outside.” I snarled.You wouldn't dare!" he exclaimed in mock horror. "I'm the brains of this operation-you'd be lost without

Lionel's POV"Dr. Mark, is there an alternative?" I asked, hoping for a positive answer.Mark shook his head with a somber look on his face. "The best I can do is to ensure she's only crippled; nothing else can be done. If it weren't for you, I would have called the police on whoever committed such an atrocious act.""Tch...that witch," I cursed. "Don't worry. I'll take care of her."Mark sighed and leaned back in his chair, his professional demeanor unshaken. "I'll try to communicate with some specialists who might be able to help. If I find anyone willing to take on her case, I’ll let you know.""Fine. Keep me posted," I said and stood up.Mark rose as well, escorting me to the door. Just as I was about to step out, he placed a hand on my shoulder. “Lionel, you should contact her family or send someone to check on her regularly. She’ll need support, and I doubt you’ll have the time to be there constantly,” he advised cautiously.I contemplated his words for a moment. Family? Support
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 227
Gabriel's POVFor the first time, I saw my life flash before my eyes. I've heard it happen to people, but now, I have experienced it myself. I actually thought he was going to kill me. Initially, I wanted death and could face it if it came, but when my life began to drain away, my survival instinct kicked in and I struggled helplessly.Thankfully, he had let me go and even as I slipped in and out of consciousness, I could see the nurses work quickly to place an oxygen mask on my face. The sterile, clinical smell was almost comforting in contrast to the fear that was suffocating me just moments before.But the fear only lasted briefly until confusion set in. I was baffled as it turned out that Joyce's bracelet, something I had never seen, was in my study. Except for the gifts I'd given her in the past that Natalia had hijacked, I didn't own anything that belonged to Joyce.How had it ended up in my home?I had to think and rethink again to clarify. Only concrete evidence could save me
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child CHAPTER 226
LIONEL'S POV"Christina," I called out walking towards her, my nose twitching in disgust.The stench of blood was quite strong. Cuts and burns marred her once flawless skin, painting a grotesque picture of Sarah’s handiwork. Sarah had gone beyond the norms. I needed to teach her a lesson and set some boundaries. I understood I wasn't faithful, but this act was inhumane. "Christina," I called again, but still got no response.I picked up her wrist with my left arm and checked her pulse. Oh my God, it was so weak that I could hardly feel a thing.I grabbed her bloody chin to see her face clearly. Her swollen eyes were tightly shut, and blood streaked her cheeks. Her lips, cracked and pale, barely moved and I couldn't even feel air coming out of her nostrils."Christina," I called for the last time, and she stirred but her eyes remained shut.I turned sharply and barked. "Hey! Who’s outside? Someone get in here NOW!"Instantly, two men rushed in guns drawn as if ready for a fight. Their
