The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child CHAPTER 41
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. My he

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

Adrian's POVIt's been a couple of hours since Maria's video broke the internet. The PR team had their eyes glued to their computer screens, most especially Daniel who was multitasking on different computers."Have you erased Maria's call logs?" I asked in a low voice.He nodded without lifting his head. "Yes, even the bank transfer cannot be traced to us. We have nothing to worry about.""Good," I murmured with satisfaction. "How's the situation at Gerrovial Infrastructure? Any news from their side?""Sir, the man's wife is currently in the hospital," Juan butted in. "It seems she was frail, and the incident was a huge blow to her.""Yes, the rumors about her being the owner of Gerrovial Infrastructure are true," Daniel added."Mr. Goméz and his daughter are at the company as we speak. They'll be making their move anytime now," Juan muttered."Ugh... They can't outsmart me. I'm always one step ahead of my opponents," I scoffed with pride in my voice. "What about the company itself?""

Antonio's POV"Arrrghh!!" I growled in frustration, tugging my hair.I never expected that brat to be this smart. I thought voicing out our assumptions to him would make him confirm the accusation, but he hadn't fallen for the trap."Boss, a majority of our investors have withdrawn from the company. The board members are also leaving," Javier said, walking up to me."I also discovered someone is buying shares from the company at a fast rate. It won't be long before the company's value reduces to nothing. What do we do?"I was short of words. Everything was happening so fast, and I couldn't do anything about it."Dad, he said he's suing me for defamation," Elizabeth said, her face darkened as she stood rooted on the spot.The situation was traumatic for both of us. Our world seemed to be caving in and fast.My secretary, Elena, reported, "Sir, there's an email from a lawyer stating your daughter is to appear in court in two days.""The police are on their way. If they took you with them

Adrian's POVA female employee burst into the room, startling everyone."I'm sorry, Mr. Ortega, but you have visitors," she stated with bated breath."Who are they?" I asked, frowning."The CEO of Gerrovial Infrastructure, his daughter, and his assistant," she replied, stunning everyone in the room."Why is he here?" Daniel gasped in surprise."We don't know. I hope he's not here to cause any harm," Michael replied, his brows furrowed.I scoffed inwardly at their childish thoughts and said, "This is my territory, not his. I doubt he's here to cause trouble because he lacks the resources or power to do such.""What do we do?" Juan inquired with a cautious tone.'Good question,' I thought, deliberating on it momentarily."Usher them into the conference room," I ordered the female employee. "Michael, watch the meeting through the security cameras. Daniel and Joyce, you're coming with me."I took long strides out of the PR department, heading to the conference room as fast as possible to

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
