The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 49
Antonio's POVSelling my wife's legacy was better than having it shut down by the government. Logically, if Gerrovial Infrastructure were to go bankrupt, I would lose everything- my family, wealth, and freedom. I was going to jail anyway.I felt tempted to accept the offer. He promised a considerable price that would benefit both sides. I didn't want to believe his words at first, but Javier had signaled to me to listen to what he had to say.I was ready to listen to what he was about to offer, but my spoilt daughter had to disrupt the conversation at the most inconvenient time."Please, you can ask for anything in return, but not my mother's company," she stated, her eyes brimming with tears.I nudged her gently with a whisper. "Keep quiet, Lizzy. Let's hear what he has to say."She effortlessly ignored my warnings and approached Mr. Ortega from her seat."What are you doing?" I gasped in shock, staring at her in disbelief as she knelt before Mr. Ortega. Even Javier was stunned by her

ADRIAN'S POV"Sir, we should celebrate," Daniel suggested excitedly as soon as Antonio and the others left, his voice brimming with excitement."Hmph... Let's go back to the PR department." I stood up.We exited the conference room and headed for the PR department, where everyone stood, eagerly waiting for us to deliver the news."We've acquired Gerrovial Infrastructure," Daniel announced and half screamed, and immediately, the news was welcomed with rounds of applause and joyful cheers that reverberated through the room.It wasn't monumental, but it was worth celebrating."How about a celebratory party," one of the ladies suggested."Yes! Oh yes, please! It is an unwritten tradition here. We always do whenever the company achieves a new milestone," another lady squealed.Daniel giggled, his eyes holding mine, silently begging for approval. "I know you're eager to party and ease some stress, but we’ll need the boss’s go-ahead before we can indulge in preparations."Everyone's piercing

ANTONIO'S POVElizabeth and I jumped out of the car and ran straight into the hospital building. We didn't meet anyone at the reception, so we passed through the elevator and headed for the Intensive Care Unit, where Isabel was transferred."Where's Dr. Torres?" I asked, aggressively grabbing the hands of a nurse I had met on the way. She seemed to be heading somewhere.The nurse flinched with fear etched on her face, but I couldn't care less. The image of my wife was the only thing clouding my memory at that moment."Calm down, Mr. Goméz," the nurse said, trying to release her hands from my grasp."I want to see my wife," I yelled in frustration. I was called and told to come here urgently. Where's the doctor?""He's with your wife right now," She replied, shuddering.I released her hands and walked briskly to the ICU unit. We arrived in front of the room and saw a shocking scene through the glass protecting the room from outsiders.Dr. Torres and a team of medical staff surrounded I

Joyce's POVI was informed that the personal assistant of Mr. Goméz had arrived and was waiting for me in the meeting room."I'm leaving, sir," I announced to Adrian, who gave a slight nod with his eyes glued to his phone. The sudden news of the deceased's passing was shocking, but it was also expected.I picked up the necessary materials I'd need and stepped out of the office. The thought of Rafael popped up in my head. I felt the urge to check on him, but then I remembered I had a business to attend to.Adrian wanted the whole process of acquisition to end today.I pushed the door to the room and walked in to see a young man sitting on a chair. He was the same person I saw earlier today, but his appearance was disheveled."Hello, Mr. Javier. I'm sorry I'm late," I apologized politely, taking my seat.He was sitting before me so that I could see his swollen eyes."Are you okay, Mr. Javier?" I asked worriedly, but I didn't get a reply. His eyes seemed distant, his mind elsewhere.Relu

Adrian's POVI slowly opened my eyes to the harsh lights of my office, exhaustion clinging to me. My head was throbbing, and my body was stiff. I gently adjusted my seat, displeased that I had fallen asleep.It was then that I noticed the jacket draped over my body. My seat had also been made to lean backward. I had no memories of carrying out those actions before falling asleep, so I chose to ignore them.My gaze darted round the room, from Joyce's empty spot to the table clock in front of me.It was already 9 pm. There was definitely nobody left in the building.Groggy, I stood up from my chair and grabbed my jacket, ensuring I regained consciousness well enough.I passed through the elevator and got out of the building. James, my personal chauffeur, was already waiting patiently for me while leaning on the car."Good evening, boss," He greeted with a bow, his hands covered in gloves placed on his chest. "Are we heading to the penthouse?""Yes," I nodded in affirmation. He opened th

Joyce's POVThe morning was like every other: exhausted smiles, soggy cereals, and the frantic rush to get my little one ready for daycare on time.I made him use his face cap and rushed out of the house. It was already 8:30 a.m.; I couldn't afford to be late for the meeting. I boarded a cab, which took us right to Santoria Industries.The next step was to drop Rafael off at the daycare. Madame Pat greeted me stoically, and I smiled, trying to ease the awkward tension.""Good morning, Madame Pat," I greeted politely."Good morning to you, too," she replied flatly."I won't be late this time," I assured her.She ignored me and greeted Rafael with a smile. I watched him settle down before leaving for the office. I sighed in relief when I got there and noticed Adrian wasn't in by the time I arrived.The incident from last night flashed before me, and I tensed at the thought of him finding out that I was the one who had tried to make him a tad bit comfortable as he slept."I shook my head

Adrian's POVI drummed my fingers on the table, checking my wristwatch occasionally. Joyce had yet to return since she left to get my coffee.Had she found a new recipe, or was she caught up with something?I couldn't tell.At that moment, I decided to leave to look for her if she wasn't back in two minutes. It was 9:25 a.m. already, and we had yet to go for the meeting.The door was suddenly flung open, and Joyce appeared with a tray in her arms, looking agitated.I frowned. "What took you so long?""I'm sorry, sir. Mr. Daniel stopped me to invite me to the celebratory party on Friday. He said I had to come in your place," She replied, breathing heavily.She had been running."It's fine. You're granted permission to attend, but first, we must deal with this meeting," I stated, standing up hurriedly from my seat. I approached her, grabbed the coffee from the tray, and sipped. It was quite better than the last one I had."Get every material needed for the meeting. We're leaving now," I

Gabriel's POVNatalia really did it this time. She didn't stop at making me believe she would delete the video after making those calls; she had to go as far as putting me under surveillance for the next two weeks. I couldn't even bring myself to express my frustration to Ivan, who stood before me."Sir... Mr. Moreno?" His worried voice snapped me back to reality. "Boss, were you listening to what I've been saying?"I massaged my throbbing head. "What were you saying again?"He stared at me with a weird expression. "You asked if I had any updates for you today?""And?" I inquired with a feeling of apprehension."I said the deal we had with the Smith company is moving forward, and the marketing team has finalized the campaign for the new product launch.""Smith company?" I asked, trying to remember where I had heard the name from. The pressure on me had been too much lately."Boss, are you sure you're okay?" Ivan questioned."Just answer the damn question," I half yelled, irritated by

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
