The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 93
Joyce's POVLigia had always known how to bring out the worst in people. Her remarks had pierced me deeply in the heart, and I had no intention of forgiving her. My pained heart was cold and unyielding. I glanced at Rafael, then at Adrian, blushing hard.She had actually called Adrian my man. It sounded pleasing to the ears, but it was just wishful thinking on my part. I wasn't even close to his type. Just because I had a child for him didn't make us a couple."What would you like to do, Joyce?" Adrian whispered into my ears."Let the police take her, so she learns her lesson," I declared with an unwavering gaze.I was done letting people trample upon me. Ligia could lose her fiancé, but I didn't give a rat's behind. Nobody did when Gabriel cheated on me with my sister."Hmph... Good choice," Adrian muttered, turning to the manager. "Have you called them?""Yes, boss. They should be here any minute now," the manager replied. He had barely settled when the blaring wail of sirens envelo

Javier's POV"Keep following them," Elizabeth ordered the driver, who obeyed and trailed after the Maybach from a safe and undetectable distance. We kept going at a slow pace until the Maybach halted, and a woman holding a blond-haired child stepped down from the car."Joyce Sanchez," Elizabeth muttered, her voice barely above a whisper as she peeked slightly through the now barely open window. "So, this is where she lives?""Yes, ma'am. She lives here with her son," the man driving replied.He was the investigator Elizabeth had hired to track Adrian's movement. He had also gathered information regarding Adrian's personal assistant for us. I must say, I was surprised. Adrian's manner of interaction with her ever since they got to the mall, had my suspicious radar flying higher than a kite.What stunned me the most was the child with them. Were those two a couple? Was that boy Adrian's son?The probability of receiving positive answers was quite high. Everyone knew how mysterious that m

Joyce's POV"Did he really stare at me like that or was it just my imagination?" I asked myself as I made dinner in the kitchen. The scene of Adrian pulling me into his embrace kept replaying in my head. I just couldn't get it off my mind no matter how hard I tried.First, he called me his woman; now, he was unabashedly flirting with me. I guess I would have to talk things out with him the next day to avoid misunderstanding.But,why was my heart beating so wildly?....A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts."Who could it be?" I muttered to myself. I walked out of the kitchen, straight to the living room and glanced at the wall clock- it was 9pm already. "For safety and security, I had a strict rule of keeping my door locked from this time until morning. Tonight was no different so I decided to ignore it.I turned to head to Rafael's room,when another knock caused me to halt. It was louder this time and I couldn't ignore it anymore. Maybe it was Adrian... Wait, why was I even think

Adrian's POVI really didn't know what came over me the moment I pulled Joyce into my arms. I guessed I was enchanted by her beauty, but the thing was she wasn't the only beautiful woman I had set my eyes on since I began my journey in the business world. Or was it because she was the mother of my child?"Boss, there's a car on our trail" James disclosed, pulling me abruptly from my thoughts."Are you sure?" I asked, my brows raised in doubt."Yes, boss" he nodded affirmatively.I bent forward and looked through the rearview mirror for confirmation. A black SUV was right behind us, moving at the same pace, which dispelled my doubts."Fine then. Just keep going. Let's see how far they intend to trail us," I ordered, settling back in my seat to make myself more comfortable."Whoever that person was, if he or she were to trail me right to my penthouse building, the outcome would be unpredictable and devastating for them. I couldn't advise my enemies to back down, I could only watch them f

Natalia's POVThe morning sickness and stomach upset had gotten worse, and I couldn't stand it any longer. I decided to visit the hospital, just as Gabriel suggested.I woke up as early as 6 am and freshened up. Gabriel was still in bed, but I decided to leave without his knowledge. I wore comfy clothes and snuck out of the room with my Gucci purse.I tiptoed down the stairs, straight to the exit when a voice made my heart jump into my mouth."Madame, are you going somewhere this early morning?" came a female voice, and I turned to see a maid holding a mop stick with a bucket in her hands.‘She must be the maid on duty,’ I said to myself, forcing a smile. "I just need to go for a morning exercise.""Dressed like this?" She questioned, eyeing my dress and purse, which got me furious."Mind your business, will you?" I snapped. "Don't you dare spill a word to anybody. You didn't see me. If you mention a word to your master, I'll make this mansion a living hell for you, coupled with a ded

Joyce's POVAs I sat alone on my bed the next morning, my mind wandered back to last night's moment that left me super flustered. I still could not believe he had kissed me, or understand how it had happened.What even made it more confusing was the fact that when he tried to pull away, I pressed into him - seeking, demanding more. All I could do was savor the details deeply etched in my memories.What if he kissed me again? Just what if....Suddenly, my fluttering heart turned cold, and the thoughts vanished. It was then I realized the gravity of the situation. That moment was never supposed to have happened. What pained me the most was how I had insisted on going along with it.Adrian and I were far apart in the social world where wealth and power ruled. Who knows? He might not have liked it. I couldn't even imagine how our encounter this morning would be. At first, I thought of taking a leave on short notice, but Adrian was just going to assume I was avoiding him.With a deep sigh

Natalia's POV"Hello, Natalia," an alluring deep baritone voice called, smooth and silky. I quickly stood up at the sight of the young man dressed in a crisp white coat and glasses. His gaze, sharp and cold, lingered on me just long enough to make it clear how much he despised my presence.I forced out a smile. "Hello, Manuel. It's been a while. How have you been?"Manuel snickered. "I don't think that's any of your business, but to answer your question, I've been doing great ever since I cut you out of my life.""That's rude," I scoffed. "It's not going to take a pound of flesh if you could just respond politely for the sake of old times.""I can't recall those old times you talk about" Manuel retorted. "What are you doing here?"I took a deep breath, deliberating on my choice of words."I'm speaking to you right now as a patient," I declared after some thought.Manuel eyed me suspiciously. "Come with me to the office."I guess that worked. He dug out a bunch of keys from his pocket a

Adrian's POV "What happened last night wasn't a mistake," I blurted out, stunning myself. I had gotten out of bed this morning with dark circles beneath my eyes because I couldn't sleep. Details of the passionate moment we shared kept popping up in my head, breaking the walls I had built around my heart. Every time I closed my eyes, I could still feel her soft touch, the warmth of her breath on my face, the intensity of her big round amber eyes, the soft flutter of her eyelids. Even now, standing this close to her sent unthinkable thoughts rushing through my mind. It was as if she had branded herself into my memory, making it impossible to shake her from my thoughts. I knew I should let it go, yet the desire to relive that moment lingered, filling me with a mix of longing and frustration. I realized I wasn't just drawn to her because of our son, but because I had been attracted to her from day one, including that night at the club. I wanted her so badly that I didn't know what cam

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
