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

Joyce's POVI didn't realize I had blurted out my feelings until I saw the flabbergasted look on his face. A stab of regret pierced my heart, causing severe despair. I couldn't face him at that moment, so when I took hold of the opportunity and dashed out, ignoring Daniel's questioning gaze.I didn't know where I was heading. All I wanted was a place far from Adrian's office. I thought of going to check up on Rafael, but then I spotted a familiar figure standing beside the vending machine. I walked closer to get a clearer view of this person."Michelle!" I screamed in excitement, my lips curved in a relieved smile.She stopped what she was doing and turned to identify the person who had interrupted her work. Upon seeing me, her face softened, her brow relaxed, and a silent relief appeared on her face, as though my presence had lifted an unseen weight she had been bearing."My goodness, Joyce! What are you doing here?" Michelle exclaimed, walking up to me."Well...." I trailed off, fai

Natalia's POVI slowly opened my eyes, my mind groggy. A wave of dizziness and nausea washed over me as I tried to lift my head. My gaze fluttered around the unfamiliar hospital room as the scent of antiseptic wafted through my nostrils."Where am I?" I muttered my voice hoarse and my head spinning.Gradually, memories of my visit to a hospital, my conversation with Manuel, and the news I had received flooded my mind, increasing the throbbing pain in my head.I let out a painful groan, using all the strength left in me to press the green button by the bedside. After what seemed like an eternity, the door creaked open and the nurse who had taken my blood samples earlier walked into the room. She held a tray with a glass of water on it."How do you feel?" she asked, approaching me.I brushed off her question and grabbed the glass of water, downing it all in one gulp. I exhaled heavily, feeling the instant relief on my patched throat."Where's Dr. Manuel?" I asked, my voice low and impat

Adrian's POV"You're in love with her!!" Miguel exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "¡Anda! Dime la verdad!""No, I'm not!" I vehemently denied it. "¡Por supuesto que no! I'm only attracted to her.""Is that so?" Miguel questioned with a sarcastic tone, giving me his signature arched brow. "You're lying to yourself, big boy. From the way you speak about her, it's obvious you're in love with her. Uff...I don't know what to say, man.""Yeah," I sighed. "I'm confused too. I haven't felt this way before.""Wow, Adrian. Who would have thought eh? Playboy billionaire got bitten by the love bug? It's true love changes people," Miguel exclaimed, his lips curved in a smirk."When was the last time you expressed your feelings to anyone like this? You should indulge these feelings... I'm really interested in seeing the new changes it would cause.""Shut up, Miguel" I snapped, slightly irritated at his truth. "What if she doesn't feel the same way I do? That bastard called Gabriel made

Natalia's POV It was not difficult finding the Cruz Estate, since it seems the cab I had ordered had been to the place a couple of times. I was stopped at the checkpoint and had my body and bag checked with a metal detector. I felt it took almost forever before the security guard decided to let me in. It seemed the estate had its own personal cabs, so I ordered one and gave the driver the exact description I got from Barrio. The driver looked a bit taken aback at first, but he agreed to take me there since I was paying. I slipped into the back seat and stared out the window, lost in thought as we drove in complete silence. Finally, the car slowed, and he pulled up in front of a large, imposing gate. I alighted from the car, staring at the gate with my mouth agape. It was the first time I was seeing a gate as large as the one protecting Gabriel's mansion. There was no security guard at the post so I assumed the estate was heavily guarded since the house had no security measures put

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.
The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child Chapter 210
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
