The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 28: The Kiss
Gwen blamed the alcohol for that delusion. It was not possible that Finn was actually there. She had been thinking about him the entire night, and now was starting to see things. That man was going to make her insane. But the more she blinked, the clearer his figure became."Where have you been?" his voice crossed the air like an arrow straight to her heart. He was pissed, and also drunk. Not that she wasn't either, but she could tell just by the tone of his voice. It still amazed her how she still knew Finn so well after all those years."Finn, what are you doing here? Where's Steph?" Gwen asked, looking around, searching for her friend."She left. I told her that I'd watch Cody while you were out," he explained, taking a few steps in her direction.Gwen could see that he was a mess. His shirt was creased, he wasn't wearing a tie anymore, his hair was messy, and his cheeks were flushed."Why are you here anyway?" Gwen asked, crossing her arms. "I'm tired and you've already ruined my n

Gwen sneered, incredulous."So I wasn't wrong," she whispered to herself. Her legs gave in for a minute, and she had to sit. Her entire body was trembling now, and Finn was looking at her without understanding anything."What are you talking about?" he asked, trying to help her to sit, but Gwen shoved him away."Don't touch me!" she screamed.All her memories from that time came back like an avalanche inside her brain. She was trying to make sense of everything, but it was being very hard."Can you tell me what's going on?" Finn raised his voice, frustrated. It was clear from his face that he wasn't following anything and was nervous about her sudden anger. She almost felt pity for him, but the images inside her head were stronger than that feeling."So Vivienne has been your fiancée this entire time. She was the one engaged to you when we met, right?" Gwen asked, still trying to put the pieces together."We broke up on the day I met you. I told you that back then. So what's the big s

Gwen heard when the door of her apartment slammed behind her. Finn had left. And then she started to sob once more, her tears falling unchecked. There was no way she could tell him the whole truth, because it would cause him too much pain. And she didn't want to toss that on his lap. So she would continue to suffer alone, instead of seeing him hurt. More than he already seemed to be anyway.Gwen ended up sleeping on the couch, with her dress and make up on. She could barely distinguish Cody's voice calling her, her head feeling as though someone had taken a hammer to her skull."Mommy! Wake up! I need to go to school. Daddy is already outside," Cody said by her side, poking her arm incessantly. She woke up startled. She had never overslept before, and Cody was confused to see her so disheveled."Oh, baby. I'm so sorry," she said, getting up in a hurry and searching for Cody's uniform. She was still trying to make sense of everything, since her brain was still numb. Her hangover was k

Clyde and Gwen went to a very fancy restaurant near the company, and while they waited for the meals, Clyde went straight to the point."Since we don't have much time, I'm not beating around the bush, okay?" he started, taking a sip from the glass of water on the table.Ever since he picked Gwen at the company, she noticed that he wasn't treating her any different. She thought for a second that maybe he could be pissed because of the way she left on the previous night, but he was being his usual charming self."It came to my attention that you're very good at what you do. My company needs a great marketing team, since we're expanding," he explained. "I know you are professional. People talk, you know? And I recognize great talent when I see it.""How could you possibly know that I'm good?" Gwen asked, surprised. "I just started working at Finn's company.""Business men can tell. The campaigns you worked on so far were a success apparently. And I'm forming a team with only the best in

Gwen opened and closed her mouth several times before being able to form a proper sentence. "What did you say?" She definitely hadn't heard correctly. She couldn't have. They barely knew each other, how could he be falling for her?"I know, I told you it would sound crazy, but it's true. I can't stop thinking about you, and yesterday was only a confirmation of that," Cody explained, but nothing made sense to Gwen.It was not plausible and she didn't know what to say in return to that affirmation. "Clyde, I mean… Maybe you're mistaken. Perhaps that's just some affection you felt, we… You don't even know me," Gwen stuttered, trying to find a way to reply without being rude or hurting his feelings.One thing was certain though, she did not feel the same way. After kissing Finn the previous night, it only became clearer to her that her feelings for her son's father were still very much strong, and she couldn't do anything about it. Fight against that was in vain and a waste of time. Now

Gwen's thoughts were on fire. She knew very well she couldn't say the truth, but her heart was clearly winning that battle. He was so close and giving her all the signs that he wanted the same thing.Even though they were mad at each other, the sexual tension between them was very much alive. She could not fight that, no matter how hard she tried.Finn had the incredible ability to make her rethink every single decision she had already made about him. It was clear as crystal that she couldn't be with him anymore, but every time they were close to each other, she started to reconsider every topic on the list.Why couldn't she try again? Why did it have to be so hard for them to be together? She knew the answer to all of those questions, but that night, she failed herself; she failed being able to resist him.His fingers were still around her arms, gripping her with desperation. Finn closed his eyes for a brief second, trying to control himself. The kiss from the previous night was glue

"I already gave you a chance to disappear with your son forever but, apparently, you decided that our agreement was over. I'm only going to advise you once. Take your kid and get the hell out of this town, leave Finn for good, or face the consequences. You already know what they are."Gwen read the letter twice, her hands shaking compulsively. It was hard to breathe, her legs didn't seem to be following her command, and her brain was numb. She knew that was a possibility, but she wasn't expecting it any time soon. Just when she decided to try to make things work with Finn again. It was like she was being watched. Luck was definitely not on her side.She had to leave. Leave Finn, leave town, leave this new life behind; a life she shouldn't have allowed herself to live in the first place. She had been threatened before, but even so, she decided to play with fate.Now she would have to pay if she didn't do anything. Gathering the strength she didn't know she had, Gwen got up from the fl

"What? Why?" Gwen asked nervously, squeezing Cody's hand involuntarily."Do you have the written authorization from the kid's father to leave the country?" the attendant asked, and Gwen cursed herself. She never needed that before, so why were they asking for that now?"He doesn't have a father," she whispered, trying not to be heard by Cody. She couldn't say that in front of the kid, it didn't matter if it was a lie.The airline staff looked at her as if she was crazy and turned to type something again. People behind Gwen were starting to get impatient by the delay, causing exactly what Gwen didn't want; to attract too much attention."Miss Miller, that's not the information I have on my system. Could you please follow the security so you can clarify this?""What? No, I can't miss this flight," Gwen refused, noticing two security guards getting closer to her and Cody. She couldn't make a scene in the middle of the airport. People could recognize her or Cody, since he was the acknowle

One year laterGwen had been a walking bomb lately as she organized everything for the wedding. Even though Finn had put every type of professional needed at her disposal, Gwen wanted to be present for every single decision.Ever since she said yes to his proposal when they were spending a weekend getaway in Hawaii, Gwen decided that she wouldn't be just the CEO's wife. She wanted to keep control over things, continue to work and make her own choices.She knew what that position would bring to her life, but she was finally ready to accept it. She had proven herself enough, so whatever the media had to say about her, she was ready to take it.But for her surprise, when people discovered about their engagement, Gwen received a lot of gifts, got a lot of offers from companies for modeling, and even discovered a whole fanbase that rooted for her and Finn.Cody became the happiest kid in the world when he heard that his mom and dad were going to get married soon. Gwen could never have aske
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 49: Mother and Son
"What are you doing here?" Finn asked, recovering from the shock of seeing the woman at the door. He had just received the call he was waiting for the entire day, and he did not expect her to show up so soon. In fact, he wasn't expecting to see her at all.Marcy sneered, passing by Gwen as if she was just part of the furniture. She didn't even glance at her."It came to my attention that you were investigating me," she said towards Finn. "Imagine my surprise to know that my son was sending detectives to put their noses in my businesses?" Gwen watched, with her mouth opened, the woman make herself at home as usual when she simply grabbed the glass of wine they were drinking at the balcony and sat on the couch.Finn's expression was hard to read. Gwen couldn't tell if he was shocked, angry, sad or disappointed. Or maybe it was all of those.Marcy opened her small crocodile skin handbag and took a cigarette from it, lit it up and inhaled very deeply, unconcerned about the two staring at
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 48: Revelations
The next morning, Gwen opened her eyes, and Finn was still by her side on his enormous bed. She didn't remember when they finally fell asleep the previous night, but just the memories of their rendezvous made her feel butterflies in her stomach again.She had so much she wanted to ask him, so much to catch up, but she'd rather take things slower this time."Morning." His hoarse voice echoed by her side, and she turned to look at him."Good morning." She leaned forward and placed a kiss on his cheek."Are you feeling better?" Finn asked.Gwen nodded, still mesmerized that she was really waking up by his side. If her past self saw this scene, she wouldn't believe it."Guess we'll have a lot to catch up on the next few days, right?" he joked, pulling her closer for a hug.She stayed there, quiet and cozy against his chest, only feeling him breathe and enjoying that moment."Do you think Cody is already awake? I was thinking we could all skip work and class today and just do something fun,
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 47: Sealed Love
The touch of Finn's chest on her skin made Gwen beg for more. Her body was physically aching from wanting him so bad. She had no idea how she could feel something so strong like that, and it only made her want to continue.Finn had been caught by surprise, but as soon as he realized that Gwen had taken the initiative, which meant she wanted the same thing as him, he put his hands around her waist and pulled her even closer.His hands were unraveling every part of her skin that was uncovered, but it didn't take long for him to get rid of her dress.Gwen felt his fingers squeeze her thighs and her butt, making her gasp with desire. She wanted him. It was that simple. Passing her hands all over his bare chest, she started to push him backward.When his legs bumped into the mattress, she shoved him over it, forcing Finn down on the bed. He widened his eyes at her, and Gwen saw the unspoken question in his gaze. But she had made her mind, and she didn't feel like talking about it at that mo
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 46: Reality Strikes
"Are you sure your heard her voice?" Finn asked, his expression now darkened. "Maybe you imagined or dreamed it, Cody." But Cody was shaking his head firmly."No, daddy. It was grandma. I called her but she didn't come to see me. I think she doesn't like me," Cody stated, lowering his head.Gwen felt sad for her son, but that's what she wanted to hear. That was enough proof for Finn to believe her now, right? If Marcy was at the same place as Cody when he was kidnapped, that was more enough to prove her involvement. She wondered if Finn would think the same.Afraid to make eye contact to him, but dying inside to see how he reacted, Gwen lifted her head to look at Finn, and the scene she saw was heartbreaking.He looked devastated. His shoulders were down, as if he was carrying a truck on top of them; his eyes were looking at Cody, soulless and incredulous; it was like all his energy and kindness had been ripped from him."It can't be…" he murmured to himself. Gwen looked from him to
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 45: Feeling Sick
It had been ages since Gwen had woken up feeling so poorly. The sheet beneath her was soaked in sweat; her head was heavy and her whole body ached. Even the slightest movement made her regret moving at all."Oh, God…" she murmured to herself."Are you alright?" Finn's voice echoed in the dark.The whole room was dark and it was hard to tell where exactly she was. She saw Finn's silhouette as he slowly opened a curtain, letting in the morning light.Gwen blinked a few times to adjust her sight to the sudden brightness, and then she saw the most beautiful sight she'd ever seen. Finn was there, looking at her with concerned eyes, his hair wet, wearing only black clothes which Gwen though that made him even sexier.He came towards her holding a tray full of fruits, pancakes with syrup, orange juice and cereal. A whole breakfast meal just for her; and in bed, which was something that Gwen was not used to at all."I… I think I've had better days," she finally answered, after recovering from
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 44: Cody's Back
"Is he alright?" she asked, getting up from the bed hastily.Her head spun for a moment, and Finn had to hold her and put her on the bed again."Yes, he is. They are bringing him to us now."Gwen started to cry again as soon as reality hit her. Her son was okay. Nothing else mattered at that moment. All she wanted was to take Cody in her arms and hug him like she never did before.The next minutes passed in slow motion for her. She could hear the clock ticking and she couldn't stop shaking her legs impatiently.Finn was walking from side to side, very thoughtful. He didn't say anything else, which bothered her for a moment. But she also thought it was better that way, because she still had a lot to say to him about his mother, and without proof, she would only provoke another fight.When she heard the doorbell, it was like her soul had gotten out of her body. She rushed to follow Finn, who had already been on his way to open the door.When her eyes fell upon the little boy, wearing the
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 43: Real Nightmare
Gwen collapsed on her chair immediately after she heard that. Stephanie didn't need to say anything else; she was pretty sure who was behind it.But nothing crossed Gwen's mind about what to do. If she was right, there was nothing she could do, her hands were tied. But she wouldn't leave her son alone. She would go through hell to get him back."Gwen? Gwen!" Stephanie yelled on the other side, since Gwen didn't say anything."I'll tell Finn, I'll call you back." She hung up the phone, and gathering strength from somewhere deep inside her soul, Gwen got up and rushed to the elevator to go to Finn's office.As soon as she got there, she didn't wait to see if she could come in or not. She simply burst in, invading his office like she owned the place. She didn't care what he was going to think about it, Cody's life was much more important than anything else."Gwen, what happened?" He looked at her with puzzled eyes. He was checking something on the computer screen in front of him, so Gwen
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 42: Missed Calls
"Are you sure about this?" he asked, taking another sip from his drink. "You won't have another chance like this in your life ever again. Is this because of Finn?"His posture caught Gwen's attention. It was like an entire different person had taken his place. She had never seen Clyde so serious and bitter. His jaw was clenched, his eyes were avoiding Gwen, and his knuckles were white from gripping the glass so hard."I'm sorry, Clyde," she repeated. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I really thought we could make this work, but I can't. I'm a mess right no-""Fine," he interrupted her. "You don't have to explain yourself to me. You can do whatever you want. It's your life anyway."Gwen was left open-mouthed, speechless. She would never imagine he would react that way. He was always so kind and warm to her. Was he really going to treat her that way just because she didn't accept his job offer? Or reciprocate his feelings?But when she was about to say something back, he simply finished the l
