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 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 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 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 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 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 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

"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
