The Billionaire's Secret: A Nasty Web of Lies Chapter 34
The silence between both men was thick with curiosity, malice and resentment, as they busied themselves with their thoughts in Thane's yard.Adrian, standing, gripped a glass of wine in his hands as his eyes shifted from left to right, scanning the area for nothing in particular, lost in his head.Thane on the other hand sat in his wheelchair thinking of how wonderful it'll feel having a mini him running around in a tiny suit and tie ready to learn all what he was going to teach him.'It might not be that bad after all. All you need to do is literally get off your ass and take charge of that little girl who's going to be your wife.'"What's your plan, Thane?" Adrian suddenly broke the silence, his voice calm, but there was a clear edge to his tone.Thane didn't respond immediately, as if searching for the right words to say, but deep down, he could feel Adrian's tension.Only a fool would not see that Adrian still wanted Lena, and Thane was planning to make it hard for him-or kill him

"So you let her lie in your bed just to ease your conscience?" Dante's voice echoed through the large, spacious, but well- equipped gym as he moved a barbell with his foot.Thane wheeled over to the area Dante had cleared for him. And with effort accompanied by a groan, he stood up. "Fuck." He muttered and stumbled back a bit. Dante instinctively stepped forward, but Thane waved him off.Slowly, he walked over to the workout bench and slowly lowered himself on it, trying his best not to put too much pressure on his back."I feel like a fucking vegetable." He said, steadying himself on the bench and yanking off his upper clothes so he was shirtless."You okay?" Dante asked, watching Thane closely. A bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face and soaked his black tank top, indicating he was previously working out."Hand me the dumbbell." Thane ordered, ignoring Dante's little attempt to be caring. Dante passed it over with ease, but as Thane took it, a strained grunt escaped his lip

More than half the seats in the graveyard were already filled up when the black tinted SUV pulled up in between the other luxury cars, followed by two other cars.A man stepped out from one car and opened the SUV's back door where Thane sat, while another did the same on the opposite side for Lena. Then Lena circled around to grab Thane's wheelchair.'You're not supposed to be here, you know. Fiance snatcher!' her conscience mocked once more, as she set the chair close to Thane's door, so he got on it easily.Without wasting more time, they approached the main grounds.If one looked closely at Lena's legs, one would see that they were shaking as they got closer to where the rite was performed.What made it worse was the multiple pairs of eyes which had turned and were looking straight at them.Overall, Lena was grateful she'd picked out her outfit herself-a long black netted gown with a hood to cover her hair. The main purpose was to hide her entire body. Coupled with the dark shades

Lena turned away, focusing her eyes on the headstones again as if trying to read the names on each one. She wrapped her arms tighter around herself, avoiding Adrian's gaze."What are you doing here?" She finally spoke, her voice soft."I saw what happened between you and Thane." He answered, ignoring her question.Lena's jaw clenched. 'Son of a bitch!' she frowned, keeping her eyes on the misspelt name on a marble headstone."So? You stalk me now?" She asked, trying to mask the lingering hurt still shimmering inside her. "I shouldn't have interfered. It was none of my business.""Or maybe..." Adrian chipped in smoothly, "He just doesn't respect you or your feelings."Lena's gaze snapped to his.Adrian's eyes were dark, unreadable–just like Thane's. That was the one thing they shared, a reminder that they were blood.She turned away again, brushing her fingers against the frame of the glasses she'd taken off. "Don't say that." A brief smile appeared on Adrian's face. "You don't see it

'She's carrying your child, forgive her.' Thane repeated in his head, his eyes on his phone as they rode in silence back home. Lena on the other hand kept her eyes out the window trying to steady her shaky hands which were still clutching the card Adrian had given her.'Why is he so quiet? You literally ignored him again in front of Adrian.' her mind panicked, forcing herself to focus on the passing scenery along the road.Thane shifted in his seat, his body itching to grab her by the arm and squeeze her neck while he questioned her about the reason she still had the guts to speak to Adrian.'Your child is growing inside her. Dante said-'"What's in your hand?" he blurted, ignoring the voice in his head.Lena's breath hitched, and she tightened her grip on the card. "Nothing important." She replied, the firmness of her voice surprising her."Don't-" "Did you love Tessa?" Lena swiftly interrupted, her panic boiling down a little as she changed the subject.Thane lifted his head and t

A month earlier With shaky hands and a smile of excitement plastered on her lips, Lena rang the doorbell of the large, elegantly structured house. Adrenaline rushed up to her brain, and she felt jittery with happiness as her dirt-stained fingers made their way to caress the flat circular pendant of her golden necklace.She walked over to the window beside the door and peered through. The classy golden brown interior was just as she remembered, but a bit shinier. "Looks like Adrian had the maids prepare for my return," she thought, her stomach fluttering with butterflies."I miss him so much!" She beamed and bounced back to the front door, ringing the bell again with more excitement."Coming!" A female voice sang from within.Lena paused, frowning for a nanosecond. She knew that voice. "How thoughtful of Mira to come help Adrian set up the house," she thought, her heart ringing with more joy.The door opened with a swift movement, and Lena's wide smile plastered back on her face. "M

Present day Lena sat on the couch in the silent, empty house, staring at the magazine which she'd gotten from the store. She stared at its flat figure, resting on the table like if she touched it, it would explode. The grey-blue eyes which stared back at her were bright, yet dark and she still couldn't believe it was him; the same man who she'd met in prison and made her life feel like hell, was clad in a three piece suit which exaggerated his athletic build and chiselled jaw. And if that wasn't enough, he's getting married to Tessa Maddox; THE Tessa Maddox! "It can't be possible." Lena whispered, wallowing in her disbelief as her eyes read the tagline "The man, the myth, the legend: Thane Moneau's journey to the top." 'What top?!' her head screamed still not accepting the fact she was staring at a billionaire boss. The same Thane who is the son of her now dead boss. Her eyes strayed to the date on the magazine; fifth of February. Her brows furrowed and she tilted her head bef

Lena could now see why Dante kept saying "we" when he was the only one who came into the house. He had her cramped between himself and another man who hadn't glanced at her when she got into the car.'What was inside the briefcase that needed so many men to come get?' Lena thought. But that was the least of her problems.It was pitch black outside, and they'd been driving for what seemed like an hour. She'd have been certain of the time if she had a phone or wristwatch, but all she had was the fading top and pants she wore, as Dante hadn't given her a chance to take anything from the house.He told her it was Thane's orders. "Bulldoze the house and build something else on it," she'd heard Thane instruct when he was done speaking to her. "Bring her straight here before getting the package to where it should be." After that, he'd said something she hadn't paid attention to.But Lena didn't mind, she was finally out of that place.With zero expectations, she stared straight ahead as the

With the corner of her eye, Lena stole glances at Thane as he typed away on the screen in front of him, while she laid the duvet smoothly over his bed.Apparently, she still did chores around his room, only that there were now extra jobs, and she did them all while wearing fancy outfits Cecil had gotten her. "What is that?" Thane suddenly said, jolting Lena out of her thoughts as she turned to him. "What?" She asked quietly, standing straight with her hands clasped in front of her.Thane just raised an eyebrow at her and pointed to his other ear, which was out of her view, indicating he was on a call. "Oh." she mumbled before letting her eyes search the large, sparkling room for something else she could do."Did you find them?" Thane's voice came again. "Good, now put them on the next flight to Canada." He said and paused again. "His wife, a good job, and the kids, good schools, understood?" It's been days since the entire drama about her pregnancy, but all Thane had made her feel

"Why do we have to go to your cousin's house?" Mira groaned for like the hundredth time that morning, holding a scowl on her pretty face.Adrian ignored her, pretending to be very focused on massaging her leg that rested on his lap, as the car cruised smoothly along the highway.He really didn't want to answer her questions as they always went through this argument circle over and over each time he brought up Thane.But he was patient. After all, she was pregnant.Mira, annoyed by his silence, frowned when she got no reply from him. Suddenly, she leaned forward and nudged him on his shoulder. "Answer me!" She demanded, her voice raising slightly.Finally, Adrian turned to her, a look of partial exhaustion written all over his face. "He just got out of the hospital, Mira. It's only human to go see him." He explained softly before returning to massaging her leg."Besides, you didn't let me spend some time with him the last time we went visiting."Mira's frown morphed into a mixture of d

The drive back to the house seemed longer than when they'd come, but that wasn't what bothered Lena as the woman's voice from child protection rang in her ears."What do you mean?" Cecil had asked with a deep frown."It says he died twenty-two hours after he was brought in because of the way he was born, and some other complications." Lena felt a sharp pain in her chest, like a physical blow, and she almost physically felt blood shoot up to her throat.'It's not possible!' her mind screamed as she unconsciously stumbled backwards, her knees almost giving out."Please, check again." Lena said, trying to get a grip on herself and convincing herself that the lady had gone mad. "It can't be my Aaron." The woman just stared straight into Lena's eyes and shook her head, her eyes filled with sympathy. "I'm sorry, ma'am." She said quietly."Are you sure of what you're saying?" Cecil asked, but the woman nodded, confirming what she'd just said. Lena turned away, her sight beginning to blur,
The Billionaire's Secret: A Nasty Web of Lies Chapter 30
A heavy silence filled the air as Lena stared at Cecil, searching for a reaction or any form of emotion to what she'd just confessed. But she got nothing from Cecil, whose expression remained unchanged for a few more seconds.But finally, she crossed her legs, a small frown forming on her brows. "What do you mean?" she asked calmly.Lena bit her lips and looked away, silently begging the tears pooling beneath her eyes not to fall.This was the first time she was speaking about it and she never thought the memory would hurt this much.She tugged carelessly at her fingers, searching for the words to begin and surprisingly, Cecil was patient enough, giving her enough time she needed."The day I found out I was pregnant was the day Adrian was supposed to go to jail." She began, her voice trembling as she remembered the pleading look on Adrian's face when the police stormed into their house. "I'd just gotten back from the hospital and the test results were in my hands." She continued shak
