The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 11: A New Threat
In New York, the clock struck midnight. The rain began to fall, its drops hitting the roofs of tall buildings hard, adding to the gloom of the dark night. In a far corner of the city, a federal building stood tall, its main gate slowly opening. The dim light of a streetlamp bounced off the puddles, highlighting the figure of a man stepping out with his head held high.Samuel Abraham.The man in his thirties did not look like a recently released prisoner. An expensive gray suit wrapped around his body, giving him an elegant appearance that contrasted with his long sentence. His face was clean, without a beard, and his brown hair was neatly combed. Next to him, an older man in a black suit matched his pace, clutching a heavy-looking leather briefcase.“Welcome back, Mr. Samuel,” the old man said in a respectful tone. This was Roland, the loyal attorney who had always stood by Samuel's side through the toughest of trials. Roland knew his client's dark side — the secrets that were never

The sun had just appeared on the eastern horizon, its rays coming through the curtains of the magnificent bedroom window and shining on the face of Cassandra, who was still asleep. The morning air was cool, but there was another warmth that made her slowly open her eyes. As her eyes began to focus, the first thing she saw was Caspian, shirtless, his abs clearly visible, exuding a charming masculinity. He sat quietly on the sofa, reading a book while sipping his coffee. The aroma of fresh coffee mixed with the scent of Caspian's skin filled the room.Cassandra choked up, not expecting to see such a scene so early in the morning. Her body stiffened for a moment before she smiled weakly. “You're not wearing a shirt.”Caspian turned his head to reveal a seductive smile. “Good morning, dear. You're up. Would you like some breakfast?” He asked, getting up from the sofa and walking leisurely towards the kitchen. The muscles in his arms and back moved in sync, mesmerizing Cassandra, who cou

Alaric kept his promise to Selene—to introduce her to his father.They arrived at Caspian's house in the morning. Selene stood beside Alaric with an ambitious, veiled smile. She imagined how perfect her life would be now that she was part of Verity's family.But after ringing the bell several times, no servant came. There was no sign of life, and Caspian was nowhere to be seen. Alaric grew impatient, his face hardening.“Why isn't anyone answering the door?” muttered Alaric, his voice beginning to sound annoyed. Without hesitation, he opened the door, which turned out to be unlocked. “Just come in, Selene,” he ordered in an authoritative tone.As soon as they stepped inside, the scent of mahogany wood and fresh flowers immediately filled their nostrils. The ballroom-sized living room was deserted.Marble columns stood tall. Stained-glass windows with gold carvings reflected the morning sun. Huge crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, reflecting light onto the white marble floor th

Selene tried to calm her heart, but the opulence of Caspian's home still loomed large in her mind. The crystal sparkle of the chandelier, the perfect white marble, and the power inherent in Caspian's form were all the life she should have had. But in reality, Cassandra sat in the house as if she were the queen. She looked at Alaric sharply, her frustration growing as they sat in the car and drove away. “Why aren't you doing anything?!” Selene broke the silence, her voice rising. “We got kicked out without a fight! I haven't even had a chance to sit down, let alone enjoy tea in your father's mansion!” Alaric drummed his fingers roughly on the wheel, his face flushed with annoyance. “Didn't you see how angry Daddy was earlier? You're only making things worse with your attitude, Selene!” “Was I wrong?!” Selene shot her a smoldering glare. “Cassandra is nobody! She has no right to be in your father's mansion! I'm your future fiancé, Alaric! I should have a place there, not her!”Alari

The afternoon sky in the back garden of the mansion looked warm, but Cassandra felt cold. Not because of the weather, but because of the fear that always lurked within her. She sat quietly in the wicker chair, watching the flower beds sway gently in the breeze. But her mind was never at rest. Caspian came silently, as always, carrying an aura that could not be ignored. He flopped into the chair next to Cassandra, his long arms resting on the back of the chair.“You look uncomfortable,” he said softly, breaking the silence. Cassandra sighed, trying to find words that wouldn't betray her confusion. “I was just thinking…” she murmured, turning to him with a weaker-than-usual look in her eyes.“Thinking about what?” Caspian leaned forward, showing his interest. “About us, about how my life has changed drastically since I met you,” she wanted to say. But what came out of her mouth was, “People. What they say about me.” Caspian raised his eyebrows, understanding where this was going. “

The night air was bone-chilling, even though the interior of Caspian's car was warm. Cassandra leaned her head against the windowpane, but her mind was never completely at ease. Samuel's name still echoed in her head, bringing back every hurt she'd tried to forget over the years. “Cassandra, you don't look your usual self.” Caspian's voice broke the silence.Cassandra lifted her face slowly, looking up at the man through the dim shadows of the streetlights. The look in Caspian's eyes was thoughtful, but it only made the weight on her chest heavier. Caspian had always been gentle and loving. She was afraid that if Samuel came into their lives, everything would change.“I'm just tired,” she murmured, forcing a smile that didn't reach her eyes.Caspian took her hand. “You know, I'm not going to force you to talk. But whatever it is, I'm here. For you.”A sting ran through her heart. Cassandra wanted to believe Caspian.How could she explain the truth without risking everything?Especial

-Flashback-Cassandra hugged herself in the middle of the night. She sat in the corner of Samuel's penthouse. Tears streamed down her cheeks, while Samuel's voice continued to echo in her ears.“You have nowhere else to go but me,” the man had said a few hours earlier, after he managed to destroy Cassandra's only contact with her family. “Your family doesn't care about you. Your parents left you forever. Meanwhile, Maxian is busy with his company and his wife. Then the rest of your family chose to be busy with their affairs and left you in solitude.”Cassandra looked up when Samuel cupped her face. She didn't blink as the man's fingers wiped away her tears. “But my uncle still cares about me. He worries about me.”“Shhh…” Samuel shook his head softly with a sharp look in his eyes. His touch turned rough, his sharp nails pressing against Cassandra's soft cheek. “I know all your family, dear. That uncle of yours doesn't really care about you. He only cares about the shares in your compa

Cassandra pulled her woolen coat tightly around her body, her eyes staring out the fog-covered car window. The road leading to Maxian's house felt long, like it was leading her into an invisible trap. The rain began to fall, soaking the glass until it reflected the image of her face, which looked more tired than usual. Maxian's house was in sight, grand yet cold, just like its owner. Cassandra took a deep breath before opening the car door. However, before her feet stepped into the courtyard, a heavy voice she recognized all too well stopped her.“Good afternoon, Cassandra.” The voice made her nape crawl.Samuel stood under an old oak tree in the corner of the courtyard, hands stuffed into the pockets of his black suit. His smile was wide, but there was no warmth there. “What are you doing here?” Cassandra tried to keep her tone calm, though her heartbeat was beginning to race against the clock.“Making sure you're okay. Family is always important, right? Especially with such a big

The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 56: You and Me In This World
Alaric's POVI never thought this moment would come so soon.Three years ago, I watched Freya fill out her university application form with trembling hands, her eyes filled with a mix of hope and fear.I remember the long nights she spent with books scattered across the table, working on essays and projects with unwavering determination.And now, here I stand in the grand hall of New York University, dressed in a crisp black suit, watching her name appear on the big screen as the valedictorian.Freya Verity, Bachelor of Communication—Top Graduate of the Year.I look up at the stage where she stands, clad in a black graduation gown and a gold sash signifying her achievements.

He tries to sit
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair CHAPTER 55: THREE YEARS LATER
Alaric's POVI never imagined my life would turn out like this.I used to think I would always be the kind of man who only knew how to survive—content with cooking in a small restaurant kitchen, satisfied with a modest paycheck, and avoiding anything remotely connected to the Verity name. Furthermore, I thought I would remain the man who rejected his past, carving out his own path without ever looking back.But three years later, my life had thoroughly changed.Now, I stood in the penthouse suite of Verity Hotel, wearing a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, my tie discarded hours ago. The city lights of New York shimmered beyond the massive windows, casting a golden glow into the room.On the sofa, a small two-year-old boy slept soundly, his tiny arms wrapped around a stuffed bear. His breathing was soft, his face peaceful, as if the world around him wasn’t full of chaos.Hero Verity. My son.I still remembered when Freya chose that name. “Because he's our hero, Alaric. H
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 54: Anything For Freya
Freya's POVI had never felt happiness quite as terrifying as this before.There was still a part of me trying to process all the changes happening so fast—going back to college, finding a new rhythm in life, and now carrying another life inside me.But if there was one thing I knew for sure, it was that I wasn’t doing any of it alone.I watched Alaric from across the room as he stood in the kitchen, his back straight as he cooked over the stove. The scent of eggs and toast filled the air, wrapping the space in a warmth that was oddly comforting.Leaning against the doorway, I crossed my arms and observed him.Who would’ve thought that the same man who once lived in darkness could look so at home in a kitchen like this?“I still can’t believe you’re actually making me breakfast,” I finally said, breaking the morning silence.Alaric glanced over his shoulder, a smirk tugging at his lips. “I’m not letting you skip breakfast again. Especially now, since you’re eating for two.”I pouted.
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 53: More Than Just Love
Freya's POVI’ve realized something over the past few days.Love alone isn’t enough.Love is the foundation, but what keeps it standing is commitment—the courage to choose each other every single day, through the good and the bad.And now, I’m at a point where I need to make sure that Alaric and I aren’t just in love, but that we’re also moving in the same direction.I sat on the couch, holding the ultrasound results we’d just gotten yesterday. Our baby. Still so tiny, but its presence was real. Its existence changed everything—not just for me, but for Alaric too.I heard the sound of the door opening, followed by familiar footsteps. Alaric had just returned from a meeting with his father. He’d mentioned it was about the inheritance he was set to receive.As soon as he saw me, he walked over, kissed the top of my head, and then dropped onto the couch beside me.“How are you feeling?” he asked, his voice soft.I turned to him, offering a small smile. “A little nauseous this morning, bu
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 52: The Home We Create
Freya’s POVI sat at the edge of the bed, one hand resting on my stomach. My fingers traced over the still-flat surface of my skin, as if trying to grasp the reality of what I had just learned.I was pregnant with Alaric’s child.I repeated it in my head, trying to let the words sink in. This was real. It wasn’t just a possibility or a joke from a faulty test.The doctor had confirmed it—I was carrying Alaric’s baby. And somehow, ever since that moment, the world felt like it was moving in slow motion.I lifted my head, my gaze falling on Alaric, who stood by the bedroom door, arms crossed over his chest. He was watching me with an unreadable expression—a mixture of awe, relief, and something deeper that I couldn’t quite define.“Are you still in shock?” His voice was low, almost gentle.I let out a breath and nodded slowly. “Of course. I just found out a few hours ago that there’s a tiny human growing inside me.”A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he stepped closer and
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 51: The Best News
Alaric's POVI’ve faced a lot in my life.Life in prison, betrayal, losing people I considered family. Even surviving the criminal underworld that nearly swallowed me whole.I’ve been on the brink of destruction, standing between life and death more times than I can count.But none of that could have prepared me for what I just heard.“Congratulations, Mr. Verity. Your partner is pregnant. She’s about eight weeks along.”I froze in place like an idiot.The doctor’s voice echoed in the room, but my brain seemed to stop functioning. I stared at the blood test results in my hand. The numbers should have made sense, but right now, they just felt like a jumble of meaningless symbols.I had to lean on the desk because, for the first time in my life, my knees almost gave out.Freya… pregnant?I took a deep breath, trying to regain my focus. “Are you sure?” My voice came out hoarser than I expected.The doctor smiled, unfazed by my reaction. “We ran the test twice to confirm. All signs point
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 50: The Surprise
Freya's POVI’ve always loved the atmosphere of classes at NYU. The lecture halls are spacious, modern, and filled with students who are just as passionate as I am.Professor Callahan, who teaches Media, Culture, and Society, is the kind of academic who’s both brilliant and insightful. His voice is confident as he explains how media shapes social perceptions. Popular culture isn’t just entertainment—it’s a social phenomenon with a profound impact on everyday life.I listened intently, jotting down key points in my notebook. But today felt different.Since this morning, my body had been feeling a little off.I woke up with an uncomfortable sensation in my stomach. It wasn’t exactly pain, but more like waves of nausea that came and went.At first, I thought it was just the usual nervousness I feel before heading to class. I’m the type of person who’s always excited, and sporadically that excitement turns into a bit of anxiety.But this time was different.I swallowed hard, trying to ign
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 49: Mine, Always
Freya’s POVI stood on the balcony of our apartment, letting the cool night breeze brush against my skin. Below me, New York pulsed with life—city lights scattered like stars, distant honks and the faint hum of the city still audible despite the late hour.Leaning against the railing, I hugged myself and gazed at the skyline.I should be in bed, but my mind was too restless.Today, I had finalized all my administrative paperwork for college. I had my class schedule, my student ID, and had even spent the last few hours reading through reference materials for my first course.I should be proud of myself. But there was an unsettling feeling in my chest: a quiet anxiety I couldn’t fully understand.The sound of the sliding door opening behind me pulled me from my thoughts, followed by familiar footsteps. I didn’t have to turn around to know it was Alaric.He didn’t say anything, just stood beside me, resting his hands on the railing, his sharp green eyes focused on the city.I glanced at
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 48: More Than Just Love
Freya’s POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror, letting out a slow, deep breath.This morning, I wore a peach blouse, paired with loose white pants that draped comfortably around my legs. On my feet were white flats adorned with delicate floral accents— a gift from Alaric. I completed the look with a cross-body bag filled with books and pens.Today marked the beginning of something new.I had officially enrolled at New York University (NYU), choosing to major in Communication Studies with a Bachelor of Science in Media, Culture.I was rebuilding my life, choosing not just to be someone who had survived her past but someone who was actively shaping her own future.Alaric had never tried to change me. Instead, he always made sure I had the freedom to be myself.I checked my natural-looking makeup, ran my fingers through my shoulder-length hair to fix it, and then stepped out of the bedroom, finding Alaric already waiting for me.He was standing in the kitchen, pouring himself a cup
