The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 52: Anger Venting
Caspian glanced at the window once more, his eyes scanning the space behind the glass. He held his breath, making sure Alaric’s shadow was truly gone. Only when he was certainly did he turn his attention back to Cassandra, who lay beneath him, her face flushed and her breath coming in short, uneven gasps.With a deliberate slowness, Caspian tugged at the crop top of Cassandra’s cheerleader uniform. The fabric slid upward, revealing the smooth, reddened skin beneath. He knew Cassandra looked stunning in the uniform, but that wasn’t the main reason he hesitated to undress her completely. He couldn’t bring himself to expose her fully—not when Alaric might still be lurking nearby. Cassandra’s body was his alone, and no one else deserved to witness its beauty.Now, confident that no prying eyes remained, Caspian let go of his restraint. His hands moved quickly, stripping away Cassandra’s skirt and the black bra that cupped her full breasts. The fabric fell away, and the sight of her bare

Selene sat on the cold apartment floor, her entire body trembling violently. Her breaths came in short, ragged gasps, her chest rising and falling in an uneven rhythm. Tears streamed down her face, but it wasn’t just from the pain.This wasn’t just about the physical wounds—it was the humiliation, the utter destruction of her pride.With great effort, she took a deep breath, trying to push past the searing pain that gripped her body. Her hands trembled as they ghosted over her skin—each bruise, each mark a cruel reminder of Alaric’s brutality. She clutched at the torn fabric of her dress, which barely covered her, and with unsteady steps, she forced herself toward the bedroom.Standing in front of the mirror, she stared at her reflection. Swollen eyes, a split lip, her skin still red from Alaric’s slap. Tears dripped down her cheeks, but beneath the anguish, something darker took root—rage.Did Alaric really think he could walk away just like that?That he could hurt her, humiliate he

Caspian was smiling wider than he ever had in his entire life. It wasn’t just a polite or practiced smile—it was something genuine, something that came straight from his heart. Today was the day he had been waiting for. The day he would finally marry Cassandra.The grand ballroom was bathed in the warm glow of crystal chandeliers, their golden light reflecting off the polished marble floors. The scent of roses and lilies mixed with the crisp aroma of champagne being poured into delicate crystal glasses. Guests moved about, dressed in their finest attire, murmuring to one another with excitement—some in celebration, others in hushed whispers of intrigue.Many still found it hard to believe just how happy Caspian looked tonight. For years, he had been known as a man of cold precision, unreadable and untouchable. But tonight? He looked like someone who had just won everything.In one corner of the room, Damian stood casually, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other held a glass o

Caspian leaned back in his chair, his head pounding from the storm of emotions still raging inside him. His sharp eyes stared blankly ahead, but his mind was flooded with the chaos from earlier.As a father, he should be rushing to the police station to secure his son’s release. But at the same time, the fury burning within him refused to fade.Why today?On what should have been the happiest day of his life, Alaric had turned it into a disaster.And yet, beneath all the anger, Caspian was still a father. He couldn’t simply ignore this. He needed to uncover the truth.Had Alaric really committed such crimes?Was his son truly that monstrous?If this was nothing more than a baseless accusation, Caspian would use every ounce of his power to free Alaric.He would make sure that anyone who dared to wrongfully imprison his son paid the price.But if Alaric was truly guilty… Caspian wouldn’t intervene. He would let the law take its course. Let Alaric face the full weight of his actions.The

Cassandra was lounging on the sofa when the sound of footsteps echoed at the doorway. She turned her head, slightly surprised to see Caspian back so soon.“You're back already?” she asked, sitting up. “What about Alaric?”Caspian shrugged off his jacket with an effortless motion before settling beside her. “Alaric was proven guilty. I have no intention of helping him walk free. He deserves to face the consequences of his actions.”Cassandra studied him in silence. The sharp confidence in his eyes remained, but there was a subtle weariness beneath it—not regret, though. He was certain of his decision.She moved closer, resting her hand gently over his. “Are you okay? I mean, aren’t you worried this scandal will taint the Verity family name?”Caspian turned to her and gave a small, amused smile.“Why would I put my family's reputation above justice?” His gaze locked onto hers. “Don’t forget—you’re part of the Verity family now, too. And to me, protecting a name isn’t as important as hol

Alaric sat in the metal chair, his cuffed hands resting on the cold surface of the interrogation table. His jaw clenched as he glared at Selene, who sat across from him with her legs elegantly crossed, her eyes gleaming with triumph.“Get me out of here first, and we’ll get married next month.”Selene let out a quiet chuckle, her gaze sharp with calculation. “Next month?” She shook her head slowly, leaning back in her chair. “No, darling. That’s too long.”Her piercing eyes locked onto his.“If you want to walk free now, then we’re getting married presently.”Alaric’s fists clenched. This woman was insane.“Do you think marriage is as simple as flipping a switch?!” He shot her a sharp glare, barely able to process the absurdity of what she was saying.But Selene remained composed. She leaned in slightly, the corners of her lips curling into a sly smile. “We don’t need a grand wedding, Alaric. The only thing that matters is making it legal. It’s far too late to dream about a lavish cer

“Who was at the door?”Cassandra stepped into the living room, her hair still slightly damp, carrying the fresh scent of soap after her shower. Her eyes scanned the room, but all she found was Caspian standing casually near the sofa.“Alaric and Selene,” Caspian replied flatly, his tone void of interest. “But they're gone now.”Cassandra frowned. Why did they suddenly show up? However, before she could ask further, Caspian had already pulled her into his arms.He lowered his head, inhaling the lingering fragrance of soap on Cassandra’s skin. His eyes fluttered shut for a moment, savoring her scent as if she were an addiction, he could never escape.“Why did you finish your shower so quickly?” Caspian murmured, his voice deep and slightly hoarse. “I was planning to join you.”He buried his face in the curve of her neck, his lips brushing against her soft skin, leaving a trail of warmth that sent shivers down Cassandra’s spine. But before the moment could escalate, something suddenly cr

Selene still refused to give up, no matter how many times Alaric had told her to stop.She didn’t care.The burning jealousy inside her had reached its limit. She was sick of watching Cassandra always stay one step ahead.Selene still couldn’t accept the fact that Cassandra now lived in the house she had always dreamed of.The house that should have been hers.Today, she returned to Caspian’s house. This time, she made sure to come when Caspian wasn’t home.“Stop in front of that house,” she instructed the taxi driver.The car slowed and finally stopped before a grand mansion, its elegant design and meticulously kept garden exuding an air of superiority.Selene stepped out gracefully, tossing the fare to the driver without bothering to wait for change. As the taxi drove away, she lifted her chin, her gaze locking onto the security guard stationed at the front gate.She narrowed her eyes.That guard wasn’t here the last time she visited.So Caspian had anticipated that she would come b

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. The spotlight casts a soft glow on her face, and for a brief moment, time seems to stop.She did it.She made it.And I have never felt prouder in my entire life.Beside me, Hero sits in his small chair, wearing the miniature suit Freya picked out for him, complete with a slightly crooked bow tie. 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
