The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 69: The Truth That Cannot Be Accepted
The remote in Selene’s hand trembled violently, her fingers gripping it so tightly she nearly crushed it.Her eyes were locked onto the television screen, rereading the breaking news headline plastered across it.“THIS CAN’T BE TRUE.”“THIS IS ALL LIES.”On the screen, the news anchor spoke in a calm, measured tone. But to Selene, every word felt like a hammer striking her skull, merciless and relentless.“According to an anonymous source, Alaric is not the biological son of businessman Caspian Verity but rather the result of an affair between his late wife and her former lover. Additionally, based on undisclosed legal evidence, Alaric is suspected of attempting to murder Caspian after being stripped of his position as CEO.”Selene shook her head violently.“No… No, that’s impossible…” she whispered, her voice trembling.Alaric… wasn’t Caspian’s son?She swallowed hard, her entire body shaking.“A recording of the shooting does exist, but Caspian Verity has requested that it not be re

Cassandra walked into the kitchen, the delicious aroma from the pan making her empty stomach churn in anticipation.In front of her, Retta skillfully flipped an omelet, her movements confident and precise.Cassandra folded her arms across her chest, watching in admiration.She felt a little embarrassed. This short-haired woman was younger than her, yet far more skilled in the kitchen.“I don’t even know how to flip an egg without ruining it,” Cassandra murmured, half-joking.Retta glanced over her shoulder, a small smirk on her lips. “Then you can learn from me.”Cassandra chuckled softly, the tension from the previous night slowly melting away.But then, Retta took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry about what happened last night. You saw everything, didn’t you?”She offered an awkward smile, her eyes silently pleading for Cassandra not to press the issue.Cassandra hesitated.Yes, she had seen everything. Retta being mistreated by Damian’s first wife, enduring it all without resista

Alaric let out a quiet scoff, slouching in his chair with an expression of pure irritation.After dealing with Selene and her endless drama, now Damian had come.It was obvious why he was here—to blame him, to repeat the same tired speech about how wrong he was and how right Caspian had always been.“What do you want, Uncle Damian?” he asked, his voice cold, laced with unfiltered annoyance. He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “Did you come here just to tell me how much of a failure I am too?”Damian didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he pulled a laptop and an old photo album from his bag.Alaric frowned, eyeing the items with suspicion.“I’m not here to blame you,” Damian finally said, his tone calm yet firm. “Because you were already wrong from the very beginning.”Alaric clicked his tongue. Of course. Everyone seemed to enjoy ripping him apart.“But I’m not here to give you a long lecture either,” Damian continued. “I just want to show you something.”Without waiting f

Caspian had just stepped out of the conference room, his shoulders tense after hours of exhausting discussions.But his steps halted when he saw Damian standing casually near his office door, hands in his pockets, expression unreadable.“Just finished your meeting?” Damian asked casually. His tone sounded like small talk, but something in his eyes told Caspian this wasn’t just idle chatter.Caspian loosened his tie, which suddenly felt too tight around his neck. “Yeah. What is it? Did the police raid your hotel?”Damian scoffed, narrowing his eyes at him as if Caspian had just said something profoundly stupid. “You think my hotel is running illegal business?”Caspian shrugged, a slight smirk tugging at his lips. “Not really. But seeing you this serious makes me think of worst-case scenarios.”Damian let out a deep sigh, as if holding himself back from throwing something at Caspian’s head.“Just answer my question,” he said, this time with more weight in his voice. “Do you have time?”

Cassandra looked up as the door creaked open. Heavy footsteps echoed in the hallway, followed by a long, weary sigh.The moment Caspian stepped into the doorway, her heart clenched.Something about him felt different. His eyes were slightly red, his face drawn with exhaustion, as if he had just endured an emotional battle before finally coming home.Cassandra quickly rose to her feet, her steps light but filled with concern.“What’s wrong?” she asked gently but firmly.Caspian didn’t answer. Instead, he pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly—like she was the only thing keeping him grounded.Cassandra froze for a second before returning the embrace, her hands moving to his back, soothing him with slow, gentle strokes.“Is it work?” she asked again, trying to understand.Caspian shook his head, his face still buried in her shoulder.“It’s not about work,” he murmured, his deep voice rough and strained.Cassandra waited, not pushing him to speak.“I dropped the charges against Ala

Cassandra Winter thought this day would be the beginning of new happiness. In one month, she would be engaged to Alaric, the man of her dreams. But all those hopes were shattered instantly. Who could have imagined that her future fiancé was having an affair — and not with just any woman, but with her best friend, Selene?The heartache tore through her soul like a sharp knife stabbing inward. Cassandra stood in the doorway of the apartment, her eyes wide open at the sight of Alaric and Selene locked in a passionate embrace. They felt no guilt whatsoever, as if the world was theirs alone. Not a word escaped Alaric's lips as she walked away — no attempt to follow her, as if her departure was meaningless.“Give me another glass,” Cassandra said, her voice drowned out by the crowded bar. She ignored the concerned look of the bartender, who saw her chugging tequila like a drunk.Today, her red dress, which clung to her body perfectly, seemed worthless, like a hope that had now been dashed

Cassandra's fingers clawed at Caspian's bare back every time the man above her moved with passionate intensity. She could feel Caspian's tanned skin sweat under her touch, and she was sure that her hoof scratches would leave a mark.Pain radiated through her private parts as he entered without foreplay, leaving her breathless. As a quarter of her consciousness returned, Cassandra found herself caught up in feelings of regret for the nonsense she had spoken. However, her decision to proceed was deeply rooted in her soul. There was no going back-they were both striving for the fulfillment they craved.“Look at me, Cass,” Caspian whispered softly into Cassandra's ear as his hand wiped away the sweat that was running down her forehead.Cassandra, who had closed her eyes earlier due to the pain, finally opened them. She found concern in Caspian's dark eyes.“We can stop the game right here if your body can't handle my presence,” Caspian said, his tone fading as if he were eager to stop eve

Breakfast with Selene was still fresh in his mind — her smile, the laughter echoing among the aroma of coffee and warm toast. Alaric expected today to be like the days before, peaceful and uninterrupted. But as he stepped out of the car, an unexpected sight changed everything.At the end of the parking lot, Alaric saw a familiar figure. His father had just arrived, and beside him walked a familiar woman, but whose presence darkened the skies of Alaric's heart. His eyebrows shot up, confusion and fear creeping in. He clutched his briefcase tightly, as if it were the only thing keeping him from exploding.“She must have been complaining about my affair with Selene,” he thought, frowning as he walked quickly toward the CEO's elevator, which seemed to be getting farther and farther away. “How could Daddy be with Cassandra?” The two figures turned their heads, but instead of answering, Caspian checked his watch.“It's after hours, why are you still in the parking lot? Shouldn't you be at y

“You seriously set Alaric up with Selene?”Cassandra’s voice was quiet, barely above a whisper. There was a clear tension in her tone, but her eyes remained locked on the man in front of her.Caspian exhaled heavily. His fingers moved to grasp Cassandra’s hand, holding it tightly.“I don’t want any misunderstandings between us. Please don’t leave me in the dark. Explain everything.” Cassandra’s voice was steady but firm.Instead of answering immediately, Caspian led her toward the living room sofa. A conversation this important shouldn’t be held standing by the front door.They sat side by side, his hand still gripping hers as if afraid to let go. His eyes dropped to their entwined fingers, searching for the courage to speak.“I’ve loved you for a long time,” he finally admitted, his voice soft but clear. “Even when you were still with Alaric.”Cassandra remained silent, but she didn’t look surprised.Caspian continued, his voice unsteady. “Because of my selfish desire to have you, I
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 67: Confession
Cassandra let out a long sigh as she saw her enemy’s name flash on her phone screen. It wasn’t the call she had been waiting for.A brief dilemma gripped her. On one hand, she wanted to ignore it and stay focused on her original plan—heading straight to Caspian’s office. But on the other, her mind was clouded with questions.Selene wouldn’t be calling unless it was important. And the news reports about Alaric still felt too vague. No official statements, no confirmation of whom he had actually harmed—only that Caspian himself had pressed charges.Cassandra bit her lip, then gave in. She swiped the green button and brought the phone to her ear.“What is it? What do you want from me?” she asked, skipping any pleasantries.Silence.Then, the sound of quiet sobs.Cassandra stiffened. She had never heard Selene cry like this before.“Can’t you convince your husband to drop the charges against Alaric?” Selene’s voice cracked, raw with desperation. “He can’t go to prison. What will happen to
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 66: Fact
Alaric stared at the weapon in his hands, his expression cold, heavy, and commanding. Then, he lifted his gaze to Caspian. His father sat upright, chest open, lips curved in a faint smile laced with challenge. His finger pointed to his own chest, over the left side.“Pull the trigger,” Caspian said, his voice calm.A challenge. A veiled command.Damian moved swiftly, tension etched into his face. He reached out toward Alaric as if hoping to stop the impending destruction.“Give me the gun, Alaric.” His voice was firm but carried a trace of fear.But Alaric didn’t budge. His fingers tightened around the gun’s grip as if it had become an extension of himself. One second. Two seconds.Then, he raised the weapon—not to hand it over to Damian, but to aim it directly at Caspian’s chest.Damian let out a frustrated growl. “Damn it, Alaric! Are you even listening to me? Give me the gun!”No response. No movement, except for Alaric’s slow, deliberate breath. His gaze was dark, unwavering, leav
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Affair Chapter 65: Old Wounds Reopened
A light drizzle coated the streets, soaking the asphalt as cars rushed by, their headlights reflecting against the wet pavement in a dance of flickering light.Beneath the glow of an electronic billboard broadcasting her latest scandal, Selene stood motionless, her body weak, her eyes swollen from the storm she had endured.Her phone screen remained open in her trembling hands, displaying the medical diagnosis that had shattered her world.Her entire body shook, not just from the cold rain, but from the relentless downfall of her life.Alaric had already destroyed her dignity. Now, her own body was betraying her, as if it wanted to surrender before she could even fight back.Selene slowly lifted her gaze, staring up at the massive billboard replaying footage of her disgrace.Her throat tightened as memories of that night in the Maldives flooded back. The night she was too drunk to think, the night she still believed she had control over Alaric’s life.And now, that night had returned
