The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 62: Unfinished Business
Sienna sat at the small desk in the villa’s bedroom, staring at the blank page in front of her. A cup of untouched tea sat beside her, now cold. Her mind should have been focused on work—on rebuilding the career she had sacrificed so much for—but all she could think about was the conversation with Damian last night. *"Do you love me, Damian?"* *"I never stopped."* The words played in her head over and over, unraveling the fragile control she had fought to maintain. A knock on the door startled her. “Come in,” she called, forcing herself to sound composed. The door opened, and Mia stepped in, her expression unreadable. “Damian wants to see you in the study.” Sienna frowned. “Did he say why?” Mia hesitated. “He got a lead. On who’s behind the attack.” Sienna’s pulse quickened. She pushed back her chair and followed Mia through the dimly lit hallway. The villa had been secured since they arrived, but Sienna couldn’t shake the paranoia that lurked in the back of her mind

Chapter 63 The Calm Before the StormSienna barely slept that night. Every time she closed her eyes, the same nightmare played out—Julian being ripped from her arms, her screams swallowed by darkness, and Damian lying motionless on the cold ground. She jolted awake, her breathing ragged. The villa was silent except for the distant crashing of waves against the cliffs. Morning was approaching. She pushed the covers off and padded to the window. The sky was still dark, but the first traces of dawn touched the horizon. Damian and Mia would be leaving soon. Sienna’s fists tightened. She hated this feeling—waiting, powerless, while the people she loved faced danger. A soft knock at the door made her turn. Damian stood there, dressed in tactical black, his expression unreadable. “You’re awake.” She nodded. “Couldn’t sleep.” “Neither could I.” They stood in silence for a moment. Then he stepped inside, closing the door behind him. “I need you to promise me something,” he

The night air was crisp as Damian and his team moved like shadows toward the north entrance of Morelli’s compound. The moon hung low, casting long, ominous silhouettes against the stone walls. Mia kept pace beside him, her weapon drawn, eyes sharp. “Thirty seconds until rotation.” Damian’s heartbeat was steady, his focus razor-sharp. The past few days had led to this moment. Morelli had pushed too far—threatening Julian, hurting Sienna. Now, it was time to end it. A distant murmur of voices signaled the guards changing shifts. Damian raised a hand. “Go.” His team moved. Silent. Efficient. They slipped through the small gap in security, pressing against the cool stone as they advanced through the courtyard. No alarms. No signs of detection. Yet. Mia tapped her earpiece. “We’re in.” From their position, they had a clear view of the main house—Morelli’s stronghold. Massive windows overlooked the estate, their glass shimmering under the pale light. “Security’s heavier in

Sienna stood frozen, the dial tone ringing in her ears. Morelli’s words slithered into her mind, cold and unforgiving. *"By the time this night is over, Damian Cavendish won’t be coming home."* No. Her grip tightened on the phone until her knuckles turned white. She had been waiting, trusting Damian to handle things, but now? Now she knew waiting wasn’t an option. She had to act. Her gaze darted to Julian’s room. He was safe, for now, but if Morelli had reached out to her, it meant he was confident—too confident. And that meant something was about to go terribly wrong. She strode to the bedside table, yanking open the drawer. Damian had left her a gun, just in case. She had never needed it before, but tonight was different. Tonight, she would fight. She tucked the weapon into the waistband of her jeans and grabbed the car keys. Mia had briefed her about Morelli’s estate in Italy before she left. Sienna had pretended not to listen, but she had memorized the details.

Damian sat at his desk, the glow of his computer screen casting sharp shadows across his face. His jaw was tight, his fingers curled into a fist against the polished wood. The information in front of him was worse than he had expected. Luca Romano wasn’t just a threat—he was preparing to strike. A knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. He knew who it was before she even stepped inside. Sienna. She closed the door softly behind her, her gaze locked onto him. “Tell me the truth,” she said, crossing the room. “I know you’re keeping something from me.” Damian exhaled sharply, leaning back in his chair. “Sienna, it’s complicated.” “No,” she shot back. “It’s simple. Either we’re in this together, or you keep shutting me out and let me walk away.” That hit him harder than he expected. His expression darkened. “You’re not walking away.” “Then tell me what’s going on.” He studied her, the fire in her eyes. She deserved the truth. “Luca Romano wants revenge,” Damian

Damian stepped out of Luca Romano’s club, his fists clenched so tightly his nails bit into his palms. The London night was cool, but the fire in his chest burned hotter than ever. He had given Luca a chance—a warning. Now, it was war. Mia was waiting by the car, leaning against the sleek black Aston Martin, her arms crossed. She looked at his face and sighed. “I take it he didn’t accept your generous offer of staying alive?” Damian opened the car door but didn’t get in. His mind was already calculating, strategizing. “He wants me to pay him back the money he lost.” Mia scoffed. “Of course he does.” “He also implied Julian could become collateral damage.” Her expression hardened instantly. “Then he’s a dead man.” Damian nodded once. “We hit him before he hits us.” Mia slid into the driver’s seat. “Where do we start?” Damian got in beside her, his voice like steel. “With a message.” ---### **Sienna’s Safe House – Paris** Sienna paced the length of the penthouse sui

Sienna’s hands trembled as she gripped her phone, her mind racing through every possible scenario. Luca Romano had just made his move. He knew where she was. He knew about Julian. And if she didn’t act fast, she could lose everything. She forced herself to breathe, to think clearly. Panic wouldn’t help her now. She grabbed the spare phone Damian had given her and dialed. Oliver answered on the second ring. “Sienna?” “There’s been a call.” Her voice was tight. “From one of Luca’s men. He threatened Julian.” A beat of silence. Then Oliver’s voice turned sharp. “What did he say?” “He said I needed to cooperate. That they’d be in touch.” Oliver cursed under his breath. “They’re testing you. Trying to see if you’ll break.” Sienna swallowed the lump in her throat. “Then they don’t know me very well.” She turned to the bedroom, her gaze softening as she watched Julian sleeping peacefully. He had no idea of the war that was closing in around them. And she would never let i

Sienna’s pulse roared in her ears as she stared at the screen. Julian was asleep, unaware of the danger standing right beside him. The man in black held his gun low, almost casual, as if taking her son’s life was just another job. Damian didn’t move, but she could feel the fury radiating from him, a storm barely restrained. His grip on his gun was so tight his knuckles turned white. Luca smiled, pleased with himself. “Now, let’s talk.” Sienna forced herself to breathe. Panicking wouldn’t help Julian. She needed to think, to be smart. Damian’s voice was deathly calm. “Let him go.” Luca clicked his tongue. “That’s not how this works. You took something from me, Cavendish. It’s only fair I take something from you.” Sienna’s stomach twisted. “What do you want?” Luca turned his gaze on her, his smirk deepening. “Ah, the mother. I heard so much about you.” His dark eyes traveled over her in a way that made her skin crawl. “Beautiful. Strong. And now… desperate.” Damian took

The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 86: Betrayal in the Shadows
The quiet buzz of the city below barely reached the high penthouse windows, where Sienna stood, her hand pressed against the cool glass. The skyline of Milan stretched out before her, bathed in the soft light of the setting sun. For a moment, she let herself breathe, savoring the peace. It had been days since the chaos of the Morelli compound had settled, but the weight of what they had uncovered still clung to her like a shadow.Damian had been gone longer than she had expected. She had grown used to the rhythm of his presence, his calm, authoritative energy filling the spaces around her. Now, with his absence, every tick of the clock seemed louder. Every thought seemed heavier.The door behind her creaked open, and she turned, already knowing who it was before the familiar scent of his cologne reached her.“You’re still awake,” Damian’s voice was low, a note of surprise in it.Sienna nodded, unable to meet his gaze. “Couldn’t sleep.”He stepped closer, his hands reaching for her wai
The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 85: The Unraveling
The storm outside was relentless, its winds howling against the windows of the mansion, the rain beating down as if trying to wash the world clean. Inside, the tension was palpable, as if the very air itself was charged with the weight of secrets waiting to be revealed.Damian stood in the middle of the room, his fists clenched at his sides. His face, once calm and composed, was now a mask of barely contained fury. He could feel the storm raging not just outside but within himself. It was as though the years of calm were over, and he had no choice but to face the demons that had long been kept at bay.The room around him was silent, save for the distant rumble of thunder. It had been a long time since he had allowed himself to feel this vulnerable, and yet the realization hit him hard. He had no control over what was coming next. The events set into motion were too far-reaching, too dangerous. He was trapped in a web of lies and deceit, and there was no easy way out.Sienna entered th
The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 84: Unmasking Shadows
The wind howled against the walls of the Cavendish estate as if the mansion itself were bracing for what was to come. Inside the grand dining hall, Damian stood motionless, the last of Ava’s veiled threats echoing in his mind like a warning shot. The pieces were coming together too quickly now—too neatly. And that only meant one thing: a bigger storm was brewing.Sienna sat quietly across from him, her fingers laced tightly on her lap. Julian was upstairs, safe and asleep, guarded by two security men Damian trusted with his life. But even that didn’t ease the weight in his chest.“She’s not finished,” Sienna said softly. “Ava doesn’t walk away from anything without making it burn first.”Damian nodded, his jaw tight. “No, she doesn’t. And the fact that she showed up with that smile on her face tells me she thinks she has something on us.”“She always does,” Sienna said bitterly. “Secrets. Leverage. Twisting things until even the truth feels like a weapon.”He walked to the window and
The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 83: Truth in the Shadows
Damian stood on the balcony of the villa, the night air heavy with salt and tension. Below, the sea churned against the rocks like a living thing, mirroring the chaos swirling inside him. His phone vibrated in his hand, but he didn’t answer. Not yet.Inside the villa, Sienna paced, her bare feet brushing across the cool tiles. She’d tried reading, tried watching something mindless on TV, even tried meditating—anything to stop her mind from going back to the conversation she’d overheard.Vincent Morelli. The name still made her stomach twist.Julian was asleep upstairs, unaware of the war brewing around him. Sienna had kissed his forehead three times before leaving his room, silently praying that whatever darkness Damian was trying to shield them from would never touch their son again.She turned sharply when the glass door slid open. Damian stepped inside, his eyes distant.“You’re still up,” he said quietly.“You didn’t come to bed.”He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he walked
The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 82: The Truth Beneath the Surface
The tension in the Cavendish estate was suffocating.It had been three days since the confrontation with Ava, and though her physical presence was gone, her shadow lingered in every corner like a ghost refusing to leave. Sienna wandered through the halls restlessly, clutching the hem of her cardigan as she walked.Damian was buried in meetings with legal teams, private investigators, and security consultants. There were whispers of charges being filed against Ava, of a restraining order in progress, and even talks of re-opening old investigations tied to Morelli and Ava’s underground dealings.But for Sienna, none of it felt finished.Julian hadn’t smiled properly since that night. He stuck close to her side, unusually quiet, occasionally waking up from nightmares. It broke her heart every time he whispered, “Is she gone for real, Mommy?”“Yes, baby,” she always answered, kissing his temple. “She can’t hurt us anymore.”But even as she said it, her stomach twisted with uncertainty. Co
The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 81: The Reckoning
Damian stood at the edge of the helipad, the night air thick with tension. The chopper blades whirred above, kicking dust into the air, but his mind was elsewhere—on Julian, on Sienna, on the looming storm Ava had carefully crafted over the past few weeks. He clenched his jaw, jaw tight as he adjusted the earpiece feeding him updates from Leo. Every step he took now had to count. There was no more room for mistakes.The game had changed.Ava was no longer just a nuisance. She was a threat—a dangerous force fueled by obsession and a desperate desire to reclaim what she believed was hers.Behind him, Mia approached with brisk steps, her long coat flaring behind her. “The team’s ready. We intercepted another encrypted message. It confirms Ava’s plan to move tonight.”Damian’s eyes narrowed. “Where?”“A private airstrip just outside Florence. She’s trying to escape with everything she’s gathered—evidence, names, money trails, everything that could destroy not just you, but others connecte
The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 80: The Calm Before the Storm
The night stretched on, heavy and thick with anticipation, as Damian stared out of the window of the safe house, his eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of movement. The weight of the decision he had just made pressed down on him like an unyielding burden. They couldn’t hide forever. Morelli’s men would find them sooner or later, and when they did, it wouldn’t just be a fight for survival—it would be a battle to keep everything they had left from being torn apart.He turned away from the window, his thoughts swirling like the storm clouds gathering in the distance. The air inside the house felt stale, too still. It was the kind of silence that suffocated, that made every small sound feel like an echo of something far more sinister.Sienna was sitting in the living room, her back to him as she gazed out the window, her posture weary but determined. He could see the way the weight of their circumstances had settled on her shoulders. She had been through so much, and yet, there she w
The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 79: Turbulent Waters
The black SUV sped through the winding road, its tires screeching as it maneuvered around sharp turns with practiced precision. Damian sat in the back, his mind spinning faster than the wheels outside. He had finally secured Sienna and Julian, but the war was far from over. Morelli would stop at nothing to get them back. That was a certainty."Where to now?" Mia’s voice broke through the fog of his thoughts.Damian didn’t look at her. His eyes were fixed on the rearview mirror, scanning the road behind them for any signs of pursuit. He knew they had to be careful. Morelli’s men were relentless. If they were even remotely aware of their escape, it wouldn’t be long before they started hunting them down."To the safe house," Damian replied coldly. His jaw clenched. "We lay low, regroup, and figure out our next move."Mia, ever the professional, nodded in agreement. She knew the urgency of the situation. "We can’t afford to stay in one place for too long. You’re not the only one who has e
The Billionaire's secret heir Chapter 78: The Final Gamble
The moon hung low in the night sky, casting long shadows across the silent grounds of Morelli’s estate. Damian stood at the edge of the compound, a silent figure in the darkness, his pulse quickening as he surveyed the sprawling estate. The mission ahead was clear—find Sienna and Julian, and ensure their safety. But the path to that goal was anything but straightforward. The weight of his past, the choices he had made, and the secrets that had come to light were all weighing heavily on his shoulders.Damian’s hand clenched into a fist at his side, his thoughts swirling. The lies, the betrayals—none of it had been what he had expected when he’d first started this journey. What had started as a way to protect the woman he loved and their son had now turned into a desperate race against time. Morelli was no longer just a threat to his business, his wealth, or his life. He was a threat to everything Damian held dear.“Damian,” Mia’s voice cut through his thoughts, sharp and urgent. “We ca
