The Billionaires Rival Heir CHAPTER SEVEN
Mia shifted uncomfortably in her place, the warmth in Shaw’s office only worsening her light-headedness. Shaw was speaking to his gathered staff about a new project he was launching, his commanding voice steady and confident. Mia had always admired his calm leadership style, but today, her mind was a blur. She’d skipped breakfast, having barely managed to wake up in time to make it to the meeting, and now the consequences were hitting her hard.Luke, Shaw’s second-in-command, was seated next to her, while Mia and the other assistants stood around the office, their notebooks open to jot down key points. But every time she tried to write, her vision blurred. She could feel a trickle of sweat forming on her brow, and her stomach twisted in hunger and nausea.Shaw’s eyes swept across the room, then lingered a little longer when they reached her. He noticed her pale complexion and the way she seemed almost out of balance. His gaze was hard to read, but there was a hint of concern beneath h

Shaw leaned back in his office chair,his fingertips pressed together as he contemplated the news. Mia was pregnant, and he knew it. His doctor had been discrete, following Shaw’s instructions to keep Mia’s condition confidential. As he watched Mia working tirelessly every day, Shaw felt a mixture of intrigue and protectiveness grow within him. Though he was certain Mia hadn’t intended for him to know, the knowledge settled deeply within him, raising questions he wasn’t ready to ask. He didn’t want to intrude, but part of him felt a strange pull—an instinct to look out for her.This internal conflict nagged at him throughout the morning, yet Shaw decided to keep quiet. He’d let Mia share the news when she was ready, all while quietly ensuring she had everything she needed at work. But his train of thought was abruptly interrupted by a sudden knock on his office door.In the apartment, Grace was carefully applying her makeup when an unexpected knock sounded at the front door. She frowne

Liam opened the door to his condo, expecting the usual quiet that greeted him. Instead, he found Maya sitting on the couch, arms folded, her gaze sharp and unyielding. The tension in her posture told him she had been waiting for him—and not happily.“Where are you coming from?” Maya asked, her tone clipped. Her eyes held a hint of hurt and suspicion.Liam closed the door behind him, letting out a deep sigh. He hadn’t told her about his plan yet, and he knew it was bound to cause friction. He took a step closer, hands raised in a gesture of calm.“I went to see Mia,” he admitted.Maya’s eyes narrowed, and he could almost see the anger simmering under the surface. “You went to see your ex? Without telling me?” she demanded, her voice rising. “What were you thinking?”“Hold on,” he interrupted, trying to keep his tone steady. “Let me explain.”“Explain what?” Maya shot back. “How you’re sneaking around to see your ex? You didn’t think I deserved to know?”Liam took a breath. “Look, Maya,

Mia POVThe night had finally arrived. Standing in front of the mirror in my room, I couldn’t help but take a moment to admire the way the dress fit me. The deep blue fabric hugged my figure, cascading down in soft waves. Grace, as always, was right behind me, teasingly inspecting my reflection over her shoulder.“Honestly, Mia, I think this dress was made for you,” she grinned, fluffing my curls and pretending to adjust the hem of my dress.“Oh, please,” I laughed, nudging her out of the way. I smoothed down the fabric, feeling a rush of excitement mixed with nerves. I took one last glance, adjusted the strap of my dress, and headed downstairs where Shaw was waiting, looking impossibly sharp in a perfectly tailored suit.His gaze softened when he saw me. “You look stunning,” he said, his voice warm.I smiled, feeling my cheeks heat under his intense gaze. “Thank you, Mr. Carter,” I replied softly, feeling the power of the moment between us.We made our way to his car, and before I kn

The party had been a dazzling success, filled with laughter, elegant conversations, and the steady hum of smooth jazz filtering through the grand ballroom. As the night wound down, guests slowly walked out, still carrying an air of excitement and joy.Liam approached Mia just as she finished a conversation with a guest. His confident smile caught her attention, and she felt a familiar knot twist in her stomach. He was charming, but the memory of their past kept her guarded. Still, he had a way of breaking down those barriers with ease.“Talk about relief am I right...,” he said softly, tilting his head toward the exit. Mia just gave him a smile“it’s a little sad we didn’t get to talk much here.” Said Liam“Really?..”“Yeah but I have a solution for that, how about we continue the conversation at an eatery?”“Are you asking me out?” She asked with sarcasm on her face.“Yes, I’d like to take you out tomorrow. A real date. Let’s see if we can start afresh.” His tone was smooth, and his

The soft hum of an engine filled the air as Shaw pulled into his driveway, the mansion looming before him like a silent sentinel of his success. The grand estate, adorned with gilded accents and towering pillars, exuded an air of luxury, yet tonight it felt more like a cage than a home. The events of the evening replayed in his mind like a broken record as he stepped through the ornate double doors, unbuttoning his suit jacket.Inside, the opulence was overwhelming—golden chandeliers, marble floors, and furniture fit for royalty. Yet, none of it brought Shaw peace. The weight of the night clung to him like a heavy coat. He tossed his jacket over the back of a chair and made his way to the master suite.In the shower, hot water cascaded down his tense muscles, washing away the evening’s physical exhaustion but not the mental strain. He thought about Mia—her smile, her elegance, and most of all, the way she seemed to light up around that man, Liam. Shaw didn’t like the way it made him f

Shaw leaned back in his chair, the weight of the day heavy on his shoulders. He was deep in conversation with Luke about Liam when the door to his office suddenly swung open.A strikingly beautiful woman in her early twenties strode in like she owned the place, her confidence as bold as her crimson lipstick. She perched on his desk with the casual ease of someone who had done it a thousand times before, her sharp heels barely making a sound on the polished floor.“Hello, baby pea,” she said, her voice smooth and teasing. A sly smile played on her lips.Shaw’s jaw tightened at her familiar greeting, and his expression became unreadable as he leaned back in his chair, observing her. He hadn’t expected her to show up—least of all at his workplace.Luke glanced at Shaw, silently asking if he should intervene, but Shaw raised a hand, signaling for him to wait. “What are you doing here, Kim?” he asked, his voice sharp with authority.Kim tilted her head, looking innocent. “Here to see you,

Shaw stood frozen in the doorway of his living room, his expression hardening as he took in the sight before him. Kim, with her perfect posture and sly smile, sat on his couch like she owned the place. A half-empty glass of wine rested in her manicured hand, the bottle on the coffee table clearly from his private collection.“Welcome home, baby pea,” she said with a playful lilt, her eyes gleaming with mischief.Shaw’s jaw tightened. He wasn’t in the mood for games, especially not hers. “What are you doing here, Kim?”Kim leaned back into the cushions, completely unbothered. “You didn’t really think we were done with our conversation, did you?”Shaw stepped closer, his voice icy. “How did you get into my house?”Kim reached into her designer handbag and pulled out a sleek black card. “I still have your pass card,” she said casually, twirling it between her fingers as if daring him to snatch it away.Shaw closed his eyes briefly, exhaling through his nose to rein in his temper. “What i

Liam swallowed hard as he waited inside the restaurant. The person that had texted him said she would meet him by 10am in the morning like it was a business meeting. He was dressed in a suit, as he actually had to attend a meeting. He felt extremely stupid for coming to the restaurant to meet somebody that only texted him. It didn’t matter. He just wanted revenge and that was all that mattered. He didn’t even let Maya know. She was still fast asleep when he had slipped out of the house. He couldn’t help but order a cup of coffee. He let the hot liquid slide down his throat as he watched people go to their work places. It made him feel let out. He was supposed to be living the life in his mansion. But his tactful grandfather had stopped all that from happening for a while and he loved Maya too much to get another woman pregnant. Adoption was not in the question either. Maya wouldn’t take care of the child, and his grandfather wouldn’t let an adopted child become his heir. He held his

Mia managed to climb into the bed without making much noise. She couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear as she laid right beside Shaw. He groaned a bit, and buried his nose in her head. She moaned, and wrapped her legs around him as he ran his hands up and down her back. There was nothing she wanted more than his company at that point in time. She snuggled more into him so that her stomach was directly resting on him. He was going to find out about the baby anytime soon anyways. She closed her eyes and allowed herself dream.***The sunlight was gleaming into Mia’s eyes. As she managed to open them, she noticed that Shaw was not in the bed. She frowned before heading downstairs. She was shocked when she saw him in the kitchen. He had already prepared breakfast, and the whole house was filled of the aroma. Grace was just taking the last pieces off her plate as she smiled at her. “Good morning, lazy youth,” Grace greeted, and Mia just smiled. Shaw finally turned and looked at him as he

Shaw was vibrating with so much anger; he couldn’t bear to say a single word to Mia. He kept looking in her own direction of the car, without talking. She also felt his eyes on her, but she didn’t want to be the first to talk to him at that point in time. Her feet were tapping in the car. For some reason, she was extremely nervous. She felt like they had been watched the whole time. There was something that was going on. Something that she had no idea about. Something that she was scared was going to harm her. Was it Liam? The police might have gone to serve him with the FIR papers. But he wouldn’t be stupid enough to still want to be close to her, would he? Would he still want to harm her and take the baby? Mia felt that there was another reason entirely that made him want to take the baby from her. She knew that it wasn’t because he wanted to eagerly be the father to the baby. It was definitely far from that. Her hand flew to her stomach and she clutched to it, like it would calm h
The Billionaires Rival Heir CHAPTER FOURTY ONE
Kim’s phone beeped. She had been expecting the message ever since. She had been pacing around the house. And for some reason, Shaw’s face had filled her brain. She wasn’t able to think properly. All she wanted was the news that she was yet to get. And now that she was getting the text that she had been waiting for, she was smiling. Check the news stations, the message had said. She quickly picked her remote and checked out the entertainment station. Just as expected, the pictures of Shaw and Mia had filled the television. They were sitting there in a restaurant, looking at each other affectionately. Kim was slightly annoyed that she wasn’t the one sitting there with Shaw at the table. But it didn’t change the fact that all of Shaw’s life was now out in the open. He could barely go out in public with her if it wasn’t displayed out there. He wouldn’t have had any idea that she was the one that caused it anyway. He would probably think that Mia was doing everything,and it was Mia’s fau
The Billionaires Rival Heir CHAPTER FOURTY
Mia didn’t know what to expect. She was still glowing from everything that went on the night before. The way he held her while she slept. She woke up to the sight of him looking at her affectionately, scared to move so that she won't wake up. She was extremely shocked that he could be that caring. And she was shocked that he was ready before she finished having her bath. Well, that’s just the way men get dressed, isn’t it?This time, he didn’t take her to the posh restaurants that she was trying so hard to get adjusted to. He took her to one of those homely roadside cafes. As soon as they walked in, the sound of the bell went off at the door. The nostalgic feeling consumed Mia as the smell of coffee and cakes filled her nostrils. She looked at Shaw, and he took his hands in hers as he led her to the inner part of the restaurant. The people eating there were obviously coming just after a run. “We have to go to the office really soon,” she said, with her voice shaking. He stopped in h

“N-nothing,” Mia stuttered, looking at Shaw. Her heart was in her mouth. Grace also didn’t know what to say. She managed to clear her throat and speak up.“Just some female issues,” Grace said. As far as she was concerned, that was the only thing she had to say to keep men from asking unnecessary questions.“Oh alright,” Shaw said, and dropped the cups of coffee. Suddenly, he froze. “Did you both come across Ahmed on your way here?”Grace was about to speak, but Mia gave her the signal to stop speaking. She didn’t want to tell Shaw about anything that concerned Ahmed yet. They had seen him and he smirked, asking her what she was doing at her boss’ house so late at night. She didn’t have anything to say to him, and he told her that she could come and meet him at his office. And that he had all the information that she needed. He knew that she was looking for every information that concerned Shaw and the bridge that her parents died in. She was shocked that he knew everything that sh

Shaw was putting on tracksuit bottoms. He didn’t have a shirt on. Hell, he just finished having his bath and his hair was wet and sleek. He was shocked when he heard the doorbell go off. He quickly went to check who it was. He silently hoped that it wasn’t anybody that was going to ruin his mood. He was slightly annoyed when he figured out that he was slightly late to call the security men to ask who was at the door. He was already almost there. He swung the door open, ready to see anything. He was shocked when he saw a smirking Ahmed in front of him. In his hand, he held a glass of whiskey. Shaw wanted to punch him there on the spot until his nose bled. Instead, he managed a small smile. “What are you doing here, Ahmed?” he asked, closing the door slightly to show Ahmed that he wasn’t even invited.“Nothing,” Ahmed, said shrugging. “Quite a show you put up at the last meeting we attended. I just wanted to compliment you for it.”Shaw cocked an eyebrow. “Come on, tell me where the m

Liam was minutes away from smashing the television. There was no single channel that Maya liked watching, that Mia and Shaw’s face wasn’t there. He hated the way the media was paying attention to everything that they did on that night. “It’s not like they did anything that special,” he said to himself in frustration. If only he knew what was coming next on the news.“They actually look cute together,” Maya said, chewing her popcorn. It was like she was even looking for any channel that talked about them, and then, she stayed there until the gossip was over. It wasn’t like she was trying to rub salt in Liam’s wounds, she simply adored the dress that Mia wore both times that evening. She couldn’t lie that she also envied Mia’s shape. She planned to order for it once Liam paid her the money that he promised to give her.“Did you hear how much Shaw Carter paid for Mia during the auction?” she asked, looking at Liam with wide eyes. Liam rolled his own eyes in response.“Five million dolla

“The baby is doing just fine,” the doctor assured Mia, smiling that she was worrying unnecessarily. She couldn’t take any risks. It felt like the baby was the only thing that she lived for. A text appeared on her phone. She checked and saw that it was Liam. She was about to ignore when she saw what was actually written on it. “Just a little warning that you should reconsider the marriage. Or else, this might be the last time that you will be heading to the hospital to check up on your baby.”She looked around immediately, worried that he was somewhere around, looking at her. The doctor frowned, sensing her worry.“You shouldn’t worry much,” she said. “Both you and the baby don’t need any stress at this point.” Mia tried to calm down immediately. She nodded, standing out and taking her prescriptions for the medication that she needed. Her eyes were still on her phone as she headed out of the hospital. She was completely distracted until she bumped into a hard body. “I’m sorry,” she
