The Billionaires Rival Heir CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
The next morning, Mia stirred from a restless sleep, feeling marginally better but still groggy from the cold that had crept into her bones the previous night. The sunlight streamed through the gaps in her curtains, intensifying the pounding ache in her head. Groaning, she rolled over and pulled the blanket over her head, but it was no use. The events of the previous night replayed vividly in her mind—Liam’s betrayal, Maya’s mocking smirk, and the sheer humiliation she felt as she stormed out of the event.Eventually, she dragged herself out of bed, her body heavy with exhaustion and heartbreak. Sticking to her usual routine, Mia shuffled into the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and stepped into a warm shower. The heat offered some relief, soothing her tense muscles, but it did nothing to wash away the ache in her chest.After throwing on a pair of sweatpants and an oversized hoodie, she made her way to the kitchen, where Grace was already seated, sipping her coffee and scrolling through

Mia woke up early the next morning, the weight of the previous event still heavy on her chest. She could still hear Liam’s words echoing in her mind, the tone of betrayal laced with excuses. But as the sun filtered through the curtains of her bedroom, something inside her clicked. She had spent too long crying over him, feeling as though her entire world had been turned upside down. She couldn’t afford to let Liam’s mistakes define her. It was time to take back control.She swung her legs over the side of the bed, feeling the cold of the hardwood floor beneath her feet. She sat there for a few moments, the weight of the past few days threatening to pull her back into despair. But she stood strong, refusing to give in. The pain of what had happened was real, but it would not consume her.She went through her morning routine, brushing her teeth, washing her face, and stepping into the shower to cleanse herself of the heavy emotions that clung to her. The hot water washed over her, sooth

The boardroom was abuzz with the hum of tense negotiations as Ahmed sat at the head of the long table, his dark eyes scanning the faces of the executives before him. His posture was commanding, and the suit he wore fit perfectly, as always. He was in control. A seasoned businessman, no longer the young man he used to be, but with the same hunger and ambition that had gotten him this far.Today, he was finalizing a merger with one of the most prominent companies in the industry. It was a deal that would secure his dominance for years to come, but as he listened to the presentation in front of him, his mind wandered.His thoughts drifted back to a time long ago, before the suit, before the deals, before he became the man he was now. Back to a time when the world felt smaller, when he was just a young man trying to prove himself.Flashback:Ahmed was barely twenty-one when he first understood the power of money. His family’s wealth had always been a background hum in his life—his father’

Mia woke to the gentle hum of her alarm,the final day before she resumed work, the light of dawn passing through the gaps in her curtains. She stretched languidly, her muscles protesting after a long night of restless sleep. With a sigh, she swung her legs off the bed and padded to the bathroom, her bare feet sinking slightly into the rug.Standing before the mirror, she looked at her reflection. Her eyes looked tired, a faint shadow of exhaustion beneath them. She grabbed her toothbrush, spreading on some minty toothpaste, and began brushing. The rhythmic back-and-forth motion was both calming and mechanical, allowing her mind to drift. The cool, refreshing taste of mint woke her senses, helping her feel more alert.After rinsing her mouth, she stepped into the shower. The water was warm, cascading over her like a gentle waterfall, washing away the fatigue and tension from her body. She lathered her skin with fragrant soap, the scent of lavender filling the air and soothing her nerve

Once again as usual, evening moonlight seeped through the thin curtains of Mia’s small apartment as she unpacked the last of her bag from her visit to Anna. The short time with her sister had been a much-needed reprieve, but it also left her feeling uneasy. Anna’s probing questions about her work, her growing involvement with Shaw, and her parents’ deaths only made Mia’s internal turmoil worse.By the time she closed her suitcase and stuffed it under her bed, she felt no more clarity than she had when she’d left. Sighing, Mia glanced at the clock. It was late, and she would need to wake up early for work. Shaw would surely want updates on the project, and with everything happening lately, she needed to be sharp.The next morning, Mia’s alarm blared, jolting her out of a restless sleep. She rubbed her eyes and pulled herself out of bed, dragging her feet to the bathroom. As the warm shower water ran over her skin, she tried to prepare herself for the day ahead.Her reflection in the mi

The soft glow of Mia’s desk lamp cast long, flickering shadows across her room. It was late, well past midnight, but sleep was a luxury she could no longer afford. The muted hum of her laptop filled the quiet space as she leaned over it, her eyes darting across the screen, her mind sharpening with every discovery. The past few days had been an exhausting whirlwind of revelations, each one more shocking than the last. Yet, despite the weight of it all, an unrelenting energy coursed through her veins. She was close—closer than ever to unraveling the truth.A nearly empty coffee mug sat precariously close to the edge of the desk, a testament to her sleepless nights. Stacks of papers, hastily scribbled notes, and highlighted printouts surrounded her. This was her war zone, and she was determined to win.Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, pausing as she opened yet another file from Ahmed’s seemingly endless cache of emails. Each message was like a puzzle piece, and she was piecing them

Mia took a deep breath as she found a place to park her car right in front of the company. She had been gripping the stirring wheel the whole time. Her knuckles had turned white. She quickly wrung them together and looked at her face through the rear view mirror. If she was going to find out the truth and deal with Shaw just the way she wanted, she had to behave normal. Just that she didn’t know how to do that anymore. She was expecting her baby. She knew that it wouldn’t be long before she started showing. How long was she going to hide? How long was she going to keep the fact that Shaw might actually be the father of the baby?“Grace would have known what to do,” she whispered to herself. She smoothened her hands over her dress before walking right into the office. She had a fake smile plastered on her face as she knocked on the door to Shaw’s office. The office was half open, so she saw how his pupils darkened across the room, his eyes running though her body. She felt her toes cu

“You look stunning,” Grace said. She was on her day off and Mia couldn’t help but be happy about it. she needed her best friend to give her the confidence she needed. She felt weird in such an expensive dress. And she was going to be in the midst of popular people once more. She couldn’t help but feel nervous. “Thank you,” Mia said, as she stood up, admiring how the dress kissed her curves, leaving her flawless back for show, before tightening at the lower end. She had also found the black heels that he had gotten for her. She quickly tied the straps around her ankles as Grace helped her tie her hair in a high pony tail, displaying her baby eyes. Her makeup gave dark feminine vibe and she couldn’t help but love it.“Shaw would be speechless,” Grace said, smiling to herself. “He bought the dress anyway,” Mia said, shrugging. She couldn’t help but wonder how he always knew what her size was. Even her shoe size. He never got it wrong and disappointed her for once.They heard a car honk

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

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

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
