Unintentional Desires (The Billionaire heiress) Chapter 54
Chapter 54Bitter Truth A silence followed, thick and uncomfortable. The clatter of forks and the soft hum of a distant refrigerator were all that could be heard. Tiara glanced between Gemini and her father, desperately trying not to add to the heat already brewing.Saint’s features hardened again, though perhaps not quite so fiercely as before. “You think I don’t care about you? I’m trying to protect you from making decisions you’ll regret!”“By controlling my choices?” Gemini shook her head, her resolve unwavering. “You don’t get to dictate what I should or shouldn’t regret. I need to feel that freedom for myself, even if it means stumbling along the way.”“Gemini, listen—” Tiara ventured.“No, you listen for once, Tiara!” Gemini cut in, her voice steady. “You have your own life to lead. Don’t let them keep you locked in either. This is about me today, and they need to hear me. If he can’t accept that I’m not going to be the daughter he envisioned, then he needs to figure out how

(The Fundraiser One)Mrs Ciara grabbed hold of Tiara's arm tightly, staring at her, her mind contemplating how to go about her revelation.“You better keep this mouth of yours shut Tiara” Mrs Ciara threatened as she let go of her daughter's hand. This wasn't what she wanted, She didn't want to get her daughter to see this side of her.“I will Mother, as long as you are supportive of my decision and get your husband under control, we don't want Gemini finding out about your little secret” Tiara threatened with a mischievous smile plastered on her lips.“Tiara” Her mother called out her name, her tone soft with concern.Tiara stood up from where she sat, making her way to the door as she paused halfway, shooting her mother one last side glance. “I trust you will handle everything Mother” she added unlocking the door and stepping out of the room knowing she had achieved what she wanted, all that was left was to get her hands on those documents her mom had just shown her.The day of the

Chapter 56The fundraiser two.Gemini pulled away quickly, stunned by Simon's audacity. Did he forget that they were getting a divorce soon? The last thing she wanted was to complicate things or give him false hope.“What are they doing in public?” one of the guests murmured, causing Gemini to hide her face in her hands.“All this young love makes us feel old,” another guest chimed in, chuckling lightly.Gemini’s attention shifted to her stepmother, who wore a disapproving glare as she processed whatever had just transpired between Gemini and Simon. As for Gustavo, well, she didn’t give a damn about his opinion. To her surprise, she spotted her uncle Brandon at the fundraiser—a rarity, since he usually avoided such events, no matter how much Grandma begged him to attend. She thought he would be home in San Francisco by now, but clearly, something was keeping him in New York.“That was quite the show you put on, you little rascal,” Uncle Brandon teased, a playful glint in his eye. “

Chapter 57The Donation.Gemini couldn’t believe her eyes. Was this some kind of sick joke? The news of Jerome's disappearance had rocked her just months ago, and now, here he was, standing alive and well in front of her. The fundraiser ceremony took on a life of its own as the MC stepped up to deliver his welcome speech, commanding the attention of the attendees with an enthusiastic grin. “Welcome to the 13th edition of our human rights fundraiser! We are thrilled to see so many familiar faces return to this esteemed organization!” he announced, his voice echoing through the crowd. Gemini’s gaze, however, remained locked on Jerome, who was smiling as if he hadn’t a care in the world.“He must be in a good mood for someone who just came back from the dead,” Simon quipped, throwing a glance at Jerome before redirecting his attention to Gustavo beside him.Gustavo’s heart raced as he processed the sight of Jerome. He fought to maintain his composure, though the revelation of Jerome’s

Chapter 58Old Friends & Foes.Gustavo leaned on the bar counter, twirling his drink in his hand as his eyes lingered on Jerome who had been smiling and making connections since the event ended.Why wasn't he leaving, Gustavo thought as he took a full sip of his drink.“Your friend seems to be enjoying himself,” Simon said as he approached Gustavo, planning to get on his nerves.“What do you mean by my friend Simon?” Gustavo asked in annoyance. Gustavo was very aware that Simon had been doing some digging concerning Sevan's holding.The reason he had invited Celine back to New York was so he could keep Simon and Gemini busy so that he could move on with his plan.Celine was of no use to him anymore, now he has to look for another way to get rid of Simon.“Jerome spine….you know Gustavo I heard interesting news that he was missing” Simon trailed in hoping to get off Gustsvo's skin and make his falter.“Well a missing man won't be here enjoying the night of his life” Gustavo answered ir

Chapter 59Wavering Allies.Ciara made her way towards Lilac with deliberate slowness, fully aware that she wasn’t ready to be ensnared in Gustavo's drama. It was high time she found a way to extricate herself from any alliance with him before his chaos swallowed her whole.Her plan to gradually poison Saint was progressing smoothly; everything was falling into place as long as he didn't interfere. She knew without a doubt that Gemini—the insufferable brat—needed to be dealt with soon.“Ehhmm,” she coughed, drawing Lilac's attention from the crowd of people she was engaged with. Lilac turned to face Ciara slowly, her brows arching slightly in curiosity.“Hello, Miss Sheinkaih. My name is Ciara Saint,” she introduced, forcing a smile as she extended her hand for a shake.Lilac hesitated for a moment, causing a flicker of embarrassment to wash over Ciara as her hand lingered in the air. She quickly glanced at Gemini, who shot her a scathing glare.“It’s nice to meet you,” Lilac finall

Chapter 60JEALOUSY.Gemini made her way toward Gustavo, who had been drinking heavily since the event began. It was obvious that something was bothering him.“Didn’t you drive here?” Gemini’s voice cut through Gustavo’s tension, causing him to focus on her. His green eyes, usually bright and sharp, now appeared dull.“Is that concern I sense in your voice?” he replied, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips as he studied her. When was her due date? Her stomach was so prominent, yet he hated that he still found her incredibly attractive.The dress she had chosen for the evening accentuated her baby bump beautifully; she looked slender and had been keeping in shape. Her golden-blonde hair fell straight and perfectly down her back, and her sea-blue eyes seemed to shimmer more than usual, deepening in color. Her fair skin glowed under the warm lights of the room.Gustavo couldn't shake off the bitterness he felt toward Simon for taking her away from him. This beauty standing before

Chapter 61To Protect You.Simon kept his eyes fixed on the road as he drove Gemini to his villa. He knew he wasn’t going to let her return to her father’s house—not after that confrontation. The nerve of that man.“Simon,” Gemini called out, but he didn’t respond, his jaw clenched in frustration. Was he angry at her? She hadn’t done anything wrong. “Are you angry with me?” she asked again, her voice tinged with confusion.Silence met her, and Simon continued to ignore her. He didn’t want to engage in an argument, not now, not when his temper was already flaring. “Seriously? You won’t even answer me?” she pressed, annoyance furrowing her brows.Finally, Simon arrived at his villa, parking the car in the garage. He stepped out and unlocked the door, gesturing for Gemini to follow. She hesitated for a moment, unsure, but eventually complied.As he walked ahead, she trailed behind, irritation bubbling inside her. Why had he brought her here instead of taking her back to her father’s hou

~SHADOWS AND SECRET ~Gustavo’s grip on Jerome’s collar tightened, his knuckles turning white. “I mean it, Jerome—stay the hell out of my business.”Jerome merely smirked, completely unfazed by Gustavo’s aggression. He was about to make a snide remark when a familiar voice interrupted them. “What the hell is going on here?”Both men turned to see Ciara standing at the entrance of the dimly lit hallway, her arms crossed over her chest. Jerome straightened his jacket and flashed her a sly smile. “Ah, Mrs. Saint, always a pleasure.” He dipped his head mockingly before brushing past Gustavo, leaving without another word. Ciara watched him go before turning her sharp glare to Gustavo. “What are you doing?” she hissed. “Do you have any idea how reckless you’re being? The last thing we need is unnecessary attention.”Gustavo exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. “He’s a snake, Ciara. You shouldn’t trust him.”Ciara rolled her eyes. “And you think I don’t know that?” She ste

~AN ICON~The news of Victoria Greyson’s passing spread like wildfire through New York. It was a somber day for both the Saint and Greyson families. At her grandmother’s estate, Gemini sat motionless in the grand living room, her hands resting on her lap. People flowed in and out of the house, offering their condolences, but to her, their words felt hollow. "What did they really know about my grandmother?" she thought bitterly, her gaze distant. Her eyes followed her Uncle Brandon as he moved through the crowd, forcing himself to smile while shaking hands with guests. He was doing his best to be strong, but Gemini could see through it. His mother was gone. His sister—Gemini’s mother—had been taken from him years ago. And now, he was all alone. “Gemini, sweetheart,” Aunt Vivian spoke softly, placing a warm, concerned hand on Gemini’s back. “Why don’t you go upstairs and rest for a while?”Vivian watched her husband niece carefully. Gemini hadn’t spoken much since the guests s

~A HOUSE WITHOUT A SOUL~ The call came unexpectedly—just like the day my mother’s car crashed. "Gemini," my father had called. My eyes lifted from the strawberry cake I was holding. It was my mom’s favorite. "Your mother," he began, his voice cold as ever. The smile on my lips faded the moment he mentioned her name. "She isn’t coming home, sweetheart. She died in a car crash."He said it as if it were something an eighteen-year-old girl would want to hear. The cake slipped from my hands, crashing onto the floor. Tears streamed down my face. And just like that, my mother was taken from me. Now, here I was again, gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white, trying to stay calm. "Please, please, just hold on until I get there," I whispered, biting my lower lip nervously. I shook my head, trying to push back the tears burning behind my eyes. "Please… Damn it!" I yelled, slamming my horn repeatedly as the car in front of me refused to move fast enough.

~DEAD PEOPLE STAY DEAD~Gemini carefully placed her belongings into the boxes in front of her. She had gotten them from the staff earlier, determined to move her things as quickly as possible. Staying in this house, under the same roof as her father, was no longer an option. Her gaze fell on a framed photo of her and her mother. A sudden thunderclap filled the air. “It’s raining,” she whispered, brushing her fingers over the glass. “Mom always loved the rain.” She exhaled softly, placing a hand on her stomach. Rising from where she sat, Gemini walked toward the open balcony, lifting her head to the darkened sky. The sound of a car pulling into the driveway made her shift her focus. Peering down, she watched as a sleek black car came to a stop. The door unlocked, and two figures stepped out, black umbrellas obscuring her view. Her brows furrowed. They were here to see her father. Quickly, she stepped back from the balcony before they could spot her and made her way to th

~YOU ARE MINE STILL~Gustavo made his way out of the kitchen toward the living room exit, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he spotted Gemini approaching. “Hey,” he called out, a fake smile plastered across his lips. Gemini’s brows furrowed in annoyance, but she forced herself to stay calm. Now was not the time to get upset. “You have a little…” Gustavo said, reaching out to brush a smudge of lipstick from the corner of her lips. She recoiled instantly, slapping his hand away as she glared at him. *Shameless bastard,* she thought, wiping her lips with the back of her hand. “No ‘thank you’?” he mused, feigning disappointment. “You’re getting ruder by the day, Gemini, and I don’t like it.” His tone was teasing, but the threat beneath it was unmistakable. “I wouldn’t be if you learned to keep your hands to yourself—especially off someone else’s wife,” she shot back, disgust evident in her voice. Gustavo chuckled, shaking his head. *Someone else’s wife.* It was funny. No ma

~GREEDY AMBITION~There was nothing more they could do but wait for Nanny Lauren to call, as Simon had suggested. Gemini walked him to his car. “Are you sure you don’t want me to stay and help you pack?” he asked, concern obvious in his eyes as they flickered from her to the house. Gemini smiled, her hand gently holding his. “As much as I love your company, I know you’re a busy man. Don’t let me keep you,” she said, hoping it would convince him to leave. This was her family’s problem, and she was going to solve it herself. She would get to the root of everything. “I’ll be visiting my grandma. I heard her health has gotten worse.” Simon’s expression softened. “How are you coping with that?” Gemini had always been close to her grandmother, staying by her side ever since she was diagnosed. Now, she was losing another family member, and the thought terrified her. “Well… I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared as hell. But Uncle Brandon is still around—that’s a good sign.” She

~MINE ALONE~Gemini pulled away from Simon’s hold, her hands clenched into fists as she bit her lower lip until she tasted copper. “I won’t forgive any of you if anything happens to Nanny Lauren,” she said, her voice unwavering. “Especially you, Father.” She was done. Done with his tricks, his lies, his cruelty. She refused to break—especially not in front of them. “What a stupid brat,” Mr. Saint growled through gritted teeth. His cold eyes bore into his daughter. He should have disowned her long ago, but he couldn’t. Not now. Not when she was the key to everything Maya left behind. Those damn documents. He needed to get his hands on them—before Gemini did. “You never fail to disappoint me, Gemini,” he said, his tone dripping with hate. “It’s almost tragic that we’re related.” His gaze shifted toward the doorway. Gemini instinctively followed his eyes, and when they landed on him, her stomach twisted. Gustavo.That bastard.“I hope I’m not interrupting a family momen

~MORE THAN A MAID~Sunlight streamed into Gemini’s room as she slowly opened her eyes. She stared at the small bird chirping on the balcony, its tiny frame hopping along the railing. Last night’s conversation with Simon echoed in her mind. "A family," Gemini whispered, a soft smile curving her lips. Sitting upright, she let her hand rest on her belly, gently caressing it. She looked around the room—it felt familiar, comforting. She was back in her space. She sighed. Reaching for her phone, she noticed a missed call from Nanny Lauren. Frowning, she dialed the number back, pressing the phone to her ear. It rang. And rang. No answer. That was odd. Nanny Lauren always picked up her calls immediately. She tried again. Nothing. And then a third time. Still nothing. "Strange," Gemini murmured. She placed the phone back on her nightstand. *I’ll just see her at Dad’s place later when I go to get my things,* she decided before pushing the thought aside and getting out of b

~GETTING RID OF PROBLEMS~Nanny Lauren's face turned pale as she listened in on their conversation. Madam Ciara had been poisoning Sir Saint. She knew she couldn't stay there for long before someone caught her spying. She needed to inform Ma’am Gemini. *These people are devils. How could they?* she thought. “Why are you so surprised, Ciara?” Gustavo asked, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. “You think I don’t know about all your dirty dealings?” He took a slow, deliberate step toward Tiara, his eyes assessing her from head to toe. She was trembling—it was almost pathetic to watch. “How dare you threaten me with that?” Mrs. Ciara spat, her hands clenched into fists. “You think if I go down, you won’t go down with me? I know all about the funds you've been siphoning from Saint.” Gustavo smirked. He was impressed that she still had the guts to stand up to him. But he also knew she wouldn’t do anything with that information. “Should I be scared? Compared to me, you
