Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Natalia's POVI arrived at Madrileno's den only to find out he was not in. However, I decided to wait for him, but the man at the exit refused to let me in."Leave and come back another day," He spoke rudely, which served only to piss me off. I could do nothing for fear of being beaten up. This was not my turf and I had to tread carefully. I couldn't defend myself, nor could I cry to Gabriel to help me exert revenge should anything happen here."I'm not leaving," I retorted adamantly, and we kept on arguing back and forth until Madrileno arrived.His attitude was strange and infuriating, but I still needed something from him, so I had to compromise and play along.I assumed I would have to go through the trouble of convincing him again, but he had gotten himself drunk, becoming susceptible to what I had in mind."Let me help you," I whispered seductively into his ears and pulled him towards the bed in the room. I tried unbuttoning his shirt, but the stubborn nut was still struggling.

Adrain's POV"Hello mum," I alighted from the car and headed to the penthouse. It was rare for her to call me, especially when she had one party or outing with her friends who loved living a life of luxury. ‘Enjoying the fruits of their hard work,’ they termed it.I regularly sent a monthly allowance to cover all she needed and then some more. She had never once complained or asked me to up the allowance since it was more than enough. I know she was not ill. So, what reason could she have for calling?"Hello, my baby boy," her deep tender voice seemed to resonate from the phone and reaching out like an unwelcome, distorted lullaby reaching out. "Mum, why are you calling by this time of the night? Couldn't it wait until morning?" I asked feeling a bit exhausted and impatient thanks to the long day I just had."Hmph... Do I need to give you reasons for calling? You're my son; I just wanted to hear how you're doing. Is that too much?......" She went on and on. I waved at Sebastian, who

Joyce's POV"Oh, my!" I exclaimed as I closed the last button on Rafael's shirt. I kept glancing at the door, hoping Christie would come in and say everything was fine and she didn't need to go anywhere, but it was just hopeful thinkingIt took a lot of toss and turn all night to finally make up my mind, and realize I had no other choice. I was taking Rafael to the office with me today. I didn't know how I was going to maneuver this, but I was going to find a way to make sure Adrian didn't see him no matter what. After all, what business does the CEO have to do with a daycare?I left him to watch his favorite cartoon and walked up to my closet to choose an outfit for the day. I chose a black pencil skirt, a white fitted top, and a black cardigan with a pair of white sneakers to match. Rafael and I wore matching outfits, but I made sure he had a cap on for security reasons."Let's go, darling," I picked up my bag and carried Rafael in my arms."Yay! Mommy is taking me out today!" He wa

JOYCE'S POVWith Adrian gone, I refocused on my work, immersing myself in the contracts and reports. My fingers moved mechanically across the keyboard, the clacking sound filling the silence.Regardless of how hard I tried to maintain professionalism and concentrate on my work, my mind occasionally wandered to Adrian's blind date.My thoughts began to swirl. Why did it bother me so much? I shouldn't care; I was just his assistant. But the image of him with another woman lingered, stirring up emotions I couldn't define.I took a deep breath, attempting to shake off the unease, but it lingered, leaving me frustrated. I needed something to get my mind off him till my working hours were over.Glancing at the wall clock, I made up my mind to see Rafael. It was lunchtime anyway.I shut down my computer, stood up, and headed out of the office, straight to the elevator. I was so eager to see my baby that I was almost running, attracting unwanted attention from the other employees."Hello, Mada

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINEJOYCE'S POVAll efforts to hide my nervousness from Adrian proved futile. But thankfully, it seemed he hadn't noticed anything about Rafael, which relaxed my tensed nerves.I was watching him the whole time he was on that call, and his face had been twitching in rage as he scrolled through his phone. There was definitely a problem, which made me curious. What could it be?Just then, as if my thoughts had been heard, a notification from Twitter popped up on my computer screen. I couldn’t resist so I closed the files I was reviewing and clicked on them.I was left speechless by the tweet glaring at me. "Adrian Ortega - billionaire, playboy, and CEO- spotted on a date with Heiress Elizabeth Goméz!" Twitter was abuzz with tweets and retweets, throwing around speculations about their relationship. So this was why he was twitching in rage. I would too if I were in his shoes."Adrian and Elizabeth: The new couple emerge!" One headline read.So this was why he was twitchi
