All Chapters of The Billionaire's Betrayal: A love Child: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Joyce's POV"Thank you very much for taking good care of Rafael. I'm truly grateful," I said, expressing my appreciation to the woman standing before me.She seemed pleased as she smiled sweetly. "You're welcome, Joyce. He's been a good boy since day one. Though he's a little naughty, like any kid his age, he's a bright child. The day he answered the teacher's question, I instantly knew he was quite brilliant and must have gotten it from his parent's good genes."I blushed hard as Adrian's face popped into my head."I guess so," I muttered, avoiding her gaze."Are you okay, mommy?" Rafael asked his innocent gaze on me."Of course, darling. I'm okay," I replied with a soft voice."But your face is all red," He retorted with a cute frown."Oh, is it? It must be the weather," I said. Let's go home.""Byee, Madame Pat," Rafael's babyish voice echoed through the room."Hahaha... Bye, Rafael," Madame Pat chuckled heartily, shifting her gaze to me. "Goodnight, Joyce.""Goodnight, Madame Pat.

Natalia's POVAfter Carmen and Ruiz left, Antonia never, for a second, stopped running her mouth. Even the others were getting tired of her boring, repetitive talk. Ligia kept busy on her phone while Sergio continued with his meal. All this time, Luis's gaze was lustfully fixed on me.It made me wonder whether Ligia was unaware of the kind of man she was engaged to or if she knew and was simply pretending to be blind to it. His persistent stare made my skin crawl; I needed to excuse myself.I stood up slowly from my seat, my eyes on Ligia. "Ligia, I need to use the restroom. Where is it?"She raised her head and pointed to her right. "The restroom is down the hall, second door on your left.""Thank you," I said in a low voice as I caught Luis's mischievous smirk. I felt he was up to something, but I dismissed it.I followed the directions and found the restroom designated for females. I pushed the door open and walked in.The restroom was spotless and had an automatic hand dryer, scen

Elizabeth's POVThe previous incidents from the blind date kept replaying in my mind as I stood in the middle of the garden, enjoying the cool breeze, which soothed and comforted my aching heart.Javier had ensured he got rid of everything that might remind me of the pains, but it was inevitable. I didn't want to forget. I wanted to feel the pain, so it served as a reminder and fueled my resolve for revenge."Madame, breakfast is ready," came a female voice behind me, and I turned to respond."Wait a little bit, Jimena. Javier is on his way," I said. I want to have breakfast with him.""Okay, madame," Jimena replied with a bow.I gazed piercingly at her as she walked away. Though skeptical about getting a maid, I didn't know what I needed to do to ensure my well-being. Now, I was weighing the possibility of her being one of my pawns and allies, just like Javier.The doorbell ringing snapped me out of my thoughts, and moments later, Javier walked in."Elizabeth, how are you?" He asked

Joyce's POV"Thank you, sir," I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper. I could tell my face was red because of the heat washing up from my neck. I couldn't believe I was blushing at a harmless compliment."You should get back to your table," Adrian said, pulling me from my trance. Embarrassment washed over me as I realized I’d been standing there staring at him for far too long.I walked back to my seat, cross-checking, proofreading, reviewing—anything I could do to keep myself busy until 12 p.m. I glanced occasionally at him, only to find his face buried deep in the documents on his table.'Rafael's father,' I said inwardly. It was such an irony—the same man Rafael was pestering me about. I felt the urge to walk to him and slap him in the face for forgetting me and leaving me alone with our child, but it wasn't going to make any sense.If I'd really wanted him to know, I should have mentioned it the first day I stepped into his office for the job interview.A knock on the door sn

Natalia's POVI felt the urge to groan in frustration as I watched Ligia choose more items from the mall. It had been four hours since we got to the boutique, and she still claimed not to have gotten what she wanted. Even the guards helping her carry the items were already tired but couldn't express their feelings.My mind returned to the scene I had met at the Lopez mansion when Gabriel dropped me off. It was definitely an argument, but they brushed it aside, saying it was just a play fight, which I didn't believe.There was something wrong with those two, but I had decided to mind my business."Nat, come help me check out this dress," Ligia called, jolting me out of my thoughts.I approached her to examine the red vintage gown in her grasp. The dress was beautiful and I wanted it for myself, but I had to compromise to avoid a fight."It's beautiful. You should take it," I advised her, smiling perfunctorily."Alright," She replied, throwing the dress at one of the bodyguards. Luis wa
