All Chapters of The Billionaire's unseen heir : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

As the door shut behind her, Daniela felt doubts hardening in her chest. She had spent too long depending on Alexander as the head of the house. But this time, She couldn't rely on him. Noah's life was at stake , and she wouldn't let anyone, not even her husband stop her from saving her child. She wiped her tears away, holding her trembling hands. She had no plan or clear idea of how she would raise the ransom money, but one thing was certain she would do whatever it took. Daniela went to her bedroom and locked the door. She pulled out her phone and scrolled through her contact lists. As she scrolled, She came across a name Liam Carter. He was an old friend,someone she had once trusted deeply before Alexander came into her life. Liam had always been helpful, and though they hadn't spoken in years, She knew he could help her navigate the cross road she was in. Her fingers clicked over the call button,but just as she was about to press it, A message notif

The dim light from Liam’s laptop cast shadows across the small apartment. Daniela sat on the edge of the couch, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her mind racing. Liam was hunched over the keyboard, his face illuminated with a determined glow as he scrolled through security footage and accessed private records through his network of contacts."There’s something here," Liam said, his voice cutting through the heavy silence.Daniela jumped to her feet and rushed to his side. "What is it? Did you find him?""Not yet," Liam replied, zooming in on a grainy video from a nearby convenience store. "But this footage was taken a few blocks from the drop-off point. Look."He pointed at the screen, where a van with no license plates idled suspiciously near the curb. Two masked men climbed into the vehicle minutes after the drop-off time."They didn’t even wait," Liam muttered. "They left right after rejecting the money."Daniela’s breath caught. "That has to be them. Do you think Noah was in

Noah's small body shivered with cold in the room, as the cold five into the cracks in the crumbling walls. His wrists were bound tightly with rope,the rough fingers digging into his tender skin, leaving marks with every movement on his skin. He could barely feel his fingers anymore, the blood circulation long since cut off. Tears was all over his dirt - strained cheeks, but he dared not sob loudly. The sharp sting of earlier punishments had taught him the price of crying. The kidnappers' voices echoed from the adjoining room, their tone harsh and impatient. Noah couldn't understand all the words they said, but he could hear the anger in each word. “ Stupid woman”one of them murmured, “ She brought only ten million naira . Did she think we are running a charity here?” “ We should have hurt the boy earlier” Another said,” Maybe then they will take us seriously”. The words went deep down Noah's heart . He kept on praying deep down that someone he knew would come to

Daniela sat in her car for a moment before pulling into the parking lot of Liam's office. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turned white as she tried to calm herself to breathe well. Her chest felt heavy,weighed down by the fear and the uncertainty that had consumed her since Noah disappeared. She had been to the school, spoken to the principal and hired investigators but every path felt like she was just wasting her time and effort. With nowhere else to go to, She decided to go to Liam's office. Liam had always been her rock, her voice of reason when the world felt like it was falling apart. She hoped and prayed that he will know what to say from giving home fully. Gathering her courage, Daniela stepped out of the car and Walked smartly towards the doors of the office building. The receptionist greeted her with a smile, but Daniela could barely acknowledge her as she made her way to Liam's private office. When she pushed the door

The words on Daniela's phone blurred as tears filled her eyes. “ I have warned you to keep searching away from your son”. Her hands trembled as she held the device , her breath going low. The message felt like a noose tightening around her neck. Who could be doing this? And why? Who did she offend?She looked around the quiet street, trying to look for a hidden watcher. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows,and passerby seemed oblivious to her turmoil. But Daniela's suspicion grew wider. Was someone in the car watching her or monitoring her movement? Was the old man at the Cafe more than just a casual observer? She forced herself to breath, pressing her palm against her chest in her attempt to calm her grievous heart. With trembling fingers, She forwarded the message to Liam, as the only hope and lifeline she has.Moments later,her phone buzzed with his reply. “ Come to my office . We need to talk”.The ride to Liam's office felt like the journey of a th
