Chapter Thirty one: The Enemy Within
The Billionaires Pawn /B.Krypton
*Lexi's POV* Vivienne arrived at the penthouse, looking frantic. Julian immediately went to her side, trying to calm her down. "Vivienne, what's wrong?" Julian asked, his voice soothing. Vivienne took a deep breath before speaking. "Etienne... he's changed. He's become a monster. I overheard him on the phone, and I know he's working with your mother, Lexi." I felt a chill run down my spine. "What did you hear?" I asked, my voice shaking. Vivienne hesitated before answering. "I heard him talking about how he's going to bring you down, Lexi. How he's going to make sure you never get what's rightfully yours." Julian's expression turned grim. "I'm not surprised," he said. "I suspected Etienne was up to something when he asked to stay behind during the business trip." Vivienne nodded. "I have to go. I have a feeling Etienne knows I came here to warn you, Lexi." Julian immediately sprang into action. "I'll send two of my men with you. They'll make sure you're safe." Vivienne nodded

_Lexi's POV_ I paced back and forth in my living room, my mind racing with thoughts. I had to know the truth about my past, and Mr. Thompson was the only one who could give it to me. I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed Mr. Thompson's number. He answered on the first ring. "Lexi, darling," he said, his voice warm. "What's wrong?" "I need to see you," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I need to know the truth about my mother." There was a pause on the other end of the line. "Lexi, I...I don't know what to say." "Just tell me the truth," I said, my voice firm. "I'll come to your house tomorrow afternoon. Will you be there?" "Yes, Lexi," Mr. Thompson said, his voice resigned. "I'll be here."

The Billionaires Pawn /B.Krypton
Lexi’s POV I looked up, seeing Julian walk into the room, and all the pain and helplessness I’d been feeling seemed to melt away. He immediately came over to me, concern etched in his features. He reached out to wipe away my tears, his touch gentle and warm. “What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice low and soothing.I closed my eyes, feeling a fresh wave of despair. But there was something else there too, something stronger, something I couldn’t ignore: the intense desire, the raw need I felt for him. I let out a shuddering breath, my voice barely above a whisper. “It’s just... family stuff. Nothing you can help with.”He didn’t look convinced. He knew there was something more, something I wasn’t telling him. But he didn’t press the issue. Instead, he took a step closer to me, his body just centimeters away from mine. I could feel the heat radiating off him, and I wanted nothing more than to throw myself into his arms, to escape into the comfort of his embrace.His hands came up to rest

The Billionaires Pawn /B.Krypton
Lexi’s POV He chuckled, his voice ragged with desire. “Beg me,” he said, his fingers continuing their slow, steady rhythm. “You know what I want to hear.” I writhed beneath him, my body tight with need. I wanted to give in, to give him what he wanted, but I needed it just as much.I whined, the sounds coming out of my mouth needy and desperate. “Please,” I managed to gasp out. “Please, I need you. I want you. I want you so badly it hurts.” He groaned at my words, his hand moving faster, the pressure building until I thought I might explode. He leaned down, his lips next to my ear. “Again,” he growled. “Say it again.”I repeated the words, over and over, until they were the only words I knew. “Please,” I begged, “please, I need you. I want you. I want you so badly. I can’t bear it. Please.” His body was taut above me, his muscles coiled with the effort of holding back. He gave a low growl. “Good girl,” he muttered, his words harsh and gravelly. “So good for me. I’m going to give you w

The Billionaires Pawn /B.Krypton
Lexi’s POVI knew Julian was right, and deep down, I didn’t want to admit it. He was always the rational one, always looking out for me. But still, the thought of not seeing my mother—it gnawed at me. “She’s dangerous, Lexi. You need to trust me”, Julian’s words echoed in my mind. But trust had been hard for me for so long, and that feeling wasn’t going away.It wasn’t just about finding answers—it was about facing the past. I had to do this. How else would I ever move forward? Julian didn’t understand what it felt like to live with questions that refused to leave you alone. He saw danger; I saw closure. And that difference was all that mattered.I watched him move around the house, packing for his business trip. His movements were hurried, efficient. He always had a way of making decisions quickly and acting on them without second-guessing himself. I envied that about him.His eyes darted to me every now and then, and I knew he was watching me closely. I hated being under his microsc

The Billionaires Pawn /B.Krypton
Lexi's PovJulian's absence was my biggest opportunity to leave the house and commence with my plans to meet my mother. I planned to make a special meal that everyone in the house could eat apart from myself, this is because I planned to add sedatives to the meal. Then head to Julian's control room and turn off the surveillance cameras. No one was going to be an obstacle to my plans.I called the maid, "Martha!""Yes ma'am," she replied, entering the room."Prepare the grocery list, we are going to do some shopping," I instructed."My apologies ma'am, but I was given a strong warning by Mr. Blackwood, not to let you out of the house until he returns," Martha said hesitantly."What? I didn't realize you were now a part of the security team Martha," I scoffed rolling my eyes at her."I'm afraid I can't defy his words, ma'am, I would lose my job, or even worse, this is about your safety," Martha explained."Whatever," I said, giving her a dismissive wave.As soon as she left for the groc

The Billionaires Pawn /B.Krypton
Julian’s POV I returned home earlier than expected. The business meeting had ended on a sour note, and I was in no mood for delays. As I entered the penthouse, I immediately sensed that something was wrong. The usually bustling atmosphere was eerily quiet, and the faint smell of blood lingered in the air. “Martha?” I called out, my voice echoing through the halls. There was no response. I quickened my steps, heading toward the living room, where I froze at the sight before me. Lexi was sprawled on the floor, her face pale and her lips stained with blood. Her phone lay beside her, the call still active. My heart dropped as I rushed to her side, scooping her up in my arms. Her breathing was shallow, and she was unconscious. “Lexi! Wake up!” I shouted, panic creeping into my voice. I grabbed her phone, hearing the faint sound of someone shouting her name on the other end. “This is Julian Blackwood. Who is this?” I demanded. “Julian, it’s Dr. Ashton. Lexi just called me. What’s happ
