All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Early morning sunlight filtered through the curtains as Nicholas sat at the side of their bed with his hands clasped tightly. His thoughts kept returning to the night before events, including the altercation with his father, Eleanor's surprise visit, and the mayhem that broke out outside Charles's mansion.His family's security was in jeopardy, and the decision he had to make now felt precarious. A single mistake could destroy everything he held dear.Then Cassie stirred behind him. She put her arms around his shoulders and gently sat up. She said, "You've been up all night," in a worried tone.Nicholas let out a long sigh. "I had trouble falling asleep. There is too much to contemplate.Cassie silently supported him by resting her head against his back. Nicholas, however, felt the weight of his choice pressing down on him even in the gentle warmth of her embrace.When the twins finally awoke and came downstairs, Nicholas was determined to talk to Cassie about it all.His tone was unu

The tumultuous scenario playing on Cassie's phone was softly illuminated by the dawn light that came in through the windows of their Paris flat. The screen was loaded with article after article, each with a more provocative headline."The Hidden Scandal behind Cassie Scott: Nicholas's Wife Linked to Fraudulent Ex-Boyfriend" “Cassie Scott's hidden past might destroy Nicholas Scott's legacy”.As Cassie scrolled, her hands shook. The words were jumbled together as her heart thumped in her chest. She had never imagined anything as bad as this."Cassie."Nicholas's voice interrupted her tumultuous thoughts. He was standing in the doorway when she looked up, his face displaying anger and worry.Her voice was hardly heard as she murmured, "I saw it."Nicholas walked across the room and removed the phone from her grasp. "You should quit reading this nonsense. They have nothing else, so they are excavating dirt.”Cassie's voice cracked as she replied, "But it's out there now." "People will ac

The living room of the Scott family's Parisian home was bathed in a golden glow as the morning sun streamed in through the French windows. Cassie had spent the previous week painstakingly organizing a tiny, private celebration for the twins' first birthday. A gorgeously prepared cake with little sugar figures of a boy and a girl on it sat on the dining table, and bright balloons in pastel pink and blue drifted close to the ceiling.Cassie fiddled with the bow on Emma's dress as the young child writhed in her lap, laughing at the tickle. Ethan however, was occupied with removing a ribbon from his birthday hat.Cassie smiled and kissed each of their foreheads, teasing them, "You two are the reason I didn't sleep last night."Nicholas came in with a tray of pastries and freshly prepared coffee. He stopped for a second, absorbing the sight in front of him, Cassie with the twins, the decorations, the laughter. It was a picture of joy that he had never thought was attainable only a few mont

Cassie looked out the window and heard nothing but the gentle hum of the private plane. The sea of white clouds below seemed to go on forever, but her mind was anything but serene. She looked at Nicholas, who was sitting across from her, quietly determinedly browsing through his tablet.Breaking the stillness, she remarked, "I still can't believe you planned this."With a slight smile pulling at his lips, Nicholas looked up. “Cassie, you needed a vacation. Both of us did. And it was time to remind you of what life is like when things aren't chaotic.”Though his words were comforting, Cassie's uneasiness from the previous few weeks persisted. She had been troubled by the media hysteria, the reappearance of her old pictures, and Richard's threats."Where are we heading?” In an attempt to change her mind to something more lighthearted, she inquired.Nicholas grinned broadly. "You'll see."A sleek black vehicle took them to their destination a few hours after the jet landed at a small pri

Nicholas held his coffee cup and gazed at the garden as the early light streamed into the living room, bathing the wooden floor in a warm glow. He was still troubled by the news from the night before. The recent scandal wasn't as damaging as he had feared—not yet. However, it was sufficient to disturb their already precarious tranquility.Cassie entered the room quietly, her sketchpad wrapped under one arm and her hair tied back in a low ponytail. She gazed at Nicholas with a mix of resolve and worry."Any new information? About the media hysteria,” she inquired.Nicholas gave a headshake. "There is nothing we cannot manage. If we remain together, it will be resolved.”Cassie smiled slightly at him and took a seat next to him on the couch. "That's good because I've been considering something—something more significant than this whole thing."Curious, Nicholas turned to face her. "What is it?"When Cassie opened her sketchbook, she saw preliminary plans for offices, classrooms, and a s
