All Chapters of Secrets of the Night: A Billionaire’s Hidden Heirs: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Kate Pov Daniel sighed, looking at me with a pitiful expression. He could tell that I was going through a lot. He might not know the details, but he could discern it."Can you tell me how you have been? I know we've been distant, but I still kept track of you. The last thing I knew about you was that you and your husband divorced six years ago," Daniel said."I'm fine. I'm losing my patience, and I will just walk out now. I don’t want to be rude, so please go straight to the point," I said, trying to hold back my anger and pain.Daniel, of course, understood the reason for my anger toward him, so he went straight to the point. "A woman from a rich and powerful family approached me a long time ago when her husband's company was almost going bankrupt. And although I'm not half as rich as they are, I had what it took to help them at that moment."He continued, "I realized that if I simply asked the woman to pay me back in the future, the payback wouldn't last. So, I did what I thought w

Kate Pov I was now in the mansion with my six kids. They were in Bella’s room, and I had told them that she was their second grandma. She would be responsible for taking care of them, but since I lived in the mansion, I would always check up on them and play with them as usual.Most importantly, I warned them again and again to refer to me as ‘aunt’ instead of ‘mum.’ When they asked why, I told them it was necessary for now. I explained that it would keep us all protected. Though they couldn’t fully understand the reason behind it, they agreed.My greatest fear was that one of them might mistakenly call me ‘mum’ in front of Roberto.I sat on the couch in the large room where Roberto and I would be staying, smiling as I remembered how Cora and Bella had showered my kids with so much love when they saw them.But my smile soon disappeared when Roberto walked in."Successfully married to the most powerful man in the city. Now your dream has come true, right?" he said."That's not my drea

Kate Pov He watched as Bella led the children to her room. Were those six children really hers? But she couldn’t have abducted six identical kids at once, even if she had wanted to.He said “he needed to find a way to talk to at least one of them whenever He got the chance to”.Meanwhile, I sat in the bathroom, frustrated. I was perched on the edge of the bathtub with only a towel wrapped around my body. How heartless could this man be? If he wanted to lock me up, did it have to be in the bathroom?Hours passed, and night fell. I had kept hoping he would change his mind, but he didn’t. To make matters worse, I hadn’t eaten dinner, and I was so hungry.As the night fell so deeply, I realized there was still no sign of anyone coming. Did that mean I wouldn’t get to check on my children tonight?I walked to the door and knocked. No response. I banged on it in frustration, then screamed, yet still, I got no reply.I continued hitting the door with all my strength, but it was too strong. I

Kate PovI didn’t know what to say anymore. I was in a state of dilemma, my mouth literally shivering. Why didn’t my plan to run away go as planned? I despised Lucas so much for going to pick up my children.After two minutes of silence, the call ended.My hand dropped slowly from my ear. What would Roberto plan on doing to me now? I had angered him, and I was now in deep trouble."The phone, please," Jack requested, and I handed it over to him. I had even forgotten that Jack was standing before me.As Jack walked away, I became so lost in thought that I barely noticed what was going on around me anymore. I was in deep suspense about what Roberto planned to do to me. Most particularly, I was scared that he might go ahead and ask Lucas about it. If Lucas spilled the truth, wouldn’t I be in even bigger trouble?Should I quickly go to Lucas and plead with him to cover up for me? I turned to look at Lucas and saw him smile at me with a mocking expression. At that moment, I remembered how

Kate Pov I walked into Bella's room with the children, and this time, she was already awake. The moment she saw the kids with me, she sat up and asked, "I’ve been worried since I couldn’t find them here. Did you take them out?""No, ma…" I hesitated, unsure of how to explain that the children had left on their own and wandered around the mansion, playing.Bella counted the children, and a frown crossed her face when she realized only three boys and two girls were present."The children should be six. Where is she?" she asked."That’s Sophia. She can be quiet and weird at times. She refused to follow her brothers and sisters here. I’ll go and get her now," I assured her before stepping out to get Sophia."Come around," Bella said to the children, pointing to them to take their seats. They obeyed, but I could tell they weren’t happy.It had only been a few days since they last saw me, yet it felt like a long time to them. And now that I was here, I had left again. They probably hoped
