All Chapters of Carrying the child of a CEO (English): Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“WHAT do you mean, Hero?” Zekiel’s gaze snapped up to meet Hero’s. The man visibly swallowed under the weight of that predatory stare – it felt like Hero wanted to tear him apart with his eyes alone. “V-Venice isn’t in the country anymore, Kiel.” Hero didn’t even blink as two heavy objects from Zekiel’s desk went flying past his head – hurled at him with violent force. “What do you mean she’s not in the country?! Are you fucking with me?!” Zekiel’s roar made the walls tremble, his eyes burning with barely contained fury. “I’m telling you the truth. Venice is gone,” Hero maintained his calm despite the storm before him. “Impossible! She can’t just disappear on me!” The frustration in Zekiel’s voice cracked as he collapsed into his chair, fingers tearing through his own hair. “They left last—“ “Why didn’t you stop her?!” Zekiel’s interruption came like a gunshot. “How the hell would I know?! Do I look like I control Venice’s mind?! Do you think I have some tracking

“Quinn, I thought I could handle it. I thought I could watch over Zayne from afar, but I was wrong. With each passing day, my conscience is eating me alive. I gave that child false hope that we’d see each other again, but the truth is, we won’t. Bea… Bea still hasn’t reached out to me, even now.” Suddenly, Quinn hugged me, and I froze in surprise. “I’m sorry, Claire. I didn’t consider how you were feeling. I was too consumed by my own emotions for Timothy. Forgive me for leaving you alone.” I hugged her back and cried. “E-Every day that passes, I’m losing hope, Quinn. And now, this seems like the only way to fix everything.” She pulled away from our embrace and looked at me in confusion. “What do you mean?” I took a deep breath before answering her question. “I’m ready, Quinn. I’m ready to tell Zekiel the truth. I don’t care if he gets angry at me—I just want to make things right. I’ve been hiding from the past for too long. I can’t do this anymore.” She hugged me again af

The two were shocked by Claire’s sudden fainting spell, but thankfully, Zekiel acted quickly and caught the young woman. “Call some help, Hero! Bring them to our room!” Zekiel immediately instructed, swiftly carrying the woman back to their room. Zekiel and Hero had just arrived from the Philippines when Zekiel discovered Claire’s whereabouts in Paris—and the fact that she had become Louise’s secretary. Enraged, the young man nearly destroyed his office in a fit of fury, leaving it looking like a storm had passed through. Hero didn’t Intervene, having expected such a reaction. He wasn’t even surprised when Zekiel ordered him to book a flight to Paris. Hero hadn’t had the chance to call Claire to warn her, as he had been too busy handling their documents and ensuring their safety, so she remained unaware. Now, Claire was inside Zekiel’s room, laid gently on the bed like a sleeping princess. Zekiel was worried about her, yet he couldn’t help but stare. Sitting beside her, he b

“Let me be the one to talk to Zayne, sir, please?” Zekiel glanced at Claire when she spoke. The young man was about to leave to follow Zayne. “But Venice, I don’t want you to get hurt—“ “Sir, I can handle myself. Besides, would I really let my own child come to harm?” Zekiel fell silent at her words, then slowly nodded, making Claire smile faintly. She knew Zayne was angry because of how she had deceived him a month ago, so she wanted to be the one to fix the mess she had made. She stood up, and Zekiel steadied her, making her feel slightly awkward. She wasn’t used to his attentiveness, but she let it pass for now. She stepped out of the room, and Zekiel pointed to Zayne’s door. She immediately headed there. When she opened it, she saw the window was shut, making the room dim, but she could still see Zayne curled under a blanket. She took a deep breath and knocked. “Zayne?” she called, but there was no response. “I’m coming in,” she announced before entering and clos

“If only I had known that thing back then, I wouldn’t have let Tita-Mommy leave,” She said regretfully to herself. She had been too blinded by pain at the time that she failed to notice Claire’s actions. Zayne was filled with even more regret, especially after saying hurtful words to the young woman. He opened the door again and saw her talking to Hero, which solidified the plan in his mind. Without hesitation, he left the room. Meanwhile, Claire felt a wave of weakness as Zekiel walked away. Thankfully, she managed to hold onto the sink for support. “Claire, are you okay?” Hero whispered softly, making Claire glance at him. “Stop calling me by that name, Hero. It might just make things worse. Both father and son are angry at me,” Claire said tearfully. “This is your fault, Claire. I thought you were smart? But why are you so stupid when it comes to love? They really weren’t lying when they said love makes even the smartest people foolish,” Claire was taken aback by Hero’s
