The Billionaire Replaced Me With My Assistant
"You really thought I would marry someone like you?" His voice was as cold as ice while his blue eyes pierced through me without mercy. "You were just a convenient distraction.Victoria was always the woman I truly wanted by my side."

Chapter: Chapter 235Sophia's POVThe Morgan Holdings hall was full.It wasn't the biggest event I had ever organized, but it was, by far, the most important. Pink and white balloons hung from the ceiling, mixed with gold ribbons. A long table displayed appetizers and sweets. In the center, a two-tier cake – one tier with the company logo, the other with a miniature teddy bear.Two years of work. Two years of tears, of falls, of fresh starts. And there I was, standing beside the stage, Ingrid in my lap, the light blue dress falling over my shoulders."Nervous?" Michael asked beside me, his warm hand on my back."A little.""You're going to crush it. You always do."I looked at him. His eyes were fixed on me, full of a certainty I didn't know I needed to see."Thank you," I whispered."You don't need to thank me. It's the truth."I bit my lip to keep from crying before the speech.The room was full of familiar faces. Emma and Patrick, holding hands, Lizzie sitting on her father's shoulders. Mark, my right-h

Chapter: Chapter 234Sophia's POV Months later, the contractions started at three in the morning. It wasn't like in the movies. There was no sudden breaking of water, no dramatic screams, no frantic rush to the hospital. It was a dull, low pain that came and went like a wave. "Are you okay?" Michael woke up next to me, his voice thick with sleep. "I think… I think it's today." He sat up in bed so fast he almost fell. His eyes were wide open, his hair disheveled, his breath caught. "Today? How do you know? What do I do? Do I call an ambulance? Emma? Is your bag already packed?" I laughed, even as the pain squeezed my belly. "Michael, breathe." "I'm not the one having a baby. I don't need to breathe." "Yes, you do. Or you'll pass out before I get to the hospital." He jumped out of bed, put his pants on inside out, fixed them, put his shirt on backwards, gave up. Grabbed my bag, the car keys, me. "Let's go." The drive to the hospital was a silent torture. The contractions came every five minutes

Chapter: Chapter 233Sophia's POVVictoria's hands were trembling. She was sitting on the floor, knees pulled up against her chest, eyes fixed on nowhere. The white rope still lay forgotten between us.Her nose was running. She sniffled once, twice, but didn't wipe it. She just let the snot glisten in the room's dim light.The silence had lasted for centuries. Or maybe just minutes. I no longer knew."Don't say that again," Victoria whispered, her voice broken, wet. "Don't say I'm your sister again, you wretch."She took a deep breath. Or tried to. Her chest rose and fell in an uneven rhythm, as if the air wasn't reaching her. She sniffled again."I will never… never be your sister, do you hear me?"Her words hit me, but they no longer hurt. They only tired me.I remained standing. I looked at her. At the disheveled hair, at the oversized gown, at the hands that wouldn't stop shaking. At the snot running down. At the red, swollen eyes."So you already knew."She didn't answer. She just looked away."You k

Chapter: Chapter 232Sophia's POVThe dream always started the same way.Richard was in the garden of Eleanor's mansion, fallen after the drop. His body didn't move, but his eyes were open. Fixed on me. I approached, the cold stone floor beneath my bare feet, and he didn't speak. Didn't ask for help. Didn't scream in pain. Just looked."Why did you never tell me I was your daughter?" My voice echoed in the dream, strange, distorted. "Why did you treat me so badly? Why did you want to destroy everything?"Silence.He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Blood trickled from the corner of his lips, and his eyes remained there, glassy, watching me as if I were a ghost."Answer me, dammit! Why didn't you kill me when you could? Why did you wait?"Nothing.Just the wind in the trees of the mansion. Just his eyes. Just the silence growing between us until it became unbearable.And I woke up.My eyes opened to the bedroom ceiling. Cold sweat ran down my back. My heart was beating so fast I could feel it in my

Chapter: Chapter 231Sophia's POVI looked at the ceiling, then at him."I forgave her," I said finally. "Simply forgave her."Michael didn't respond. He just waited."She's a woman that life broke. She made mistakes. Manipulated. Did horrible things. But deep down… she just wanted to protect her daughter. And she failed. She lived with that guilt for years. I don't want to carry that weight. Especially because I don't think it's up to me to judge her."He touched my face, his thumb gently brushing my cheek."And can you do it? Live with this?""I can. Because I have you. Because I have Emma and her family. Because I have people I chose by my side." I looked down at my belly. "Because I have a new life to take care of."His hand slid to my belly. His warm palm against the thin fabric of my shirt."I'm going to be a father," he whispered, as if trying the word for the first time."You are.""And you're going to be a mother.""I am."He kissed me. It wasn't a kiss of desire. It was a kiss of promise."I jus

Chapter: Chapter 230Sophia's POV The car's ceiling, the leather seats, the dark glass… everything spun. I clutched the dossier against my chest so tightly my fingers hurt.The air ran out. The ground disappeared. And I stood there, paralyzed, while the world crumbled around me."Sophia," Eleanor called, her voice broken. "Please, say something."What could I say? That I was fine? I wasn't. That I forgave her? I didn't know. That I hated her? I didn't know that either."I spent years hating Richard for killing my daughter," Eleanor continued, tears streaming endlessly. "And now I find out he also raped her. That his blood runs in your veins. That my granddaughter is the daughter of my worst enemy."She rested her forehead against the front seat, her shoulders shaking."I feel like trash, Sophia. Trash. For not protecting Ingrid. For not looking for you. For letting hatred blind me for so long.""He knew," I whispered, my voice strange. "Richard knew who I was. That's why he pursued me. That's why he neve

Chapter: Chapter 108 [Eternal Enemies]Scarlett's POVSilence fell over the room. Claire looked at Marcus, then at me, then at Marcus again. Her face was tense, her lips pressed together."Darling," she said, her voice slightly irritated. "What does that matter? Miss Moore is a respected professional. It's not because of her name that we're here.""I know." He didn't take his eyes off me. "But there's something about you, Scarlett Moore. Something that makes me feel that I've… anyway, forget it.""You must be mistaken, Mr. Sterling." My voice remained firm, but inside my heart was racing out of control. "I've never been to New York. I've never seen you before.""Then why does your gaze seem so familiar to me?""Marcus!" Claire's voice was louder now, impatient. "Stop it! You're embarrassing Scarlett. It's not her fault she reminds you of someone."He didn't respond. He continued to look at me, as if trying to solve a puzzle that had haunted him for years.It was then that Helena intervened."Mr. Sterling," she said, her vo

Chapter: Chapter 107 [The Recognition]Scarlett's POVI clenched my hands under the table until I felt my bones crack. Sweat ran down my back, soaking the thin fabric of my clothes.The air left my lungs as if someone had punched me in the stomach. My palms became moist.My heart raced, beating so hard I could hear the blood pulsing in my temples.He froze too.His blue eyes fixed on me. They didn't look away. They didn't blink.He said nothing. Just looked. As if trying to see through me. As if he were recognizing something he couldn't explain.As if he were trying to unravel a mystery that had haunted him for years.I felt my entire body stiffen. The mask I had built so carefully began to crack.For a second, for a fraction of a second, I was Emily again. The fragile woman. The woman who had lost everything."Marcus?" Claire's voice cut through the silence. Her hand touched his arm, a possessive gesture he endured with visible effort. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"He didn't answer. He continued to look at me."Mr. Sterli

Chapter: Chapter 106 [The Video Call]Scarlett's POVThe office was silent.I was sitting, my eyes fixed on the computer screen, but my mind completely elsewhere. The words on the screen were in front of my eyes without me truly reading them. All my attention was focused on what I was about to do.Helena was sitting in the armchair in front of my desk, her attentive eyes watching me like an eagle watching its prey. Her silver hair shone in the afternoon light. Her hands rested on her lap, calm, but there was something in her posture that betrayed the tension."Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked, her voice calm, but with a tone of caution I knew well. "Talk to her again, so soon?""Yes." I pressed my fingers on the table, feeling the cold wood against my skin. "It's been a long time since I've had contact with them. Claire is the key to reaching Marcus. I need to convince her to bring him along. For the plan to work, I need to have both of them here, in the same place, at the same time.""And how are you going to

Chapter: Chapter 105 [The Time That Remains]Scarlett's POV "That's not true, it can't be..." The air left my lungs. I felt the world collapse around me. "How long?" "One year, maybe two." Tears began to form in his eyes. "If treated, maybe more. But there's no cure, Emily. There isn't." "No." I squeezed his hand harder, as if I could hold him there, as if I could stop time from passing. "No, Father. You can't. You can't do this to me." "Daughter, don't be like this..." "I just found you!" The words came out in a scream. Tears streamed down my face without stopping. "I just found you, Father! You can't leave. Not after all this. Not after all these lost years. Not after finally having you!" "Daughter..." His voice was trembling. "I know. I know it's not fair. I know it's not the right time. But you needed to know. I couldn't keep hiding this from you." "No." I squeezed his hand, my fingers trembling. "We're going to fight. We're going to find a doctor, a treatment, whatever it takes. We're going to fight together. I

Chapter: Chapter 104 [The Mansion]Scarlett's POVThe car stopped in front of a wrought iron gate, tall and imposing.The bars were thick, the iron details handcrafted, with arabesques that curled like vines. Behind it, a cobblestone road snaked between ancient trees, the intertwined branches forming a green tunnel that hid the view until the end. And at the end, when the road opened up, a gray stone Victorian mansion emerged, with tall, narrow windows, a tower on the right corner, and vegetation climbing up the walls as if the house were part of nature. It looked like something out of a fairy tale. Or a nightmare, depending on who told the story."Is this the house?" I asked, my voice low, almost a whisper.Helena, sitting beside me in the back seat of the car, nodded slowly. Her eyes were fixed on the mansion, as if she were recalling something ancient."Yes." Her voice was soft. "It's your father's house. Where he lived his whole life. Where your mother lived. Where you lived, before your grandmother took you away.

Chapter: Chapter 103 [The Embrace]Scarlett's POV The morning sun came through my bedroom window, but I didn't see it. I didn't feel the warmth. I felt nothing but the emptiness that had occupied my chest for three years. Because I can't stop thinking about that man. About my father. About Thomas Moore. About everything he said, everything he did. The memories I have of my childhood, the fragments my grandmother told me, the stories she invented to keep me away from him. It all fits. It all makes sense. The pain in my chest never goes away. It never will. But I need to heal. If I want my revenge to happen, if I want to destroy the Sterlings, if I want to find Nathalie, if I want to rebuild my life… I need to leave the past behind. Or at least learn to live with it. I got out of bed. Looked in the mirror. The woman I saw there was different from three years ago. Shorter hair, darker. Colder eyes, more calculating. A slimmer, firmer body. The surgery had changed my features, but it hadn't changed my essence. The
