Carrying An Heir For The Wrong Billionaire
"If you leave, I'll kill your son,” Conrad says, his voice firm.
I stop by the entrance door, turning to face him. “Go ahead. Kill him if you want to.”
He scoffs.
“At the expense of your three-year- old son's life? You really don't care, do you?”
I sigh. “No, I don't. Not if he's your son too. I have nothing to do with your blood anymore.”
He stares at me, his eyes narrow. “My son? Noah is my son?”

Chapter: EPILOGUE {THE END}{Eight Years Later} The house that once echoed with the soft rustle of newborn cries now vibrated with laughter and screams of the children. Dylan and Daisy darted between the sofa cushions in the living room, their laughter echoing off the walls of the house as Conrad tried to grasp them. They had just turned eight years old yesterday. Eight years. It was like time was running faster than it should without pausing for once. It was somehow scary. They celebrated Christmas yesterday with family and friends. And today, it was their alone time. Amelia glanced at Noah who was sitting by the fireplace, reading a book. He was now thirteen years old, but acting like sixteen or seventeen. He wasn't running around alongside his siblings, or playing much with his grandpa like he used to. He had grown overnight into a quiet, smart boy. Amelia had watched him yesterday, during the Christmas celebration. He had taken only two pieces of chocolate truffle from the dining table, though

Chapter: TWINS AMELIA {Six Months Later} When the day of the wedding finally came, Greece gave us clear skies. The church stood quietly near the Eurotas, dressed in Ivory flowers, lilies and bright roses. Conrad had suggested that I choose another country to have our wedding, but I didn't want to choose. I was alright doing it anywhere as long as Conrad and my loved ones were by my side. But he still wanted it to be unforgettable. He said I should think of it as a family vacation too. He had brought out a map and told Noah to choose any country, and Noah had chosen Greece as a choice. Now, here we were. In Sparta, Greece two weeks before the wedding. We had time to explore different scenery as a family before the wedding. I had stood in front of the large mirror in the bedroom earlier. I had caught sight of my gown hugging the soft curve of my belly,lace sleeves glimmering faintly under the lights. My belly wasn't being hidden anymore. Nine months in, and I couldn't wait any longer for the

Chapter: TAKE HER CONRAD Gavin's smirk widened. “You're still the same,” he said, voice low. “Nonchalant and proud.” I stared at him, not uttering a word. A thousand memories—since our childhood until now, surged through my mind. We were almost inseparable. Now, we were speaking to each other like we were strangers who had lost our memories of our friendship. “How have you been doing?” I asked, the question desperate to tumble out of my mouth. My voice sounded smaller than I intended. He shrugged, then sighed softly. “I'm leaving for Australia tomorrow. I'll be living there permanently. My business has also been moved there. So, I'm glad I won't be seeing much of you anymore.” He said it with the same casual tone he used when we first got into trouble and he said he wouldn't save me from my father's shouts. But he later did. I smiled, my mouth a thin line. I knew that Gavin was bluffing about being glad to not see me anymore. But I wasn't happy that my only best friend was moving far away. Wi

Chapter: GAVIN HEREAMELIA Two years. It had been exactly two years since my father and mother had left the country. The day before they had left, my father had spoken to me on the phone, telling me that he needed to take my mother away for a while so that she wouldn't dwell on the past and her terrible mistakes.He hadn't said if they would return or not. I couldn't reach him through calls most of the time. Now they were back, without informing me. I stared at the surprise etched on my face.My father's hair had silvered at the temples, his smile still pure. “Dad,” I breathed, the words tumbling out quickly. “You're here.” I embraced him fully.He patted my back gently muttering, “It's great to see you again, my dear.”I pulled away, scanning his features. He had aged, happiness flickering across his lined face before softening into that familiar crinkling grin. He placed a hand on my cheek, his warm hand smoothening it.“We wanted to give you a surprise dear,” he said, his voice low enough that only

Chapter: ANNOUNCEMENTCONRAD The Mercedes purred to a stop in front of the grand marble facade of the banquet hall. Conrad got down from the car, stretching his hand forward towards me. I smiled, placing my hand on his, while he gently helped me down from the car.He wore a sleek, tailored grey suit, with grey tie, matching with my long grey dress, having a slit at the side. Even now, he looked the same as he always did. And it was better than him ever looking different. I wouldn't ever want anything about him to change.The moment we got down, a flood of light slammed into us. Cameras clicked like hyperactive fireflies, their lenses catching every sparkle on us and around us.Conrad held Noah's hand by his side as we walked inside the hall. From the glittering chandeliers that dangled like constellations above the entrance, to the huge picture frame of Conrad and I that hung on the entrance wall, everything was amazing.“Wow,” I breathed, the word low. I felt a flutter in my chest, not for the beauty o

Chapter: FINALLY SAFECONRAD I sat in my study, setting up my laptop for a video conference meeting with my recent investors in a few minutes.My phone rang out on my desk, and I glanced at the caller Id. It was Ronald Dew.He was the police investigator I had hired to find Irene wherever she was. A week after she was gone, I had texted Tristan to ask if she had arrived in Norway. But she hadn't boarded any plane or reached there.It meant that she was still in the city, and possibly around us. I couldn't risk anything.I quickly answered the call, bringing the phone up to my ear. I have been awaiting an update from him since I assigned the task to him, but so far, they haven't been able to see her. Six weeks of searching for her was in vain. I hoped that he was at least calling for a piece of valuable information this time.“Ronald, any update?” I asked, my tone firm.He stuttered, then cleared his throat. “Good day, Mr Pierre,” he greeted with professionalism. “There's a significant update compared to

Chapter: MY PLACEASHLEY My gaze locks onto Caleb. His eyes are dark, and his face is stripped of the charming appearance he usually wears around me. What has gotten into him? One time, he's the perfect guy I want to have in my life, another time, he's like a leech I want to get off my back. He knows exactly how to turn a quiet moment into a public interrogation. “Yes. Just the one time,” I mutter, my voice steady. There's no tremor brewing in me. I've lied to him again. And this time, the word slips off my tongue as easily as a breath. As I say it, I wait for the familiar sting of guilt to hit me, but there's nothing. It's like it's becoming a habit—one I would like to stop before I get too far, in order to avoid ruining our relationship. I don't want to get too deep in this web of lies. Mrs Isabelle laughs, a nervous tone in it. Her eyes flicker between my plain face and Caleb's hardened expression. “I was only kidding because the atmosphere is tense,” she says, trying to smooth things ov

Chapter: LATER, RAINBOWASHLEY I stand outside Jeremías’ bedroom door, my fingernails released from the palm of my hand. I had managed to hold my temper in check all night, ever since Caleb told me about the incident. But now that I've confronted Jeremías, the anger in me hasn't dispersed. If anything, it is suffocating me.I had gone into his room, expecting a fight, expecting him to admit it. Rather, he was maddeningly calm about it. He didn't get angry. He didn't accept the claims, and he also didn't bother to deny them, either.My eyes had flickered to the cut on his lips, but I was too livid with anger to concern myself with it. In my mind, it was just an act of self-defense from Caleb.But when I had firmly said that I would never be his, the composure he had been maintaining shattered. I noticed the way his jaw had tightened, the way the veins in his neck had pulsed with much intensity. It was visible. His eyes had turned cold, his gaze on me shifting to that of a predator watching his prize sli

Chapter: I'M NOT YOURSJEREMÍAS Someone pounds on my door twice, the sound echoing in the quiet room. I don't know if it's something urgent, but with the way the knock started, it had to be extremely important, like a hurricane approaching soon. “The door's not locked,” I call out from inside the room. The person doesn't hesitate or wait for an invitation. The door flings open and Ashley storms in, to my surprise. I'm in a press-up posture, my body bare, with only the shorts I'm wearing. When I see her fully, I stand, exhaling silently. “How dare you? Who gave you the right?” she shouts, her voice cracking with the intensity of her fury. I don't get the time to fully admire her before she lashes out. I arch my brows, looking at her with a slight smirk on my face. “What right?” She approaches closer, almost closing the distance between us. Her index finger shoots out, pointing directly at my chest. The poor chest doesn't even know what's going on. “Who gave you the right to lay a hand on Cal

Chapter: SHE LOVES MECALEB I drop the icepack back into the refrigerator, shutting it gently. I can't sleep; not with the throbbing pain in my cheek. Just one blow from Jeremías is enough to keep me in pain for days. He's much stronger than I am. But he isn't the kind to return a blow, even if it's hard. This isn't my first rodeo with me, so I knew better. Or I thought I did. Each time I threw a jab at Jere back then, he never sent it back to me. He just lets me hit until I get the satisfaction I need. But this time, he hit back. Not relenting once. And this tells me the little I need to know about his obsession with Ashley. I can't sleep. I need to see Ash and talk to her. I need to know Ashley isn't under Jeremías' thumb. And I need to keep it that way. I go upstairs, walking across the hallway until I reach her door. I stop, knocking on the hard wood gently. No response. I knock again, same force, but still no response. There's silence. She's already asleep from exhaustion. Turning the door

Chapter: WARNINGSJEREMÍAS I touch my lower lip, and pull my hand away to inspect the damage. A small drop of blood beads on my fingertip. My expression hardens as I look up at Caleb. “You're angry?” I ask, my voice deceptively calm. “Why? Because of what I said? Did I say something wrong?” Caleb doesn't answer. His breathing is ragged, his eyes wide with desperate possessiveness. He doesn't think. He just throws another punch at the same throbbing cheek. The blow is harder than the first, a sharp pain to my teeth. But I don't wince. Pain is just pleasure for me. I stumble back, my eyes still locked on his. “Someone else wants her, so fucking leave her life,” I growl, going closer to his space. “You don't even love her,” he spits, his jaw clenching. “Stop pretending like you care!” He raises his fist again, but I don't let him this time. I shove his arm down with a violent motion and jab his face slightly. The impact sends him stumbling back, trying to regain his stamina. I don't know why I d

Chapter: PEOPLE LIKE ME?JEREMÍAS I wipe sweat from my forehead with my wristband, breathing heavily. “That was a bad shot, Jere,” Andre says, jogging over to retrieve his ball that had gone past the net at the other side of the court. “You couldn't even get it into the net even when you were so close to it.” I exhale sharply, looking at the net. “Quit talking and practise more.” I snatch the ball from the air, my movements swift. I bounce the ball, driving hard towards his side of the net, successfully dribbling past Andre in a way that makes him stumble. But when I go for the net, my focus shatters. The ball hits the iron and bounces away. Andre drops down to the floor, sighing loudly. “That was awful, man. 6-0. What's wrong with you today? We have the finals coming up soon, you know. And I can't watch you play like this, especially as the captain of this team.” I don't answer. I walk to the bench, collapsing on the wood. I grab my water bottle, unscrewing the cap and taking a long, desperate swallo

Chapter: LEAVELYDIA I had barely leaned in close enough to Julian when a familiar voice came from behind me.“That's enough." The tone was low and warning.I slowly turned to face the man, and as I thought, it was Ezekiel.He stood there, his jaw tightened, hands straight at his sides. He glared at me… or Julian, I couldn't tell.Julian turned to face him. "Ezekiel?”Ezekiel didn't even look in his direction. His eyes were fixed on me."Leave, brother,” he said.For heaven's sake. I didn't know why he was here. He was only getting in the way of the moment Julian and I were having."Hold on, Julian. Don't leave yet,” I pleaded, looking at him.Ezekiel then stepped between me and Julian and turned to him.“Your fiancé is drunk. Go and take care of her right now." He grabbed my wrist, not too tight, but strong enough to give me a heads-up that he was taking me with him.“Stop!" I hissed. “What's your problem, Ezekiel? What are you doing?" He didn't respond or glance back at me. He just focused on g

Chapter: YELLOWEZEKIEL The moment she entered the house, she bumped into Ava. Ava sneered, looking up at her.“Where are your glasses, nerd?" she spat, glaring at her. “You're already desperate to ruin my dress and my day." Lia scoffed. “I can't ruin an already destroyed dress, Ava. And if you think the dress makes you look like a princess,you might want to ask Julian thrice. He tends to tell the truth when you pressure him." She walked past Ava, like she was just some pest seeking attention. She gave a cocky smile. I couldn't help but smile. The Lydia I knew would have stammered when Ava spat nonsense on her. But now, she wasn't scared to defend herself. She was feisty.Ava groaned, her face laced with pure embarrassment and rage. She was intimidated by Lydia's presence and it was evident.LYDIA My heart sank low to my stomach the moment Julian slipped the ring into Ava's finger. Now, he was engaged to her, really. The way he picked her up and swirled her around lingered in my mind for a long t

Chapter: AFTER PARTYLYDIA The morning sun filtered through the curtains, and I groaned, pulling the covers over my head while trying to convince myself that everything that had happened last night was a dream. From seeing them having sex to Julian's engagement announcement.My phone buzzed continuously beneath my pillow, and I picked it, sitting up on the bed. My eyes widened as I glanced at the screen.There were messages undoubtedly from Julian. He hadn't messaged me since I left for Australia, and now, he had gotten my contact from who knows where and texted me. I felt a knot tie in my stomach as soon as I tapped on the message.Julian: Hey Lydia, I couldn't send the details last night. Was busy. Anyways, the engagement is a week from now. Friday by 12 noon. Venue is the Blaze mansion. And the party is still in the Blaze mansion immediately after. Still hoping you'd be there.I frowned, tossing the phone by the edge of the bed. Whatever happened last night was real after all. He was probably busy wit

Chapter: SURPRISELYDIAJulian stood there, glancing at me awkwardly, tightening his belt buckle.“So, Lydia, did you miss Julian so much that you just had to barge into the bedroom without knocking?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.I shook my head, trying to keep my cool. “No, I just arrived minutes ago. I didn't know Julian was in there,” I replied, trying to sound nonchalant.Ava raised an eyebrow. "At least, she saw us having fun,” she mumbled, but loud enough for everyone to hear.I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I met Julian's gaze. He looked a bit embarrassed, but not in the slightest, guilty. My heart crumbled hearing Ava's words. It was her and Julian on my bed, having raw sex. The amusement on Julian's face while she straddled him was something I wouldn't easily forget."Don't start, Ava,” he said, his voice low.Ava pouted her mouth, looking at me. The smug on her face wasn't noticeable, but I could vividly see it. "What? I'm just saying. Besides, why isn't she wearing her gla

Chapter: THE BLADE BROTHERSLYDIAI leaned against the door of the passenger seat as Tanner's jeep sped through the lit streets of Ohio.My bones felt weak after a grueling twenty-six hours flight from Sydney to Columbus, with two stops along the way. Especially as I had missed my first early morning flight due to oversleep.My body ached, my muscles stiff, and all I wanted to do was collapse onto a bed and sleep for a week.“We've arrived babe," Tanner's voice came as he glanced over, his perfectly styled blonde hair complementing his features.“Already?" I gave a dry yawn.He arched his brows, his brown eyes fixed on me. “If the ‘already’ you mean is for a two-hours drive without stops, which would take longer with stops, then yes. We're already here." I smiled faintly, rolling my eyes. “Well, can you circle the estate like twice, while I try to regain my strength?" That did it. That sentence was enough to make him cut the car engine, get down from the car, walk over to my side and pull the car door wide ope
