The Billionaire's Rejected Twins Chapter 44
Valentina set her phone on the bench for a moment, then picked it up again and opened her cousin Michael's last message."Available on Thursday at 2pm. Meet me at my office and Come alone."She typed back a single word of confirmation and put the phone screen-down on the bench again.Around her, the park carried on with its quiet morning routine. Joggers passed at an easy pace, parents pushed strollers along the paths, and dogs pulled their owners toward patches of grass. It was the kind of ordinary rhythm she'd rarely stopped to notice before. Today, it was exactly what she needed. Nobody here cared who she was or what her engagement meant on paper.She pulled up the latest coverage on the Bella Moreau story and read every line slowly, paying attention to the smallest details.The story had started to shift overnight. Two larger outlets had picked up Bella's counter-statement and were asking tougher questions about where the original story had come from. People were beginning to see

Valentina's espresso had been cold for twenty minutes. She hadn't touched it yet because she was too busy reading.The story about Bella Moreau and the Seneca family records had spread much further overnight than she'd expected. Two major lifestyle outlets had picked it up, each reframing it through its own angle, and as a result, the comments were moving in directions that even she found uncomfortable. Even so, she scrolled with one finger at an unhurried pace reading every line She'd been watching everything unfold for a while now from a position few people could understand. She was still engaged to the man at the center of it all, at least on paper. The ring was still on her finger, but his calls had dwindled to once every couple of days, and even then they were nothing more than brief, practical conversations.She wasn't angry anymore. If anything, she'd moved past that. What she felt now was something much closer to clarity.Evelyn had called her three times over the last two we

Julian came through the front door at ten past nine with his shoes on the wrong feet and his bottom lip pushed out."Mama." He walked straight into her legs and grabbed two fistfuls of her shirt, looking up. "My friend said something bad about you."Bella crouched down immediately. "What did he say?"Julian's face scrunched. "He said your name is on his mom's phone and he made a mean face." He pressed closer, tucking his head against her neck the way he did when something had unsettled him without him fully understanding why. "I didn't like it."Bella held him. Over his shoulder she caught Helena's face. Helena gave a small, tight nod.Meanwhile, Selena had been standing in the hallway the whole time, still in her coat, quietly watching. After a moment, she walked over and stopped beside Bella, gently placing one hand on her mother's arm and gripping it without saying a word.Bella gently pulled back from Julian and looked between them both, taking in his confused, slightly wounded th

Evelyn set her coffee down and turned the laptop screen toward Alex. The article had been live for forty minutes. Already at four hundred shares."Moreau Foundation Director Accused of Using Unproven Abuse Allegations as Custody Leverage""Comments are running exactly where we wanted," Evelyn said. Her voice carried the particular calm of someone watching a plan execute without friction. "The custody angle is shifting public opinion exactly where we wanted it. So far, nobody's questioning the story we're giving them."Alex leaned forward and read through the first visible comment thread. One woman called Bella calculating. Another questioned why a grieving daughter would wait years to reveal evidence of abuse unless she intended to weaponize it. Meanwhile, three shares had already come from accounts connected to the foundation's key financial backers.He straightened up."How long before the bigger outlets pick it up?" he said."By evening if it keeps moving at this pace." Evelyn clos

The private lounge Lorenzo had chosen was quiet and deliberately neutral, with cream-colored walls, no staff within and two untouched glasses of water already waiting on the small table between the chairs. He was already seated when Bella walked in. The documents were already on the table.She sat down and looked at them without picking them up."These are paternity petitions," he said. "Filed yesterday morning. You'll receive formal notification today or tomorrow, but I wanted you to hear it from me first."She picked up the top page and read it in silence. When she reached the end, she carefully set it back on the table without saying a word."The petition includes photographs, a detailed timeline, and three witness statements from people who have seen the twins in public." His voice remained flat and methodical, as though he were presenting a business proposal rather than discussing two children. "The case is strong, Bella. And if you decide to fight it publicly, it'll cost you fa

The morning was quiet in a way that made Bella's skin itch.Helena had the twins occupied in the living room with building blocks with the low sound of Julian's instructions drifting through the house like a radio left on. Bella sat at the dining table with her laptop open with foundation documents she'd been reading for the last twenty minutes without absorbing a single line.She heard the front door before she saw him.Carlos came through carrying a security report folder and exchanged a few words with Helena in passing. Then his eyes found Bella across the room. For a second, neither of them looked away. Then another passed. Finally, she looked back at her screen first.He pulled the chair beside her and sat close enough that she could feel the warmth off his arm without them touching."Anything overnight?" she asked, voice low."Nothing unusual so far. But Lorenzo's attorney made a couples of calls this morning to a family court liaison." He kept his voice low, matter-of-fact. "I

Valentina was already at the penthouse that same day when Lorenzo walked in, sitting at the kitchen island with her laptop open and a coffee going cold beside her. She looked up when he came in, her gaze steady and quietly observant.She watched him cross the room.“You’re quiet,” she said, glancin

The clinic doors slid open and Lorenzo walked her through, his grip firm on her upper arm. Not quite painful, but close enough to send a clear message.Bella tried to slow her pace, a small resistance, but his fingers tightened instantly, pressing into her skin without him even glancing her way.Th

Bella sat on the edge of her bed, her mind racing.She didn’t stay long enough to reflect. She pushed herself up almost immediately, pacing a few steps before stopping again. Her fingers drummed against her thigh, restless, as she tried to think of something, anything that could help her.She pulle

Bella remained in the study, still standing there long after the door had closed.She couldn’t believe what her father had just said. The words kept replaying in her mind. Her chest felt tight, like the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving something heavy and suffocating behind.Evelyn was
