Semua Bab THE BILLIONAIRE’S UNWANTED HEIR.: Bab 1 - Bab 9

POV: Elena"Let go of me, Chairman Vance."I didn't yell. I kept my voice cold and sharp, staring straight into his dark eyes. Alexander's grip on my wrist didn't loosen. His fingers were like iron, his thumb pressing right against my racing pulse. He knew I was terrified. He just didn't care."Mom?" Leo's small voice cut through the silence. He didn't cry. He reached out with his little robotic toy car and brought it down hard against the back of Alexander's expensive leather shoe. "Let go of my mom."Alexander flinched slightly, but he didn't move his foot. He looked down at the boy, his jaw tensing so hard a muscle twitched in his cheek."Let her go, sir, or I am triggering the airport security alarm right now," Sarah shouted, her finger hovering over her smartphone. Two of my hired guards stepped forward, their hands resting near their waistbands.Alexander finally released my wrist, stepping back just an inch. He slowly knelt down on one knee, bringing himself to eye level with m

POV: Elena"Are you insane?"I ripped my hand out from under his palm, sliding backward on the massive silk mattress until my back hit the heavy velvet headboard. My breath was ragged, my heart slamming against my ribs so hard it felt like it would break."Look at the data, Elena!" Alexander roared, slamming the white paper down onto the mattress right in front of my knees. His face was entirely pale, his veins bulging against the skin of his neck. "I don't want to believe it either. But the paternal matching algorithms don't lie. The sequence has a thirty percent overlap that only exists in the direct genetic line of Nathaniel Vance. He didn't pass it to me. He passed it directly to Leo.""That is impossible!" I shouted back, my voice cracking as I grabbed the paper, my eyes scanning the technical columns. The numbers blurred together, but the bold red stamp at the bottom was clear. Direct Lineage Match: Subject Alpha—Nathaniel Vance. "I never even met your grandfather until the day

POV: Alexander"Step back, Vivian," I said, my finger tightening against the trigger of the gun concealed beneath my shirt.Vivian laughed, a high-pitched, ugly sound that didn't match the sweet girl I thought I knew for a decade. She racked the bolt of her silver submachine gun, pointing it straight at my forehead. "Or what, Alex? Look at the glass. My man doesn't have a contract with Vance Global. If I twitch my finger, he fires. Your little bastard dies first."Through the observation window, the armored guard slammed Leo against the metal medical cart. Leo's small glasses fell to the tiles, shattering instantly. He didn't cry out. He just stared at me, his little chest heaving under his damp navy coat."Alex," Elena gasped from the operating table behind me. She tried to pull herself up, the IV lines taut against her skin. The glowing blue fluid spiked in the clear tubes as her blood pressure monitors began to alarm. "Don't let them... don't let them take Leo...""Lie down, Elena!

POV: Elena"Get away from her, Diana."Alexander's voice was a low, terrifying growl as he pulled me tighter against his bare, bruised chest. His heartbeat was hammering wildly against my cheek. Even in the mud, with his entire empire stolen, he stood like a king ready to tear down anyone who approached us.Diana Sterling laughed, a dry, aristocratic sound, and leaned heavily on her silver cane. "Look at yourself, Alexander. You are bleeding, you are bankrupt, and your security chief is dying in the front seat of a garbage truck. You have no cards left to play. I am the only one with a helicopter and a private medical team that can save your twins. Unless you want to deliver them in a mud puddle.""We don't need your charity," I said, my voice cracking as I held Leo closer to my hip. "You kept this a secret for twenty-five years?
