Claiming the billionaire ceo genius baby

Belle Madrigal was forced into a contract marriage with the enigmatic and powerful Alistair Kensington, heir to Kensington Enterprises, to save her childhood home. The catch? Alistair was in a deep coma when the contract was signed. His ruthless father, Alexander Kensington, orchestrated the marriage to maintain control over the family empire. But when Alistair unexpectedly wakes up, the nightmare begins. Enraged by the forced marriage, he vows to punish Belle for what he believes is a scheme to trap him. His threats turn cruel when he swears that if they ever had children, he would erase their existence from the world. Four years later, Belle has rebuilt her life in France, raising her genius fraternal twins, Theodore and Rosalie, away from the man who once threatened them. But fate is cruel. A single hacked message from her tech-savvy son to a live TV broadcast sends a challenge to Alistair: "Come and get me, asshole." Now, with the past clawing its way back, Belle must fight to protect her children from the dangerous, brooding billionaire who is determined to reclaim what he unknowingly lost.

Chapter: Chapter 100: A New Enemy
"You're doing well," Alistair said, his voice full of both pride and worry. "But remember, Theodore, being a leader is more than just making decisions. You have the future on your shoulders. Theodore nodded, but he looked like he meant it. "Okay, Dad. I've been getting ready for this moment my whole life. At that moment, the door swung open. Alistair's close friend and member of the Kensington family, Victor Byrne, came in. But suddenly, Alistair saw a hardness in his eyes that he had never seen before. In a short voice, Victor said, "Alistair, Theodore." "We need to talk." You need to know something. Alistair's gut got tight. He knew something was wrong. "What is it?" Victor took a moment to think. "Someone in the company doesn't like your option. They believe you let them down by resigning. Alistair, it's making things tight. I think it will only become worse as time goes on. Everyone stopped chatting in the room. Theodore's gaze traveled back and forth between his father and

Chapter: Chapter 99: Alistair’s Sacrifice
"I've called this meeting to make a decision," Alistair began, his voice solid but with a trace of worry in the air. "I've thought about it a lot, and I've decided to step down as CEO of Kensington Enterprises." The room was still in astonishment. People in the crowd whispered in shock. Theodore's eyes went large and his mouth opened a little. Belle's heart raced. "Are you going to step down?" Theodore asked, his voice wavering and his face showing surprise. Alistair nodded and kept looking. "Yes." I now know that my priorities have shifted. I need to put my family, my future with Belle, and our kids first. The company is in good hands, so I think it's time for the next generation to take over. Belle's breath stopped in her throat. People were still asking questions in the room, but it was clear that Alistair had already made up his mind. Alistair stared into Belle's eyes, and they softened. "I've made up my mind, Belle." It's time for us to go on together. She tried to say some

Chapter: Chapter 98: The Struggle Within
Belle stood by the window and looked down at the street below, which was peaceful. The house felt heavier than it had before, and the silent corners were louder now that her mind was blank. She had a hard time with the pregnancy, and her body was no longer hers. She felt a light touch on her shoulder and turned to see Alistair come into the room with a worried look on his face. He said as he got closer, "You've been quiet all day." "I'm just tired," she said in a voice that didn't sound real. Yes, she was exhausted, but not the way he anticipated she would be. Alistair turned his head and looked her in the eye. "Is it the baby?" he inquired. Belle tried to smile, but it didn't last long. "That's not all, Alistair. It's all of it. All of this makes me feel like I'm not myself anymore. She pointed at the house next door. "These roles are the only things that make me who I am." Being a wife, having a child, and living this new existence... Alistair's face relaxed, and he took her ha

Chapter: Chapter 97: The Future of the Empire
"Are you really ready for this?" Even though Alistair's chest felt a little tight, his voice stayed strong. Theodore's eyes met his, and there was a fire behind them that he could see. "I'm ready." I'll show you. Alistair nodded, although he wasn't sure. Theodore was young, yet the way he talked made Alistair proud and scared at the same time. Theodore picked up the first sheet and looked at it carefully. He said in a low voice, "I'll start with the plan for the next quarter." Alistair sat back in his chair and watched his son get to work. Theodore moved right away. It seemed as if he had been born into the business and already understood everything about it. Alistair was proud and afraid at the same time. Was Theodore truly ready to take over everything? After a while, Alistair observed, "You're really doing this." Theodore looked up and smiled a little. "Father, I've been watching you my whole life." I think I'm ready to make a difference. Alistair's chest got tight. The chil

Chapter: Chapter 96: A New Home
"I can't believe we're actually doing this," Belle said, staring out the window as Alistair unpacked the car. She could feel the ghosts of the Kensington estate pressing against her chest, even though she was in a new city. Alistair came in with a box in his hands and stopped when he noticed her expression. He set the box down. He whispered softly, "I know it feels strange, but this is for us." For our future. "A new beginning." Belle looked at him, her eyes scanning his face for what he saw. He had always been hopeful, but this move was more than just a new address. It was all of it. "Do you really think this will be enough?" She asked in a voice that was barely above a whisper. "Can we really leave everything behind?" Alistair moved forward and took her hands in his. "We're not running away from the past, Belle." We're going forward. And we can change it. His voice got softer. "This is only the first step." The doorbell rang, ending the moment. Belle's pulse raced and her mind

Chapter: Chapter 95: The Final Victory
"Everything's ready," Belle's voice cut through his thoughts. It was pleasant and full of life. She walked over to him, and he always felt better when she was around. Her smile made him feel like the world was off his shoulders. Belle was going to talk to Alistair when Theodore strolled into the room. He looked exactly like the man Alistair had imagined: strong, determined, and confident. But Alistair could see something more in his eyes: a fire that he knew all too well. "Father, Mother," Theodore murmured, his voice strong but full of hope. "I've been thinking about what the next step for the organisation should be. I'm ready to make my first significant move as a leader. We developed something great, but now we need to grow. Belle raised an eyebrow, and Alistair's heart raced with both pride and anxiety. "What do you want to do?" Alistair asked, his voice full of both excitement and caution. Theodore's face was fixed as he gazed back and forth between his parents. "I want to ge
