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 70: Bernard’s Departure
"They make quite the pair," Bernard muttered, his gaze tightening as Alistair's arm wrapped protectively around Belle's shoulders. "How could I have let this happen?" The door behind him creaked open, and Julian, his trusted counsel, came in. He could feel the weight of his own anger settle in his chest, like a stone weighing down. "You're not going to win her heart, Bernard," Julian murmured, his voice tinted with the knowing that annoyed Bernard so much. "I didn't ask for your opinion," Bernard said angrily. He looked at the couple outside again. "But it's true, isn't it? They've already taken what was mine. Julian shrugged his shoulders. "You didn't fight for her when you had the chance." Alistair did. Bernard's fists clenched. "I can't win her over now, can I?" His voice was so low that it sounded like he was whispering, yet there was a hint of bitterness in it. He looked at them for a while longer, his eyes burning with an intensity that showed how determined he was. "But t

Chapter: Chapter 69: Dismantling the Empire
Alistair walked swiftly around the office, his mind as sharp as ever. His father's empire, which was based on lies, deception, and unscrupulous business deals, was starting to fall apart. He was putting an end to all of the contracts, mergers, and unlawful businesses. He picked up the phone and dialled the last number, his fingers shaking with intent. He told them to "sell the shares in Whitmore Industries." "Everything." Now. There was no way to go back now. He had already gotten rid of the corrupt subsidiaries, put loyal supporters in charge of the company, and cleaned up the mess his father had left. The first thing to do was get the company back under control. Now was the moment to face the man who had woven this web of lies. Alistair's jaw tensed as the call came to an end. He was so close to getting away from the bonds his father had put on him for years. But even though he felt better, there was still a cold, persistent feeling of dread. It wouldn't be easy, and Alexander Ke

Chapter: Chapter 68: The Mastermind Revealed
Alistair sat shifted over the old family archives, the musty odour of worn paper and ink permeating the poorly lighted room. He turned the yellowed pages quickly, his mind racing. The family's past was always a mix of riches, power, and tradition. But when he read the material, something didn't feel right—his stomach was uneasy. Alexander Kensington, his father, was always someone he thought was a good leader and a man of his word. But these records told a different story. He stopped on a page that had a symbol on it that he didn't know. He read the sentences out loud, and his eyes got bigger. His voice was just above a whisper. "Alexander Kensington... he's been in charge all along." His palm shook as he reached for the next page, and the pieces of a grim puzzle started to fit together. His father had planned more than simply their family's climb to prominence; he had controlled every move and every choice. Alistair could feel the weight of the news bearing down on him, making it h

Chapter: Chapter 67: The Fall of Lucy
"You think you've won?" Lucy's voice broke the silence; it was calm but full of anger. She had her hands in fists at her sides and her jaw set. No one in the room moved, and no one spoke up. Alistair stepped forward and his eyes grew hard. "You've let everyone down, Lucy." We believed in you. Lucy turned her look on him, and her eyes were full of anger. "Trust? You never got what I was saying. You always wanted to be the hero. She laughed bitterly, yet there was a hint of despair in her eyes. Belle remarked in a calm but firm voice, "Look around, Lucy." "This is it." Lucy stayed quiet for a long time, her chest rising and falling as she thought about how heavy it all was. Things had changed in the game, and there was no way out. But Lucy wasn't finished yet. She would fight no matter what. As Lucy faced Gate Alistair, the big hall appeared to close in on her. The man who had previously believed in her now stood with his arms crossed and his eyes full of disappointment. Her heels

Chapter: Chapter 66: Public Declaration
Alistair's heart raced as he stepped onto the huge platform, the gala's excitement fading to a hushed silence. The warm lighting made the room look golden, and the velvet curtains behind him hung like a veil. People that were there stood still with their eyes on him, waiting. Every part of him shouted "command," and every stride had a purpose. He saw Belle in the crowd, standing with her hands clasped in front of her and a weak grin on her lips. As soon as their eyes connected, he felt a rush of clarity wash over him. This was it. No more games, no more hiding. He cleared his throat, and the microphone made his voice louder. "Belle Kensington is my only wife tonight," I said. His words echoed in the room, and the air seemed to hold its breath. It was so quiet after that. Guests spoke like waves, but Alistair didn't move. He couldn't take his eyes off Belle, who seemed shocked and amazed at the same time. He could feel her heart beating in time with his. Lady Kensington's deadly gl

Chapter: Chapter 65: The Desire to Reclaim
The door cracked open, and there she was: Belle. Her face was closed off, but Alistair could see the look of surprise in her eyes. She didn't think he would be there. "Alistair?" Her voice broke a little, like she had been holding her air. He felt his heart race and couldn't find the right words. "I'm here to make things right." Belle looked at his face, and her lips moved as if she were about to say something, but nothing came out. Instead, she took a slight step back, and her body language showed that she was closed off and unsure. There was fear in her eyes, but also something else: hope. That expression made Alistair feel like he was going to drown. He opened his mouth to say something—anything to close the gap between them—but the words didn't come out. "Why now?" she said softly. The question hung in the air, heavy with the loss of everything they had. Alistair felt a chill in the air, and he knew that if he didn't act first, they would be lost forever. Alistair moved fo
