Four Babies and a Billion Dollar Lie
Four babies. A billion lies. One mess.
Ares Langford is reckless, spoiled, and dangerously close to losing his billionaire inheritance. One more mistake and his father swears to cut him off for good.
So when a cop pulls him over for speeding, Ares panics and lies. His girlfriend is giving birth, he claims. The officer insists on escorting him to the hospital. Desperate, Ares bribes a random nurse and finds a stranger who just gave birth to quadruplets.
Tessa Monroe is exhausted, broke, and alone with four newborns she never planned to raise by herself. When a cocky rich guy begs her to play pretend for a million dollars, she agrees.
But one lie spirals into a full blown scandal when Ares’ mother storms into the hospital, declares Tessa family, and whisks them all into the billionaire’s world.
Now Ares is stuck playing baby daddy to four kids who aren’t his, pretending to love a woman he barely knows, and fending off his father’s wrath all while the world watches.
What starts as a lie turns into the biggest twist of their lives.
Will love bloom in the chaos or will the truth destroy everything?

Chapter: CHAPTER 197Happy ever afterThe morning sun rose slowly over the estate grounds, casting a warm golden glow across the massive garden that had been transformed overnight into a wedding haven. Soft music flowed from the speakers arranged discreetly behind draped floral arches.Rows of white chairs faced a double-wide altar decorated with fresh roses, lilies, and chandeliers suspended elegantly under a transparent canopy. Everywhere smelled of flowers, vanilla candles, and promise.It was the day no one thought would ever come.Ares and Tessa’s wedding.Julian and Ayisha’s wedding.Same place. Same time. Same stage.A double celebration for two couples who had survived storms that could have broken anyone else.Inside the bridal cottage, Tessa stood before the mirror, hardly recognizing herself. Her wedding gown was a soft ivory, elegant but not loud, long sleeves, fitted bodice, flowing skirt that made her look almost weightless. Her hair was pinned up in a loose bun with delicate crystal pins sh

Chapter: CHAPTER 196Last man standingThe street was silent when the convoy of patrol cars rolled to a stop. Their tires crunched against gravel, headlights cutting through the narrow alleyway like blades. Julian climbed out of the car first, his breathing uneven, his clothes rumpled from hours of panic.Ares and Tessa stepped out behind him, each weighed down by exhaustion and dread, while Richard stood beside the officers, pointing toward a dimly lit warehouse at the far end of the street.“This is the location the tracker pinged last,” one of the officers whispered.Julian didn’t wait for further instruction. He pushed forward, ignoring the officer’s warning hand, ignoring Ares calling after him. His heart slammed violently inside his chest, pounding against his ribs hard enough to ache. The closer he got to the building, the faster everything blurred around him, the ground, the chilly night air, even the flashing red and blue lights.Ares caught up with him and grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop be

Chapter: CHAPTER 195 Empty houseJulian reached his front door breathless, his mind still spinning from everything that had unfolded in the past twenty-four hours. He had left Ares’ mansion only moments ago, promising to return quickly after checking on Dorcas, promising to reassure her, promising to be present.He fumbled with his keys, hands shaking, his pulse pounding in his ears. All he wanted was to see her sitting on the couch, rubbing her belly and pouting about something silly. He wanted to hug her, tell her he chose her, tell her nothing mattered more.But when he opened the door, the house greeted him with a silence so heavy it felt like a slap.“Dorcas?” he called out, stepping slowly inside.No answer.He dropped his keys on the table and walked through the living room… empty. The remote was still on the sofa where she usually left it. Her blanket was neatly folded instead of tossed aside. Her slippers was gone. His heartbeat quickened as he hurried toward the bedroom.The bed was made. Her p

Chapter: CHAPTER 194 Can’t goThe tension in the mansion lingered long after Ares and Richard were finally pried apart. Richard stood at the center of the living room, chest rising and falling sharply, his lip split and bleeding. Ares was breathing just as heavily, hands still trembling from fury, while Tessa and Julian hovered between them in a tight, restless circle as though expecting one of them to lunge again.But Richard didn’t. He wiped the back of his hand across his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, “If you want your kids back alive, we have to move now.”The words sucked all the air out of the room. Tessa froze. Ares closed his eyes and forced himself to steady his breath. Julian ran a hand through his hair and exhaled shakily. None of them liked Richard but right now, he was the only lead they had.Ares finally spoke. “Fine. Lead the way. Mr. Know it all.”They left the mansion together. The drive to the police station was tense and silent. Tessa stared out the window, hands pressed together i

Chapter: CHAPTER 193 Collision at the GatesThe morning had barely stretched into full daylight when the mansion’s calm shattered under the violent pounding of fists against the front gates. The sound echoed across the estate, sharp, frantic, relentless like someone striking metal with desperation rather than strength. Ares, Tessa, and Julian were still in the living room, caught in the long, torturous silence following the news of the kidnapping. None of them had slept. Their clothes were wrinkled, their eyes red, and their tempers stretched thin as wires.Another crash hit the gate, louder this time.Julian’s head jerked upward. “What the hell..:”Tessa was already moving. Ares was right beside her, his jaw clenched, his face carved with sleepless rage. The three rushed outside, footsteps hammering on marble, dread rising in their throats like smoke. When they reached the veranda, they saw the gate rattling violently, the metal vibrating beneath the force of someone’s kicks.“It’s Richard,” Tessa breat

Chapter: CHAPTER 192 Taken in the NightThe morning sun rose without warmth, spilling a dull, hesitant light across Ares’ mansion. Inside, silence lay over the house like a curtain, thick, breathless, wrong. Tessa stood frozen in the center of the living room, her phone hanging uselessly in her hand as the words replayed, sharp and violent, carving themselves into her mind.“They’re gone.”The voice had been shaking. One of the school officials. Confused. Terrified. Struggling to understand how four healthy children and their guardian had simply vanished before dawn.Now the phone slipped from her fingers and landed on the couch with a soft thud. Tessa’s knees buckled for a moment, but Ares caught her elbow, steadying her before she could fall. His grip was firm, grounding yet she barely felt it. Her whole body trembled as if her bones were rattling beneath her skin.“Ayisha… the kids…” Tessa whispered, her voice thin and strangled. “They didn’t arrive… they didn’t… they’re gone…they’re gone.”Ares’ jaw
