His hidden heir
It started with the most annoying encounter at the mall.
One glance at him, she wished she never crossed paths with him again, He wished so too.
Not until fate brought them back again. At her father's party. Something about her pulled him slowly and deeply without warning. He tried to shrug it off but he couldn't.
Then one night, Alex had too many drinks and Alice is to meet her friend at the hotel when she walked into the room where he is...and they crossed a line they aren't meant to.
During the act, he made it clear: He never wanted kids.
She nodded, not until her test results came back positive.
Years later, their paths cross again. He sees a little boy with his hair type....and he demands to know who he is. But the man beside her, Chris Wales, holds secrets darker than anyone suspected. Secrets that tie him to her blood in the most twisted way.
Can a child mend what fate once broke?
Or will secrets tear them apart once more?
Or will secrets, lies, and a mother’s manipulations tear them apart once more?

Chapter: Chapter 35Sunlight was streaming through the window when Alicia woke up.Alex’s arm was around her waist. They were both still naked,For a second, she lay there, trying to tell if this was real or a dream.It was hard to believe.She turned over carefully. He was still asleep. Looked peaceful for once. Not stressed or angry or tired.Just… him.She touched his face lightly. He stirred.“Morning,” he mumbled.“Morning.”“What time is it?”“Almost nine.”“Shit.” He sat up too fast. Winced. “My head.”“That’s what happens when you drink half a bar.”“Worth it though.”She smiled. “Was it?”“Yeah.” He kissed her. Soft and quick. “Definitely worth it.”They stayed in bed another hour. Just talking. About nothing important. About everything.Eventually she got up. Put on his shirt from last night.“That looks better on you,” he said.“Everything looks better on me.”“Can’t argue with that.”She made coffee. He came into the kitchen wearing just his jeans. Hair all messy.“So,” he said.“So.”“What d

Chapter: Chapter 34Her eyes widened in surprise. She blushed and took her hand off his.“I…I don't know what to say.”“Say you'll be my date. You will come with him next week to our dinner and be by my side.”“This is a great honor, Alex .”“How?”“I…”She said nothing and looked down.He was confused. Had his request made her uncomfortable? He thought she felt something for me, too.“You can think about it if you want. You don't have to give me an answer today, you know?” he said.“You can also decide not to be my date. I…won't be upset,” he lied.He turned to leave, but she grabbed his wrist and held him back. He looked back to stare into her big, beautiful eyes, staring back at him.“I don't need time to think about it. I'll be your date, Alex .”He smiled, moved towards her, and pecked her on the cheek.“Then I shall be expecting you, Mon coeur.”$$$He ordered a beautiful purple gown and sent it to Alicia as attire for the evening feast. He also sent a sweet note with it, hoping she’d like it.The

Chapter: Chapter 33Alex woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. He sat up, looking around , expecting to see the usual headboard of his bed. But he was shocked upon seeing a different headboard. What?He fell up to the bed and to the floor with a thud. “Ow!” He had not noticed he was at the edge of the bed.He looked up and squinted his eyes. Where was he?What happened last night? He could not recall anything. He then noticed he was wearing only boxers. What?! Only boxers?! “I hope I didn’t make any mistake last night!”The door opened. He got up instantly at alert.Alicia entered, an apron around her waist.She looked at him and sighed.“You are awake.”“How did I get here?”She raised a brow.“I kidnapped you!”“Huh?”“Stupid. You stumbled here all drunk by yourself.”He was shocked. But then memories of last night flooded into his head. He blushed with embarrassment.“I’m…I’m sorry.”“It’s okay. Come on. I made something for you.”As she turned, he noticed a hickey on her neck.He sto

Chapter: Chapter 32Alicia got Alex inside and shut the door.He fell onto the couch hard. Like his legs just gave out.She stood there looking at him.“Can’t believe you showed up like this.”“Sorry.”“You’re completely drunk.”“Little bit.”“Alex, it’s three in the morning.”He just nodded.She went to the kitchen. Got water and aspirin. Came back and handed them to him.“Drink.”He did. Spilled some on his shirt.She sat on the coffee table across from him. Close enough their knees touched.“What happened?”“Bad night.”“Yeah, I can see that.”He had blood on his knuckles. She grabbed his hand to look.“How’d you get hurt?”“Don’t know. Climbed a fence maybe.”“A fence?”“I don’t remember anything. I think someone was chasing me?”“Jesus Christ.”She got up and found the first aid kit under the bathroom sink. When she came back she sat next to him on the couch.Started cleaning the cuts on his hands. He didn’t even flinch.“My dad called,” he said.“Yeah?”“Said you’re like my mom. That you’ll ruin ev

Chapter: Chapter 31Keith leaned back. “You know what your problem is?”“I’m sure you’re about to tell me.”“You think you can control everything. Fix everything. Keep everyone safe from everything. But life doesn’t work like that.”“Thanks for the fortune cookie wisdom.”“I’m serious. That girl—Alicia—she survived five years without you. Raised a kid alone. Built a career. She doesn’t need you to protect her.”“Then what does she need?”“For you to be honest. Stop trying to manage everything and just… be real with her.”“I am being real.”“Are you? Or are you being the version of yourself you think she needs?”He didn’t answer.Keith stood up. “Read the statement. Get some sleep. And maybe talk to her like an actual human being instead of some corporate robot.”“I don’t sound like a corporate robot.”“You absolutely do. It’s actually impressive how emotionally constipated you can be.”“Get out.”She smiled. “There he is. Real emotion. See? Not so hard.”She left.Alex sat there staring at the folder.He

Chapter: Chapter 30Later, after Aiden was napping and Zara had disappeared somewhere, Alicia went looking for him.She found him in his office. On the phone again. His voice was tight.“I don’t care what she wants. The answer is no.”Pause.“She doesn’t get a say in this.”Pause.“Tell her to back off or I’ll handle it myself.”He hung up. Turned around. Saw Alicia in the doorway.“How long have you been standing there?”“Long enough. Who was that?”“Nobody.”“Alex…”“I said it’s nobody. Just work stuff.”“Don’t lie to me.”“I’m not lying.”“Yes you are. Your jaw does this thing when you lie.”“My jaw does not do a thing.”“It absolutely does.”They stared at each other.“It was Leah,” he finally said. “My stepmother.”“What did she want?”“To tell me I’m making a mistake. That you and Aiden are going to ruin everything.”Alicia felt like she’d been slapped. “And what did you say?”“I told her to back off.”“That’s not what I asked.”“What do you want me to say?”“I want to know if you think she’s right
