THE BILLIONAIRE’S UNWANTED HEIR.

THE BILLIONAIRE’S UNWANTED HEIR.

"Sign it. Your three-year contract is up, and Vivian is back. I don't owe you anything else, Elena." For three years, Elena was the perfect, hidden wife to Alexander Vance, the ice-cold billionaire CEO. She tolerated his neglect out of loyalty, loving him in silence. But on the night of their third anniversary, Alexander coldly slid divorce papers across the table to marry his childhood sweetheart. Elena didn't beg. She signed the papers, left the diamonds behind, and walked away. The next morning, she discovered the ultimate twist: “”The pregnancy test was positive.”” Knowing his ruthless family would seize her child as a corporate pawn, Elena vanished without a trace. Five Years Later. Elena returns to the city, no longer the meek girl he discarded. She is now a brilliant, wealthy biotech consultant with an iron will and a dangerous secret—a genius four-year-old son who looks exactly like his father. Elena only came back for one thing: to use Vance Enterprises' medical tech to cure her son's rare illness, then disappear forever. But during a high-stakes corporate meeting, her son accidentally crashes straight into Alexander’s legs. Alexander looks down into a face identical to his own, then up at his "forgotten" ex-wife. His eyes darken with absolute, possessive fury. "He's four years old, Elena. Do the math for me. Because if you can't... my lawyers will."

Chapter: Chapter 53 : The Orbital Cage.
POV: Elena"Don't move a single inch!" I yelled.I scrambled up off the floor of the lift, shoving Maya and Leo behind my back while keeping my body pressed flat against Alexander's broad side. My hand reached for the pistol at my hip, but my holster was completely empty, torn away during the elevator fight.Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass, the glowing blue curve of Earth sat framed against absolute, pitch-black space. The sight made my stomach flip upside down. We weren't in Switzerland. We were floating miles above the atmosphere in a metal coffin."Put your hands down, Dr. Lin," President Vance said, taking a calm sip from his glass. "There are no guards in this room. No shock batons. No proxy soldiers. Just me, you, and the man you think you saved.""Where are my children's incubators?" Alexander growled, taking a heavy, lethal step out of the lift.His bare, bloodied chest rose and fell in short, furious hitches. The cobalt-blue web lines on his neck were pulsing red now, a da

Chapter: Chapter 52 : The Forty-year Anchor.
POV: Alexander"You aren't my baseline," I growled, taking a massive step over Skylar's bleeding body on the white tile floor.I didn't give him time to raise the silver revolver again. I drove my left shoulder straight into President Vance's chest, taking us both crashing through the reinforced glass partition into the outer corridor.The heavy glass exploded around us in a roaring shower of sharp green shards.I pinned him flat against the damp concrete floor, my right fist smashing straight into his jaw, snapping his teeth sideways. "I tore my own mind out of the silver lock to stay with her! You think a Forty-Year tag frightens me?""It doesn't... frighten you, Alexander..." President Vance wheezed, blood spraying from his broken mouth as his fingers clawed frantically at my bare, bloodied forearms. "Because you... still think you're the one holding the gun...""Alex, look out!" Elena screamed from inside the vault doorway.I cut my eyes sideways just as two heavy tactical guards

Chapter: Chapter 51 : The Firstborn Blood.
POV: Elena"Maya?" The name tore out of my chest like a jagged piece of glass.I didn't care about the five hundred clones slamming against the iron blast doors outside. I dropped both incubators onto the padded deck, scrambling forward on my hands and knees across the cold white tile. Tears blinded my eyes, hot and heavy, blurring the tiny face staring back at me."Stay back, Elena!" Sarah Lin ordered, pulling a small black trigger from her pocket and holding her thumb over the red button. "You take one more step and the neural fuse in her collar fires!""Touch her and I tear your heart out with my bare hands," Alexander's voice echoed behind me, low, terrifying, and shaking with pure, unadulterated fury.He didn't stay behind the door frame. He stepped into the white vault like an armored demon, covered in black soot, green chemical residue, and fresh blood. His massive body blocked the entrance, his dark brown eyes locked onto Sarah Lin with a lethal, predatory promise."Look at he

Chapter: Chapter 50 : The Glass Hive.
POV: Elena"Get back!" Alexander yelled.He shoved his shoulder against the heavy steel mesh hatch on the elevator roof, kicking the iron latch until it snapped with a sharp crack.I scrambled down into the lift cabin right behind him, cradling one incubator while he carried the other, Leo dropping light on his feet between us. My eyes swept across the vast, freezing underground chamber, and my stomach plummeted into a cold, bottomless pit.Dozens of floor-to-ceiling glass tanks stretched out in endless rows into the dim red darkness. Inside every single one, suspended in green liquid, was my face. My body. My exact jawline, my hair, my hands. Hundreds of copies, completely motionless, eyes closed, floating like dead fish in a net."Alex..." my voice cracked, my fingers gripping the handle of my baby's pod until my knuckles turned white. "Tell me I'm dreaming. Please tell me I'm dreaming.""You're not dreaming, Dr. Lin," President Vance said from across the central walkway.He stood b

Chapter: Chapter 49 : The Silver Lock.
POV: Elena"Alex, stop!" I screamed, pulling against his grip with everything I had left.His hand felt like a cold iron cuff around my wrist. The skin of his palm was burning hot, but his eyes were completely dead, bright silver without a single fleck of the dark brown I loved."I asked you a question," he said. His voice was flat, totally devoid of emotion, like a machine running a cold diagnostic loop. "Identify yourself.""I'm your wife!" Tears burst from my eyes, freezing instantly against my cheeks as the howling arctic wind whipped my hair across my face. "Look at me, Alex! Look at Leo! Look at the babies!"He didn't look at the incubators. He didn't even glance toward Leo, who was standing three feet away with his small hands clenched into tight fists. Alexander just stared at my face, his silver eyes scanning my nose, my mouth, and my jawline like he was reading text on a glass monitor."File not found," he muttered softly.He didn't shove me. He didn't hit me. He just opened

Chapter: Chapter 48 : The Ghost In the Snow.
POV: Elena"I said put the gun down!" I screamed, my fingers slipping on the freezing steel trigger.The wind howled across the white wasteland, dragging sheets of snow over Alexander's still body. I kept one knee planted firmly against his hip, my other foot braced in the ice, standing over him like a feral animal shielding its mate. Behind me, Leo held both incubators tight against his chest, his small frame trembling inside his coat."You think a bullet stops me, decoy?" the woman in the fur coat laughed, taking another slow, heavy step forward. "Look at your husband's face. Look at his neck. The neural circuit didn't fail because of the blast. It expired because its timer ran out.""He's not dead!" I shrieked.I didn't waste another word. I pulled the trigger.BANG.The heavy slug tore straight through her left shoulder, spinning her backward into the snowbank. She let out a sharp grunt, but she didn't scream. She didn't drop. She pushed herself up from the red-stained snow, her f
