Chapter: ThreeChapter Three — The Monster’s TargetCeline’s POVBefore we knew it, a monster appeared.I barely had time to react before it rushed toward me and grabbed me by the neck.“Ah!”My eyes widened as its sharp claws dug into my skin.I grabbed its hand with both of mine, desperately trying to free myself, but its grip was too strong.“L-Let me go!”The words came out weakly.I struggled, kicking my legs as I tried to force its hand away from my throat. I couldn’t breathe properly, and the pain in my neck grew worse with every passing second.“Help…” I managed to choke out.I turned toward the stranger who had helped me earlier, my eyes filled with fear.He was only a few steps away, but before he could reach me, the monster raised its other hand, preparing to strike me again.My heart nearly stopped.“Please!” I cried, struggling harder. “Help me!”The monster tightened its grip around my neck.I felt my strength leaving me.Was I really going to die here?I had barely survived the first

Chapter: TwoChapter Two — The Hunger Inside MeCeline’s POVThe ground shook violently beneath my feet.A loud crash came from somewhere outside, followed by the sound of breaking glass. The walls trembled, and the chandelier hanging above us swung wildly.“What is happening?” someone screamed.Before I could understand what was going on, the ground shook again.This time, it was much worse.A loud crack spread across the floor, and a table toppled over. People screamed as they rushed toward the doors, pushing one another aside as they desperately tried to escape.“Everyone, get out!” a man shouted.I grabbed the edge of a nearby table to keep myself from falling.The entire building seemed to be shaking apart.Pictures fell from the walls. Glass shattered across the floor, and part of the ceiling broke loose and crashed down just a few feet away from me.I screamed and stumbled backward.I had never experienced an earthquake before, but I knew this wasn’t normal.Nothing about this day was norma

Chapter: OneChapter One: BetrayedCeline’s POV“Does she really believe you’re going to marry her next month?”Vanessa’s laughter drifted through the slightly open bedroom door.I stopped walking.I had been about to knock, but the sound of my stepsister’s voice made me pause. I hadn’t expected her to be here, especially at this hour.Then I heard my fiancé’s response.“Of course not. Why would I marry a woman I no longer need?”My heart skipped a beat.Jasper?I stared at the door, waiting for him to laugh and tell her he was joking. Perhaps I had heard him wrong. Perhaps they were talking about someone else.But then Vanessa spoke again.“I’m still surprised she signed the company over to you. That woman has always been suspicious of everyone, yet she trusts you more than she trusts herself.”Jasper laughed.“That’s because she’s stupid when it comes to me. I only had to tell her how much I wanted to build our future together, and she signed everything without asking questions.”My handbag slip

The Billionaire Secret Heir
Seven years of marriage. One night with the wrong man. And a pregnancy that could destroy everything.
For seven years, Aurora had endured humiliation, treatments, and endless accusations of being a barren wife.
On her seventh wedding anniversary, she believed everything was finally going to change. She had obtained one last fertility treatment and was ready to give her marriage another chance.
Instead, Roman came home with his mistress—and divorce papers.
Heartbroken and desperate, Aurora took the fertility drug before Roman left. Later that night, a man returned to her room.
Thinking he was her husband, she spent the night in his arms.
The next morning, Roman denied ever coming to her room.
Then Sebastian returned.
Roman’s supposedly dead-and-buried secret. His adopted brother. The rightful heir he had sent to prison seven years ago.
And the moment Aurora looked into Sebastian’s eyes, she realized the terrifying truth.
He was the man from that night.
Two months later, Aurora discovers she is pregnant.
Roman believes the child is finally his long-awaited heir.
But he has no idea the baby belongs to the one man he fears most.
Now Aurora must hide the truth while Sebastian returns to reclaim everything Roman stole from him—including the woman carrying his child.
Because seven years ago, Roman stole Sebastian’s life.
Now Sebastian is back to take everything back.

Chapter: SevenAurora’s POVSebastian’s parting words hung in the chilly air like a threat.Roman’s grip on my waist remained tight, but I could feel the tremor in his hands. He was trying to project power, but Sebastian’s sudden regain of board influence had clearly rattled him to his core."Ignore him," Roman muttered under his breath, his eyes glued to his phone as he scrolled furiously through his private emails. "He’s bluffing. The board wouldn't give him back a seat without consulting me first."He abruptly let go of me, pacing toward his study without looking back. "Stay here, Aurora. Rest. I need to make some calls to the legal department right now."The moment his study door slammed shut, the oppressive silence of the mansion descended on me once again.My knees felt weak. I stepped toward the hallway, intending to escape to my bedroom upstairs, but as soon as I turned the corner toward the grand staircase, a firm hand clamped softly around my wrist.I gasped, pulling back, but the grip was

Chapter: SixChapter SixAurora’s POVRoman held me tightly, his fingers pressing into my back with a gentleness he hadn't shown me in years. To anyone else looking through the window, it would have appeared to be a scene of pure, marital bliss—a husband celebrating the miracle of a long-awaited child after seven years of silent heartbreak.To me, it felt like a gilded cage snapping shut around my neck."We need to tell the family immediately," Roman said, pulling back to look at me, his eyes gleaming with a strange, possessive triumph. "The board needs to know too. This changes everything, Aurora. A legitimate heir secures my position at the company. No one can question my legacy now."My throat was dry as sand. "Roman, wait—isn't it too early? The report just confirmed it. We haven't even had an ultrasound—""It doesn't matter," he interrupted smoothly, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. The warmth in his touch was cold, calculated. He wasn't celebrating us. He was celebrating the leverage

Chapter: FiveChapter FiveAurora’s POVI stood outside the hospital for several minutes after leaving the doctor’s office, unable to move.The pregnancy report was still in my hand, folded carefully inside the envelope the nurse had given me.I looked down at it again, even though I already knew what it said.Pregnant, theword should have filled me with happiness.For seven years, I had dreamed of seeing that word written beside my name.

Chapter: FourChapter Four TWO MONTHS LATERAurora’S POVFor the past few days, I had not felt like myself.At first, I tried to ignore it because I had been under too much stress lately, and after everything that had happened with Roman, I thought my body was simply reacting to the pain and exhaustion I had been carrying around for months.But that morning, the strange feeling became impossible to ignore.I had barely stepped out of my room when a sudden wave of nausea hit me so hard that I stopped in the middle of the hallway, covering my mouth as my stomach twisted painfully.I hurried into the bathroom and barely made it to the sink before I started vomiting.My body shook as I held onto the edge of the sink, trying to catch my breath when it finally stopped, but the sickness left me weak and dizzy.I reached for the glass of water beside the sink, only to realize that someone was already standing beside me with a bowl filled with clean water.“Thank you…”I took it without looking at the pers

Chapter: ThreeCHAPTER THREEAurora’S POVI looked at Roman, hoping his reaction would somehow prove that I was wrong, but the look on his face only made the fear inside me worse.He was staring at Sebestian as though he had just seen a dead man walk through the door.Romanslowly stepped forward. “Who let you out, Sebestian?”Sebestian’s eyes moved to him. A faint, cold smile appeared on his lips. “So, my dear brother doesn’t want me out.”Roman’s jaw tightened. “Answer me.”“Why?” Sebestian tilted his head slightly. “Fraud, illegal transactions, and everything else you accused me of were enough to get me fourteen years in prison, weren’t they?”Roman’s face hardened. “You were convicted.”“And yet I’m standing here.” His voice remained calm, but something about it made the room feel colder. Sebestian took another step forward. “Go and ask the court why I was released.”Roman’s hands tightened at his sides. “You think being released changes anything?”“No.” Sebestian looked around the living room be
