Ofelia’s POV

By Friday evening, I had run out of excuses.

I tried work first.

I reminded my mother that the Hong Kong investors were still waiting for revised documents and that my new responsibilities at Blackwood Enterprises required more attention than before. Victoria waved the concern away and announced that Damien had already approved my absence.

Then I tried my freelance job.

She told me the countryside estate had excellent internet.

Finally, I suggested that Damien might prefe

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Four, Janet? We have four children?

    JanetThe steering wheel rattled under the white-knuckle clamp of my hands as I tore through the evening traffic, the city lights streaking across the windshield in frantic, blinding smears.“Janet, get here now... they found him.”Martha’s terrified sob still rang in my ears, sharp and deafening. My heart thrashed against my ribs like a caged beast. I didn't care about the speed limits, the red lights, or the damp chill of the autumn night. All I knew was that the fortress I had spent five agonizing years building had been breached from the inside out.My babies were in his territory.I slammed my brakes at the curb of Crawford Tower, leaving the tires screaming against the asphalt. Without even cutting the hazard lights, I shoved open the door and sprinted toward the revolving glass entrance, my coat flying open, the cold lobby draft slapping my face like ice water.I burst through the bronze double doors."Gavin! Grayson!" My voice broke, high and raw, echoing off the vaulted marbl

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   chapter 70

    Damien’s POV“Are you certain she isn’t pregnant?”The question stayed between us.For one second, I heard nothing beyond the quiet hum of the air conditioning and the distant movement of employees outside my office.Then I rejected it.“No.”Jax remained near the door.“No, you’re not certain?”“No, she is not pregnant.”“You answered quickly.”“Because the suggestion is ridiculous.”He glanced through the glass wall toward Ofelia.She sat at her desk eating another cracker, unaware that we were discussing the possibility of her carrying a child.My child.The thought entered my mind before I could stop it.I pushed it away.“She would have told me,” I said.Jax looked back at me.“Would she?”“Yes.”The certainty in my voice sounded stronger than I felt.Jax closed the office door again and leaned against it.“Why?”I frowned.“What do you mean?”“Why would she tell you?”“Because I would need to know.”“That is not the same as giving her a reason to trust you.”My patience tightene

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   chapter 69

    Damien’s POVThe small bottle rolled beneath the edge of Ofelia’s desk and stopped beside my shoe.She was still searching inside her handbag when I bent down and picked it up.The label faced inward against my palm. A folded pharmacy receipt had become trapped beneath the plastic wrapping, covering most of the printed words. All I could see clearly was the word vitamins and a list of nutrients in smaller letters.Ofelia looked up.The moment she saw the bottle in my hand, every trace of color disappeared from her face.“What is this?” I asked.She moved so quickly that her chair struck the desk behind her.“Give it to me.”I barely had time to straighten before she snatched the bottle from my fingers and pushed it into her handbag.Several employees glanced in our direction.Ofelia noticed and forced herself to lower her voice.“They’re personal.”Her reaction was far too strong for ordinary supplements.I looked at the bag she had already zipped closed.“I gathered that.”She bent t

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   chapter 68

    Ofelia’s POVPregnancy changed my routine before it changed my body.Every morning became a carefully planned performance.I began waking before my alarm so I could sit quietly on the edge of the bed and wait for the nausea to pass. Some mornings it came as a slow uneasiness. Other mornings, it arrived so suddenly that I barely reached the bathroom in time.I learned not to brush my teeth immediately after waking because the mint made everything worse.I learned that cold water was easier to tolerate than coffee.I learned that eating two plain crackers before standing could prevent the room from spinning.Most importantly, I learned how to hide.I kept a packet of crackers inside the top drawer of my desk at Blackwood Enterprises. I arrived earlier than everyone else, including Damien, so I could eat them slowly without anyone asking why.By the time the executive floor became busy, I had washed my face, applied makeup, and arranged my expression into something calm.No one needed to

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   chapter 67

    Victoria’s POVI arrived at Blackwood Enterprises shortly before ten with a folder of charity proposals under one arm and a headache already forming behind my eyes.The annual children’s foundation gala was less than six weeks away, and half the planning committee had somehow decided that sending emails counted as real work. The venue was reserved, the guest list was almost complete, and several major sponsors had confirmed their attendance, but the budget still needed Damien’s approval before we could sign the final contracts.I expected him to be difficult.Damien believed every number should justify its existence, and while I respected careful planning, he sometimes treated charitable events as though they were hostile business acquisitions.Still, I preferred arguing with him directly rather than waiting for another week of polite messages from his finance department.Ofelia looked up when I reached the executive floor.For one second, surprise crossed her face.Then something els

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 66

    Damien’s POV “At my freelance meeting.” Ofelia answered too quickly. She stood several feet inside the entrance hall with her sunglasses still covering her eyes and her handbag pressed tightly against her side. The coat she wore was too heavy for the weather, and a few loose strands of hair clung to her face as though she had been walking in the heat. I studied her carefully. “Across town?” I asked. Her body became still. “Mrs. Ford works with clients in different parts of the city.” “That wasn’t what I asked.” She removed her sunglasses slowly. Her eyes were tired. Not only tired. Frightened. The same fear I had seen in the kitchen, in the office restroom, and on the terrace remained hidden beneath the surface. It appeared each time I came too close to whatever secret she was carrying. “I told you where I was,” she said. “No. You gave me an explanation.” “What is the difference?” “One is true.” Her expression tightened. “You think I’m lying?”

    Ofelia’s POV It’s just a coincidence, I told myself as I followed Mom up the wide marble steps. Thousands of rich men own black luxury cars. They all look the same. Sleek, expensive, probably made in the same factory. My brain kept repeating it like a prayer. The car outside didn’t mean anything.

    Ofelia’s POVThe plane ride felt endless. I stared out the window at the clouds below, my two suitcases stuffed in the overhead bin and my heart heavy in my chest. Mom had booked the ticket and even paid for a car to pick me up from the airport. Part of me was grateful. The other part wouldn’t stop

    Ofelia’s POV Just like cinderella, I went back reality. I was standing in the center of my apartment thinking about my life when there was a knock on the door. I already knew who it was before I opened it. Mr. Ramirez, the landlord, stood there with his arms crossed, looking tired but firm. “Mis

    Ofelia’s POV It has been three days and that was all it took for my life to turn into a complete nightmare. I hadn’t eaten anything solid since the day Ethan left. Sleep came in short, broken pieces filled with dreams of empty closets and ringing phones. Every time my phone buzzed, it was another
