The sudden stillness in the aftermath of the brawl hung heavily in the air. Zachary, now on the ground nursing his injuries, wore a mix of defiance and surprise, while Andrew, his knuckles stained with the aftermath of the punch, struggled to maintain composure as he faced the repercussions of his actions.

Amid the tense tableau, Annabel, still recovering from the abrupt push, found her footing. Averting her gaze from the clash, she attempted to fade into the shadows, seeking refuge from the tumultuous confrontation.

Andrew’s mother, a silent witness to the drama, approached with a mixture of genuine concern and disapproval. Her gaze shifted between her son and ,Zachary on the ground, and the injured Annabel. The room, once filled with murmurs and distant melodies, now bore witness to the aftermath of an unexpected eruption of violence.

In the uneasy quiet, Zachary rose from the ground, wiping away the blood from his nose with a defiant smirk. “Guess you finally learned to thr

  • A baby for the billionaire brothers    Chapter 87

    Albert’s POV“This has to be a joke, right?” I said, laughing—but it was the kind of laugh that bordered on hysteria. My hands trembled slightly, fists clenched at my sides. The doctor didn’t flinch. He just sat there, calm, composed, as if he hadn’t just turned my world upside down.“I’m talking to you,” I snapped, my voice rising. “Tell me this is a joke!”He met my eyes, unfazed. “Trust me, I ran the tests more than once because the results confused me too. But I can’t lie to you, sir. There is no blood relation between you and your brother.”My heart dropped. I stood abruptly, the chair scraping against the floor. “You must think I’m a goddamn joke,” I muttered, storming out of the office without another word.I reached my car, jaw clenched and mind racing. My fingers found their way to my mouth—I bit down on a nail, something I hadn’t done since I was a kid. This couldn’t be real. It couldn’t.The drive home was a blur, my thoughts looping in chaotic spirals. By the time I walked

  • A baby for the billionaire brothers    Chapter 86

    Author’s POVMrs. Torres clenched her fists, her nails biting into her palms as she stared daggers at Annabel. The hatred brewing in her chest felt darker, more twisted than she’d ever let herself admit. Just the sight of that girl ignited something uncontrollable inside her.“It’s alright,” Mr. Torres said firmly, casting a warning glance at his children. “You two shouldn’t speak to your mother that way.”“I’ll talk to her,” he added, softer now. “Try to make her see reason.”Andrew scoffed and rolled his eyes, the sound laced with disbelief.“See reason?” he snapped. “Are you serious, Dad? She almost got Annabel and Albert killed, and your solution is to talk to her? She should be arrested!”Mrs. Torres’s eyes flew wide, her breath catching in her throat. Never in her life had she imagined hearing such words—from her own son. That he would go so far for a maid…“Andrew!” Mr. Torres growled, his voice cutting through the tension like a whip. “She’s your mother. You do not speak about

    Annabel’s POVI twirled in front of the mirror, smiling to myself. I loved this dress—it hugged all the right places and made me feel beautiful. I had a feeling Andrew would love it too.My heart fluttered as I thought about what had happened a few days ago. I’d told him I loved him—out loud. And I meant every word. I’d spent so long feeling unsure, confused… torn. But I wasn’t confused anymore. It was Andrew. It had always been him. I respected Albert, sure, but it wasn’t love.I stepped out of the dressing room, expecting to find Andrew waiting like he said he would.But he wasn’t there.I scanned the boutique, eyes flicking from one corner to another—until I saw them.Andrew and Esme. Together.Too close.She was practically draped over him, her hand on his chest, their faces inches apart.What the hell?“Andrew,” I called, my voice sharper than I intended as I stormed toward them.He immediately jerked away from her, stepping back like he’d been burned.“Anna… I—she… she fell into

    Albert’s POV“What do you mean you can’t get the driver?” I roared, fury tightening my chest. “What happened to the CCTV cameras in that area? Are you telling me they didn’t catch a damn thing?” My voice rose, thick with frustration.“That wasn’t an accident,” I snapped, gripping the edge of my desk. “I saw the bastard’s eyes before he rammed into my car—he meant to do it. So find him. And bring him to me.”They all kept their heads bowed, not daring to meet my gaze.“Yes, sir!” they echoed in unison.“Then get the fuck out of my office.”The moment the door shut behind them, I shoved a hand through my hair and leaned back in my chair, the tension in my jaw refusing to ease. That crash wasn’t random. Someone targeted us. But who the hell would want to—?The door creaked open again.Tracy stepped in, her signature smug smile already plastered on her face. What the hell does she want?“You look stressed,” she said sweetly, strolling over and dropping onto the sofa like she owned the pla

    “Annabel! No, no, no—baby, stay with me!” Albert’s voice cracked, raw and hoarse, as he ran alongside the hospital stretcher, his fingers tightly clasped around her blood-slicked hand. Her skin was cold. Too cold. The metallic scent of blood clung to him—hers, his, theirs—and it smeared his shirt, soaked through the sleeves, painted his shaking hands.Annabel’s eyes fluttered weakly beneath bruised lids, her lips trembling as she fought to keep them open.“I’m… I’m trying,” she whispered, barely audible. “Albert… our baby… Is our baby okay?”The world around him spun into a blur. Nurses yelled codes. Doctors barked instructions. Machines beeped and screeched. But all Albert could hear was her voice, so soft and scared, anchoring him to the worst moment of his life.“Yes,” he choked out, desperate to believe it himself. “Our baby’s going to be fine. You both are. Just hold on for me, please.”She gave the faintest nod before her head lolled slightly to the side. The doors of the operat

    Andrew’s POVWhy does Annabel look scared or something? I stepped into the room with a smile, hoping to lighten the mood, but it didn’t take long to sense the tension hanging in the air.“I think I should leave you guys for now,” Julie said with an awkward smile, eyes darting between Annabel and us. Something was definitely off. Something had happened.“You don’t have to leave, Julie. You can stay here with us,” Annabel replied, her voice just a touch too strained. That hesitation in her tone—yeah, I could tell. I knew exactly what this was about.Albert and I… we’d been at each other’s throats lately. Constant bickering, pointless tension. We agreed to stop, especially around Annabel. We couldn’t risk letting our drama affect her health.“No, Annabel. I need to attend to something, okay? I’ll see you later,” Julie said, offering a soft smile. She gave Albert and me a respectful nod before slipping out and gently closing the door behind her.Annabel sank onto the bed with a low sigh,
