BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN HEIR Chapter 12: Running Won't Save You
Jack POVThe moment I stepped into Lily’s room and saw the empty bed, my blood ran cold. My pulse roared in my ears as I yanked open the closet, then checked under the bed, even though I knew—I knew—she wasn’t here. My hands clenched into fists as I turned on my heel, breathing hard. The air in the house felt suffocating, thick with the remnants of Stella’s stupid audacity.She took my daughter. I watched her run like a chicken but I never knew she took my baby along with her. A roar ripped from my throat, sharp and furious, shattering the suffocating silence.“How dare she?” My voice boomed through the house, rage curling around my words like fire licking at dry wood. My hands slammed against the nearest wall, a framed picture crashing to the floor. The glass splintered into jagged shards—just like my patience.Had she forgotten her place? Or…Did she actually think that because Lily called her Mommy, that meant she was her mother? That she had any right—any right at all—to take w
BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN HEIR Chapter 11: Run, Stella,Run
Stella POVA scream ripped from my throat, sharp and raw, echoing through the now-silent house. My heart pounded like a drum against my ribs, the shattered glass glinting under the faint kitchen light. A bullet. A real bullet. Inches from where I’d been standing.I spun around, trembling, my gaze locking with Jack’s. But he wasn’t shocked. His face remained eerily calm, his eyes dark, calculating, as if he’d been expecting this—like it was nothing more than an inconvenience.“Jack,” I choked out, my voice shaky, “who was that? What the hell is going on?”But he didn’t answer. He didn’t flinch. He didn’t even look at me properly. Instead, he crumpled the note in his hand, his jaw tightening, and without another word, he turned and walked out of the kitchen, disappearing into his study, leaving me standing there—alone, terrified, and shaking.My breath came in shallow gasps, panic clawing at my chest. I couldn’t process it. The broken window, the bullet lodged in the wall, Jack’s cold i
BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN HEIR Chapter 10: A Bullet Between Us
Stella POVThe hours after leaving Jack’s office felt like a blur, a hollow stretch of time where my mind replayed the scene over and over again like a cruel, endless loop. His arms wrapped around her. His lips pressed against hers. The ease with which he’d held her, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.I felt like I was being cheated on but I constantly reminded myself of our relationship. “It’s just for the time being” I murmured to myself, trying to shake it off. I cleaned the kitchen, reorganized the cabinets, folded laundry that didn’t need folding—anything to keep my hands busy, to distract myself from the ache growing in my chest. But the more I tried to push it away, the harder it clung to me like a shadow I couldn’t outrun.You don’t belong here, Stella.His words echoed louder than the memory of the kiss. Maybe that’s what hurt the most—not the kiss itself, but the way he’d looked at me afterward, as if I was nothing more than an intruder in his carefully craft
BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN HEIR Chapter 9 : A Heart Torn In Two
Stella POVThe ride back was filled with an uneasy silence, despite Lily’s occasional humming in the backseat. I kept my eyes on the road, but my mind was racing. Tracy’s sudden reappearance had stirred something ugly inside me—a mix of fear, anger, and uncertainty. I wasn’t naïve. I knew she wouldn’t walk away so easily. And I knew I shouldn’t be bothered but I was. Jack sat in the passenger seat, his jaw tight, his fingers drumming against his knee. He hadn’t spoken much since we left the school, and the tension in the car was suffocating.Lily, oblivious to the storm brewing between us, kicked her feet happily. “Can we still get ice cream?” she asked, breaking the silence.Jack finally exhaled, turning to look at her. “Yeah, princess. Let’s get your favorite.”Her face lit up. “Strawberry with extra sprinkles!”Jack gave her a small smile, but his eyes flickered to me, dark and unreadable. He was still angry. Not just at Tracy—but at me, too.We pulled up to a small ice cream shop
BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN HEIR Chapter 8: A Mother's Place
Stella POVThe next morning arrived faster than I had anticipated, yet the weight of Jack’s words from the previous night lingered heavily in my mind. But no matter how much they stung, I couldn’t let Lily down. She needed someone—someone who cared enough to show up. And if Jack didn’t want me to fill that role, well, he’d just have to deal with it.I dressed carefully, opting for a simple yet elegant dress that wouldn’t draw too much attention but still made me feel confident. As I stood in front of the mirror, smoothing out the fabric, I couldn’t help but think about Lily’s hopeful eyes and the way she had clung to me at dinner. For her, I could endure Jack’s wrath a thousand times over.The school parking lot was buzzing with parents and children, the air filled with laughter and chatter. I stepped out of the car, my heels clicking against the pavement, and scanned the crowd for Lily. It didn’t take long to spot her.“Mummy!” Lily’s excited voice rang out as she spotted me from acr
BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN HEIR Chapter 7: A Place I Don't Belong
Stella POV Present day****** The quiet ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner was the only sound in the sprawling dining hall. My hands brushed against the pristine tablecloth, smoothing out invisible creases as my thoughts swirled in my mind. The chandelier above cast a warm golden glow, yet I felt anything but warm. My thoughts lingered on the letter tucked away in my drawer upstairs—the one from the hospital. I shook my head, willing myself to focus. This wasn’t the time to spiral. “Mrs. Norman,” Maria’s voice broke through my haze, calm yet clipped, as always. “Dinner is ready.” I nodded, forcing a polite smile. “Thank you, Maria.” Standing from the chair, I made my way to the dining room. The faint sound of giggles drew my attention to the far end of the table, where Lily sat in her usual spot, her head resting on her small hand as she doodled on the corner of her placemat. “Pumpkin!” I called softly, my tone light. Her face lit up at the sound of my voice. “Mummy
