ALEX’S POV

Everyone at the Summit kept telling me how lucky I was. They were inspired by my success, even though I hadn’t made it early in life. Almost all the other businessmen wished they had my charisma. But what they didn’t know was that my life was a complete disaster behind the scenes. My son wouldn’t speak to me—probably wouldn’t even if it were the last thing he had to do before he died. Loyalty and love felt like distant concepts, slipping further away by the day. I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was only a matter of time before everything crumbled.

I had spotted Jayden at the Summit earlier and made a mental note to talk to him before heading back to my room. But catching him was about as achievable as scaling Mount Everest barefoot. After the meeting, I tried to make a beeline for him, but I was intercepted by a group of admirers, eager to discuss business deals and corporate nonsense.

By the time I escaped from their clutches, Jayden had vanished. No sign of him

  • BILLIONAIRES: Father or Son   Chapter Eighty-One

    ALEX’S POVI could feel Flora’s anger like a slap across my face. Damn it, she was hurt. I saw it...I saw how much I had just broken her. She tried her best to hide it, but I wasn’t blind.I knew I had shattered her… and God, I wanted to kill myself for that. I wanted to go after her. I wanted to tell her I didn’t mean a single thing I’d said or done tonight. But instead… I stood there like a damn fool, watching her walk away without looking back. My throat burned with all the words I should have said—Don’t go. Stay. Please. But my lips stayed sealed, locked behind the same damn pride that had always left me with nothing but regret.She was gone. And I… I was the one who pushed her. Was this a mistake I would regret for the rest of my life?I let out a long breath, dragging a hand down my face. God, I was such a coward. I could have stopped her. I could have grabbed her hand, pulled her back into my arms, and told her the damn truth. That the sight of her sitting there with him…Smil

    FLORA'S POV Jayden returned a moment later, carrying something in his hands. A sketchbook. My breath hitched so hard, I felt like my lungs forgot how to work. My hands flew to my mouth as my eyes locked onto the worn, familiar leather cover. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t speak. I just stared, frozen in place. I thought I had lost it forever. “My God… That’s— That’s my...” He nodded, stepping closer, the sketchbook cradled in his palms like something sacred. “Your sketchbook.” “I—where did you—?” My voice cracked, barely coming out. Jayden sat beside me and gently laid the sketchbook on the table me. “Melissa had it,” he said, his eyes meeting mine. “She didn’t work alone either. There’s a woman… Ms. Anderson. She works at Bennett’s fashion company. They stole it… together. She gave it to Melissa, who tried to sell your designs and make sure your debut flopped. It turned out that they wanted to sell it and make someone else accuse you of stealing their designs at the fashion wee

  • BILLIONAIRES: Father or Son   Chapter Seventy-Nine

    FLORA’S POV Alex left and didn’t return the entire day, leaving me alone to entertain Jayden. Or maybe, to face the chaos going on in my own mind. I had never seen Alex so uneasy, so off-balance, as I did this morning. He had always been the embodiment of control, sharp suits, unreadable expressions, power, and always ten steps ahead. But today, he looked like a man standing on thin ice, waiting for it to crack. His entire aura shifted the moment Jayden showed up. And it made me pity him. I didn’t know what I was feeling; maybe sadness, maybe guilt, maybe something else I didn’t have the language for. It was all tangled. One second, I felt nothing, and the next, it was everything at once. Anger. Shame. Jealousy. Confusion. Jayden’s arrival complicated everything. A few weeks ago, I might have basked in the drama of it all, maybe even felt vindicated. But now, all I saw was a boy broken, humbled, and so clearly lost. Things were about to get a lot messier. That much was clear. And f

  • BILLIONAIRES: Father or Son   Chapter Seventy-Eight

    ALEX’S POVDave’s house always looked like a never-ending scene from a frat-boy movie: loud music, too much sun, and always women in bikinis. Today was no different. He was in the pool with three blonde bombshells when I arrived. He always liked them blonde. His personal brand, I guess. I walked over and planted my fists on my hips, shaking my head.“Hey, buddy!” he called out, raising his drink with a grin. “Come join us! Give those CEO muscles a break, you look like you need it!”I exhaled sharply. “Tempting, but I’ll pass,” I muttered.Dave turned back to whisper something to the women beside him, probably something ridiculous. I didn’t wait. I turned on my heel and walked toward the house. I wasn’t in the mood for poolside comedy or small talk. Minutes later, he strolled into the kitchen, wrapped in a towel. He took one look at me, and without asking a single question, poured me a drink.“You good?” he finally asked, eyeing me.“What do you think?” I said through clenched teeth.H

    ALEX’S POVThe silence that followed was so thick, it practically smothered the room. You could hear a pin drop. Jayden’s eyes darted between me and Flora, uncertainty all over his face. I stood there, dumbfounded. And Flora’s eyes had gone wide like someone had just dropped a live bomb in front of her.“It’s... It’s okay if you can’t let me stay,” Jayden said quickly, his voice faltering. “I mean, you don’t owe me anything… and I—”“Of course, you can stay here,” I cut in, probably too fast.He gave me a look. Skeptical. Like he didn’t believe me. Then his eyes flicked to Flora, like he was checking her reaction too. I couldn’t blame him. But seriously, how could I say no? What kind of father would I be if I turned him away, especially after years of waiting, hoping, and silently begging for a chance like this? Now, he stood here in my living room, shoulders slightly hunched, eyes heavy with something that looked a lot like shame. My son. A grown man now, bruised in ways I recognized

    FLORA’S POVOne minute, I was warm and tangled in Alex’s arms, and my body was still humming from the intimacy we had just shared. The next, I was flying through the air. A startled yelp escaped my lips as I landed on the bed with a soft thud. I blinked up at him, completely disoriented.“What the hell, Alex?”“Put something on,” he ordered, already scrambling for his own clothes.I propped myself up on my elbows, watching him with furrowed brows as he pulled on a fresh pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt in record time. He moved like a man preparing for battle.“Why? What’s happening?”He only spared me a glance. “Jayden’s outside. Right now. Standing in front of the gate.”I froze and my stomach flipped. Jayden? Here?Alex was already reaching for his phone to open the gate remotely, leaving me scrambling to process what was happening. A knot of unease formed in my gut as I quickly grabbed my discarded T-shirt from the floor and pulled it over my head. I found my pair of shorts, yanking
