Ava’s POV

I barely slept.

Every time I closed my eyes, I felt Liam’s mouth on mine again, hot, demanding, impossible to forget.

And every time I opened my eyes, dread sat heavy in my stomach because I had no idea what that kiss meant… or what he expected next.

So as I walked into Reynolds Holdings, Brooklyn branch, I inhaled deeply, squared my shoulders, and prayed I had enough self-control to pretend my life wasn’t falling apart in slow motion.

Of course, Elena and Stacy took one look at me an

  • CLAIMED BY THE BILLIONAIRE    CHAPTER 84

    Margaret's Pov I sat quietly in my private sitting room, staring through the large windows as the city lights flickered in the distance.My fingers rested against the arm of the chair as I thought about Ava Morales.That woman had already caused enough trouble.She had lied to Liam. She had kept his son from him for six years. And yet, somehow, she was still standing. Still working at Reynolds Holdings, still living her life, still finding ways to remain close to my grandson.I narrowed my eyes.I had tried to separate them before. Warnings hadn't worked, pressure hadn't worked. Even Liam's anger hadn't been enough to completely erase her from his heart.If Ava remained in New York, there was always a possibility that Liam would eventually forgive her.And I couldn't allow that.I reached for my phone and made a call.It rang twice before someone answered.“Mrs Reynolds.”“I need you to handle something for me.”There was a brief silence.“What do you need?”“Ava Morales needs to le

  • CLAIMED BY THE BILLIONAIRE    CHAPTER 83

    Ava's Pov I couldn't stop thinking about it.My name had been among the employees being considered. Mr. Torres had just confirmed it himself.So how did it suddenly disappear?I walked back to my desk, but I couldn't bring myself to sit down.Elena and Stacy were still talking about the announcement, but I barely heard them.My mind had already made its decision.I needed to speak to Liam.I knew he had the final authority over the executive department. And whether I liked it or not, I needed to know if he was responsible for this.I took a deep breath and headed toward the elevators.Elena noticed me.“Where are you going?”“I need to talk to someone.”“About the list?”I nodded.She looked worried.“Do you want us to come with you?”“No.” I gave her a small smile. “I'll be fine.”I stepped into the elevator before either of them could say anything else.As the doors closed, I leaned against the wall and exhaled slowly.I didn't know what I was expecting.An explanation? An apology?

  • CLAIMED BY THE BILLIONAIRE    CHAPTER 82

    Ava's Pov The soft sound of my alarm pulled me out of sleep.I reached for my phone on the nightstand and turned it off before slowly sitting up in bed.For a few seconds, I just stared ahead.My mind was already filled with everything that had been happening lately.Liam, the threats, Damien, Sebastian and the anonymous messages that Dr Miranda refused to stop.I rubbed my face and forced myself to push all of it aside.I had work and more importantly, I had Damien.I got out of bed, took a quick shower, and got dressed for work. By the time I came out of my room, Damien was already awake and sitting at the dining table, eating his breakfast. Isa has left already.He looked up the moment he saw me.“Mommy.”I smiled, “Good morning, baby.”“Good morning.”I walked over and kissed his forehead before sitting beside him.He continued eating for a few seconds before suddenly looking at me.“Mommy?”“Yes?”“Can you take me to school today?”I paused.It had been a long time since I perso

  • CLAIMED BY THE BILLIONAIRE    CHAPTER 81

    Liam’s POVThe first thing I heard when I opened my eyes was the faint sound of the television coming from the living room.For a moment, I forgot where I was. Then I remembered.Adrian's penthouse.I sat up slowly, rubbing my face. My body felt better than it had in days. Maybe sleeping somewhere that wasn't my own house had actually helped.I met a suit on one of the chair in the room. I had my bath, got dressed and walked into the living room.Adrian was already there, drinking coffee.“You're alive,” he said.I gave him a tired look.“Unfortunately.”He laughed. “Coffee?”“Please.”He handed me a cup.I took a sip.“Thanks for letting me stay.”“You're welcome. Though next time, try calling before invading my home.”“I knew the password.”“That isn't the point.”I smiled.We exchanged a few more words before I left.But the moment I got into my car, the calm I'd felt disappeared.My mind went straight back to Ava. I remembered seeing her with Sebastian.Then I remembered the kiss,

  • CLAIMED BY THE BILLIONAIRE    CHAPTER 80

    Liam’s POVI stayed outside Ava's apartment for several minutes, watching from inside my car.Sebastian helped her with the shopping bags before handing her one particular bag.Ava opened it and looked inside. Her expression softened.I didn't need to ask what it was.A for Damien.My jaw tightened.He was already buying things for my son.Sebastian said something to her, and she smiled.Something inside me burned. I tightened my grip around the steering wheel.For one second, I wanted to get out. I wanted to walk over there and tell him to stay the hell away from her.But I stopped myself.Ava wasn't mine anymore. I was the one who had ended things.So what right did I have?I watched Sebastian leave and Ava disappeared into the building.Yet I remained there.I couldn't explain why seeing her with him hurt this much.I started the engine. I didn't want to go home.I needed somewhere else to be.And there was only one person I could think of.Adrian.It was almost an hour later when

    Ava’s POVBy the time I finished work, I was already exhausted.I stepped out of Reynolds Holdings and immediately spotted Sebastian waiting beside his car.He smiled when he saw me.“Good evening, Ava.”“Good evening, Sebastian.”I walked toward him and got into the passenger seat.He got in after me, and soon the car pulled away from the company.I looked at him.“So, where are we going?”He glanced at me with a small smile.“To dinner.”“Dinner where?”“You'll see.”I raised an eyebrow.“That sounds suspicious.”He laughed.“I promise you, you'll like it.”I looked down at my clothes. I was wearing a simple pair of trousers and a blouse.Sebastian glanced at me too.“Actually, before we go to the restaurant, we're stopping at a shopping mall.”“Why?”“Because you need a dress.”I looked at him in confusion.“A dress?”“Yes. The restaurant we're going to is very exclusive. I don't think your current outfit is suitable.”I looked at myself again.“I think I'm dressed fine.”“You are,

    Ava’s POVThe pain tore through me again, sharp and merciless. I clutched the sheets, sweat dripping down my forehead. Isa’s hand gripped mine tight, her lips pressed together as though she could take my pain if she held on hard enough.“Push, Ava,” Dr. Miranda ordered, her voice clipped and profes

    Ava’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear for the fifth time. My reflection stared back at me, pale and tense. The blouse I chose felt too tight, my skirt too formal, my hands trembling slightly as I clutched my bag.“Mom,” I said, my voice breaking slightly,

    The sun was bright when Damien and I reached the park. He held my hand until we stepped onto the grass, then he let go and ran ahead, full of energy. His laugh carried through the air as he darted toward the swings, then the slide, and then the sandbox. I kept my eyes on him, sitting down on a benc

    Liam’s POVDinner was quiet at first. Diana pushed her fork around the plate, not really eating. I tried to lighten the mood, asking about school, her drawings, her favorite book. She gave small answers, distracted.Finally, she put the fork down and looked at me.“Daddy,” she said softly. “Can I a
