Carrying the child of a CEO (English) Mall encounter
On one side, as Hero was driving to the mall to accompany Zayne, his thoughts were deep. He still couldn’t believe what he had witnessed last night—he saw firsthand how Claire defeated her enemies. “How did Claire do that?” Hero whispered to himself, replaying the events of last night in his mind. Hero was Zekiel’s primary “eyes” against those who wanted to bring him down—gangsters, mafia, or rival organizations. As Zekiel was the wealthiest businessman in the world, many wanted to take his position and all his money. Countless had tried to outsmart him in business, but none succeeded. The only solution they saw was to eliminate him. They knew Zekiel didn’t belong to any organization or group. What they didn’t know was that behind his massive company and prestigious name, Gray had trained operatives skilled in combat. Zekiel was one of them. Since childhood, his father had trained him to fight, knowing the day would come when enemies would rise against them—and he was ce

Claire couldn’t move from where she stood, her eyes fixed on her child. Hero, however, acted quickly and approached them, knowing there would be trouble—especially since she wasn’t disguised anymore. “Venice! Wow! Why are you dressed like that?! Where are you going?” Hero’s words made Claire glance at her, widening her eyes in disbelief. Claire couldn’t process it yet—she was still in shock. “U-uhh, well—“ “Tita-Mommy, you look so pretty! That outfit suits you!” Zayne said cheerfully, hugging her leg, which made Claire tremble. She had no idea what to do. Hero cursed under her breath again, seeing how lost Claire was. She stepped away for a moment and called Claire. Claire flinched when her phone rang. “J-just a sec, Zayne, I have a call,” she told the child, who nodded as Claire moved slightly away. “H-Hello?” she answered. “Pull yourself together, Claire! I can see your family from here! If they come over, it’s over for you! You need to get them out of here—now!” Hero

“What does this mean, Venice?” Louise asked Claire in confusion as they sat at the same table with Quinn, Timothy, Dylan, and Bea. Meanwhile, their other companions were seated at a different table. Fortunately, they had managed to convince the kids to separate from them, explaining that they had something important to discuss. Besides, Bianca had already returned to her usual self, so she and Zoey were now able to talk freely. “Why do they call you Claire? Why are your eyes gray? Why does Zayne look like the woman who’s supposedly your daughter?” Louise fired off all the questions swirling in his mind. He couldn’t understand how everything had changed so suddenly. Just a while ago, he had seen Claire in Zekiel’s office, and now, he was shocked by her sudden transformation. “Mr. Hunt—” “Shut up, Dylan! This isn’t business anymore,” Dylan fell silent after interrupting their conversation. “Louise, calm down. There’s no need to get mad at Dylan,” Claire said gently, notici

“What happened, Claire?” Timothy asked worriedly when he noticed the young woman fidgeting with her hands. He knew she only did that when she was anxious or guilty. Because of Timothy’s reaction, the others turned to look at them as well. “I’ll tell you later,” Claire nodded, waiting for their orders to be served first. “We must go to Paris tonight. Zekiel will find out everything if we don’t!” Everyone was shocked, especially Bea. “What?!” Bea said in disbelief, making Claire sigh and turn to her friend. “I’m so sorry, Bea. I’m planning to live in Paris for good.” “What? N-No,” Bea shook her head before taking a bite of her food. “B-Bea—” “Stop, Claire. I don’t want to talk about it,” Bea said calmly, making Dylan glance at her. They all knew Bea was pregnant, so they didn’t want to stress her out. Claire stayed silent. Claire wanted to cry—Bea’s disapproval of her decision hurt, but there was nothing she could do. They had to leave tonight. --- “WHAT?!” Zek

“WHAT do you mean, Hero?” Zekiel’s gaze snapped up to meet Hero’s. The man visibly swallowed under the weight of that predatory stare – it felt like Hero wanted to tear him apart with his eyes alone. “V-Venice isn’t in the country anymore, Kiel.” Hero didn’t even blink as two heavy objects from Zekiel’s desk went flying past his head – hurled at him with violent force. “What do you mean she’s not in the country?! Are you fucking with me?!” Zekiel’s roar made the walls tremble, his eyes burning with barely contained fury. “I’m telling you the truth. Venice is gone,” Hero maintained his calm despite the storm before him. “Impossible! She can’t just disappear on me!” The frustration in Zekiel’s voice cracked as he collapsed into his chair, fingers tearing through his own hair. “They left last—“ “Why didn’t you stop her?!” Zekiel’s interruption came like a gunshot. “How the hell would I know?! Do I look like I control Venice’s mind?! Do you think I have some tracking

CLAIRE “HELLO, Louise?” “Claire? Did you call? Did something happen?” I let out a sigh after Louise asked me that. I didn’t know if what I was about to do was right, but I had no choice but to go through with it. “Louise, can I ask you for a favor?” I closed my eyes as I said it, waiting for her response. “A favor? Of course, anything for you! What is it?” she asked. “Well, here’s the thing, Louise. I really need your help. Zekiel is coming to Paris, and he can’t find out my true identity. So I’m asking you to help me pretend to be your secretary—like you brought me here for work. That’s the reason I’m in Paris.” After I said that, there was silence on the other end of the line. I even checked my phone screen to see if the call had dropped. “Louise? Hello, are you still there?” “Ah, yes! Of course, Claire! Why not? I’d be happy to help you! I’ll come over right now.” Louise abruptly hung up before I could even thank her. Honestly, I was already feeling guilty becau

“Quinn, I thought I could handle it. I thought I could watch over Zayne from afar, but I was wrong. With each passing day, my conscience is eating me alive. I gave that child false hope that we’d see each other again, but the truth is, we won’t. Bea… Bea still hasn’t reached out to me, even now.” Suddenly, Quinn hugged me, and I froze in surprise. “I’m sorry, Claire. I didn’t consider how you were feeling. I was too consumed by my own emotions for Timothy. Forgive me for leaving you alone.” I hugged her back and cried. “E-Every day that passes, I’m losing hope, Quinn. And now, this seems like the only way to fix everything.” She pulled away from our embrace and looked at me in confusion. “What do you mean?” I took a deep breath before answering her question. “I’m ready, Quinn. I’m ready to tell Zekiel the truth. I don’t care if he gets angry at me—I just want to make things right. I’ve been hiding from the past for too long. I can’t do this anymore.” She hugged me again af

I couldn’t move from where I stood because of Zekiel’s presence in front of me. Yes, I had prepared myself to see him—but not this soon, and not in this situation. Why were they here already?! I glanced at Hero, who was also wide-eyed upon seeing me. I shut my eyes briefly, overwhelmed. My heart was pounding so hard I didn’t know what to say or do. It was as if I had been glued in place—even my tongue refused to work. “Mr. Gray, long time no see. Who would’ve thought we’d run into each other here in Paris? What a small world.” I heard Louise’s voice beside me. I wanted to stop her from speaking—her tone was dripping with teasing, and I feared what Zekiel might do to her—but I couldn’t move! “I’m not happy to see you, Hunt. You stole someone precious from me.” My eyes widened at Zekiel’s words. I saw the two of them locked in a tense stare, electricity crackling between them from the intensity of their gazes. “As I remember, I didn’t steal her, Mr. Gray. You fired her.” I

“We can finally get married now, right? And you can finally say yes to me, right?” Claire nodded while Zekiel smiled through his tears. The crowd erupted in cheers at the sight of them, especially since they immediately recognized Zekiel—one of the most renowned businessmen in the world. “Will you marry me, Princess Claire Fuentes?” “Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!” The people around them chanted loudly, making Claire’s family smile and even the twins join in. “Say yes! Say yes!” Claire slowly nodded, still crying. “Y-yes! Yes, absolutely, Zekiel!” Zekiel quickly slipped the ring onto her finger and stood to meet her gaze. He studied Claire’s face, wiping away her tears. “You don’t know how happy I am right now,” Zekiel said with a smile. “M-me too, Zekiel! I’m so happy! So, so happy!” Zekiel kissed Claire, making the crowd cheer even louder, some even screaming in excitement. They accepted whatever made their princess happy, and they accepted whoever she chose to m

“Now, I know what you’ve done for my sibling, and I accept you into our family,” Zekiel smiled at Clark’s words, and Clark hugged him briefly, patting his back. “I thought something had happened to you, my child! I was so scared that we rushed here without a proper plan,” Claire said tearfully. “That was the plan, Mommy—to completely defeat the enemy,” Zayne explained, furrowing his brows. “I let myself get captured on purpose, while I sent Zoey here to rescue you. There are no more enemies, Mommy. They’re all gone because Daddy made it up here, which means they’ve been defeated.” Claire couldn’t believe what Zayne was saying, her mind struggling to process it. “Your child is right, my love,” Claire turned to Zekiel at his words. “Zayne planned everything, which is why we were able to save you successfully.” Claire teared up and looked at her son. “Z-Zayne, thank you so much! You’re such a smart child!” She hugged Zayne, and the child hugged her back. “Daddy trusted me

“ON my cue,” Clark said seriously to their companions, as they were now scattered in the same place where he had been kidnapped before. They had discovered the enemy’s hideout thanks to Zoey. The child had mentioned that Zekiel found out its location, which was why he took her sibling. Zayne was right—they didn’t hesitate to storm the place, but the King and Zoey were left behind in the palace. “Go!” Clark shouted, and the sound of gunfire soon dominated the forest. Claire was fiercely exchanging fire with a group of enemies she encountered. The place had changed, and she was disoriented, but as soon as they entered, she and her brother were shocked when a net suddenly fell over them. “I’ve seen this before with Camille!” Claire yelled at her brother, recognizing it from the CCTV footage when Zekiel had captured them. “Louise and the rival Mafia are working together, so this must be their doing!” Clark replied, trying to break free, but the net was too strong. Moments la

“Oh my God, Zoey, it’s really you! I miss you, my daughter. Mommy misses you so much!” Claire showered her daughter’s cheeks with kisses, overwhelmed with longing. It had been almost two months since she had last held her child under Zekiel’s care. “I miss you too, Mommy!” “Zoey? Is this my grandchild?” The mother and daughter turned at the voice, and Zoey saw an elderly man wearing a crown—someone she recognized from TV, where she had seen him with her mother. “Grandpa!” Zoey immediately ran toward the King, who smiled warmly and scooped her up into his arms. In return, Zoey covered her grandfather’s face with kisses. “Wow, Grandpa, I can’t believe it’s really you! You’re the King? That’s so amazing!” Claire laughed, wiping tears from her cheeks as she watched them. “Haha, my dear, Grandpa’s getting tickled. That’s enough,” the King chuckled as the child finally stopped covering him in kisses and beamed up at him. “You’re so beautiful, my grandchild. You look just

“She’s terrifying!” Hero said. “That doesn’t seem like Zayne! He’s possessed by his father’s spirit!” Dylan exclaimed, earning a smack from Hero. “Damn! Bloodline really makes a difference! Look at him—Gray lineage, the sharpest in business, while Claire’s lineage carries noble blood and excels in combat!” The two fell silent when Zekiel shot them a glare, so they quietly followed him to the hideout. When they arrived, the child reached up to his father. “Daddy, can you trust me?” “Of course I trust you, son,” Zekiel said with a smile, pinching his nose. “Thank you, Dad. Now, here’s the plan...” “WE NEED to act now,” Clark said seriously. “Why does Claire have to come? Just your brother and I should go. Claire, you’re pregnant—you can’t,” the King insisted. They were in the main room, a day after the chaos had unfolded. They had released a statement claiming that a Mafia group had attempted to assassinate the princess and that they would fight back, urging the publ

“Are you okay, Claire?” Clark asked his sister worriedly as she drank something to calm herself. “I-I’m fine now, Kuya. I was just shocked by the sudden gunshot—I didn’t expect that,” Claire said, making Clark nod in response. “Me neither. It’s your day, Claire. But they did this on purpose to kill you. Thankfully, the shooter had bad aim and missed,” Clark replied. If this were any other situation and not so serious, Claire might have laughed at the thought of the shooter missing. But right now, her life was on the line. “What are you two talking about? What’s really going on?! I thought the Mafia was gone, Clark?!” They both turned to their father, having forgotten he was there—and that he had heard everything. “I-I’m sorry, Papa. I lied. I needed to keep your mind at ease after what happened to Mama, but the truth is… the Mafia isn’t gone. They’ve been lying low for a month, waiting for today—this is when they’re starting their war.” The King still couldn’t process wh

“No, YOU are being rude.” The man suddenly sat back down at her words, and the room fell silent. “May I remind all of you? We hired you to be the BALANCERS of this country, not the RULERS. WE are the rulers, and YOU are the balancers. So you have NO right to decide whether to accept me or my late mother as Princess and Queen of this country!” Claire held her head high as she spoke, leaving them speechless. Timothy grinned widely, almost clapping at his friend’s words. “I, the Princess of Spain, declare that the current council will be REPLACED with a new one!” Everyone stood up in protest, but Timothy acted swiftly, slamming his long gun on the table, silencing them. “The princess has given an order, so you MUST obey. Royal blood can make decisions without consulting the king.” Claire smiled as she saw the defeated looks on the men’s faces, then glanced at Timothy, who nodded back. Finally, she had avenged her mother. ’Mama, I know this is what you wanted. We miss you so

Breaking News: After a decade and a half of searching for the Queen and Princess of Spain, they have finally been found. Unfortunately, the Queen has passed away, and only the Princess, Princess Claire, has survived. Reports have also spread that the two royals had been staying in the Philippines, where they lived as ordinary citizens. --- Zekiel turned off the TV after seeing the news. A few days had passed since Timothy went with him to retrieve the body of the late Queen. He desperately wanted to see Claire, but he couldn’t—he had no right to ask about her. Especially now that she was known worldwide, with the strange circumstances surrounding her and her mother spreading everywhere. “Daddy!” He turned to the door and saw the twins running toward him. “Is there any news about Mommy yet?” Zoey asked with a hopeful smile. “Not yet, sweetheart,” Zekiel replied sadly. “Don’t worry, Daddy! Mommy will come back! Uncle Clark promised us!” Zoey said cheerfully. “Zoey’s ri

He was Timothy’s father and Kaithy’s husband. The right hand of the King, his own father. He was the one who taught them how to fight back then, so he could never forget the man—he had played such a huge part in his life. “I miss you so much, Tito!” She pulled away from the hug, and the man held her cheeks. “I couldn’t believe you’d grow up into such a beautiful lady.” Claire smiled even wider at his words. “Mama took good care of me, Tito.” The man’s smile faded at what she said. “I’m sorry about your mother.” “It’s okay, Tito. I’ve accepted it. It’s Papa I’m worried about.” Timothy’s father understood Tagalog but couldn’t speak it fluently since he didn’t grow up in the Philippines, unlike his wife and son, who had spent many years there. “I’ll go ahead now, Tito. I’ll see you later.” She smiled at him, and the man nodded. The news of the princess’s arrival spread quickly throughout the palace, and many wanted to catch a glimpse of her. Some even secretly positioned
