Belle's heart skipped a beat as the knock boomed through the quiet house. Her breath froze in her throat and her body tightened. The day had already been weighty with unsaid dread; but, this... this felt different.

Her hand floated over the door doorknob as she paused. At this hour, who could it be? She had hoped, fervently prayed, that they were safe. Deep down, though, she knew better.

She made herself open the door with a soft sigh. There, on her porch, was a face she hadn't seen in years.

    "It's done," she said softly, her eyes on the building that was falling apart. "The empire he built is now in ruins." Theodore's jaw tightened. His dark gaze never left the inferno. "Not all of it." Some snakes always withstand fire.” Belle's fingers gripped his sleeve tightly. "You sound like your dad." Alistair turned, his voice rough yet steady. "He's right." A win doesn't mean peace. The next battle is on hold. Theodore gazed at him with a mix of respect and anger on his face. "Then we'll be all set. We have shown it. Alistair looked at his son, and his lips twitched with pride. "You sound like a Kensington now." Belle let out a breath and shivered a little as the sirens got louder in the distance. "Then may God give us one night to catch our breath. "Just one." The family grew silent as they watched sparks float up into the sky like stars that were dying. Their empire had made it through the night, but it had cost them a lot. Alistair moved and took a handkerchief out of

  • Claiming the billionaire ceo genius baby   Chapter 119 – The Hunt for Michael

    The morning's front papers all carried the same headline: Michael Richards is missing. Alistair's cane hit the marble floor of Kensington Tower's strategy room in a furious beat. Around him, businessmen muttered in fear, and their shiny shoes squeaked like scared kids. "He didn't just disappear," Theodore said quietly, his gaze glued to the news broadcast. "He brought his whole guard with him. "Mercenaries and ex-military people are trained killers." Belle, who was pale but had piercing eyes, put down the newspaper. "Men like Michael don't run." They get ready. He's getting the pitch ready. Gabrielle's voice was gentle yet had an edge to it. "So we get him out of the way before he buries us alive." Alistair leaned on the table and let out a deep roar. "And when he comes back up, I'll break him myself." A courier raced in, out of breath, holding a black packet sealed with red wax. "Sir... It's for you. Alistair ripped it open. The note inside was short and penned in Michael's us

    "They no longer wait for kings." Alistair's voice reached his son's ear. They want one now. Belle's hand was lightly resting on Theodore's arm. "They don't need crowns; they need truth." If you talk, they'll see you. Theodore took a deep breath and looked around at the busy crowd. "What if I mess up?" Belle's lips curled, not very much but with a lot of force. "Then you lose your honesty. They'll let that go. They won't pardon quiet. The door behind them opened with a hiss. A rush of advisors pushed forward, their voices sounding like buzzing flies. "Mr. Kensington, the stage is set. The microphones are on. "The crowd is getting impatient." Theodore's jaw got tight. "I never asked for this stage," he mumbled to himself. Alistair hit the marble tile with his cane hard enough to break it. "No man ever asks." He grabs it, or he gets crushed by it. The bodyguards pushed aside protesters who were rushing towards the barricades to make a path. People reached out and tried to grab him

    "Stop pretending. He hit the floor with the cane. I want a vote of no confidence. People who are devoted to Michael Richards must quit right away. Gasping sounds echoed through the room. Suits moved around uncomfortably, and pens scratched nervously on legal pads. A round man with slicked hair jumped to his feet. "This is crazy! Richards has a lot of shares. "Shares bought with poison," Alistair said angrily. His voice was like thunder, and it scared the younger guys who had thought he was weak. Theodore's jaw tensed as he looked around the table. "Then show us we're wrong. Stand by what you've done. Or sit down. Another director stood next to the previous one. He was tall and thin, and his long fingers were wrapped around a leather bag. His eyes moved quickly to the exits, like a rat in a corner. Belle's eyes narrowed. "What's in that box?" The thin man laughed. "Nothing you need to see." Alistair's cane looked like a sword pointing at him. "Then let it out. Let's all make a

    "Stop this circus," she said, her voice cutting over the smoke and whispers. Michael's eyes turned to her, and a chilly smile spread across his lips. "You have the nerve to come into my house without an invitation?" Gabrielle shot back, "It was never yours." She threw the bag on the table, and documents fell out like a deluge of terrible truth. Every line of the contracts, transactions, and offshore accounts was signed by her father. Directors stood up and craned their necks. One hoarsely hissed, "These are Richards' accounts." Michael's sneer got tighter. "Fake." Gabrielle responded, "No," her breath harsh. "These show that you paid off board members, hired killers, and stole subsidiaries." Her voice broke, but she didn't give up. "Every betrayal of this family... leads back to you." Alistair leaned forward, tired but still alert, gripping the cane tightly. "God help you, Richards." Michael's tranquilly was broken, and he jumped to his feet. "Enough!" His fist hit the table ha

    "The doctors told him not to." "God Almighty," one director whispered. Michael Richards stood up with fake politeness, his lips twitching. "Alistair. I thought you finally knew when to keep hidden. When Alistair's cane hit the floor, it made a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot. He straightened up taller, and his eyes looked like they were on fire. "The Kensington name does not fall." A quiet came over the table. Theodore sat still at the other end and tightened his jaw. His father's refusal to back down made him feel something deep inside, a mix of pride and fear. Michael made a face. "Bluster from a man who is dying." Alistair moved forward, and the cane made a noise against the marble. "Better to die standing than to crawl under thieves." This board won't give in to a usurper who buys loyalty with blood-stained money. The directors looked at one other, worried about the poison that was flowing between the titans. Theodore leaned down close to Belle, who was pale but aler

    "She's stable for now," the doctor stated gently, meeting his gaze. The bullet wound is serious, though. She has bled a great deal. The larger issue, then, is her pregnancy. Alistair's gaze grew wide. The infant? The word strange, his voice breaking, like if it didn't belong to him. The doctor sh

    Alistair, you ought never to have kissed her. With narrowed eyes and a deadly smile curling her lips, Evangeline stood at the threshold. Her voice clearly carried malice, and the strain between them was strong enough to cut right through. When Belle saw Evangeline, her stomach turned like a sharp

    "Belle," he said, his voice low and silky. It has been far too long. She battled to keep her calm and swallowed. "What are you doing here, Bernard? " Her voice came out more steadily than she had anticipated, but as it swept a lock of hair off her face, her hand trembled. Bernard's lips curved in

    She said, "Alistair...," her voice almost audible over the storm. Her heart hammered in her chest, each instinct urging her to approach and submit. He answered no. His breath was a languid caress across her skin, his body so near she could feel the heat emanating from him. Closing her eyes, she go
