Deceiving The Billionaire 18. Secret.
It had been fifteen years since Julia and Jillian last stood face to face.They were just teenagers then—when Jillian had begged her twin sister to defend her before Valeria, hoping their mother would take her back. But instead of helping, Julia—along with their mother—had turned her away.Who wouldn't hold a grudge after being cast out into the streets like that?Jillian wasn’t a saint. Of course she carried bitterness in her heart.And yet, if she had truly believed in the saying "You reap what you sow," maybe she shouldn’t have sown resentment at all—because this, right now, was exactly what she was reaping.“You’ve got some nerve coming back here.” Julia's voice was laced with venom.Facing her twin now, Jillian was struck by how different they actually looked.‘How did I ever convince Sake that I was her?’“I’m not the one starting anything, Julia. Why don’t you ask Sake?” she shot back.She knew she’d wronged her sister. She admitted that. She’d agreed to impersonate Julia for a

"G-Good morning, Sake." Jillian greeted hesitantly as he walked in. "I’m sorry for touching things in the kitchen. I just didn’t want Shawn to go hungry.""It’s fine," he replied flatly, his voice devoid of emotion. "I’ll feed him.""Daddy!" Shawn exclaimed joyfully, wrapping his small arms around Sake like he had always known him. Jillian felt a pang in her chest. She wanted to be angry at her son. Why was he like this? Was she not enough for him?"Sure," she murmured, her voice tight. "I’ll just watch you two.""No. Leave us," Sake said curtly.Jillian wanted to protest, but Lora gently took her by the arm and led her away."Let them be," she said calmly."What is he trying to do, Mama? Win my child’s heart and take him away from me?" Jillian couldn’t hold back the bitterness in her voice."It’s not like that... I truly believe he just wants to be a father to Shawn. You’re his mother—Sake knows that. He’ll respect it.""I hope so... I won’t survive if he takes Shawn away from me, Ma

Sake felt like his chest was about to explode as he watched his son and the woman he once loved.Jillian was feeding Shawn, occasionally warning the boy that she would take away the toy airplane in his hand if he didn’t eat properly. Four years—he had lost four years of being a father to his son. And no matter how hard he tried to convince himself otherwise, the pain just wouldn’t go away.“Shawn is your carbon copy, Sake,” came the gentle voice of his mother, Lora, who had somehow approached without him noticing.Still overwhelmed and unable to think clearly, he had called her earlier to tell her everything he had just discovered. He was glad she had come as quickly as she could. He needed support—someone who would understand. He still didn’t know what to do about Jillian… but about Shawn, he was sure. He wasn’t going to let him go. Not again.He never imagined he would get to see the child he once believed had died. There was no pain more unbearable than losing a child you never eve

They landed in the backyard of their old house. She immediately recognized the wide, open space—an area she never once stepped into before. She had always wanted to turn it into a garden, but back then, she learned that Julia had plans for it, so she left it alone."I thought you wanted to see our son?" Sake called out to her, glancing back after walking a few meters ahead.She remained rooted in place. She couldn't move. That house held far too many memories. It was once a place of joy, but also the setting of her deepest heartbreak.It was where she lost Sake—and their other child.More than that, it was Sake and Julia's bridal home. Her sister could be inside. She wasn’t ready—not for another confrontation.“I-Is he inside?” she asked softly. She didn’t understand how Sake managed to bring Shawn there so quickly. Did he use another helicopter?“It’s his house, Jillian. Of course, he’s inside…”“I can wait out here,” she replied quickly, which made Sake frown even deeper. “W-we’ll l
Deceiving The Billionaire 14. Present time.
Jillian didn’t know what to do as she anxiously watched Sake pacing in front of her. What could he be thinking?They were inside his private office in the mall. It was ironic—she and Shawn had been visiting that place every week, yet she never had the slightest idea that she would end up seeing Shawn’s father there again. This wasn’t even a new establishment, and she knew full well that Sake’s family wasn’t in the mall business. So what was he doing there?She had already walked away from his life. So why fate had brought them together again, she couldn’t understand.She was okay now. She and Shawn were doing just fine. So why did this have to happen? Why did he have to find out the truth—that she was alive, and they had a son?Just like before—just like when they parted ways—she wasn't prepared to see him again.“I still can’t believe this!” Sake said, his voice a mixture of shock and fury. He looked completely stunned.“For almost five years, I mourn your death—our child’s death. An
Deceiving The Billionaire 13. Betrayal.
“HEY…”She woke to Sake’s gentle kiss on her eyelids.“Good morning, Mrs. Fortalejo,” he greeted with a boyish smile.“Good morning.” She smiled back. She had missed waking up to his face.“Why did you wake up so early?” she asked, noticing the sunlight streaming through the blinds.“It’s not early.” He chuckled. “It’s nine in the morning, love.”“Huh?” She blinked, noticing how bright the room was. He was already dressed in a gray t-shirt and denim shorts. “I’m sorry. Do you have somewhere to be?” She started to sit up but realized she wasn’t even dressed yet.“It’s okay. I planned to spend the day with you… to make up for lost time.” He teased, handing her the robe. “But I need to feed you first, so you have energy.”“You’re such a tease,” she said with a grin.“So, what’s the surprise? I think I’m ready for it,” he said, reminding her of the gift she hadn’t shown him.“Oh…” Excitement lit her face. “I’m gonna go get it.” She slipped on the robe and walked into the bathroom.What wo
Deceiving The Billionaire 12. Pregnant.
"IT'S positive. You're pregnant, Julia. Congratulations!"It had been a day since she heard the news, but the smile still hadn't left Jillian’s lips. She felt like she’d won the lottery. Just knowing she was pregnant gave her a sense of purpose she never imagined possible. Her mind was already buzzing with plans for her baby.Finally, she would have a family of her own. She would love her child with everything she had, and she would make sure that child loved her back—never abandoning her like the others had.“Sake will be so happy when he finds out the good news. My boy’s going to be a dad! How exciting!” Nanny Pasing beamed with joy.But Jillian's smile slowly faded. The old woman was right—Sake would be thrilled. And she wanted so badly to witness the look on his face when he found out. She longed to share this beautiful blessing with her husband.And yet, fear crept into her chest. What if, upon discovering that she wasn't Julia, Sake tried to take the baby from her? That thought
Deceiving The Billionaire 11. Sick.
There was still no improvement in Julia’s condition. That was the update Victoria gave her a week after Valeria found out that her favorite daughter was still in the hospital.“The doctor said they really can’t tell when she’ll wake up,” Victoria told her with a heavy sigh.“Please let me know the moment she shows any signs of waking,” Jillian asked honestly. “I want to prepare myself.”“Of course,” Victoria said, gently clasping her hands. “I’m sorry for dragging you into this mess.”“We’re already in this. There’s no turning back now.”It was a small relief that Sake’s return to the country had been delayed. What was supposed to be a three-day trip abroad had already stretched to a week. She missed having him around the house, but this was better.At least it gave her some space—space where she wasn’t constantly reminded of the betrayal. Space where she wasn’t forced to lie to his face.She knew Julia would never forgive her once she found out she had married Sake. Her twin would ha
Deceiving The Billionaire 10. Real concern.
"Are you really sure you don’t want to come with me?"They were already at the airport, but Sake still refused to let go of her. He had a three-day business conference abroad—his first trip away since their wedding."Honey, if you don’t let go now, you’ll miss your flight," Jillian said with a laugh.Four weeks into their marriage, and everything between them was nearly perfect. Nearly—because no matter how happy, how intimate, or how sweet things were between them, it didn’t change the fact that behind their almost-perfect relationship was a lie that pierced Jillian’s heart every single day.Sake was a wonderful husband. If only she really were Julia, Jillian wouldn’t have anything more to ask for. And maybe to make up for her deceit, she tried her best to fulfill the role of his wife as perfectly as she could.Sake would often say how lucky he was to have her. And every time he did, her guilt grew even heavier. If only he knew he had been living a lie ever since he came back from ab
