ELENA

“Elena? Can you hear me?”

Edward’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts and back into reality. But instead of answering, my trembling fingers pressed the button to end the call. The phone screen went dark again, yet Edward’s question continued to echo in my ears.

Boy… or girl?

I stood frozen at the end of the hospital corridor, my breaths coming short and shallow. The tears I had struggled to hold back began spilling down my cheeks again. People passed by, some of them glancing in my direct

    ELENA“Elena? Can you hear me?”Edward’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts and back into reality. But instead of answering, my trembling fingers pressed the button to end the call. The phone screen went dark again, yet Edward’s question continued to echo in my ears.Boy… or girl?I stood frozen at the end of the hospital corridor, my breaths coming short and shallow. The tears I had struggled to hold back began spilling down my cheeks again. People passed by, some of them glancing in my direction, but I barely noticed. All I wanted was to get out of this place as quickly as possible.With unsteady steps, I left the building and climbed into the first taxi I saw.Throughout the ride, I stared out the window without really seeing anything. One word kept circling endlessly in my mind.If the baby is a girl, it means I’ll be thrown out of the Ashford family.As soon as I arrived at the mansion, I went straight to my room. I locked the door from the inside and sank onto the edge of the be

  • Mr. Billionaire, Your Heir Isn’t Yours!   [77] No Place to Run (2)

    ELENAThree weeks had passed since that night.Lilian had finally been discharged from the hospital. Her condition had improved for a while, but the doctors still reminded us that she needed a heart donor. I couldn’t calmly stay by her side through the search for a donor. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to, but because everything felt impossible. Besides not wanting to trouble Cedric any further, I was also painfully aware that my relationship with Edward had grown colder—right up to this very moment.Meanwhile, my connection with Cedric had started to strain. Not because I no longer wanted it, but because Edward’s threat still echoed clearly in my mind. I was afraid. Afraid that one wrong step would drag Cedric into even greater ruin.This morning, I sat in the waiting room of the obstetrics clinic with my hands tightly clasped in my lap. The ultrasound appointment had been scheduled since last week. Dr. Lucy had said that today the baby’s gender would most likely be visible.A few m

    ELENAMy cheek was burning. I hadn’t even processed what was happening when a sharp stinging pain spread across the side of my face. My body staggered, my knees gave out, and before I realized it, I was already on the floor. My ears rang. My breath came in short gasps.I slowly lifted my face, still half in disbelief. Edward stood in the doorway, his jaw tight and his eyes ice-cold. There was no other emotion except restrained fury.“You shameless bitch,” he said in a low voice, yet every word cut deep. “So you dare ignore my message, huh?”I pressed a hand to my still-throbbing cheek. Tears welled up immediately—not only from the pain, but from the way he looked at me, as if I weren’t his wife but something disgusting.“Edward…” My voice cracked. “I—”“Shut your mouth.”He stepped inside and closed the door behind him with deliberate slowness. The soft click of the lock was quiet, yet it was enough to make my entire body tense. Now it was just the two of us in the room. And from the

    ELENAA loud noise suddenly shattered the silence.The sharp clang of metal being kicked and skidding far away made both Cedric and me jolt. I immediately pulled my shirt down, covering my still-exposed chest, while Cedric straightened up quickly. Our breathing was still uneven, but now it was mixed with a different kind of tension.I turned to look out the window, eyes scanning the dark parking lot. Cedric did the same, his jaw tightening.“What was that?” I whispered, my voice still hoarse.Cedric didn’t answer right away. He narrowed his eyes toward the row of plants and the parking pillars, as if trying to catch any movement.“A bottle,” he muttered at last. “Someone kicked a bottle.”My heart pounded harder. I swallowed, fingers gripping the edge of the seat.“What if…” my voice came out soft, almost inaudible, “someone saw us?”Cedric turned to look at me. His eyes were dark under the dim parking lights. He didn’t immediately reassure me, and that only made the tightness in my c

  • Mr. Billionaire, Your Heir Isn’t Yours!   [74] Behind My Back

    EDWARDI walked back into the hospital corridor with steps that were still tense. The argument I’d just had with Elena in the parking lot kept replaying in my head. That woman truly had no sense of shame. Bringing her family problems to my younger brother, letting Cedric get involved, as if I weren’t enough.I exhaled harshly, about to head toward the waiting area, when a nurse stepped out of one of the rooms on the right and stopped me.“Excuse me, sir…” The nurse looked at me hesitantly. “Are you Mrs. Lilian’s son?”I frowned. “No. I’m her son-in-law.”The nurse’s expression eased slightly. “Oh, I see. I’ve been looking for her family. Mrs. Lilian just regained consciousness, sir. She’s a bit restless and keeps asking for her daughter. She said she wants to see her child.”I fell silent for a moment. I remembered leaving Elena alone in the parking lot. She was probably still crying like a fool right now.“Or perhaps you’d like to visit Mrs. Lilian in her daughter’s place?” the nurse

  • Mr. Billionaire, Your Heir Isn’t Yours!   [73] Cry for Me

    CEDRICThe kiss hadn’t stopped.I tilted my head deeper, my tongue slipping inside to meet hers. Elena flinched slightly at first, but she didn’t pull away. Instead, she kissed me back, even if her movements were still a little hesitant. I growled low into her mouth, my hand tightening at the back of her neck to keep her from retreating.The air inside the car grew hotter. I could feel her uneven breath mixing with mine. Her lips were soft, slightly wet, and the taste of them was driving me further out of my mind.Slowly, I broke the kiss only to trail my mouth along her jaw. I kissed downward, following the line of her jaw to the spot beneath her ear, then lower to the pale, warm skin of her neck. Elena tilted her head to the side, giving me more access, as if her body was being more honest than her words.I pressed a kiss to her neck, then sucked gently on one spot. A soft moan immediately slipped from her lips. The sound made my blood surge hotter.“Cedric…” Her voice was hoarse, al

    ELENAI wasn’t sure if I had truly woken up or if part of me was still trapped in the night I desperately wanted to forget.All I knew was that my body felt unfamiliar the moment I opened my eyes. When I turned my head, Cedric was sleeping soundly beside me. For a few seconds, I could only stare at
