My Billionaire Boss's Secret Heir Chapter Fifty-Seven: Uninvited
Sophia's POVThe doorbell rang less than twenty minutes after Mini's taxi pulled away.I assumed she'd forgotten something — her scarf, her phone charger, some piece of the chaos she always managed to leave scattered behind her — and opened the door still smiling, the warmth of the evening not yet fully worn off.It wasn't Mini.Penelope stood on the other side, dressed sharp and severe despite the hour, and beside her, a tall, silver-haired man with the same cold precision in his eyes I remembered from the gala. Ethan's father."Sophia." Penelope's smile was thin, practiced, entirely without warmth. "May we come in?"I glanced past them toward the empty street, half expecting a car to still be idling at the curb, some excuse for why they'd shown up unannounced at nine o'clock at night."Ethan's in his study," I said carefully. "I'll let him know you're here.""We're not here for Ethan," his father said, stepping past me into the entryway without waiting for an invitation, Penelope fo
My Billionaire Boss's Secret Heir Chapter Fifty-Six: A Version of the Truth
Sophia's POV"Mini, I'm—"I stopped.The word sat right there, one breath away, and for a second I actually believed I might say it — the whole tangled truth, the contract, the trust, the pregnancy curled quiet beneath my ribs, all of it finally spilling out in one uncontrolled rush.Then I looked at her face, open and waiting and so certain she was about to catch something small enough to hold, and something in me pulled back at the last possible second."I'm not being fully honest with you," I said instead, which was true enough to not quite be a lie. "About how we started. Ethan and I."Mini's grip on my hands tightened. "Okay. Tell me.""We were seeing each other before any of this became public. Before the engagement announcement, before the gala." I kept my voice steady, watching her face carefully, feeling the shape of the story build itself as I spoke, half improvisation, half something closer to what I wished were true. "It wasn't some sudden whirlwind thing the way the headl
My Billionaire Boss's Secret Heir Chapter Fifty-Five: Best Friend Don't Lie
Sophia's POVMini showed up at the penthouse a little after four, no warning beyond a single text — *I'm outside, let me up before I start yelling at your doorman* — and by the time I opened the door she was already mid-sentence, dragging a rolling suitcase behind her like she'd packed for a week instead of an afternoon visit."Don't even," she said, pushing past me into the entryway, dropping her bag with a thud. "I saw the headlines. I saw the airport photos. I saw you walking past reporters like a Bond villain, and I decided my best friend needed emergency in-person intervention, and also possibly wine.""I don't have wine.""Then we're getting some. But first—" She grabbed both my hands, turning me toward the light streaming through the windows, studying my face with the particular intensity only fifteen years of friendship could earn. "You look tired.""It's been a week.""It's been a *lot* of a week." She pulled me toward the couch, kicking off her shoes, settling in like she ow
My Billionaire Boss's Secret Heir Chapter Fifty-Four: Headlines
Sophia's POVNeither of us had said much since the night before.We packed in near silence — Ethan folding his shirts with the same brisk efficiency he brought to everything, me shoving my father's forgotten pajama bag into my suitcase alongside my own things, the two of us moving carefully around each other like strangers sharing a hotel room instead of a marriage. My cheek didn't hurt anymore. My pride hadn't fully recovered.On the plane, he opened his laptop almost immediately, and I watched his jaw tighten as headline after headline loaded across the screen, close enough that I caught fragments even from where I sat.*The Billionaire Who Married the Poor Girl.**Ethan Blackwell Gave Up His True Match to Marry a Nobody.**Inside the Rushed Wedding No One Saw Coming.*He closed the laptop hard enough that the sound cracked through the cabin, and neither of us said anything about it, the silence between us somehow louder than the headlines had been.By the time we landed, the airpor
My Billionaire Boss's Secret Heir Chapter Fifty Three
I only lasted about twenty minutes sitting on those stairs before the quiet started to rot.The two brown paper bags of Chinese food were still sitting on the landing where I’d dropped them, the cheap plastic handles folded flat, the smell of grease and soy sauce going cold and thick in the draft coming off the front door. My face was still stinging where she’d slapped me, or maybe where I’d slapped myself with what I’d said. I couldn't tell the difference anymore. I kept hearing my own voice echoing off the narrow stairwell—spitting those vile, ugly words at her, accusing her of things I knew weren't true just to make her feel as small as I felt. I felt sick down to the pit of my stomach.But every time I tried to convince myself to walk back in there and drop to my knees, the picture of that guy helping her out of the car flashed back behind my eyes like a strobe light.I kept seeing his fingers near her elbow. Not quite touching her, but close enough to show he felt he had the righ
My Billionaire Boss's Secret Heir Chapter Fifty-Two: Jealousy
Ethan's POVThe first alert came through during the board call.A transfer notification, small, easy to dismiss in the middle of a presentation about quarterly projections — a few thousand dollars moved out of one of the minor accounts, nothing that should have registered as more than routine. I didn't think much of it. Accounts moved money constantly; half of it was automated, the other half handled by people I trusted to flag anything unusual.A second alert came ten minutes later. Then a third.By the time the call ended, nearly forty thousand dollars had quietly drained out of an account I rarely checked, routed through channels vague enough that tracing it properly would take longer than I had patience for tonight. I made a note to have it looked into in the morning and told myself it wasn't urgent enough to chase down before dealing with everything else already stacked on my plate.It should have been the first thing on my mind.It wasn't.Sophia was.I got home a little after e
