One Night Stand with the Secret Billionaire Chapter 164
The investigation team did not take long to track down Desmond Roland. By Tuesday morning, Lucas’s head investigator sent a pinned location to the private security team. Desmond was hiding out at an old truck garage on the industrial outskirts of the city.Inside the dim, oil-stained garage, Desmond was standing near the back of a disassembled semi-truck. He was wrapping up a conversation with three strangers. They were speaking in low tones, exchanging small slips of paper. Desmond looked older, his face rough from years on the streets, but he still wore the same dirty leather jacket from his old neighborhood days."Look, just get the cash ready by Thursday," Desmond told the tallest man, wiping some stains off his hands with a rag. "I don't like waiting around."Before the man could answer, the heavy metal side doors of the garage kicked open with a loud bang.Six of Lucas Yates’s private security guards rushed into the space. They were dressed in plain black tactical gear, moving w
One Night Stand with the Secret Billionaire Chapter 163
The luxury lounge was still full of soft music and the sound of people clinking glasses, but for Judith Sterling, everything had gone cold. She sat at the table, staring at the pile of cash Fred had thrown at her. It was more money than most people earned in a month, but it felt heavy and shameful in her purse. It was the price of her pride, the final payment for a relationship that had just ended in front of everyone.With shaking hands, she put the money away and stood up. Her head felt a bit dizzy from the drinks, but the pain of being rejected made her realize she had no other choice. She walked out of the lounge and called for a taxi.When the car pulled up to the front of the Sterling Manor, Judith’s heart sank. The big gates were wide open, and the driveway was messy with scraps of paper and dust. Leonard was standing there, looking smaller and more tired than she had ever seen him. He was surrounded by four large suitcases that looked much too heavy for him to carry alone.Jud

Leonard hung up and immediately called his sister, Judith. He needed a way to get his bags to Ophelia’s apartment, and he didn't even have enough money to pay for a taxi or a van."Judith, I need a favor," Leonard said quickly. "I’m out. The house is gone. I need you to tell your boyfriend, Fred, to bring his car. I have several large suitcases and some things I couldn't leave behind. I need him to pick me up right now and take me to Ophelia’s."At that moment, Judith Sterling was sitting in a very expensive lounge. She was already having her second drink, and she was feeling a bit dizzy. Fred Thompson sat across from her, looking bored and annoyed with their date.Judith put her phone down and looked at Fred with a careless smile. "Hey, babe. That was Leonard. He is in trouble. He needs you to drive to the house and pick him and his bags up. He is moving into Ophelia’s place for a bit."Fred’s eyes became narrow, and he put his glass down on the table very hard. The nice feeling of t

The weekend had passed in a heavy, quiet way. For several days, the private investigation team had been working day and night. They were busy tracing the life of Desmond Roland through old police records and small neighborhood bars. Lucas stayed close to his computer, his mind constantly thinking about the best time to tell the truth. He knew this secret would take away everything Serah had stolen. Every time he looked at the DNA report, he felt a strong, protective love for Selene. He wasn't just holding a piece of paper, he was holding the key to her peace.But another Monday had arrived, bringing the weight of the Yates family’s future with it. The morning sun moved across Lucas’s desk, lighting up the thick stack of papers bound in dark blue leather. These were the final terms for the Kimberlite Experience, the big project that would join the Yates name with the famous Jameson family.Lucas stood by the window, looking at his reflection. He felt a deep sweetness in his heart knowi
One Night Stand with the Secret Billionaire Chapter 160
The night was very quiet, but inside Lucas’s office, the air felt heavy with secrets. He had been sitting in the same spot for nearly an hour, his eyes fixed on the glow of his computer screen. Just as he was about to finish for the night, a new message flashed on the screen from his investigation team. It was marked... URGENT.Lucas clicked it open. His heart started to beat faster as he read the first few lines. The investigators had moved past Serah’s school years and into her early twenties. They had found an old medical record from a small clinic that had been closed down years ago.The document was a DNA report that had been hidden in a private file for a very long time. It was never meant to be seen by the Henry family. Lucas felt a cold shock as he looked at the names on the paper.The report stated very clearly that Anna was not the biological child of Selene's father, Edward Henry.Lucas leaned closer to the screen, his mind racing. If Edward wasn't her father, then who was?
One Night Stand with the Secret Billionaire Chapter 159
The evening sun dipped low over the California coast, painting the sky in warm, gentle colors as the day began to fade. Inside the penthouse, the air was still and calm. Selene had finally finished the last of the papers for the Jameson partnership and was resting on the sofa, watching the waves through the large glass windows. Lucas, however, was still in his office. He had the door closed, and the only light in the room came from his computer screen.He clicked on the secret file his investigation team had just sent. He felt a deep, protective love for Selene; he was doing this to protect her heart and her future, making sure she would always be safe from those who meant her harm.The file opened to show old documents from thirty years ago. They were from a small, quiet town where Serah had grown up. The first page was an old school record, but it wasn't the grades that caught Lucas's eye. It was a formal letter from the school leaders.As Lucas read, his face became very serious. T

The seventh day arrived not with a bang, but with the heavy thrum of a high-speed printer churning out the final, irreversible reports. The air in the executive suite of the Blue Core Mine was thick and heavy with the scent of bitter black coffee and the invisible weight of a two-hundred-billion-do

Back at the Yates Empire, Lucas was conducting his own version of a review. He wasn't looking at the bids, he was looking at the people behind them. He sat in his clinical, silent office, watching a live feed of the Blue Core Mine’s entrance. He saw the black car that had been idling outside for th

The next morning, the mood was much darker at the Sterling manor.Ophelia was already there, pacing the floor of the grand library. Her face was tight with anger, her eyes red from lack of sleep. Lord Sterling was sitting in his usual chair, staring at a blank wall. The air in the room felt thick w
