Mark’s POV

The room was small and dark. It was a cheap hotel on the edge of the city, but today, it looked like a movie set. Adrian had spent the last three hours barking orders at people I didn't know.

There was a woman with a big bag of makeup. There was a young man with a professional ring light and a camera. There was even a girl sitting in the corner with a laptop, typing away at a script.

"Stop moving, Mark," the makeup woman said. She was dabbing a grey powder under my eyes.

Mark is a major creep and will hurt Leo. I wish Julian wasn't so domineering and controlling.

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    first time for fights

    Elena glared up at Julian, her chest rising and falling with fast, angry breaths. "Fine then! Our son!You kept a threat to our son away from me. Does that sound better to you?.” "I protected our son from unnecessary panic while I handled the threat!" Julian snapped back, his deep voice echoing. His dark eyes flashed with an icy anger. "I am his father, Elena! Everything I do is to keep him safe! You making a scene in front of my mother and our staff does not change the fact that Leo is completely unharmed!""I don't care about your mother or your staff!" Elena shouted, her voice trembling with emotion. "I care about my baby! If I hadn't bumped into Victoria in the parking lot and gone to your office to interrogate Marcus, I would still be sitting at work thinking my son was at the zoo! You lied to me by staying silent!""I did not lie to you!" Julian stepped closer, his broad shoulders blocking the light. "I was investigating who sent that car! I was taking care of the problem so you

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    Not yours, Ours

    The black sedan pulled through the gates of the old Vane estate, coming to a stop near the front fountain. Julian stepped out into the quiet afternoon air, his suit jacket buttoned tight and his face etched with dark, brooding tension. Two security guards immediately stood at attention, bowing their heads as Julian marched up the stone steps. Frank met him at the double wooden doors. "Mr. Vane," Frank said quietly, stepping aside to let him pass. "Tell me you have a lead," Julian commanded, not slowing his pace as he walked into the foyer. "We pulled the highway traffic footage, sir," Frank reported, trailing two steps behind him. "The blue sedan had fake registration plates. They vanished into a crowded industrial zone five miles past the exit. The driver knew exactly where the blind spots in the city surveillance cameras were." Julian stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around, his dark eyes fixed on Frank with a terrifying sharpness. "So you are telling me you don’t know

    Across the city at Carnegie Shipping, the afternoon sun was beginning to dip behind the high-rise office towers.Elena Carnegie rubbed her tired eyes, leaning back in her large leather executive chair. Her desk was covered in stacks of supply chain contracts and international shipping manifests. Sitting across from her on a plush velvet armchair was Chloe, holding two cold cups of iced coffee."If I look at one more logistics report today, my eyes are going to turn into spreadsheets," Elena groaned, tossing her pen onto the desk.Chloe burst out laughing, setting one of the iced coffees in front of Elena. "Oh, come on, CEO Carnegie! You wanted the big chair, didn't you? This is what power looks like, endless paperwork and lukewarm coffee.""I thought power meant taking long lunch breaks," Elena teased, sipping her coffee with a sigh of relief. "My back is killing me.""Well," Chloe smirked, leaning forward with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "If you are that tired, why don't you cal

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    Grandma’s safe house

    The gates of the Vane old country estate swung open smoothly. The two heavy black SUVs drove down the long, tree-lined driveway and came to a stop in front of the grand stone mansion.Inside the main foyer, Lady Catherine Vane was setting down a silver watering can near her indoor plants when the front door opened.Nanny Kimberly walked in first, holding little Leo’s hand with her left hand and Toby’s with her right. The two boys walked in slowly. They were no longer bouncing with energy. Leo was clutching his small rocket backpack against his chest, and Toby was holding his plush dragon toy tightly.Catherine blinked in surprise, setting her watering can down on a side table. She smoothed her elegant silk dress and walked toward them with a warm, welcoming smile."Well, what a lovely surprise!" Catherine said happily, crouching down to be at eye level with the boys. "I was not expecting my handsome grandson to be back so early.""Hi, Grandma," Leo said softly, his voice lacking its u

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    At the gates

    The high-floor office of Vane Enterprises was completely quiet, save for the soft tapping of Julian’s pen against his desk. Huge glass windows overlooked the city skyline, but Julian’s dark eyes were fixed on the multi-billion dollar investment reports stacked in front of him.The heavy double doors opened, and Mr. Hargrove, the company's senior Chief Operating Officer, stepped into the room. Hargrove was a grey-haired man in his late sixties who had served on the board since Julian’s grandfather ran the company. He carried a leather folder, his expression stiff and severe."Here are the final quarterly balance sheets for the European shipping launch, Julian," Hargrove said, setting the folder down on the polished wood."Thank you, Hargrove," Julian said smoothly, taking the folder and signing his name neatly at the bottom of the front page. "Everything looks in order."Hargrove didn't leave immediately. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and let out a heavy, forced sigh. "I hear you

    The big black SUV with dark windows smelled like leather and strawberry juice.In the back seat, Leo and his best friend Toby were bouncing up and down in their high booster seats. They were both wearing little sun hats and held matching plastic zoo tickets in their small hands."I am going to see the big green alligator!" Leo cheered, waving his ticket in the air. "And I'm gonna roar at him! RAWR!.” Toby giggled loudly, hiding his face behind his hands. "Alligators don't roar, Leo! They go snap, snap!” "No, they go RAWR!” Leo laughed, kicking his small sneakers against the front seat.Sitting right across from them in the middle row was their nanny, Kimberly. She reached over and gently smoothed down Leo's dark curls."Keep your seatbelts tight, boys," Kimberly said with a soft chuckle. "We will be at the zoo gates in five minutes. And remember, we stay together, hold hands, and no feeding the monkeys your crackers!""Okay, Miss Kimberly!" the two boys chirped together.Sitting in

    ELENA’s POV The sun was shining through the windows of the big bedroom. I was sitting up in bed, drinking the tea Julian had made for me. I felt much better than I did during the night. The pain in my stomach was gone, but my heart still felt heavy. I kept thinking about Mark. I wondered where he

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    His precious cargo

    Julian Vane stepped out. He wasn't in a hundred thousand dollar suit surprisingly. He wore a simple black sweater that hugged his broad shoulders and dark jeans. He looked less like a CEO and more like a predator out for a stroll. But as he looked at me standing there in the middle of the parking

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    A gift or an insult ?

    ELENA’s POV The morning after the gala, the sun felt too bright. It felt like it was poking through the heavy curtains of our bedroom. My head still throbbed. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Julian Vane’s face. I saw the way he looked at me, like he owned the air I was breathing.I rolled over

    The museum was filled with the sound of a hundred violins, but to me, it sounded like a funeral.Every step I took in my high heels felt like I was walking on fire. My stomach was in knots, not just from the nerves, but from the fear I felt. In my mind, I felt like I was already showing. I felt li
