Julian’s POV

The clock on the wall of my study struck midnight. The room was dark, lit only by the soft glow of the computer monitors and a single lamp on my desk. I sat in my large leather chair, feeling the weight of the day. My body was tired, but my mind was racing.

On the large screen in front of me, a video call was active. My right-hand man, Stefan, looked back at me. He had just returned to his hotel room after a long work trip in Europe. He looked tired, but his eyes were sharp.

"So,"

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    all we ever was

    Julian’s POVI walked back into the study. Leo was asleep in my arms again. The mission for the blue cup and the ball-shaped ice had been a success. He had taken two sips, told me the water was too cold, and then promptly fallen asleep against my shoulder as I walked back up the stairs.I sat back down in my chair, careful not to wake him. I looked at the screen. Stefan was still there, a soft smile on his face. Marcus was back to work, but he looked more relaxed."He's out?" Stefan asked quietly."Like a light," I whispered. I looked down at Leo’s peaceful face. He looked so innocent."He's a beautiful boy, Julian," Stefan said. "But be careful. Adrian Visser is a snake. He won't give up. He will look for every hole in the law to take that boy away from you."I tightened my hold on Leo. I felt a fierce, protective fire in my gut. "Let them try. I have spent my whole life building this empire. I have fought off enemies bigger than Adrian. If they want a war, I will give them one they

I sat in my large leather chair, feeling the weight of the day. My body was tired, but my mind was racing. On the large screen in front of me, a video call was active. My right-hand man, Stefan, looked back at me. He had just returned to his hotel room after a long work trip in Europe. He looked tired, but his eyes were sharp."So," Stefan said, leaning back in his chair. "I leave for one week, and the whole world turns upside down. You found her? And the boy?"I nodded, rubbing my face with my hands. "I found them. Or rather, my mother found the boy, and Elena found me. It was a mess, Stefan. Mark and Adrian tried to force her into a wedding."I spent the next thirty minutes telling Stefan everything. I told him about the garden, the missing signature, Elena’s escape, and the moment I saw Leo at the hospital. Stefan liste

    Julian’s POVThe air in the hospital room was thick. Elena and I were standing on opposite sides of a canyon made of anger and hurt. I wanted to reach out and grab her, to demand she never leave again, but her words about me being choking and "overprotective" were still ringing in my ears."You don't understand, Elena," I hissed, my voice low so the guards outside wouldn't hear. "I am the only thing standing between you and men who want to ruin you.""And who is standing between me and you, Julian?" she countered, her eyes flashing.Before I could answer, the heavy wooden door creaked open. A small, sleepy figure stood there, rubbing his eyes with his fists. Leo looked tiny against the vastness of the hospital hallway."Mama?" Leo’s voice was thick with sleep. "I'm sleepy. Can we go to our bed now? The lights here are too loud."The fire in Elena’s eyes died down instantly, replaced by that soft, maternal glow that made my chest ache. She knelt down and opened her arms. Leo stumbled i

    Julian’s POVThe hospital hallway was too bright. It felt like the white lights were burning into my skull. My heart was thumping against my ribs, a wild animal trying to break free. In my arms, Elena was trembling. She was still barefoot, her feet cleaned and bandaged by my private medic in the car, but she looked like she might shatter if I let go.We reached Room 402. Two of my best security guards stood outside the door like stone pillars. They bowed their heads as I approached."My mother?" I asked, my voice sounding like it was coming from deep underwater."Inside with the boy, sir," the guard replied.I pushed the door open. The room was quiet, save for the soft hum of a heart monitor and the rustle of a page being turned. My mother, Lady Catherine, was sitting in a chair by the bed. And there, propped up against the pillows, was the boy.I stopped in my tracks. The world around me simply ceased to exist. He was small. So much smaller than I had imagined. He was wearing overs

    THE GARDEN Adrian Visser stood by the stone altar, his face a mask of cold, white-hot rage. He looked down at the unsigned wedding papers. The ink on Mark’s signature was dry, but the line for Elena Montgomery was empty. Without that signature, Mark Montgomery was nothing. He was just a fugitive with no legal standing, no family claim, and no protection."You absolute fool," Adrian hissed, his voice like the rattle of a snake.Mark was pacing nearby, his suit jacket torn, his hair a mess. He looked like a man who had been dragged through a hedge, which wasn't far from the truth. "I’ll find her, Adrian. I’ll find the car. She can’t drive that SUV forever. It has a tracker!""The tracker was disabled three minutes ago, Mark," Adrian said, turning his head slowly to look at him. "She isn't as stupid as you are. She learned a few things while she was hiding from the world."Adrian looked at his guards. They were standing like statues, terrified of the look in his eyes. He thought about

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    Breaking point

    Elena’s POVThe air in the garden turned ice-cold the moment the guard shouted that Leo was gone. My heart didn't just skip a beat; it felt like it stopped entirely. I looked at the empty black SUV, then back at the sea of guards. My son, my little boy, was out there somewhere in a city he didn't know, surrounded by people who wanted to hurt us."Leo!" I screamed, my voice tearing through the quiet of the garden. I tried to run toward the gate, but a heavy hand clamped down on my shoulder."Stay put, Elena!" Mark hissed. His face was twisted with a mix of panic and fury. He wasn't worried about Leo’s safety; he was worried about his plan falling apart.Adrian stepped forward, his eyes like flint. He looked at the guards with pure murder in his gaze. "You idiots! How do you lose a four-year-old child in a fenced garden? Find him! Now!"The lackeys scattered, shouting into their radios. The priest stood by the altar, looking like he wanted to melt into the stone. The ceremony was a wre
