Secrets of the Night: A Billionaire’s Hidden Heirs

Kate Pov I sat in one of the most luxurious clubs until nightfall, when the place truly came alive. Before me were two bottles of alcohol, and I was drowning myself in sorrow. For the past three years of my marriage, I had been entirely faithful to that bastard. I wouldn't even let any man flirt with me, let alone cheat. I trusted him blindly, yet he shattered my heart like it was nothing. The more I drank, the more I hoped to forget my pain, but the alcohol seemed useless. The naked image of Melissa and Lucas kept replaying in my mind like a haunting nightmare. Anger flared within me, and I suddenly stood, my eyes scanning the crowd of dancing bodies. A reckless thought crossed my mind—I needed to pick a random man and have a one-night stand. After all, I was now divorced and single again. My gaze landed on a tall man entering a room, and without thinking, I ran toward him. Before the door could close, I slipped inside. Leaning on him immediately, I used my left hand to shut

Kate Pov I curled my legs up on my bed, tears streaming down my face. I felt both sad and humiliated after everything that had happened today. First, I lost my job, and second, I was thrown out of that man's presence like I was nothing. I hated him. I believed he was arrogant and heartless. What had even possessed me to approach the most powerful man in Silvercrest? Was I out of my mind? Where would I get a job now? All the companies I had sent applications to had yet to respond. The door suddenly opened, and Emma appeared. "Mum!" she called, running towards me before I could even finish wiping my tears. I didn’t like my children seeing me cry. I believed it would trouble them. So, I quickly wiped my tears and forced a smile. Emma looked at me with concern. "Mum, what's wrong?" "Nothing at all," I lied. "I'm just happy to have you all around me." "But we are never absent from you," Emma said. Before I could say another word, Chloe and Sophia walked in and climbed

Kate Pov I was shocked. Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be him? My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears, and for a moment, I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. This man had warned me never to appear before him again, that if I did, he would destroy me. And yet, here I was, standing in his office. Was fate punishing me? "You dared to appear before me again, you cunning woman," the most powerful man in Silvercrest, Roberto Alessandro, said with a dangerous look in his eyes. My lips trembled, and I shook my head desperately. "I… I never knew you were the CEO, sir. I… I never knew." Roberto didn't believe me. His sharp gaze bore into mine, full of suspicion and anger. Everyone in Silvercrest knew that Roberto Alessandro was the CEO of Alessandro Corporation. To him, I must have looked like a fool or worse, a liar. He stood from his seat. The moment I saw him rise, fear surged through me, and I instinctively stepped back. Should

Kate Pov I wondered who could be knocking. I wasn’t expecting any visitors and hadn’t made any friends in this neighborhood. Nevertheless, I stood and walked toward the door. When I opened it, I saw a tall woman standing there. "Kate!" the woman screamed. I furrowed my brows as I eventually recognized her. "Lily!" We hugged each other dearly, and I quickly let her in. Lily had been my roommate at the university. Throughout my four years there, we had lived in the same room, but we lost contact somehow after graduating. "How did you find out where I live?" I asked, still basking in the joy of reuniting with my old friend. "I didn’t. I actually came here to apologize for what my son did. He didn’t allow his friends to play ball with him, and I think that’s selfish," she said. Then she paused, her eyes widening. "Wait, are the three boys yours?" "Yes, they are," I responded. Lily furrowed her brows. "Oh my days! I always thought their parents must be so lucky. Oh wow! I do

Kate Pov I wanted to scream, but the hand covering my mouth was too quick. I calmed myself and tried to see the person's face. When I realized it was Lucas, I shoved him away angrily."Why did you drag me here?" I snapped, stepping out of the dark space and glaring at him with pure disgust."Don't pretend like you don't miss me," Lucas smirked."Disgusting. After six years, do you still think I haven't gotten over what happened?" I asked, my voice laced with bitterness."It's not my fault that you are barren," Lucas scoffed. "And your little act, pretending to be Reberto’s wife, is just laughable. You think I don't know? Reberto and I were childhood friends, and we used to be best friends. Over the years, we've grown apart and aren't on good terms anymore, but I still know a lot about him. You, of all people, can never be Reberto's type.""Whether I'm his type or not, can I know why you are so concerned? You already have your secretary, right? I hope you've married her and that she's
