Secrets of the Night: A Billionaire’s Hidden Heirs Chapter 11
Kate Pov Daniel sighed, looking at me with a pitiful expression. He could tell that I was going through a lot. He might not know the details, but he could discern it."Can you tell me how you have been? I know we've been distant, but I still kept track of you. The last thing I knew about you was that you and your husband divorced six years ago," Daniel said."I'm fine. I'm losing my patience, and I will just walk out now. I don’t want to be rude, so please go straight to the point," I said, trying to hold back my anger and pain.Daniel, of course, understood the reason for my anger toward him, so he went straight to the point. "A woman from a rich and powerful family approached me a long time ago when her husband's company was almost going bankrupt. And although I'm not half as rich as they are, I had what it took to help them at that moment."He continued, "I realized that if I simply asked the woman to pay me back in the future, the payback wouldn't last. So, I did what I thought w

Kate PovI alighted from the cab that dropped me at one of the biggest mansions in Silvercrest. The building was extremely large and tall—so massive that even if seven generations were living inside, they would all be comfortable.This woman is indeed very wealthy, I thought as I stepped in. I checked my wristwatch and saw that I was not late yet. Seeing that the main large door wasn’t closed, I stepped inside and appeared in a large living room with royal chairs and tables.“Hey, Kate,”I turned and saw the woman who had been helping me, Cora. I quickly walked toward her. “Mother, good morning!”“Welcome, dear. I’m glad you eventually came as promised,” she said warmly, gesturing for me to sit. I obeyed.“He will be here soon, okay?” Cora said to me, and I nodded. My heart pounded nervously. I didn’t know if her son would be ugly or handsome, kind or terrible, respectful toward women or a complete nightmare. Whichever way, I was about to find out.“I personally can’t wait to see your

Kate Pov I was now in the mansion with my six kids. They were in Bella’s room, and I had told them that she was their second grandma. She would be responsible for taking care of them, but since I lived in the mansion, I would always check up on them and play with them as usual.Most importantly, I warned them again and again to refer to me as ‘aunt’ instead of ‘mum.’ When they asked why, I told them it was necessary for now. I explained that it would keep us all protected. Though they couldn’t fully understand the reason behind it, they agreed.My greatest fear was that one of them might mistakenly call me ‘mum’ in front of Roberto.I sat on the couch in the large room where Roberto and I would be staying, smiling as I remembered how Cora and Bella had showered my kids with so much love when they saw them.But my smile soon disappeared when Roberto walked in."Successfully married to the most powerful man in the city. Now your dream has come true, right?" he said."That's not my drea

Kate Pov Jason leaned toward Nathan and whispered, "Is he our dad?""Don't you see that he looks like you and Liam?" Nathan answered, and Jason observed carefully, confirming it.Could he really be our dad? Jason thought. He turned to Liam and whispered, "Do you think this big uncle is our dad?""If he is, he would have taken a look at us, but he just ignored us," Liam replied.Roberto glanced at Nathan, who had just called him "Dad," then turned back to Bella with a smile. "Off to work, Mother." He walked away majestically.I had been extremely tense and immediately ran toward them. "Nathan , why would you call him Dad? Huh?" I tried to keep my voice calm despite my anger.Nathan saw how upset I was and immediately began to cry.I softened, my anger melting away. "Sorry, dear." I moved closer and comforted him. "That man is just an uncle. He's not your dad. You can call him Uncle but not Dad, okay?"Nathan nodded in response.I greeted Bella, exchanged a few words with her, then tur

Kate Pov He watched as Bella led the children to her room. Were those six children really hers? But she couldn’t have abducted six identical kids at once, even if she had wanted to.He said “he needed to find a way to talk to at least one of them whenever He got the chance to”.Meanwhile, I sat in the bathroom, frustrated. I was perched on the edge of the bathtub with only a towel wrapped around my body. How heartless could this man be? If he wanted to lock me up, did it have to be in the bathroom?Hours passed, and night fell. I had kept hoping he would change his mind, but he didn’t. To make matters worse, I hadn’t eaten dinner, and I was so hungry.As the night fell so deeply, I realized there was still no sign of anyone coming. Did that mean I wouldn’t get to check on my children tonight?I walked to the door and knocked. No response. I banged on it in frustration, then screamed, yet still, I got no reply.I continued hitting the door with all my strength, but it was too strong. I

Kate Pov A few hours after I arrived back at the apartment I rented when I returned from Nouth Hill, I took a cab to my children's school. The school was a very prestigious and expensive one, attended only by students from the richest families in town.When I arrived at the school to pick up my kids, the teacher in charge told me that the children had already been taken away by a man.A man? My heart almost jumped out of my chest. Had Cora betrayed me by telling her son about my plan to leave? Was it Roberto who had come to pick up the children? If he had, and if he had found out that the children were his, then I was doomed.Everything within me became completely disorganized. I ran out of the school and was about to take a cab back to the mansion when another thought struck me—what if it wasn’t Roberto who took the children? Although there was a ninety percent chance that it was him.I turned back and ran into the school again, just in time to see the teacher stepping out of the cl

Kate PovI didn’t know what to say anymore. I was in a state of dilemma, my mouth literally shivering. Why didn’t my plan to run away go as planned? I despised Lucas so much for going to pick up my children.After two minutes of silence, the call ended.My hand dropped slowly from my ear. What would Roberto plan on doing to me now? I had angered him, and I was now in deep trouble."The phone, please," Jack requested, and I handed it over to him. I had even forgotten that Jack was standing before me.As Jack walked away, I became so lost in thought that I barely noticed what was going on around me anymore. I was in deep suspense about what Roberto planned to do to me. Most particularly, I was scared that he might go ahead and ask Lucas about it. If Lucas spilled the truth, wouldn’t I be in even bigger trouble?Should I quickly go to Lucas and plead with him to cover up for me? I turned to look at Lucas and saw him smile at me with a mocking expression. At that moment, I remembered how

Kate PovRoberto was busy in his study room when he heard a knock on the door. Anytime he studies inside the room, no one dares to disturb or distract him.Roberto heard a knock at the door….Could it be me he thought?Anger surged through him as he stood up and walked over to the door. Everyone in this mansion, including his mother, knew better not to disturb when he was in his room studying no matter how urgent the matter may be.He.angrily opened the door, and to his surprise, he saw a young, handsome boy standing there.The boy suddenly shouted, "I found him!"He barely had time to process what he meant before another boy appeared, then another, and before He knew it, three little girls joined them.These kids belong to Bella, he later realized. What are they doing around his study room? And how did they even get here?He was disturbed, trying to chase them away, but then a memory hit him—the day one of the boys called Bella "aunt" and asked for their mother in front of him.This

Kate pov"Yes, sir," Michael placed a call across to the restaurant manager and commanded him to evacuate everyone from the restaurant as it was Roberto’s command. In a swift, an announcement was passed and everyone was immediately asked to evacuate the restaurant.Some people had not eaten half of their food, some had just started, no one knew why they were being evacuated and some were even murmuring at such an uncultured act.Drake and I also had to leave. I soon returned back to my seat. I could neither continue my conversation with Drake nor me continue eating. Overall, I liked Drake’s vibe. His jokes were reasonable, and he looked like a perfect gentleman.Once we closed at work, Drake walked over to me with a sad face and said, "I have been fired."I furrowed my brow and stood. "What! Fired? How? What did you do?""I don't know. I tried asking the bosses but they all kept shunning me. No one will even say a word," Drake said.I thought hard about why he could have been fired an

Kate PovRoberto sat beside the bed I was on and was watching me; he had been beside me for the past two hours. He already had his personal assistant, Jack, investigate who shot me. He would have suspected Lucas, but Lucas was already in prison.He received a call on his phone and, seeing that the caller ID was Jack, he answered at once, "Have you found out who the person is?""No, sir. I'm outside with the drugs that Mrs. Katw is to use," Jack said, and Roberto stood at once and went to get the drugs from him.By the time he returned to the room, I was already awake. He went to sit beside me and asked, "How do you feel?"I remembered that the last thing I knew was that a heavy and harmful object had penetrated my shoulder. I adjusted to a sitting position and asked, "How did I get here?""You were shot in the shoulder," Roberto said immediately, making me furrow my brow in shock."Do you have a fight with anyone?" he asked."Not at all," I answered and suddenly winced in pain as I fe

Kate pov I squinted my eyes and eventually shut them. I felt sorrowful at the fact that he may never love me. It’s been six years, yet he still wasn’t ready to give love a chance. People who cheat on us sometimes do not know that they are not only breaking our hearts but damaging them.I turned and walked into my room, thinking hard about the possibility of Cleon falling in love with me. Even though I knew that if a time came when he finally fell in love with me, then that would be nothing short of a miracle.The following day, Roberto walked into the executive hall with our three sons. Everyone had thought in the past that the most powerful man in Slivercrest was infertile. Now, it was time to prove to the world how fertile the most powerful man in Slivercrest truly was.Jason, Nathan, and Liam were all dressed in black tailored suits and black shoes just like their father. As they stepped into the hall, a lot of newscasters and journalists took photos of Roberto and his three sons.

Roberto Pov I was just about to light my cigarette when I raised my gaze up at her as soon as she said those words. "What did you say?" I paused what I was about to do and seriously concentrated on her. "The children are yours. I wasn't sleeping with random men at the club. I only had a one-night stand with you 'cause I was terribly heartbroken," Kate said. Unlike her previous words that I found hard to believe, I seemed to believe this. I stood to my feet and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" "Yes, I found out I was pregnant two weeks after we had sex," she said. "I was hiding it from you because I was scared that you would take them from me. But I would rather let their father take them from me than let a stupid jerk and cheat take them from me," she said. I smiled. Happiness spread across my heart, and I quickly prayed in my heart that this wouldn't be a dream. I held her left arm and asked, "Are you really telling the truth?" "Yes, you can perform a DNA test to prove it,

Roberto PovI didn’t say a word while we were inside the car, and that even made Kate more nervous. She kept glancing at me. She was sure I was definitely angry, but the fact that I wasn’t saying anything made her worried.A couple of minutes later, the fleet of cars came to a halt, and the doors were immediately opened on both sides. I stepped out through one side while Kate stepped out through the other. It was only after she stepped out that she realized we were at the mansion.Why were we here? She wondered and immediately followed me as we both walked inside the house. I walked straight to my mother Cora's room while Kate followed. She saw Cora on the bed with all sorts of medical gadgets connected to her.“Mother,” she walked quickly to her.Once Cora sighted her, she forced out a smile. Her sickness had suddenly gotten worse, and now she wasn’t even sure if she would live the nine months that the doctor had predicted. The pain was getting more intense day by day, and yesterday

Roberto povThe court day was today and here I was, seated majestically with my personal assistant and three of my executive assistants. My head of security was also seated close by Kate was seated just in front of me while Lucas sat alone on the row beside ours.Lucas's lawyer was the first to speak. After defending Lucas, he presented the invalid divorce papers that Kate had signed — but, of course, there was no signature from Lucas.This jerk didn’t sign it even after six years! Kate mumbled angrily.Lucas's lawyer then began to talk about why the six children were his. The kids were in a separate courtroom at the moment. They had no real idea what was going on, but I knew they were nervous — they had a bit of knowledge about what court meant.The lawyer went on and presented a DNA test result claiming to prove the children were Lucas's.Kate stood and shouted, “What! That’s not true. That result is forged.” She was certain of it.“Order!” the judge barked and took the DNA result.

Roberto PovWe left the classroom and in a hurry, we were inside the car. As the car drove me and the six kids to the ice cream joint, I wished badly that the kids were mine. I loved them so much as though they were my bones and marrow.After getting them an ice cream each, we went back home. Once Kate heard the sounds of a fleet of cars parked outside, she stood and watched through the window as the children were welcomed down like the children of a king.She loved how her children were given so much respect, it was even more beautiful to see the most powerful man in Slivercrest me who was luckily their father, smiling with them. She watched as the kids and I walked inside the house.Once the kids saw Kate, they ran to her and hugged her dearly. They began to gist about what happened at school today before they could even sit.I simply walked inside my room.Kate listened to them as though she had no idea about it, whereas she had watched videos of how I bullied a man whose son alleg

Roberto Pov"They are not willing to sell it," Jack, who was seated before me, answered.I had ordered him to buy Classic company. I knew that Lucas would keep appearing before Kate at her workplace. I didn't care what relationship had subsisted between Lucas and Kate or one that subsists at the moment, but as long as Kate was my wife, I wasn't ready to see her with any man."How dare they?" I said angrily and then added, "Tell them that if they don't sell it in three days, I'll shut down the company.""Alright, sir," Jack said and walked away.I wanted to buy the company at twice the amount it was worth, yet they dared not to sell it to me? I was the most powerful man here and hence I could buy whatever I wanted to buy.I stood from my seat and went to lean on my desk, wondering why I broke down before Kate yesterday. I clearly hated her yet I had to pour out my mind to her yesterday. I poured out the secret that I had never poured out to anyone to her. That was weird.I was only in

Kate povIt took another five seconds before he spoke, "She was having sex with another man whose face was covered, yet she had our wedding ring in her hand. It was a ten minute video and it was all full of various sex styles," he stood after saying this."All women are promiscuous and deceitful by default. I can't be surprised anymore. Even my mother betrayed my father..." he said and began to pull off his clothes while I just watched. I didn't know whether I should leave or stay."I'm sorry," I said and he turned to me at once with a very stern look."Do I look like someone that needs your pity? Keep your sorry and don't feel sorry for me. You can leave," he said."If you need someone to talk to, you can...""I said get out," he shouted and I jerked in fear and quickly walked out.So it wasn't just the death of his wife that made him this cold and ruthless? Was it not even worse that the woman had died before he found out that she was cheating on him? There was nobody that he could
