TAMING THE REJECTED SON OF A BILLIONAIREย ย ย CHAPTER 16
The peace Adrian and Grace finally earned felt like a treasure hard-won, and it was worth every moment of celebration. After all the storms they had weatheredโthe schemes, betrayals, and heartbreakโthis calm was something neither of them would take for granted.Adrian planned a grand evening to mark this turning point in their lives. He rented an exclusive rooftop venue overlooking the city skyline, adorned with soft lights, cascading floral arrangements, and a live orchestra playing their favorite songs. It was an intimate affair, meant only for their closest friends and a few trusted allies who had stood by them through the chaos.As Grace walked into the venue, her eyes widened at the sight before her. โAdrianโฆthis is incredible,โ she whispered, her voice laced with awe.Adrian smiled, taking her hand. โNot as incredible as you. You deserve the world, Grace, and this is just the beginning.โThe evening was filled with laughter and warmth. Their friends raised toasts to their resili

Sarahโs obsession took a dark and twisted turn as she concocted a desperate plan to drive a wedge between Adrian and Grace. She was willing to go to any lengths to make Adrian see Grace as a threat to his happiness and shift his attention toward herself.Sarah carefully orchestrated her plan over several weeks. She began by subtly planting doubts about Graceโs loyalty in Adrianโs mind. During meetings or casual conversations, sheโd drop seemingly harmless remarks.โI heard Grace is working late these days,โ Sarah said casually one afternoon. โIt must be tough managing everything. I hope sheโs not overburdening herself... or you.โAdrian would brush it off, but the seed was planted. Sarah knew it wasnโt enough, though. To truly succeed, she needed something dramatic.Sarahโs obsession took a dark and twisted turn as she concocted a desperate plan to drive a wedge between Adrian and Grace.

Grace sat alone in her apartment, her eyes puffy and red from crying. The disbelief and hurt that Adrian had chosen to believe Sarah over her cut deeper than she could have imagined. She replayed the confrontation over and over in her mind, each moment twisting the knife of betrayal further into her heart.โHow could he?โ she whispered to herself, her voice trembling. โAfter everything weโve been throughโฆ how could he not trust me?โHer phone buzzed on the table. It was Adrian, calling again. She stared at the screen, her emotions torn between answering and letting it ring out. Finally, she picked up, her voice cold.โWhat do you want, Adrian?โโGrace, please. We need to talk,โ Adrian said, his tone firm but not apologetic. โI donโt like how things ended earlier.โGrace let out a bitter laugh. โYou donโt like how things ended? Try being the one accused and slapped in front of your fiancรฉ, only for him to take the side of the woman whoโs been trying to destroy her.โโGrace, thatโs not

Adrian stumbled into his apartment in the dead of night, his thoughts a jumbled mess of emotions. The confrontation between Grace and Sarah had left him torn. He poured himself another drink, hoping it would drown the voices in his head."Could Grace really be lying? But Sarahโฆ Sarah wouldnโt do something so vile, would she?" Adrian muttered to himself, downing his glass.Hours later, with bottles strewn across the table, Adrian collapsed onto his bed, too intoxicated to notice anything around him.Meanwhile, Sarah stood outside his apartment, her lips curling into a wicked smile. She had followed him from the bar, knowing this was the perfect opportunity to execute her plan.She let herself in quietly, carrying a small overnight bag. Inside were props for her schemeโa bottle of perfume Grace often wore, a silk scarf, and a phone ready to capture the moment.Adrian barely stirred when Sarah climbed onto the bed beside him. She lay down next to him, draping the scarf across her shoulde

Adrian sat alone in his office, the silence of the room amplifying the weight of his thoughts. The documents on his desk remained untouched, his focus entirely elsewhere. His mind replayed every decision that had led to this pointโevery moment he had chosen to trust Sarah over Grace.He slammed his fist on the desk, rattling the crystal glass of water beside him. โWhat was I thinking?โ he muttered bitterly. โHow could I have been so blind?โHe leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes as the memories came flooding back. Graceโs tearful face when she pleaded with him to believe her. The anger in her voice when she called him out for siding with Sarah. And the worst partโthe cold realization in her eyes as she decided she had no choice but to walk away.Adrian ran his hands through his hair, his heart heavy with regret. Grace had stood by him through the darkest times of his life. She had believed in him when no one else did, supported him when even his own family turned against him. A

Grace winced as the sharp edge of the broken glass she used to cut the ropes grazed her palm. She didnโt care about the painโfreedom was within her grasp. Her heart pounded as she crept toward the warehouse door, every step feeling like a lifetime. She knew Margaretโs men were patrolling, but she had to risk it.As she reached the door, a heavy hand clamped down on her shoulder. She spun around to see one of Margaretโs burly guards towering over her.โWhere do you think youโre going?โ he sneered, his grip tightening.โLet me go!โ Grace shouted, struggling against him.The man yanked her back into the room and shoved her to the ground. Another guard joined him, laughing as they secured her wrists with a zip tie.โDid you really think youโd get away that easily?โ one of them mocked, smirking.โYouโll regret this,โ Grace spat, glaring at them. โAdrian will find me.โThe second guard chuckled darkly. โOh, Iโm sure he will, sweetheart. But not before we make you pay for being so troublesom

Margaret sat in her dimly lit study, her fingers tracing the edges of a photograph of Adrian and Grace. Her lips curled into a bitter sneer as she stared at the glowing faces in the image. The news of Graceโs pregnancy had shaken her to the core, and the implications were too much to ignore.โTheyโre trying to ruin everything Iโve worked for,โ Margaret muttered under her breath, her eyes narrowing. โIf that child is born, Adrian will solidify his position as the heir, and Benson will have no chance. I wonโt let that happen.โShe clenched the photograph tightly before tearing it into shreds. Margaret had always been a woman of schemes, but now her resolve was sharper than ever.Adrian was reviewing a proposal when his assistant, Martin, walked in with an envelope. โSir, this just arrived. Itโs marked urgent.โAdrian frowned as he took the envelope, noting the lack of a return address. He opened it to find a letter and a photograph of Grace entering a clinic. The letter read:"Adrian, a

Grace sat in a dimly lit room, her hands and feet bound, her body aching from the ordeal. Margaretโs voice echoed in her mind, cold and calculating.โYou think youโre special, donโt you?โ Margaret had sneered earlier. โAdrian doesnโt deserve someone like you. And I wonโt let you ruin my plans for Benson.โGrace struggled against her restraints, but they wouldnโt budge. She thought of Adrian, of their love, and of their unborn child. She had to stay strongโfor them.Adrian paced the floor of his study, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. His phone buzzed incessantly with updates from private investigators, but none of the leads panned out.โSheโs gone,โ Adrian whispered, his voice breaking. He slammed his fist on the desk, scattering papers. โHow can someone vanish like this?โFredrick, his trusted friend, placed a hand on his shoulder. โWeโll find her, Adrian.

The Williams estate had never looked so magnificent. Golden lanterns lined the garden pathways, casting a warm glow as the grand celebration unfolded. A cool evening breeze carried the scent of fresh roses and jasmine, blending with the melodies of a live orchestra playing in the background. Guests dressed in the finest attire mingled, their glasses clinking in joyous toasts.This was a night of celebrationโnot just for wealth and success, but for truth, redemption, and love.At the heart of the event, Mr. William stood beside Grace, his eyes gleaming with pride as he raised a glass to address the guests.โTonight, we honor not just a lost daughter, but a strong woman who fought for her place in this family. Grace, my child, welcome home.โApplause erupted. Grace swallowed the lump in her throat, overwhelmed by the acceptance she had craved all her life. She glanced at Adrian, who gave her an encouraging nod, his hand firmly holding hers.She stepped forward, her voice steady but emot

As the night continued, laughter and celebration filled the air. Grace basked in the warmth of her newfound family, unaware of the danger lurking just outside the estate.Diana stood in the shadows, her eyes never leaving Grace. She held the USB drive tightly in her palm, her mind racing through her plan. She had spent weeks gathering fabricated evidence, working with her accomplice to create a scandal that would ruin Graceโs image before she could fully settle into her new life.Beside her, the mysterious man smirked. โAre you sure you want to do this now? Sheโs got a lot of support.โDianaโs lips curled into a sinister grin. โThatโs exactly why we have to do it now. The higher she climbs, the harder sheโll fall.โInside the grand ballroom, Grace felt a vibration against her palm. She glanced down at her phone and saw an unknown number flashing on the screen.Frowning, she excused herself from the crowd and stepped onto the balcony, pressing the phone to her ear.โHello?โA deep voic

The night was eerily silent as Adrian and Grace arrived at the old estate. The grand mansion, once filled with warmth and laughter, now stood as a dark shadow of its past. The wind howled through the broken windows, sending an unsettling chill down Graceโs spine.Adrian squeezed her hand. โStay close to me. If anything seems off, we leave.โGrace nodded, her heart pounding. She had spent so long uncovering the truth, and now, she was moments away from facing the woman who had tormented her family.They pushed open the heavy wooden doors and stepped inside. The grand hall was dimly lit by flickering chandeliers, their light barely piercing the darkness. At the far end, a lone figure stoodโMargret.She turned slowly, a wicked smile playing on her lips. โYou actually came. I knew you would.โAdrian took a step forward, his eyes locked on her. โCut the games, Margret. You wanted us here. Now talk.โMargret let out a low chuckle, her eyes gleaming with malice. โYou think youโve won, donโt

As the night of celebration came to an end, Grace and Adrian returned home, unaware of the dark clouds gathering around them. Grace, exhausted from the whirlwind of emotions, settled into Adrianโs arms."Tonight was perfect," she murmured, running her fingers through his hair.Adrian smiled, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "It was, but we both know peace never lasts long with people like Benson and Margret lurking around."Grace sighed. "I just wish, for once, theyโd let us live our lives."Adrian tightened his hold around her. "Whatever theyโre planning, weโll face it together."Meanwhile, Benson was far from done. He stormed into Margretโs suite, his jaw tight with frustration."What the hell were you thinking, siding with those men? Do you even realize the mess youโre dragging me into?"Margret remained calm, sipping her wine. "I know exactly what Iโm doing, Benson. Youโre the one who doesnโt understand the game."Bensonโs eyes darkened. "You still think you can outsmart Adrian an

That evening, Grace arrived at the dimly lit cafรฉ where Brenda had asked to meet her. The air was thick with the scent of freshly brewed coffee, but Grace had no appetite for itโher instincts screamed that something was off.Brenda was already seated in a corner booth, her hands wrapped around a cup of tea. When she saw Grace, her lips curled into a smile, but her eyes held something unreadable."You actually came," Brenda murmured, gesturing for Grace to sit.Grace slid into the seat, keeping her posture guarded. "You said you had something to tell me."Brenda sighed dramatically. "Oh, Grace, you have no idea whatโs been happening behind your back. Your so-called family? They were never looking for you. They were looking for someone they could control. Thatโs why Iโ"She stopped abruptly, catching herself.Grace narrowed her eyes. "You what, Brenda?"Brenda leaned forward, her expression suddenly desperate. "I was supposed to be the one. I was supposed to be their daughter, Grace. Bu

As the glamorous gala continued, the hall was filled with laughter, music, and celebration. Grace had finally found her true placeโwith a family that cherished her, a husband who adored her, and a life free of the deception that had tried to tear her down.But not everyone was happy.From the far end of the hall, a pair of eyes burned with resentment, watching Grace bask in her newfound happiness.The woman who had pretended to be the lost Lennox daughterโClaraโhad been exposed, humiliated, and dragged away by the police just days before. However, her hatred for Grace had only intensified behind bars.And she wasn't the only one.At the back of the estate, where the celebration lights barely reached, a black car was parked discreetly. Inside, a figure sat in the driver's seat, tapping his fingers against the steering wheel impatiently."Sheโs glowing like a damn queen," he muttered, watching Grace through a pair of binoculars. His face twisted with hatred. "That should have been Clara

The Lennox estate was no longer a place of peaceโit had become a battlefield. Isabella wasted no time asserting herself as the "rightful" heir, basking in the attention and respect she believed she deserved. She walked through the grand halls like a queen, flashing a smug smile whenever she passed Grace.Eleanor, unable to accept this sudden revelation, grew withdrawn. She barely ate, and the sorrow in her eyes broke Alexanderโs heart. Adrian, on the other hand, was restless. His gut told him something was wrong, and he wasnโt going to let Isabellaโs smug face fool him.One evening, as Adrian sat in his office combing through the DNA reports again, something caught his eye."This doesnโt make sense," he murmured.The report bore the name of a reputable lab, but something about the formatting feltโฆ off. He compared it to an old DNA report from the same lab and noticed slight inconsistencies in the font, structure, and signature placement.His heart pounded. Could Isabella have forged t

The room fell into an unbearable silence as Graceโs mind reeled with the truth. Her pulse was racing, her hands trembling. She looked at Eleanor, the woman claiming to be her mother, then at Alexander, who had a commanding presence that reminded her so much of Adrianโs father.โI donโt know what to say,โ Grace admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.Eleanor took a cautious step forward, her eyes desperate and hopeful. โI donโt expect you to accept this immediately, my love. I just want a chance. A chance to prove to you that I never stopped loving you.โGraceโs jaw clenched. โIf you loved me so much, why didnโt you fight for me? Why did you let my grandmother raise me all these years while I struggled, thinking I had no one but her?โEleanorโs tears spilled over. โI tried, Grace. Believe me, I tried. I searched for you for years, but your grandmother ensured that every trace of you was erased. She made sure that you would never find out about me, and by the time I discovered where

As Adrian left the prison, Margret slammed her fists against the table, seething with rage. She had counted on Adrianโs fearโhis desperation to protect his familyโto make him surrender. But now, she was trapped.Derrick entered, shaking his head. โYou should have kept your mouth shut, Margret.โShe shot him a glare. โIโm not done yet. Thereโs always another way.โDerrick sighed. โNot this time. Adrian already countered your blackmail. The legal team got ahead of the story, and Williamโs company released a statement proving all the shady deals were your doing, not Adrianโs.โMargretโs blood ran cold. โThatโs impossible.โDerrick smirked. โWilliam knew youโd try something like this. He had a contingency plan. Every illegal deal was traced back to you. Youโre the only one facing charges.โMargretโs body slumped in the chair. โNoโฆ No, this isnโt how it was supposed to end.โDerrick leaned in, his voice dripping with satisfaction. โOh, but it is, Margret.
