BOOK TWO - Chapter 16: Financial Sabotage

Penulis: Sire Bliss
last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-06-14 12:43:05

~ JESSICA POV ~

Five AM meetings have become my specialty—early enough that the building's practically empty, late enough that the night security guards have gotten used to seeing Victoria Sterling burning the midnight oil.

My fingers drum against the mahogany conference table as I stare at the stack of documents spread before me. Halgate Group's most sensitive financial data, courtesy of Marcus's continued... cooperation. Poor bastard doesn't even realize he's been feeding me intelligence for months now.

The merger details are all here. Every contract, every subsidiary deal, every goddamn penny that flows through Michael's precious empire. But it's this one deal—the Oceanic Holdings acquisition worth five hundred million—that's going to be their undoing.

My phone buzzes. This time it's Marcus: *Can we meet later? Something's bothering me about the Oceanic projections.*

My jaw clenches. Marcus is getting too curious, asking too many questions about discrepancies that shouldn't exist.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR    BOOK TWO - Chapter 22: Marcus's Seduction

    ~ Jessica POV ~The soft lighting of the wine bar cast shadows across Marcus's weathered face as I leaned forward, my fingers brushing against his hand wrapped around his glass. "You seem tense tonight," I murmured, letting concern color my voice as Victoria Sterling—the woman who'd never existed until I needed her to. Marcus saw beauty where Michael's loyal dog once sat. He saw a victim where a predator circled.Marcus's shoulders sagged, and I felt the familiar thrill of watching someone break exactly where I wanted them to. "Work's been... challenging lately. Michael's been making decisions that don't make sense. Risky moves that could hurt the company."*Perfect.* I tilted my head, letting my rebuilt features arrange themselves into the perfect expression of sympathy. "You've been with him for what—Twenty years? That must be heartbreaking, watching someone you respect make those kinds of choices.""Twenty three years." His voice cracked slightly, and I had to suppress a smile. T

  • THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR    BOOK TWO - Chapter 21: Austin's Recovery

    ~ Austin POV ~"The physical therapy sessions are going well, but we need to discuss the psychological impact."Dr. Martinez's voice cuts through the sterile hospital air as she flips through my chart. I'm sitting on the edge of the bed, hospital gown hanging loose around my shoulders, and every muscle in my body screams when I try to straighten up."What kind of psychological impact?" Mom's voice is tight, controlled. She's been like this for days—wound so tight I'm afraid she might snap."Memory fragmentation is common with traumatic brain injuries. Austin may have gaps, or certain memories might feel... disconnected from reality."I watch Dad's jaw clench. He's been doing that a lot lately. "But his long-term memory is intact?""Yes, Mr. Walton. Family memories, childhood experiences—those appear unaffected. It's more about the trauma itself and the weeks leading up to it."The thing is, I remember everything about my family. I remember Alex teaching me chess when we were eight. I

  • THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR    BOOK TWO - Chapter 20: Hospital Vigil

    ~ Micheal POV ~The ambulance doors slam shut behind us, metal echoing like a gunshot through the emergency bay. My hands shake as I watch the paramedics wheel Austin through the automatic doors, his face pale as death under the harsh fluorescent lights."Sir, you'll need to—" A nurse tries to stop me."That's my son." The words tear from my throat, raw and desperate. "Austin Walton. He's my son."She steps aside, but I can already see them disappearing around a corner. The antiseptic smell hits me like a slap—that sterile, chemical scent that means pain and fear and things going wrong.*Jessica did this, Again*The thought burns through my chest like acid. I know it in my bones, the same way I know my own name. This wasn't an accident. That bitch came back from whatever hole she crawled into and went after my boy."Michael!" Aria's voice cuts through the chaos. She's running toward me, her hair wild, mascara streaked down her cheeks. "Where is he? How bad—""They took him back." I ca

  • THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR    BOOK TWO - Chapter 19: Second Blood

    *Few Days Later*~ Jessica POV ~The champagne bubbles tickled my throat as I watched Aria’s family through the restaurant window. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.Tina's hands had shaken when she'd handed over those delicious details about Austin's schedule. The little gambling addict had folded so beautifully at the casino—all it took was a stack of her debt receipts and a few photos of her at those high-stakes tables, and some little cash to get her going.Elizabeth had been useless, of course. The old bat's mind was gone, floating somewhere between reality and whatever medication they'd pumped into her. I'd tried working that angle first, but you can't manipulate someone who can't remember your face five minutes after you leave. Waste of perfectly good plastic surgery.But Tina? Tina was my golden ticket straight into Aria's inner circle.My phone buzzed. Right on schedule."It's done," came the gruff voice. "Kid's car will have a little... malfunction... on Riverside Drive. Brake lin

  • THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR    BOOK TWO - Chapter 18: Tina's Betrayal

    ~ Tina POV ~"Ma'am, another drink?" The cocktail waitress leaned over my shoulder, her voice cutting through the casino's relentless chiming and clicking.I didn't look up from the blackjack table. Couldn't. My hands were shaking too badly, and I needed them steady for the next hand. "Whiskey. Double."The cards blurred in front of me. Twenty-three thousand down in two hours. Jesus Christ, Tina. What are you doing?"Rough night?" The woman beside me spoke with practiced sympathy, the kind dealers and bartenders perfected. I glanced sideways—elegant, late thirties maybe, perfectly styled hair that caught the casino lights. She looked expensive. Out of place next to my wrinkled blouse and mascara-streaked cheeks."You could say that." I tried to keep my voice steady, but it cracked anyway. The dealer slid another card across the felt. Bust. Again.Another five hundred gone.The blonde woman made a soft tsking sound. "Money troubles?"I laughed, but it came out bitter and hollow. "Somet

  • THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR    BOOK TWO - Chapter 17: Interrogation

    The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead like angry wasps. I smoothed my navy blazer—Victoria Sterling always dressed impeccably—and crossed my legs at the ankle. The metal chair was cold against my back, but I kept my expression serene. Concerned. The perfect picture of a philanthropist wrongly accused.Detective Morrison looked tired. Dark circles under his eyes, coffee stains on his white shirt. Good. Tired cops made mistakes."Ms. Sterling, thank you for coming in voluntarily." He set a manila folder on the scratched table between us. "I know this is... inconvenient.""Of course, Detective." I folded my hands in my lap. "Anything I can do to help clear up this terrible misunderstanding about the Children's Future Foundation. It breaks my heart to see Aria Campbell's charity dragged through the mud like this."His pen clicked. Once. Twice. "You've been quite generous with your donations. Twenty-five thousand just last month.""Children are our future." I let my voice catch slightly.
