Taming the Ruthless Billionaire CHAPTER 17 THE MAN WHO WAS NEVER HER FATHER
“Adrian isn't your father.” Serena stared at her mother. For a moment, the words didn't make sense. She looked at Adrian, the man who had shown her photographs, presented hospital documents, and claimed to have spent years searching for her. Then she looked at her mother. “Mom… what are you saying?” Her mother stepped forward, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I'm sorry, sweetheart.” Serena shook her head. “No. You don't get to say that again. I need the truth.” Richard Sterling stood behind her mother, his silver hair neatly combed and his expression disturbingly calm. Beside him was Sebastian. The young man Serena had been told was her twin brother. He looked exactly like the photograph Isabella had shown her. His eyes were fixed on Serena, but there was no warmth in them. Adrian moved toward Serena. “Don't listen to them.” Richard smiled. “Still pretending to be the hero, Adrian?” Adrian's face hardened. “Shut your mouth, Richard.” “Careful. You're standing in m
Taming the Ruthless Billionaire CHAPTER 16 THE TWIN WHO WAS NEVER FOUND
“Your brother.” Serena stared at Adrian. The photograph on her phone showed two newborn babies lying beside each other in a hospital crib. One wore a silver bracelet. The other wore a tiny crescent-moon pendant. She looked at the photograph again. Then at Adrian. “You're telling me I have a twin brother?” Adrian nodded slowly. “Yes.” “And you knew about him?” His silence answered her. Serena stepped backward. “You knew?” “I suspected he survived.” “You suspected?” Her voice rose. “You just told me that I had a brother, and all you can say is that you suspected he survived?” “Serena, please listen.” “No! I've spent my entire life believing I was an only child. I grew up thinking Daniel was my father. Then I discovered he might not be. Now you're telling me I have a twin brother who may have tried to kill me?” Adrian looked toward the street. “We need to leave.” “Stop saying that!” “Someone knows we're here.” “Then tell me the truth before we go anywhere!” Adrian cl
Taming the Ruthless Billionaire CHAPTER 15 THE STRANGER WHO CALLED HER DAUGHTER
“Hello, my daughter.” The words echoed through the abandoned train station. Serena stood completely still. For several seconds, she couldn't move, couldn't speak, and couldn't even look away from the stranger standing near the entrance. He was probably in his late forties or early fifties. His dark hair was beginning to turn silver around the temples. He wore an expensive charcoal coat, and his face carried the kind of confidence that came from a lifetime of getting what he wanted. But it wasn't his appearance that frightened Serena. It was his eyes. They looked exactly like hers. The same shape. The same deep brown color. Even the small crease beneath his left eye seemed familiar. She had seen those eyes before. In the mirror. In old photographs. And perhaps in dreams she could barely remember. “Who are you?” she finally whispered. The man took one careful step forward. “My name is Adrian Vale.” Serena frowned. “Why did you call me your daughter?” His expression sof
Taming the Ruthless Billionaire CHAPTER 14 THE FATHER WHO NEVER DIED
Serena couldn't move. Her eyes remained fixed on the photograph displayed on her phone. A little girl in a yellow dress stood outside a hospital, holding a stuffed rabbit. Beside her was a man whose face had been partially hidden. Her father. Daniel Alvarado. The photograph was dated three years after the night he supposedly disappeared. Three years. Not three months. Not a few days. Three years. For a moment, Serena forgot how to breathe. “Your father is alive.” The words from the unknown sender repeated inside her mind. She wanted to believe them. More than anything, she wanted them to be true. But another message had followed. If Alexander finds him first, he will kill him. Serena slowly raised her eyes. Alexander was standing in front of her. “What happened?” he asked. She quickly locked her phone. “Nothing.” His eyebrows drew together. “Serena.” “I'm tired. That's all.” He studied her face. “You're a terrible liar.” “Maybe I learned from the people around

“Tell her why you had to shoot him.” Serena stood frozen. Her mother's words seemed to hang in the air, heavier than the silence that followed. She slowly turned toward Alexander. He was sitting on the hospital bed, one hand pressed against his bandaged side. His face had become unreadable, but his eyes betrayed him. He wasn't surprised. He was afraid. “Alexander,” Serena whispered. He looked at her. “Tell me she's lying.” He said nothing. “Tell me Isabella is lying. Tell me you didn't shoot my father.” Alexander lowered his eyes. Serena felt her stomach twist. “Answer me!” “I fired the gun,” he finally said. Her knees almost gave way. “No…” “But I didn't kill your father.” She stared at him. “You expect me to believe that?” “I know how it sounds.” “How it sounds?” Serena laughed bitterly. “You just admitted that you fired the gun that killed my father!” “I said I fired it. I didn't say I killed him.” “Then explain!” Alexander looked t
Taming the Ruthless Billionaire CHAPTER 12 THE MOTHER WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER
“It was me.” The words echoed inside the abandoned building. Serena stared at her mother, unable to understand what she had just heard. Her mother was crying. Her hands trembled as she reached for Serena, but Serena stepped backward. “No.” “Serena, sweetheart—” “No!” Serena's voice broke. “Don't call me that. Tell me you didn't just say what I think you said.” Her mother lowered her head. “I shot your father.” Serena shook her head repeatedly. “Why?” Her mother couldn't answer. “WHY?” The question came out as a scream. Alexander stood between them and the monitor, his expression tense. He looked as though he wanted to intervene, but he knew this was something Serena needed to hear. Her mother covered her mouth. “I never wanted you to find out this way.” “Then how did you want me to find out? When? When I was older? When you were dying? Or were you planning to take this secret to your grave?” “Please, Serena. Let me explain.” “Explain what? That you killed the man I
