The Billionaire’s $500,000 baby Chapter 21: The Morning After
Liora’s POVI woke up because the sun was being too loud…Yeah I know that sounds stupid. But that is exactly how it felt.A single, sharp beam of light was hitting me right in the eye…I tried to roll over, but the bed was too soft. I felt like I was being swallowed by a giant marshmallow.I forgot where I was for a second. I thought I smelled the grease of the diner.Then I felt the silk.Oh Right. I’m a prisoner.I sat up too fast. My head spun. The room was exactly as it was last night.Perfect….Cold.The little red light on the camera was gone. Now it was just a dull black eye watching me."Asshole," I muttered.I looked at the nightstand. There was a piece of heavy paper sitting next to the black phone.The handwriting was sharp and It looked like the person who wrote it didn't have time.Rules for the Estate:1. 07:00: Breakfast is served in the West Dining Nook.2. 08:00: Medical vitals and nutritional intake.3. 09:00 – 12:00: Personal time (West Wing Gardens).4. 12:00: Lunc

Liora’s POVThe bathroom was so big. The echo of the running water sounded like a waterfall in a cave…I stripped off the pink uniform and left it in a wet heap on the heated marble floor. I hated that dress, but seeing it lie there felt like seeing a dead friend. It was the last thing that belonged to my old life.I scrubbed my skin until it was red. I wanted the smell of the diner and the grease and the rain gone, but when I finally stepped out of the tub, I felt even more exposed.I walked into the bedroom. The maids had left a dress on the bed. It was deep emerald silk. I touched the fabric. It was cool and felt like water. When I put it on, I realized something that made my stomach twist: it fit perfectly. They didn't just guess. They knew my height, my waist, the width of my shoulders. They had measured me before I even knew they existed.A quiet knock sounded at the door. One of the stone-faced maids brought in a tray of food…steak, asparagus, and some kind of sparkling water.

The iron gates didn't just close,they hissed. It was a heavy, hydraulic sound that made my stomach drop. I turned around in my seat to look through the rear window. The bars were thick and black, cutting off the road, the trees, and the world I used to live in.I was inside now.The car moved slowly up a long, winding driveway. The gravel crunched under the tires. On both sides, there were rolling lawns that looked like they were trimmed with a pair of scissors. Everything was too perfect. It made me feel even messier. I looked at the mud on my sneakers and the way my pink uniform was stuck to my skin. I felt like a bug that had accidentally crawled onto a wedding cake."We’re here," Xavier said.The house appeared out of the mist. It wasn't really a house. It was a fortress of grey stone and dark glass. It looked old and angry. There were hundreds of windows, but none of them showed any light. It looked like a place where people lived in the shadows.The car stopped in front of a sid

Liora’s POVThe car hummed. It was a low, expensive vibration that felt like it was trying to lull me to sleep, but I was too wired to close my eyes. I sat as far away from Xavier as I could, pressed against the door, watching the city turn into a blur of grey and black."Is the hospital still reporting?" I asked. My voice sounded small in the leather-scented cabin…Xavier didn't look up from his tablet. "Stable, Liora. I told you. Results are being managed. The surgeons won't leave the room until she's out of the woods.""Stable," I whispered. I looked at my reflection in the window. My hair was drying into a frizzy, tangled mess. My uniform was damp and smelled like old dishwater and rain. I was the opposite of stable. I felt like I was falling apart."You should try to rest," Xavier said. He finally looked at me, and for a second, I thought I saw a flicker of something…maybe just basic concern. "It’s a long drive. And the intake tonight won't be easy.""The mapping?" I asked. The

Darian’s POVI watched the elevator doors slide shut. The black velvet swallowed her pink uniform and her messy, matted hair. The silence that followed was heavy, broken only by the hum of my computer and the distant rhythm of the rain hitting the glass.I picked up the silver pen. It was still warm from her hand.I felt a surge of triumph. It was the same feeling I got when I closed a billion-dollar merger or crushed a competitor into bankruptcy. I had her. I had the daughter of Daniel Hayes signed, sealed, and delivered. My father would be pleased. The "Legacy Clause" was finally being addressed.But the triumph felt... different. Tainted.I walked over to the desk and looked at the signature. It was elegant. Even with the smudge from her tear, even with her hand shaking so hard I could hear the pen vibrating against the wood, the letters were clear. She had a spine. Daniel had taught her that much, at least.Daniel Hayes. The man had been a ghost in my father’s stories for years
The Billionaire’s $500,000 baby Chapter 16: The Golden Handcuffs
POV: Liora HayesThe pen felt like it weighed a thousand pounds as I finally let it go. It rolled across the desk with a tiny, metallic clicking sound. I stared at the paper. My name looked messy. It looked like a scream caught in ink. It was official…I had just traded my life for a heart that was still beating in a hospital three miles away.Darian didn’t waste a second. He didn’t offer me a tissue for the tear that had ruined his paper. He didn’t say he was sorry. He just reached over my shoulder and snatched the folder away.He picked up the phone on his desk."Wire it," he said. No greeting. No "please." Just a command. "The Hayes account is under Volkov protection now. Tell the surgeons they have the green light. I want a status report every thirty minutes."He hung up.Just like that, the world shifted. I felt a strange, hollow relief in my gut. The debt was gone. The landlord couldn't touch us. The hospital wouldn't kick her out. But as I stood there, shivering in my wet pink u
