Alex’s pov

“Alexander Veyron”

“I never thought I would see you again after you declined all my invitations,” Victor Ballmer said, his voice flat but heavy enough to cut through the space between us. His gaze travel over me, like he wanted to strip me bare. “Imagine my surprise when my secretary gets a call from one of your people asking for a meeting.”

“Victor Ballmer, Its being long” I growled stepping into his office.

Victor’s lips curled into that lazy smile. “Not that long. I heard you got

  • The Billionaire’s Forbidden Desire(One contract. One rule)   Chapter 121: Epilogue

    Alex’s pov My office doesn’t look like mine anymore. Not that it will be mine much longer, today being the last day for me as the CEO. For ten years this space has been steel, glass, neutral tones and no hint of softness. Deals were made here. Enemies were dismantled here. I built an empire from this room. Today it looks like a dream someone else had. Definitely not mine. Interior decorators have turned it into something…..warmer. Soft amber lights hidden along the ceiling, white roses layered with deep green foliage with a string of quartet tucked into one corner, quietly tuning. Champagne chills in silver buckets and my was table is pushed back to make space. It feels like I’m standing inside a risk. Which shouldn’t be a problem because I live for risks……but this was different. My palms are damp as I adjusted my cufflinks for the fifth time in ten minutes and checked my watch even though I knew the time. I start to pace. Voices drift in and out as people arrive. Friends, F

    Ethan’s pov“Of course I don’t, why is that a surprise?” William asks.“Well dad, you have always been set in your old ways. You did call Dominic a freak show when you found out he was gay and I thought that's why you never liked Alex." Helena reminds him.“I called him a freak show because he was gay and married to my only daughter while cheating on her with half the city. That was betrayal, not sexuality. And I never hated Alex, it was purely business”I heard nothing else they said because I was literally having a panic attack. I couldn't breathe and my body was getting hotter by the minute.“What about me?” I hear Lena ask. “Is Mr. Stallin my father too?”My mother laughs lightly. “Oh, sweetheart. No. You’re Havelock’s. Or one of the other men I was seeing back then, It's hard to keep track.”“Oh my God,” Lena groans and turns walking towards the dining area. “What a wonderful family we have.”“Ohhh don’t give me that face,” my mother continues, ignoring her, “This is a family reu

    Ethan’s pov“Him?” I say incredulously. “No way.”“You can’t be serious Ivy,” William said. “We always used protection, I made sure of that.”“Yeah, remember the night your boys threw you a going away party? You came to my place drunk?” My mother digs through her bag bringing out another pack of cigarettes. “We didn’t use protection then, did we? I didn’t find out myself till I was three weeks gone.” “It was just the one time. You’re certain?”She shrugged. “The timing matched. You and I were together that whole month. Havelock was never faithful enough to count days properly. He didn’t question it. At least not at first.”“At first,” I echoed.“He started to doubt when you grew older,” she went on, as if narrating a family recipe. “You didn’t look like him or built like him. He would stare at you sometimes like you were a stain he couldn’t scrub out.”The memories slammed into me. His cold eyes, the way he would grip my chin too tight. The way he would say, “You’re not right,” like

    Ethan’s pov To me……My mother is dead to me, that's what I should have said. Why now though?Why now, of all days. After all that has happened, after I finally feel like I can breathe freely without bracing for impact, she chose to show her face.“Mum is here?” Lena asks, her voice filled with surprise. “Are you sure?”The staff member nods carefully. “That’s what she said, Miss.”“It can’t be her,” I say automatically. My throat feels dry. “She would never show her face after all these years. How would she even know I live here?”“She must have seen you in the news,” Lena says. “Oh, that must be it. You were everywhere and maybe she wants money now that you are living like royalty.”“I don’t want to see her.”Lena turns to me, her expression softening. “We need to see her. Let us at least hear her out.”“Come onLena. You can’t do this to yourself again, she is just as selfish as dad. There is nothing she can say I'm interested in hearing.” I turn to the staff. “Send her away.”“Wait

    Alex’s povI paused as his words hit me like a punch. “What are you talking about?”.William pauses and for a fraction of a second, he looks as though he has said too much. His gaze flickers toward my mother.“Mum,” I say sharply. “What is he talking about?” She looks nervous, an expression I haven’t seen on her face in years. “Mum!” “Alexander,” she says softly, stepping toward me, “I didn’t tell you because you loved him so much. You idolized him and after he died, you were shattered. I couldn’t bear to ruin his memory for you.” “Ruin what memory?” My voice rises. “What are you talking about?”“Your father wasn’t the saint you believe him to be,” William says bluntly. “He embezzled funds, retirement funds. Men who worked for him for decades were left with nothing because he siphoned money to cover reckless investments.”“That’s a lie,” I say immediately."It’s documented," William replies. “He made high risk acquisitions to hide the losses. When those failed, the company was near

    Alex’s pov“My baby boy. You haven’t called me in a while.”My mother’s voice is soft, almost playful, like we are meeting after a missed lunch and not after years of silence.“I have been busy, thanks to your husband. I’m sure he mentioned that during one of your pillow talks.”Her lips twitch and she rolls her eyes as she steps forward anyway. Before I can brace for it, her arms are around me.“Oh, Alexander,” she murmurs, pulling back only to cup my face. “Do you enjoy frightening me? Guns? Warehouses? Blood? Is that how you prove you’re a man now?”She clucks under her breath, brushing her fingers over my cheek, my shoulder. “You think I carried you for nine months so you could throw yourself in front of bullets?”“I didn’t throw myself in front of anything,” I say stiffly.“You were almost killed,” she snaps. “That’s close enough.”Her hands tremble against my jaw. I let her fuss, let her smooth my collar and inspect the faint scar at my wrist. My relationship with her has been n

My hands gripped his hips tighter, pulling him towards me with every thrust. The headboard of the bed slammed into the wall, the sound fi
