The Billionaire's Hidden Heir CHAPTER 10: THE DNA ON HIS DESK
Elena's hand was shaking so badly she almost knocked over the coffee on Alexander Sterling's mahogany desk.The white envelope shouldn't be there.It was too clean. Too innocent-looking. But Elena knew that handwriting on the front - that shaky cursive that wrote "FOR ALEXANDER STERLING - PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL."It was Mrs. Carter.Mrs. Carter, the retired nurse from St. Mary's Private Hospital. The only person on earth who knew what really happened five years ago after the Sterling Foundation Gala. The only person who helped Elena disappear that night when she realized she was pregnant and Alexander was already engaged to Victoria Beaumont."Your 9 AM is here," her assistant, Mia, whispered from the doorway, holding the envelope like it was a bomb. "Mrs. Carter left this at reception. She said you must give it to Mr. Sterling today. She said... she said the boy deserves to know his father before it's too late."Elena's blo
The Billionaire's Hidden Heir Chapter 9: The Woman who Stole My Life
Happiness in the penthouse lasted exactly 47 minutes.Sophia knew because she checked the clock on the gold wall. 7:03 AM - Ethan was kissing her. 7:50 AM - Lily was eating pancakes shaped like stars while Ethan showed her how billionaires make coffee with a machine that looked like a spaceship.And at 7:50 AM, the private elevator dinged.Ethan didn't look up. Only three people had the code to his private elevator. His assistant, his best friend, and his mother.The doors opened.Margaret Blackwood walked in like she owned the 51 floors, because technically she did own 30% of them. Perfect hair, perfect pearls, perfect cold face. She was 60 but looked 45, the kind of rich woman who never sweats.Her eyes scanned the kitchen. Lily in Ethan's oversized t-shirt, syrup on her face. Sophia in her cheap nightgown, hair messy from kissing. Ethan in pajama pants, barefoot, laughing.Margaret's perfect face cracked.
The Billionaire's Hidden Heir Chapter 8: The kiss He waited Five Years For
Morning in the penthouse did not feel like morning in Queens.In Queens, morning was alarm at 5 AM, cold water, Lily crying for cereal, running for the bus.In the castle 51 floors up, morning was sunlight pouring through glass walls like gold, no alarm, the smell of pancakes, and Lily still asleep on Ethan's chest, drooling.Sophia woke up slowly, confused. Her head was on something hard, warm, moving up and down. Boom-boom. Heartbeat.Not hers.She opened her eyes.Ethan Blackwood's bare chest. She was sleeping on Ethan Blackwood's chest. On the other side of him, Lily was still asleep, tiny hand fisted in his shirt.Oh my God.Sophia sat up so fast she almost fell off the castle bed.Ethan's eyes opened instantly. Blue, alert, even half-asleep he looked like a CEO who never truly sleeps."Morning," he said, his voice rough from sleep, sexy and low, making Sophia's stomach do things it h
The Billionaire's Hidden Heir Chapter 7: The Thunderstorm
Sophia woke up to thunder.Not the sound. The shaking.Lily was trembling in her arms, her little face buried in Sophia's chest, her blonde curls damp with sweat, her whole body shaking like a leaf."Mommy, boom boom scare Lily," she whimpered, her voice tiny, broken.The penthouse windows were rattling. New York was having one of those violent late summer storms, rain lashing the glass 51 floors up, lightning turning the giant living room white every few seconds. The palace in the sky was suddenly scary.Sophia held her tighter, humming the lullaby she always sang in their little studio when thunder came - the one about the brave little mouse who wasn't scared of anything. In the studio, the thunder was muffled by thin walls and noisy neighbors. Here, in glass and marble, it was everywhere."It's okay, baby, it's okay, Mommy here, brave mouse here—" she whispered, rocking her.But Lily wasn't calming. She had alway
The Billionaire's Hidden Heir Chapter 6 : The First Night In The Castle
The castle had too many rooms.Lily counted them. Or tried to. She got to seventeen before she got lost and ended up back in the giant kitchen where her mother was sitting on a stool that was too tall, her cheap waitress uniform looking wrong against the marble island that cost more than four years of her rent.Sophia hadn't spoken since she said "Yes, we can stay." She was holding a glass of water Ethan had given her with hands that wouldn't stop shaking. The water was from a bottle that probably cost $20. Everything in this penthouse was too expensive, too clean, too perfect for a girl like her who still had $42.18 in her bank account.Ethan was in his walk-in closet, on the phone with his lawyers, his voice low but furious, saying words like "revoke," "freeze," and "restraining order." Even when he was destroying his mother for them, he sounded like a king giving orders."Ethan Blackwood is not a man you say no to, Sophia," she remembered his m
The Billionaire's Hidden Heir Chapter 5 : Confronting The Devil
The private elevator didn't go down. It went up. Sophia clutched Lily tighter as the elevator rose one more floor, to the 51st floor - a floor that didn't even exist on the public buttons, a floor that only Ethan's fingerprint could access. The doors opened directly into a home. No, not a home. A palace in the sky. Floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere, marble floors so clean Lily could see her reflection, a giant kitchen with an island bigger than Sophia's entire studio apartment, toys that had never been touched still in boxes in the corner, as if someone had bought them hoping a child would one day come. "This... this is your house?" Sophia whispered, her voice echoing in the huge, empty, cold space. It was beautiful, but it was lonely. Like its owner had been lonely for five years. "Our house," Ethan corrected, setting Lily down gently. Lily immediately ran to the windows, her tiny hands pressed
