The boardroom still smelled faintly of old paper and steel resolve. Theodore had left for the lounge after breakfast, muttering about reviewing contracts, while Sebastian and Nicolas stayed behind, bent over files that felt heavier with every passing hour.

The revelation about the finances hadn’t left us; it hung in the air like smoke. Money trails, siphoned accounts, sabotage. The web was too wide, too deep—and the name at the center of it was one no one dared speak aloud just yet.

Sebastian’s jaw was tight as he scanned another report, his tie loosened, his sleeves rolled up, the weight of leadership and family pressing on every line of him. Nicolas leaned back in his chair, legs stretched out, pretending at ease but his fingers drummed a restless beat on the armrest.

“This has to be brought to the board,” Nicolas finally said. “Sooner rather than later. If the theft isn’t enough, the sabotage will be. But we’ll need proof stacked to the ceiling. The directors won’t take whi

  • The Billionaire's One-Night Baby   Chapter Hundred Fourteen

    CelesteThe next morning came softly, like the world had decided to move slower after the chaos of yesterday.For the first time in weeks, I woke up not in my small apartment, but in the quiet warmth of Sebastian’s penthouse. The faint scent of coffee drifted through the air, and beside me, sunlight filtered through the glass windows, painting everything in gold.Amara’s laughter echoed from the kitchen, bright and careless — a sound that made my heart ache in the best way.“Daddy, look!” she giggled. “You made a funny face on my pancake!”I smiled before even seeing it. Of course, he did.When I stepped out of the bedroom, the sight waiting for me made my chest tighten. Sebastian was still in his white shirt from earlier, sleeves rolled up, leaning over the counter as Amara sat on a high stool, waving her fork like a wand. His hair was slightly tousled — not CEO-perfect, but real, soft.For a fleeting second, I almost forgot everything that had happened — the danger, the betrayal, th

    CelesteBy the time we arrived at Sebastian’s penthouse, the city had already sunk into its evening glow.The skyline shimmered beyond the tinted windows, gold fading into deep indigo. The elevator ride was silent except for the soft hum of machinery and the steady beating of my heart that refused to calm down.I’d been here before.Months ago—when Sebastian fell sick and I took care of him.Back then, the place had felt too big, too empty, too polished for someone who barely slept or ate. I remembered the quiet hum of the air conditioning, the faint scent of cedar and cologne, and the sound of his breathing echoing through the night as I stayed by his bedside.Now, stepping inside again, it was the same—but different.Amara was here.The moment the door opened, she gasped softly, her small hands clutching her backpack. “Daddy! Look! The lights are so pretty!”Sebastian chuckled quietly behind us, his voice low and warm. “You think so, sweetheart?”“Uh-huh!” she nodded eagerly, runnin

    CelesteThe entire building felt different after Violet was gone.It wasn’t quiet—there was still the faint hum of chatter outside the glass walls, the hurried footsteps of staff trying to process what had just happened—but the air no longer felt poisoned. It was like someone had lifted a curtain of smoke that had been suffocating everyone for months.Still, the weight of what happened pressed on all of us.Back in Sebastian’s office, the lights were dimmer than usual. The late afternoon sun spilled through the tall windows, casting long golden streaks across the marble floor. Nicolas and Tristan sat opposite Sebastian, papers scattered between them—reports, statements, and digital files from the investigation team that had just left.Sebastian was silent for most of it, his expression unreadable as he leaned back in his chair, fingers laced together. But his eyes—sharp, focused—never strayed far from the discussion.Tristan broke the silence first. “She’s in police custody now. Fraud

    CelesteSebastian stepped forward, his expression unreadable. “Are you done?”Violet faltered. “W-what?”“Your performance.”His voice was quiet, but it carried across the entire lobby. Cold. Controlled. Each word deliberate. “Are you done lying?”The silence that followed was thick. People exchanged glances. Some even stopped breathing.Violet blinked rapidly. “Lying? You think anyone will believe you over me? Everyone knows we were together—”“Were,” he cut in, sharply enough to make her flinch. “And even then, I never touched you.”A ripple of gasps ran through the crowd.Violet’s painted composure slipped. “You’re humiliating yourself—”“No,” Sebastian said flatly, “I’m done letting you humiliate this family.”He turned slightly, his gaze sweeping the employees, the directors lingering near the entrance, the curious staff clustered by the reception desk. Then, with a calm that chilled the air, he began.“Since Violet seems so eager to make public announcements, let’s make another

    CelesteThe office no longer felt like a sanctuary of power. It was a cage now, the walls humming with too many secrets, too many eyes waiting for cracks to appear. Nicolas had disappeared two hours ago with a small team, and Sebastian hadn’t moved from his desk since. He sat in silence, the city stretched behind him in blue-grey light, one hand curled loosely around his phone, the other pressed to his jaw as if he could keep the world from collapsing with sheer stillness.Theodore had retired to the adjoining lounge, reading the paper as if he hadn’t just been told someone had tried to kill him. His composure was maddening and impressive in equal measure. Only the faint tightening around his eyes betrayed how much he’d heard, how much he’d understood.When the door opened again, Nicolas walked in. He wasn’t grinning, wasn’t teasing—he carried himself like a man who had just pulled poison out of a vein but knew more infection was waiting.Sebastian looked up immediately. “Tell me.”Ni
