The evening sun shone through the glass walls of Eric’s luxury loft. Everything tasted sour to Eric ever since he found out about Alex’s boy.

Sienna stood by the window, one heel off, twirling the stem of her glass as Eric reviewed something on his tablet.

She turned slightly, eyes glittering. “You saw the news about Sophia Bunnet, didn’t you?”

Eric didn’t look up. “Heartbreak makes even the strongest people look and act stupid. She’s primed.”

She chuckled, soft and venomous. “She was always too emotional. When a woman puts a man in the center of her orbit, she self-destroys herself. Vice versa.”

He finally looked at her. “Let’s hope Alex does the same.”

Sienna walked over, graceful, and perched on the arm of his chair. “You really think it’s time to go after him? The golden boy? Everyone loves Alex Knight except one Eric Knight,” grinning wickedly.

“Exactly why we start now.” Eric leaned back, fingers laced behind his head. “When the world thinks you’re untouchable, the tinies

    Anna hurried into Alex’s office, as though the anonymous shadow was right on her heels, fear for Maya pressing hard against her chest.Alex stood by the window, his phone pressed to his ear, his voice low and commanding, leaving no room for arguments. Anna froze at the door, her pulse racing. He had the power and resources to save Maya, but admitting the truth meant exposing the messages and the file in her possession.Not speaking up, while Maya might be in danger, felt reckless. Panic squeezed her lungs. She had to make a choice fast. She couldn’t let anyone hurt Maya because of her.As she stood there, torn, her phone buzzed again in her hand. This time, a voice note from Maya.Anna’s shaking hands pressed play.“Anna… they’re here.” Maya’s voice was low, shaky, like someone barely breathing.Anna’s fingers went cold.A man’s voice cut through the background deep, and commanding, full of menace.“Search every part of this house and bring her to me.”Anna’s heart sank into her stoma

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby.   Chapter  45. Protection vs Control.

    The moment Alex got the IT feedback, he called Zachary, head of Knight Security. “Tighten every corner,” Alex ordered. Minutes later, the team spotted a teenage boy loitering outside, his encircling around the block was too often to be innocent. At first, a guard sent him away, but when he returned, texting furiously, Zachary gave the order. “Bring him in.” The boy stammered, protesting, but his phone revealed he's been texting a single encrypted number, tracking movements around the building. “He’s a spy,” one operative muttered. On comms, Alex’s voice was cold. “Get his phone.” “And the boy?” Zachary pressed. He paused, as his tone dropped, hard with restraint. “Let him go, he’s just a pawn.” The operatives exchanged looks but obeyed. The boy ran, leaving the phone still buzzing with encrypted messages. Zachary stared at it, uneasy. “If this is the pawn… then how close is the one pulling the strings?” ****************** Anna’s heart pounded as her fingers danced clumsil

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby.   Chapter 44. The Enclosing Foe.

    Anna’s chest tightened as she retraced her steps. She had spent over two hours with Noah unknown to her, his laughter seemed like the only balm to her restless heart. But now, standing in the silent hall, she realized with a sharp jolt that her phone was missing. Her hand patted her pockets, and her purse but it wasn't there. Panic flared in her chest. What if Maya had tried to reach her? The last thing she wanted was to give her a reason to spiral into worry. Her mind flashed back to the dining table. She’d left it there, beside Alex. Anna’s stomach dropped, asking him for it was the last thing she wanted but she had no choice. She wanted to play smart on Alex, so she sent Elsie, her former assistant, with a stiff message. Minutes later, Jeanne returned, her voice hesitant. “Ma’am He says you should come get it yourself.” Anna felt her throat dry. That’s deliberate she thought aloud and she knows Alex never does anything without a reason. She lingered in the corridor, her fing

    Anna’s stomach lurched the moment she saw him, she almost puked the pasta still sitting in her mouth.She hadn’t heard a single footstep; Alexander seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, like a ghost slipping from the ceiling.She froze, with her fork mid-air, he didn’t say a word. He just glided past her as if she was invincible, then he lowered his tall figure into the head of the long, gleaming dining table ‘His rightful throne.’ Chef Greene slipped in quietly with another tray, as if on cue, setting down a silver cloche in front of him. The scent of rosemary and seared beef filled the room.Anna forced herself to chew, convincing herself ‘Never to flinch’. If she allowed him to see her rattled, then it was a win for him.Alex lifted his fork and knife with deliberate calm, the scrape of his cutlery against the plate cut through the silence like a blade. Then he stopped, his hand stilling mid-motion “Ms. Carter,” he said at last. His voice was smooth, deceptively calm, but benea

    Stepping back in the penthouse seemed like the weight of the building pressed down on her like an unfinished story her chest constricted.Ding.The elevator chimed, interrupting her thoughts. She inhaled sharply as the doors slid open.And just like that, she was back, face to face with the same luxurious penthouse that had once been her sanctuary. The place that had felt like heaven for three months until it turned into a war zone of heartbreak and betrayal. Now she wasn’t a returning co-owner, or even a lover. She felt like a stranger trespassing in her own memory.Her heels clicked softly as she crossed the threshold, her eyes scanning the sitting room. ‘Nothing has changed.’ The leather couches gleamed in the golden afternoon light. The glass walls stretched out to Manhattan’s skyline, indifferent, and eternal. Even the faint scent of sandalwood clung to the air, Alex’s presence haunting her senses like a phantom.Her heart lurched.“Mommy! Mommy!”The tiny voice cut through her s

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby.   Chapter: 41. The Leash of Control.

    That night Anna couldn't sleep. She rolled and rolled till it was dawn in the morning. Anna felt she needed time away to breathe, to think, and to decide what to do with the secret burning in her hands and heart. But before she left Brooklyn, she had to see Noah in Manhattan first.The school gates gleamed beneath the late afternoon sun. She approached with a flicker of hope—only for it to be smothered.Two operatives in black suits flanked Noah’s car, their stance unyielding. The driver stood rigid, eyes glinting with a cold detachment. As Anna stepped forward, their bodies shifted, forming a wall that cut her off.From behind the tinted glass came the muffled thump of small fists and Noah’s eager cry—“Mommy! Mommy!” His voice, bright with excitement, barely pierced the barrier. His little legs dangled, too short to reach the ground, and the locked door kept him caged, his tiny hands pressed desperately against the window.“Sorry, ma’am. You can’t see the young master without Mr. Kni
