The Billionaire's Secret Baby. Chapter 33. Anna’s Regrets.
In less than a minute, Anna was on the ground floor, Noah’s small hand clutched tightly in hers.Her cab waited a few blocks away; Knight Tower’s policy banned public vehicles from the front entrance. She walked briskly, heels tapping against the pavement, and her pulse pounding in her ears.She slides into the back seat of the cab, she exhaled sharply.“Drive,” she told the driver.The engine roared, and they sped off toward Maya’s.Upstairs, Alex stood frozen for a moment, fury hardening his features. The same woman who’d steadied his chaos was now the very storm tearing through him. his Jaw clenched, as he yanked his phone from his pocket.“Prepare the custody suit now,” he told his lawyer, each word like steel. “Serve it to Anna Carter before close of business tomorrow.”“Yes, Mr. Knight,” came the crisp reply.The next morning, Anna set up her laptop on Maya’s dining table, trying to work as though nothing had changed. But mid-morning, an email notification pinged.Subject: Termi
The Billionaire's Secret Baby. Chapter 32. Fracture Line.
Anna had been working relentlessly on Knight Enterprises’ corporate daycare project ever since Dr. Harris cornered her into a yes she couldn’t take back. The very project that dragged her back into Alex’s world.This Afternoon, she stole a moment's rest. The deep porcelain tub embraced her, the warm water melting away the week’s tension as her eyes fluttered shut and, for once, she let herself breathe.Ping, came the sharp chime of her phone breaking the stillness. She sighed, as she reached for the plush white towel hanging from the chrome rack, she wrapped it snugly around herself. Crossing the cool marble floor to pick up her phone from the broad vanity ledge under the mirror.A text came in from an old acquaintance her private investigator “Anna, can we talk?”Her thumb hovered before her brain caught up. “Yes, of course. Got anything?”She stayed frozen in one place, bracing for his response.“Yes, but… it's a woman from Alex’s past seven years ago.”Her brows pinched, heartbeat
The Billionaire's Secret Baby. Chapter 31: Alex POV.
For a moment, guilt caught me off guard, creeping in like a shadow he hadn’t invited. The press on the ground floor knew me as a ruthless billionaire — the cold strategist who crushed opponents without blinking. How I hated that image not because it wasn’t true once, but because it was the exact man I had sworn never to become. The man my father had tried to mold me into. At age sixteen, my father had dragged me into a room thick with cigarette smoke and the scent of fear. Making me watch, men knelt in chains, trembling under harsh lights. "I never forget the metallic tang of blood in those rooms, the muffled sobs, the moments when screams cut off too suddenly. I’d fidgeted and flinched — only to feel my father’s hand clamp down on my shoulder. “Stand straight, boy!. Weakness is death. To keep what I have built you must be strong and make your enemies fear you.” My mother’s constant tear-stained face and her warmth built the small, stubborn part of me that resisted becoming my
The Billionaire's Secret Baby. Chapter 30: A Coup in Ashes.
McKinley dragged his guilty self to Eric’s private suite, every step heavier than the last, not knowing what awaited him — a handshake or a noose.The moment he stepped inside, his gut twisted. Eric got company with his other two board accomplices Donovan and Thompson; lounged in the leather armchairs, the three were eager to know what he told Alex.“Well?” Thompson’s tone was casual, but his gaze was like a blade. “What’d you spill to Alex last night?”McKinley forced a casual shrug. “I was at the spa and not with Alex.”Eric laughed a short and humorless laugh. “James McKinley… Don't play dumb with me.” He rose slowly from his chair, every movement coiled with menace. “I’m not Alex. I don’t negotiate, and I don’t forgive. I will strangle you and go to jail for it. Look around you…” he spinned gesturing around “I’ve got nothing to lose, no wife, no family. So, ask yourself — if you have the balls to do this?”His hot whiskey breath hitting McKinley’s face. McKinley’s throat tightened
The Billionaire's Secret Baby. Chapter 29. The Vindication.
The storm in McKinley’s guest room hadn’t fully passed. Shadows still clung to the walls, heavy with the unspoken weight between him and Claire. But miles away, in the top floors of Knight Enterprises, another storm was about to break—this one with a smile sharp enough to cut glass.Anna had been restless ever since she learned that the real threat to Eric wasn’t a rival board member, but his “small man” Noah.She wasn’t about to take chances. The sooner she put Eric behind bars, the sooner she and Alex could breathe again.‘But why is Alex so reluctant to investigate him?’ she thought, pacing her living room. ‘If he really dug, he’d find something that would keep Eric locked up for a long time.”Her phone lit up—Maya calling (FaceTime). Anna let it ring until it cut off.It rang again, he still ignored it.On the third try, she sighed and answered.“Hey, girl,” she forced a smile into her face.“Are you alright, Anna? Something seems… off with you.” Maya’s tone was warm but probing.
The Billionaire's Secret Baby. Chapter 28. Between Blades.
‘The betrayal of Alex had been a sin of desperation but betraying Eric…would be suicidal.’McKINLEYS HOUSE.– Morning AfterThe first thing McKinley noticed when he opened his eyes was the throbbing in his jaw. A deep, pulsing reminder of last night’s “conversation” with Alexander Knight.His guest room was very quiet, and that was somehow worse than hearing Alex’s barking last night. He pushed himself up, every one of his muscles were stiff, his ribs sore from where Alex’s men had “hit him.” It's obvious they didn't listen to Alex's order of “drive him to his apartment uncuffed.” or maybe he spoke ironically. The curtains were half-drawn, letting in a cold shaft of morning light that cut across the floor like a spotlight.He’d thought he’d buried his first betrayal of Alex deep enough that no one would dig it up. A little thing then as little as slipping confidential figures to Holden Vaughn in exchange for a payout that barely covered his secret gambling debt. Alex never noticed b
