The Billionaire's Secret Heir The trap
The factory disappeared into darkness, and for several seconds there was nothing but the sound of gunfire and my mother's scream. I dropped behind the concrete pillar as Alexander pulled me down. Bullets struck the metal beams above us, sending pieces of rust and dust raining onto the floor. Marcus fired back from somewhere to our left, and men shouted through the darkness. I could barely see my own hands. “Stay here,” Alexander whispered. “I'm going after your mother.” I grabbed his arm before he could move. “No.” He looked at me. “Alexander, the ledger is a trap.” “I know.” “Then why did Samuel leave it there?” He hesitated. “Because he wanted you to pick it up.” My heart sank. “Why?” Before he could answer, a voice came through the darkness. “Because the book isn't what you think it is.” Samuel. His voice seemed to come from everywhere at once. Alexander raised his weapon. “Show yourself.” Samuel laughed. “You still think this is about killing me.” The lights suddenly flickered ba
The Billionaire's Secret Heir The Black Ledger
We returned to the safe house because there was nowhere else to go. Leo's disappearance had changed everything. Alexander was no longer calm. He paced through the room, making calls, demanding information from every contact he had. Marcus was working through surveillance networks. Elena sat silently on the couch, staring at the floor. My mother stood near the window. I looked at her. “Tell me how to get him back.” She turned. “They will contact you.” “When?” “When they're ready.” “I don't have time to wait.” “If you rush, they will kill him.” Alexander slammed his phone onto the table. “I found the vehicle.” Everyone looked at him. “Where?” Marcus asked. “An abandoned factory outside the city.” My mother immediately shook her head. “It's a trap.” Alexander looked at her. “I don't care.” “You should.” “They have Leo.” “That's exactly why you can't go.” I stepped between them. “We're going.” Alexander looked at me. “You stay here.” “No.” “They want you.” “Then I'm going.” He shook h
The Billionaire's Secret Heir My mother
I couldn't move. My mother stood only a few feet away from me, yet fifteen years of questions separated us. I had imagined this moment so many times without realizing I had been imagining a ghost. She looked at me as though she couldn't decide whether to come closer or run. “Mom?” My voice broke. She nodded. “Amara.” I stepped toward her. Alexander immediately moved between us. “Don't.” I pushed his arm away. “She's my mother.” “We don't know what she wants.” My mother looked at him. “You still protect her with lies.” Alexander's expression hardened. “You don't know anything about me.” “I know exactly who you are.” She looked at me. “And I know what his family did.” I finally reached her. She touched my face with trembling fingers. The moment she touched me, I started crying. “Why did you leave me?” She closed her eyes. “Because staying would have killed you.” “You could have come back.” “I tried.” “When?” “Many times.” “Then why didn't you?” She looked toward Alexander. “Becau
The Billionaire's Secret Heir Beneath the Ashes
We left the penthouse before sunrise. Alexander insisted on taking three armored vehicles, but the entire journey felt wrong. We weren't simply going to investigate an old warehouse anymore. We were going to search for answers someone had killed to keep buried. I sat beside Alexander in the front vehicle while Marcus followed behind us. Elena stayed with Leo in the second SUV. Nobody spoke much. The road was nearly empty, and the darkness outside the windows made the city feel unfamiliar. “Where exactly are we going?” I asked. “The old property.” “You know where the underground facility is?” “My father showed it to me once.” I turned toward him. “Why?” “Because he wanted me to inherit everything.” “Including the secrets?” “Especially the secrets.” His answer made me uncomfortable. We eventually reached the outskirts of the city. The warehouse was gone. All that remained was an abandoned stretch of land covered with weeds and broken concrete. Alexander got out first. Marcus's m
The Billionaire's Secret Heir The woman in the camera
Nobody spoke for several seconds. The woman on the screen had disappeared, but the image remained frozen. Marcus immediately traced the camera feed. “Where is that camera connected?” Alexander asked. “The system says it's coming from the bedroom.” “Go.” We ran. Alexander reached the bedroom first and kicked the door open. The room was empty. The curtains moved slightly from the wind. The photograph was gone. I looked around desperately. “She was here.” Alexander searched the wardrobe, bathroom, balcony, everywhere. Nothing. Then Marcus noticed the floor. “Footprints.” There were faint marks near the balcony door. Someone had walked through the room recently. Alexander crouched and touched one of them. “Small.” “A woman's shoe,” Marcus said. I felt uneasy. “Could it be Elena?” Alexander looked at me. “No.” “How do you know?” “Because Elena has been with us since we arrived.” I looked toward the balcony. “Then who?” Suddenly, something crashed downstairs. Alexander raised his weap
The Billionaire's Secret Heir The night I forgot
The basement fell into an unbearable silence after Matteo lost consciousness. I could hear the faint hum of the emergency generator somewhere behind the walls, but everything else seemed frozen. Alexander remained beside Matteo, watching him closely while Marcus called for the medical team. I stood several feet away, staring at the words on the piece of paper. Ask your wife about the night. The words seemed to burn into my mind. I looked at Alexander again. “What night?” I asked. He didn't answer. “You heard him.” My voice shook. “He said I know. He said I forgot something. What happened to me?” Alexander slowly stood. “Not here.” “Then where?” “Somewhere private.” I laughed bitterly. “Private? Someone planted a camera in our home, someone shot at us from inside our own building, Matteo was locked in the basement, and you're still telling me there are things I shouldn't know?” Alexander's jaw tightened. “I'm trying to protect you.” “You keep saying that.” I stepped closer. “But ever
