The Billionaire’s Secret Heirs Chapter 212
~MIA'S POV~My hands wouldn't stop shaking. The apartment door slammed behind me. I pressed my back against it, chest heaving like I'd run a marathon. The quietness felt wrong. Too calm. Too still.I didn't push her.I didn't.The words played in my head like a broken song. Celine had slipped. She lost her balance. That's what happened. That's the only thing that happened.My phone buzzed in my purse.I jumped so hard I nearly dropped it. My fingers fumbled with the zipper. The screen lit up bright against my face.Eleanor Reid.I stared at the name. Why was she texting me now? After weeks of silence? After cutting me off like I meant nothing?I threw the phone onto the couch. Hard. It bounced once. I didn't want to deal with Eleanor. Not today. Not when my world was falling apart.My legs felt weak as I walked to the kitchen. The fridge door felt heavy in my hands. Wine. I needed wine—lots of it.The bottle was cold against my palms. I twisted the cork free and lifted it straight to

~HUNTER'S POV~The phone felt heavy in my hand. Sally's words echoed in my head like a broken record. "Master Hunter... It's Miss Celine. She's at the hospital. It's bad. Very bad."My chest squeezed tight. I couldn't breathe."What's wrong with you?" My Mother's sharp voice cut through the fog. She sat on my office couch, watching me with cold eyes. "You look like you've seen a ghost."I grabbed my car keys from the desk. They slipped through my fingers and clattered to the floor. My hands were shaking.'Celine.' Was she still alive? Please let her be alive. For the first time in years, I prayed."Hunter!" my Mother snapped. "Answer me!"I turned at the door. My voice came out flat and cold. "Get out of my office. I want you gone by the end of the day."Then I was running. The hallway blurred past me. Vincent stepped out of the elevator as I rushed by."Hunter? What the hell....." I didn't stop. Couldn't stop. My mind was spinning with terrible thoughts.'What happened to her? Who hu

~CELINE’S POV~Paint clung to my fingernails as I stepped out of my art room. The smell of turpentine followed me into the hallway. My baggy jeans hung loose on my growing belly. Paint stains covered my old t-shirt like a rainbow explosion. Red. Blue. Yellow. Green.I touched my messy hair buns. Hunter always said I looked beautiful when I painted. Wild and free.The mansion felt too quiet. Caesar was upstairs with his nanny. The woman Hunter hired was strict but kind. She sang lullabies in French. Sally had left for the grocery store twenty minutes ago.That left me alone with Ana and the other staff.Ana. Just thinking her name made my jaw clench. She still acted like I didn't belong here. When I asked her to bring me tea, she would roll her eyes. When I requested fresh flowers for the dining room, she would mutter under her breath."She thinks she's the queen now," I'd heard her whisper to the gardener last week.I rubbed my belly. The baby kicked softly. Soon there would be two

~HUNTER’S POV~The elevator doors slid open with a dull chime. I stepped into my office, already loosening my tie. The drive into the city had been long, traffic worse than usual, and I hadn’t even had my second cup of coffee yet.All I wanted was silence. Paperwork. A chance to breathe. But life never seemed to give me that anymore.Because there she was.Eleanor Reid. My mother. Sitting on my office couch like a queen returning to her throne.For a moment I just stared at her, too tired to even summon rage. She was flawless, as always—dark tailored dress, jewelry flashing faintly under the morning light. She smiled, but her smile never reached her eyes. It never did.I sighed and dropped my briefcase on the desk.“Of all places,” I said flatly. “Your first day of freedom, and you choose to visit the son who locked you up.”Her lips curved faintly. “Isn’t that what mothers do? We miss our children. We long for those little moments of bonding.”“Bonding,” I repeated, rolling my sleeve

~HUNTER POV~The glass of whiskey burned as it slid down my throat. I was sitting in my private corner of the bar—the same restaurant I had seized from my mother when she crossed the line one too many times. The irony wasn’t lost on me: the bar she once used to charm senators and CEOs was now mine, stripped of her power.I was reviewing contracts when the heavy sound of boots echoed. Derek entered, dragging Jesse across the floor like she was trash he had picked up on the side of the road.He tossed her hard, and she landed on the rug with a thud.I lifted my eyes slowly from the paper.And what I saw almost made me laugh.Jesse Brown. The famous Jesse. The one Celine had grown up chasing after, trying to measure herself against. The girl who had always been dressed perfectly, who had the best grades, the brightest smile, the sharpest claws.Now she looked like a washed-up roadside night girl. Her hair was wild, stiff with spray and grease. Her makeup was too thick, smudged around h

~CELINE’S POV~The reception was still glowing in my mind when we left.The garden had been covered in fairy lights, soft music, and laughter. I could still see Caroline in her pearl-draped gown, smiling at Frederick like she had just found the safest place in the world. When they said their vows, my chest had tightened so much I thought I would cry.Not out of jealousy, not out of sadness—just out of knowing how much love can change a person.Hunter had been beside me the whole time, his hand brushing mine every few minutes, like he wanted to remind me I wasn’t alone. Caesar had run around with the other children, giggling until he fell asleep in Clancey’s lap. For once, even Mia had stayed quiet, sitting with a stiff smile but no drama.It had been a perfect evening.Now, as the car moved through the dark New York streets, the quiet wrapped around us. Caesar was asleep in the back, his small body leaning against the car seat, still holding the string of a half-deflated balloon.Hu
