The Billionaire’s Secret Heirs Chapter 19
~CELINE'S POV~Hunter's gaze was like ice."Leave."The word sliced through me, cold and final. For a second, I didn't move. Didn't breathe. Charlotte opened her mouth like she wanted to argue, but one look from Hunter had her clamping it shut so fast I almost heard her teeth click. She huffed, crossing her arms like a spoiled child. I curled my fingers into the fabric of my uniform, grounding myself. A part of me wanted to fight back, to demand some sort of dignity. But what was the point? Without another word, I turned and walked away. I kept my back straight. My shoulders squared. Only when I reached the storage room did I finally let myself feel it.The weight of the night crashed over me, pressing me down until my knees buckled. I locked the door, slid to the floor, and buried my face in my hands as the tears came. Silent at first. Then in waves. The humiliation. The exhaustion. The constant battle of existing in a place that wanted nothing more than to spit me ou
The Billionaire’s Secret Heirs Chapter 18
~HUNTER’S POV~Caesar’s tiny voice shattered the silence like a gunshot. “It wasn’t Mommy’s fault! That mean lady made her do it!” The room froze.Every breath. Every heartbeat. Every single ounce of tension thickened until it felt like the walls themselves were holding their breath. I stared down at the small boy clutching the hem of Celine’s jacket, his little fists trembling with rage. His big, glassy eyes burned with something fierce…something raw…as he looked up at her, demanding justice. I wasn’t used to that. To people standing up for each other. For the first time in years, I didn’t know how to respond. My gaze flicked to Celine. She was still kneeling in the mess, her hands shaking as she pulled Caesar close. Her lips parted like she wanted to say something—explain—but nothing came out. Bianca’s scoff broke the moment. “Sir, you can’t seriously believe….” I lifted a hand. She shut up instantly. The urge to fire Celine burned through me. I’d been waiting for a

~CELINE’S POV~The kitchen was chaos. Pots clanged. Footsteps pounded against the tile. Orders were barked across the room, sharp and urgent. The air was thick with heat and stress, and everyone scrambling to prepare for Hunter’s guests. I moved quickly, arms full of fresh linens, weaving through the frenzy. My back ached. My legs burned. But stopping wasn’t an option. Hunter had made it clear—tonight had to be perfect.I dropped the linens onto the counter and wiped the sweat from my forehead, barely catching my breath before— "Celine!" I knew that voice. I closed my eyes for a second before turning. Bianca stood with her arms crossed, a smug tilt to her lips. Two other maids hovered behind her, hanging onto her every word like she was the queen of this damn castle. "The dining room floor still looks dirty," she said, inspecting her nails like the floor was my problem and not hers. "Go clean it again." I gritted my teeth. "I already cleaned it." She raised an eyebro

~HUNTER’S POV~Caesar had an uncanny ability to dismantle my perfectly structured life. The constant talking. The endless questions. The way he looked at me with those too-familiar blue eyes—like he expected something from me. And the worst part? I let him. I told myself it was because he was just a child. That it was easier to give in sometimes. That none of it actually meant anything. But that didn’t explain why I was already halfway out of my chair the second I heard his voice echo through the halls. "I want a bedtime story!"Loud. Unapologetic. Determined. I pinched the bridge of my nose. Relentless."No, Caesar," Celine’s voice answered, strained with exhaustion. "I told you, I’m busy."That should have been the end of it. But then— A wail. Loud. Sharp. Real. I was already moving before I could stop myself. When I found them, Celine was standing stiffly in the middle of the laundry room, her back to me. Caesar was on the floor, his small body trembling with the forc

~HUNTER’S POV~ I tapped my fingers against the desk, skimming through the estate’s daily operations report, but none of the words were registering. My patience was already razor-thin, and I knew exactly why. Celine.She was getting under my skin. The way she had looked at me last night—steady, unshaken—like she wasn’t afraid of me like she wasn’t intimidated. It was… frustrating. And I didn’t like feeling this way. I needed to remind myself why she was here. To work. That was it. Nothing more. So I made a decision. If she was going to work under my roof, she would do so under my rules—no special treatment, no leniency. That was the only way to handle this. I breathed out sharply and clicked open the security feed on my laptop, scanning the live footage of the main foyer. And there she was. On her knees, scrubbing the floor. Her hair was tied back, but a few strands had escaped, clinging to her forehead. She moved with precision, her shoulders tense, her hands gri

~HUNTER’S POV~I cut into my steak, but I wasn’t hungry. Across the table, Caroline smirked like she knew something she shouldn’t. Like she was enjoying a private joke at my expense. It was irritating. More irritating than usual. I didn’t know if she was teasing me about earlier or if she was just reveling in being a general menace, but either way, I needed to shut it down before she pushed any further. "You spend more time at my place than your own," I muttered, keeping my voice even. "Should I start charging you rent?" Caroline gasped, pressing a hand to her chest in mock horror. "Oh, how cruel! You wouldn’t dare, cousin." I stabbed another piece of steak, unimpressed. "You have a house. A very expensive one, if I remember correctly. Maybe you should start using it." She rolled her eyes, swirling the wine in her glass like she was bored. "And miss out on the joy of annoying you? Not a chance." I shook my head. But at least she was distracted. That was all I needed.
