Cael's POV

The sound from downstairs made everyone freeze.

For a few seconds, nobody moved.

Then Davon looked at me.

"Lock the door."

I immediately turned toward Xyena.

"Stay behind me."

She nodded.

I grabbed my phone and called security.

"Daerion."

"Sir?"

"Lock down the estate. No one leaves."

"What happened?"

"Possible intruder."

"I'll handle it."

I ended the call.

Davon was still standing near the doorway.

" Lolo." I said quietly, "you said the child surviv

    Xyena's POVHindi ko alam kung ilang beses kong binasa ang message.“The truth isn't about one daughter. It's about both of them.”Both?Ivy and me?Impossible.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the old photograph Daerion had recovered from the east wing.Two little girls.One was clearly Ivy.The other...looked like me.My hands trembled."Cael."He was standing beside the window, reading through the documents Daerion had brought.He looked at me."What?""Look."I handed him the photograph.His eyes narrowed."Where did this come from?""Daerion found it behind the portrait."He studied the two girls."That's Ivy.""And the other one?"He looked at me."I don't know."I swallowed."She looks like me."He didn't answer.That silence was enough."Cael..."He walked closer."Don't jump to conclusions.""But what if I'm connected to Astaroth too?""We'll find out.""How?"He placed the photograph on the table."DNA would answer the question."I looked at him."You're serious?""

Xyena stepped forward. "Then we call her." Davon shook his head. "Not yet." "Why?" "Because if the person who has been watching you discovers that Charlotte told you everything..." He stopped. "What?" "She could be in danger." Xyena's face fell. "My grandmother?" Davon nodded. "Your grandmother has protected that secret for twenty-two years." I clenched my

  • The Billionaire's Secret   Chapter 6 : The Warning

    Xyena's POVDarkness.That was the first thing I noticed.Then silence.My heart was pounding as I tried to understand what had happened.Someone had entered my room.Someone had covered my mouth.But before I could see their face—The lights came back on.I immediately turned around.No one.The door was wide open.I stood frozen beside the bed.My breathing was uneven."Cael..."I rushed out of my room."Cael!"No answer.I ran down the hallway.Then I saw him.He was coming from the opposite direction, wearing a black shirt, his expression tense."Xyena?"I ran toward him."There was someone in my room."His expression immediately changed."What?""Someone came inside.""Did you see who?""No."He stepped closer."Are you hurt?"I shook my head."No.""Are you sure?""Yes."He looked past me toward my room."Stay here."He walked inside.I followed him.The room looked completely normal.Nothing was broken.Nothing was missing.Except—I noticed something on my desk.A small black

  • The Billionaire's Secret   Chapter 4 : The Truth Behind the Marriage

    Cael's POV The entire drive back to the estate was silent. Hindi ako makapagsalita. Neither could Xyena. The letter from Astaroth was sitting between us, folded carefully inside its envelope. But somehow, it felt heavier than anything I had ever carried. "If they ever marry, the truth will return." Those words kept repeating inside my head. Why us? Why Xyena? And why did my grandfather seem to know more than he had ever told me? Pagdating namin sa estate, agad kong napansin na bukas ang main entrance. There were no guards outside. I frowned. "Something's wrong." Xyena looked at me. "How do you know?" "Because my grandfather never leaves the main entrance unguarded." I stepped out of the car. "Stay beside me." She nodded. We entered the mansion. Tahimik. Too quiet. "Lolo?" No answer. I walked toward the study. The door was slightly open. I pushed it. "Lolo?" Davon was standing beside the window. His back was facing us. "You're late." I frowned. "You to
