Clair hadn’t slept properly in days.

Every time she closed her eyes, something came back to trouble her. Caleb standing in their bedroom with the pregnancy test in his hand. The look on his face when she’d finally admitted the truth. Damien’s silence after she told him about the baby.

And now there was Victoria.

She couldn’t explain it, but something about the older woman’s behaviour had changed. She was more watchful, more careful with her words. Whenever Alexander asked questions about Caleb,

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Heir    Chapter 33

    Caleb had read Julian’s message four times.Actually, five.He’d opened it, locked his phone, picked it up again, read it, then tossed it onto the bed like the thing had personally offended him.It hadn’t.The message was perfectly reasonable. That was the bloody problem.Julian: We need to talk. Properly this time, Caleb. I’m tired of having conversations that end with you promising things you never follow through on.Caleb rubbed his face.“Jesus Christ.”He wanted to call him. He wanted to explain that things were complicated, that Damien had discovered their secret, that his father was already asking questions. He wanted Julian to understand that he wasn’t deliberately keeping him in the shadows because he enjoyed it.But how many times could he use the word complicated before it became an excuse?His phone buzzed again.Julian: Are you coming tonight?Caleb stared at the screen.Then he typed.Yes.He deleted it.Typed again.I’ll try.Deleted that too.In the end, he sent nothin

    Victoria knew something was wrong the moment she saw Caleb.He sat quietly in the living room, his usual careless expression replaced by tension. Damien had barely spoken since their confrontation, and Caleb had been avoiding his brother altogether.Victoria waited until they were alone.“What happened between you and Damien?”Caleb looked up. “He knows about Julian.”Her expression tightened. “What?”“He threatened to tell Father. He knows everything, Mum. He knows who Julian is to me, and he’s willing to use it against me.”Victoria stared at him, absorbing the news.“Did he say when he planned to tell your father?”“He didn’t say. But you know Damien. He doesn’t make threats he isn’t prepared to carry out.”Victoria reached for his hand.“Listen to me. You cannot let him frighten you into making a mistake.”“Father would never accept it.”“I know.”“You know what he thinks about people like me.”Victoria’s grip tightened. “And I know what your father can be like when his pride is c

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Heir    Chapter 31

    Damien had always preferred knowing what he was walking into, understanding the problem before anyone else had finished explaining it, and keeping every situation under control. It was one of the reasons he had earned Alexander’s trust in business, even if that trust had never translated into the kind of recognition he wanted.That morning, however, he found himself unable to concentrate.A report lay open on his desk, its figures blurred by thoughts he couldn’t seem to silence. He had read the same paragraph three times without absorbing a single word.Clair was pregnant.The announcement still felt unreal. He had known the possibility existed, of course, but knowing and having the entire family celebrate the news were two very different things. Everyone had smiled. Alexander had spoken about the family’s future. Victoria had looked at Clair with unmistakable affection.And Damien had stood among them, pretending he was simply another man pleased by the arrival of a new member of the

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Heir    Chapter 30

    Caleb had always believed there were things a man could forgive and things he could never forget.He had never considered that his brother might become one of the things he could never forgive.The pregnancy report lay on the dressing table, beside the test that had turned his world upside down. He had left them there when he walked away from Clair earlier, unable to stand in the same room with her without feeling the urge to demand answers she might not be able to give him.He had known Damien hated him.That was hardly a secret.Their father’s decision to name Caleb the future head of the family empire had driven a wedge between them. Damien had never accepted the decision, and although he had maintained the appearance of a respectable, dutiful son, Caleb had seen the resentment in his eyes often enough.He had simply never imagined that resentment could lead here.His brother had slept with his wife.No. That wasn’t quite right.Damien had done more than sleep with Clair. He had be
