The next morning was a blur.

Sienna stood in front of her closet, staring blankly at the rows of clothes she’d carefully chosen over the years. She had worked so hard to build a quiet life, one free from chaos. But today, that life was gone.

“Wear this.”

Damian’s voice made her turn. He was holding a sleek, elegant navy-blue dress. Classy. Simple. Professional. Perfect for the cameras.

She took it slowly, her fingers brushing his. “Thank you.”

He nodded, watching her for a moment longer than necessary before he turned and left the room. She was grateful. She didn’t need him to see her hands trembling as she zipped herself up.

The press conference was set for noon.

By eleven, they were already in the car, Julian staying behind with Olivia. Sienna had kissed her son goodbye, promising him she’d be back soon. But her voice had cracked. And Julian had frowned, his little hand on her cheek.

“You’ll be okay, Mommy,” he’d whispered. “I’ll wait for you.”

Now, seated in the back of Damian’s sl

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 101 : Zurich Strike

    The helicopters hovered like silent predators above Zurich’s skyline. The cold dawn winds buffeted their hulls, but inside the lead aircraft, the team was deadly still.Damian sat up front, eyes fixed on the Dominion Tower below. Its glass panels reflected the orange hue of sunrise, masking the evil pulsing within.“Status check,” Mia called into the comms.“Team Alpha locked and loaded.”“Bravo team ready.”“Charlie in position.”“Delta standing by.”The synchronized confirmations came from Zurich to Tokyo, Lagos, São Paulo, and Abu Dhabi. Each team was now poised for the simultaneous assault.Mia glanced at Damian. “Fifteen minutes until synchronized breach.”Damian nodded. “No room for error.”He looked at Cole seated across from him. The man was checking his rifle, the tight grin of a soldier who lived for moments like this stretched across his face.“This time, we cut off the head,” Cole said. “No more running.”“No more running,” Damian agreed, voice low.The DescentThe helicop

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 100 : The Global Web

    The compound was unusually silent in the early morning hours, but none of the occupants inside were asleep. The gravity of Luka’s revelation had infected every corner like a virus—silent, invisible, but utterly consuming.Damian stood at the edge of the war room, staring at the holographic map that hovered above the table. Red pins blinked across Europe, Asia, Africa, North America — hundreds of sites.“This is what The Dominion has already seeded,” Mia whispered beside him. “Thousands of these kids. Just like Luka. Implanted. Wired into their system.”Sienna sat nearby, holding Julian in her lap as he quietly dozed, unaware of the enormity unfolding around him.“How did it get this far?” Damian muttered, his voice low but shaking with anger. “How did we miss it?”Mia’s jaw tightened. “They worked in shadows. Partnerships with shell companies. Governments turning blind eyes for ‘research grants.’ This wasn’t a lab accident. This was global design.”Luka, seated at the medical station,

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 99 : The Raid on ViroCore

    The rain fell in sheets as Damian’s convoy sped through the darkened outskirts of Geneva. Each drop hammered the bulletproof windshield like tiny war drums, echoing the adrenaline that surged through everyone inside.Mia sat in the passenger seat beside Damian, checking her weapons one last time. Alejandro followed behind in a separate armored vehicle, coordinating the strike team through his headset. They had less than an hour before ViroCore shifted the next batch of neurochip prototypes to an undisclosed offshore facility.“Everything’s green,” Mia said. “Our hacker disabled their external surveillance feeds. They won’t see us coming until we’re inside.”Damian nodded, his voice low. “No mistakes. If we fail here, they’ll scale globally.”The gravity of the mission pressed against all of them. This wasn’t just about taking down another criminal enterprise. This was about stopping an irreversible shift in the balance of global power—a war for the very freedom of humanity.Inside Vir

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 98 : The Ripple Effect

    Even with the Council’s partial collapse, Damian knew better than to breathe easy.For every enemy that fell, two more lurked in the shadows. And power, like nature, despised a vacuum.Over the following weeks, the world’s media erupted with scandal after scandal. High-ranking politicians resigned overnight. Billion-dollar companies filed for bankruptcy as their ties to the Council became public. Protesters filled the streets of major cities, demanding accountability.And yet, even amidst all the chaos, Sienna couldn’t shake the gnawing feeling that something was still unfinished.One evening, as the news blared in the background, she watched Damian pacing their study like a caged lion. He hadn’t touched his glass of bourbon. His normally steady hands were clenched at his sides.“They’re regrouping, aren’t they?” she asked quietly.He turned to her, his jaw tight. “Yes. Not all the Council members were exposed. The ones who escaped… they’re forming something new.”Sienna swallowed. “H

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 97 : Unfinished Business

    The soft glow of the honeymoon suite's balcony bathed Sienna and Damian in golden light. The waves crashed gently against the shore beneath them, a rhythmic reminder of how far they'd come.Sienna traced small circles on Damian’s chest as they lay beneath a light silk sheet. “Tell me something,” she whispered.“Anything.”“Do you ever feel... guilty? For surviving? For being happy now?”Damian turned his head to look into her eyes. The question caught him off-guard, but not because it hadn’t haunted him too.“All the time,” he admitted softly. “There were moments I never thought we’d see this day. And now that we have it—sometimes it feels unfair.”Sienna nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “Sometimes I feel like we’re living on borrowed time.”He pulled her closer, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “No more borrowed time, Sienna. This is our time now.”His words were firm, but both of them knew that even though Ricci was dead, shadows of the past still loomed.The Letter

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 96 : Returning to the Light

    The mountain fortress still smoldered behind them as the morning sun climbed higher. Damian stood in silence, his gaze distant, almost numb. For so long, Ricci had been the shadow looming over his life, poisoning every corner of his world. Now that shadow was gone—obliterated in a single, precise shot.And yet, the weight in Damian’s chest hadn’t lifted. Not entirely.Mia approached him slowly. She removed her helmet, her face streaked with soot and exhaustion. “You should call her,” she said gently.Damian didn’t need to ask who.He pulled out his secured satellite phone and dialed Sienna’s private line.It rang only once.“Damian?” Sienna’s voice trembled on the other end.“It’s over,” he said softly. “Ricci’s dead.”There was a pause—a long exhale of disbelief. Then he heard her sob quietly, her voice breaking. “You came back to me.”“I promised, didn’t I?”“I love you,” she whispered.He closed his eyes, the emotion finally hitting him like a tidal wave. “I love you too. I’ll be h
