Sienna had felt uneasy all day, a gnawing sensation in her gut that refused to fade. She convinced herself it was nothing—just the stress of the upcoming work trip, the pressure of working so closely with Damian.

But when she walked into her apartment that evening, she knew instantly.

Something was wrong.

The air felt different, charged with an unfamiliar tension. And then she saw him.

Damian.

He stood in her living room, his powerful frame filling the space as if he belonged there. He was dressed in his usual tailored suit, his presence overwhelming. But it wasn’t just his presence that sent a chill down her spine.

It was the look in his eyes.

Cold. Unyielding.

Dangerous.

Sienna’s breath hitched. "How did you get in here?"

His lips curved into a humorless smirk. "You should check your security, Sienna. It’s lacking."

Her heart pounded, but she forced herself to stay calm. "You broke into my home?"

Damian took a slow step toward her, his gaze never leaving hers. "I needed answers. And I wasn’t going to wait any longer."

Sienna swallowed hard. She knew, in that moment, that her worst fear had come true.

He knew.

"Damian, whatever you think—"

"Enough." His voice was like a blade, slicing through her feeble attempt at denial. He pulled a folded document from his pocket and tossed it onto the coffee table.

Sienna’s stomach dropped. She didn’t need to look at it to know what it was.

A DNA test.

"Five years," Damian said, his tone deathly quiet. "Five years, Sienna. You kept my son from me."

Sienna’s throat went dry. "I—"

"Don’t," he snapped, his voice laced with fury. "Don’t you dare lie to me again."

She had never seen him like this before. Damian was always controlled, calculating. But now? Now, he was barely containing his rage.

"You had no right," he continued, stepping closer. "No right to decide I didn’t deserve to know."

Sienna’s hands clenched into fists. "And what would you have done, Damian? If I had told you back then?"

His eyes darkened. "I would have been there."

She let out a bitter laugh. "Would you? Or would your precious empire have come first?"

Something flickered in his expression, but it was gone just as quickly.

"You don’t get to make excuses for what you did," he said. "You stole my son from me, Sienna. You kept him hidden. You let me believe—"

He stopped, exhaling sharply. His fingers curled at his sides, as if he was barely holding himself back.

Sienna’s chest ached. "I did what I thought was best."

His gaze sharpened. "For who? For you?"

"For Julian," she said fiercely. "I wasn’t going to let him be raised by a man who only saw relationships as transactions. You weren’t ready to be a father, Damian."

His jaw tightened. "That wasn’t your decision to make."

Silence stretched between them, heavy and suffocating.

Finally, Damian exhaled, his voice lower but no less intense. "I’m not going to fight with you about the past, Sienna. What’s done is done. But make no mistake—I am not going to be a stranger to my own son."

Fear shot through her. "What are you saying?"

He met her gaze, unwavering. "I want full custody."

Sienna’s breath left her in a sharp gasp.

"You can’t be serious."

"Oh, I’m very serious." His expression was unreadable, but she could see the determination in his eyes. "Julian is mine, and I will not be some weekend visitor in his life."

Panic clawed at her chest. "You can’t just take him away from me."

His lips pressed into a thin line. "You took him from me first."

Sienna shook her head. "No. I raised him. I took care of him. You don’t get to walk in now and act like you’ve earned the right to be his father."

Something in his expression shifted, a flicker of something almost… wounded. But it disappeared as quickly as it came.

"I will fight for him, Sienna," Damian said, his voice softer now but no less resolute. "I will do whatever it takes."

Sienna’s hands trembled. "Damian, please. Don’t do this."

His gaze lingered on her for a moment, unreadable. Then he turned toward the door.

"You have until after our trip to Boston to figure out how you want to handle this," he said. "But make no mistake—one way or another, I will be in my son’s life."

And with that, he was gone.

Sienna collapsed onto the couch, her entire body shaking.

This was it.

The secret was out.

And now, she had to fight to keep the one thing that mattered most.

Julian.

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 127: The Shadow In The Blood

    The storm broke just after midnight.Wind slammed against the compound windows as if trying to claw its way inside, and the entire building hummed with a restless kind of tension. Sienna felt it before she even stepped fully into the corridor—a strange vibration in her bones, a heaviness in the air like the moment before lightning splits the sky.Julian was asleep in her arms, but light sleep. His breathing had changed recently. Softer. Too soft.She kept walking toward the medical wing, her pulse tripping over itself. Luka had insisted on running another scan—just routine, he’d said—but nothing about this night felt routine.When she entered, Luka was already there, pacing back and forth. His hair was a mess, his eyes bloodshot from hours without rest.“You’re late,” he said, though there was no anger in it—only fear pretending to be control.“I came as fast as I could,” Sienna whispered. “He finally dozed off. What’s going on?”Luka swallowed. “I think… Julian’s implant is evolving.

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 126: The Man Who Knew Too Much

    The rain had already started by the time Damian stepped out of the armored SUV. A thin mist rolled across the abandoned harbor, swallowing the outlines of rusted containers and drowning the world in a cold, metallic silence.He scanned the shadows.Somewhere here—if Echo hadn’t deceived them—was the man who could destroy The Dominion’s entire second phase.Or the man who could kill them where they stood.Mia checked her wristband, its pale blue glow reflecting on her cheek. “The coordinates match,” she murmured. “He should be inside Warehouse 19.” She paused. “But something feels off.”Cole snorted. “When does it not?”Damian didn’t answer. He couldn’t. A heaviness had settled across his shoulders since the failed Zurich attack, and it hadn’t left him for a second. Every breath he took felt like he was dragging the weight of a collapsing world into his lungs.And beneath all that, deeper, sharper—the knowledge that Julian’s life now hung on threads none of them could see.“Let’s move,

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 125: The Silent Lockdown

    Damian had been in dozens of war rooms, but none had ever made his bloodstream freeze the way this one did. The air inside the command center felt thick, almost metallic, vibrating faintly—as if the building itself knew something was coming.Mia stood at the center console, fingers flying over the holographic interface. Strings of code streamed down the transparent screens like falling rain.“They’ve gone dark,” she muttered. “Zurich node is sealed. Lagos is sealed. Tokyo… sealed. All five hubs have locked their systems simultaneously.”Damian swore under his breath. “They’re anticipating our next strike.”“No,” Mia said, shaking her head. “This isn’t anticipation. This is orchestration. Someone triggered a synchronized lockdown from the inside.”Luka lifted his head from the secondary monitor. His voice was faint. “That means they’ve advanced to Phase Two.”Sienna, cradling Julian protectively at her side, tensed. “Which is?”He hesitated…but only for a moment.“Neural awakening,” Lu

    The narrow hallway leading into the lower chambers of the Zurich node felt colder than the rest of the facility. Not physically—something deeper, something Sienna could feel crawling under her skin like a warning whispered from the walls.Damian sensed it too.He slowed his pace, lifted a fist, and signaled the team behind him to halt. The rhythmic hum of servers faded as they stepped into an eerily silent corridor lined with reinforced steel doors.Mia checked her scanner. “This area isn’t on the blueprint Echo sent. It looks… newly constructed.”Cole eyed the sealed doors. “Whatever they’re keeping here, they didn’t want anyone knowing about it.”Damian didn’t answer. He was staring at the last door on the left—its biometric pad flickering with faint red light. Something about it tugged at him, something almost… familiar.“Julian.” Sienna’s voice trembled as the realization struck her. “This looks like the medical containment wings they used when he was a baby.”Damian’s jaw locked.

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 123: Tracks Of The Black Wolf

    Damian had a way of narrowing the world down to a single, lethal center. Right now that center was a black wolf stamped into mud, rimed with dirt and oil, pressed into the trail left by a van that had taken his son away.The mark had been small—an emblem on a bumper—but it had the kind of history that did not fade. Kenneth had inched forward and traced it with one shaking finger as if touching it could stitch sense back into the chaos.“It’s a sigil,” Kenneth said again, his voice thin. “Not Dominion. Not Elias’s usual. This one… my grandfather used to say it in warnings. The Wolf with the crown.”For a second Damian could not breathe. The name that followed the image—the Black Wolf—was not rumor. It was memory carved into family bones. A faction his grandfather had walled off and buried when he tried to drag the Cavendish name into daylight. Men with teeth and temper and old grudges. Men who had refused to die.“Who runs them now?” Sienna asked, though she already knew the answer she

  • The Billionaire's secret heir   Chapter 122: The Window Left Open

    Damian didn’t remember dropping the glove.He didn’t remember crossing the room either.All he knew was that one moment he was staring at the empty window, and the next he was vaulting over the balcony railing, hitting the ground below hard enough to send shockwaves up his legs. Pain didn’t register. Nothing did.Only one thought drummed through him:Julian. Where is my son?Behind him, Sienna’s scream tore through the air.“DAMIAN, WAIT!”But he was already moving — sprinting toward the treeline behind the house, scanning every shadow, every broken branch, every disturbance in the dew-covered grass. The earth was too quiet. Too undisturbed. Too deliberate.This wasn’t rushed.This was planned.A cold sweat broke across his back.Sienna stumbled outside moments later, barefoot, breath uneven, eyes wild. She grabbed his arm so hard her nails dug into his skin.“Damian—say something. Tell me he’s outside. Tell me he’s hiding. Tell me—”Her voice cracked.Damian forced himself to breathe
