Antonella stood still for a while under the bus stop shelter, watching people boarding and alighting constantly without her moving an inch.

It had been a mistake to return to that city. It was an even bigger mistake to have listened to Dominique's craziness. She was lost in her thoughts when her gaze returned to the car, coming from the same direction as she was.

It was Benjamim’s car. Immediately, she slipped into the crowd and hid so he wouldn't see her. Once he finally passed by at high speed, she could relax.

She took her phone from her back pocket and called Dominique, telling her she wouldn't be returning to work that day. She needed to hear the news about Adam.

Carmella was already an elderly woman, and it was too risky to leave Adam in her care. As Antonella boarded the bus that would take her to the countryside, she kept thinking about these things. She felt like a terrible mother for having to work and leave her son at home.

  • The billionaire's secret son   Chapter 42

    Benjamim had never been contradicted like that before, especially by Carlota, who, being his mother, had always been his friend and confidante. His feeling was one of disappointment and helplessness.It was as if Carlota were a devil inside. Her obsession with having grandchildren was so great that she managed to trample over her son's feelings.Benjamim clenched his jaw, feeling his throat swell with the words trapped inside him. There were so many things he wanted to say to his mother, but, guided by Carlota’s hands, he was placed face-to-face with Alessia once again.He clenched his fists and bit his tongue, looking at her for the last time before Carlota turned on her heels and left him alone with his ex-fiancée.His thoughts were interrupted when Alessia unexpectedly caught up to him, throwing herself into his arms as if nothing had happened.“I’m so glad you came back, my love,” she said, euphoric as her lips traced a path from his neck up to his mouth.Benjamim grabbed her by t

  • The billionaire's secret son   Chapter 41

    Benjamim arrived home early that night. He found it strange that the house was so quiet. He called his mother’s name several times until a servant appeared, saying that Carlota had rushed out after receiving a phone call.Not only that, but he took his phone from his pocket and saw dozens of messages and missed calls from Carlota just minutes earlier.“Where did she go?” Benjamim asked the young man.“I don’t know, sir,” he replied, rubbing his neck. “She didn’t say where she was going.”After a few seconds of contemplating what to do, Benjamim put his phone back in his pocket and headed upstairs. He needed to take a shower first before dealing with the situation. Nothing could be worse than telling his mother that he had ended his engagement with Alessia.Carlota would be furious and disappointed when she found out that Benjamim had broken up with the only chance he had of having an heir. She was obsessed with the idea of having grandchildren. She dreamed of seeing the house full of

    Alessia celebrated her triumph, although she still felt slightly dizzy. She tried to stand up, but staggered to the side and almost fell. She was looking for her purse to grab her phone and make some calls.Where would she get the money to pay Fred?Alessia didn’t care how she would manage to do it; she would do anything for Benjamin to finally have him by her side. The thought of Antonella getting what was rightfully hers drove her to the brink of collapse.With trembling hands, she grabbed her phone and searched for one of the contacts in her phone book. She called several times until the concerned voice on the other end answered.“Miss Alessia.” Fabricio's frantic voice came through the line. “How is the boss?”“I didn’t call to talk about him,” she said impatiently, her indifference toward her father evident. “I need you to come to the hospital and bring enough money to pay for my father’s medical expenses.”“But, Miss,” Fabricio’s voice faltered with fear, but he continued, “we’r

    A nurse passing by found Alessia lying on the ground. The nurse passing by found Alessia lying on the ground and immediately took her to the emergency room. A few minutes later, Alessia woke up and seemed euphoric.“Where am I?” She tried to get up, but dizziness overwhelmed her. “Who are you?”“You’re in the hospital,” he said, as he gently took her by the arms and laid her down again. “And I’m Frederico, the nurse at this hospital, but you can call me Fred.”It was as if his voice calmed Alessia down. With her vision a little blurred, Alessia observed the boy in front of her. He wasn’t as strong as Benjamin nor as rich, but he was just as handsome, if not more so.But Alessia had no eyes for any man apart from Benjamin when she remembered what had happened and how Benjamin had ended it. Her eyes filled with tears and a continuous despair came over her. Alessia was on the verge of collapsing.For the second time, she tried to get up. She wanted to run down those corridors to meet her

  • The billionaire's secret son   Chapter 37

    When the elevator doors closed with Antonella inside, Benjamim felt another knot tightening in his throat. He could hardly believe that he had almost kissed her in front of his current fiancée.What was happening to him, after all? Why did Antonella stir up his deepest, most secret feelings? Why couldn’t he stop thinking about her since the day they slept together?But Antonella despised him, and he was engaged to her younger sister.There was no way this could end well. He wanted to end it as soon as possible. While he thought about it, something kept pulling him back, a sharp voice echoing in his head, begging him to explain himself.“What were you planning to do, Benjamim? “He turned to look at her reluctantly, but what Benjamim truly desired was to distance himself from Alessia’s scandals.” “Were you trying to kiss Antonella?”Alessia approached him, her heels lifting off the polished floor.
