The Billionaire's Missing Heir のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Gwen opened and closed her mouth several times before being able to form a proper sentence. "What did you say?" She definitely hadn't heard correctly. She couldn't have. They barely knew each other, how could he be falling for her?"I know, I told you it would sound crazy, but it's true. I can't stop thinking about you, and yesterday was only a confirmation of that," Cody explained, but nothing made sense to Gwen.It was not plausible and she didn't know what to say in return to that affirmation. "Clyde, I mean… Maybe you're mistaken. Perhaps that's just some affection you felt, we… You don't even know me," Gwen stuttered, trying to find a way to reply without being rude or hurting his feelings.One thing was certain though, she did not feel the same way. After kissing Finn the previous night, it only became clearer to her that her feelings for her son's father were still very much strong, and she couldn't do anything about it. Fight against that was in vain and a waste of time. Now

"I already gave you a chance to disappear with your son forever but, apparently, you decided that our agreement was over. I'm only going to advise you once. Take your kid and get the hell out of this town, leave Finn for good, or face the consequences. You already know what they are."Gwen read the letter twice, her hands shaking compulsively. It was hard to breathe, her legs didn't seem to be following her command, and her brain was numb. She knew that was a possibility, but she wasn't expecting it any time soon. Just when she decided to try to make things work with Finn again. It was like she was being watched. Luck was definitely not on her side.She had to leave. Leave Finn, leave town, leave this new life behind; a life she shouldn't have allowed herself to live in the first place. She had been threatened before, but even so, she decided to play with fate.Now she would have to pay if she didn't do anything. Gathering the strength she didn't know she had, Gwen got up from the fl

"What did you just say? My mother?" Finn repeated. He couldn't have heard it correctly. "Yes," Gwen hiccupped, feeling an enormous weight lift off her shoulders. It was the first time she said it out loud since she told Stephanie about it. But reveal it to Finn specifically was entirely different. She had finally said the truth to him, and even though she was relieved for letting it out of her heart, she knew the worst was yet to come. "Are you kidding me? I know my mother is complicated, but accusing her of something of this sort is pretty evil, Gwen." he commented, frowning."I'm not accusing her, Finn. It's the truth, okay? She came to me on the day I found out I was pregnant. I don't even know how she knew about us, let alone about my pregnancy, but she told me to leave you or I could never see my child after I gave birth, she would make sure of it," she explained, desperate.Finn sneered."Come on, do you think my mom is that evil? Why would she do that to her own grandson or ev

It took hours for Gwen to finally fall asleep; she listened to the soft breathing of her friend for hours, touched that Stephanie had refused to leave her side. Gwen was still very shaken up, and her friend thought it would be better to keep an eye on her.The next morning, Gwen didn't feel like going to work or even getting up from her bed. All possible worst-case scenarios were taking turns inside her head the whole night, as Gwen fought her own brain to stop suffering with anticipation.She would have to trust fate, and also Finn. He was a billionaire after all, so he wouldn't leave his only heir to walk around the city without protection. He probably had security guards watching Cody. Or at least she hoped he did.She would have to think of a way to prove to him that she was telling the truth, but that would take time and she had no idea where to begin. Marcy was a very powerful woman, perhaps even more than Finn. There was no way she would show her nasty, conniving side to her son

It never crossed Gwen's mind that she would bump into Finn in this event. He hadn't mentioned anything to her, but giving it a second thought, he didn't have to. They were not a couple, and Cody was staying with her that night, so he could do whatever he wanted.But seeing him there, extremely handsome and sexy, drinking from his glass of whisky, was not the distraction that Gwen had in mind for the evening.She wanted to forget about all the things that happened in the last few days, and not have to stare to one of the main reasons she was trying to have a night off.Looking at Finn, it was evident that he wasn't comfortable with her there either. In fact, his body radiated anger and annoyance ever since their eyes met. Gwen was trying very hard to avoid him, pretending he wasn't even there, but it was like their eyes were magnets that were attracted to each other.Clyde was being very friendly with everyone around him, so she wasn't sure if he had noticed Finn's presence or not. As f
