Semua Bab The Billionaire's secret children: Bab 451 - Bab 460

Sitting in the VIP area, Victoria absentmindedly stroked the design paper in her hands. Before diving into the sketches, she typed a short message to Jackson:“Honey, remember to call me when you land.”She sent the message, turned off her phone, and concentrated, while the bodyguards kept a discreet watch around her.Salvador AirportTwo hours later, the plane landed smoothly on the runway. Jackson disembarked alongside the public relations team, his impeccable bearing as always drawing attention in the lobby.Vivian, like an insistent shadow, seized the opportunity. She approached with a calculated smile:"Mr. Carson, would you like some coffee?It will help you stay awake during the meeting.“Jackson hesitated for a moment. He wasn't one to accept kindness, but it was going to be a long day. With a brief nod, he agreed.”All right. Bring me one."Vivian's eyes sparkled. She spun on her h

Vivian blushed, embarrassed, but kept her composure.“Thank you for the reminder, Mrs. Carson.” She quickly covered her chest, forcing a smile before saying goodbye. “Good evening.”“Good evening,” Victoria replied with a victorious smile, laden with meaning.Vivian left the suite with her heart pounding. What was behind that smile? Insecurity... or complete confidence?As soon as the door closed, Victoria turned and, in one swift movement, sat on Jackson's lap. Her arms wrapped around his neck, her eyes sparkling with provocation.“So? What would have happened if I hadn't shown up?” she whispered defiantly.Jackson ignored the provocation, sliding his fingers tenderly across her face.“Besides you, Victoria, no other woman interests me.”His tone was not just one of desire—it was one of promise.“How do I know that? I'm pregnant now!” Victoria

Jackson carefully examined the contract in his hands. The official seal was there, intact—it was indeed the missing document. But something about it didn't add up. Jase was no amateur; he would never make such a childish mistake as to forget such an important contract.Jackson thanked him politely:“Okay, give it back.”Vivian handed over the contract and, with a delicate smile, turned to leave. But suddenly, as if fate had betrayed her, her high heel made a sharp sound against the floor. She twisted her ankle and fell heavily.The crack echoed through the room.Vivian bit her lip hard to keep from screaming.The pain was excruciating, but she endured it. This suffering is the price I must pay. If it weren't so, what good would all the cuts on my wrist, all the silent tears, do?Jackson, indifferent, opened the refrigerator, wrapped an ice cube in a clean towel, and handed it to her:“Put this o

Vanessa lowered her head, guilt weighing heavily on every word.“I could have stopped it... Jackson called me and asked me to take Vivian downstairs. But she sent me a message saying to wait for her at the restaurant. I believed her... and I obeyed.”Her eyes filled with tears again.“Victoria, it's my fault.”Victoria sighed. She approached her friend and held her shoulder firmly.“No, Vanessa. It's not your fault. You were used. You grew up in the military, in a straightforward world, without traps... it was natural to trust. But now you've learned. Never let yourself be fooled again.”Vanessa wiped her tears, her gaze hardening with determination.“I understand. I'll never blindly trust anyone again.”After a pause, she asked hesitantly:“But... are you just going to make Vivian apologize in public tomorrow?”Victoria looked up, her voice cold as steel

At the Carson mansion, life had returned to normal while Victoria and Jackson were away on business. Valentina, always dedicated, took care of Enzo and Lara with the help of two employees hired by Jackson. This made her tasks much easier.That morning, thinking about the couple's return, Valentina decided to prepare a nutritious soup for Victoria. With her bag already on her shoulder, she announced that she was going to the supermarket. But before she could take a step, two little whirlwinds surrounded her.“Valentina, don't go!” said Enzo, already speaking clearly, his voice firm like a grown boy's.Lara, still learning, just repeated her name insistently, clinging to her caregiver's legs as if afraid of losing her.Valentina's heart sank. The twins didn't like being with the staff. They only wanted her to be there.“Honey, be good. I'm just going to buy some ingredients to make soup for your mommy and daddy. I'll be back soon,&r
