A Night With The Drugged Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Fear and shock washed over Eva as she stood in place, her feet seemingly fastened to the floor. Her heart pounded in her chest. She couldn't believe this was happening, couldn't believe her son was going to be disappointed the first time meeting his father. She had imagined this moment so many times, carefully constructed every possibility in her head, but not this. Never this.With a shaky breath, she mustered the courage, pushed the door open wider, and entered the room."Good evening," she began, her voice light and nervous. "I'm sorry he just barged in like that." She forced a smile and reached down to take Elijah's hand in hers.Eli glanced at the men, unsure if he had done something wrong."Elijah," Senior Rhodes said, his eyebrows raised in curiosity as he looked down at the boy, already beginning to piece the puzzle together.Elijah blinked, recognition hitting him. "Stanley, what are you doing here?" he asked with a squint."This is my house," Stanley smiled kindly. "And this

Eva was overjoyed with how everything played out. Her heart felt full, saturated with a happiness she hadn't felt in years. Dorian had embraced Elijah with an open heart, and the way he accepted him as his son left Eva both stunned and deeply touched. The image of Dorian's face lighting up as Elijah presented the carefully chosen gifts, each one picked with so much thought and innocence remained etched in her memory. His surprise, his gratitude, the softening in his eyes... It made everything worth it.She felt a sense of peace. For the first time in a long time, everything in her life felt like it was falling into place. She had stability, love, and the possibility of a real family. And she silently prayed it would continue this way.The next morning, Dorian made sure to call Eva bright and early right before she dropped Elijah off at school. He wanted to hear his son's voice again, to wish him a great day, and to assure him he'd be thinking about him. Eva watched as Elijah smiled ea

After leaving the Trent compound, Eva arrived back at her office around 3 p.m. The day had already been long, but she was still running on adrenaline and purpose. She sat down at her desk, unwrapped her late lunch, grilled chicken salad and a protein bar, and cracked open an energy drink to push through the rest of the workday.The cool fizz of the drink hit the back of her throat, giving her the kick she needed. She wiped her hands with a napkin, took one last bite of her salad, and turned back to the documents waiting on her desk. Her eyes scanned the pages as she signed off on a few renovation estimates, double-checked material lists, and organized her thoughts for an upcoming client proposal.After wrapping up her paperwork, she got up and headed down the hallway to Leeann's office with a manila folder tucked under her arm. The office walls echoed softly with muted conversation and the rhythmic clatter of typing from various assistants and staff members.She knocked lightly on the

Dorian, Eva, and Elijah arrived at Senior Rhodes' house around two in the afternoon. The weather was perfect for a family gathering.As soon as they entered, Dorian offered to help out in the kitchen, but both Eva and Mary insisted that he relax. The two women had already taken over, confidently commanding the culinary battlefield with aprons tied and spoons in hand. Two of the estate's kitchen staff moved swiftly in the background, assisting with chopping, stirring, and prepping.Eva was making her signature shrimp pasta salad with creamy mushrooms and a bright lemon-garlic sauce. Mary worked beside her, carefully toasting slices of garlic bread and preparing a golden pineapple upside-down cake, the syrupy glaze bubbling to perfection.Senior Rhodes, known affectionately as Stanley, had become very fond of Mary and her old-school recipes. They reminded him of his late mother's Sunday meals.Meanwhile, out on the back patio, Dorian, Stanley, and Elijah set up for a little father-son-g

Dorian broke a few traffic laws as he sped through the streets, hell-bent on getting to Eva's office. His grip tightened on the steering wheel with every red light he ignored and every horn that blared at him in protest. He didn't care. All that mattered now was getting to Eva and getting to the bottom of the mystery that was Kevin Trent.He pulled up to her building in record time, barely taking the time to park properly. With his jaw tight and eyes sharp, he stormed through the lobby and took the elevator up. The folder in his hand felt heavier with every passing second.When he stepped into her office suite, he found her seated at her desk, wrapping up a virtual meeting with the senator's wife via FaceTime. She was smiling, poised, the consummate professional. Dorian waited patiently by the door, clutching the manila folder as though it contained the key to a ticking time bomb."Goodbye, Mrs. Schumer," Eva said, flashing a warm smile before clicking the end button.As soon as the c
