Semua Bab The billionaire's secret son: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Dominique celebrated the fact that Antonella had agreed to work with Benjamin, but she still had little reason to smile. Still feverish and in pain, she had no choice but to work with the man she hated just to ensure a decent future for Adam.“It’s a shame that Benjamin is going to marry that shrew of a sister of yours,” she said, sipping a glass of wine sitting in front of the fireplace, but the alcohol was starting to take its toll. “Today is their engagement party, and I wasn’t even invited.”“Engagement party?” Antonella stood up, annoyed. “It’s only been two days since my mother died, and they’re throwing a party?”“Don’t get carried away, Antonella,” Dominique sneered at her pain, although that wasn’t his actual intention; “this engagement was scheduled before your mother died.”“They should have called it off then,” she hurried ac

Benjamin spun on his heels and entered the office without waiting for the women to follow him. When Antonella found herself alone with Dominique, she wanted to grab her by the neck and strangle her to death.“I asked you to keep your mouth shut,” she whispered, yet her words conveyed all her displeasure with Dominique.“I’m sorry, how could I have known he was behind us, listening to everything?”Dominique felt palpitations, as if her heart were failing. She closed her eyes as if intending to forget what had just happened, beginning to regret having accepted that job.“Pray he didn’t hear anything,” she said, looking into Dominique’s eyes again, “because I’ll have to flee this city once more.”Dominique felt the guilt consume her entirely until she heard Benjamin’s voice for the second time. He was not a man who needed to issue the same command twice. But there he was aga

An unbearable pain invaded Antonella’s head. Blood stained her forehead as Dominique pressed a napkin against the wound to stop the bleeding. “We’re going to the hospital,” she said, holding Antonella’s arm, intending to take her for medical care, but Antonella was resolute. “You’re asking to lose this job, Dominique,” she said, forcing her to stop and look into her eyes. “You need to focus on convincing your boss to drop this crazy idea of finding out where we live.” Dominique rolled her eyes and felt she was about to lose her patience with Antonella’s stubbornness. “Do you really think anyone can convince Benjamim of anything?” She let out a smile that left Antonella confused. “That man is authoritarian and gets whatever he wants. What I can do is go back to my old house and convince him that the two of us are livin

Benjamin shook his head as he looked at the handcuffs squeezing his wrists. It was freezing and gave him a feeling of vulnerability. Benjamin hated feeling this way.“Is all this really necessary?” he asked, raising his fists and showing the shiny object to the deputy. “I don’t remember hurting anyone today. I’m injured and in need of medical attention. I demand that you release me immediately.”He stood up to face Benjamin and seemed to have a grudge against the city’s most famous billionaire. He looked at him with disdain, and a debauched smile appeared on his lips.“It’s not because you’re the richest man in this city that I’m going to follow your orders, Mr. Dylon,” Benjamin expected. “You’re the boss of your employees, and I’m not one of them.Benjamin regretted having to find Vladir in that situation. The deputy was just waiting for an opportunity to make him p

Enrico seemed petrified. His face expressed no reaction, which at first worried Benjamin greatly. He shouldn’t feel this way. After all, he despised Antonella, and no longer considered her his daughter, but Enrico’s legs were losing strength, and he only didn’t fall over because Benjamin himself stopped him.“We didn’t need to have this conversation now.” Alessia was hysterical, and there was no concern for her father’s condition. “I was going to tell him, but you didn’t trust me.”“We have a lot to talk about.” Benjamin looked at her with contempt. It was unbelievable that she wasn't concerned about Enrico’s condition, “but now I need to help your father.”The maid hastily summoned Carlota and suggested they call a doctor, but Enrico soon recovered, and his face took on a colorful hue that wiped away all the pallor.His gaze fell on Alessia. She cringed, knowing how furious he was. The last thing Alessia wanted was to make Enrico frustrated with her.“Why did you lie?” His voice was
