For The Blind Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

Hayden’s POVThe sound of metal gun hitting polished wood was soft and gentle.But it might as well have been a gunshot.I watched as Aiden placed the gun on the dining table between us like it was nothing more than an additional utensil.He still wore a calm face meanwhile, he may have just made a corspe in another room.Charlotte’s breath caught beside me.My body tensed instinctively, every muscle locked.But under the table, I reached for Charlotte’s hand.I found it immediately.I intertwined my fingers with hers and squeezed gently.I’m here.She squeezed back.I could feel her pulse racing.Across from us, Aiden smiled as if he had just told a joke.“My apologies,” he said lightly, adjusting his seat. “One can never be too careful these days.People can be annoying, can't they?”I only nodded once, forcing a smile.He straightened his tie, the blood on it had already dried up.The doors opened and servants began bringing in dishes… perfectly plated courses, steaming and fragran

Chapter 144Hayden’s POVThe morning sun filtered through the glass walls of my office tower, bathing the entire floor in a soft golden hue.It felt like a new beginning.For the first time in days, I allowed myself to focus on something other than Aiden.Maxwell Enterprises stood tall…literally and figuratively. The building hummed with activity as employees moved with purpose, assistants walked briskly down hallways and analysts clustered around screens in discussion. The low murmur of productivity filled the air.Everything was stable and normal as can be… I stepped out of the elevator onto the executive floor and nodded at the receptionist.“Good morning, Mr. Maxwell.”“Morning.”My stride was steady as I walked toward my office. The glass doors opened automatically and I stepped through. When I reached my desk, papers were already scattered around it. Some maybe business reports, or maybe revenue projections, acquisitions updates and some the quarterly growth summaries.Stro

Hayden POVI couldn’t sit even for a full minute.I paced the length of my office and back for what felt like the hundredth time.Aiden. My half-brother. The man I had thought dead. How could he have this kind of hold over me? How could he walk into my life, act casually, and suddenly everything I’d worked for … everything Charlotte and I had built… feel as if it were teetering on a knife’s edge?I shook my head, forcing my thoughts back to reason.I couldn’t let him control me. I couldn’t allow him to use Charlotte and our unborn child to manipulate me, or the company. That much was non-negotiable.“Sir,” Lyra’s voice cut through my thoughts.I turned to see her standing in the doorway, her expression carefully neutral, though I knew she was tense. “He’s here,” she said simply. “Aiden is here for the meeting.”I inhaled deeply, pressing my fingers against my temples for a moment. “Alright,” I said, my voice low, controlled. “Let’s do this.”The room we met in was neutral. Here there

Charlotte POVThe house was quiet.It pressed against my ears in a way that made it hard to breathe.I stood by the window for a long time… just staring out.I wasn’t even looking at anything anymore.I was just… thinking.Or maybe trying not to.Everything felt wrong.I exhaled slowly and moved away from the window.The room felt colder than it should.My hand lifted unconsciously… resting against my stomach.The baby.I left out a soft breath allowing myself to take in a few breaths.My child..our child…Does she deserve all this?! No, she doesn't…In this war or whatever this was between Hayden and Aiden, there was her…there was my baby.Something that didn’t deserve to be dragged into all of this.My jaw tightened slightly.What kind of life was I walking into?No…What kind of life was I bringing her into?The thought sat heavy in my chest.I turned away, pacing around slowly.Back and forth. Back and forth.I was trying to shake off the thought, but to no use.It clung tightly i

Hayden POV“The LAPD is here.”The room reacted before I did.Slowly, but surely the murmurs, th panic, chairs scraping and moving filled the room. But, I stayed still.So this was how he played it.Aiden leaking false info about my company and now tipping the LAPD to come here…I let the silence stretch just long enough for the panic to take shape.“Mr. Hayden?” Collins said from my left, his voice already thinning. “We need to respond to this. We can’t just sit—”The doors opened widely, not even knock this time.They walked in like they already owned the place.Three of the police force stepped in, dressed sharply in their uniforms and then more followed in.Every conversation immediately died.“Mr. Hayden,” he said, stepping forward, already pulling something from inside his jacket. “We have a warrant to search these premises.”He held it out.I took it quickly, my eyes already scanning.The paper was official and signed legally. At least, thus part of Aidan’s plan wasn’t a farce
