All Chapters of The Billionaire's Detective: Chapter 41 - Chapter 49

CONRADI'm seated on the hotel's balcony, watching the stars. Crazy how time flies. Years ago, Rose used to be so in love with me. Memories flash through my mind. Memories of her skipping several periods just to spend time with me. I remember her trying to learn pottery because she heard that my grandmother used to make beautiful mugs, and I loved my grandmother, and she thought learning it would make me happy.When she told me that she was learning pottery, it was during the time Dad left, and I was going through a hard time, so I yelled at her and told her to get lost. But later on, because I didn't want to lose the bet, I apologized. The bet was a hundred bucks; it was a lot of money at the time, and I needed it, but I lost her completely in exchange for a few bucks. It's a decision I'll forever regret. I lost her forever. There's no affection in her eyes for me when I look into them. And every time our eyes meet, I compare them to the ones in high school, the eyes that were full o

ROSEA month laterThe past month has been hectic. From my mom calling daily asking why I survived the injury to my dad always pleading with me to appeal for my sister's release—she's pregnant, and her stomach is getting bigger by the day. I don't care if the baby stays or dies; I mean, they killed mine, so I literally see nothing wrong with her losing hers either.As for Conrad, after the nurse called that day, Dante decided to go in my place. I know it's his way of taking responsibility for my condition, but still, I'm beginning to find it a bit too much.For Conrad, I make sure I do everything possible to make sure he doesn't meet Arabella. Each time he instigates coming over, I send Arabella to Chloe's place and then make him believe Arabella has been there before he decided to come over. He's beginning to get suspicious, but it's none of my business.Three days ago, he came unannounced and nearly met Arabella, but I was smart enough to have her hide in the room until the bad uncl

ROSE I stare at Dante, waiting for him to react to the slap, but he says nothing. Logan reluctantly stands up from the floor, sitting back as if nothing has happened. I still wonder where Arabella found the guts to slap someone nearly twice her size; the boy looks really chubby that I can't help but doubt if he's truly twins with Jordan. I still doubt it, but I dare not ask. I guess it's just another secret Dante and his ex-wife don't want to share with the world. How come I didn't notice all of this the whole time? There is so much difference between Logan and Jordan; they barely look alike. Their voices, their heights, and their statuses are way too different. They look nothing like twins. I should have known better. It was the same boy I saw in Jessica's apartment that day. I didn't get to see his full body, so I couldn't tell the details bluntly. The whole thing makes me realize how Lavender mana

DANTEI stare in the direction Jordan went until he is out of sight.For five minutes, I can't say a thing. I can feel my stomach rumbling, not out of hunger or thirst but something much deeper than that. Fear grips me; the shock forces numbness down my joints. Jordan, of all people, knew all these years but didn't bother telling me about it. I can only imagine how much I've neglected my fatherly duty. If I had taken my duties seriously, then I would have known all this and he might have said something about it to me. But hell, I didn't even have time for myself, let alone my child.Even though it's Lavender's fault, I shouldn't always shift the blame to her. At this point, blaming someone is the last thing on my mind."Dante... are you okay?" Rose, who has been staring numbly at me, asks. I nod, forcing a smile on my face."I understand how you feel, Dante. But I suggest you don't stress yourself so much; it already happened. The only thing you can do at this moment is find a way to
