Lahat ng Kabanata ng His hidden heir : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Her lungs were on fire.Her legs moved, desperate, wild.The sound of gravel against her foot resounded in her ears as she ran for her life.The world blurred into streaks of streetlights and shadows as they sprinted through the deserted highway, the echo of Marcus’s body hitting the wall still pounding through her skull.She still felt the heat of Alex’s hands pulling her away from that alley, from the blood, from the truth that had completed changed their lives in a single, violent instant.Marcus, the kingpin’s son. The one man no one in this city was allowed to touch.And Alex had killed him for her.Sirens screeched somewhere behind them, slicing the night open. The cops and goons were gaining in on them.“Alicia!” Alex shouted, his voice desperate as they veered off the road and got deeper into the forest.Roots snagged at their feet. Branches slammed into their faces. But they kept running.Alicia’s eyes locked on Alex’s outstretched hands. Only few feet apart.She wanted to hol

The next day.Zara was sitting across Alicia’s bed when she opened her eyes.She yawned and said;“Why didn’t you wake me up earlier? I have so much to do today.”“Des took care of everything. Your whole schedule is cleared.” Zara folded her arms. “And we need to talk.”“About what?”“About why you have been burying yourself in work ever since Renad left.”Renad was her ex-boyfriend who jilted her mercilessly.Alicia’s chest tightened. “I am fine.”“I know when something is wrong.” Zara’s voice softened. “He promised you everything and then disappeared. And now you bite the head off anyone who gets close. I saw Alex do absolutely nothing to you last night, and you reacted like he insulted your entire family.”She suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday and got red with embarrassment again.“Don’t talk about that annoying man!”“Huh?”She remembered the way he kissed her hand and how she had thought about it all night before going to bed. She hated the flutter in her heart she g

The car door swung open and Alex slid inside, tension already tightening his shoulders.“Everyone needs to calm down. I’m fine,” he said sharply. “Tan, drive.”The car pulled away from the curb in a hard swerve. Alex tapped his ear connector. “Talk. What happened?”Tan’s voice crackled through the line. “The message we sent was intercepted. Our dealers must have received the wrong instructions. The warehouse was reported on fire a few minutes ago, but it should be contained by now, Sir.”Alex’s jaw locked. Of all things—fire. One of his key buildings burning, and the very element that haunted him since childhood. The memory alone scraped at the edges of his mind.Fog pooled inside the car, his vision blurring as panic pressed against his chest. He clenched his fists, forcing the breath back into his lungs. “Should be contained?” His voice sharpened. “Are you guessing, or have you already handled it?”Tan hesitated. Even from the front seat, Alex could feel his fear. “The boys are on it

Alex didn’t know how it happened, but he knew when it did. The day things started to fall apart.Things had been going fine before. He and Alicia were going strong. She was such a loving girlfriend and he sometimes wondered how life would have been if he had never opened himself to her and gotten with her.He loved her. He loved her so much. She made him so happy and he wanted to spend all his life with her.But then one night she’d asked him about children out of nowhere.That night he’d been asleep and when he stirred awake he noticed she was sitting up in bed, lost in thought and looking tense, a little pale.He gave her a concerned look and asked;"Alicia, what's on your mind? Are you okay? Why are you not sleeping?”"Alex, what do you think about having kids?“He stirred, yawning, sleep still in his eyes, and replied,“I don't want any children. I don't want to ever become a father. I don't need any children."“What?” she said. He repeated himself. She looked at him for a while

“I still can’t believe you are pregnant,” Zara said.They were sitting by the verandah watching the city lights below.“I can’t believe it either,” Alicia said, her hands rubbing her belly.“Have you told Alex?”“No.”“Why?”“Because…Hmgh!” Alicia felt a sharp pain in her bellyZara noticed her discomfort. "Are you alright? You look pale.""My stomach...my baby. Take me to the hospital now. I need to....Arrghhh!" she screamed."You're what? Let me call Alex, I need to...""No, please! Alex must not know about this. Take me there first!"Sweat broke on her face, and she screamed again."Can you walk? Let me get your car!" Zara said and rushed out.………Alex was at a restaurant when two men approached him. He knew instantly that they were men of the George family.He'd been waiting for the day her father would finally show his hands. He after all knew about the enemity between the two families and that they won't take lightly him dating their daughter.“We just want to talk,” they said.
