บททั้งหมดของ HER BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET SON.: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Betty’s POV That night, I am unable to sleep. Each time I closed my eyes, the two pink lines that changed my entire life flashed in front of me on the pregnancy test strips. I had to tell Larry, I knew. He was entitled to know. But my chest was weighted with worry. Would he believe me? Would he refer to me as a gold-digging, and not just a slut? I had to try at least. Picked up my phone and sat on the edge of my bed. "All right, Betty. Just call him, you can do this... nothing to be afraid of, he isn't such a monster...I guess.” I gave myself a pep talk before punching Larry's number with my shaky fingers. After the first ring, the call cut mid-way. "Hey?...Larry?” I said into the cold silence on the phone. However, the call was already over. I gave it another go, but this time it didn't ring. It immediately went to voicemail. It's Larry Ronan here. Make a note. His voice made my heart skip a beat. I talked quickly. "It's me, Betty, Larry. I must speak with you. It's crucial. Cal

Betty’s POV My heart was racing as I stood at Larry's mansion's entrance. "Megan, you and Liam are moving in here," he added, his piercing eyes never leaving me Beginning today. My mouth quivered. "Listen, Larry, I can not; this life and this place are not mine. I don't fit in here.” His voice was firm but chilly. He folded his arms across his chest. “It has nothing to do with your desires. It has to do with safety. You and Liam will remain in my house. I will not expose my son to danger.” his words lacked emotion or any form of tenderness as he meant to. "Safety? Liam and I were doing just fine before you came along.? He clenched his jaw. "Don't deceive yourself. You are powerless to turn me away. He is my son. My blood. This is where he belongs.” His words were like chains pressing down on me. Unaware of the turmoil between us, Liam was playing with his toy car by my side when I turned to face him. My chest hurt. I suppressed my pride and refrained from screaming. "All right,"

Megan's povThe room went dead silent.Megan felt like the air had been sucked out of her lungs. She had never used that word with Liam. She had always referred to Larry as "the man" or "Larry." But the children were observant. Liam had seen the photos she’d tucked away; he’d heard the way the maid spoke.Larry froze. The calculated, boardroom-ready mask he wore didn't just crack, it shattered. He stared at the boy, his mouth slightly open. For the first time since Megan had arrived, he looked human. Vulnerable, even."I..." Larry cleared his throat, his voice sounding uncharacteristically rough. "If your mother agrees, yes. We can go to the park."Liam beamed, his face sticky with syrup. "Yay! Park!"Larry looked at Megan. The power dynamic hadn't shifted entirely, but the atmosphere had. He looked shaken."I’ll arrange a vehicle," Larry said, his voice regaining some of its steel, though he wouldn't meet her eyes. "A driver will stay with you, but they will keep their distance. Does

The morning light in the mansion didn't creep in; it felt like it was granted permission by the heavy automated curtains. Megan woke up to the soft whir of the fabric sliding back, revealing a gray, misty morning. Liam was already awake, sitting at the foot of the bed and quietly lining up his plastic dinosaurs on the duvet."Morning, bug," Megan mumbled, sitting up and rubbing her eyes."Mommy, look. The T. rex is eating the leaf," Liam said, pointing to a very confused-looking carnivore."I think he'd prefer a steak, but let's go with the leaf for now."She felt a strange weight in her chest as she watched him. He looked so comfortable here. That was the danger. Children adapted to luxury with terrifying speed. In a week, he’d forget the sound of the radiator clanking in Seattle; in a month, he’d think everyone had a personal chef named Elena.After dressing in the simplest clothes she had left, a pair of dark jeans and a forest-green sweater, she led Liam down to the breakfast room
