The Betrayal That Built Her: The Billionaire's Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 6

*Alana*"Alana, the boss is looking for you," Emily tells me.I nod. "Has the meeting started already?"She shrugs. "I have no idea, but he did call for an emergency board meeting, and he has been asking for you."I walk to the boardroom, trying to hide the smile on my face. The thought of seeing Zion, and having to pretend like I didn't get up from his bed, and my thighs aren't a little shaky, makes me giddy.I take a deep breath, swallow, and I enter the office. The first thing I notice is the shift in the air.Everyone turns to look at me, but I put a polite smile on my face, and I turn to Zion. "Emily said you've been calling for me."His gaze is on me, and his jaw is clenched. “You think I do not know what you are, Alana?”I pause, fully confused.“Don’t act all confused now,” he says again.By now, everyone in the boardroom is looking at me. All twelve pairs of eyes are on me. I can’t help but feel a shiver run down my spine. “I do not understand, Zi-”“Sir!” He interrupts. “You

The tests in front of me are still POSITIVE, and I want nothing more than to pull my hair strand by strand.Pregnant and jobless.I don't know if I am fit for this.No, scratch that.There is no way I am fit for this.There is no way I am raising a child, let alone HIS.I hold onto the tests that now hold my fate in their hands, even though they have no idea.I do not even have a job yet, and based on the fact that I am now blacklisted, I will not be getting that job anytime soon.How am I supposed to raise a baby without being able to fund one?I also have to meet Zion, and it isn't something I thought I would do.Without forcing myself to think too much about it, I grab my phone with shaky hands and I dial his number. The call doesn't go through.I try again, but I can tell he has me blocked.I try my se

*Zion* The company that seems out for my blood remains unknown, and it annoys me even more than I want to admit. My parents haven't started questioning me yet, but I know it is only a matter of time before they do. They will remind me of why I am the Foster heir, and frankly, that is not what I want, which is why, when I walk into the office, the secretary is hot on my heels. "Sir, the emergency meeting has already started." I want nothing more than to run my hands through my hair, but I don't do that. Instead, I give her a tight nod, and I head to our boardroom. Everyone is already seated aside from one empty seat. "Is there a problem?" I can't help but ask when I see the grave faces on everyone’s faces. “I’m guessing you haven’t heard the news yet, then,” Rita, my sales manager, says. That leaves me confused, and she slides what looks like an article my way. My eyebrows furrow in confusion. I raise the article to read. When I read what is in front of me, my eyes widen. “
