All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Lost Family: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The beeping was everywhere, echoing off the walls like it was drilling straight into my skull. Ten seconds.Mom stood there, completely still, holding that trigger like it was nothing. Her eyes were locked on mine…calm, almost peaceful, like she was just waiting for me to crack and beg. Rose was sobbing harder now, these broken little gasps that tore at me. She kept glancing my way, like I was supposed to magically fix this whole nightmare.My brain was pure static. I couldn’t think straight.Damien’s hand was still wrapped around mine, gripping so tight it almost hurt. Like he was afraid I’d slip away if he let go.Nine seconds.I looked right at her. “I choose them,” I said. My voice came out shaky, but I forced it loud enough. “I choose my family. All of them. Not you.”Something in her face shifted. That fake calm cracked.“You’re making a mistake,” she said, flat and cold.Eight seconds.Damien tugged me backward. “We gotta move now.”Marcus and Victoria were already backing towa

We sat in the car for a moment. Just staring at that dark building ahead. The docks were quiet except for water slapping against the old wooden posts. My hands felt cold and clammy.Damien turned to me. His face dead serious.“I dont like this” he said. “Theyre expecting us. Its too quiet.”I looked at the message on my phone again. Welcome to the end sweetheart.“I have to go in” I said. My voice shook but I tried to sound sure. “They have Liam. I cant just sit here.”Damien reached over and touched my cheek. Gentle. “Then we go in together. But we stay smart. If anything feels wrong we get out.”I nodded.We got out of the car. Damien had two of his men with us but they stayed back like we agreed. We walked toward the old warehouse slow. The door was already open. Like someone was waiting.Inside it smelled like salt water and old wood. A few lights were on but most of the place stayed dark. At the far end of the big open space I saw them.My mother and father stood near a metal tab

We pulled up a block away from the address. The building looked like an old shipping office, dark windows and rusted metal. My hands were shaking so bad I had to grip my knees to stop them.Damien turned the engine off but didn’t move. He just stared ahead for a second like he was trying to pull himself together.“She’s my sister,” he said quietly. “All these years and she was never my mother. She was just waiting to take everything from me.”I reached over and touched his arm. “We don’t have time for that right now. Our kids are in there.”He nodded and looked at me. His eyes were full of so much anger and pain it hurt to see.“We go in together,” he said. “If anything goes wrong you get the kids out. I’ll handle the rest.”I didn’t argue. I just nodded.We got out of the car and walked toward the building. Every step felt heavier than the last. My heart was beating so loud I was scared they could hear it from inside.The front door was unlocked. Damien pushed it open slowly and we s

We stared at the photo on my phone. My father was alive. Standing right there next to the woman who raised Damien like nothing ever happened.Damien’s face went blank for a second. Then anger took over.“He was supposed to be dead,” he said. His voice came out low and tight. “I saw him go down.”I couldn’t stop looking at Liam in the background. He was crying so hard his whole body shook. The tape over his mouth made it worse.“We have to go,” I told Damien. My side burned with every breath but I pushed through it. “They’re waiting for us.”He looked at me like he wanted to argue. Instead he grabbed his keys and helped me stand. The pain shot through my side but I didn’t slow down. We left the hospital room without another word.The drive felt endless. Every light turned red on purpose. My mind kept showing me Liam’s face in that photo. Rose was safe for now but our son was still with them. My father. The woman who lied to Damien his whole life.Damien kept his eyes on the road. His h

We got in the car and just drove. Straight to this little private airstrip Marcus hooked up. The plane was already sitting there waiting. Damien tried to help me out but I told him I could do it myself. My side still hurt like hell, but I kept going anyway.We climbed in quickly. The pilot didn’t ask anything. He just started the engines as soon as we sat down.I looked out the window the whole time we took off. The city lights got smaller until they disappeared. Somewhere out there Liam was on another plane with my dad and that woman. I kept seeing his scared little face from that video. He looked so alone.Damien sat across from me. He was looking out his window too but I could tell he wasn’t really there. His mind was somewhere else.“We land in three hours,” he said. “Marcus got people waiting. They’ll have guns and a way inside.”I just nodded. My hands stayed tight in my lap.“What if we’re too late?” I asked. The words just came out.He looked at me. “We won’t be.”The plane fe
