All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Lost Family: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

We stood on that cliff with Liam pressed against me. The sirens grew louder. Police cars pulled up below. The woman who pretended to be Damien’s mother lay on the ground, hands cuffed behind her back. She kept smiling like none of this mattered.Damien lowered the gun but didn’t let go of it. He looked at me.“It’s over,” he said. His voice sounded empty.I nodded even though it didn’t feel true. My father was gone. She was caught. Liam was safe in my arms. But that last message kept playing in my head.The real game starts now.We walked down toward the cars. One of the officers took the woman away. Another led us to an ambulance to check on Liam. He stayed glued to my side the whole time. He didn’t say much. Just held my hand tight.Damien stepped away to talk to Marcus. I watched him from the ambulance door. His shoulders were tight. He kept running a hand through his hair.When he came back his face looked darker.“She’s already talking,” he said. “Telling them everything about yo

We drove through the dark with the drive still in my pocket. Victoria’s blood was on my hands. I kept seeing her face when she told us to run. Damien stayed quiet but his jaw stayed tight the whole way.The address led us to an old building near the water. It looked empty from the outside. We parked a block away and walked the rest of the way on foot. My side pulled with every step but I kept moving.We reached the door and stopped.Damien looked at me. “Stay behind me.”I nodded.He pushed the door open slow. Inside it was dark and cold. We stepped in together.At the far end of the room the kids sat on the floor. Liam had his arm around Rose. Both of them looked up when they saw us. Rose started crying the second she spotted me.I ran to them and pulled them into my arms. Liam held on tight. Rose buried her face in my shirt.Damien stayed standing with his gun up. He scanned the room.A voice came from the shadows.“You actually came.”The woman stepped out. The one who pretended to

We stared at the message. The address glowed on the screen. My hands shook as I read it again.Damien took the phone from me. “We're going there now.”We started running. The road felt endless. Liam and Rose stayed close, quiet but scared. Every sound in the dark made me jump.We reached the place after what felt like hours. It was an old house at the end of a dirt road. Lights were on inside. A car sat out front.Damien stopped us behind some trees. He looked at the house then back at me.“Stay here with the kids,” he said. “I’ll check it first.”I shook my head. “We go together.”He didn’t argue. We moved slowly toward the house. My heart beat hard in my chest. I kept one hand on each of the kids.The front door was open a little. We stepped inside.The living room was empty. Then I heard a sound from the back.We followed it.In the kitchen Liam and Rose from the message sat tied to chairs. My mother stood behind them with a gun. She smiled when she saw us.“You made it,” she said.

The photo burned into my screen. Liam and Rose sat somewhere I didn’t know. Scared. Alone again.Damien grabbed the phone and stared at it. His face went hard fast.“They took them back,” he said. His voice came out low and sharp.I felt like someone had punched me in the chest. We had just gotten them out. Now they were gone again.He started making calls right away. Marcus. His men. Anyone who could help. I stood there trying to breathe through the panic rising in my throat.“We need to find where this photo came from,” he said after hanging up. “Marcus is tracking it now.”I nodded but my mind kept showing me their faces in that picture. Liam trying to stay brave. Rose looking small and lost.My phone buzzed again.Another message.This one had an address.Damien looked at it then at me.“We go,” he said.We drove fast. The city turned into empty roads. Neither of us spoke much. Every minute felt like we were losing more time.When we reached the address it was an old warehouse nea

Chapter 80We stared at the message. My mother had the kids. Again. I felt the air leave my lungs.Damien paced the hospital room. His hands stayed in fists. “She was supposed to be dead. We saw her fall.”I sat up even though my shoulder screamed. “She’s not. And she has Liam and Rose.”He stopped moving and looked at me. His eyes were dark. “We go after her tonight. No more waiting.”I nodded. The pain in my side didn’t matter anymore. Nothing did except getting our children back.He made calls fast. Marcus. His remaining men. Anyone who could help. I listened while he gave orders. His voice stayed steady but I could hear the anger underneath.When he hung up he came back to the bed. “We have a location. An old estate outside the city. She’s holding them there.”I swung my legs over the side of the bed. “Then let’s go.”He helped me stand. The room spun a little but I stayed on my feet. We walked out together. No one tried to stop us.We drove in silence at first. The city lights bl
