All Chapters of The Billionaire DNA Match: Chapter 101 - Chapter 108

[Emily]Elias's car was parked down the street, exactly where he'd left it the night before. He'd mentioned something about not wanting to wake the neighbours, which I found both considerate and surprising.He stopped by the flat again, this time fully dressed and put together, to help me drop Hayden off at school since he was running late.The three of us walked to his car like some strange, wonderful family."Can I sit in the front?" Hayden asked."Absolutely not," I replied at the same time as Elias said, "Of course."We exchanged looks, and I sighed. "Fine, but only because it's a short drive."Hayden's joy was contagious, and by the time we pulled up to Bayview Elementary, his excitement was practically vibrating off him."This is the best morning ever!" he announced, unbuckling his seatbelt. "I got to ride in a fancy car, and I'm going to tell Marcus all about it.""Don't forget your backpack," I said, handing it to him.He took it, then turned to Elias. "Elias, will you come to

[Lucent]The taxi pulled up to the entrance of LensCorp, and I stared at the building through the rain-streaked window as if it were the source of all my problems. Which, I suppose, it was.I paid the driver and stepped out, the humidity hitting me like a wet blanket. This city was nothing like any in Russia. Here, the air was thick and heavy, and everything moved at a slower pace that grated on my nerves. I was used to the sharp cold of Saint Petersburg, the way the winter wind cut through you and kept you sharp. But here, it felt as though the city itself was trying to lull you into complacency.I walked toward the glass doors, my jaw tight, my hands clenched at my sides. I could only think about the phone call from the man whose sperm had birthed me this morning. Every word exchanged was still ringing in my ears, and each step closer to the building only framed the flames of my anger."Lucent, I've decided to make some changes to your position at LensCorp. Elias brought up some val

[Lucent] Cyrus leaned forward, "Take a guess." The words hung in the air between us, heavy and damning. I stared at him, my mind reeling. "He's killed before?" I didn't know if it was a statement or an expression of how shocked I was. "You're lying to me, I know you are." There's no way Elias is a murderer. I've done a lot of bad things in my life, but killing someone, the thought had never crossed my mind, despite how much I resented them, probably because I've had death staring me in the face ever since I was young. "Am I?" Cyrus's eyes were cold as he said. "You know nothing about your brother. How can you call me a liar?" He paused, letting his words sink in. "Elias is no innocent fool; he's got everyone wrapped around the false image he's created for himself. Even you." "What are you trying to say?" I demanded, suddenly tired of his twisted words and games. "I was there when he made the call to your father. He got you off the position, didn't he?" Cyrus's words rekindled

[Emily]"Are you sure?" I asked, even though I already knew. Even though I could see Lucent watching us from across the room, his eyes widening as he took in my reaction."I'm sure, Em." Lisa's eyes filled with worry. "He's going to be working with us. Every day. He's your …he's your colleague now."My knees felt weak. I gripped Lisa's arm tighter, using her to steady myself. This was a nightmare. It has to be. Any second now, I'd wake up in my bed, and none of this would be real.But I didn't wake up because this was real. This was happening.Lucent Volkov, the man who had called me a whore, the man who had looked at me with those cold blue eyes and told me I was nothing, was going to be working in the same office as me. Sitting in the cubicle right next to mine.And did he have to sit right next to me?!Did Elias know about this? I had to talk to him. I had to understand how this had happened."I'll be right back," I said, my voice steady even though my hands trembled with anger. "I
