All Chapters of Pregnant With the Billionaire's Forgotten Baby: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Elena stared at Lily.The little girl stood trembling beside her, tears shining in her eyes."He's my daddy."The words echoed through the chamber.Damien looked as though someone had struck him."Lily..."She stepped backward."Don't be angry.""I'm not angry."His voice was barely audible."Come here."Lily hesitated.Then she slowly walked toward him.Damien dropped to one knee.When she reached him, he opened his arms.She threw herself against him.Elena watched them.Something inside her chest tightened.A memory was trying to surface.A hospital room.Damien sitting beside her.A newborn crying.Lily.She could almost hear herself laughing.Then the memory vanished.Elena pressed a hand against her temple."Why can't I remember?"Her grandfather smiled."Because I made sure you wouldn't."She turned toward him."You altered my memories.""Not exactly.""What did you do?""I gave you something better."Elena's eyes narrowed."Better than the truth?""Peace."She laughed bitterly

Elena stared at Damien.For one terrible second, the entire room seemed to disappear.Only the woman's accusation remained.His own father.Damien's face had gone completely still."I didn't."The woman smiled."That's what he wants you to believe."Elena's voice trembled."Who are you?""My name is Clara.""You worked with Dr. Mason.""I did.""Then tell me the truth."Clara looked at Damien."Seven years ago, your son was born."Damien swallowed."I didn't know.""You were told he died."His eyes widened."What?"Clara nodded."Your father arranged everything."Damien shook his head."No.""He told you the baby didn't survive."Elena looked at Damien."Did he?"Damien's silence answered her.Elena's chest tightened."You knew about the pregnancy.""Yes.""You knew about the baby.""I was told there was a complication.""And you believed them?"Damien's voice broke."I was there when they told me he was dead."Elena stared."Who told you?""My father."Clara nodded."Exactly."Damien

Elena stared at the photograph in Victor's hand.Daniel.Newborn.The words written beneath his picture seemed to burn into her mind.THE ORIGINAL HEIR."No," she whispered.Victor didn't smile this time."There are many things your grandfather lied about, Elena. But that isn't one of them."Damien stepped in front of her."Put the photograph down."Victor's gaze shifted toward him."You still think this is about money.""It isn't?""No."Victor lifted the photograph."It's about inheritance."Elena tightened her arms around Daniel."What inheritance?"Victor looked at the boy."Everything your grandfather built."Daniel's small fingers curled around Elena's sleeve."He told me I was important."Elena looked down at him."You are."Victor shook his head."Not in the way you think."Damien's voice hardened."Enough riddles."Victor looked at him."Your father knew."Damien froze."Knew what?""That Daniel was born first."The room fell silent.Elena looked at Damien."First?"Victor no

09:58.The red numbers continued counting down.Elena stared at the recorder."What does activation mean?"Gabriel didn't answer immediately.Damien grabbed him by the shoulder."Answer her.""It means the system is going to begin the process your grandfather designed.""What process?""Testing Caleb's genetic response."Elena's arms tightened around her son."He's a baby.""I know.""Then stop it.""We're trying."09:21.Another cry echoed through the clinic.Elena looked toward the corridor."That isn't Caleb.""No."Gabriel's expression changed."It's a recording.""Why would they play a baby's cry?""To make you move."Damien looked around the room."Move where?"Gabriel pointed toward the far wall."There's another chamber."Elena's stomach dropped."Where?""Behind that wall."Damien immediately walked toward it.He ran his hands along the surface until he found a small metal panel.He pressed it.Nothing happened.Gabriel pulled a key from his pocket."Move."He inserted it.Th

Elena couldn't move.Damien's father stood at the end of the corridor, alive.For years, Damien had believed him dead.For years, Elena had believed the truth about her children had been buried with the past.Now the man who had supposedly died stood before them as though seven years had never passed.Damien stepped forward."You died."His father smiled faintly."That was the story.""You let me believe you were dead.""It was necessary.""For what?"His father's eyes moved toward Daniel."For him."Daniel immediately moved behind Elena.She wrapped an arm around him."Stay away from my children."The older man's expression remained calm."You still don't understand.""Then explain.""I will."He lowered the weapon."But not here."Victor laughed bitterly from the floor."You've always loved controlling the room."Damien's father looked at him."And you've always loved pretending you're the victim."Victor wiped blood from the corner of his mouth."You know what happens if she rememb
