THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTBy Esty’sCHAPTER 13 – THE STRANGER’S CALLPart 3 – The Secret Catherine Kept“Jonathan!”Emily dropped to her knees beside him.His body lay motionless against the damp forest floor.For one terrifying second, she thought he was dead.Then his chest moved.Barely.“He’s breathing,” Alexander said.His voice was calm, but his eyes were sharp.“We need to get him out of here.”Emily looked toward the trees.The mysterious man was gone.But the sound of approaching footsteps remained.“Alexander…”“I know.”He carefully lifted Jonathan.“Stay close.”Emily followed.Branches scratched against her arms as they moved deeper into the forest.Behind them, voices grew louder.“They went this way!”“Check the road!”“Don’t let Reed escape!”Alexander moved quickly.Jonathan was heavier than he looked, but Alexander refused to put him down.Emily stayed beside him.“Is he going to survive?”“I don’t know.”“Can we get him to a hospital?”“Not a public one.”“Why?

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTBy Esty’sCHAPTER 13 – THE STRANGER’S CALLPart 5 – The Name on the CardEmily stared at the tiny memory card in Alexander’s hand.It was almost impossible to believe that something so small could contain the answer to a question that had haunted her entire life.Her father’s death.The Kingston family.Project Orion.The missing millions.Jonathan Reed’s disappearance.Her mother’s secrets.Everything seemed to lead back to that tiny piece of plastic.And yet Jonathan’s warning continued to echo in her mind.“Don’t open it.”Emily looked at him.“Why?”Jonathan’s eyes were heavy with exhaustion.“Because whoever killed your father believed that card was destroyed.”Alexander’s expression hardened.“How do you know?”“Thomas told me.”“When?”“The night before he died.”Emily’s breathing became shallow.“What did he tell you?”Jonathan looked at her.“He said the card contained enough evidence to destroy the people behind Project Orion.”Emily looked dow

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTBy Esty’sCHAPTER 13 – THE STRANGER’S CALLPart 7 – The Price of ProtectionThe paper trembled slightly in Emily’s hand.THE KINGSTON HEIR WILL DIE.She read the words again.Then again.Her stomach tightened.“Alexander…”“I’m here.”He took the paper from her.His expression remained calm, but Emily could see the tension in his jaw.“Who would write this?”“Someone who wants me afraid.”“Are you?”He looked at her.“No.”“You’re lying.”A faint smile touched his lips.“Maybe a little.”Emily looked toward the empty doorway where Sophia had disappeared.“Where did she go?”“I don’t know.”“She was standing right there.”“I know.”“Then how did she disappear?”Alexander glanced at the security cameras.“Someone disabled the system.”“Could Sophia have done it?”“Possibly.”Emily shook her head.“I don’t think she did.”He looked at her.“Why?”“Because she looked terrified.”Alexander didn’t answer.Emily continued.“She wasn’t pretending.”“You don’t kn

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTBy Esty’sCHAPTER 13 – THE STRANGER’S CALLPart 9 – The Bloodline SecretEmily stared at Jonathan.For several seconds, she couldn’t understand the words he had spoken.They seemed to hang in the air, impossible and cruel.Samuel Carter isn’t your uncle.He’s your father.Emily shook her head.“No.”Jonathan looked at her.“Emily…”“No.”She stepped backward.“My father was Thomas.”Jonathan’s face tightened.“Thomas raised you.”“That’s not what I said.”“Emily—”“My father was Thomas Carter.”Her voice broke.“I know who my father was.”Jonathan lowered his eyes.“You know who raised you.”Emily’s chest tightened.“What’s the difference?”Jonathan looked at her.“Everything.”⸻The Truth Emily Didn’t WantAlexander stepped between them.“Jonathan, choose your next words carefully.”Jonathan nodded.“I’ve kept this secret for twenty years.”“Then explain it.”Jonathan took a slow breath.“Thomas Carter wasn’t Emily’s biological father.”Emily covered he

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTBy Esty’sCHAPTER 13 – THE STRANGER’S CALLPart 10 – The Woman Behind the DoorThe door handle moved.Slowly.Silently.Emily’s heart pounded.Alexander stood directly in front of her.Sophia had moved backward until her shoulders touched the wall.Nobody spoke.The handle stopped.For one terrible second, everything was still.Then—BANG!The door flew open.Alexander grabbed Emily and pulled her aside.A man rushed into the room.He was dressed in black.His face was covered.He raised a weapon.Alexander struck his wrist.The weapon fell.The man attacked.They crashed against the desk.Emily screamed.“Sophia!”“I see him!”Sophia grabbed the fallen weapon and kicked it across the room.The attacker turned toward her.That moment was enough.Alexander drove him backward.The man slammed against the wall.But instead of fighting again, he smiled.Emily noticed the smile.It was familiar.Her stomach twisted.She had seen that smile before.Not recentl
