All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE'S VENGEANCE: Pregnant With Twins: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The dawn light filtered through the heavy curtains of Alessandro's bedroom, bringing with it a hangover that wasn't physical, but emotional. He sat on the edge of the bed, burying his face in his hands as the fragments of the previous night assembled in his mind like broken glass. He remembered the taste of whiskey, the chill of the hallway, and above all, the scorching heat of Audrey's lips against his.Alessandro felt restless—a sensation he despised because it implied a loss of control. His pride, that granite monument he had built over the years, was wavering. It was unprecedented. This plan was supposed to be surgical: find the woman who fled the suite five years ago, force her to marry him, and use her as the ultimate weapon to give Eliot Sullivan a taste of his own medicine. Audrey was supposed to be the instrument of his vengeance, the trophy reminding his enemy that he had lost everything.Yet destiny had mocked him. Living with her, watching her care for the children and fac

The architectural design department at Di Giovanni & Co. was a sanctuary of glass and steel. Unlike the upper floors where silence was sepulchral, here the hum of graphic plotters and incessant typing filled the air. Audrey occupied her cubicle in the interior design and lightweight structures area. There were only four people on her team, and to her relief, her colleagues had been exceptionally kind.She was immersed in the blueprints for the new city hotel project—a mixed-use tower requiring seamless integration between a glass facade and a reinforced steel skeleton. Her fingers flew across the high-precision mouse, adjusting load angles in the modeling software. It was a side of her few knew: the meticulous architect who could spend hours debating material strength or thermal glazing efficiency. She enjoyed the challenge of transforming abstract lines into habitable spaces."The cleanliness of your section cuts is impressive, Audrey," Leo, a senior architect, commented, leaning in

The workday for Audrey unfolded amidst a tide of technical blueprints and material specifications. As a junior assistant, her desk was buried beneath marble samples, fixture catalogs, and spreadsheets requiring millimeter precision. She forced herself to immerse in the work, grateful that the complexity of the hotel's installations kept her mind occupied and far from the emotional storm that had erupted in Alessandro's office just hours earlier. Every time she recalled the look in his eyes behind his glasses, she felt a shiver that she couldn't tell if it was anger or a breathless expectation she refused to admit.At lunchtime, Audrey tried to slip away. Her plan was simple: a quick sandwich in a secluded corner to maintain the low profile she so desperately craved. However, her colleagues intercepted her before she could cross the department door."Don't even think about it, Audrey!" Sofia exclaimed, linking her arm through hers. "It's Friday, and the first Friday of a new hire is al

"Forgive me," she heard him say. His voice was a low, hoarse whisper, charged with an unexpected sincerity.Audrey looked at him, her shoulders tightening."Why are you apologizing?""I know I've failed," he continued, taking a nearly imperceptible step toward her. "I know the empty dinners and mornings without me have accumulated a debt I don't know if I can repay. I'm scared, Audrey. I'm terrified to see how they look at me, to see they expect something from me and feel I might disappoint them at any moment. I don't know how to be a good father; I never had a model to follow."Audrey lowered her guard. The mention of Alessandro's past, his loneliness, and the deprivations he suffered due to Eliot's ambition struck her with the force of an absolute truth. She had been the one to hide the children for five years; she had been the one who, out of fear, robbed him of the chance to learn alongside them."I'm trying," Alessandro said, looking directly at her now, forcing her to meet his b

Arriving at the mansion, the night's silence seemed to amplify the runaway heartbeat still hammering against Audrey's chest. Alessandro turned off the engine but didn't move immediately; he stared at the steering wheel for a second, processing the electric shock of the stoplight kiss. Without a word, he stepped out of the car and circled the bodywork to open the back door.Audrey stepped out too, feeling her legs wobble slightly upon touching the ground. She watched, subdued, as Alessandro bent to pick up the twins. With an ease betraying his physical strength, he settled Emma on one shoulder and Matthew on the other. Seeing him like that, carrying the weight of his two worlds as he climbed the marble stairs without the slightest effort, wrung an involuntary sigh from Audrey. There was undeniably something sexy and disturbing in that display of protective masculinity; the ruthless architect vanished to make way for a man seemingly born to hold his family.Once in the children's room,
