All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE'S VENGEANCE: Pregnant With Twins: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The day dragged on in a monotonous torture for Audrey. She refused to touch the food trays the staff dutifully left by the door, convinced that accepting anything from Alessandro meant ceding a piece of her sovereignty. She spent hours pacing the room like a caged animal, her mind trapped in a loop concerning the twins. Were they okay? Had Jennifer called the police? Fear gnawed relentlessly at her insides.Alessandro returned to the mansion past eight in the evening. His mood was bleak; the day's meetings had felt like annoying chores while his thoughts continuously drifted back to his captive. Upon entering, the housekeeper greeted him with a worried frown."Sir, Mrs. Sullivan hasn't left her room all day. She hasn't touched a bite of food, not even water."Angered by what he deemed childish pride yet thrown off by her tenacity, Alessandro headed upstairs. He bypassed knocking, inputting the access code so the door slid open with an electronic beep sharp as a gunshot. He found Audre

The monotonous drone of the private jet engines filled the suffocating vacuum of the luxury cabin. Audrey glued herself to the window, watching clouds shred beneath metal wings like cotton scraps. In her lap, an unread business magazine served as a visual shield. Her phone remained a dead, black rectangle; the forced communication blackout was psychological torture. She imagined her voicemail jammed, Jennifer's notifications piling up frantically, and above all, the faces of her children. She had promised to return soon. She had lied without knowing it, and that guilt weighed heavier than the invisible chains Alessandro had forged around her.Forty-eight hours had passed since her life was hijacked by the man sitting opposite her, separated only by a walnut table and an abyss of rancor. Danger radiated off him like an electric current. Alessandro Di’ Giovanni hadn't just uncovered her hideout; he had dismantled her anonymity, her job, and her peace in the blink of an eye. He was alway

Audrey felt Alessandro’s metaphorical fingers close around her throat without a single touch. The possessiveness radiating from the Italian had mutated; it was no longer the grievance of a scorned man, but the internal roar of a predator that had just found its stolen treasure."No, little one," Alessandro replied, and though his words were addressed to Emma, his eyes never left Audrey's. "I am someone to whom your mother owes much more than an explanation."Silence returned, heavier and more suffocating than the mist beginning to roll down the hills. Audrey pressed her children's shoulders against her, feeling that the life she had built with such effort—brick by brick in that cabin—had just collapsed under the weight of Di’ Giovanni's presence. The war for control of those two lives had only just begun, and the rules had changed forever.Audrey could not hold his gaze any longer; the dark fire in Alessandro's eyes threatened to consume her right there. She lowered her gaze, feeling

The days in Inverness had vanished under a tense routine of visits Audrey couldn't forbid. Alessandro appeared with the punctuality of an executioner, claiming his space in the twins' lives with a presence that only grew more suffocating. Yet, the truce had expired. That morning, the Scottish sky had turned a leaden, threatening gray, forcing an early departure to the city before the fog sealed the mountain passes.From outside the car, Alessandro watched the children run out of the property. Matthew and Emma, possessing the childlike ability to normalize the extraordinary, no longer saw him as a threatening stranger, but as an imposing figure promising adventure. The Italian stepped out of the vehicle, his iron mask softening for a fraction of a second as he helped them inside."Is it true the new house has a garden with statues?" Emma asked, staring at him wide-eyed as she settled into the leather seat. "And a kitchen where they make hot chocolate anytime?""There's much more than t

Audrey sat on the edge of the immense bed, listening to the echo of the twins' laughter bouncing down the marble hallway. To them, this wasn't a custody transfer or a tactical surrender; it was an adventure inside a modern castle.Following a breakfast served with military precision by staff making barely a whisper, the children's eagerness became boundless. Renewed energy drove them to devour pancakes while staring endlessly at ceiling moldings and massive glass windows framing the garden. Seated at the head of the table behind a black coffee cup, Alessandro watched behind the mask of imperturbability Audrey so despised."Can we go out now?" Emma asked, bouncing in her chair. "Daddy said there's a maze!"Audrey felt a pang of bitterness hearing her use that word so naturally. She looked at Alessandro, hoping for a spark of triumph in his eyes, but found only dark, analytical depth. She had no desire to share a family stroll with the man who had ripped her from her sanctuary, but seei
