Billionaire’s

Chapter 135

Sunday arrived, and the house was filled with the warm smell of freshly baked bread and the hum of quaet activity

Samantha bounced around the living room, her exciternent bubbling over 7s Liam coming soon, Mommy” she asked for what felt like the hundredth time, her eyes sparkling with joy.

“Yes, sweetheart,” Evelyn saul, smiling at her daughter’s enthusiasm. He’ll be here any minute

“And he will bring my doll, right?” She asked, and Evelyn laugher

“For your sake, I hope he remembers, Evelyn said, and Samantha grinned.

“Liam never forgets, Samantha said confidently and rushed to the window to peer out

She couldn’t wait to see Liam. He was one of her favorite people. He always brought her something small – sometimes a try, sometimes just a funny story- but his visits always made her happy no matter what

Maya noticed Samantha’s excitement as she carried a basket of laundry through the hallway Looks like someone is really looking forward to seeing Liam today, Maya trased softly

Samantha giggled and nodded, her little face glowing with happiness. T’m gonna show him my new dolls and tell him about my Daddy.”

Maya chuckled. I’m sure he’ll love that, dear.” She continued on her way, giving Samantha a wink before heading to the laundry room.

Just then, the sound of a car pulling up outside made Samantha jump up with a squeal. “He’s here” He’s here”

Evelyn wiped her hands on a towel and followed her daughter to the door. Before she could even reach it. Liam was alm stepping onto the porch, a friendly grin on his face. He held a small bag in his hand, clearly for Samantha

“Liam!” Samantha yelled as she flung open the door and jumped into his arms.

“Hey, Sammy!” Liam laughed, lifting her up easily. “I missed you. How’s my favorite girl?”

“I’m great!” Samantha beamed, squeezing him tight. “Did you bring my doll??

Liam chuckled and held up the little bag. “You bet. Here,” he said, handing it to her.

“Thank you, Liam!” Samantha said, her eyes wide with excitement. She wiggled out of his arms and ran back into the house to check out her new doll.

Liam stepped inside, greeting Evelyn with a warm smile. “Hey, you.”

“Hey, yourself, she replied, a soft smile playing on her lips. “Come in. We’re just getting everything ready for lunch.”

As Liam stepped into the house, Maya appeared with a welcoming smile. “It’s Good to see you again, Liam,” she said

“Good to see you too, Maya. How’s everything? Liam asked, his tone easy and friendly

Maya smiled softly. “Busy, but good. Samantha’s keeping me on my toes as usual

Liam grinned and gave a mock sigh. “Sounds like her.”

“Come over to the kitchen. Liam. I’m still busy in here, Evelyn said, and Liam went in with her to the kitchen

Liam watched as she chopped vegetables on the kitchen counter. “Need any help with lunch?

Evelyn glanced over her shoulder, shaking her head. “Nah, I’ve got it under control. You can just keep me company and tell me how you’ve been.”

Lai nodded and leaned casitally against the counter, watching as she moved around the kitchen with ease. It felt comfortable and natural to be there with her.

Chapter 185

“Well, I’ve missed you and Sammy. My life has been all about work, as usual. Nothing fun,” Liam said, and Evelyn raised a brow

“So, what conference brought you to Ludus?” She asked curiously.

“Just work.” Liam said, not wanting to tell her yet that he was considering moving to Ludus.

“So, what about you? How has everything, been since we last talked?” Liam asked, folding his arms across his chest. “Settling okay?”

Evelyn paused for a moment, her smile faltering just a bit. “Yeah, everything’s been perfect for the most part.” She hesitated, then added, “But I had a little problem at work.”

Liam raised an eyebrow. “What kind of problem?”

“I don’t work with Empowered anymore,” Evelyn admitted, her voice calm but carrying a hint of something more profound.

Liam frowned in concern. “What happened? I thought you loved it there.”

Evelyn shrugged, continuing to chop the vegetables. “It just didn’t work out. There were some.. complications. But it’s fine. I’m moving on.”

“Well, as long as you’re okay,” Liam said, watching her closely. “If you ever need anything, you know I’m here, right?”

Evelyn smiled at him, grateful for his steady support. “I know. Thanks, Liam. I really appreciate it.”

Before their conversation could go any further, the doorbell rang.

“Are you expecting someone else?” Liam asked curiously.

“That must be the delivery,” Evelyn said, glancing at the clock. “I ordered a few things for dessert.”

Liam pushed himself off the counter. “I’ll get it. You’re busy, and Maya’s still working on the laundry.”

“Thanks,” Evelyn said with a smile.

Michael stood at the door, his thoughts swirling with questions. He couldn’t shake the idea of Evelyn’s little girl possibly being his daughter. But could it really be true? He needed to know.

His stomach was tight with anticipation as he waited for her to get the door, but when the door opened, it wasn’t Evelyn who answered.

Instead, a tall man with dark hair stood in the doorway, looking at Michael with curiosity.

“Are you the delivery guy? Liam asked, looking Michael over and wondering why he wasn’t carrying any package.

Michael’s brow furrowed. “Who are you?” he asked, not wanting to believe that Evelyn had another man in her life. But seeing how he answered the door and how at home he looked, Michael couldn’t help but think he was Evelyn’s man.

Liam cocked a brow. “I take it you’re not the delivery guy then.”

Before Michael could answer, Evelyn appeared behind Liam, her eyes narrowing when she saw who it was. “What do you want here, Michael?” she asked coldly.

Michael’s gaze shifted from Liam to Evelyn, “Who is he?” Michael asked, and Evelyn resisted the urge to laugh.

“Like you have a right to ask me that nonsense. Liam, let’s go in,” Evelyn said while Liam looked at Michael, wondering who he

was.

“I need to talk to you, Evie. Let me come in,” he said, stopping Evelyn before she could shut the door.

Evelyn scoffed. “Someone like you isn’t welcome in my home. If you have something to say, you can say it right here.”

Michael clenched his jaw. “Fine. Who’s this guy?” He nodded toward Liam, who was watching their exchange with mild curiosity.

Chapter 134

“That’s none of your business, Evelyn replied sharply. “What do you want here. Michael?”

“First, I want to know what happened between you and Sandra at the club and why you took pictures of us,” he said, wanting to start with that since he was curious about that.

Evelyn’s lips curled into a smile, but it wasn’t a kind one. “Why are you asking me that? Weren’t you both in on the plan together? You both tried to drug me and take pictures of us together, didn’t you?”

Michael frowned, “Why would I want to do something like that?”

“Beats me. I’ve been wondering the same thing. Unless you’re telling me you’re not aware that Sandra tried to drug me and take me to your hotel suite. I took those pictures because I needed something to protect myself,” Evelyn said, and Michael blinked, confused.

“What are you talking about?”

Evelyn crossed her arms, her eyes glinting. In simple terms, I switched Sandra’s drink. She tried to drug me. From the way you were passed out, I’m guessing her plan was to set me up with you in bed and take pictures. But I turned the tables on her.

Michael’s mouth fell open, and for a moment, he couldn’t find the words. “Sandra tried to drug you?” He could hardly believe what he was hearing.

Was that the reason she had drugged him? She had been planning to set him up with Evelyn? Why?

“Yes”

Evelyn said, her voice flat. “Now, if that’s all you came for, I think it’s time for you to leave.”

“No. That’s not all. I have another question,” he said, but he heard a soft giggle from inside the house before he could ask.

Michael’s head snapped toward the sound. “Who’s that? Is that.. a kid?”

Evelyn’s face hardened. “That’s none of your concern, Michael.”

Michael’s mind raced. He needed to know the truth. Without thinking, he pushed past Liam and barged into the house.

“Michael, stop!” Evelyn shouted, but he wasn’t listening

Samantha sat on the floor in the living room, playing with a doll. When she looked up and saw Michael, her big blue eyes blinked in surprise.

Michael froze. This was Evelyn’s daughter. Was it possible she was his?

Evelyn stormed over, her face red with anger. “I want you to leave now.”

Sensing the tension in the room, Samantha quickly rose and ran to hide behind Evelyn.

Before Michael could respond, Liam stepped in front of him. “You heard her. It’s time for you to go.”

Michael’s mind was spinning. He looked from Samantha to Liam and back to Evelyn, anger flaring up inside him.

“Is she mine?” Michael asked, looking at Evelyn.

“I have nothing that belongs to you, and you, of all people, should know that there’s no possibility of me having your child, so get lost!” Evelyn snapped.

Hearing this, Michael’s face reddened, “So, this is the guy, huh? He is her father, isn’t he? I can’t believe you, Evelyn. You’ve been acting like you’re so innocent, but you’re nothing but a

Liam didn’t wait for Michael to finish. He shoved Michael out the door forcefully, and Michael stumbled back, his head still reeling from everything he had just seen.

“The next time you show your face around here, I’m going to call the police,” Evelyn promised before slamming the door in

his face.
