THE BILLIONAIRE STILL WANTS HER!
Chapter 105: How it all started...

Chapter 105: How it all started...

Alex’s gaze remained fixed through the floor-to-ceiling window, his expression unreadable as he exhaled a deep sigh.

A moment later, he raised his hand, a cigarette resting between his fingers.

Bringing it to his lips, he took a slow, deliberate drag, the ember glowing faintly in the dim light. As he exhaled, a thin stream of smoke curled into the air, vanishing like fleeting thoughts.

His mind was tangled in the complexity of the situation, unable to shake the sense of bewilderment that had settled deep within him.

The revelation that the child Angel had been carrying was, in fact, Tryson’s son had shaken him to his core.

It was an unexpected twist, one that gnawed at the edges of his logic, leaving him questioning everything.

True to his word, he had ensured that the entire ordeal unfolded in the fairest way possible—for everyone involved.

Yet, there was one crucial factor that would determine the outcome.

Whoever could manage to secure Angel’s signature on the necessary documents would gain complete control.

And if that happened, then everything—every last piece of it—would finally be his.

Angel was only twenty-three, still blissfully unaware of the truth about her biological father.

That ignorance worked in his favor.

She had no idea that she carried within her an inheritance so powerful, it could shake the very foundation of those who sought to control it.

As Alex stood there, lost in thought, memories resurfaced—memories of a past that shaped the very moment he now found himself in.

When Angel was just two years old, her father, Wang Liam—one of the most influential presidents and wealthiest men of his time—had perished in a tragic accident alongside his wife.

Their deaths had left behind a single survivor: their little daughter, the last remaining heir to a legacy far greater than she could ever imagine.

The entire Liam family had long believed that Angel had perished in the tragic accident.

With no trace of her body found, they had no reason to think otherwise.

But in reality, her disappearance had been nothing more than a carefully orchestrated move—one of his most cunning tactics to secure the power he had always coveted.

Alexander had once been nothing more than a mere driver, a man of simple standing within the Liam household.

Yet, he had woven himself deeply into the family’s inner circle, particularly growing close to Wang Liam, the head of the family.

For years, he had harbored a quiet, unshakable ambition—to one day possess the wealth and influence they held.

And then, fate handed him an opportunity wrapped in tragedy.

The day the Liam family’s car crashed, chaos and despair had consumed the household.

But amid the wreckage and confusion, Alexander had found the family’s most precious secret—their two-year-old daughter, Angel.

Seizing the moment, he rescued her from the disaster, ensuring that the world believed she had vanished with her parents.

At that time, his wife had been desperate for a child.

They had been married for five years, yet their arms remained empty, their home silent.

When Alexander brought Angel home, his wife welcomed her without hesitation, ready to raise her as their own.

But Alexander had bigger plans.

While he provided Angel with everything she needed, sheltering her under his care, he also took careful steps to secure his future.

He reached out to the Liam family’s lawyer, feeding him a carefully crafted story—how he had saved Angel from the clutches of the greedy extended family, ensuring her safety.

And the lawyer had believed him.

With legal backing and strategic manipulation, Alexander’s claim was legitimized.

Wealth and power, once mere fantasies, became his reality.

Everything he possessed—the luxurious life, the influence, the status—had been built upon Angel’s inheritance.

And she had no idea.

As Angel’s father and caretaker, Alexander had everything he possessed because of her inheritance.

But as the years passed and she grew older, a gnawing fear settled deep within him.

Sooner or later, she would discover the truth, and when that happened, the wealth he had built his life upon would slip through his fingers.

He couldn’t let that happen.

To secure his future, he needed a plan—one that involved Arthur and Tryson.

They would do the dirty work for him, ensuring Angel remained trapped in a situation where she had no choice but to comply.

His wife, the woman who had once stood by his side, had divorced him at the very moment he was about to claim the power he so desperately desired.

At first, he had seen it as a loss, but fate had given him another opportunity.

Arthur, ever willing and ruthless, had ensured she wouldn’t stand in his way.

Alexander could still remember the last time he laid eyes on his ex-wife.

She had been leaving a store, unaware that Arthur was watching her from behind the wheel of a car. Without hesitation, he accelerated. The vehicle roared forward, closing the distance in an instant.

The impact was brutal.

Alexander had expected her to die from the accident, but fate had other plans.

Against all odds, she survived.

He watched as Angel, desperate to save her mother, gathered every penny she could find, taking on massive loans she had no means of repaying.

That was the opening he had been waiting for.

With Angel drowning in debt, he knew there would come a moment when she would have no choice but to accept the deal that Tryson would present to her.

The trap was set, and all that remained was to watch it unfold.

Arthur, ever the executioner, finished the job at the hospital.

His ex-wife, weak and helpless, had just received a visit from Angel when Arthur stepped into the room.

The moment she saw him, her eyes widened with shock—perhaps she had finally pieced it all together. She knew. She knew that Arthur was the reason she was lying there, barely clinging to life.

But she never got the chance to act on that realization.

Before the nurses or doctors could intervene, Arthur struck.

One swift, calculated move.

He suffocated her, silencing her forever.

The hospital cameras captured the scene, but the footage was carefully altered—making it appear as though she had died a natural death.

And just like that, she was gone.

It was in the aftermath of her death that Tryson entered Angel’s life. The final piece of Alexander’s plan was now in place.
