Chapter 0908

Theodore took a sip of his drink, staring out the massive window of his Burj Khalifa penthouse. From there, the city looked tiny–just another sprawling landscape beneath his feet.

But despite the breathtaking view, his mind was elsewhere

His son.

The boy had inherited much of his genetics–tall and athletic, with a strong, defined jawline just like his own. His deep, expressive brown eyes were identical to his mother’s and his dark, thick, straight hair was also a gift from her. His skin was a warm, light brown. But the one thing that stood out the most?

His smile.

It was exactly like Fiona’s.

The photo Oscar Harris, his lawyer, had left him sat on the table nearby.

It unnerved him.

It didn’t bring him pride or comfort–it brought guilt.

[23 Years Ago]

Fiona had been just a girl–one who had fallen victim to human trafficking.

Theodore had met her during a mission–one of the first he had taken after being forced to work for Peter Palmer.

Back then, he hadn’t severed ties with the Levett family yet, but Peter was already making moves to invest in the

Middle East.

A business meeting had turned into a night of drinking at an exclusive club–one filled with alcohol and women.

Theodore had never been a fan of these kinds of environments, but that night, he stayed.

That was something he didn’t believe in.

But that night, she caught his attention.

She was younger than the rest.

The heavy makeup made her look older, but the way her eyes darted around, the delicate features of her face–he was sure she couldn’t have been more than twenty.

She sat in the corner, waiting for someone to choose her.

But despite her exotic beauty, she didn’t compare to the other women around her–women who flaunted their bodies with confidence, who had long perfected the art of seduction.

The men weren’t interested in her.
