Bumping into her ex-boyfriend in the city she fled five years before, model Gwen realizes that she can no longer run from her past. Admitting to billionaire CEO Finn Lane that the child with her is his son, Gwen will do whatever she can to protect her child...and her heart. As Finn fights to discover why Gwen left, breaking his heart, the billionaire will realize that real dangers seek to destroy their love story once again. *** She felt her skin burn with the electricity that came from his touch. How was that even possible? They had been separated for years, yet she could still feel all the excitement he provoked in her body. And she could tell that he felt the same way. The way his eyes checked her every move, the way she could feel like he was seeing through her soul with those green emeralds. The Billionaire's Missing Heir is created by Rafaella Dutra, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 1 : Back Again

Getting on a plane was something that always scared the sh*t out of Gwen, but due to her career, she always had to be in one.

Though she wasn't on a work trip now, getting to her destination made her happy. The journey was over...or maybe just beginning.

It was the first time in five years that she would put her feet back in City X. She had never thought she'd be back, especially with her four year old son at her side.

Cody was the most precious and handsome little boy, although his features resembled his father a little too much, breaking Gwen's heart whenever he looked at her. His green eyes and blond hair brought matched those of the man who she had tried so hard to forget.

Shaking her head to shove away those thoughts, Gwen grabbed Cody by his hand and got inside a cab.

"The X Town Mall, please," she uttered to the driver, as she fastened Cody's seat belt.

"Are we not going to Aunt Steph's house anymore, mommy?" Cody asked, looking out the window, enchanted.

It was his first time in his mother's hometown, really his first time away from home, and he was delighted by everything around him.

"Yes, we are, baby. We're just going to pass by the mall to buy a few things and eat something, okay? We need to wait for Aunt Steph to get out of work anyway."

Leaning her head on the other window, every street seemed to remind Gwen of her past. She thought she was ready to come back, but suddenly her confidence wasn't so high.

Why was she thinking so much of him lately? She thought she had come to terms with the horrible things that had happened. It shouldn't be such a big deal to her anymore.

When Stephanie asked her to pay a visit, Gwen thought it would be nice to finally come back and see her best friend. It had been a long time since they saw each other.

Though the city was teeming with memories, it had felt like the right time to show Cody where she had been born and lived most of her life.

She even considered the idea of moving back to the city with him to start a new life there.

"Mommy, look!" Cody said excitedly by her side. "It's so beautiful and big."

His little finger was pointing at an enormous building made of glass.

Her heart almost dropped.

They were passing by the company of the man who hadn't left her mind for the past five years.

She didn't even know what to say to her son, so she simply murmured something incomprehensible.

A few minutes later, the cab stopped in front of the mall and they left. Gwen grabbed the suitcase with one hand and Cody's hand with the other. Walking around, looking at the windows and still trying to get her sh*t together, Gwen suddenly regretted going to such an open space.

She felt as though she were being watched, which was absurd. How, or better yet, why would someone watch her?

Nobody even knew she was back in town.

"That's ridiculous!" she said to herself.

"What is ridiculous, mommy?" Cody asked by her side, with his eyes still glowing with excitement.

"Nothing, baby. Come on, let's find something yummy to eat. I'm starving." And she pulled his little hand towards the food court.

Finn was seated at his desk, looking out the big windows behind him and contemplating how his life had become so empty.

Ever since the woman of his dreams vanished from the Earth, he lost his interest in everything.

He was in his early thirties, but all he did was party and drink most of the time and sink himself in work.

To this day, he couldn't imagine what made her leave the way she did. They seemed to be so happy; he had never been in a better relationship.

They weren't together for a long time, but he knew deep down that she was the one. He couldn't possibly love someone else the way he loved her.

But then she was nowhere to be found. For a while, he used everything in his power to look for her. He wasted money, time and a lot of his men to search for her in the country and abroad. But it was all in vain.

It was like she never existed. All he had were her memories and some pictures of them to fill the hole she left in his heart, and his life.

He also developed another bad habit after she left. As he searched his desk for his lighter, he remembered how proud she had been of him when he quit smoking. But when she was gone, he was angry and wanted to feel like he was hurting her somehow. At least in his mind, so he wouldn't have to suffer alone.

Lighting his cigarette while watching the cars below him, Finn closed his eyes trying to enjoy the feeling of peace that it gave him.

He heard the click of the door behind him, but didn't bother to look.

"Mr. Lane?" his assistant's voice invaded his thoughts like a sharp knife.

"Hm?" he muttered, not wanting to move.

He was feeling exhausted lately, since a billion dollar contract was on the table and the negotiations were consuming all the energy he had left.

"I have some news. I think you'll like to hear it," his assistant Melanie said, and he could almost hear her voice shaking with nervousness.

Even after years working for him, she knew he didn't like to be bothered, and he had to admit that his temper wasn't something easily dealt with.

She deserved a raise actually.

"Yes, Melanie. Just spit it out. What is it this time?"

"One of our guys called. He said she was found. She is here in the city."

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
