The Billionaire’s secret Heir

Chapter.3

I wake up as early as 6 and myself and Liam ready. Putting his shirt on, “Are you excited,my love? We are going to work together today.” he looks at me still giggling.

I finish up everything that needs to be done and set off with Liam in his stroller. We get to the complex a few minutes before 8. Waiting in front of the elevator, some people were looking at Liam in his stroller.

“He’s so cute, what's his name?”, a woman asks. “It's Liam”, that's so adorable.

The elevator opens and we go in. I got to the restaurants floor and went straight to the restaurant.

“Oh, is that cute baby Liam in the stroller?”, Annabelle says with excitement as we walk up to her, she bends to look at Liam, “Hello there, how are you doing?”, Liam stretches his hand out trying to touch her face and keeps giggling, “ You're just a cute little boy aren't you?”. Selene comes from the back, “ Let's start making arrangements, there's not much time left”. “Yes ma'am”.

We start getting things ready and other colleagues who had different shifts also came around so it reduced some stress.

The main ceremony for the opening hasn't started yet, so I decided to go around the other buildings and see how things are going. I get to one of the complexes and see a lot of people waiting outside the elevator, and see a woman talking to a baby in a stroller.

Then I hear the voice of the lady holding the stroller. “It's Liam”, her voice sounds so familiar. Not knowing why I'm so curious, but I try to get a better look at her face, even with the crowd.

The elevator opens and some set of people start moving in, my eyes still fixated on the lady, she turns around and I happen to get a glimpse of her face.

It couldn't be,.. it couldn't possibly be her.

Still looking in her direction, the door closes. I try to move closer when a hand stops me, and I see a very unpleasant face.

“What's wrong? Where are you going?”. I released hand from hers, “And how is that your concern?”, I replied looking straight ahead. “Well it's none of my business, I know, but..”, James interrupted, “Hi Sabrina, I'm here too”, waving his hand, “ I thought I might as well say Hi even if you didn't notice”, I scoffed a little, “Anyways” she turns back to me, “I found out you are going to be in town so I thought I could come see you”.

“Is that the reason you've been calling me all weekend?”, still avoiding her gaze. “Well I came to say Hi and see how you're doing”, “Haven't you seen enough yet?”, now giving her a look that also changes her expression. “We shouldn't be doing this here, don't you think?”, talking through her teeth, almost whispering. “You're the one trying something, I'm not. And this is my building”.

I decide we would come back after the ceremony, I was already pissed of as is.

The ceremony begins and I watched over the railings on our floor. The new building is directly opposite ours, but much higher. It seems it has been built mainly for apartments.

The ceremony ended and just as expected we had the lunch rush. We started working immediately the ceremonies were over, and ended before 3 P.M. I had a seat after cleaning the tables feeling tired.

“That was a big one”, Annabelle says also sitting next to me. I look at the stroller sitting at the corner off the room, I was so busy that I didn't have a chance to check on Liam. I stood up and walked all the way to where it was.

Walking up to the stroller with only two steps left I stopped in my tracks. He wasn't there. “Annabelle, did you take Liam out”, walking up to me, “What do you mean? I didn't”, she also looks into the stroller, “He was just here”.

We go around the restaurant looking for him and also bump into Selene, “He's a 3yr old child, how did he get out?”.

“Well, this has actually happened before, but I had made sure to lock him in very tight”.

The stroller isn't that far from the ground, and the buckles seem to get loose once in a while. I had thought buying him a new one, but he could already walk on his own, getting a new one wouldn't help.

“Let's look around, we'll find him”. We go around looking for him but didn't see any traces of him. “Where could he be?”, now holding onto my chest tight with tears in my eyes.

“Don't worry Sophia, we'll find him. We won't be able to if you start acting like this”. I calm myself down and we keep looking.

The whole ceremony was over, so we went back to the complex to check things out. It was wide but luckily only had 7 floors. We got on the elevator and the image of the same woman kept flashing in my mind.

Could she actually be the one? James shoves me, “What do you keep thinking about? You've been this way since this morning”. “Nothing”. “Or has Sabrina got you thinking?” with an annoying grin on his face.

“Just shut up and give me the details”.

“Well, we start with the 7th floor first. It has stores for kids, and the 3rd floor will be the last since you already seen the second”. “Fine then, let's get this overwith. I'm leaving for the Hamptons tonight”. “Why are you in such a hurry? Don't want to stay a few days?”. I refuse to give him a reply. “Ok then”.

After taking a look at the stores and the other floors, we get on the elevator, going down to the 2nd floor.

“There's going to be match today, need to get home in time to see it”, James looking closely at his phone with excitement. “Aren't going to get married?”, I asked giving him a look, “And lose out on all of this freedom, now way”.

“What freedom are you talking about….”. The elevator door opens and reveals a woman on her knees with a child in her arms, crying. Now I know I hadn't been mistaken when I saw her, I had seen her clearly.

It's Sophia. But who's the child she's so loving, and why is she tears?
