Heaven or Hell: Loving My Twisted Billionaire novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Hannah’s POV

The words stung, but I forced myself to remain calm. This wasn’t my Finn—not the man who had commissioned a pink cane to match my dress, not the man who had held me through the night as if I were something precious.

‘There’s something else we need to establish,” Victoria said, reaching into her designer handbag. She pulled out a leather portfolio and removed several documents. “Your identity. You are Finn Sterling, heir to the Sterling Group and fortune.”

Finn’s eyes narrowed as he took the papers, examining each one carefully. Birth certificate, identification documents, family records dating back five years to when he was ‘found and brought back to the family.

“These could be forged,” he said flatly.

Victoria’s lips thinned. “We anticipated your skepticism. We can perform a DNA test immediately to confirm your relation to the Sterling family.”

Finn nodded curtly, his eyes never leaving the documents. “Do it.”

A nurse was called in, samples were taken, and a few hours later, a rush analysis confirmed what Victoria had claimed–Finn’s DNA matched the Sterling family markers. As the doctor explained the results, I watched Finn’s face, seeing the conflict play across his features. Part of him seemed to accept the truth, while another part remained deeply suspicious,

So I’m Finn Sterling,” he said slowly, testing the name on his tongue. “And you claim to be my… wife?” His eyes fixed on me, cold and assessing.

My heart hammered in my chest as I reached into my purse again, withdrawing the marriage certificate I’d brought along. “Yes. We were married three days ago.”

Finn took the certificate, studying it intently. His brow furrowed as he examined the signatures at the bottom. Suddenly, he reached for the notepad on the bedside table and a pen. With quick, deliberate strokes, he wrote his name, then held it up next to the certificate.

This isn’t my signature,” he said, his voice deadly quiet.

The room went still. I turned to Victoria, confusion and betrayal washing over me. “What is he talking about?”

Victoria refused to meet my gaze, her attention fixed on a point somewhere beyond my shoulder. “We needed to ensure the legitimacy of the child,” she said softly. “You were unconscious when the papers needed to be signed. We had someone… assist with the formalities.”

You forged my signature? Finn’s voice had dropped to a dangerous whisper.

“It was necessary,” Victoria replied, unapologetic. “Family considerations take precedence.”

Finn’s laugh was bitter as he turned to me. “And you expect me to believe you didn’t know about this?”

‘I didn’t,” I said, my voice trembling slightly. “I swear, Finn, I thought everything was legitimate.”

His eyes held mine for a long moment, searching for deception. Whatever he saw there didn’t seem to convince him.

“Do you have pictures? Videos? Anything from this supposed wedding?” he demanded.

Chapter 39

My stomach twisted into knots. The ceremony was small and rushed because of your… condition. There wasn’t time for photographs.”

“So, let me get this straight, Finn said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “No valid marriage certificate. No photographs. No witnesses except the people in this room who clearly have their own agenda. He looked between Victoria and me. “How convenient.”

I stood there, speechless. Put like that, our marriage did sound like a fabrication. How could I explain that our relationship had been real, even if the ceremony had been manipulated?

Finn’s gaze dropped to my stomach, then back to my face, his expression unreadable. “And you claim you’re carrying my child?”

I nodded, trying to ignore the doubt in his voice.

“Are you sure it’s mine?” The question cut through the air like a blade.

“Yes,” I said firmly, fighting back tears. ‘I’ve never been with anyone else.”

Finn turned to Victoria. “This is obviously a scam. She’s trying to get her hands on Sterling money.”
