A Billionaire's Love Chapter 14
Devon’s POVI headed to my room with different thoughts running through my head, my head was already messed up. I ruffled my hair frustratedly as I sat at the edge of my head reminiscing about everything.I expected a different reaction from her but it seemed, I would never get what I wanted. I expect her to be in tears anytime I speak harshly to her but it was always a different reaction I get all the time. I want to feel the same way she made me feel that day, I have never felt so useless and stupid before. She made me feel like a fool in love and I want her to get in a hundredfold. I want more of her breakdown, tears, and apology, anything that would confirm my control over her. But she didn’t give it to me, rather she threw my own words back at me.I couldn't believe that pouring that food on her wouldn’t make her react in some type of way instead she was quiet while the food was dripping off her hair like a lost puppy. Her stubbornness was something else and she was beginning

Devon’s PovBut the person at the door wasn’t Lauren. It was Sofia, standing there with that ever-present calm on her face that made me want to either hug her or push her away. She has been my maid for years and somehow I don't see her as a maid but a friend because we talk like friends most of the time not always though.“Devon,” she murmured like someone who was with a burden in her heart, her voice soft as always. “What is going on? This is not you Devon, everything is just like a movie that doesn't have an ending.” She explained with a sad look that plastered on her faceI leaned against the door, crossing my arms. “Why do you care?”I snapped rolling my eyes at her and she sighed, stepping closer, her eyes were on mine. “Because this is getting worse, Devon. You and Karen… and now Lauren. It’s all becoming out of control.”She uttered, playing with her fingers trying as much as she could not to get on my nerves because she knows I get annoyed easily.“I don’t need your lecture, S

Karen’s PovI sat by the window, staring out space while playing with my hair, just enjoying the serenity that comes with being alone, but the events of the evening played over and over in my head like a movie scene that couldn't be wiped off. I just couldn't get my mind off what happened because it made me laugh so hard.I cackled as the memory of Lauren’s face, twisted with anger as she left the mansion, replayed in my head and I giggled.It wasn’t as funny as this when it happened, but right now the whole scene seemed surreal and unreal to me. I’d never stood up to anyone like that before, and it still felt strange and funny But I had enough of her bullshit because it was becoming too overboard.For the first time, I wasn’t the one hiding behind my shells and keeping calm like it didn't hurt and broke me into pieces.My thoughts drifted back to a few hours ago, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing loudly again, I haven't laughed like this for days but it seems everything is

Karen’s POVThe rays of the sunlight shone on my face and my eyes opened wearily with a blurry vision at first but after a few minutes, I regained my sight.I stood up from my bed abruptly feeling different, I hadn't felt like this for a long time but today felt different.I stood in front of my mirror, choosing the most exposing dress I owned. A tight, black mini-dress that clung to every curve in my body. I stared at the dress dramatically and giggled as it stopped at the top of my thighs. I paired it with high heels that added inches to my height, making my legs look long. My makeup was bold, with smoky eyes and red lips that screamed confidence and fearlessness.For once, I wasn’t trying to hide or tone it down. As I looked at my reflection, I felt a surge of pride. I looked damn good and hot. It wasn’t for Devon this time around or anyone else, It was just for me.*****It was already Evening when when I descended the stairs majestically, ready to head out. The house was quiet as

Devon’s POVImmediately she left, I was filled with anger, the kind that burned slowly before it erupted. My fists clenched at my sides, my knuckles became white with the effort to keep myself from lashing out. The nerve she had to walk out like that, dressed like a prostitute forgetting the fact that I am a public figure and is fucking married to me irrespective of our differences.I spun around, my eyes falling on Lauren. She was sitting back on the couch, a smirk playing at the corner of her lips.“She thinks she’s something now, huh?” Lauren muttered playing with her fingers as she talked. “Walking out like she’s not a whore.” She added hissing out loudly and I had enough of that.I clenched my jaw. “Shut up, Lauren,” I growled, my voice calm but dangerous.She raised an eyebrow, sitting up straighter. “What? Am I wrong? She looked ridiculous and stupid.” her like drew back in a snarl unbothered.I turned away, pacing to and fro, trying to get a grip on myself. I felt Lauren’s ey

Devon’s Pov Karen’s figure came into view as she walked down, towards the direction my car was without her realizing that I was watching her every move. She didn’t notice me until I was right beside her, my hand gripping her arm in a tight hold, stopping her in her tracks and that was when it dawned on her, She was now in the devil’s webs.She turned, startled, and when her eyes met mine, I could see the shocked look that was plastered on her face. She felt a sudden freeze of disbelief as the reality of what was happening sank in.“Let go of me, Devon,” she spat, trying to pull her arm free from mine but I tightened my grip, pulling her closer so she had no choice but to look up at me.“Get in the car, now!” I growled, the words coming out more like an order than a request which it was thought.She jerked her arm again, still trying to wrench herself free, her eyes flashing with anger. “I’m not going anywhere with you, Devon so let me be!” She screamed and that was when I had enough o

Karen’s PovDevon's phone rang and he whispered inaudible words in Laura’s ear which made her giggle and he stormed out of the room leaving me alone with a witch who was staring at me like she was gonna kill me any moment from now.In as much as I wasn't scared of her, a little bit of fear glinted in my eyes but I didn't show it in other not to boost her ego.Silence filled the room as Laura closed the door, her eyes on me sending shivers down my spine. I was bound to the chair and couldn't even move my body while feeling the raw ache of the ropes digging into my wrists and body, but I refused to show even a little hint of pain. I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction to mock me, The silence cut deep in the room, and then She stepped forward, her sly smile mixed with a grin that plastered on her face as she walked towards me.“You think you are brave, don't you?” Her lips drew back in a snarl and she crossed her arms as she talked.“Well, look at you now,” she sneered as continued talk

Karen’s PovMy eyes blinked open but it was a blurry vision so I struggled to open it properly but I finally opened it. When I opened my eyes properly, I felt the weight of pain hit me at every part of my body, aching even with the slightest movement. I blinked my eyes repeatedly, staring at my surroundings. The soft bed I was laying on, the dark lighting, and the familiar decor and they were when it dawned on me that I was in Devon’s room.I tried to sit up, ignoring the throbbing pains that were hitting me in my limbs, but the dizziness forced me back against the pillows. A sound coming from a particular direction in the room caught my attention, making me wonder who was in the room with me.And that was when I saw Devon. He had been there all this while and I couldn't even notice him not until I heard the sound.And there he was, sitting in a chair across the room, watching me silently like someone who was lost in his world, his expression cold and unreadable as usual.“You’re awa

Karen's Pov I sat in the quiet of my kitchen, the soft. My hands gripping the edge of the table, my fingers white-knuckling the surface. The message from Lauren had rattled me more than I’d like to admit. Every time I replayed it in my mind, the implications grew darker. "Drive safely, and don’t forget to buy Paris those crayons." The casual tone felt so harmless, but the context was anything but.I had tried to ignore it, push it to the back of my mind like I had with everything else from the past. But Lauren’s words kept nagging at me. It wasn’t just a simple message—it was a reminder that someone, somewhere, was watching me. Watching my kids. If Lauren knew about Paris needing crayons, then that meant someone had been keeping track of our movements, of our daily life.And if Lauren knew that, who else did?I stood up, pacing the kitchen as my thoughts spiraled. I had worked so hard to build a life for my kids, to protect them from all the mess that came with my past. But now, it
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 96
Karen’s POVThe past few days had been nothing short of chaotic. Devon hadn’t shown up to work since our argument, and while I told myself I didn’t care, the curiosity about his absence refused to leave me alone. Then, of course, Lauren had to crawl out of whatever hole she’d been hiding in to threaten me. Her words had been running around in my head ever since.I turned a corner, heading toward my office. The familiar sounds of the office surrounded me—phones ringing, muffled conversations and the occasional clack of a keyboard. It was a symphony I normally found comforting. Workers getting down to work for what they are here for. As I approached Devon’s office, I caught sight of the partially open door. Something pulled at me. I slowed my steps, my gaze drawn to the figure slumped at his desk.It was Devon.He didn’t notice me. His head rested on his desk and shoulders curved inward as if carrying the weight of the world. His usual appearance was in shambles—no tie and a rumpled s

Karen's POV“Lauren?” Her name rolled bitterly down my tongue A shiver down my spine. The years hadn’t dulled the impact of her presence on my life, nor the storm of emotions that hearing her voice again unleashed."Lauren?" I whispered, almost unable to believe it. It felt like a ghost calling me from the past, a specter that had been buried but was now rising to the surface.There was a soft, almost teasing laugh on the other end of the line."Did you miss me, Karen?" she purred, her voice as sharp and sarcastic as I remembered. "I thought you'd be happier to hear from an old friend."I swallowed hard, my pulse quickening. "What do you want, Lauren?"She was silent for a moment, but I could hear the faint sound of her shifting, perhaps moving in her seat, or simply savoring the effect her voice had on me. "Oh, nothing much," she said, dragging the words out slowly. "I was just curious. WonderingThe air felt thick with tension as Lauren's voice lingered in my ear, like a shadow I

Devon’s POVThe bar’s lights flicker above me, a dull, sterile glow that does nothing to soften the harshness of the night. My face still burns where the bruises are fresh, the swelling a constant reminder of the fight I’d tried to forget. I shouldn’t even be here. This place, these people, it all feels like a mask—something to hide behind when I can’t bear to face what I’ve done. What I’ve lost.I grip my glass, watching the amber liquid swirl, but I don’t drink. I’m not even sure why I came. Maybe to drown out the ache in my chest. Maybe to pretend I’m not thinking about her—about Karen.I wish I had just made things right. What the hell was I thinking, pushing her away? Pushing everyone away. All this time, I told myself I was doing the right thing, but look at where I am now. Alone. With nothing but the guilt weighing me down, eating me alive.I set the glass down and rub my hand across my face, my fingers grazing over the bruises that mark me like a map of every mistake I’ve ever

Karen's Pov “Let me see them.”he said, his words halting my steps.I froze, my heart skipping a beat. Slowly, I glanced over my shoulder, just enough to meet his gaze.“What?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.“Let me see them,” he repeated, his tone quieter now, almost pleading. “Let them at least know who their father is.”My heart clenched, but I kept my face cold, my expression unreadable.I wanted to respond, to tell him no again, but he continued before I could find the words.“And I promise, I’ll stay away after that. Just… just let me be a part of their life, even if it’s just a little piece.”His words caught me off guard, piercing through the layers of my resolve. My breath hitched, and I felt the familiar sting of tears threatening to escape. A single tear betrayed me, slipping down my cheek, but I quickly brushed it away and stiffened my posture, replacing my momentary weakness with a hardened demeanor.“No,” I said firmly, my voice sharp and unwavering. “You will
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 92
Karen’s POVThe day stretched on endlessly. The team had dispersed, Troy’s words of encouragement still ringing in their ears, but my mind remained clouded. Devon still hasn't shown up for three days now and his absence gnawed at me, an itch I couldn't scratch no matter how much I tried to drown it in work, spreadsheets and schedules.The office was quiet now, save for the hum of the heater battling the January chill. Paris and Austin were at their grandmother's for the weekend, leaving no distractions to pull me out of the spiral of my thoughts. I wanted to convince myself it was just another day, that Devon's "personal day" meant nothing. But the truth was, it did.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling. The weight of the past clung to me like a shroud. How could someone who had hurt me so deeply still have such a hold on my thoughts? I hated that he did.Picking up my phone, I scrolled through my contacts, my finger hovering over his name. I shouldn’t. I knew I shouldn’t
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 91
Devon’s POVThe beach had been an escape, or at least I thought it would be. The sound of the waves, the salty air—it all should’ve calmed me down. But the more I thought about Kareem's words, the more I felt the weight of them crushing me. He was right. I was falling apart. Every drink, every bad decision—it was all just adding to the mess that I’d created. What was I even doing with my life?The walk back to my apartment had felt longer than usual, and by the time I stepped into the Uber, I barely had the energy to breathe, let alone talk. My head ached from thinking too much. I reached into my pockets, pulling out the last of my spare change. It wasn’t much. Just enough to get me through tonight. The car pulled up in front of the bar, the familiar sight of it hitting me with a sense of dread. I didn’t even know why I came here anymore. It used to be a place where I could forget everything, but now it was just another reminder of how far I’d fallen. Still, I couldn’t help it. The t

Karen's POVThe hum of the projector filled the conference room as charts and graphs flickered to life on the screen. Around the table, Troy’s team sat poised with notebooks, laptops, and an air of readiness that spoke volumes about their dedication.I adjusted my blazer, scanning the room. The atmosphere was electric—full of possibility and momentum. This was the kind of environment where real change happened, and I felt a surge of excitement despite the weight of the morning’s events still lingering in my mind.Troy stood at the head of the table, his sleeves rolled up, revealing forearms marked with faint scars that told stories he rarely shared. His voice carried the room, confident and precise, as he outlined the agenda for the day.“Our goal is clear,” he began, his dark eyes sweeping across the table. “We need to increase market penetration in untapped regions while solidifying our dominance in existing territories. To do that, we’re focusing on three pillars: innovation, custo

Karen's Pov I hadn’t planned on confronting Devon. In fact, I’d done everything in my power to avoid moments like this. But now, standing just a few feet away from him on the crowded beach, there was no denying the twist of fate—or perhaps sheer coincidence—that had brought him here.“What are you doing here, Devon?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended.He glanced at me, his hands buried deep in the pockets of his faded jeans. His shirt was worn, the fabric fraying at the seams, and his shoes looked like they’d seen better days. It was jarring. This wasn’t the confident, polished man I’d once known.“Do I need a reason to be at the beach?” he replied with a half-smile, but his tone lacked its usual charm.I crossed my arms, feeling my chest tighten. “Maybe not. But you being here—now, of all times—doesn’t feel accidental.”His smile faded, replaced by something softer, almost vulnerable. “Maybe it’s not. Or maybe I just needed some fresh air and ended up in the same place as yo
