A Billionaire's Love Chapter 18
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

Laura’s POVI paced back and forth in the living room reminiscing about the scene I saw earlier and it was beginning to piss me off.I clenched my fists, anger swirling inside of me and I wasn’t even trying to quench it down. that The nerve of that slut lying there in Devon’s room, looking all vulnerable, as if she hadn’t done everything to ruin him, to ruin us.“Ruin us how?” my subconscious mind taunted me and I hissed ignoring that thought. Although she was in the picture for a long time he was meant for only and no matter how I try to split them, something always comes my way and I don't know why he can't just let her go.“Stupid little riffraff,” I muttered under my breath, gnashing my teeth together furiously. “Why didn’t she just die huh? I was so close, very close to finally getting rid of her but boom her savior came to ruin my plans. Haven't he done enough huh?” I screamed ruffling my hair frustratedly.All my work and careful planning, and in the end, Devon had to come swe

Devon’s POVI stood in silence reminiscing about what just happened a few minutes ago. I paced to and fro in the living room, running my hand through my hair. Every move I took, Laura’s words crept into my memory, and the fact that I couldn't say anything when she asked that question was another thing to worry about. She had pushed me further, and I had pushed back, but even now, her accusation lingered in my mind like it was something that couldn't be erased easily from my thoughts.“Do you still love her?” She’d spat those words like it was some sort of curse, the question made me vulnerable and I couldn't even form any answers from my mouth, it felt like my mouth was sealed and nothing could come out from it.A scoff escaped my lips, Love? No. Whatever I’d felt for Karen had withered long ago and there was no way it could germinate again. I am done with her and can't let her in my heart again, showing care is different from love and I don't even care about her either. Laura went

Devon’s Pov“You are also teaching me how to be wicked. Learn from You, so enjoy my kindness while it lasts.” She taunted with her words while laughing like a lunatic.Each word that came out of her mouth was like she was trying to challenge me, enjoying every second of it, and I could feel myself fighting back my anger that I planned not to show anymore.“Keep laughing, Karen, because the next time I bet you will be crying soon so enjoy this moment too because it won't last either.” I managed to speak up, folding my arms as she crackled after I finished talking.The fact that she acted like I wasn't talking to a human was irking me but I was doing a good job of calming myself because she is still healing, I am not ready to give her another punishment yet.I was about to storm out of the living room leaving this Mansion to enjoy her happy moments while they lasted but the sound of her laughter echoed behind me, a reminder that, somehow, she was trying to make me lose my grip. She chuc

Karen’s POVI couldn’t help but laugh more thinking about what happened a few minutes ago as I fell flatly on the couch once again. I felt satisfied talking back at him and making him believe that I ain’t the same person I used to be. For once I laughed like never before making him feel like the fool he is.Thankfully I eavesdropped on their conversation seeing how she talked to him and I couldn’t believe that I gave him some respect but Laura didn’t make me wonder if he is still the same ruthless mafia people know him as.I was still engrossed in my thoughts that I forgot I was watching a movie. Just then, Sofia entered the room making me jolt out of my thoughts, her brows lifted in surprise wondering why I was giggling and laughing at the same time. “Well, well, look who’s beaming and giggling at the same time. Did something good happen?” She gave a little grin, taking a seat beside me while placing her both hands on her cheeks waiting patiently for my answers.“Oh, Sofia, you wou

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
