A Billionaire's Love Chapter 55
Karen's POVThe chill of the night air wrapped around me as I stepped out of the banquet hall, the weight of humiliation and betrayal were suffocating.The murmuring from the crowd of high standing men and women still echoed in my ears, just when I thought I could make a reasonable change in my life, all of it came crashing down in just one night.The heel I wore clicked against the pavement, making my steps uneven and my body staggering. I bent down and took off my heels.Hot tears ran down my cheeks as I walked away from Devon, and this time, his words didn't hurt me or leave a dent in my skin. His words were something that were long overdue. Even though I couldn't see him, I could still feel his piercing gaze burrowing into my back but they were all too harmless now. My heart shredded at the thought of Liam's words, everything he'd said to me had truly meant nothing, they were just lies, the sparkle, glimmer and even the hint of hope in his eyes had all just been a lie. Liam had

Devon's PovI can't remember the last time I walked into a night bar, I'd long closed that door and I didn't think I was ever going to open it back up, but here I was again, sitting at the bar like the man I swore I'd never become again“Another shot.” I yelled even though the bartender was just few inches away from me My words slurred just enough to betray how much I’d already had. He gave me a wary glance before pouring another round of tequila into the small glass in front of me.“You sure about this, man?” John, the bartender and also the only person I knew at the bar, asked.“Just pour it,” I growled, grabbing the glass and downing it in one swift motion before he could argue. The liquid burned its way down my throat, but it didn’t numb the ache in my chest like I’d hoped.The ache wasn’t new. It had been there for weeks, maybe months since Karen left. A feeling of emptiness I couldn’t shake but still always tried to deny but no matter how hard I tried to I could always still s

Karen's PovThe beeping sound wakes me up from my sleep, a throbbing headache following, I open my eyes revealing a white wall above me with machines connected directly into my body. Wasn't I just in the car so where was I now? An aching headache swamp my thoughts as I remember the scene from before. An accident, I stumbled into an accident and was now present in the hospital. “She's awake.” I hear a voice from the room, a nurse immediately running into the room. With my eyes wider now I scan the entire hospital, how did I get here ? Who brought me here? Piles of questions kept swapping my mind. The cab driver, the road, lights and…Devon. It all came crashing in, Devon and Liam.He can't see me like this, it'd only make his pride grow, giving him more reasons to talk about me. Wincing in pain, I managed to sit up from the hospital bed, disconnecting the drugs going directly into my body. I had to get out of here,the doctors would soon start asking questions I didn't have any an

Karen's Pov.“You're pregnant? For how long Karen? Why didn't you tell me?” Devon asked, his face twisting in a mixture of both anger and confusion. The doctor and nurse had already cleared out leaving me and my beloved husband to bond over the baby and all he could do was shout.I'd already had enough of his nonsense and wasn't about to put up with it again.I laughed dryly. “Can you hear yourself Devon? I had an accident and just figured I am pregnant and this is all you have to say?” His eyes soften a bit, a look I'd never seen on him before. “You didn't know?” “Of course I didn't, I'm also as surprised as you.” He shook his head slightly, taking a step closer to me before seating on the chair opposite my bed.His hand rested at the bridge of his head and then he bent down. “I don't know what I've done Karen.” He said lowly, his voice barely above a whisper. “I just couldn't take it anymore, starting from Stephan and now Liam, I just couldn't.” My eyes widened. Was he feeling

Devon’s POVThe hospital door shut closed and age was gone, gone for good and there was nothing I could do. “Damn it!” A loud cry left my mouth before I collapsed on the empty bed. “I'm sorry Karen. I really am.” My voice echoed through the room but that was it, completely emptiness filled not just the space but even my heart. I ran my hands through my disheveled hair, tugging and pulling at it until my knuckles turned a shade of pale white. She'd left. Gone for good and I wanted to chase after her and plead for her to stay but I just couldn't. The way she begged had said it all, she wanted to go as far away from me as possible and that was the only way I could finally make her free ....make her happy. The door creaked open and my head jolted up hoping to see her but my brain already told me otherwise.It was the nurse from earlier, she had attended to me during the time I was waiting for Karen to wake up.She had an injection in her hand and paused midway, her eyes scanned the r

Devon's Pov.The meeting was over in seconds and not because the deal had been sealed or because of any sheer luck but because I completely messed things up.I was in the room but my thoughts were elsewhere. They didn't look the least bit interested when I walked into the room. Heck, I wasn't even in my right state of mind and considering what happened at the Masquerade banquet, I doubted they'd want anything to do with Grey Tech.The meeting with Seashores was another one scheduled after I'd finished with the European division, the plan was only to seal a deal with the Europeans earlier but after the whole scandal they only saw me as a shadow of my former self..Splashing the handful of water on my face, I looked at the bathroom mirror and my devastated reflection stared back at me. The Seashore meeting was just five minutes away and I looked like complete trash, something that was completely disregarded after being spit out.Taking my towel out from itshook I wiped the last droplets

Devon's povMy car pulled up in front of the house, and I stepped out before the engine fully died down. There was still a lot to be door but with each passing second I felt like the ground should have just consumed me. My eyes narrowed at the sight of a man lingering near the edge of the driveway caught my attention. He was tall, dressed in a worn-out suit that seemed to struggle against the December wind. “Can I help you?” I called out, my voice sharp as I approached. The man immediately turned, his face slipping into a practiced professionalism expression.“Mr. Grey, I presume?” “Yeah. Who’s asking?” i responded back almost immediately. “Alan Greaves,” he said, holding up a clipboard. “I’m here on behalf of Mr. Liam Falcon.” My jaw clenched, Liam. Of course, it would be him. Who else. The man didn’t just want to win—he wanted to completely strip everything that was in my name. I kept my face blank, though my fists clenched at my sides. “Whoever sent you has no business

Devon's pov. “I'm sorry sir but I don't think I can work here anymore,” Philip, a member of the tech team said. He stood at the front of them, a group of people who had once trembled under my gaze. Some kept their expressions neutral, while others couldn’t hide the way their hands shook or the way they avoided looking me in the eye. Still, they were here, together, facing me like they never had before. My jaw tightened as I met Philip’s gaze. “What are you saying, Philip?”“We…” He paused, exchanging glances with the others before continuing. “We’ve all decided to leave. With everything happening, we’re not sure if you’ll be able to pay us anymore. And… there are no more investors willing to back the company.”My fists clenched at my sides. I stayed silent for a minute thinking of the right words to say. They were wrong, I didn't know how I was going to pay them off and even the ones I had in my account had been mostly invested in the resources during the partnership with Lex Oper

EpilogueSix Months LaterThe shopping mall bussied around Karen as she wove through the aisles, her heart hammering in frustration."Austin!" she called, glancing around the shelves filled with colorful toys.No answer."Paris?" she tried again.She spun around, her eyes scanning the store, but the two little troublemakers were nowhere to be found. A pang of panic crept up her spine. Jordie, who had been helping her keep an eye on them, jogged up, her face mirroring Karen’s concern."I swear, I just saw them two minutes ago," Jordie said, glancing around.Karen let out an exasperated sigh, running a hand through her hair. "They're fast. Too fast."She pushed past the rows of toys, checking behind shelves and peeking into play areas, but the kids were gone. Her heart pounded harder.Then, suddenly—"You might want to be careful with these two."A deep voice—steady, familiar.Karen turned sharply, and her breath caught in her throat.A man stood a few feet away, holding both Austin and

Karen’s POVThe door burst open with a thunderous bang, the sound echoing through the cold night air. My breath hitched as a swarm of armed officers stormed in, their guns raised in precision, their movements swift and practiced.“Hands in the air! Nobody move!” a commanding voice barked.The room shifted instantly. The arrogant smirks on Liam and Troy’s faces faded, replaced by something I had never seen before—fear.“What the hell is going on?” Liam hissed, his eyes darting toward the doorway.And then she walked in.Lauren.Clad in a sleek black jacket, her presence radiated confidence. She stepped forward, unbothered by the chaos around her, her gaze sharp and unyielding."You forgot about me," she said, her voice dripping with amusement.Troy’s jaw clenched, his eyes narrowing. "Lauren," he spat. "I should’ve known you’d stick your nose in where it doesn’t belong."She smirked, stepping closer, her gaze sweeping over the room before landing on me. There was something in her eyes—
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 119
Karen's POV I forced my eyes open, but my mind felt sluggish, struggling to catch up with my surroundings. A dull ache pulsed at the base of my skull, and my body felt impossibly heavy, as if every limb had been weighed down. The sharp sting of cold air sent a shiver down my spine, and a strange, salty scent filled my lungs. This wasn’t the alley. I blinked rapidly, my vision adjusting to the dim light. Instead of damp concrete and graffiti-stained walls, I saw open space. The ground beneath me was rough and uneven, dirt and gravel scraping against my skin as I tried to move. A cold breeze brushed against my skin, sending a shiver through my body. My limbs felt heavy, but I forced myself to move, shaking off the haze.Where had I been?The last thing I remembered was the alley—Devon tied to the chair, Troy’s grip on my arm, Liam’s smirk—then, darkness.As my vision slowly sharpened, I realized we weren’t there anymore. The damp, suffocating alleyway had been replaced with an op

Karen’s POV“Alright, they’ll be back this afternoon.” Jordie’s voice came through the phone, warm and reassuring.In the background, I could hear the kids giggling and playing. My heart ached with how much I missed them.“Let them stop over at the ice cream shop, okay? There’s no rush,” I said with a small smile.The response was immediate—excited squeals and the sound of tiny feet shuffling around.“Mommy!” Austin’s voice piped up next. “Luna and Lucas told us stories!”I chuckled. “Oh? What kind of stories?”“About a pirate and a lost treasure!” he said excitedly. “But Lucas says the treasure was actually a puppy!”“That sounds like a fun story,” I mused. “Did you like it?”“Yes! But Aiden said the pirate should’ve had a pet parrot instead.”Aiden’s voice came in the background. “Because pirates always have parrots, Mommy!”I laughed softly. “Well, I can’t argue with that.”“Can we tell you the story when we get home?” Austin asked hopefully.“Of course, sweetie.” I smiled, my hear

Devon’s POVThis was it.The final move.If I wanted to fix the mess I had created, if I wanted any chance of making things right—not for myself, but for Karen—this was what I had to do. Even if it was the last thing I ever did.Stepping out of the cab, I adjusted my coat and walked toward the elevator. The security at the front barely acknowledged me; Liam had always been arrogant enough to think no one would dare come after him.The elevator ride up was suffocating each passing second amplifying the weight pressing down on my chest.As soon as the doors slid open, I stepped into the hallway leading to Liam’s office. The air carried a faint scent of cigars and leather, a familiar stench that brought back too many memories I’d rather forget.I pushed open the doors without knocking.Liam was seated behind his oversized desk, a whiskey glass in one hand, his other hand lazily flipping through documents. The moment he saw me, his lips curved into an amused smirk, his dark eyes glinting
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 116
Devon’s POVThe night was thick with silence, the kind that settled deep into the bones and made a man question everything. The cold metal bars in front of me felt heavier than they should, the dim flickering light above casting elongated shadows across the small, suffocating cell.I leaned back against the wall, running a hand through my hair as my mind spiraled into the past—into the mess that had landed me here.Karen.Her name echoed in my head like a ghost refusing to be forgotten. I remembered the accusations, the way they had thrown my name into the fire, claiming I had been the one threatening her and the kids. The sheer disbelief in her eyes had stung more than I cared to admit.Had it really come to this?A sharp rattling sound jolted me out of my thoughts.I straightened, my instincts kicking in as I turned toward the cell door. The metal groaned, the lock shifting before it swung open.Troy stood there, his face impassive but his eyes burning with something close to contem
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 115
Karen’s POVMy breath caught in my throat as I stared at Lauren. The weight of her betrayal hit me like a punch to the gut. I had suspected, but now the reality of her involvement was undeniable."You've been sending me messages," I said, my voice trembling with a mixture of rage and disbelief. "Threatening me, threatening my kids. What the heck do you want? And then you go ahead and kill somebody. You're a psychopath." The words spilled out, the anger rising in me with each passing second.Her lips curled into an almost sinister smile. She didn’t even flinch at the accusation. Instead, she laughed—a soft, mocking sound that made my skin crawl."I hate you Karen,” she said. "And yes, I’ve been sending some messages. But it was only to check up on you. Nothing much. Just checking how things were going." Her voice dripped with sarcasm, as if everything she had done was just some petty game.I could feel my blood boiling. "You killed somebody," I snapped. "How can you sit there and act
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 114
Karen’s POVI sat in the small office at the station, my fingers curled into my lap as I tried to steady my breathing. The tension in the room was suffocating, thick with the weight of everything that had just happened. Troy stood in front of me, his arms crossed, his gaze hard and unyielding.“They have leads, Karen,” he said, his voice firm. “And all of them point to Devon.”I shook my head, my stomach twisting uncomfortably. “That’s impossible,” I whispered. “Devon wouldn’t do this. He—”Troy cut me off, stepping closer and placing a file down on the desk in front of me. “We just got this,” he said. “And I need you to face it.”Slowly, I reached forward, my hands trembling as I flipped the folder open. My breath caught in my throat.It was the same photo. A blurry image of a man, caught in the act of what looked like a secret exchange. The shadows obscured his features, but the shape, the stance—It was Devon?I felt like the air had been sucked out of my lungs.“No,” I murmured, m
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 113
Devon's pov.The next day, I walked into Karen’s office, my mind still reeling from the night before. The memory of her lips, her body pressing against mine, and the raw emotions we had shared clung to me like a second skin. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, couldn’t stop feeling it.I had barely slept, replaying every detail in my head, wondering what she must be thinking now. Did she regret it? Did it mean anything to her? Did it mean as much to her as it did to me?Her office door was slightly ajar, and I caught a glimpse of her inside. She was seated at her desk, her expression neutral, focused on something on her computer screen. But I knew her well enough to notice the tension in her shoulders, the way her fingers tapped absently against the edge of her desk.She was thinking about last night too.I took a deep breath, steeling myself, and pushed the door open fully. She looked up, her green eyes locking onto mine. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The air between us felt char
