A Billionaire's Love Chapter 71
Karen’s POV The day had finally arrived, Jordie's birthday. I had been planning this surprise party for weeks, and I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she walked into the room. The kids, Paris and Austin, were bubbling with excitement, and I could tell they were having a hard time keeping the secret.As we waited for Jordie to arrive, I couldn't help but think about our past. The struggles i had faced when I first arrived at New York on the streets of the cold allies. It was a miracle that I meant Jordie that night. There were tugs running in the ally and I didn’t know. The kids where coming and I couldn’t afford the money for a hospital so I just slumped down on the side and hold that death would just take me once and for all cause the pain was too unbearable for me and I just couldn’t.I wanted to stay alive to give birth to my kids but the pain of everything was just too much. Liam wasn’t willing to give it a rest and still chased after me and after smuggling into dif

Devon’s POV I stood outside the office building, taking a deep breath before pushing open the door. I had been dreading this moment for weeks, but I knew I had to do it. I had to get back on my feet, and this was the first step.As I walked up to the reception desk, the receptionist looked up at me with a mixture of surprise and annoyance. "You're back," she said, her voice dripping with disdain. "I didn't think you'd actually show up after yesterday's... performance."I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I remembered my attempt to persuade her to let me see Karen. "Yeah, I'm here to start work as the errand boy," I said, trying to sound confident.The receptionist raised an eyebrow. "You're the one who was trying to sweet-talk me into getting you an interview with Karen, aren't you?" she said, her tone accusatory.I nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Yeah, that was me."The receptionist shook her head. "I'll let Mr. Greg know you're here," she said, picking up the phone.A few minut

Devon's pov.Her long black hair descended down her back and the others covered her face. “Gemini?”The words left my mouth before I could even register it.Greg was first to turn and this hissed in frustration before hurriedly walking to Karen's office. Meanwhile, Gemini turned slightly glancing at me for a moment and I saw something flicker in her eyes–amusement.She walked past my desk before entering Karen's office. What was she doing here? As if it wasn't bad enough that I'd met Karen and now Gemini too. After Grey Tech fell, the entire members scattered and well I didn't hear from Gemini days later. She had said the previous day before then that she was in her way but after waiting for her for hours, it was clear that she had completely abandoned the ship just like the others. Gemini was a smart woman despite how shaken age always was. After everything that happened in Grey Tech she soon took the position as manager in Lex Operate faster than I expected. It was normal to th

Karen's Pov My office was quiet as usual with just the bustling and faint sound of cars passing by. I was used to it all, five years were enough to learn a habit of two. Greg's perfume along with my new assistant who supposedly goes by the name Gemini had just left the office but could still hear their muffled conversations from just the office door. Gemini was Liam's old secretary and that was all I knew about her. She was the only eligible candidate suitable for this role well…except Devon but she has come earlier. I didn't know her well but from the few things I heard she was smart in business negotiations and very persuasive. Every move she made was calculated and deliberate. It wasn't that drawed me to her and I could easily go for the next candidate due to her tardiness but there was this feeling that said I shouldn't let her go yet.. If she was late, it wasn’t because she overslept or got caught in traffic. It was something else but I wasn't quite sure but she'd be damned

Karen's POVBy the time I parked in my driveway and stepped out, I looked at the house in front of me. I was glad to be home, though my mind was still flooded with the events from work and the chaos of the day.Work was never tiring for me; I enjoyed what I did and every moment of it, but having Gemini and Devon around now made it a bit of a hassle. It made me more excited to leave than to stay. It wasn't supposed to be that way.There were too many meetings and decisions to be made, but the Lord knows that has never been a problem for me. I thrived on things like that, and problem-solving was one of my many admirable traits.The only thing out of place was the new people flooding my safe haven, but I couldn't let it get to me. I was the boss, and I built this place.Stepping inside, I barely had enough time to remove my coat and set my keys down when Paris came bolting toward me, her little legs stomping on the tiles, and her giggles filled the air. She gave me a wide smile before he

Karen's pov.Another day, another slay…yeah right, I wasn't that delusional. The buzzing sound of the alarm filled the room cutting through the silence of the room and early morning. Groaning, I reached out to silence the disturbing sound and my hands landed directly on the snooze button for the third time again.I had to get up by exactly 5am to prepare the kids for school now that Jordie was absent and still make it early to work but yet here I was, snoozing yet again. I'd barely gotten any sleep the night before. Between the stress at work and the worry about Jordie leaving, I wasn’t feeling my best today.I dragged myself out of bed, stretching as I glanced at the clock. 6:30 AM. I had less than an hour to get myself together, get the kids dressed, and somehow still look like a functional adult when I walked out the door.The moment I entered the hallway, I heard the sound of giggling. I walked into the living room, rubbing my eyes.Paris and Aiden were already awake and, as usu

Karen's pov I rushed to my car, trying to quiet the swirl of thoughts in my mind. The morning had been hectic, as it always was when Jordie wasn’t around. I’d barely had time to take a deep breath before Troy arrived, but there was something about him—his calm demeanor, his easy confidence—that reassured me. I’d watched him interact with Paris and Aiden, and the way he immediately slipped into a playful routine with them made me feel a little more at ease. As I settled into the driver’s seat, I adjusted the rearview mirror, took one last glance at the house, and pulled out of the driveway. The kids would be fine. I trusted Troy to take them to school, even though I’d only just met him. And as much as I had my reservations about letting a stranger—albeit a friend of Jordie’s—into our lives, I couldn’t deny that he had a certain calm energy about him. Something that puts my worries at ease.Still, I couldn’t shake the unease completely. What if something went wrong? What if the kids d

Devon’s POV“Get out. Now.” She said and her voice was filled with so much disdain and finality.Her words slashed through my heart and I froze in place. I didn't expect her to react like this, not after she had been so calm just moments ago.I opened my mouth to speak in my defense or at least try to explain to her what I wanted to say, hoping that maybe she'd give me a chance but her expression hardened even more and she raised her hand stopping me.“I don’t want to hear it, Devon. Just go,” she said, her tone clipped. “Get back to work.” She dismissed me before returning her head back to the system placed in front of her, even if she didn't look up again I could tell she was daring me to defy her. My chest tightened and instant regret overwhelmed me. I wanted to tell her everything,explain how sorry I was again and again, no matter how long it took. I nodded though I was reluctant and headed to the door, heading outside her office. The door closed behind me with a soft thud b

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

Karen's Pov (18+)PRESENT TIME “If this is all true,” I said, my voice shaking as I tried to steady myself, “if Lauren isn’t the one after me, and you might have some kind of lead… why are you helping me? Why are you doing this? Why can’t you just wait for everything to change? Why can’t you just… wait for me to figure this out? Why must you help me?” The words came out more frantic than I intended, my emotions teetering on the edge. Devon’s eyes softened as he stepped closer, his expression unreadable but achingly familiar. “I’m helping you because I love you,” he said, his voice firm, but there was a vulnerability there too. I froze. “I always have,” he continued, his words deliberate, every syllable sinking into me. “Even in those five years I stayed away, Karen. Even when I tried to let you go. I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I couldn’t stop loving you.” He moved even closer, the heat of his body radiating against mine. His hand brushed against my arm, a featherligh

Devon’s POVEARLIER…The harsh cold of the night air bit into my skin as I walked out of the hotel, my mind spinning with the conversation I had just had with Lauren. If she wasn’t the one after Karen, then who the hell was? I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was missing something—something crucial. There had to be a bigger picture here, something I wasn’t seeing.The more I thought about it, the tighter the knot in my stomach became. I couldn’t just ignore it. Karen was at risk, and somehow, I was tangled in this twisted game.I had to find out. I had to get answers before it was too late. But before I did anything rash, there was one person I had to talk to.O'Hara.My mind raced, and before I even realized it, my feet carried me to my cab. I had already betrayed Karen too many times, and this—this was no different. The constant lies, the manipulation—it had to stop. But if I didn’t act now, everything I cared about would come crashing down. I couldn’t continue working for O’Hara,

Karen's POV“He was caught visiting Lauren a few days ago,” He uttered, bracing himself for my reaction.I blinked, my heart skipping a beat. We're my ears playing games with me?“Devon?” I repeated and he nodded his head. He told me he wasn't with her anymore. He loved the kids, didn't he?“Are you sure? Devon? With Lauren?”He nodded again. “We have footage, Karen. It’s solid. If you want to see it, you can come down to the office tomorrow.”I was stunned. I didn’t even know what to say. Devon and Lauren? Again? He had promised me he was done with her, that he wanted to fix things for the sake of the kids. Was that all just a lie?“Unbelievable,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair. “He said he wasn’t involved with her anymore. That he was trying to move on.”His expression softened, but his tone remained serious. “Look, Karen, I know this is hard to hear, but you need to be careful. Whatever’s going on, don’t let him know you’re aware of this. Keep things normal around him

Karen's POVTroy turned to me with a smile. "How about one last treat before the day ends?" he asked.I raised an eyebrow, a small smile playing on my lips despite myself. "Another treat? You’ve already done enough, Troy. I think I’ve taken up enough of your time today."He shook his head, dismissing my protest with a wave of his hand. "Nonsense. You deserve this, Karen. Trust me, you’ll enjoy it."There was something about the way he said it that made it hard to argue. Reluctantly, I nodded. "Fine, but just this once. Don’t make a habit of spoiling me."He chuckled softly, leading me to the car. Once again, he opened the door for me. I slid into the seat, trying not to let the gesture affect me too much, but it was hard to ignore the small flutter in my chest.As we drove, I glanced at him curiously. "So, where exactly are we going this time?""You’ll see," he replied, eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.We drove through the city streets until we reached a quaint corner that l
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 108
Karen's POVThe throbbing in my head was relentless. I pressed my fingertips to my temples, trying to ease the ache, but nothing worked. It had been one of those mornings—exhausting, emotional, and everything in between. The kids were at the park with Jordie, and for the first time in days, I was alone, which should’ve been a relief, but all I felt was the weight of everything crashing down on me.I sank deeper into the couch, hoping for some peace, but the silence of the house felt deafening. The walls seemed to close in, and I found it hard to breathe with the pressure that had built up inside me. The events of the past few days were replaying in my mind—my argument with Devon, the overwhelming stress of trying to keep everything together for my kids, and the loneliness that had become so familiar.The quiet was interrupted by a knock at the door, and I froze. Who could that be? I wasn’t expecting anyone.I forced myself to stand, my head spinning as I made my way to the door. When

My grip on the seat tightened as the car pulled into Karen’s driveway. The house loomed in the dim light of the streetlamp, but it wasn’t the familiar structure that caught my attention—it was Karen.She was leaning over the hood of her car, a bottle of something amber-colored clutched in her trembling hand. Her hair was disheveled, and even from this distance, I could see her shoulders shaking.My heart dropped. Karen wasn’t the type to let herself unravel like this.The car came to a stop, and I stepped out, my boots crunching on the gravel. She didn’t even look up as I approached, too consumed by her own tears and whatever thoughts had driven her to this state.“Karen,” I said softly.Her head snapped up, and her glassy eyes met mine. “You came,” she slurred, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. “Of course, you came. Always the hero, huh?”“What the hell is going on?” I asked, my tone gentle but firm as I took the bottle from her hand.She didn’t resist, just waved vaguely at the air.

Devon's pov He hesitated, his instincts screaming at him to leave, but her words cut through his resolve. “Come on, Devon,” Lauren said, her voice low and inviting. “Don’t you want to know? Aren’t you curious about what I have to say?”Her eyes locked onto his, a smirk tugging at her lips as she patted the space beside her on the bed. Against his better judgment, he moved forward, his jaw clenched as he lowered himself onto the edge of the mattress, keeping a careful distance between them.Lauren shifted, her posture relaxed yet calculated, her knee brushing against his. “You look tense,” she purred, her voice dripping with false concern. “You’ve always carried the weight of the world on your shoulders, haven’t you?”“Lauren, if you’ve called me here to waste my time—”“I called you here because I care, Devon,” she interrupted smoothly, her hand sliding onto his thigh. “I’ve missed you.”Her fingers trailed upward, and he stiffened, his gaze snapping to hers. Lauren leaned in, her pe
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 105
Devon's POVThe phone buzzed on the corner of my desk. O’Hara’s name lit up the screen for what felt like the hundredth time in the past two days. I’d ignored it, silenced it, even turned the damn thing face down in the hopes it would stop. But now, as I sat in the dim light of my office, the soft hum of activity from the floor below echoing faintly, I knew I couldn’t avoid it any longer.My hand hovered over the phone, the weight of the decision pressing down on me. Finally, with a resigned sigh, I picked it up and swiped to answer.“O’Hara,” I said flatly, my voice betraying none of the turmoil swirling within me.“Devon,” came the familiar oily tone on the other end. “I was beginning to think you’d forgotten all about me.”“Been busy,” I replied curtly, leaning back in my chair.“Well, I hope you’ve been busy getting me something useful. Any updates?”I hesitated, staring at the papers strewn across my desk. My fingers drummed a restless rhythm on the wood as I considered my respon
