Karen’s POVThe door was shut behind Devon, the sound was like a thud and I smiled thinking about how to go about the plan that I already thought of in my head.I stood erect in the empty room, my heart still racing from the encounter although a little bit bold and ready to gain his trust back. His hateful words lingered in my thoughts and I tried as much as I could so as not to think about what he said in order not to get distracted from doing what was in my head. Although every insult he had thrown at me felt like some part of my heart was ripped from my body. I knew I couldn’t let it break me nor would I let it make me not fulfill my plans. I had to keep going and be bold, this was a do-or-die affair because If I didn’t gain his trust then he might kill me any moment from now.This is day one of gaining his trust back. I wondered what it would look like to be in a battle to gain his trust again, and it would take more than words to change his mind. He wouldn’t listen to me yet b

Devon’s POVThe tires rolled through the garage as I pulled up to the house with Laura sitting with me. Laura’s dramatic laughter rings in my ears like a mosquito noise when they want to sting you. I shot her a sideways glance, watching her as she got down from the passenger seat, her red lips curving into that sly smile like she was about to do something evil which was happening anyway.“Ready to have some fun?” she mouthed while eating the remaining pizza she was holding. She slid her hand up my thigh but I didn’t give her any reply. She was beginning to cross her boundaries and I stared at her disgustingly. Women will forever look like a whore to me, I don’t think I would ever take them seriously ever again because all they do is tell lies and cheat. They are never satisfied like Karen. I clenched my jaw at the thought of her, at the mess she’d become. How she was once everything I needed and wanted, but now? She was just another problem, I had every intention of erasing, Slo

Devon's POVKaren’s shoulders stiffened, and for the first time, she paused in her task. She turned, looking at Laura and then at me. Her lips parted as if she was about to speak, but then she closed them again, her gaze dropping back to the food reserving her words back to herself.“You should hurry up with whatever you are doing because I don’t have enough time to waste here.” I roared, running my hands on my hair tiredly.She turned back to the counter, continuing her cooking in silence as usual. The smell of frying meat filled the air, but the tension in the room was enough to make the room suffocating for her than the aroma of the food.Laura walked towards me, settling herself onto my lap, her arms wrapping around my neck. I could feel her breath on my ear, her lips brushing against my skin. But my eyes were on Karen watching her every move and her facial expression. I want to see the hurt look on her face.This was her punishment, And I was going to make sure she felt every sing

Karen’s POVThe morning light shone through the curtains, casting soft rays over the bed. I blinked my eyes open, the memories of yesterday rushing into my memories like it was something I was hoarding onto. Devon’s harsh words, Laura’s taunting smile, it all played back in my mind, but I refused to let it break me, Not today.I sat up, my body light like someone who doesn't eat anything at all. I can’t even blame myself because if I eat when all this is happening, I can't even find my peace anymore. The Mansion was quiet as always, but I welcomed the silence almost all the time. It gave me space to breathe, to think, and for clarity. Devon’s cruelty had reached new heights, but I couldn’t afford to crumble now. I had to prove to him that I wasn’t the weak woman he thought I was and must make sure I proved to him while planning other things in my head.Taking a deep breath, I slid out of bed, my feet sinking into the cold floor. Today had to be different, I need to try something els

Karen’s PovThe moment I was out of sight, my composure crumbled. Sobs filled the room and I hugged my knees to my chest, the pain of Devon’s rejection, his cruelty, and Laura’s taunts hitting me all at once again. Nothing hurts so much when the person you love treats you like trash, it’s not about him anymore but just clearing my name from this shit and letting him go. When I am done making him realize his self, I would let him go but not until I see him vulnerable.But even amid my pain, a small voice inside me refused to give up, I wasn’t done yet.Wiping my face, I sat up, forcing myself to breathe slowly. They thought they’d broken me, but they cannot, Not completely. There was still a part of me that refused to let go. I believe that there was still something worth fighting for. I wasn’t going to let Devon win, Not like this. In as much as the tormenting goes on then fighting back to clear my name still holds unless he decides to chase me out of here which I will gladly accept

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 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

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
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 104
Karen's POVI picked up the phone, my fingers trembling slightly as I dialed Troy's number. The seconds felt like hours as I waited for him to pick up. When he did, his voice was a welcome comfort, steady and reassuring."Karen?" he asked, his tone instantly alert. "What's going on?"I hesitated for a moment, weighing my words carefully. "I just got a call from the police. They want me to come down to the station. Something urgent about my case," I said, my voice tight with a mix of concern and frustration.There was a pause on the other end before Troy responded, his voice low and serious. "Do they say what it's about?""No, they wouldn’t tell me over the phone," I replied, glancing at the clock again. "I’m heading over as soon as I can. I just... I don't know what’s going on, but it doesn't feel good."Troy let out a quiet sigh. "Alright. Keep me posted. Be smart about your movements. Don't do anything rash. We don't know if this is just about your case or if it’s something more."I

Karen's POV My fingers trembled as I read the note again, each word feeling like a dark omen.I set the note down, my thoughts racing. The fruit basket seemed harmless enough, but I wasn’t about to let my guard down. It was the small things, the subtle gestures, that always made me question her intentions. She had played me before, and I couldn’t afford to be a fool again. I reached for my phone, my mind racing through possibilities. I knew Troy would be the first person I’d need to consult, but as I pulled up his number, something caught my attention— the address on the note was different from what he had told me. The location wasn’t familiar. It wasn’t the one he’d mentioned in our previous conversations. My heart skipped a beat. Lauren was playing a game I didn’t understand, but I wasn’t about to let her win.The question gnawed at me: Should I go, or should I stay? It was already late, and I felt the weight of exhaustion settling into my bones. My body screamed for sleep, but m

Karen's pov.I was about to get into my parked car when my phone rang, looking up at it, I saw it was Troy.We haven't talked since I told him about Lauren and he decided to offer his help. As of last week, I hadn't been present at work all through. I needed to make sure I cracked the Laurens case and what she was truly on to. Several police updates showed some results but they were rather slow then frequent.The call missed before I had the chance to pick up and I immediately called back. He picked up after the second ring. “Hello, Karen.” His voice rang out. “Hey. Any updates?” I didn't have the time to beat around the bush and as much as I knew the words didn't come out in my most friendly tone I wasn’t still going to rephrase it.“Fortunately, yes. Lauren was spotted,” Troy said, his tone measured but firm, as though he was carefully weighing every word.My heart skipped a beat. “Where?” I asked, the question spilling out before I could stop myself.“My team tracked her to a c

Devon’s POVThe drive from O’Hara’s office back to my place was a blur. My mind was spinning, caught between the pressure of what O'Hara had demanded and the situation with Lauren and Karen. I had been so wrapped up in trying to keep O'Hara from pulling the trigger that I hadn't fully processed the weight of what was happening with Lauren. The bitch was dangerous.And she was playing her games again.It had been a long time since I’d thought about Lauren—since the fallout from our relationship had torn us both apart. But now, she was back in my thoughts, like an old wound that refused to heal. I wasn’t sure why I hadn’t seen it before. Maybe because I was trying to protect Karen from the mess of my past. Or maybe because, in the end, I just wanted to distance myself from the people who had only ever caused me trouble.But Lauren was a problem that couldn’t be ignored.I pulled into the parking lot, turned off the engine, and sat there for a moment, staring at the dashboard. I had a ch
A Billionaire's Love Chapter 100
Karen’s POVSaturday morning greeted me with a calm I didn’t feel. The sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, warming the hardwood floors, but it was a stark contrast to the chill in my chest. I sipped my coffee, staring out at the backyard where Paris and Aiden were playing with a small soccer ball. Their laughter floated in through the open window, a sound so pure and carefree it made my heart ache.I had spent most of the night tossing and turning, unable to shake the image of Richard’s lifeless body or the venom in Lauren’s imagined smirk. Devon’s visit hadn’t helped either; it had left me with a knot of unresolved anger and fear that I couldn’t untangle.As I took another sip, a knock at the front door startled me. I set my mug down and walked toward the door, trying to compose myself.“Troy,” I said, opening the door to see him standing there with his easy smile. He was dressed casually, a leather jacket thrown over a simple black shirt and jeans, but he still exuded the q
