Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 34. This is finally over.
Stephanie Miller.After I literally attack Enzo's lips in the hallway, I enter the room, smiling. Although I can’t stop thinking about my son, this is a slight break from the immense pain I feel.“Oops! What did you do, queen? You’re… blushing.” A mocking Amelia tells me, with her eyebrow raised.Emily looks at me and says, “Something tells me those lips got some action.” I open my eyes wide; I look at them and I can’t help but bring my hands to my cheeks.They laugh, but it is Amelia who says, “Do not blush, nor be ashamed, queen. You two have been wanting each other for months.”“Amelia is right. The sexual tension between you is palpable. Besides, Steph, you need a little happiness in your life.”“Yes, besides, he is a candy man that you can see at any time of the day.” Amelia says sighing.“Give it a chance and give yourself a chance, Steph. He loves you and adores the girls. Do you know how difficult it is to find a man who will accept a woman with children who are not his?“Emily
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 35. Back home.
Stephanie Toussaint.Five years later.“Remember that you can remove your seat belt once the plane has come to a complete stop.”“Electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets and laptops can be used normally. Welcome to New York City. We hope you had a pleasant flight.”I sigh, looking out the plane window, observing that I have returned to the place where I did not set foot on the ground a little over five years ago, the place where I spent the worst moments of my life.“Mommy! I’m very excited to see this place…” I look at the face of my little Catherine or Cat, as we all call her, with her illuminated gaze. God! She is the spitting image of Matt.“Me too Mommy. I like that it’s winter here. Will we be able to see the snow?” Charlotte or Lottie, as we call her, she tells me. She is like me. If Cat’s hair is brown, then Lottie’s is blonde. But they both have the same thing as their father: his incredible blue eyes.I often think about what my son’s face would have been like. Althou
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 36. Everything comes back to me.
Stephanie Toussaint.Curiosity invades me when I hear Amelia curse. As I follow her gaze, I meet that pair of incredible blue eyes, which accompanied me for much of my life.We stared at each other for a few seconds. Those were the longest of my life. My heart races, my palms sweat, and my mouth feels dry.When I saw him started walking towards where I am, I get nervous and the only thing I can do is turn around and say, “Ame, take me to where my dad is.”Amelia frowns, but says, “Come with me, queen.”And so, we quickly headed towards the pre-op, leaving Enzo in the waiting room. God! I just hope those two don’t argue or fight.The last time those two exchanged words on the phone, they argued. That was five years ago.Matt has changed nothing. He is still the man with an important presence, who looks millionaire and sophisticated. I sigh at the image of my girl’s father.“Amelia, what is Matt doing here? Who is sick?”“Honestly, I do not know. It’s the first time I’ve seen him in ove
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 37. Doubts.
Vicenzo Toussaint.Once we returned to New York with my girls, doubts invaded me. Not for me, but for my family. I have worked so hard to achieve everything I have.It was nearly two years of waiting for Steph to become my wife legally, but that doesn’t mean I’ll always feel insecure about her feelings for Matt.I know Steph loves me... but I also know that, despite everything, Matt is her first love. And one that is difficult to forget. Therefore, she will always have feelings for him.For these five years, we have been living in our little family bubble. We create a routine where we are a great team, being a couple and being parents. I love my girls!Returning to New York means that, even though I want to avoid it, at some point, the girls will have to meet Matt again. I just hope the damn idiot has matured.I sigh at the incipient anxiety that comes with being back in this city.Once we’re at the hospital, I listen carefully to what Amelia tells us and I can clearly see how worried
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 38 See her again.
Matthew Anderson.I never thought I would see her again. I said goodbye to her five years ago, the day Vicenzo told me he was with her. Today I had to come to the hospital, since they were going to give me a tour of the main rooms of the hospital. Therefore, having them here took me by surprise.I became a majority partner of this place, because of the mismanagement of the former president of the hospital. I’m actually doing this as a personal favor to Edward, head of surgery.Since the hospital was going bankrupt and this was the first hospital that Steph worked at and Amelia, who is still here, I decided to take over.Although it is the first time that I invest in health, I am dedicated to buying companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy. To save it or to sell it at a higher price.But with the hospital, I am determined to save it. It will remain within my estate for life and in time, I hope Christian will want to manage it.I was absolutely stunned to see her again, kissing ano
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 39. Despite everything... I miss him.
Stephanie Toussaint.I stare at the scene unfolding before me. Matt hugs his fiancée, kissing her forehead and holding her to his chest.And to think that five years ago, it was me who he hugged madly. No, Stephanie! Don’t go there. You are a happily married woman with a great family. Missing something you had doesn’t do anyone any good.And on top of that, Matt is an idiot who hasn’t changed a thing. He cheated on you; he has a son and now he’s getting married too.I shake off my confused thoughts when Matt stares at me from the door and, without avoiding it, I hear him say, “Steph, please, can we talk?”Unable to flee the place, I put on my big girl’s clothes: I stand up straight, lift my chin, and look at him straight on, devoid of all emotion. “What do you want, Mr. Anderson?”He stands in front of me, eyes wide, as he says, “Mr. Anderson?”“That’s your name, right? Unless you are going to take your fiancée’s last name. That would be quite progressive.”His gaze darkens and becomes
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 40. Dinner.
Stephanie Toussaint.After the awkward conversation with Matt, I headed to the waiting room. Enzo was calmly waiting for me there. If he’s ever felt intimidated by the memory of Matt, I hope today has shown him it’s just that. A memory.We waited four hours, until, finally; we saw Amelia come out. Quickly, we stand up, eager to hear her.“The operation was a success, Steph. Your dad is already in his room, resting. Before coming to tell you the good news, I waited for him to come out of the anesthesia. He is alright. Breathe easy, friend.”“Thank you, Ame!” I hug her tightly while kissing her cheek.Enzo approaches her and hugs her too, while saying, “Good job, sis. We never doubted your skill.”Amelia laughs and hits him on the arm. “Yes, I know. I am amazing. This hospital should pay me more.”We all laughed at her comment. Then she says, “queen, I’m going to go lie down for a while. I’m on call today and has been a long one. Let’s talk tomorrow?”“Sure, Ame. Hey, can we go to dad’s
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 41. Awkward situation.
Stephanie Toussaint.I take little Christian’s hand and we walk slowly through the restaurant. This allows me to observe the place, and it is truly exquisite. At the entrance, I can see many people waiting at the bar for a table to be free and there is a line of people waiting outside just to enter the bar area.“Do you remember where you were sitting?”“Hum… I just remember that we entered, and the lady led us down a hallway.”I frown, trying to remember the hallway. “Was there something else where you went? Anything that caught your attention?”“I do not remember.” I see how the little one lowers his gaze as a sign of sadness. Oh, my God! He’s so adorable. It makes me want to hug him and shower him with kisses!I tell him, “Don’t worry, honey. We will find your parents.”He looks up and says, “I don’t have a mom. And I don’t like dad’s girlfriend. She shouts a lot.” He frowns after saying it.I sigh, as I realize how lucky my girls are. Enzo loves them madly and would be incapable of
