Stephanie Toussaint.When I heard Matt was asking about the girls’ birthdate, I knew right away that he was suspecting something. The three children are identical. It is obvious to anyone who sees them they have a father in common. But it never occurred to me how my stomach would turn to feeling threatened by this secret.I know I have to confess everything to Matt, and he will be furious. I know. But I do not know how. I lie down on my bed, while I wait for Amelia to bring me some grass water so I can calm my bubbling stomach.Emily watches me from the door with her brow furrowed and her arms crossed. I tell her, “Whatever you want to tell me, Emily, just say it.”She scratches the bridge of her nose and says to me, “When are you going to tell Matt that he is the girls’ real father? He has the right to know, you know?”I open my eyes wide and tell her, “I know he has the right to know. That makes it more difficult. I don’t want to get into a legal dispute with him.”“I think you’re m
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 55. Dinner with Tom.
Stephanie Miller.After the past events, we invited Tom and Raul to dinner at the estate. It is not the first time we have had dinner together, but in truth, this time, we have ulterior motives, which concern the safety and stability of the girls. With Enzo, we need to know if they will be safe around Antonella or not.The doorbell rings, and I see Mildred open the door. Smiling, Tom and Raul enter the estate. “How nice to see you!” I tell them, hugging each one.Enzo hugs them too as he says, “It’s good to have you here. How have you been?”Tom says, “We’ve been fine, except for this weather. I hate winter.”Raul smiles and says, “Tom, you hate many things, but winter is not one of them.”“What are you talking about? Yes, I hate winter.”“You hate the cold weather, but not the winter.”“Is the same.”I see Raul shake his head in denial, while he prefers to remain silent so as not to get into an argument with his husband. He says in my ear, “happy wife, happy life,”I look at him, smi
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 56. Asking for help.
Stephanie Toussaint.A mix of emotions accompanies Tom’s question. He knows perfectly well that, if the answer is yes, he will have problems with Raul and Antonella because of her sudden insecurities. Honestly, I don’t know what to do.I just look at Tom and say, “Wait a minute.”I stand up and approach Cat. “Hey, baby. What happened? Did you have a nightmare again?”“Yes mommy. The wicked man came into my dreams again. But this time, there was a woman accompanying him.”I frown and say, “And what were they doing, baby?”“They were taking my brother, mommy.”I open my eyes wide and see Enzo’s face turn pale. Quickly, I take her in my arms and say, “Don’t worry, honey. It’s just a bad dream. Come on, I’ll take you to your bed.”I watch as she yawns and rests her head on my shoulder as I take her to her room. While I carried her in my arms, I couldn’t stop thinking about Cat’s dream. They knew they had a brother and that he had disappeared. Maybe knowing that is forming a type of trauma
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 57. Searching for the truth.
Matthew Anderson.The last month and a half has been chaotic and everything has become confusing, with Steph returning to my life. I understand I can no longer have her back as my wife, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to know the truth.It cannot be that the girls are the same age, the same date of birth as Chris and that they are Vicenzo’s daughters. At least, it’s something I don’t want to believe, because that would mean that Stephanie was unfaithful to me with him, before the trap they set for me.But even so, the dates don’t add up. No, there’s something else here. Determined, I picked up the phone and called Taylor.“Yes, Mr. Anderson?”“Taylor, I need you to come to my office now.”“I’ll be right away, sir.”I cut off the phone and took something I stole from Steph’s house from my safe: a glass. The girls were drinking hot chocolate when I arrived to pick up Chris, and in the shock of Steph fainting, I took it with no one noticing.The door to my office opens and I see Taylo
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 58. It's time to tell the truth.
Stephanie Toussaint.After dinner I had with Tom and Raul last week, I decided it was time Matt learned the truth. Enzo doesn’t agree, but understands that when it comes to this, he just has to support me.I sit on the bed with my cell phone in my hand. A bubbling is felt in my belly while stress invades me. Sighing, I gather the courage to do what I have to do.As I dial Matt’s number, which rings twice until I hear his voice saying, “Stephanie? How are you?”I see he is in a good mood. “Am okay. Thanks Matt.”“How do you feel? The last time I saw you, you were vomiting your insides into that poor plant.”I feel my cheeks blush at hearing him say that. In a whisper, I say. “I’m sorry.”“Why? There’s nothing wrong with what happened, Steph. No need to apologize. Alright?”“Alright.”“Good. Now tell me. To what do I owe the honor of your calling?”I clear my throat as I say, “Do you have time now? I need to talk to you, but I don’t want it to be on the phone. It is important. Could be?
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 59. Better than expected.
Stephanie Toussaint.I stared at Matt in absolute shock. I can’t believe he already knows the girls are his, and he’s not mad. Actually, I cannot believe it. All this time, I formed an idea in my head that Matt was so immature and manipulative that he would do anything to do his bidding. It’s... a pleasant surprise, to tell the truth.I clear my throat and say, “Are you okay?”“Why wouldn’t I be? That’s wonderful news, Steph! I promise I will be the best dad the girls will ever have.”I sigh and tell him, “Matt, Enzo has been their dad all these years. They adore him. Don’t go against that because the girls are... stubborn. Imagine, they are our daughters.”I see him laugh as he says, “I can imagine how stubborn they can be. And I know Vicenzo has taken care of them. I promise I won’t get in the way of their relationship. I just want to meet them. Do they know about me?”“They know that they have a biological father, and they have their daddy, Vicenzo. The difference in how to name yo
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 60. Detention.
Matthew Anderson.Having Stephanie so close to me made my heart race. She fainted in my arms and instead of asking for help, I wanted to keep her with me for a moment. I snuggled her in my lap while still stroking her hair and skin. I smell her scent, remembering how intoxicating it is.Having her so close to me makes me remember my life with her and how lucky I was to have her to myself for so many years. It’s funny to realize what you had until you lose it. I’ve always known how wonderful she is, but not being able to have her with me anymore only made me miss her even more. I am deeply in love with her! And most likely I will die loving her.But honestly, I don’t care. I’ve tried to rebuild my life in the arms of another woman and look how that turned out. Antonella wanted to kill Chris. And even if she denies it and there is no conclusive evidence against her, there will always be doubt. Apart from the fact that she left him forgotten in the park. All of this only makes the situat
Betrayal. Fleeing from the Billionaire. Chapter 61. I hate her!
Antonella Lombardo. Living under the shadow of a memory is as painful as being aware, every day, that you will never be the first. It’s frustrating to fall in love with a man who only sees you as his second choice. But that’s the way I love Matt. It may sound pathetic, I know. If my friends told me they would prefer to stay with the man despite knowing that their love is not returned, I would tell them they are idiots without self-love. Maybe it’s obsession or maybe it’s the prevailing desire not to fail, but I knew exactly what I was getting into when I accepted that drink the night we met. I knew that when he slept with me; he imagined he was with her. One night when we were in bed, he called me by her name. That was a low blow. Very low. I always wanted to meet him. Envy consumed me as I saw her radiant with happiness, planning her marriage with the man I knew was meant to be mine while browsing through the magazines. I was born to be Mrs. Anderson, not Stephanie. I drop my pen
