Betrayed Love: Stuck Between the Billionaires Chapter 11
EvaI bursted into my door with urgency, slamming it behind me.Hours had passed since I left that damned company, since I forced myself to turn away and drive out of that scene, yet it still remained in my head.My belly twisted and turned from pure nausea. I threw my bag to the nearest couch and headed to my room, slamming the door behind me. Immediately turning on the shower I stripped and sank under the cool water. It felt like nothing could cool me down.As I closed my eyes it was all I could see. A mix of betrayal and hatred bubbled up inside me.From Brienne I was shocked, yet not fully surprised. I'd had to untangle enough of her passive aggressive and manipulative behaviors towards me I was blind to in the past to feel as bothered. But him ..What aggravated me the most wasn't seeing them together like bosom friends, even though the sight made me retch. No, what truly got me was that smirk. He looked proud that I was seeing them. Victorious even.Whether he told Brienne or not

EvaI stormed into the building without an ounce hesitation. Some people quickly recognized me and I received some greetings I silently replied to. It would have been a laughable one, me entering his company building without a care, but this time I was completely furious.I wasn't going to take his insubordination anymore. Him and Brianna weren't going to make my life hell and I would make sure of it. Stepping out of the elevator leading to his office I was met with the same redhead who eyed me with surprise. She didn't matter.“Is he in his office?” I asked, looking at the door a distance away from her seat that was clearly his office. I didn't wait for her to answer. “Hey!” a high pitched voice called out. I ignored the calls from behind me as I striding there and opening the door. To my surprise it gave in easily, pushing open. He didn't even lock it.I stepped inside, looking around the large space. The office was a mix of dark and white with chaises and sofas and carpets. It lo

EvaSilence filled the air, only broken by my panting breaths. He remained still for a moment looking like a statue. The anger and exhaustion in me had driven me to this point.I should have slapped him a long time ago. The same day he started making threats to me even but now I wasn't in the least satisfied with this.I took a step back to distance myself away from him but it didn't make a difference. He was still frozen on the spot, face still shifted sideways.“You crossed the line Mr Reynolds.” I stared frostily. I could barely recognize my own voice with how cool it was.‘Slut,’ the word echoed inside my head. He just called me that.The reminder of the past thing he called me right before throwing me out all those years ago echoed. ‘Gold digging whore.’ Why? What had I done to deserve such an insult when I had been nothing but innocent in the face of their cruelty and schemes?Once I had shed tears at the constant reminder, now all I felt was rage.I pushed all those thoughts

EvaI spotted her immediately at the entrance of the Greenhouse Cafe as per her instructions. It wasn't hard considering her unique style. The nude overcoat she wore spoke of quiet luxury. I could tell it was expensive yet it was humble.She noticed me when I came closer, a pleasant surprise coloring her face. Every time I saw her I was always shocked at how youthful she looked. despite being in her late 40s she looked a decade younger, her outfit bringing her more elegance.“You really didn't have to wait outside.” I protested, guilt pooling my belly. It had taken me some time to find the location and I'd gotten even more held up by the traffic.“Nonsense. I haven't been here for long anyways.” She said, trying to wave away the topic. Despite her attempt I still felt bad for keeping her waiting. Despite being a member of one of one of the wealthiest families, she was always so nice and sweet and down to earth, so different from her other peers. It really made me wonder how she could

EvaIn the end, my decision was hard but I fought the guilt away.“Nothing much.” I lied, turning away to drink the coffee I ordered. “What about you?” I asked, turning the question back at her. It took a second after to discover my mistake, but it was too late.Bitter guilt heated up my belly as her face fell, as if the reminder of her situation was enough to bring her down. Unlike me, she was already open with her problems, no matter how vague it was and I already knew most of it.“I'm sorry, you don't have to answer.” I quickly tried to backtrack, but she shook her head.“It's okay. It's been a long while since I've shared problems with anyone.” She said, putting her cup down.“You already know about the situation with Viktor. Richard is no different. Ever since Viktor fully took over, all he does is focus on his drinking and gambling now. The only good thing about it now is that he mostly ignores me a lot more. It's why I can go out freely like I did today. I found this place and

Eva“It must be so lonely for you, you know, without the kids and all.” her voice came through. I sighed, relaxing on my office seat with my phone in my ear.“It really is.” I replied, “I didn't think this through if I'm being honest. Two months is a long time. Now I'm counting the days till they come back.” I sighed out.Penelope chuckled through the phone “Unfortunately I can't relate. Traveling never gets tiring.”“You've earned it.” I quipped back. Even though she was an entire continent away, I could imagine her warm smile from my words.Years ago, she was the one to give me a place to stay after being kicked out. I met her by accident, stopping at the restaurant she owned to veg for temporary shelter. Only in her late 20s when I met her, I could still recall how shocked she looked when I approached her. I hadn't expected much and prepared to leave to save myself the humiliation when she stopped me with my belongings. She offered me a place in her apartment, stating that I didn'

EvaThat was…Unexpected.When I came here, I hadn't expected him to say those words. But he had apologized and was finally agreeing. The last part still screamed of arrogance and reluctance, and he didn't seem too pleased to say those words, but he had said them anyway.Looking over him and the slightly bitter look he had, my heart gave a thump. Even though he was already done, he looked like he wanted to say something more but was waiting for my assent.That was new and…interesting to say the least. I trailed across the room, taking the first seat at the head of the table before facing him again.“Continue.” I said while he continued standing. “Despite our…history, my company needs this partnership to work. I'm not going to jeopardize that. Only for the sake of my company.”‘Like you almost didn't do that just a few days ago.’ The quip came to my head bitterly but I held my tongue.His admission was reluctant, but it was better than nothing. “Okay then.”“I have a few terms to add

Eva“I guess you didn't listen when I told you to lay off and relax.” Penelope's voice came out deadpan through the speaker.I groaned at her chastising tone, shaking my head as I looked at the phone on my dressing table.“Everything has been good Penelope, I'm serious.” I pressed on, to try convincing her while carefully running hair gel through my curls.“I’ll only believe it when I see it Eva, and I'm not in the country so you've gotten my answer.” Penelope replied, making me groan loudly while fighting a smile. She was always worrying for my sake. Without a large age gap, she treated me more like a mother to a daughter, or at least a really fun aunt that one would see in movies.Surprisingly enough, I wasn't lying or exaggerating. Things HAD been going well for me.Viktor had kept to his word and surprisingly worked well. The extent of our cordial relationship lasted only within the company however and dissipated immediately after I left. I didn't care what he did aside from withi

EvaShock rang over me in waves as her words rang through my mind. I could feel some people's eyes on mine but I couldn't care less. “Eva?”His voice snapped me back. Looking up I meet Viktor's eyes on mine. The concern clear on his face grounded me a little.Blinking frantically, I shook my head, trying to process.“Can you repeat that?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.“I've been arrested.”Julienne repeated through the line and my grip tightened . She didn't sound bothered, her voice completely neutral and dare I say, emotionless. But I knew better.The moment we became friends we'd opened up to each other. She constantly kept her exterior tough out of survival but I knew better than anyone how vulnerable one could be. She was already happy going through college what the hell could have changed?After a few more seconds of silence, a sound I recognized as a sigh came through.“Technically it's not really an arrest. It's the college security that detained me and now I neede

Eva“I'm sorry love, I have to stay here longer.” Jon's voice rang through the phone. “What do you mean? You promised the kids you'd be back for the festival,” I tried to keep my tone neutral even as irritation sprang through me.“I know. Something came up that's really important. I'll make it up to them, I promise.”My jaw clenched in response. “Jonathan, it's been a month. Nearly two since they've seen you.” I said as carefully as I could, yet it was hard to keep my frustrations away from the phone.He sighed, sounding exasperated, like he was the one frustrated.“What do you want me to tell you Eva?” he asked and I snapped.“I want answers!” My voice rose and I shut my eyes instantly to calm down. Once I reeled myself in I spoke again.“Everytime I asked, you constantly told me it was ‘okay’ yet you do this. You've constantly been out of the city doing Goodness knows what. What the hell is wrong with you?”“Nothing's wrong. I just need to work out some things.”“Things that you h

Viktor It took me a few more seconds to process it wasn't her room but ours, or what once used to be. The same room I hadn't touched in months.“It had been six years since I entered, yet the place looked how I remembered. Not a thing out of place,” she said, shaking her head,She took a step closer towards me and close up I saw the walls shift down, the neutral look replaced with something sadder that made my heart clench.“Seeing it made me realize something. I thought I was doing the best I could, keeping my distance. I was still holding you to the past. I thought I'd let go, but when it came to the kids. It reared its head the moment you found out about them." She continued “I’d forgiven but not fully. I was afraid to face that part of myself until last night in the same way I was afraid to face the present you. Even though I knew that you'd changed, a part of me was still holding you to those days wondering if you were going to do something else.”Those last words were like a p

Viktor Hell. That's where I felt like I was right now.I groaned against the blinding lights. Pain hammered through my head. I'd forgotten how bad times like this could be. As I sat up, my memories began to flood back.After leaving her home I had gone to the penthouse. I didn't even know how it started. First it was one drink without hesitation and then another and another until my mind became a blurry haze. Yet I could still recall why it started. I shut my eyes tightly for a different reason altogether. The last sight of Anthea, my daughter, choking because of the candy i bought her. Cory's scream and Eva's green eyes, wild with panic.“Get out.”Eva's words echoed in my mind.The familiar self-loathing and guilt washed over me, threatening to drown me under. Things were getting better, but like always I had ruined everything. Just like that I'd backslid, months of progress gone under the bottom of a bottle.‘Pathenic’ I scoffed to myself.A flash of a hazy memory stopped me in

EvaThe scent of antiseptic stung my nose as I waited in the hospital lobby.Penelope’s presence helped. She had come in a few moments ago, even while I was spaced out with Cory on my lap. The moment she hugged me, I couldn't stop myself from breaking down again.“Everything’s going to be okay.” She whispered to me. I closed my eyes in response. Goodness knew I wished I could believe it.I didn’t know what to feel. We had gotten her there in time, but I still couldn't get my mind off it. It was just like the second time that this happened. I was on my own, alone, scared.“Miss Greene?” The voice made me look up instantly to find the doctor there. All thoughts slipped by as I stood up carefully.“Doctor? How is my-”“Your daughter is fine,” he said, “you brought her in early so it was just a mild allergic reaction she suffered. She's still asleep but when she wakes up she'll be fully ready to discharge.”A sigh of relief left me instantly. She was fine. My baby was fine.Cory was sti

ONE MONTH LATEREva“When are you coming back?” I asked, rifling through clothes as frustration brewed up in me.“Soon.” Jon’s voice rang through terse and neutral. It made my brows furrow.“So, in a week? Cory and Anthea miss you.” I said, trying to ignore the coldness in his tone.“I…Eva I don’t know yet.” His words gave me whiplash, making me flinch.“Okay.” I said.Frustration brewed inside me but I kept silent.The moment the call ended I dropped the phone like a dead weight, clenching and unclenching my arms for control. What the hell? This wasn’t the first time, at least not within this month.After telling him of my decision to include Viktor and Grace into the children’s lives the day I'd made the decision, he was completely supportive. I still sensed displeasure, however no matter how much I tried to assure him, he said that it was fine. Although he was never present while Viktor and Grace were around, he still looked well.It happened so gradually. At first he wasn’t pr

Eva I was completely frozen under the scrutiny of my best friend’s stare as she flickered between us. Even if he wasn't touching me like before, his closeness was suspicious enough. For a moment everything was still…until the moment the twins slipped out beside her. “Mom!” they chorused and my gaze shifted to their innocent smiles. Without he's they rushed to greet me and I pushed my panic away, forcing a smile. “Hey, babies. Did you enjoy your time at Aunt Penelope?” I hugged them, ruffling their hair to make them giggle and nod in agreement. Looking back up to face Penelope felt sheepish. Her expression said plenty, a mix of disbelief and recognition. I could hear her unsaid words without thinking. I tried to pass a pleading one of my own to tell her that I'd explain after this. “Mom?” I tore my eyes away to meet Anthea’s stare but she wasn't looking at me but behind me, no doubt at Viktor. ‘Oh,’ I quickly stood up, looking at him before turning back to the chil

82EvaThe doorbell rang. I was ready, sucking in a breath before standing up.I tampered down any impulse to clean aside anything within the room more than necessary despite the urge to hide it away. He needed to see the reality of their natural environment.Passing by the strewn toys I left alone made me think back to Cory and Anthea.A swift call from them moved the sleepover Penelope spent with them to them staying with her for the entire day while I sorted things out. It was already evening and they were still with her. Considering it was evening she was no doubt also on her way to my home.She wasn't the one standing by the door at the moment however.I forced myself to relax before opening the door, his cerulean eyes meeting mine immediately.“Hi,” Viktor said.The air felt awkward yet I let him slip inside, murmuring a greeting before stepping back. He looked overwhelmed as he looked around and I couldn't blame him when I was the same way.If it wasn't for what happened earli

EvaI worked up to darkness and dim lighting engulfing me. My eyes felt heavy and my body ached but the smell of food woke me up further.It didn't take long for the past memories and pain to seep in. Swallowing hoarsely, I nearly broke down in tears again until“You're awake,”Jon's voice jolted me. I looked up to find him moving towards me, a plate in his hand along with the familiar aroma of pasta.Sitting up, I tried to smile when he reached. “Are you okay now?” He asked,“Yeah,” I nodded my voice hoarse from unuse.After crying for so long, I didn't know when I just…passed out. But looking around I was sure that a few hours had passed.I should have considered it a relief compared to holding it in, but looking at him only made more guilt swell into me.“I shouldn't have…I'm sorry for coming here unannounced.” I shifted uncomfortably. “It's okay.” Was all he said.“I'm sorry,” my voice cracked as I spoke. Even still I shouldn't have to use him as a crutch.“What happened? Or is
