Betrayed Love: Stuck Between the Billionaires Chapter 35
Eva My breath hitched as he cut me off. Suddenly everything stopped, the rushing feeling in my ears stilling to nothing. “You…what?” I shook my head, unable to believe it. Was it just my imagination? He'd said…he believed me? I stood in place as he stepped towards me. “I believe you Eva. I've known you for the past six years haven't I?” He asked, taking another step closer. “I've seen how willing you are to put in the hard work. I've seen how you refused to ask for help, afraid and eager to prove yourself. I've seen your quick wut, how you adapt so quickly and grow, gain confidence and beat others in their game.” he said. As he spoke, I found nothing but sincerity in his eyes, a small smile written on his face. “I've seen tasks thrown your way, some of them I did myself and yet you proved yourself each and every time, making me fall for you with every win. I saw you overcome difficulties despite the scars in your hearts to get to where you are now.” Another step. He

EvaHalf an hour later, the entire apartment was dead silent. After resolving to tell him, we had moved from the floor to the couch of the living room. There I explained everything that went on in the past and what happened now. Viktor's infidelity, kicking me out and everything that happened while he'd traveled, leaving the deal to me.Almost everything. I couldn't bring up Viktors insults, threats and attempts to corner me. Not when I knew he wouldn't take it well. Now that all was said, I remained silent as I looked at him, waiting for him to finally speak. He sat in one place, the stillness in his body and face akin to that of a statue. Under the lights illuminating his sharp cheekbones and deep blue eyes, he almost looked like one. I couldn't focus too much on his appearance however with the anxiety swirling in me.He didn't look angry at all, his face neutral to the point that I couldn't identify any actual emotion. Goodness knew what he was thinking right now.The air seemed

Was it so out of reach to think she would do this to me? Definitely not.Yet there were still little doubts. Two weeks had passed. Two weeks without any trouble. I hadn't seen or neared her, letting go of any suspicions of the past. Why would she suddenly spring up and hurt me? Was it my suspicions of her that day that led her ? Was this planned? Did she do it alone?Was I thinking too much?“You need to sleep.” Jon said, his voice springing me out of my thoughts. I looked up as his hand cupped my cheek.“You've had a long day. You need to rest. Don't bother coming to work tomorrow and stay inside as much as you can. Log off all social media too. I don't want you getting hurt.”It all made sense. I nodded, savoring his kiss to my forehead. Panic slipped in as he pulled away from our embrace.He was leaving? I swallowed thickly.I knew it was necessary for him to actually follow his word and yet…Before he could stand up I stopped him, holding his wrist.“Don't leave. Not yet.” I rush

EvaI had to reread it three more times before it fully sank in. Pushing away my laptop, I tore my gaze to the nearest wall, completely stricken.‘What the hell?’ I rubbed my face lightly before looking back at the open monitor. Through the short distance I'd made, the text still remained the same and the feeling was more and more sinister every time I looked at it. I quickly averted my gaze, focusing on the nearest wall instead.Who sent this? It had to be a prank or a practical joke.Right?I fought the urge to look back at it. After a while I gave up and brought my laptop closer to me.There was no use keeping something like this. I should just delete it and get it over with. Clicking in the email again I reached out to the “”DELETE “ button. It was right there, shining like a beacon. Deleting it would be so easy.And yet, I stopped.The timing was too coincidental. No matter how much I wanted to write it off as nothing I couldn't. An anonymous email texting me about ‘truth’ afte

EvaMy heart hammered in my chest. There was no doubt about it that what they were saying was true.The lies no doubt had to do with those fake pictures on the news, but the past?Something in me clenched. I suspected that Brienne had something to do with this, the question was what exactly had she done?Shutting my eyes, all the thoughts culminated in a painful cacophony in my head.Viktor's voice. His proud glare and sneer six years ago.“Why are you acting so surprised? It's nothing you haven't done before.”The look he'd given me two weeks ago with his accusing glare.“Just like you did to me.”These pictures. Fake texts and pictures that were apparently dated back to while I was dating him. The contorted story on that news.Broke up with me for cheating…A sharp breath left me as I opened my eyes. It felt like I was drowning and finally reached the surface. My hands were shaking, but I moved forward to type.‘What do you know?’Desperation creeped up my senses. I thought I could

Eva The moment I heard the door shut behind me, I knew he was back. My gaze remained on the television as his footsteps approached before I felt a set of arms wrap around my shoulders. “Good evening my love,” he groaned against my neck, the slight vibrations mustered a smile from me despite my mood. “You don't sound like it,” I quipped lightly, noting his weary voice. He sounded even more worn than yesterday and I was sure he looked more than he felt. “You know me so well.” He huffed against my collarbone. The fact that he couldn't muster a flirtatious comment was proof enough of his exhaustion. “Enough about me. How was your day?” he asked, looking at me. I faltered instantly, but quickly recovered. After the visit I had, I was far from okay. The uncertainty of my talk with Julienne and the weight of what I knew but couldn't say was in me, and an unsettled anxiety remained in my gut. But I couldn't tell him anything about it. Forcing a smile before I turned to him, I

WARNING: Implied Sexual Assault. Brienne “Cheers!” The clinking of our glasses mixed in with the pulsating bass of the nightclub we were in. The noises from the people below us were drowned out thanks to our private room. I took another sip of my wine before leaning back, wrapping my free arm around Viktor. Seven of us were inside the VIP room for our own personal celebration.It was just like the good old days in college where we would go to parties to celebrate our wins. What could I say? Old habits died hard. I wasn't completely dumb about business. With my ‘counsel’ and Geoffery's encouragement, he'd set up the announcement closer than ever. It wouldn't make a difference either way, but it was a smart move. According to Viktor, Jonathan Salvador had agreed without a fuss. Why wouldn't he when his company was now at stake? With the coming announcement of their partnership with S.Corps, it was a win for Viktor. The company would get both the benefits of the partnershi

BrienneHer words were like icy water slipping into my veins. I whipped my head back to her, seeing her open face.She knew everything? How? My mind raced as I gauged what to say next.“I have no idea what you're talking about.” I bit out, trying to pretend.“Don't lie,” she bit back, “it's not that hard to tell. An anonymous tip? Really?”“There are only a few people who know that much information about my life and there's only one who has threatened me. You're the only person I know who could have done this.”‘What the…’ I stood stunned.Disbelief filled me as she glared. Everything she said was true, but none of it was any actual proof. Just her deductions.She didn't even mention HIM. “Is that all you know?” My tone was sarcastic but I internally gauged her, trying to hide my suspicion and fear.The slight hesitation on her face told me all I needed to know. She quickly raised her chin in a mask of confidence.“I need to hear it from you,” she said, “Viktor confirmed my suspicion

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

EvaI 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 children.“You…you re

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

Viktor The drive back to the mansion was silent with the tension so thick yet non-existent at the same time. I spied glances at her on the passenger’s seat throughout and every time, she was simply looking at the window, looking deceitfully calm. It sent a different trill of fear through me, especially when I knew she was anything but. After Eve left, she hadn't said a word since. I comforted her the best I could, letting her sob in my arms. Moments after her tears were gone, she hadn't saud a word. I was the one to suggest that we left and she silently nodded following me. The sight of her reddish eyelids despite the calm facade gutted me. Id never seen my mother that angry, that sad. And this time, it wasn't focused on me. My grip on the steering wheel tightened. If the feeling from seeing my mother cry hurt, then the ache was twice as bad when I saw Eva crumble right in front of me. In the few times I'd seen her, Eva had never failed to show her strength, even months ago when

EvaMy heart raced as I reached the door leading into the cafe.My words the day before were like a fever dream. It wasn't until hours later when night had fallen that doubts and panic of what I'd done began creeping in.It was still the weekend and Penelope had snatched the children away to play for the day. Jon had left to the penthouse leaving me wearing down the floor of my room alone.‘I should have waited a little longer. I wasn't prepared yet. Why did I say that?’ doubts filled my thoughts. I’d made that declaration still high on the feeling of reciprocation, to equal his determination. It was cowardly yet I was second guessing everything. ‘Maybe he hadn't told her. Maybe he would postpone it.’ All the possibilities that he wouldn't take me on my word reared its head and for a moment I nearly deluded myself into thinking that it wouldn't happen. The text I'd gotten twenty minutes after rid those thoughts away. ‘‘We’re on our way to the cafe.’’ he said.The ticking time I

Eva“Is he going to still keep us waiting?”“Jon,” my voice came out harsher than I expected, but it was rightfully so. Jon looked trite immediately. He looked away and set his jaw, making me deflate instantly. Out of all the words I could use to describe Jonathan, insufferable wasn't on the list yet it seemed that way now more than ever. I couldn't blame him for how he's been reacting though.It was my fault for making the decision so abruptly, especially when I had so confidently told him that I wouldn't let Viktor into their lives. Despite his attempt to be supportive he hadn't expected me to go through with it, hence his reaction now It had taken a day to come to terms with my decision and another day to muster up the courage to tell Jon. It took a few days more for us to talk about it.He was far from happy once I told him my decision but he'd accepted it, or claimed to at least. Despite his veiled irritation and his attempt to pick on things, he was still here for me. For all

Viktor “Did something happen?” My mother asked, her worried tone filtering through the phone. I smiled even if she couldn't see it, trying to muster.“Nothing bad happened mom. It's just some extra documents to sort out in the office. I'll be coming home later than normal is all.” I said. It wasn't necessarily a lie, yet it still sent a sliver of guilt to me that I would miss dinner with her. I didn't want any setbacks on the relationship we were rebuilding.The anxiety eased as she sighed,“Okay…” my mother trailed off, “Don't forget to eat.”“I won't,” I quickly assured her, “I love you mom.”Despite time and efforts bringing us closer I was still half expecting her to hesitate and not day it at all. It made it all the more relieving when she chuckled.“Love you too.” she said and the call ended. Putting my phone down I turned to the empty street from my office window. Only a few hours ago, I was recieving what felt like the best and worst news of my life.A part of me still couldn

EvaI entered the cafe booked for this meeting. It was a new place, unfamiliar to me unlike my regular spot with Penelope’s Cafe or the growing familiarity of the Greenhouse cafe. It was exactly what I wanted for this occasion.I needed a neutral spot, free from any influence to meet him. This time, we were on equal grounds.“Good day, what's your order?” The unfamiliar waitress smiled at me. I ordered a random pastry and some water to pass the time. I wasn't planning on staying for long.The noises around helped keep me calm but I kept on questioning if this was the right thing to do.‘We’ll see,’ I told myself.The door opened and this time I looked up to meet a familiar face..he was right on time.Viktor entered the cafe, looking around. I silently nodded the moment he spotted me, waiting with bated breath.Less than a few days ago I'd finally solved the conflict brewing in my mind with a single call to the RCF office. They recognized me and amidst my issues, forwarded my call to h
