Betrayed Love: Stuck Between the Billionaires Chapter 52 (End of Part 1)
Eva“Well, this is a sight.” Julienne commented. Despite the snark in her tone, she looked lighter. Not the heavy laden person I saw in her apartment before.If it had been anybody else Jon's statement would have crumbled to the ground. Finding her in the empty space rather than some member of the press brought relief. The tension in my shoulders relaxed as I let out a breath. I felt warm skin brush across my arm, making me turn to the culprit. Jonathan looked towards her and back to me.“I'll be in the garage.” He whispered, before slipping away, leaving me alone with her.I remained still as she continued towards me. I hadn't even noticed when she'd slipped away from the podium, likely when I was at the last wrap of my speech. It didn't change the fact that I was thankful for her.“Thank you for everything.” I said when she was near enough. I let my genuineness show through my tone. She had helped me momentously.“It was justified on both our parts, and for all the other victims.” S

Viktor Sharp ringing filled my ears amongst the uproar around me. Before I could hear them clearly, but now the noises felt like nothing amidst the rushing through me, dulling any other sods.A part of me could still predict what they were saying. I was still conscious enough to remember the last words said by Jonathan Salvador himself, declaring our partnership broken, the press’ uproar at the news that seemed like the final nail in our coffin, but at this moment I could care less.My gaze was focused on that empty spot where she'd stood, staring bravely at the crowd as she revealed everything I didn't know. Her last words rang in my mind.Eva. The woman I loathed. And for what?“This wasn't revenge,”“Now I can live in peace.”Her words echoed in my mind. The final look on her face aimed at me. In them I saw something akin to pity or apology. Something that felt like a final goodbye. Staring at her, in the face of everything, made my throat tighten. A sharp noise tore my attention

Viktor THREE DAYS LATER My mind had been in a haze for the past two days, starting from that day after I returned to an empty house. I locked myself in my room, reeling from the betrayal and everything. It didn't take long to grab the forgotten bottle of whiskey and in no time I let myself drown.I could have sworn I'd heard voices, Brienne's voice in particular alongside banging outside my door followed by shouting and words I couldn't process. It all became lost to the darkness eventually.The next day my drinks were completely empty and I refused to take another sip to drown into oblivion. I let the pain both from the hangover and the weight of everything but me.‘You deserve it.' echoed in my mind throughout.I kept my door locked. My phone must have died somewhere within the room, but I couldn't care less. I remained on the bed, ignoring the knocks on my door. I didn't even bother keeping my eyes open reminiscing every single time.‘When did it go wrong?’Memories kept me aslee

Viktor “You're too damn cowardly to open the door? See what you've done to us. To our family? You freaking fool.” His muffled voice was slurring, slow as he banged against my door. It told me all I needed to know about his drunk state. “All would've been well if you'd dealt with that…girl a long time ago. Now she and that bastard destroyed our company. Our reputation.” The girl in question was Eva. For the first time in the past two days I felt something else apart from hollow emptiness and self loathing. Heat swirled in my belly. None of this was her fault, but of course he was looking for the nearest person to blame, like the coward he was. “I should have never put you in charge.” he groused and it took everything in me to not run over to punch him. ‘Like you were doing any better?’ I wanted to retort. He was a horrible CEO, embezzling the money that we had. It was why I had to take over as soon as possible almost immediately after I was done with college, in workload e

Viktor She still and perhaps would always blame me for what I did, even though she would never hate me. I couldn't blame her. It was my decision to sink into drinking, breaking her heart by acting like the man I loathed. It was my decision to go against her, surrounding myself with a rapist and a conniving woman and pushing her away. That could never change. Yet she still let me hold her like I was a decade younger. It had to count for something. Hope that someday I could get her forgiveness in some way, whether it took months or even years down the line to forgive my actions, it was a price I was willing to pay. The same couldn't be said for Eva. I was a bastard to even consider doing so. How could I dare to beg for forgiveness after all I'd said and done? The names I've called her, the way I'd taken part in nearly humiliating her. How I'd thrown her out with only the clothes on her back. How I stood proudly beside the man who tried to assault her. A wave of nausea came t

Viktor FLASHBACK: SIX YEARS AGO ‘Viktor, I need to talk to you. It's about Joff.’I frowned as I reread Brienne's message over and over again. This had to be a joke…right?Why would she need to talk to me about him? Hell, why would she so much ass mention him? From the moment I heard what he'd done, I'd renounced him as my friend. I couldn't handle hearing his name, much less being around that bastard after what he'd tried to do to my girl.The memory of Eva's breakdown was still too vivid in my mind. After months of her sudden distance I'd grown frustrated with her actions. I was prepared for anything else, but not what she'd said.Geoffrey…he of all people tried to-I couldn't even say it in my mind. The thought alone revolted me but more than that was the aching pain from Eva's tears as she sobbed.She had been holding back the secret as some form of twisted self sacrifice. I knew it even before she said it. I’d already set her straight on that notion weeks ago. Why on earth woul

WARNING: IMPLIED DUBIOUS CONSENTViktor ONE MONTH LATER‘Just this once.’I stumbled across the room completely wasted. My mind was in a daze but it didn't matter to me.Looking around, the room felt cold. I had been a stranger to this place for the past few weeks, barely staying to bathe and dress up before leaving again. I didn't want to see her face or speak to her.Yet my traitorous heart had brought me back here, to our home. ‘More like her home’ I scoffed bitterly. Despite trying to resist it I needed to see her.Every time she looked at me with those saddened puppy-like eyes that made my guilt waver, but I always avoided her. Maybe it would be less painful if she stopped acting innocent.She must be happier now without worrying about me to keep an eye on her. Now she could cheat and go out with multiple men as she could.Did she bring some of them home? I'd asked the guards around the penthouse to keep an eye on her yet every time she came alone. There wasn't a trace of her

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
