Betrayed Love: Stuck Between the Billionaires Chapter 8
EvaI blinked in confusion for the first time since entering. What on earth did he mean by that? So taken aback I almost didn't notice him coming closer until the ghost of wine reached my nose. I stiffened immedeatelu I found him several inches away from me.“I don't believe you came here just for that. Maybe you want … something else? Did you come here to see me?” I was frozen in shock as he leaned closer but his seductive insinuations were clear. Heat rose to my cheeks.His eyes roved over me suddenly beforeHe thought I came here for…dear god!My reflexes finally acted up and I pushed him away where he quickly regained his balance.“You disgust me.” I sneered, pushing him away. He let out a laugh.“Too bad. You're the last person I ever want to sleep with anyways.” He said while laughing, anger rise up in my gut.“Eva?” I turned at the sound of Grace's voice behind me distant. I turned around just to see Grace coming out into the living room with another tray. Her face fell the

WARNING: Threats of Rape and Violence ...EvaMy heart hammered in trepidation as I stared up at the man I never wanted to see again. My stomach turned and coiled inside me.Anyone but him.Geoffrey Wells.A man who was once my friend, meeting him in Viktor's small circle of friends. He, along with Brienne were once my friends as his closest mates. He was the last son out of three children in the Wells Family company. He was the first to help me feel at ease when I was new, intimidated by their trio. Lighthearted, flamboyant and a jokester, he always made everyone around him laugh with his witty jokes and lighthearted nature. His other flaws didn't matter to me. I trusted him as a friend, the brother I never had.Until he had assaulted me…or attempted to.Why was he here? He shouldn't be here.I looked back and met Brienne’s wide smile, like the cat that got the cream.Horror filled me as I realized who the ‘Surprise guest’ was. I was stricken, but more than that was another deeper e

EvaPresent dayI shivered and shut my eyes tightly at the reminder. Even through these years, the memories dulled but never faded.I remembered what happened after. I remembered shaking as I quickly locked my door before collapsing on the ground in tears. I was afraid but most of all, heartbroken. To think that he never saw me as a friend, called me a whore and tried to assault me…His words were burned into my mind from that moment on. My world and perception of him was completely changed.It took time before I revealed the truth to Brienne and Viktor. He was especially close to Viktor and the next time I saw him he acted the same way as before, all bright and extravagant and friendly as if that night had never happened. I was stricken at the change until he looked at me after and the wild mocking gleam in his eyes reemerged. I was afraid and disgusted with being near him, but I couldn't find it in myself to tell Viktor anything when he was his closest friend and the one that he'd k

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

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

EvaI tensed hearing his name from her mouth. Penelope sighed beside me.In the past, she hadn't done so much as blink an eye when I told her my past and who my ex lover was despite him being a literal billionaire from one of the wealthiest families. While many others would have found a way to take advantage of the information, she hadn't even bothered mentioning it after I told her except when she wanted to curse him out. It was rare to see someone like that. It was one of the oddest things that made me question her in the past but that was just the way she was. Grounded. The money glitz and glamor didn't seem to affect her. I was grateful for it.“Julienne, let's change the topic.” she offered while Julienne remained feel “B-but..”“Yes. He is.” I cut her off, giving Penelope an assuring glance that made her relax in her seat. Switching my gaze to the brunette, I saw that her face turned slack.I expected the shock, but I I hadn't expected her face to turn stormy. “So when he che

Eva “Stop,” I spoke through the silent room as I paced, as if it would help. Spoiler alert: it didn't. In the end, settling on the couch was the only reprieve for my tired legs. I shut my eyes, digging my fingers into the side of my head as frustration brewed in me Why? Why couldn't I stop thinking about him? It was already Friday, four days since I confronted Viktor. Normally I was able to brush up any upsetting thing with a layer of professionalism as I did in the past or simply block it out, get for some reason that day and his words remained stuck in my mind. I couldn't stop thinking back to him, his face and his words. And worst of all, it was making more guilt settle in me for rejecting him and his desire to see the children. Which was insane…right? My hardy words that day still rang true, yet a stabbing feeling came to my gut as I recalled how his face fell. His sincere expression. I was doing the right thing by keeping him away yet my conscience was telling me
Betrayed Love: Stuck Between the Billionaires Chapter 73
Eva I couldn't hide my restlessness for the rest of the day. My mind was going haywire. If not for Lucy constantly keeping me in check I was sure I would have been a spaced out mess. Every action I took felt more automatic than conscious. Thanks to a text I received I knew that Jon wasn't coming back till evening. I couldn't wait to get home. The moment it was nearing closing time I stormed out, grabbing my bag and keys to leave. I told myself to wait three days until things cooled down, but Victor's appearance changed everything. I had to tell Jon, tonight. “Mommy!” Cory squealed, jumping up to hug me. I caught his embrace, putting on a smile. How ironic it was that I'd just spoken about them a few hours before. Their signature green eyes haunted me. “Were you two good?” I teased lightly after separating from them, forcing those thoughts away. ”We’ve never been bad!” Anthea cried out while Cory pouted. I stifled a laugh. “Alright. Let's go.” I foisted them I to the
