Betraying The Heartless Billionaire Chapter Twenty-Six
GYPSY'S POVThe fork I'm using together with the last bite of my food slips from my hand, falling on my plate with a loud clank."Gypsy? What's wrong? Are you okay? Don't you like the food? Gypsy? "I can hear Enzo calling out for me, but I can't bring myself to reply. Air is rushing out of my lungs. I feel suffocated. I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack. I blink.The man I'd once looked at like a father, the man who'd broken my trust and taken my innocence from me, the father of Zeke. Is it really him?"Gypsy hey! Gypsy, look at me! " Strong arms grab me by the shoulders, shaking me violently, and it seems to snap me out of whatever trance I was in."Enzo," I whimper.Memories of that day streak through my mind; the helplessness I felt as I was abused."What happened, princess? Say something. ""Un... Patrick." I clutch my hand on Enzo's, my voice shaking."Patrick,” Enzo frowns. “Who's Uncle Patrick? "I look at Zeke, who's looking back at me with worry. I certainly can't t

AUTHOR'S POVGypsy lay still, very still. Her mind reeled with a combination of so much shock, disappointment, and anger that she didn't even know the core emotion.Gianna.Was that it? All this while, every time they had a passionate moment, was Enzo always thinking of Gianna? Imagining that she was his dead wife? Her heart sinking, she braced her palm against Enzo's chest and tried to nudge him away, her mouth no longer responding to Enzo's.It took him some seconds to register her sudden resistance. With his hand on the sand, he lifted himself off her a bit to look at her face. Her emotions must've been obvious because his brows creased in alarm.“Princess, what's wrong? What happened?”“Get off me, Enzo.” She gritted out, more out of misery than anger.“Hey?” He tried to cup her cheek but she turned her head before his palm could touch her. “What did I do? Gypsy, I thought you were enjoying this as much as I was. What did I do?”“You... You called me Gianna.” Her heart squeezed a

Minutes after Gypsy had walked away, Enzo sat still on the sand. At the same spot where he had committed the stupidest mistake he could've made in that situation.Fuck, he'd said Gianna's name while kissing Gypsy. Why? How?He hadn't even realized he'd said it. It was like his subconsciousness had pushed the name out without his consent. His gut twisted as he remembered the look on Gypsy's face. He'd fucked up. He'd hurt her.Such a horrible end to a day that was supposed to be so perfect."Uncle Enzo. Uncle Enzo!" Zeke's giddy voice boomed through his head before the boy stepped in front of him."I wanna go into the water!""Sure." Enzo told him noncommittally."Okay. Let's go then."It was then Enzo realized the boy probably couldn't swim alone in the ocean, but at that moment, swimming was the last thing on his mind."No Zeke.""Oh please, Uncle Enzo. Let's go! Let's go!" The boy reached for his hand and tried to 'drag' him up.Enzo wanted to snap that he wasn't in the mood but a

GYPSY'S POVI stare at Enzo, completely dumbfounded. I blink several times, words getting stuck in my throat. Is he really serious?"You don't need to give me an answer right away, princessa. You're not even obliged to agree. He said this was the best course of action but he didn't say other options wouldn't work. We can go with the other options.” Enzo explains in a rush.I still continue to stare at him, dumbfounded. He sighs and cups my cheek in his hand, causing a shiver to run through me.“We're doing this for Zeke, Gypsy. Our marriage doesn't have to mean anything.” Enzo says. ”It'll just be a contract that can help you secure the custody of your son, and we can get divorced right after. But like I said, it isn't necessary. We'll go with whatever you decide.”He hesitantly puts his arm around me and pulls me closer. I let out a shaky breath, leaning in to his touch."Take all the time you need to think about it yeah?" He whispers and I can only nod, my throat feeling so dry from

GYPSY'S POV"What?""I said I'm ready to get married." I repeat. Enzo stops wiping his face and stares at me in shockWhen he recovers, he shakes his head. "Look princess, you don't have to take this decision in a rush.”I place my finger on his lip, shushing him. "I'm not in a rush, Enzo. I've thought things through and I've come to the conclusion that I want to be your wife. Make me yours, Enzo"He cusses loudly, running a hand through his hair, closing his eyes like he's in pain. And then he moves to sit on the bench.I follow. When he opens his eyes a moment later, they are clouded with desire."Fuck, princess. Don't say things like that. It drives me crazy.”I bite my lip, realization dawning on me at my own words. I look up when Enzo's hand rests on my chin, hus thumb releasing my bottom lip from between my teeth."I've missed you, Gypsy.""I've always been here.""Physically, yes, but your mind wasn't.” Enzo points out. I bite my lip, knowing very well that he's right. These p

ENZO'S POVAfter Gypsy walks out of my gym, I sink onto the bench, stunned by how much I've divulged to her.The only people who know about what Gianna did are Lena, my PA, and Dante.Speaking of which, it's been more than a week since Dante and I last spoke after the fiasco he pulled. I was expecting time to change his mind so that he'll come and apologize.But so far, nothing. Not even a text.Normally, I would've waited for him to call, but today, I feel like I don't have a choice.I'm about to take a very important step with Gypsy, and I need my best friend by my side.Getting up, I grab my phone from the couch and dial his number. It dials for a while before he finally picks up.For several seconds, silence reigns, the both of us waiting for the other to speak.“Hello.” I finally force myself to say.“Hey,” Dante says back, his voice very cool. “What's up?”Well, at least he's not shutting me down.I tell Dante everything about that bastard coming back into Gypsy's life and threa

Gypsy's POVI let out a deep sigh, rubbing my temple as we step out of Enzo's room. We've just finished speaking to Lena over the phone about the wedding plans. She's going to be our wedding planner, and it turns out we're getting married the day after tomorrow.Yes, in just two days.I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this. Everything seems to be moving so fast I'm unable to grasp anything.The first court hearing is on Friday, just four days from now and it's understandable that Enzo has to arrange for our wedding just tomorrow. He had said it wasn't going to be any church wedding or anything fancy.The only thing we need is a marriage certificate that certifies that we are husband and wife."Hey."I feel Enzo's arms pulling me to him. I let myself go willingly, resting my head on his chest as I feel a migraine coming on.All this is too much. I sigh.Enzo's hands slip into my hair and I relax almost immediately when he starts to massage my scalp and temple at intervals. I

ENZO'S POVI stare at myself in the mirror, adjusting my tie. I study myself. The last time I had taken my time to dress like this, was four years ago, the day I got married to Gianna.I thought such a day would never come again. In fact, I'd promised myself to avoid it. But here I am today. In a few hours, Gypsy is going to be my wife. We're getting married.I know that this is not a real marriage. We're just getting married to help her maintain custody of her son. She'll probably want a divorce as soon as the custody is confirmed.Buy why am I feeling so excited about the wedding. Damn, Enzo."Uncle Enzo." A small voice calls and I turn. I'm met with the sight of Zeke wearing a tuxedo identical to mine. I must say he looks handsome."Yes?" I bend to his height. "Will there be cake?" He asks.I chuckle. "Yes Zeke. A big cake""Hmm" he bites his lips nervously just like his mother always does when she is nervous. I can tell he has more to say"Tell me Zeke. What do you want to say?"

A lump of nervousness rose up Gypsy's throat as she took in the betrayal burning in David's eyes. She swallowed it down, wondering what was going through his head.“Enzo was here.” She finally answered.David shook his head, his nostrils flaring. “And you let him stay? You even let him okay with Dawn!”“He showed up unexpected very early in the morning and he wouldn't leave. And Dawn was so happy with him I had no choice but to let him stay for a while." Gypsy explained, hoping he would understand.“For a while, huh?” David scoffed. “How long was he here for? Was that why you refused to pick my calls?”“No! Of course not.” Gypsy answered, getting desperate by the second. “I genuinely didn't even hear my phone ringing, I swear.”David barely nodded, suspicion holding his usually bright eyes. “And when did he leave.”“A few minutes ago.” An incredulous look took over David's expression. “He came here early in the morning and he just left a few minutes ago? You let him stay for hours, G

Enzo stared into the blue coldness of Gypsy's eyes, his heart thumping inside his chest. After what felt like forever but was merely seconds, the dark look in her eyes began to lighten. Nothing too bright, but it rescued his racing heart and filled his chest with a warm assurance that her resistance was gone or on the way to being annihilated.She didn't say anything as she looked away from him to carry the sauce pan off the stove, but her silence told him that she was willing to try, which was a win for him, especially when she looked at him and asked,“Will you join us for breakfast?”A thrill went through him, and Enzo had to remind his body not to react so foolishly. She was only doing this for their daughter's sake.Why else would she do it? A voice in his voice taunted. Enzo grimaced.Breakfast was awkward to say the least, mostly because while Enzo and their daughter conversed a lot, Gypsy only spoke when their daughter tried to involve her in the conversation which wasn't ver

Gypsy spent most of the night tossing in bed, her mind occupied with thoughts of Enzo and his determination to be part of her daughter's life. Just when she began to feel the arms of sleep around her, the incessant ringing of her doorbell drew her out of it sharply.Gypsy grimaced and remained firmly on her bed. Today was a Saturday which meant she didn't have to get up to get Dawn prepared for school so she was planning on sleeping in to make up for the hours of sleep she had lost. Whoever was ringing her bell at this ungodly hour? Maybe if she didn't respond, the person would get tired and leave.She closed her eyes, hoping the ringing would stop but if anything, it became more jarring.“Fuck!” Gypsy cursed, tossing the sheets off her body as she sat up in her bed.Looking at the time on her alarm, her eyes widened immediately when she saw the time. 6:34Am. Damn, she'd really wasted the night without catching a wink of sleep.The realization made her feel even more grouchy as she s

It felt like the whole world had gone into a coma but for them as Enzo slowly made his way towards Gypsy. Her pulse was racing, panic snapping through her veins like electricity through a high voltage wire.Enzo stopped in front of her. The coldness and the fury in his eyes seemed to snap Gypsy right into the realization that this was really reality and not just her imagination.Turning to look at David, she looked down at her daughter. "Darling, go with Uncle David into the car."Her daughter's eyes widened immediately in horror. "But mummy, daddy...""I said go with David, Dawn!" Gypsy snapped much more harshly than she'd intended to.She winced internally, instantly regretting her tone of voice when her daughter flinched. Gypsy had never spoken to her like that before. The little girl began crying as David carried her to the car while trying to soothe her."You shouldn't talk to her like that." The sound of Enzo's voice irked her greatly, and Gypsy spun around to face him. "You do

"You have a daughter." Enzo repeated, his eyes moving from Gypsy to Elice.Gypsy felt like her heart was going to fly out of her chest with how hard it was beating, and out of a pure reflex action, she grabbed the hand of her daughter and stepped out of the doorway, slamming the door shut.She leaned her back against the door, placing her hand on her chest as she tried to calm her racing heart. No! It couldn't be. She couldn't let Enzo know that he had a daughter."Are you okay, mummy?" Elice asked, her brows wrinkled in confusion. "Who is that man?""He's... He's..." The words stuck in her throat.What was she supposed to say? She definitely couldn't tell her daughter that Enzo was her father. Elice would otherwise insist on bringing Enzo into their lives."He's no one, sweety. He's no one." She pulled her daughter closer to her and hugged her, her breathing still coming out heavily.She half expected Enzo to bang on the door for her to open up, but nothing came. He'd obviously left.

The first thing Gypsy did after dropping her daughter off at school was to drive to David's company. She hadn't heard from him since he dropped her off at her house last night. Not that she expected him to call after she'd told him she needed some space last night.Luckily for her, she arrived at his office just in time because David was about to step out of his office when Gypsy got out of the elevator. He froze, his eyes widening with surprise as he stared at her.“Gypsy.” He said her name.“David.” She responded, stepping closer to him. “Why do you look so surprised to see me?”“You told me you needed some space last night and...” He trailed off, shaking his head.Gypsy winced internally. Had she been rude when she'd told him she wanted to be alone? Last night, her mind had been too disconcerted for her to really think about the things she'd said. Perhaps she'd said something that offended him.“Can we talk?” She asked, glancing over at David's secretary who was shooting daggers at

“Where's he?” Gianna Russo questioned the guard standing by the door.“He's in the pool, ma'am." the guard answered immediately, but stepped closer to Gianna, almost blocking her path. “But...”“But what?” Gianna demanded, tipping her head to the side.“Nothing, ma'am. Please go ahead.” The guard backed away, returning to his position.“Good." Gianna said with a satisfied smile as she turned and made her way towards the backyard where the pool was located.She came right to a halt. The man she was after was lounging by the pool, but he wasn't alone. He was with two women who were taking turns sucking his dick.Annoyance coursing through her, she stormed towards the trio. The man had his eyes close in pleasure so he didn't even notice her. On reach them, she grabbed the hairs of both women and wrenched them away from her man.“What the fuck?” Both of the women screamed as Gianna threw them to the floor.“Get the fuck out of here?" Gianna growled, glaring at the women.There must've be

“Gypsy.” Enzo whispered her name huskily.A jolt went up Gypsy's spine at the voice she hadn't heard in six years. And just like that, all the emotions came crashing back.“Oh, you two know each other already.” David chuckled awkwardly, turning his questioning gaze to her. “How do you know him?”But Gypsy wasn't listening; she barely even heard him. Her gaze was pinned on Enzo as the rush of emotions rolled through her.He didn't look very different from when she last saw him except for the slightly dark bags under his eyes. Yet that didn't mellow how handsome he looked in any way. His piercing green eyes that she could remember so well took her in with an equal amount of shock.Gypsy had always imagined what her reaction would be like if she had him in front of her again. Always it'd been indifference. But right now, the calvacade of emotions running through her was too turbulent for her to act indifferent.This was the same man who'd thought her what love was, who'd made her believe
