Gabriel’s POV

I couldn’t believe what I was reading on my phone screen as Luke replied to me.

Does this guy even know what he’s doing at all? How can he claim that hotel rooms don’t have CCTV installed because it’s against privacy laws and could lead to lawsuits?

My heart raced, pounding with panic that made me shiver. My hands shook as I scrolled back through the message, rereading his words over and over again, hoping for some clarity, but none came. This is bad... This is really bad. I continued pacing around the room, glancing out the windows from time to time, hoping the sight of the street below would calm me, but it only made my anxiety worse.

I knew Luke had made a terrible mistake. I should have realised this moment was inevitable the second he’d started veering off-script. The plan was simple: get rid of Emmanuella like an accident, without a trace, and everything would be fine. But Luke had gone too far. Now, the police would be here any minute, and he’d just ruined my lif

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 59 Rebecca Read The News

    Rebecca’s POVI stepped out of my sleek black car, my heels clicking against the pavement as I adjusted the lapel of my tailored blazer. The meeting with the business executives had been exhausting, yet my mind refused to let go of darker, more pressing thoughts.The murders of Roy and Cassandra lingered heavily, clawing at my conscience like a relentless specter. Gabriel’s involvement was no longer a suspicion but a certainty, especially after Natasha provided the damning evidence.The cool night air brushed against my skin, but it did nothing to ease the fire of anger burning within me. Gabriel wasn’t just a liar and a cheat. He was a murderer, willing to send a hired killer to eliminate two innocent people—and then miraculously, I was framed for it.I entered my mansion, the soft glow of the chandelier above casting faint shadows on the marble floor. My phone buzzed in my bag, and I quickly fished it out.“Breaking News: Emmanuella Moretti Murdered in a Hotel Room!”My heart stoppe

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 60 Detective To Gabriel

    Gabriel’s POVIt didn’t matter how much turmoil was swirling within me. One thing was certain now—no action was being taken against me for Emmanuella’s murder.There was one thing prevalent in Mandena: as news of Emmanuella’s murder went viral across all platforms, the police would have already been banging on my door to arrest me if they found me guilty by their investigation.But since they hadn’t shown up all through the night, it only meant one thing—they weren’t coming for me. Luke had indeed done a great job, and I was not a suspect at all.I stood by the window in my bedroom this morning, watching the city view and admiring the new reality I have set for myself. Just then, I pulled out my phone once again and read the blog post from the anonymous writer for the fourth time.“There was no mention of my name in the blog post. Luke has really done a great job, just as he said he would,” I muttered as though I were reading it for the first time.Excitement wrapped around me like a

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 61 Police Arrived

    Gabriel’s POVI scattered everything on the table. I yelled at the wall, kicked it as if it were a person.“Fuck you, Luke!” I screamed, as if he could hear me loud and clear—or better to say, live and direct.His game was obvious to me now. He was willing to do the dirty job for me not because he was not new to something like this but because he saw an opportunity to keep blackmailing me for as long as he needed money!Wasn’t it just yesterday he came to me finalizing this job? Just yesterday I paid him his balance—a whopping $30,000! Where the fuck did it go?What the fuck did he buy with it that he needed more money between yesterday and this morning? Just this morning?My entire body was laced with beads of sweat, like morning dew clinging to blades of grass after a humid summer night.I clutched my phone in my hand like a lifesaver. If I was told that Luke would eventually decide to be a thorn in my flesh after this, I'd argue it.Immediately, I called him again. I was breathing f

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 62 The Deal

    Gabriel’s POV“Have I not gotten from frying pan to fire?” I thought to myself as the officer kept tapping his feet on the floor.He was serious with his demand, and he looked like he was going to collect the money before he left my home.“I don’t have money, officer. You sure know how my business has been doing woefully. I am going bankrupt. Please, I beg you,” I explained to him. But if he understood that, it was a lie.“You are going bankrupt, but you have the funds to hire a criminal to do a dirty job for you? Tell me I am stupid without telling me I am stupid!” The officer yelled.“My friend, transfer the money to this account now or get ready to go to jail!” He slammed a paper on the table, and I squinted my eyes at it to see what was in the paper.The writing on the paper was tiny, so I picked it up, knowing he slammed it on the table for me to see.Seeing the details in the paper, “This is not an account balance,” I muttered.“This is a crypto wallet address. Such that cannot

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 63 Gabriel Thought About Rebecca

    Gabriel’s POVI paced around the living room, my hands clasped to my jaw like a man cornered by fate. Today had been a relentless storm. First, the journalist. Then, the officer. And now Luke, demanding money with the threat of blackmail.I ran a hand through my disheveled hair, trying to piece together a way out of this chaos, but my mind was a barren desert. No solutions. No hope. Only the echoes of my mistakes coming back to haunt me.Suddenly, a thought hit me like a desperate man’s prayer. “Rebecca seems to be my only hope,” I muttered.It was a slim hope, barely enough to cling to, especially since I was the one who betrayed her. I had crossed too many lines—blocking her number, ignoring her attempts to reach me—all because of Emmanuella’s threats. And now, Rebecca held the key to my undoing. The officer’s rant earlier replayed in my head like a haunting melody.“She’s the one who gave the officer the evidence,” I murmured, pacing faster. “She knows I’m behind the murders. She k

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 64 Gabriel’s Next Move 

    Gabriel’s PovI got back home and I was sweating like a runner. It did not matter if it was night, I sweat profusely as if I had just finished a relay race in the hot afternoon.My heart was pounding. Rebecca’s words to me were heavy and shocking. She knew about everything I did after I cheated on her. She also knew about me hiring Luke for the dirty job.I paced around the sitting room, I knew what I wanted to do now. But I was skeptical if this would not mar me in the end.But it was better to focus on the moment than the later, so, I picked up my phone again and called Luke.“Hello,” I sounded to him, and hearing my voice, he just chuckled.“Let me guess, Gabriel,” he sounded mockingly, “You need my help, huh?” he said.“Shamefully yes!” I answered, and with this, he chuckled darkly again.“I know!” he said.“I could tell from your panicking voice. Tell me, who do I need to take out this time?”I breathed heavily as I heard him. This was Rebecca, who I thought would improve my life

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 65 There is no CCTV 

    Luke’s POVThe bullet hit the motherfucker in the back, and I saw how he paused in his steps when the bullet hit him.This was the back of the club. There was no CCTV, no surveillance of anything. There were so many crimes committed here, and people always got away with the crime.With this, I knew my own would not be different.Kingsley clutched his hand to his stomach. The bullet penetrated him and made him feel like he could stop the bleeding while he staggered back, and blood was spilling from his mouth.He was also finding it hard to breathe. He fell to the ground now, gulping down his mouth from his mouth as he was struggling with his life.Just then, I walked to his front to let him know who shot him before he finally died.“Don’t mess with me ever again, Kingsley,” I said.“Now go to hell!” I shot him in the head the second time.Staring at the hole in his head for a few seconds, I spat on him as his disgusting face irritated me.Just then, I wore my leather hand gloves, which

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 66 Rebecca Went To See a Judge

    Rebecca’s POVThe morning came like a visitor that did not want to come. And hence, I was perfectly dressed for the intention I have at heart.Having waited for days and that I saw that no effort had been made by the police to arrest Gabriel, I resolved to take another step.But even before that, “Some of the police could be corrupted. So, we have to be careful of whom we reported to,” Natasha had said to me after seeing how the police had gone silent after we reported Gabriel to them and even provided them with evidence.Stepping out of my mansion, I saw that my high-alert security were active and, with this, I got into the Benz my chauffeur had opened the door for me, and we drove out of my mansion in my convoy.Arriving at the law firm, I approached an attorney, Abel, in his office after I had made sure Natasha had fixed up an appointment with him.“Welcome, Ms. Harrington. I have been expecting you.” Attorney Abel gestured his hand forward to the chair at the front of his desk.The

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 126 The Ask 

    Cassian’s POV Immediately our lips touched, and that I saw her lean back like we had done something we shouldn’t out of the blue, out of the emotions that poured out of our discussion, I felt a wave of uncertainty. “I am sorry,” I quickly said. I didn’t want to lose her. Even when I wanted to pursue a relationship with her, I wanted it to start up slowly, making sure she fully accepted me before I properly asked her out so that I wouldn’t receive the same "No" of an answer I got back in college. “It’s okay,” she said the instant I apologized. Then I saw her hold my hands again. She looked at my lips and leaned slowly closer. “The truth is,” she whispered as she was coming closer, “We would have been a perfect match,” she said in a whisper. Hence, she kissed me right on the lips. This was like a prayer answered for me. It was like I had just hit a jackpot. And how could the most beautiful woman on earth kiss me and I wouldn’t kiss her in return? I kissed her back, burying my han

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 125 At The Ice Cream 

    Rebecca’s POV Cassian just asked me the question that sent me back to my past. The question rang a bell. I didn’t know why it did, but it did anyway.Could it be because the question was asked by someone whom I rejected because of this very Gabriel?It shot me to the day we had our wedding—how we read our vows and promised each other never to be separated until death did us part.This same question shot me to our wedding night—how we had made love and kissed each other until morning.The memories clung to me, but I forced myself back to the present. I blinked, shaking off the thoughts.“I don’t want to talk about it, please,” I said to him, and I saw the way he nodded his head gently.He looked as if he understood where my pain was coming from, as if he could relate so well—so well that it meant he had also gone through the same fate.I felt somehow that I rejected him an explanation for his harmless question, especially because he understood it just as much as I wanted to avoid it.

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 124 Told The Story  

    Cassian’s POV I walked into the classroom in the hope of teaching my newly admitted student and going back out of there just the way I have always done in the past. Lecturing was fun, yeah right? But at the same time, it was tiring. And most tiring when you have to teach three classes in a day.I heaved out a sigh as I walked through the class entrance door. Then I lifted my head, gazing to the front of the class, the podium, and all of the students' heads. As I was moving my gaze back onto my feet, my eyes stopped as they landed on this particular lady’s head, or should I say hair? The hair color, the crispness to which the head stood on the neck, the way the gentle, beautiful fingers touched gently on her cheeks like the beautiful princess of Persia—it all reminded me of one lady. Rebecca.Back in college, she was everything I wanted to be with. And why this? Her gentle voice when she talked, her beautiful, attractive physique, the way her waist moved when she walked like she was t

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 123 Who is Cassian Valtieri?  

    Rebecca’s POVCassian was a man I met back in college. He was the top boy whom all the ladies on campus wanted back then—except me, because, of course, I was with Gabriel. He was fucking handsome, and girls flocked around him every now and then, wanting to be his girl. But how ironic—he didn’t want any of them. He only wanted me.We weren’t in the same department back then, but that didn’t stop him. He would come from his department, which was the Department of Project Management, just to watch us and stare at me from a distance. It was something I noticed often, but I never truly acknowledged it until he finally expressed his feelings for me.Back then, I loved Gabriel too much to even consider anyone else. When Cassian confessed, I told him I was with someone else and that it couldn’t work between us. And being a man who valued his self-respect, he backed off. He stopped talking to me ever since, merely waving from afar anytime we crossed paths.At first, I felt offended by his sudd

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 122 The New Chapter 

    Rebecca’s POVIt’s been three months since Micah’s sentencing, yet the knowledge still feels fresh, as if the verdict was just announced yesterday. Michel has also been struggling with PTSD. Anytime she is in the kitchen and hears one of the male employees enter—whether to pick something up or deliver a message—she immediately tenses. Her first reaction is always to grab a knife, pointing it instinctively at whoever stands before her.No one blames her. We all understand that healing takes time. According to the doctor, this is the moment when she needs the most support, and I’m determined to be there for her every step of the way.Despite everything, life moves forward. This morning, I decided to arrive at my first lecture early, feeling a sense of renewal as I embarked on this next chapter.A month ago, I applied to further my studies. I realized that returning to school would not only help me heal but also increase my value. In a world dominated by men, I understood that as one of

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 121 Attorney Langford Spoke About History

    Micah’s POVWhen Attorney Langford was asked if he had evidence to support his claims, my heart raced even further.Attorney Langford was actually making a lot of sense, enough to prompt the judge into giving me a lesser punishment. But now that she had asked for evidence? I knew Attorney Langford was all mouth and no proof, yet he should have known that words alone wouldn’t work in court—especially not in the Supreme Court of Mandena.I turned to look at Attorney Langford. At the mention of providing evidence, sweat broke out on his forehead. He was clearly trapped. Across from him, Attorney David smirked, and when I passed my gaze toward Rebecca, she smirked too. But she wasn’t even looking at me.It was evident that Attorney Langford had walked straight into a dead end on this case.“Huh… humm…” he stammered, attempting to form a response regarding the evidence.Right there, I dropped my gaze to the floor inside the dock. My hands were trembling now. I could practically see myself

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 120 Hearing of The Case 

    Judge Hilar’s POV“Who is representing the defendant?” Judge Lisa asked as she took her seat. Just then, the courtroom door barged open, and Attorney Victor Langford stepped in.Every attorney in the city knew who Langford was. He was an opportunist attorney, the kind who seized cases others wouldn’t touch. No one hired him because they believed he was too young and inexperienced to handle or win any case. So, he made himself available for any defendant who had no legal representation.If he won, he would demand his payment later. But unfortunately, he was a lawyer who kept proving the public right. He had never won a case since he was called to the bar.My heart froze the moment I saw him enter the courtroom. If by “defendant” attorney, it meant he was the one who would represent me too, then Micah and I were doomed. My pulse quickened at the thought.“My name is Victor Langford, representing the defendant.” I watched as Langford rose to his feet and bowed to the judge, introducing

    **Micah’s POV** It didn’t matter how long I waited for the head of the community service to arrive so that I could complete my service for the day and ensure I wouldn’t land in trouble with the government—he never came. Hours passed, yet there was no sign of him. Frustration gnawed at me, but knowing full well that I couldn’t leave the house, I stayed put and waited until the next morning, hoping for clarity. Morning arrived faster than I had anticipated, the sun barely peeking over the horizon when a sudden, resounding knock echoed through my home. My heart froze. The forceful banging sent a chill down my spine, instantly reminding me of the letter I had received the day before. Yesterday had been the 18th. Today was the 19th—the day I was supposed to appear before the Supreme Court of Manderin. My pulse quickened as my mind scrambled for a solution. **"How do I..."****BAM! BAM! BAM!** Another heavy knock jolted me out of my thoughts. Without wasting another second, I rushed to

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 118 To The Community Service  

    Micah’s POVThe moment I stepped out of the office, the court officials grabbed me immediately, escorting me straight to the van before tossing me inside.Just as they were about to close the door, I caught sight of Judge Hilar stepping out of his office. He stood by the entrance, his gaze locked onto mine. His eyes were red and swollen as if he had been crying before coming outside.Even as the police vehicle took off, my eyes remained fixed on him until his figure faded into the distance.His words still haunted me, echoing in my mind as if he were standing right next to me, speaking them all over again.Two hours later, we arrived at my home—the same home I had abandoned when I left to be with Rebecca. The officers dragged me out of the van and led me inside. Without hesitation, they fastened a device to my leg, and the moment it snapped into place, a sharp beeping sound filled the air.I knew exactly what this device was. I had seen it in movies countless times—a tracking monitor
