Rebecca’s POV

I 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!”

  • 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 67 What Happened Next

    Luke’s POVI pointed my gun at Attorney Abel Cross. He was frightened; he raised his hands up as if he was in a war gunfight and had just surrendered.“Take everything you want, and leave me alone,” he said with his shaky voice as if I were some random thief.“Good!” I sounded.“I want your life. Now move to the other side of the car and don’t do anything funny.” I pointed the gun at him as I watched him panickedly move slowly to the passenger seat of his car.Earlier, I made sure I wore my helmet before I rasped my hand on his car window. This way, he did not recognize me at all.As he moved to the passenger’s seat, I immediately pulled the exterior door handle and got into the car. Then, I pressed the central lock button and made sure every car door in the Cadillac was locked.Attorney Abel gasped out his fright. He didn’t do a damn thing as I was still pointing my gun at him.One thing peculiar about me was that even if I had no hands, I would still drive a car perfectly. So many u

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 115 Judge Hilar Judgement

    Judge Hilar’s POVI sighed as I listened to Attorney David’s arguments. He had hit the nail on the head, leaving no room for a contrary opinion. Mr. Micah, without a doubt, should be sentenced to life in prison with every fiber of strength the law permits.However, as a judge, I could not allow emotions to dictate my judgment. The law was not based on sentiment but on logic and fairness. Even when all fingers pointed at Mr. Micah, my duty was to ensure that those fingers were justified before delivering a verdict. A mistake in judgment could cost an innocent person their future, and I could not allow that to happen under my watch.With this thought in mind, I looked up at the courtroom. "Thank you, Attorney David," I said first, acknowledging his argument.Then, I shifted my attention to the documents spread before me. These were files submitted to my desk by Attorney David and Attorney Deborah at the beginning of this argument via the bailiff. Each document contained crucial informat

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 114 The Judgment Itself 

    Micah’s POVAfter Evelyn had been asked a series of questions, she nailed the hammer on the nail, putting me in even more misery—misery I knew I could never escape from. Each word she spoke tightened the noose around my neck, making my fate feel inevitable.“Your Honor, if it pleases the court, I would like to invite Chef Mirabel herself to the stand,” Attorney David announced, his voice firm and unwavering. My heart pounded in my chest, my anxiety reaching its peak.This was the moment of truth—one that would drown me in the most pitiful state of my life.At this instance, I wished I could turn back the hands of time, erase every trace of my meeting with Rebecca. She was the root of all my misfortunes. If only I had never met her, maybe—just maybe—I would still be living my life the way I wanted, preying on victims too weak to stand up for themselves.As my thoughts spiraled, I barely registered Mirabel stepping forward.“Do you swear to tell nothing but the truth?” Attorney David as

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 113 Evelyn To The Stand

    Micah’s POVThe moment the video stopped playing, my mind went blank.I couldn’t think. I couldn’t speak.I was already bracing myself for the inevitable—for the judge to pronounce my judgment.The video was gory, violent, and disturbingly dark. It was so graphic that I struggled to believe Annabella had managed to capture everything that happened that night. But there was no mistaking it.My face was there. Clear as day.Her face was there too.There was no way around it. No excuse that could erase what was already being broadcasted to every single person in this courtroom.I felt suffocated."Mr. Micah."Attorney David’s voice sliced through the heavy silence.My pulse quickened.I kept my gaze lowered, refusing to meet his eyes. I didn’t need to look to know what expression he wore. I could hear the smugness in his voice before I even saw it on his face.He stepped closer. “I want to believe that video was AI-EDITED, right?” he teased, leaning against my stand, his words dripping w

    Micah’s POV“Shut your fucking mouth up!” my voice boomed from the audio.“You fucker! I am so going to have this sex with you, and there is nothing—nothing—no fucking body will fucking do about it!!!” my voice continued, filled with rage and dominance.“Ahhhhhh!” a lady’s voice rang in the audio, high-pitched and trembling.“Shut your hell mouth! You wanna tell me you’re not fucking enjoying this?!!!” my voice cut through the recording like a blade, silencing the lady.***I opened my eyes widely in horror.A cold shiver ran down my spine, making my fingers tremble slightly as I gripped the edge of the table before me. The courtroom was suffocatingly silent, yet the weight of the countless stares boring into me felt heavier than any noise could have been.I needed no one to tell me I was doomed.When did this lady make the voice recording?I struggled to recollect the exact moment. My mind raced, flipping through my memories like pages in a book, but the answer was already known to m

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 111 Judgment 

    Micah’s POV“Objection Overruled!” Judge Hilar voiced immediately. And with this,“Mr. Micah, please approach the stand,” Attorney David gestured, his voice carrying the weight of authority.My heart pounded against my chest, an anxious rhythm that echoed through my entire body. I forced my feet forward, each step feeling heavier than the last. What question was Attorney David going to ask me? What angle was he going to take? Was this about defining sadomasochism, or was he going to twist the narrative, making it seem like my sexuality had driven me to attempt rape?Before I could steady my breath, one of the court officials—a woman dressed in a well-tailored brown suit with neatly pressed pants—stepped forward from the corner of the courtroom. She moved with calculated precision, her every motion exuding professionalism. In her hands, she carried two hardcover books that looked like legal documents at first glance. But deep down, I knew what they were.“Which belief do you adhere to,

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 110 Micah Experience

    Micah’s POVI couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw David Cooper enter the courtroom. His footsteps as he walked down the aisle were full of tension.Everyone was shocked. Who wouldn’t know David Cooper? The best lawyer in the whole country?My heart raced as he continued to approach. And when he approached the bench, said his name to the judge, it was as if my heart dropped into the deepest pit.My hands trembled as if I was infected by a shaking disease. I was sweaty all over. Before I met Rebecca, I had watched cases David Cooper argued on TV.He was a popular attorney that they used his life-courting arguing cases to teach young and upcoming attorneys how to do it right. And as such, his cases were always shown on TV for free.The cases he argued were brutal. The defendant, if he were prosecuting, always landed in a life sentence or was sentenced to be killed by fire.I opened my eyes widely as I remembered the final judgment a court pronounced on a case.Would I be judged to be kil

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 109 Rebecca Saw Micah  

    Rebecca’s POVWe arrived at the Supreme Court of the Country of Manderin. We had been duly informed that Micah’s hearing at the court was today, and hence, his fate would be sealed before the day was over.The weight of the moment settled heavily upon my shoulders, but I embraced it with unwavering determination. This was the day justice would be served.In light of this, we had hired a prosecutor who would prosecute Micah for his crime—David Cooper.One of the best attorneys in the whole of Manderin, talk less of Mandena. His reputation preceded him, a man feared by many in the legal profession, admired by even more.I had personally paid to hire him. A whopping sum of 400 grand. Just to put Micah in his place and make him understand that there are consequences for every action and inaction.To attempt a r*pe was a crime against humanity, and definitely, he must learn to put his dick in his trousers from now on.The moment we arrived at the court, I saw him darting a fearful look at

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter 108 Appear of The Lawyer and The Court Hearing    

    Micah’s POVMorning came as if it were never going to. The night was so long, and I was hell frozen to almost death. Every second that passed felt like an eternity, and the darkness of the cell only made it worse. My body ached from the cold, my muscles stiff, and my mind foggy from the lack of sleep.I never knew that Mandena was a city with so much coldness. Each time, I had always been in the room with the heater turned on, sheltered from the biting night air. But tonight, no heater was turned on. No thick blankets to wrap myself in. Just the unrelenting chill that seeped into my bones, making it feel as though I was locked inside a freezer, struggling to keep warm with nothing but my own body heat.The station was eerily quiet. Most of the police had retired home for the night to be with their families, leaving only a few behind. The ones who stayed behind weren’t the same officers from the daytime. These men were different—fully dressed in black, wearing masks that obscured their

    Micah’s POVThe instant the officer returned to my cell, I didn't wait for him to speak. "I want my lawyer!" I immediately voiced before he could say anything else.“So, you think you can afford a lawyer, huh?” he chuckled darkly, his eyes narrowing as he sized me up. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he turned to the others. “Give him his phone for ten minutes,” he ordered, his voice carrying an authoritative edge.“Let him get himself a lawyer. But monitor him. We don’t want any funny business,” the officer warned.Funny business? Like what? Did they think I was going to miraculously break out of the cell? Escape from the police station when I knew full well that I’d be caught again? That any attempt at running would only worsen my already dire situation?I stayed silent, my thoughts swirling in my head as I remained seated on the cold concrete bench. A few seconds later, another officer approached the cell, his gaze unreadable. Through the metal bars, he stretched out his hand,
