Gabriel’s POV

It’s been a while since I walked into this bank for anything, even just to withdraw. Technology is a better result of our world today, and everything I’ve done with this bank in the last three years, I’ve done from my phone.

Even so, it didn’t matter when I last came here. The moment I stepped into the bank, the security at the door greeted me with the utmost respect, as if I had always been coming to this bank and was some sort of executive.

“Mr. Moretti, welcome,” greeted the cashier at the counter with a smile the instant I approached her.

“How may we help you today, sir?” she immediately shifted to her professional demeanor.

She was wearing a black suit and blue-cut computer glasses, which added to her beauty. Her hair flowed down her shoulders like a spring cascading over rocky walls in the middle of a tropical region.

“Hmm…” I began, leaning on the counter and speaking softly.

“I was told to report to the nearest branch. My account was frozen.”

This wasn’t just another day at work; this was the day everything changed.A secret folder on my system contained several damning videos of Gabriel. From the moment he met the man he hired to the instant his wife’s life was cruelly taken by that same man, every detail was captured. It was indisputable evidence of his guilt.We had reported the murder case to the police—multiple times, in fact. But nothing came of it. The law firm we consulted? Silent.

    Rebecca’s POV“Yes, baby, I f**king love how you ride me.” These were the shocking words I heard as I stood at the door.Today was Gabriel’s birthday, and I had purchased a gift for him to surprise him at his office. He wasn’t expecting me, but I went anyway. After all, I was his wife. I shouldn’t be restricted from visiting my own husband, right?Standing at his office door, a wave of unease washed over me. Was I at the wrong door? “You’re the best, babe. I f**king love this,” I heard again, this time mixed with moans. My heart plummeted.There was no mistaking Gabriel's voice. Even in the dead of night or blindfolded, I could pick it out from a thousand others. I knew that voice.That’s why I barged in.My stomach churned as I threw the door open, praying I was wrong, hoping this was some horrible misunderstanding. But it wasn’t.There he was—Gabriel, my husband of five years. His pants were around his ankles, a woman straddling him with her skirt pushed up, revealing her bare backs

    Rebecca’s POVThe world around me felt blurred and distant as my eyes fluttered open. The sterile smell of medicine and disinfectant hit my senses immediately, and I realized I was in a hospital room. The ceiling lights above me were too bright, almost painful.For a moment, everything was disorienting. The last thing I remembered was the sound of screeching tires... Gabriel's face, cold behind the wheel... and the impact that sent everything into darkness. My chest tightened as I tried to piece together the fragments of memory. The crash—it wasn’t just an accident. Gabriel... He did this.I blinked, and when my vision cleared, I saw Natasha sitting beside me. She had been my best friend since childhood, so I wasn’t surprised to find her here. Still, her face was strained, her eyes red from what looked like hours of crying.“Hey,” she greeted softly the moment she noticed I was awake. Her voice trembled with relief, but when I tried to respond, the dryness in my throat made it impossi

    Rebecca’s POVBy our tradition, the dead must not stay long before burial. I remember how my mother buried my father quickly after his death in 2009. And now, just two days after her passing, we laid my mother to rest as well.Natasha and I left India and returned to Mandena, the country we call home.After the funeral, we went back to the family mansion. It was only Natasha and me now—she was all I had left. As we settled into the sitting room, one of the housekeepers turned on the TV. And there he was: Gabriel. His face filled the screen, celebrating his one-month wedding anniversary.Next to him was the same woman I had seen in his office, sitting on his lap like a queen. She was smiling, completely unaware of the destruction they’d caused in my life. They looked picture-perfect, soaking in the attention of flashing cameras.But I wasn’t heartbroken anymore. That part of me died with my mother. All I felt now was hatred—a deep, burning hatred for the man who had tried to kill me an

    Gabriel’s POV“Babe, what about the bags and money you promised me?”Every morning, without fail. Her voice was like an alarm I couldn’t turn off, and I was starting to feel like I was trapped in a nightmare. Emmanuella was obsessed with material things, and I could barely stomach it anymore. How did I not see this before I married her? Worse, how could I have left my loyal wife, Rebecca, for someone like her?It’s only been a month since the wedding, and I already knew I had traded a diamond for a stone. Sure, Emmanuella was beautiful—no one could deny that—but beauty fades. The reality? It’s hitting me harder than I expected. I was a fool. A complete fool.During one of my interviews after the divorce, someone asked me why I left Rebecca. Back then, I said she wasn’t as flashy as Emmanuella, that I needed someone who could boost my company’s image. What a shallow thing to say. If I had just asked Rebecca to dress differently, to be more in line with what I thought I wanted, she woul

  • Beyond The Billionaire’s Betrayal   Chapter Five Natasha Saw The Call

    Rebecca’s POVJust as Natasha turned the laptop screen toward me, I stared at Gabriel’s bank information. Everything inside me screamed to make him learn this lesson—instantly.“Find an orphanage, empty the bank account, and let’s move on to the next one,” I said to Natasha, my voice calm but laced with resolve. She nodded without hesitation, her fingers poised over the keyboard.Emptying Gabriel’s bank account was, of course, one of the easiest things for Natasha to do. With just a hit of a button, his account would be wiped clean, and the transfer history would vanish as if it never existed.He’d go crazy—furious—at the realization that, suddenly, his millions were gone.I smirked at the thought, my pulse quickening with satisfaction. Finally, I gave the second order to Natasha. “Do it now.”However, Natasha hesitated. “Uh... Rebecca, I think Gabriel is calling me, but the call isn’t connecting. I blocked him, remember?”She held up her phone, showing me the screen. There it was, a

    Gabriel’s POVI was already dressed for this meetup, but the anticipation gnawed at me. Ever since I received Natasha's text with the location, I couldn’t rest my mind.Indeed, I wronged Rebecca, but I had learned my lesson: not all that glitters is gold, and not all stones are worthless. Emmanuella was the gem I thought worth pursuing, but she turned out to be an empty barrel, unable to give anything of value. The only thing she knew how to do best was to demand for money and to sleep with me like a prostitute.If I could turn back the hands of time, I wouldn’t have betrayed Rebecca like that. It’s not too late to win her back, right?I wore a suit perfectly fitted for this day. My tie was one of the colors I knew Rebecca loved most—a perfect shade of blue. My Italian shoes were sharp and black, gleaming like coal.Checking myself out in the mirror, I knew I looked handsome. So handsome that I was confident if Rebecca set her eyes on me, she’d easily fall back for me. This was my chan

    Rebecca’s POVAs I walked into the restaurant, I saw the way he looked at me, like he had seen his queen approaching. His eyes lit up, and I could feel his gaze linger, drinking in every detail as though I were something precious he’d lost and just found again. I could tell he loved what he saw. But if he thought I liked what I saw, he deceived himself.The man sitting across from me was nothing more than a shell of who I once knew. A man who killed my mother would never look good in my eyes, no matter how sharp his suit or how well he cleaned up.After taking my seat, I ordered wine, ignoring his lingering gaze. “You look beautiful, Rebecca,” he exclaimed, his voice hopeful, almost eager. He waited for a reaction, for any sign of warmth from me. But did I care? No. His words slid right off me like water off a stone. I remained cold, unfazed.“Have your seat, Mr. Moretti,” I said, gesturing for him to sit. His face betrayed a moment of shock. He expected me to melt at his compliment,

But not to worry, I knew exactly where I could get it.Judging by what it was by the time now, they’d already closed. And then, I resolved to go the next morning.I sat on the bed edge and took off my shoes, preparing to sleep when I heard a knock on the door.Immediately, I smiled.I didn’t need anyone to tell me who was at the door. I knew exactly who was knocking. Were they not the service providers I ordered for the night?Scoff!I walked to the door and opened it. By this time, they both walked into my room in a dress that signaled they were ready for the night because they were not wearing anything other than panties and bras.Was this not the best of my life?

So, I hurried away from the underbridge and walked down the road alone.I could not get a taxi or anything to make me get to the law firm quickly, as it was the place I left my bike.While I was thinking about how I could get there faster, in spite of all odds against me, something just suddenly struck my mind.“Uber!” I sounded.At this instance, I brought out my phone and downloaded the Uber app. Within seconds, I had already ordered a ride that drove to my location as fast as the blink of an eye.Before I knew it, we were already at the law firm, and I got down from the Uber while it drove away.Seeing my bike where I left it, I was so pleased within myself.In other countries, most especially from what I have seen on TikTok, this could not happen. Someone would have already stolen your bike because this place

    Luke’s POV“Slowly turn and take two steps forward. Easy.”I turned slowly as the voice sounded. And just then, when I finally turned, I saw that it was indeed a policeman.He dressed in uniform and had his holsters beside his belt. From what I could see, he had two holsters. Two holsters meant two guns, but he was only pointing one gun at me, while the other remained in the second holster.“Drop your gun to the ground nice and easy and kick it forward,” he instructed immediately.With this, I did as he asked me. I dropped the gun to the ground easily and kicked it forward towards him as he remained pointing the gun at me.As he saw that I listened to what he instructed, he walked slowly towards me now. His pointed gun firm at me spoke volumes as he was approaching.“If you do anything funny, I’ll shoot!” he sounded.“I won’t do anything funny, officer,” I lied.Scoff.There was something police officers needed to know. If they wanted to arrest a criminal like me, they should come in t

    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

    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

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

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
