Back at the Salvatore estate, the mood was much more lively. Grandma Elena was still basking in the success of the charity event, her heart warmed by the positive reception it had received. Estefan had cleared his schedule to spend time with Kaitlyn one afternoon, and the two of them were enjoying a rare moment of peace, lounging in the garden with cups of tea.Kaitlyn was smiling, her face glowing with the satisfaction of a job well done. She had worked hard on the event, and seeing how much it had meant to Grandma Elena had made it all worthwhile.“Grandma called earlier today,” Estefan paused to study Kaitlyn's reaction. “She still praises you for doing an amazing job,” Estefan said, reaching over to take her hand. “I’m really proud of you.”Kaitlyn’s smile widened as she tried to hide her shock at how he had held her hands. She tried to slowly retrieve her hands, but Estefan held them tighter, and she slowly relaxed as she squeRelated chapters
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss I Love Him
Chapter 69Kaitlyn paused mid-step, a surge of resolve tightening her chest. Michael’s words echoed in her ears, the venom in his voice clear—he was convinced their marriage was a sham. For a fleeting second, she considered ignoring him, walking away, and letting him stew in his own bitterness. But something inside her; the part that had spent months reclaiming her self-worth, demanded she stand her ground.Slowly, she turned back to face Michael, her eyes sharp with confidence. “You think you know me, Michael? That I’m incapable of moving on? That I can’t love anyone but you?” She stepped closer, her chin held high, her tone firm. “Well, let me clear something up for you; I love Estefan.”The words hit Michael like a physical blow, his expression shifting as her declaration cut deep within him. He swallowed hard, trying to keep his composure, but the hurt in his eyes was undeniable.Kai
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss I Saw You
Chapter 70Melissa’s fingers tightened around the handles of her shopping bags as she watched the scene unfold before her eyes. Hidden behind one of the mall’s sleek columns, she had a perfect view of Michael and Kaitlyn. She couldn’t believe it. Michael, her husband, the man she had fought tooth and nail to steal from Kaitlyn, was standing there, practically begging for his ex-fiancée’s forgiveness. The look of desperation on his face was unmistakable, and every word they exchanged was like a slap to her face.Vanessa, who had just come out of one of the shops, joined Melissa standing beside her, oblivious to the turmoil building within Melissa. “Hey, you good? You’ve been staring at them for a while,” Vanessa whispered, nudging her friend’s arm. Vanessa had only witnessed part of their interactions.Melissa didn’t respond. She felt her pulse quicken as she watched Kaitlyn walk away, her bodyguards closing in around her as if she were some queen. Michael stood there, alone, defeated,
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Bitter Truth
Chapter 71Vanessa stood awkwardly at the door, holding a few of Melissa’s shopping bags that she had mistakenly taken with her. The air in the room was thick with tension, and she knew instantly she had walked in on something she wasn’t supposed to witness. Michael was pacing, his face flushed with anger, while Melissa stood a few feet away, arms crossed and her eyes blazing with fire.“I, uh… I think I grabbed some of your stuff by accident,” Vanessa mumbled, holding up the bags. Her voice felt out of place in the charged atmosphere.Melissa barely acknowledged her, her attention fixed on Michael, who looked like he was ready to explode. The silence that followed was deafening, and Vanessa shifted uncomfortably, regretting her decision to come back.Michael’s eyes darkened as he took a deep breath. “We’re not done here,” he muttered, glancing at Melissa one last time before grabbing his jacket from the back of a chair and storming out of the house, the door slamming behind him with

Chapter 72Estefan studied Kaitlyn, her hesitation still in the air. He could feel the tightness in his chest as the silence stretched between them. Part of him wanted to press her further, to demand she tell him the truth about her interaction with Michael. But as he gazed at her, a softer side took over. The tension in the dining room was becoming unbearable, and he didn’t want to make things worse.With a slight smile, he waved his hand, brushing off the question as if it were unimportant. “Forget it,” he said lightly, his tone changing. “I’m sure it’s nothing. Let’s just enjoy dinner.”Kaitlyn blinked, surprised by his sudden shift in mood. She could sense a weight lifting off her shoulders, relief flooding her chest. She offered a tentative smile, thankful that he wasn’t pushing the issue. The tension in the air seemed to ease, even if only slightly.“Yeah, you’re right,” she said, taking a small bite of her food. “No need to dwell on it.”Estefan nodded, though his mind was far
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Cracks in the Wall
Chapter 73Estefan’s phone buzzed loudly again as the tension between him and Kaitlyn reached its peak. He glanced at the screen again and saw it was a call coming in, which he knew was urgent with the message he had just received. For a brief moment, he hesitated.“I’m sorry, I have to take this,” Estefan muttered, excusing himself from the dining table.Kaitlyn felt a wave of relief wash over her. As Estefan left the room, she let out a quiet breath, thankful for the distraction. The tension from earlier had been almost unbearable; she hadn’t been prepared for his probing questions just as he had done the previous night, or the intensity of his gaze.The brief escape gave her the time she needed to regain her composure and gather her thoughts together as she finished her meal alone.For the rest of the evening, Estefan was busy, dealing with one business issue after another. Kaitlyn didn’t mind. In fact, she welcomed it. The last thing she wanted was for him to press further about h
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Scramble Minds
Chapter 74Michael tried to mask his concern, but it was clear that the news had troubled him. He rubbed his temples, trying to steady his thoughts. The inspection could spell trouble, especially given his current state of disarray.“What are we going to do?” Michael asked in a low voice.Jessica looked at him sympathetically. “We need to be prepared. Mr. Salvatore’s visit could be significant, and we need to ensure everything is in order before he arrives.”Michael nodded; his stress was beginning to show on his face. “Okay, provide a report of all the pending correspondence.” His assistant acknowledged the request before she left.Michael sat at his desk, staring blankly at the email announcing Estefan’s upcoming visit. The surprise inspection in three days had rattled him more than he cared to admit. He was used to running things at his own pace—efficiently enough, but he hadn’t been as sharp lately, and now he was paying for it.“Why now?” he muttered, running his hands through hi

Chapter 75While the team wrapped up for the day, the director returned to his cabin to review some paperwork. He barely had time to breathe before his assistant walked in, apologized profusely.“I’m sorry about today,” the assistant said. “Melissa’s usually much more professional. I’ll talk to her and make sure everything’s sorted out before the next shoot.”“I hope she sorts herself out before then.” The director muttered under his breath. He stretched his hands to collect the file report he had requested earlier.“I will ensure that.” The assistant replied.The director waved him off. “Forget it. We’ve got bigger fish to fry.” He leaned back in his chair, flipping through the file his assistant had brought him. It was the special edition magazine for the season, a crucial release that required every detail to be perfect and their most anticipated edition for the year.As the director scanned through the designs and concepts, his mood lifted. The new identity they had chosen as the
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Melissa Scheming
Chapter 76A wicked smile formed on Melissa's lips as a thought of how she could destroy Kaitlyn's marriage with Estefan crossed her mind.“Why can’t I have Estefan all for myself?” They can’t replace me, she thought bitterly. Not like this. Not after everything.She picked up her phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialed a number she hadn’t called in years. It rang twice before a familiar voice answered on the other end."Well, well. Long time no hear, Melissa. What can I do for you?""I need a favor," Melissa said in a cold voice. "You owe me. And I’m calling in that favor now."The person on the other end chuckled darkly. "I thought you’d never ask. What’s the job?"Melissa leaned back in her chair, her eyes narrowing. "I need you to help me get some information, and I need it done fast. Will forward the details to you now.”There was a pause, then a slow, satisfied laugh. "Consider it done."Michael OfficeMichael sat in his office long after everyone had left. He glance

Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Feeling Unwell
Chapter 117Melissa sat across from Michael cold and with a rigid posture, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She had waited long enough, and now it was time to lay her cards on the table. In a calm yet resolute manner, she uttered those words that would change everything between them.“I want a divorce, Michael.” Her wavering eyes were locked onto his, as she declared. “And I don’t expect you to fight this.” She waved a hand at him.Michael sat motionless as he blinked, trying to process what she had just said, slowly letting her words sink in. Divorce? They had their issues, sure, but he hadn’t expected this. Not now, though their relationship was heading in that direction, but he wasn’t expecting this so abruptly.Melissa continued; her voice was strangely calm, as if she had rehearsed the lines many times before. "I don’t want anything from you. No money, no property—nothing. I can take care of myself." She exhaled sharply, as if relieved to get it off her chest.He tried to
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss End of Something
Chapter 116Michael and Melissa Apartment Melissa’s heart raced as she watched Michael, waiting for his response. The room seemed to grow colder; the sound from the television was barely audible at the moment amidst the tension between them. She had put everything on the line with her question, and now she needed the truth, no matter how painful it might be.Michael leaned back on the couch, rubbing his face with both hands. His mind was spinning as his heart conflicted. He wanted to be honest with Melissa, but even he wasn’t entirely sure of the answer. How could he explain the complicated feelings he still harbored for Kaitlyn while trying to build something real with Melissa?Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Michael spoke. “Melissa, I can’t lie to you,” he began, his eyes meeting hers with regret and frustration. “I’m trying to move on. I really am. But Kaitlyn... she was such a big part of my life. It’s hard to just... erase that.”Melissa felt her heart sink. Though sh

Chapter 115“There’s something I’ve been meaning to say for a while now,” Melissa began, her voice shaking slightly. “I know things between us haven’t been... easy.”Michael set down his wine glass, turning to face her, fully curious at what was bothering her so much that she was struggling to say. “What do you mean?” he asked. He had been through enough drama lately, and the last thing he needed was more, at least not today.Melissa looked away, her fingers tapping nervously on her knees. She wasn’t sure how to begin or if she should even say it, but she knew she had to. “I think,” she started, “we’ve been avoiding the real issues between us. The truth is... ever since Kaitlyn...” She hesitated as she saw the tension and anger in Michael’s eyes at the mention of her name.Michael interrupted her with a sharp tone. “This again? Melissa, for God’s sake, how many times are you going to bring up Kaitlyn? She’s not the problem. We are.”Melissa bristled at his words, feeling her frustrati
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss New Year Eve
Chapter 114Estefan Penthouse Kaitlyn stirred awake as the early morning light flowed through the curtains, giving a warm glow over Estefan's bedroom. Her mind was still foggy, but as she blinked herself awake, the events of the previous night came flooding back. She had once again found herself in Estefan’s arms and in his bed, after their return from the glamorous launching gala. The intensity of their connection, the way their lips found each other, how their bodies intertwined, and the emotions that followed were still fresh in her mind. She buried her face deeper into the blanket, feeling embarrassed yet excited as the memories replayed in her mind.After lying still for a while, Kaitlyn decided she needed to get up. Slowly, she tried to inch her way out of the bed, careful not to disturb Estefan. But just as she was about to slip out, she felt his arm tighten around her waist, pulling her closer. She frozen, thinking he might wake up, but when his grip loosened slightly, she re
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Mi Reina
Chapter 113The crowd’s whispers filled the grand hall as Estefan and Kaitlyn made their way toward the stage. Their striking entrance had left an indelible mark on the room. All eyes were on the power couple as they walked magnetically full of radiant and effortless grace that demanded attention.Kaitlyn tried to steady her nerves, aware of the scrutinizing gaze of the audience. Though she was used to being the center of attention, the significance of tonight, coupled with Estefan’s bold move to escort her publicly, had made her emotions swell. He hadn’t told her he was going to walk her.She couldn’t deny the comfort she felt as she felt his warm hand resting lightly on her back, guiding her forward. She had been avoiding him lately since the passionate night they shared together and couldn’t believe he would be there for her tonight.Estefan leaned in as they approached the stage and said in a low and intimate whisper. “You’re doing great, Mi Reina. This is your night, and I wouldn

Chapter 112The next morning at the hospital, Melissa was lying in bed; she hadn’t sustained any physical injuries from the accident, but the shock of the impact was still taking a toll on her. Both Michael and Melissa shared a private room in the hospital because of Melissa's status as a high-class model; the tension between her and Michael was still there. Vanessa sat beside her, too focused on slicing the fruit she had brought with her earlier; she was trying to distract herself from an uncomfortable situation in the room.Michael, meanwhile, was seated on his bed; his arm was bandaged and there were a few visible bruises on the side of his head. His friends had come to check on him immediately; they had received the news. They chatted together, but Michael’s mind was elsewhere. His eyes darting between Melissa and the door, nervous about the potential fallout of last night’s crash, and more so, the aftermath of his encounter with Kaitlyn from the night before was still much there.
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss It's a Beautiful Feeling
Chapter 111As Melissa stood outside the hotel, grumbling under her breath, she tapped her foot impatiently, glaring at the valet. Her frustration was bubbling over, and she let it all out on Michael as soon as they got in the car."I can’t believe you’re still chasing after Kaitlyn like some love-struck puppy, even after she’s married," she spat in anger. "You’re pathetic, Michael. She doesn’t want you, and she never will. You’re nothing but a puppet, her puppet!"Michael kept his eyes on the road, one hand gripping the steering wheel, the other propped on the window, supporting his head. His mind was far from Melissa’s insults. He was deep in thought, replaying the evening’s events in his head. The last time he had a confrontation with Kaitlyn, Estefan had scheduled an emergency inspection at the subsidiary division he was managing and didn’t later show up as he had scheduled, which he believes was a clear message of warning. Michael had brushed it off then, but tonight... tonight,
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Events at the Party
Chapter 110Before anyone could dwell too much on the unease, the lights dimmed as the moderator returned to the stage, signaling the next phase of the evening. “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the grand toast to the future of Salvatore Group. Please raise your glasses as we celebrate the legacy and the bright future ahead.”Glasses clinked all around, and Estefan’s arm tightened around Kaitlyn’s waist as they stood together, lifting their glasses in unison with the room. The atmosphere shifted to one of celebration, and Kaitlyn allowed herself to relax a little, the earlier confrontation fading as she focused on the positive energy around them.Adrian was occasionally stealing glances at Estefan and Kaitlyn, his mind still processing everything. He hadn’t missed the brief tension that had unfolded earlier when they returned from wherever they had been. His sharp eyes moved toward Melissa, who was seated with Michael now, her face set in a smug, satisfied expression. She had clear
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Putting Melissa in Her Place
Chapter 109Kaitlyn squared her shoulders, refusing to be intimidated by Melissa’s malicious smirk. “Steal your husband?” she said slowly; her voice was firm and clear. “Let me make one thing very clear, Melissa; I don’t want Michael. I never did, and I never will. So, don’t make this about me trying to take something that isn’t even worth having.”A huge blow was given to Melissa's face as her smirk faded at Kaitlyn’s words. Melissa narrowed her eyes dangerously as she opened her mouth to retort, but Kaitlyn wasn’t finished.“You might want to ask yourself why your husband has been lurking around me instead of standing by your side tonight,” Kaitlyn added coldly. “I didn’t seek him out. He’s the one who can’t seem to let go of the past.”Michael flinched, caught in the crossfire, but he still didn’t speak. His guilt was written all over his face, and Melissa saw it. She knew Kaitlyn would never approach Michael first, but she couldn’t admit that to Kaitlyn.“Oh, please,” Melissa snee
