The Aftermath
Chapter 22
Later that evening, Kaitlyn found herself on the balcony, needing a moment to catch her breath. The city lights stretched out before her, a sea of twinkling stars that seemed to mirror the overwhelming emotions flowing within her.Estefan joined her a moment later, his presence comforting. “You’re doing great,” he murmured, his hand resting on the railing next to hers.Kaitlyn turned to him, her heart pounding in her chest. “This is all so much. Your parents, Michael, Melissa, this party feels surreal.”Estefan nodded, his expression softening. “I know it’s a lot, but you handled it perfectly. My parents already adore you.”Kaitlyn smiled, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I hope so.”Estefan tilted her chin up gently, forcing her to meet his gaze. “They do. And so do I.”The sincerity in his voice took her by surprise. For a moment, the burden of their arrangement, the contracts, and the deceptionRelated chapters

Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Quest for Revenge
Chapter 24Melissa paced the living room, her hands clenched into fists. The constant chatter about Kaitlyn and Estefan’s engagement was driving her insane. Every news article, every social media post, was a reminder of her own failures. She had lost everything: her best friend, her reputation, and now, even her sense of self. She had been so consumed by her desire to make Kaitlyn know she was the upper hand that she had lost sight of everything else and the possibilities of what Kaitlyn could do.Michael sat on the couch, watching her with a mixture of pity and concern. He knew how much this was hurting her, but he didn’t know how to help and was indeed powerless to render any help at the moment. He had lost his own sense of purpose after their betrayal, and now he felt like he was watching his life fall apart.Their relationship had been strained ever since they knew about Kaitlyn’s engagement, though they had put in effort in order to make it work,
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss The Wedding Ceremony
Chapter 25Standing before the mirror, Kaitlyn's reflection created an odd, whitish vision. The exquisite lace of her gown flowed gracefully to the floor, faintly glistening in the soft light. Her heart pounded with a mixture of excitement, fear, and an unshakable sense of disbelief. She was about to marry Estefan Salvatore; a man who, just months ago, had been unknown to her. Now, he was about to become her husband.Isabella Salvatore, Estefan's mother, entered the room in her elegant figure."You look absolutely stunning, Kaitlyn," she said with a warm smile but with expectation in her eyes."Thank you, Mrs. Salvatore," Kaitlyn replied, her voice tinged with nervousness. Despite the kindness in Isabella's words, Kaitlyn couldn't ignore the unspoken assessment. She knew that marrying into a family as powerful as the Salvador’s came with its own set of challenges and responsibilities.Isabella stepped closer, adjusting the veil that flows down Kaitlyn's back. "You’re part of our famil
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Morning After
Chapter 26The morning after the wedding, the world felt both familiar and entirely foreign to Kaitlyn. As the first rays of sunlight flow through the luxurious bedroom, she stirred, feeling the unfamiliar weight of a ring on her finger. The events of the previous day rushed back, bringing with them a mix of emotions she struggled to sort through.The bed beside her was empty; Estefan had already risen. She glanced at the clock: 7:00 AM. No surprise there. Estefan was a man of routine, and his business cleverness demanded early starts. The realization that she was now part of this world felt strange. This was her life now being Mrs. Estefan Salvatore, a name that carried weight, prestige, and no small amount of pressure.Kaitlyn swung her legs over the edge of the bed, her bare feet touching the cool marble floor. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. It was still early, but she knew she wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep. There wer
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss Reactions and Unsettled Emotions
Chapter 27"What did they say?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady and not give her emotions away."Michael is furious," Estefan said, his tone calm but with an hint of anger. "But he’s in no position to do anything. I’ve made sure of that."Kaitlyn nodded, trusting Estefan’s judgment. He was a man of power, and she knew he wouldn’t let anything happen to her. But still, the idea of Michael and Melissa plotting their next move was unsettling."They won’t be a problem, Kaitlyn," Estefan assured her, sensing her worry. "I won’t let them hurt you again."Kaitlyn looked into his eyes, seeing the sincerity there. Estefan was many things: cold, calculating, and, at times, ruthless. But he had shown her a side of himself that was protective, even caring. It was this side of him that she clung to, the side that made her believe that maybe, just maybe, there was a future for them beyond the contract. But she does not want to think abo
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss The Bitter Truth
Chapter 28Michael Walker sat in his office, his eyes glued to the screen of his computer. He had spent the last few weeks distracted, barely able to concentrate on his work. The news had spread like wildfire, and now every media outlet was buzzing with the story: Kaitlyn Dever, the woman he had discarded, was now Mrs. Estefan Salvatore. Michael’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the edge of his desk, the muscles in his jaw tightening with every passing second.“How could she?” Michael muttered under his breath, his mind racing with a mix of anger, jealousy, and a constant sense of regret. He had expected Kaitlyn to crumble after their breakup, to wallow in misery while he and Melissa moved on with their lives. Instead, she had risen like a phoenix from the ashes, aligning herself with one of the most powerful men in the country and his big boss at that.He felt a sharp pang in his chest, a bitter truth of the life he could have had if he hadn’t be
Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss The Salvatore Family Gathering
Chapter 29A few days after the wedding, Kaitlyn found herself nervously adjusting her dress in the mirror, trying to suppress the butterflies flying in her stomach. Today was the day she would meet more of Estefan’s family members beyond his parents and brother, Adrian, whom she had already encountered. The small gathering was meant to officially welcome her into the Salvatore family. Despite the small private gathering, Kaitlyn couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was about to be assessed by Estefan's extended family. The dinner was long overdue; Estefan had postponed it due to his busy schedule before their wedding.A soft knock on her bedroom door interrupted her thought. While she was still contemplating who was at her door, she heard Estefan's subtle voice from the other side."Kaitlyn, we should be leaving any moment for now.""Oh," Kaitlyn muttered to herself."Are you there? Can I come in?There was a b

The previous evening had gone better than she had hoped, and the genuine warmth from Estefan’s family had reduced much of Kaitlyn's anxiety. She felt like she was beginning to truly fit into her new life.As she got dressed for the day, she couldn’t help but think about the role she was playing. She was Kaitlyn Dever, now Mrs. Salvatore, married to one of the most powerful men in the city. A marriage on mutual agreement; a contract designed to serve both their purposes.Another thought about their supposed honeymoon, which was the next expected plan from them as newlyweds, sent a chill down her spine. It has been delayed for a few days, and Estefan had mentioned it briefly last week at the family gathering, and now she couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and curiosity at what he had planned.When Kaitlyn went downstairs, she found Estefan in the kitchen, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
