Chapter 130:

Alicia's Pov.

The soft glow of the city lights filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows across the room. I stood silently, holding a glass of wine in one hand, my phone in the other.

The message I had just sent to Olivia still lingered on the screen, the three little dots indicating she was typing a response.

“Why are you doing this?”

Her desperation was almost laughable. I chuckled softly, setting my glass down on the table. She still didn’t understand. It wasn’t about why. It was about because I can.

Victor entered the room, his dark eyes immediately locking onto me. He smirked, already knowing what I was doing without asking.

“She’s still begging?” he asked, settling into the chair across from me.

“She thinks begging will change my mind,” I replied smoothly.

He laughed softly. “And will it?”

I raised an eyebrow, amused. “What do you think?”

Victor leaned back, watching me with curiosity. “You enjoy this too much.”

  • IN LOVE WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS(He Is Betrothed, But Mine!)   Olivia!

    Olivia’s POVThe soft hum of the air conditioner filled the silence of my room as I sat on the bed, knees pulled to my chest. My eyes burned from the tears I had shed all night, and the dull ache in my chest felt unbearable. Alicia’s latest message echoed in my mind."Are you sure he’s only yours?"The photo attached to the text haunted me—the image of Leonardo with another woman, laughing, holding her close. She looked at him the way I did. Like he was her entire world.I knew it was an old photo. I knew it didn’t mean anything now. But Alicia didn’t need truth to hurt me. Doubt was enough. And it was working.A knock at the door startled me, and I quickly wiped my face with the back of my hand.“Olivia?” Leonardo’s voice was soft, hesitant. “Can I come in?”I wanted to say no. I wanted to tell him to leave me alone. But I couldn’t. I needed him, even if my mind was clouded with doubt.“Yeah,” I whispered.The door opened slowly, and Leonardo stepped in, his dark eyes filled with c

    Chapter 132:Olivia’s POVThe morning sun filtered through the thin curtains, casting a soft glow across the room. But even the warmth of the sunlight couldn’t chase away the chill that had settled in my bones. My body felt heavy, my mind foggy from another restless night. The weight of Alicia’s presence in my life was suffocating me.I sat up slowly, my fingers gripping the edge of the blanket tightly. My phone was on the nightstand, and I stared at it with dread.Every morning, I woke up fearing another message from her. Another reminder that she was always watching.I reached for the phone, holding my breath as I unlocked it. Relief washed over me when I saw no new messages. But I knew it wouldn’t last. Alicia thrived on keeping me on edge, never knowing when she would strike again.A soft knock at the door made me jump, and Leonardo’s voice followed. “Olivia? Are you awake?”“Yes,” I called out, forcing my voice to sound steady.He opened the door gently, his dark eyes immediat

  • IN LOVE WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS(He Is Betrothed, But Mine!)   VICTOR!

    Victor’s POVI stood on the balcony of my penthouse, cigarette in hand. The smoke curled lazily in the air, disappearing into the night. The view never changed. Busy streets. Endless buildings. People moving like ants, unaware of the games being played above them.I took another drag, my mind racing. Alicia was inside, probably plotting her next move against Olivia and Leonardo. She always was. It amused me, watching her twist their lives into knots. But it also made me curious.Why did she care so much?I wasn’t a man who cared about love or revenge. Business was simple. Power was clear. But emotions? Emotions made people weak. Yet, Alicia thrived on them. She fed on them.“Victor,” her voice called softly from inside.I turned, leaning against the railing. She stood in the doorway, a glass of wine in her hand, her blonde hair falling in soft waves around her face. She looked calm, but I knew better. Behind that beautiful face was a storm waiting to be unleashed.“What is it, Alic

    Chapter 134Leonardo’s POVThe pressure of everything pressed down on my shoulders as I sat in my office, staring at the screen in front of me. Harris had just sent me the latest report from his team. Another dead end. Another location where Alicia had already disappeared before we arrived.I clenched my fists, frustration bubbling inside me. She was always one step ahead. Every time we got close, she slipped away, leaving behind only chaos and fear.My phone buzzed, pulling me from my thoughts. I grabbed it quickly, hoping for news. But it wasn’t from Harris. It was Olivia.“Where are you?”I sighed, running a hand through my hair before replying. “At the office. I’ll be home soon.”She didn’t respond. I knew she was struggling. Alicia’s constant threats were tearing her apart, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop it.I stood up, grabbing my jacket. I couldn’t stay here, staring at screens and waiting for answers. I needed to do something.When I got home, Olivia was sitt

  • IN LOVE WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS(He Is Betrothed, But Mine!)   Victor!

    Chapter 135:Victor’s POV I stood on the balcony of yet another penthouse, the cool breeze brushing against my skin. This was the third time we’d moved in the last two weeks, and Alicia still seemed unfazed. She thrived on the chase. The more Leonardo hunted us, the more alive she seemed to feel.I exhaled slowly, running a hand through my hair. I didn’t mind the running. It kept things interesting. What bored me was the predictability of it all. Leonardo’s desperation. Olivia’s fear. Alicia’s obsession.Alicia.She was inside, pacing as she made her next plan. She lived for this, for the game. But tonight, she was different. Tense. Restless. And that intrigued me.I turned away from the view and walked back inside. Alicia was in the middle of the living room, arms crossed, eyes sharp as she scrolled through her phone. She wore black leggings and a fitted tank top, her blonde hair falling loosely over her shoulders.“Problems?” I asked, leaning against the doorframe.She glanced

    Chapter 136:Leonardo’s POV No matter how many men I hired or how many cameras I installed, Alicia always found a way to remind us she was there. Watching. Waiting.I ran a hand through my hair, exhaustion pulling at me. Olivia was asleep upstairs—or at least, trying to sleep. I knew she hadn’t gotten more than a few hours of rest in weeks. The constant fear, the messages, the photos... it was breaking her. And it was breaking me too.My phone buzzed on the table beside me, and I grabbed it without hesitation. Harris.“Tell me you have something,” I said, voice low.“We tracked Victor Russo to a penthouse downtown,” Harris replied. “He and Alicia are staying there.”My pulse quickened. “Are you sure?”“Positive,” Harris said. “I’ve got men watching the building.”I exhaled slowly, trying to stay calm. “Good. Keep them there. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”I ended the call and grabbed my jacket. As I passed Olivia’s room, I paused, my hand hovering over the doorknob. She needed r

    Olivia’s POVThe sun rose slowly, casting a pale, weak light through the hospital window. I sat in the corner of the sterile room, wrapped in a thin blanket the nurse had given me hours ago. My body was numb, my mind stuck in a loop of the night before. The sound of the gunshot echoed in my head, over and over, like a cruel reminder of what I had done.I killed her.My hands still felt cold from holding the gun. I stared at them now, turning my palms upward as if I’d see Alicia’s blood on them. But there was nothing. Just skin. Just hands.Leonardo sat beside me, his eyes closed, his breathing slow but restless. He hadn’t left my side since the police brought us here. He held my hand even when I didn’t respond. Even when I stared straight ahead, lost in the memory of Alicia’s body hitting the floor.I shifted slightly, and the movement woke him. His eyes opened immediately, sharp and alert, before softening when they landed on me.“Hey,” he said softly.I didn’t respond.He sat up s

    Chapter 138:Leonardo’s POVThe black rose lay on the kitchen counter, its petals dark and smooth, mocking me with its presence. I stood beside it, arms crossed, jaw clenched. Next to the rose was the note. The handwriting was the same—elegant, slanted letters that I recognized immediately. Alicia’s handwriting.But she was dead.I’d seen her fall. I’d watched the life drain from her eyes after Olivia pulled the trigger. I had held Olivia afterward, shielding her from the sight of Alicia’s lifeless body. We had both been there when the police arrived and confirmed that Alicia was gone.And yet...I stared at the rose again, my mind racing through every possibility. A copycat? Someone working with her? Or was Alicia alive somehow? Had we been tricked?The sound of Olivia’s footsteps on the stairs pulled me from my thoughts. She walked into the kitchen, her face pale, her eyes locked on the rose. Her hands trembled as she rubbed her arms.“She’s dead,” she whispered. “She has to be.”

    Chapter 159: Growing TogetherOlivia's POV"Mommy! Can I go play outside?" Lily's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I turned to find her standing by the back door, already in her sneakers, her backpack slung over her shoulder as though she was ready for an adventure."Did you finish your chores first?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.Lily made a face but nodded. "Yes, Mommy. I made my bed, and I put away my books."I smiled. "Alright, go ahead. But make sure to stay close, okay?"She grinned and ran outside, her blonde hair streaming behind her. Ethan, who had been playing with his toy cars on the floor, looked up at me."Mommy, can I go outside too?"I knelt down to his level, brushing a stray curl from his face. "After breakfast, sweetie."He pouted but nodded, his little lips pulling into a tight line as he held up his toy truck.I went back to the kitchen, turning off the stove and preparing to set the table. Just as I placed the last plate down, I felt a pair of strong arms wrap

    Chapter 158: A Life of LoveOlivia’s POVThe afternoon sun filtered through the trees, casting soft golden hues over the yard. I stood by the kitchen sink, watching through the window as Leonardo played outside with our daughter. Their laughter echoed in the crisp air, blending with the rustling of leaves.She sat perched on his shoulders, her tiny hands gripping his hair as he ran in circles, pretending to be a horse.“Faster, Daddy!” she squealed.Leonardo groaned dramatically. “Princess, Daddy is getting old.”She giggled, tapping his head. “No, you’re not! You’re strong like a superhero!”I smiled, my heart swelling.This was our life now. Simple, filled with love.No more running. No more looking over our shoulders. Just us.I wiped my hands on a towel and made my way outside. The air was crisp, the scent of pine and fresh grass wrapping around me.Leonardo spotted me first.

    Chapter 157: A Love That LastsOlivia’s POVThe sound of soft laughter echoed through the cabin as I stepped into the kitchen, rubbing sleep from my eyes. The morning sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a golden glow over the wooden floors. The air smelled of fresh coffee and something sweet—pancakes, maybe.I followed the scent, my heart warming at the sight before me.Leonardo stood at the stove, shirtless, wearing only loose pajama pants. His dark hair was still tousled from sleep, and the muscles in his back flexed as he flipped a pancake with effortless ease. But what made me smile the most was the little girl sitting on the counter beside him, her tiny hands clapping together as she watched her father cook."Again, Daddy!" she giggled.Leonardo grinned and spun the spatula between his fingers before tossing the pancake into the air. It flipped twice before landing perfectly back in the pan."Like that, princess?" he asked.She nodded enthusiastically, her brown cur

    Chapter 156: EpilogueOlivia’s POVThe mountain air was crisp as I stood on the wooden balcony, gazing at the endless stretch of pine trees below. The sun had just dipped behind the peaks, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The wind whispered through the branches, carrying with it the clean scent of rain and earth.It was quiet here. Peaceful.Safe.For the first time in months, I could breathe without fear coiling around my throat. The Russo family was gone. Matteo Russo was dead. The house, the network, the legacy—destroyed. Harris had confirmed it with photos and reports. There was no one left to hunt us. No shadows lurking behind cameras. No footsteps echoing in the night.Leonardo stepped onto the balcony beside me, two mugs of coffee in hand. He handed me one, then wrapped his free arm around my waist, pulling me into his warmth."Thinking again?" he asked softly.I leaned against him, feeling his steady heartbeat through his sweater. "Always."He kissed the top

    Final Chapter(155)Leonardo’s POVThe sharp sound of footsteps echoed through the stairwell as Olivia and I sprinted toward the exit. Smoke burned my throat, and every muscle in my body screamed for rest, but we couldn’t stop. Not now. Not with Matteo Russo closing in.We reached the ground floor and burst through the emergency exit into the alley. The cold night air hit me like a slap. I scanned the shadows for movement, gun raised. Olivia stood beside me, her eyes wide and wild.The phone in my pocket buzzed again.Another message.“You can’t run forever.”I gritted my teeth and shoved the phone back into my jacket. "He’s playing with us," I muttered.Olivia’s voice shook. "He’s just a kid, Leonardo.""No," I said, scanning the rooftops. "He stopped being a kid the moment Victor put a gun in his hand."She hugged herself, shivering. I placed a hand on her arm, grounding her. "We end this tonight.""How?" she asked.I didn’t have an answer.The phone buzzed again.I hesitated, then

    Chapter 154Olivia’s POVThe smell of smoke lingered in the air as I stood beside Leonardo, staring at the burning ruins of the Russo compound. The flames crackled, devouring the walls, the floors—everything Matteo Russo had built to continue his father’s legacy.But the weight in my chest wouldn’t lift. The fire might’ve destroyed the compound, but the memories remained. The sight of Matteo’s small body hitting the floor haunted me. His lifeless eyes. The blood spreading across his shirt.He’d been just a boy. A boy raised to hate, to kill, to continue the twisted family tradition. And Leonardo had been forced to pull the trigger."Olivia," Leonardo said softly, his voice pulling me from my thoughts.I blinked, realizing I’d been clutching my arms so tightly that my nails had dug into my skin. I loosened my grip. "Yeah?""We need to go. The police will be here soon."I gave a shaky nod.Leonardo took my hand, guiding me toward the car parked beyond the tree line. The headlights wer

    Chapter 153:Leonardo’s POVThe photograph of the baby lay on the table, the words "Blood runs deep" scrawled across the back in thick red ink. Olivia sat beside me, her eyes locked on the image as though it might come to life. My own thoughts churned like a storm, each one darker than the last.Victor Russo had a son. An heir. A child born into a legacy of violence and manipulation."We didn’t know," Olivia whispered, voice trembling. "We thought we ended the family."I ran a hand down my face, exhaustion pressing against my skull. "Victor always had contingency plans. We underestimated him.""But how?" she asked. "We dug into every aspect of his life. There was nothing about a kid.""Because he wanted it that way." I stood and paced the length of the living room. "Victor was always obsessed with bloodlines. Family. Legacy. Of course, he’d hide a child until he was ready to use him."Olivia rubbed her arms. "He looked so...calm. That boy at the door. Like he wasn’t scared at all.""

"Did...we win?"I glanced at Victor’s body. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling."Yeah," I said. "We won."Harris’s team arrived within minutes. They removed the bomb and secured the mansion. Harris, bruised but breathing, sat on the porch while medics checked his vitals.Olivia and I stood nearby, watching the sunrise paint the sky in soft oranges and pinks."It’s really over," she whispered.I wrapped my arm around her. "This time, it is."She leaned into me. "No more running?""No more running," I promised.The Russo family was gone.And we were finally free.Olivia’s POVThe morning sunlight crept across the horizon, casting a soft orange glow over the Gael estate.

    Chapter 151:Leonardo’s POVThe headlights sliced through the dark as I sped away from the cemetery, my knuckles white against the steering wheel. Olivia sat beside me, silent, her body rigid with fear. The message on my phone echoed in my mind:“The devil doesn’t die.”Victor Russo was alive. Or someone who looked and sounded exactly like him.I didn’t believe in ghosts. But I knew the Russos were capable of almost anything. Victor had faked his death once already. Why not twice?"Leonardo," Olivia said softly.I glanced at her, her face pale in the dim light. "Yeah?""How...how is this possible?" Her voice cracked. "We saw his body. We saw the coroner’s report."I didn’t have an answer. I’d held Victor’s cold wrist to check for a pulse that day. I’d seen the bullet hole in his forehead. But tonight...I’d seen him standing beneath the trees, breathing, smiling."We’re missing something," I said finally. "Something big."She hugged herself. "What if it really was him?"I gritted my t
