IN LOVE WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS(He Is Betrothed, But Mine!) OLIVIA
OLIVIAThe door clicked shut behind Leonardo, and I exhaled the breath I hadn't realized I was holding. My hands trembled in my lap, a testament to how much Alicia's words had rattled me."You're not a distraction," Leonardo had said.I wanted to believe him-God, I wanted to. But the way Alicia's voice still echoed in my head made it hard to focus on anything else.You'll never be anything more than temporary.I shook my head, trying to push her venomous words away, but they clung to me like smoke. She'd struck a nerve, and she knew it.Standing from the chair, I began pacing the office. It was a large, imposing space, filled with sleek furniture and polished surfaces, but it felt suffocating now. The weight of everything was too much-Alicia's accusations, Leonardo's confusing behavior, my own jumbled emotions.Why was I even here?I caught sight of my reflection in the floor-to-ceiling windows and almost didn't recognize myself. The professional attire, the neatly tied hair... it

ALICIA I speed down the highway, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white. My father would handle the logistics, yes, but this wasn't just about family arrangements anymore. This was personal.Leonardo had embarrassed me, belittled me in front of his entire office staff. Worse, he had stood by that insignificant, plain assistant like she was worth defending. The image of him shielding her from my words was burned into my memory, fueling the fire of my hatred for her.She thought she could replace me? As if someone like Olivia could ever compete with me. She didn't belong in our world. She didn't understand the rules we lived by. But I would teach her, oh, I would teach her.When I arrived at my penthouse apartment, I kicked off my heels and poured myself a glass of wine, the rich red liquid swirling like my thoughts. Sitting down on the sleek leather couch, I reached for my phone and opened my laptop."Let's see what we can dig up on you, Olivia," I m

Choices and threats.LEONARDOThe sharp clack of Alicia's heels against the marble floor grated on my nerves long before I even saw her. The sound echoed through the quiet of my penthouse, a herald of the chaos that always seemed to follow her."Leonardo!" she called, her voice as sharp and demanding as ever.I exhaled slowly, bracing myself as I stepped into the living room. There she stood, dressed to the nines in a sleek black dress that clung to her frame. Her red lips curled into a practiced smile, the kind she used when she wanted something."What are you doing here, Alicia?" I asked, keeping my voice as even as possible.She turned, brushing her hair over her shoulder as she walked toward me. "We need to talk," she said simply, as if she hadn't barged into my home uninvited."There's nothing to talk about," I said, crossing my arms."Oh, but there is." She settled herself on the couch, crossing her legs with the confidence of someone who thought they belonged here.I stayed w

A deal with the devil Alicia's POVThe heels of my designer stilettos clicked sharply against the cold pavement, echoing in the quiet alleyway as I approached the lit café. This was far from my usual scene, but some things had to be done in the shadows, away from Leonardo's watchful eyes.I hated the stench of these backstreets. The grease from a nearby diner mingled with the sour odor of garbage, making my nose wrinkle in disgust. I pulled my fur-lined coat tighter around me and pushed open the café door, immediately hit by the stale aroma of cheap coffee and desperation.He was waiting for me in the corner, seated at a rickety table with a chipped coffee cup in front of him. Derek Stan. Olivia's stepbrother. The man who had proven to be both a disgrace and a necessary ally. My private investigator had brought out information about him and he'll be useful to get rid of Olivia from Leonardo's life. As long as that bitch is out of our lives for good, then I have no problem workin

unexpected visitor.Olivia's POVThe ballroom was big, bright, and loud. People moved around in expensive clothes, laughing and chatting like they didn't have a care in the world. I tried to keep up with Leonardo's pace as he guided me through the crowd. His hand was on my lower back, a steadying presence I wasn't sure I wanted or needed."Relax," he said softly, leaning close.I didn't respond. My black dress felt too tight, and the heels were killing me. This wasn't my world. I wasn't used to being surrounded by so much wealth and power.Leonardo stopped to greet someone, introducing me as his assistant. I nodded politely, barely listening to the conversation. My mind was elsewhere, thinking about how Alicia's glare had burned into me the moment we walked in.Alicia was across the room, standing near a fountain of champagne. She looked perfect in her sparkling silver gown, her smile sharp and fake. Her eyes didn't leave me, and I knew she was waiting for the right moment to s

Chapter 20: My Dear sister Olivia's POVThe following morning felt colder than usual, though the sun hung high in the sky. I couldn't shake the memory of Derek from the gala last night. His smirk, his voice, his presence-it all lingered like a dark cloud over me.Leonardo had dropped me off at my apartment after the gala, his mood tense but quiet. He didn't ask too many questions, only reminding me to call him if I needed anything. I was grateful for the space, but being alone didn't help. It gave my mind too much room to wander.Now, I sat at my tiny kitchen table, staring blankly at a cup of tea I hadn't touched. My phone buzzed on the counter, jolting me out of my thoughts. I reached for it, expecting a text from Leonardo or maybe Prisca from work.Unknown Number.I hesitated, my fingers hovering over the screen. Something in my gut told me not to answer, but curiosity got the better of me."Hello?""Morning, sis," Derek's voice came through the line, smooth and taunting.My

Chapter 21 The threats Olivia's POVLeonardo arrived faster than I expected. His sleek black car pulled up to the curb, and he stepped out, his expression sharp and concerned. He scanned the street until his eyes landed on me.I was sitting on a bench near the diner, my hands trembling in my lap. The moment I saw him, something in me broke."Olivia," he said, striding toward me. "What happened?"I shook my head, unable to find the words. My chest felt tight, and my throat burned as I fought back tears.He crouched in front of me, his hands gently gripping mine. "Talk to me. Did someone hurt you?"I hesitated before nodding. "It was my stepbrother," I whispered.Leonardo's jaw clenched, his grip tightening slightly. "Derek? What did he do?""He...he's back," I said, my voice shaking. "He called me this morning and made me meet him. He's threatening me, Leonardo. He knows everything about my past, and he's not going to leave me alone."Leonardo's eyes darkened, and a muscle in his jaw

Olivia’s POV I was halfway through pouring myself a glass of water when the sharp sound of shattering glass echoed through the house. The glass slipped from my hands, shattering on the floor as dread clawed at my chest. For a moment, I stood frozen, hoping I had imagined it. Then I heard the voices. “No one’s here!” Leonardo’s firm voice cut through the silence, sharp and commanding. “Don’t lie to me!” another voice shouted. My stomach churned. Derek. My heart thundered in my chest as I crept toward the stairs. The heated argument in the living room grew louder with every step. “Where’s Olivia?” Derek barked. “Don’t play games with me, rich boy. I know she’s here.” “You’re trespassing,” Leonardo shot back, his tone icy. “Get out before I call the cops.” I peeked around the corner, my breath catching. Derek stood in the middle of the living room, his fists clenched and his stance aggressive. Leonardo stood a few feet away, calm and composed, but the tension radiating from him

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.

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
