Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 119
CHARLOTTE'S POV“No, Rose, I can't sit still. I want my husband.” I whined as I paced across her room while rubbing my hands together.“You're addicted to this man, Charlotte.” She replied and I stopped as I thought about it.“You're right. I am addicted to him! And now I want to see him! I cannot breathe when he's not near, Rose. Help, I'm dying!” I said dramatically as I clawed at my throat and lay on the bed like I passed out.“You dramatic child.” She shook her head in disappointment as she sat beside me and poked my forehead.“Ow, be gentle! See, you're bullying me!” I lamented and she laughed as she laid down as well.“You know, I think we should have made a bet.” She started and I turned to look at her.“What bet?”“I told you that you'd fall for Owen but you argued with me like I was crazy. Now look at you, you're obsessed over him. I would have had a few bucks in my pocket now…” She clicked her tongue as she shook her head with a smile on her face.“I wouldn't have believed t

OWEN'S POVI rubbed my temples as I stared at the people sitting in front of me. One would think that with the way I used to be harsh on them, I detested them.The truth was that I cherished them a lot. And seeing them seated across the table while trying to find a way to gather the company together made my heart swell with pride.“I think we should start with PR first. We need to publicize the company and let everyone know that we're back in business. I have a suggestion for that.” Ethan said as he walked in and my eyes narrowed as I sighted Roselia before he closed the door.What is she doing here? Is Charlotte here too-?My phone rang loudly, disrupting the conversation and everyone turned to look at me. I glanced at the caller ID and a smile formed on my face when I saw who it was.I was supposed to end the call but I wanted to hear her voice badly. I quickly connected the phone to my AirPods and plugged it in before picking up the call.“Hey there, cupcake,” I muttered excitedly

OWEN'S POVCharlotte flew out of her seat and into my arms and I chuckled as I held her waist in a tight hug. Her scent filled my nose and I couldn't help but bury my face into her neck and inhale deeply.“What are you doing? That tickles!” She giggled and when I pulled away, I didn't miss the twitch in Caleb's eyes.Somehow, this close intimacy bothered him. I could see it in the way he tapped his feet that he was bothered. Isn't it sick that I love it and want to keep bothering him?“Hey, Caleb. How have you been?” I asked with glee and he gave me a tight smile as he stood up.“I'm glad to see that you're in great shape, Owen. Welcome back.” He said and I nodded as I sat on the couch with Charlotte on my lap.She leaned in to whisper something funny in my ear and I laughed out loud. I peeked at Caleb and his body language told me all that I needed to know.His fists were clenched and his eyes were twitching uncontrollably. He kept tapping his feet on the floor, and all these are tin

CHARLOTTE'S POV Six months. It's been six months since I married Owen. Six months filled with laughter, pain, accidents, tears, hospital visits, but most of all… love. Sometimes, I still find it hard to believe that the 'irresponsible workaholic' I once knew is the same wonderful husband I now lay my head on. “Are you feeling okay, hubby?” I asked as I raised my head to look at him and he turned his head to look at me. “What are you thinking about? You seem lost in your thoughts. I can give you a penny for it.” He looked at me in confusion as he raised a brow and I pulled away from his embrace. “What do I need a penny for?” He asked and I pouted. “Are you serious right now? I meant a penny for your thoughts!” I explained and he looked like a light bulb just lit up above his head. “Oh, that's what you meant. I'm sorry I was a little distracted for a minute.” He replied and I crossed my arms. “Are you thinking of another woman?” I asked and his eyes widened as he sat

OWEN'S POVThe meeting flew by like a flash and I couldn't wait to get back to Charlotte. I had the perfect date spot in mind and all I had to do was make a reservation.Everyone was reinstated back in their positions and Ethan was by my side as well. I would make him the director, but this would only make Caleb more suspicious, and it might cause a disaster. He'll get that promotion when Caleb is finally put in prison.I gently rubbed my chest as an uneasy feeling crept inside of me. It felt very weird, like an impending disaster. A calm before the storm. And I would be lying if I said it didn't scare me.I took out my phone and placed a reservation as I walked back to the office, a light bounce on my feet while I whistled softly. The thought of seeing Charlotte happy was enough to calm the raging storm inside me.“Hey, cupcake!” I said enthusiastically as I pushed open the door but was met with absolute silence. Where did my sweetie pie go?“Cupcake?” I called out as I checked the b

CHARLOTTE'S POVI sat in front of my parents’ grave and stared at the stones blankly. My face was stained with dried tears as the wind blew against me violently. I didn't think I could cry anymore.“Mom, Dad, I always believed that you both got into an accident to avoid paying the debt that you took. I'm sorry for being so stupid. How do I even explain this?”I let out a sad laugh as I looked up at the sky. I didn't want to believe it. I kept pinching myself to wake up from this nightmare, but all I felt was immense pain.“What do I do? How can I-”“Charlotte!!” I heard someone call out my name from afar and I rose to my feet.“Cupcake, are you here?” I heard him say as his voice drew closer and my heart skipped.Owen is here. My first instinct was to run to him and bury my face in my chest. But how could I look at him the same way after knowing that he was the one who killed my parents?I stood rooted to the ground as I finally saw him approach me and a look of relief washed over his

CHARLOTTE'S POVThe look on Rose's face told me that she was thinking just what I was thinking. I didn't care how Caleb got the video, or why he decided to sell Owen out like this.All I cared about was why he did it.“It looked like he was drunk here… see? He's staggering.” Rose observed and she was right.“If he was drunk, then it really wasn't his fault-”“Are you taking his side now? Why would he drink and drive in the first place? Even if he was drunk, he could have helped them out! But no, he left them and drove away. Can't you see?” I almost yelled at her and she let out a sigh.“I don't know, Char. I think there's more to this than we see. Owen is not that reckless.” She was clearly defending him and it totally pissed me off.“You know what, keep defending him. It's not your parents he killed but mine. That's why you can talk like this.”I knew what I said wasn't right, and the hurt expression on her face confirmed it but I was too angry to think.“Charlotte, your parents were

OWEN'S POVI tossed and turned in unease as I pondered on Charlotte's behavior earlier today. She was obviously very mad at me but I can't seem to think of what I did wrong. It felt extremely lonely without her.I considered going to Ethan's place to bring her back home but the way she looked at me, like she never wanted to see me again, made my heart sink in fear.We were supposed to go on a romantic date tonight. I sighed as I stared at the clock that read: 12:34 AM. I wonder how she is right now. I should probably give her a call.I picked up my phone on the table stand and just before I tapped the dial button, I realized that she might be asleep. I let out a frustrated groan as I placed the phone back on the table.I can't even last a night without her, I have to go get her once it gets bright. I don't care how mad she is at me, we'll talk it out. I took my phone and stared at her smiling face on the screen of my phone.I didn't realize when my eyes drifted close and I fell asleep

OWEN'S POVMonths had passed since my parents’ death and Caleb's cruel execution. One that he deserved. I couldn't help but remember him every now and then. The happy times we shared, the bliss and excitement that we experienced together… How could it all be a lie?“Snap out of it, Mister. The brides will be here any minute.” Ethan said as he helped me straighten my bow and suit and I rubbed my hands nervously.“Tell me the truth, Ethan, do I look good enough?” I whispered and he hit my shoulder as he fixed his bow too and stood beside me.“Don't you know that you have the limelight on you? I'm in the shadows here, Sir.” He said with a chuckle and I chuckled too as the priest walked up to the altar.“Can you believe it? We're both getting married on the same day to inseparable friends. This is called what, fate?” I mumbled and he shook his head in amusement as we turned to look at the entrance.“Damn it! The rings!” I exclaimed in horror and he slapped the back of my head as he took i

CHARLOTTE'S POVI took deep breaths as I stood in front of the beautiful gates and Owen took my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. I lifted my head to look at me and he had a small smile on his face as he rang the doorbell twice.We waited in silence, my breath held in nervousness and after a while, someone pulled the door open. I plastered a smile on my face and when the man looked at me then at Owen, a warm smile formed on his face as he opened the gate wide open for us to come in.I was surprised at how he treated us but then, who wouldn't treat Owen right, knowing who is? We walked inside hand in hand and the man guided us inside the house and told us to wait while he called his bosses.I glanced around and the beauty of the house took my breath away. It was magnificent and luxurious. It reminded me of how I felt when I first stepped into the Walkers’ house.“Are you okay?” Owen asked as he rubbed my hands gently and I nodded.“Just a bit nervous. That's all.” I said with a ner
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 170
CHARLOTTE'S POVI wasn't just nervous, I was panicking. The anxiety threatened to swallow me whole and sweat kept running down my face, ruining my makeup for the fifth time.“Char, come on! It's not even hot yet you're sweating so much. You know what, you don't need makeup. You're already so pretty on your own. Just stop being so nervous and scared. They're your parents, not God.” Rose said as she took out another wiper and started to wipe my face clean.I knew she was right but I couldn't help the fear that clawed at my throat, threatening to end me.“You don't get it, Rose. This isn't just anybody. These people are almost on par with Owen! How am I supposed to feel knowing that my biological parents are important figures in the country and I lived my whole life running from debt? Make it make sense, Rose!” I exclaimed in frustration as I collapsed into the chair.“We should have gotten this over with a month ago but they just had to leave the country at that time. Now they're back a

OWEN'S POVThe day was finally here. The day of judgment for Caleb.Charlotte and I stood hand in hand in the crowded courtroom, the tension in the air thick enough to slice through with a knife. My grip on her hand tightened and she looked at me with a reassuring smile.I turned and my eyes met Caleb's, who stood at the defendant's table with his expression showing that he was unbothered. He looked like he was ready to face whatever came his way, like he didn't care and none of this mattered to him.For a man who had caused me so much pain, he was very calm, which disturbed me greatly.I clenched my fist as the weight of everything he had done began to press down on me so much that it almost suffocated me.My parents... Charlotte’s parents... Beatrice… those innocent lives that he took. How could he stand there without a sign of remorse?The judge finally entered, and the room went silent. Everyone stood as we waited for him to take his seat. My heart pounded harshly in my chest as I
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 168
CHARLOTTE'S POVI stared at Owen in confusion and he ran a hand through his hair as he took a seat beside me and held my hands.“I'm serious. Caleb found out first, then Ethan found out and he told me. That's what we were discussing that day. I know it's hard to believe but I have evidence and proof. You are the legitimate and missing daughter of the Davies.” Owen explained and I just stared at him like he was cracking a joke.“Don't you think this is a very expensive joke? What do you mean by I'm the daughter of the Davies? Like ‘The Davies’. Are you trying to mess with me right now?” I asked in annoyance as I got off the bed and Owen sighed as he stood up with me.“He's right, Charlotte.” Ethan butted in and I glanced at him in confusion.“Hold on…this isn't a prank. You're actually serious about this.” I clarified and my heart sank when they nodded in affirmation.“How is this possible? I grew up with my parents. All my childhood memories that I can recall were with them. They neve
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 167
OWEN'S POV“What was it?” I asked in confusion and he sat up as he leaned towards me.“A bulletproof.” He replied and my brows creased in confusion. What did he mean by that?“What do you mean bulletproof? How would that have saved my life?” I asked and he let out a chuckle.“Well, it saved mine. Without a second thought, I went to the store room and grabbed the only one that was available there. I remember when you told your father that it wasn't needed and that he shouldn't get it. It eventually came in handy.”“I was supposed to take it to you so that you could escape unscathed but I was too late. He already held you at gunpoint so I had no choice but to wear it under my clothes and act as your bulletproof. The first shot actually hit me. Right here.” He pointed at his lower abdomen and my eyes widened in realization.“That's why there was blood everywhere and it made my fake death even more believable. The rest of the bullets bounced off and didn't touch me. I had no idea that Bea
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 166
OWEN'S POVI stood there in shock and confusion as I looked around for Ethan's dead body. Could Caleb have taken his body with him? But there was no sign of a bloody body being dragged on the floor.“Papa!” I heard Charlotte cry out as she saw my parents lying in each other's cold arms and I pulled her to me to stop her from moving forward.“Stop looking. They're probably happy where they are now. They died in each other's arms, that's probably what they wanted.” I said softly as I wiped the lone tear that trailed down my cheeks.“I need to find Ethan's body. He was just here when I left…” My voice trailed off when Roselia burst into a loud cry and crouched on the floor.“Where is he? At least let me tell him goodbye! What did you do to his body?” She yelled at no one in particular and my heart clenched in pain as I walked up to her side.I crouched down and hugged her to comfort her and I relaxed a bit when she wrapped her arms around me and wept like a child.I looked up at Charlott
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 165
OWEN'S POV“Ethan!”My eyes flung open in an instant and I groaned when I felt pain in my lower abdomen. I was alive. I made it out alive. But they didn't…“Owen! You're awake.” I heard Charlotte's voice call out to me and I turned my head to see her pretty face show up beside me and she held my hand tightly.“I told you I'll be fine. I always keep my promises, princess.” I said weakly with a faint smile and she helped me sit up, worry evident on her face as my face twisted in pain.“I have to go check on them… I need to see if they're really dead… I-”“No, Owen. You'll stay here and heal. I'll go and check up on them. I haven't told Rose anything about it yet. You have to rest.” She pleaded but I shook my head strongly.“We can't hide it from her forever. We have to tell her now.” I said.“Tell me what?” I heard Roselia say as she walked in with a basket of fruits and Charlotte had a look of panic on her face.“There's something I have to tell you,” I said as I struggled to stand up
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 164
CHARLOTTE'S POVI couldn't stop the tears from falling down my face as I watched my husband get wheeled into the operating room. He had held my hand firmly even though he was unconscious before the nurses detached our hands and took him in.I pulled my hair in despair as I sat down and stared at the floor. If what Caleb said was true, then that means… Ethan and Beatrice were dead. How would I tell this to Roselia?They were supposed to get married soon-I burst into tears as the thought of everything made my heart clench in pain. Caleb had been arrested by the police but it wasn't enough. He has to die too.My phone was shattered in Caleb's house and I had no way of reaching out to anyone. I couldn't leave the hospital since I had to be by Owen's side whenever he woke up.I knew Roselia's digits by heart but could I actually bring myself to call her? What would I tell her? How would I break the news to her?Would I tell her: “Oh, hey, your husband-to-be died while trying to save my hu
