Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 49
CHARLOTTE'S POVMy whole life crumbled right in front of me as his words shattered my heart. I stood there as I stared at the door, waiting for him to come back and tell me he was kidding. Rose came up to me and tried to take me back to the bed but I shrugged her hands off, my eyes glued to the door. He's definitely coming back. “Char-”“He was kidding, right? He- he just said that to teach me a lesson, right? He's gonna come back in and tell me he was kidding, right?” I asked as I looked at her and the look on her face told me that I was wrong. “Rose, tell me he's coming back! He loves me! He wouldn't marry Catherine, right?” I yelled as I started to lose grip of my consciousness. Rose's worried voice calling out to me was the last thing I heard before everything went blank. When I opened my eyes, it was dark and the room was empty. I sat up and called out for Rose but no one answered me. I burst into tears as fear gripped me and to make things worse, the door creaked open and s

OWEN'S POVThe doctor sitting across me stared at me like I was some alien from space and it almost made me laugh. I don't blame him, my request was… one of a kind.“Mr Owen, do you realize what you just asked me? You want to lose your memory?” He raised a brow at me and I nodded affirmatively.“Not everything, Doc. Just the memories of these last few weeks. I want to forget everything that happened from two weeks ago till now. Is that too much to ask?” I questioned as I leaned back on the chair, my eyes fixed on his.“Why do you want to lose your memory, Sir?” He inquired and I sighed, my heart hurting at the thought of what happened.“My wife hurt me and everytime I think about it, it hurts me. So I want to forget it.” I said and he nodded, he probably understood what I'm feeling.“Why don't you find other means to help yourself stop hurting?” He gave me a strange look and I raised a brow at him.“What ways? Drinking doesn't help. Crying doesn't make me feel better. What else can I

CHARLOTTE'S POV I almost burst into tears as I heard Owen crying. I was awake when he came in but I couldn't bring myself to face him so I pretended to be asleep. I'm so grateful that that crazy stunt I pulled earlier didn't take my life.Different thoughts filled my mind and since I could do something as crazy as overdose myself, why not just listen to my head?I moved slightly to get his attention as I opened my eyes and he stared at me in happiness.“Who are you?” I asked and his expression changed into that shock as his mouth hung open. I don't know why I said that. What am I doing? Why in the world am I trying to act like I lost my memory?“Charlotte, you don't remember me?” He asked as he observed my face and I decided to continue with the act. Maybe he'll hate me less if I don't remember anything that happened.“How do you know my name? Why are you holding my hand? Why am I in the hospital?” I asked again and he just stared at me, hurt and concern written all over his face.I

OWEN'S POVI walked up to Charlotte as I took her hands in mine and gently caressed the ring on her finger.“What are you doing? Let me go!” She pulled her hand from mine like she was repelled by my touch. “I'm sorry… it has become a habit of mine to always take your hands in mine.” I confessed and she eyed me like I was a weird alien from space.“Are you trying to mess with me, sir? It's evident from the way you look that you're a wealthy person and so you must have lots of work to do, right? Why then have you decided to find pleasure in toying with me?” She questioned, her tone full of accusation and frustration and I shook my head immediately.“I'm not toying with you, Charlotte.” I started, my voice soft and gentle as I sat down in front of her.“You lost your memory, that's why you don't remember me. We're married, Charlotte. Not like a regular marriage though, we got married through a contract.” I explained and her eyes widened as she stared at me in confusion and disbelief.“W

CHARLOTTE'S POV I laid in bed, not knowing what to do anymore. How did I underestimate Owen's love for me? He intentionally cropped out the part where we fought and me overdosing myself so that I don't get hurt. I know I'm taking this amnesia thing too far but I have to make it look very believable. I sat up as the doctor walked in and I didn't see Owen with him. Where did he go? “How do you feel, Miss Charlotte?” He asked and I contemplated telling him the truth. He's a doctor after all and he might find out later. “Doc, where's my husband?” I asked, my voice as low as a whisper. He had a look of surprise on his face as he stared at me. “He's having a talk with someone outside. Do you know him as your husband?” “Actually… I didn't lose my memory.” I confessed and his eyes widened as he took a seat in front of me. “Why then did you lie? Why are you pretending to have amnesia?” He questioned, his voice dropping to a hushed whisper as well and I felt grateful for his understandi

OWEN'S POVI watched her as she slept, an effect of the injection she received a few minutes ago. I smiled to myself as I recalled the last words she said to me before she fell asleep. “You're that old?” She asked and my expression fell, I knew she was going to be disappointed in my age. “You don't look like forty though. You sure know how to maintain yourself, I'll give you credit for that.” She complimented and a smile formed on my face. “I'm sorry…” She suddenly apologized and I raised a brow in surprise. “What for?”“I know it isn't easy for you given that I don't remember you. I just want you to know that it isn't easy for me either. I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that I don't remember what happened two months ago and it's evident that I'm trying to take it out on you. I'm sorry about that.”I chuckled at how cute she was and raised my hand to ruffle her hair but then I decided against it and dropped it back to my side. “There's nothing to apologize for. I know i

CHARLOTTE'S POV The journey back to Owen's house was silent and awkward. Rose sat beside me while Owen drove and the silence made me very uncomfortable but I couldn't do anything about it.Rose found out that I was faking my amnesia and she couldn't believe her ears. She wouldn't stop telling me about how disappointed she is in me because I've been doing crazy things and making crazy decisions these last few days.She was gonna tell on me but I was able to convince her and she decided not to. Since then, she has not spoken to me and I didn't know what to do to make it up to her.It's not like I'm doing all these on purpose, why is she not understanding me? I just don't want my husband to hate me anymore.Owen noticed the feud between both of us and I'm sure it made him uncomfortable but he couldn't do anything about it because he didn't even know what's happening and I'm sure that Rose wouldn't tell him what happened either.“Are you ladies okay?” He asked with a worried look on his

OWEN'S POVI stared at the soup brewing on the gas cooker and I took that time to think about how things were going. Charlotte was resting upstairs, and I was grateful that she was fine, even though the memories of what happened still haunted me.I still didn’t know how to feel about everything. The hospital, the amnesia, her ex-boyfriend, it was all so sudden and overwhelming.Yet, despite the confusion, a part of me was happy. Happy that we could start afresh without the pain of what happened controlling us.My phone buzzed on the counter, pulling me out of my thoughts and I quickly wiped my hands on a towel, as I reached for it, glancing at the screen and I saw that it was Roselia. A frown creased my brow because I hadn’t expected her to call with the way she left the house earlier. I hesitated for a moment before answering.“Hey, Roselia. What’s up?” I answered as I tried to keep my voice casual and friendly but even I could hear how wary I sounded.“Owen, we need to talk.” Her v

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
