Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 79
CHARLOTTE'S POVCatherine.What was she up to this time? I was about to call Owen to tell him about it when another message dropped in. “It’s urgent. Don’t tell anyone. Not even Owen.”I frowned as I read the message over again. What could she possibly want? A voice in my head warned me not to trust her, that she was up to no good. But another part of me, the part that loved Owen and wanted to do everything to help him, reasoned that maybe Catherine had something very important to say. Something that could be of help to save him from all the chaos happening at work. After minutes of thinking, I made up my mind. I grabbed my coat and rushed out of the house. Beatrice saw me and tried to ask where I was going but I just smiled at her and left the house. I'd have to keep this a secret from Owen. He had enough on his mind already, and if I could handle this on my own without worrying him, I would. As I made my way to Owen’s office, my mind kept racing. What did Catherine want? Was i

CHARLOTTE’S POV I felt my legs lose contact with the ground as I fell backward but to my surprise, a hand held mine and stopped me from falling. I was pulled back immediately and my eyes widened as I saw who saved me. It was… Catherine. She had a soft smile on her face as she chuckled and pulled me away from the railing. My heart was still pounding harshly in my chest. I had almost died. I thought I had gotten used to the feeling of almost dying but each one was always scarier than the rest. “Why did you-”“Why did I save you?”“No, why did you push me!?” I pushed her away from me as I glared at her and she raised her hands, a small smirk tugging on her face. “I literally just saved your life. Is this how you say thank you?” She asked as she raised an eyebrow and I scoffed in anger. “Oh, so I'm supposed to bow to you and worship you for saving my life? If you hadn't tried to push me, you wouldn't have needed to save my life!” I yelled, my anger getting the better part of me an

OWEN'S POVI walked into my office and slammed the door shut, anger and frustration taking over my entire being. I looked at the clock and it was a few minutes to eleven. The meeting or whatever I had gone for lasted for only twenty minutes but I couldn't bring myself to leave the cafe.I felt paralyzed and dumbstruck there. It wasn't until the waitress told me to order something or leave that I finally came to my senses and left. My head was aching badly and I felt like ripping it off so that I could finally feel better. My phone buzzed with a message and I almost flung the phone across the room. “I'm tired!” I yelled as I placed my head in my hands. “I don't want these messages anymore!”“Just leave me alone…” I mumbled as I broke down. I realized that tears were falling from my eyes and I just let them. I was tired, exhausted, frustrated, broken. Why is this happening to me? Why are they after me? There was a knock on the door but I stayed silent. I didn't want to see anyone r

OWEN'S POVI paced around in front of Charlotte as I tried not to get angry. Why would she make such a risky decision? “What were you thinking? Catherine asked you to see her and you actually did? Have you forgotten everything that she did to you?” I questioned and she immediately looked down as she fidgeted with her hands. “She said it was about you and that it was urgent. I knew I could risk it so I did.” She said softly but I just couldn't bring myself to calm down. “You believed her? And what? What did she do to you? She tried to push you from the rooftop! What would have happened if she didn't hold you back? You would…” I couldn't complete the statement as the image of Charlotte laying on the ground, covered in blood, lifeless flashed through my head and it made me sick. “I'm sorry hubby… I just- I wanted to help you in any way that I could. You wouldn't let me in, so I had to find a way.” She tried to explain but it still didn't stop me from feeling angry. “Still! It's Cat

CHARLOTTE'S POVOwen had dropped me off at home while he and Caleb went to see the person that bought the company's shares. I was suspicious about it though. It shouldn't be so easy to get. Hope they're not walking their way into danger… I flipped through the files in the room as I thought of what to do. I might be useless to Catherine because I know nothing about business. But that was going to change. I couldn’t just sit back and watch him endure it all alone. I had to do something. I knew this was only the beginning of a long battle. Owen still had responsibilities on his shoulders. Even if they successfully tracked down the buyer, there was still the issue of rebuilding the company from the loss it had undergone. I wanted to be part of that. No, I needed to be part of that. I wanted to prove to Owen, to Catherine, and to myself, that I could be by his side through everything, not just emotionally, but practically too.The moment I got the password of his laptop, which was su

OWEN'S POVI got out of the car, wanting nothing but to bury myself in the arms of my wife. But I stopped in my tracks when I saw my mom and Catherine standing in front of her. She looked cornered. My happy expression dropped as my mom ran towards me with a panicked expression on her face. “She hit me!” She cried out and Catherine nodded immediately in response as she rushed to my mom and comforted her. I turned to Charlotte and she looked dumbstruck. Her mouth was wide open and she stared at my mom in amusement. “Is that true, Charlotte?” I asked, my voice low and cold and she glanced up at me in shock. I raised a brow at her and she only looked more amused. “If I say it's true, would you believe me?” She questioned and I finally let out a chuckle. I couldn't even pretend to be mad at her. I'm too smitten. “Even if you say it's true, I'd still take your side anyway.” I walked past my mom and walked up to her as I held her waist and pulled her closer. She chuckled and a look of

CHARLOTTE'S POVMy heart dropped at his dull countenance. I knew it… it can't be that easy. They're being manipulated right now… “Whoever the person was, he played with us. He didn't show up. We waited there for hours. He kept lying that the traffic was the only thing stopping him from getting to us. But after hours had passed, I just couldn't wait anymore. I had to leave.”He let out a frustrated sigh as his grip on me tightened but I didn't complain. He was going through a lot and I'd gladly be his stress ball. “Why don't you file a lawsuit against him? It's your company after all. We could get a very skilled and professional lawyer that'll help.” I suggested and he looked like he was thinking deep about something. “You're right. I would talk to father about that. He promised to help me find a lawyer anyway. All of this only happened because of him.” He grumbled and I chuckled softly as I rubbed his head softly. “Are you hungry? I could cook up something quick.” I asked and he s

OWEN'S POVI couldn't stop myself from getting excited. I listened attentively as Charlotte explained everything that she had read. And she was right. It was almost like my situation. Except it was his biological sister that tried to bring him down. Lucky me, I don't have a sister. “So, how did he end up getting his shares back?” I asked and she went to get the laptop and then placed it in front of him. “Here, it said that he was only able to retrieve the stolen shares because his father was the real owner of the company. He hadn't written his will at that time. And without the father's signature or consent, no transfer of shares or positions can be made.”I fell into deep thought as I reread it over and over again. It did make sense… but it was suspicious. “Apparently, they found an attorney that was able to defend this and they won back the shares with an extra fine worth millions of dollars.” She explained and I pondered on it. “Cupcake, I don't know if you're thinking what I'

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

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

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

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
