LOVE AND LIES: THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE'S RETURN CHAPTER 15
GAIA I spent the day at home, well most of it anyway. I looked for anything that the media could tell me about the court case but there was little to no news coverage about the issue. Mainly because it had to do with the military and also because it would be a slap on the military's face if it's found out by the public that a civilian made away with weapons..First off, the entire country would be thrown into chaos because they would fear about whose hands those guns would get into and also, it meant the military wasn't reliable anymore. I jumped from site to site, jotting down a few things that seemed important, and decided to ask Mr Quinten about it when I went into the office. Hearing this issue happen seemed like a dream to me because according to the news, his company was dropping and losing money. Of course, they didn't know what was going on exactly, but they could see the statistics, and they knew something was wrong. His company has lost a significant amount of money an

EVELYNIf Javon's appearance did anything to me, it made me more determined to bring him down. I didn't have plans to go to the office the next day but because of him, I went there. Mr Quinten was just on his way out. “Hey, I need to speak to you.” He looked absent-minded and worried. “What do you need? I'm busy right now.”He walked past me so quickly that I had to run after him and follow him into the elevator. “I wanted to ask you some questions about the case. The security footage, can you get it? I read somewhere that Javon's lawyers were saying that the image was not clear enough to identify that it was him."His attention was on his phone and he was typing furiously. “Mr Quieten!”He looked up. “Yes? What did you say?"I had to repeat myself and make sure that he was listening to me this time around. “The footage is tightly secured. If anything happens to it, then all evidence of Javon being connected to this case gets lost. The military is securing it to have their ca

EVELYN I sat in the restaurant with my legs bouncing up and down in anticipation as my heart thudded loudly in my chest. I didn't want to pick up the call, and I breathed out in relief when the first call ended, but before I could continue thinking, the phone vibrated again in my hand, and I couldn't help but be scared. I'd never had a good relationship with my father, even from the start. He'd always hated me and he wasn't afraid to show it. I knew from the time when I started growing up and I noticed the way he treated me differently. My friends always spoke about their fathers and the way they spent time with them and they bought them things. But not my father. My father didn't care for me, he didn't even know I existed until he saw me or I got into trouble. It wasn't even something that I could do anything about. Everything I did was an issue to him. I couldn't go out with my friends, I couldn't have friends over, I couldn't smile or be happy like other kids my age. He expe

JAVON The meeting with the board didn't go so well. Mainly because I wasn't listening and then they kept asking me questions. Today's meeting was for me to explain how the court case was affecting the company. Sales were going down since the public knew that the CEO of the company was in hot water with the military. “It’s not good for the business. it's affecting us. I mean, what will the public say?!”I didn't have the strength to answer these men, especially Mr Bertram who had always been after me. “Let the public say what they want to say. That's why they're the public, their opinions don't matter. Things are under control. Don't make them to be more than they are.”I didn't even want to attend this meeting in the first place because I knew how it was going to go but my assistant made me. My company was going through a lot with the current case against me and it was affecting me greatly. “How can you say a thing like that? They're the reason you have this company in the firs

JAVON I collected the phone from her as she stretched it towards me. I looked at the screen and couldn't believe what I was seeing. “I don't believe this. I would never sleep with you even with a gun pointed to my bead.”I got off the bed and began picking her clothes from the floor and I threw them at her. “Dress up and get out.”I picked up my phone to see ten missed calls from my lawyers. Wonderful, the last thing I needed was more trouble than needed. “Javon, why are you acting like this? I'm not the one who brought myself here. You brought me here, you approached me.”I turned around to face her. “Also, why the hell did you take pictures?”“Because I knew you were going to act like this so I needed proof that I didn't seduce you.”Why did I find that hard to believe? I wanted to say something but I just couldn't remember what it was. I tried to remember at what point I went over to her but my memory stopped at the bar when the bartender came to me. I don't even know how

EVELYN I didn't plan to let him know of my involvement early which is why I was surprised when he saw me outside. But it was all good. Early or not, it still didn't change the fact that I was now the lawyer.I'd received a call last night, saying that Mr Fulham, the man I was supposed to be under, had called in sick and he had asked that I take his place. At first, I couldn't believe what I was hearing because the chances of this happening at this point were so slim, but it had happened, and now, I was here. “Plaintiff, you say you have a witness in court today?”Even though I'd done this many times before, my heart was still beating in my chest as the judge called for me. But I didn't show it. “Yes, your Honor. I do.”I turned to the audience. “Sergeant Clay. Please step forward to the podium.”As the man walked up to the podium, I took that time to steal a glance at Javon. Based on what I'd heard and read, Javon should react.But even as he looked at the man until he got to the

GAIAThis was the first time I was going to be seeing the security footage. The way it was heavily guarded made me wonder what exactly it showed. As he pressed play on the remote, I removed my eyes from the screen and moved to Javon. He still didn't seem fazed, didn't seem like someone who was on trial for doing anything wrong. And it bothered me. As soon as his eyes met mine, I looked back at the screen. For the first few minutes, there was nothing there, and then I saw someone. It was just a figure, just a figure of a man walking into the building. They had got to be kidding me. How did they figure out that it was Javon just from this? I could barely even make out the race of the person because of how disturbed and distorted the video was.There was a storm and this person was covering their face with their jacket. His lawyer paused the video and turned back to Clay. “So, as we can see from that very short clip, we see nothing. It is pretty obvious that it's a man from the b

JAVON “Does that date have any significance to you?”I kept thinking about it as I rode in the car away from the court house. Was it supposed to? I'd tried speaking to her when we were done to ask her why she asked me such a question.“Gaia, please wait up.”Other lawyers were around her and I was skeptical that she might not answer me. They gave me weird looks as they walked away. “What is it, Javon? You know you shouldn't be speaking to me, I'm a lawyer. And not your lawyer.“Listen, I know. I just wanted to ask you something. Why did you ask me if the date meant anything to me?”She rolled her eyes and looked away. “What do you want to hear? I asked you because I needed to know what I would use to bring you down and of course, you didn't remember. What was I expecting? It never meant anything to you.”Before I could process her words, she walked away. What did she mean by the last sentence? Was it supposed to mean something to me?I couldn't get my mind off it.There was some

THIRD PERSON POVHe left Alpha Dimitri's house in anger, storming back to the car and getting in. He wasn't exactly angry that the Alpha didn't take his daughter as a wife. He had been hoping for it too because he knew the Alpha had a wife already and no responsible man would marry two women just months apart. So he was grateful for that at least. But he was still mad about the fact that his daughter was pregnant. Nothing could change that. But another thing that wouldn't change was the fact that his daughter was going to be the other woman and that child would never be the heir. That was something he couldn't allow. He had a reputation to uphold and he wouldn't let this situation mess that up. Since Alpha Dimitri couldn't marry his daughter, then he had to do something he didn't want to. He didn't believe in abortion and he didn't ever think that he would ask his princess to do a thing like this but right now, he didn't have a choice. He couldn't let such a thing happen and me

EDEN I knew from the moment she came from the stairs that something was wrong. From the way she walked to the way she spoke to Roman, I could tell that something was different. Off. Then she looked at me as Roman walked away. Then I confirmed. “Why are you here?”She looked shocked that I had recognised her because her eyes widened.But she knew that there was no need to deny it. “Is it you or is it her?"“It’s me, she's having problems coming out. What are you doing here?" She seemed to relax when she figured out that it was me and she chuckled and fell back on the chair behind her. “So it's you. It's about time we had a discussion. Have a seat."“Don't act like we're friends all of a sudden. What are you doing in my house? And what are you doing in Quinn's body? Where is she?!” What the hell did she do with Quinn?“You might want to reduce your voice. We don't want any of the maids or guards hearing anything about this. Have a seat and then we can talk.” I let out a heavy

LUCIAN At this point, I was being forced what I originally didn't want to. Find out who the mole is. There was no way I would know who told Golden Blade King that we were coming because basically everyone was there that night. All the guards, all the maid and the elders knew so how would I be able to single one person out? “A test.” I looked at Kira as she stood over me while I thought. “What did you say?”“A test, Lucian. You can spread some silly rumor and then watch who leaves the pack. Before, we didn't know that there was a spy but now that we do, we'll be on the look out.”That seemed like it would make sense. I should definitely try that. “What should I say?”“Let's do something outrageous. Let's say the prince has returned with some other kids and they're going to tell us what happened and even take us back to where they were being held.”That made sense and sounded like it would work. “Fine then, you can get on that. I don't know how you want to make it seem natural th

EVELYN I watched her as she walked away, not knowing what exactly to say. My head cleared and I just stood there, replaying her words in my head. Had I heard right? She was behind the attack. Tears gathered in my eyes and I wondered if I should go after her and ask her to explain herself. Why did she have to go that far just to get back at me? Why did she have to do that? If she wanted to kill me, she could have just come up to me and done it without having to put Nathan's life at risk. What if something had happened to him? What if Lucian hadn't come there in time and I had no place to go? Tears fell from my eyes and I slowly made my way upstairs to my room. I wanted to be alone for now, training could wait. If anyone should ask me why I was crying, I wouldn't know what to tell them so it was best that I just went to my room. As I climbed the stairs, I bumped into someone again. What the hell was with me and bumping into people today?Since my head was bent down as I didn't

The sun was coming down when Wayne came out of the building. He'd had a long day and he couldn't wait to get home and lie in his bed. He just wanted to rest after the events of the past week. “Mr Wayne!”“Mr Wayne! Look here! Do you have anything to say concerning the rumors?!” “Are you truly married?"“What is your wife like?” There was a swarm of reporters outside his building and any sleep that Wayne was feeling before was long gone. They were bombarding him with questions and his bodyguards had to come to his aid by pushing them away from him so they wouldn't hurt him. “One question at a time. Calm down.” He finally managed to calm them down and listen to them. “Mr Wayne, what do you have to say about the rumors that you're married?” Wayne sighed. He knew it was going to come out sooner or later. He just wished it would have happened on a day when he wasn't so tired. “I’m happy to assure you that they're all rumors. I'm still a bachelor and I haven't ever been married in

LUCIANKira started working immediately on the information we had. Now, I knew that the only reason why River took Nathan was because he wanted his delusion of a family to be complete. Beneath the picture of River, Nathan had began drawing the picture of someone. The face wasn't complete, probably because he ran out of time but he wrote the word “spy” in very small letters. Kira was she knew who noticed it and showed it to me. I have such a smart boy. So now I know that he spy motion wasn't a goose chase. Nathan knows who the person is or else, he wont have written that. “The pictures have been circulated around the pack. Soon, we'll have news about their girl and who's child she is. In the mean time, more gifts arrived.”I'd spent the last few days, visiting all the kids that had been returned to their parents. Since I wasn't there for them when they were taken, the least I could do was to see them when they were returned. I knew if Eve was here, that's what she'd do. “Lucian,

ROMANI didn't go anywhere today. I wanted to spend the day with my kids, just being with them and playing with them. School was back in session and it felt good that they came back home to me. Since it was just me for now, I didn't have a choice but to look after every aspect of their life even down to little details. Quinn says I should let the maids handle it but I can't. I can't leave my kids to other people to take care of them. I felt the responsibility to be there for them when they needed me. I didn't have anyone to take care of me. My father didn't exactly give two shits when it came to me and I didn't want a life like that for my kids. I wanted them to know that their father thought about them and loved them. My kids were the only reason I did everything I did, they were the reason I worked hard to be a better man.. I wanted to show them just how much I cared about them. As for Eden, I don't even know what to do about it. I didn't know what to say about her and I didn't

ALPHA DIMITRIShe had fallen asleep at some point during the night. After I'd pulled her closer to me, I could feel her body temsedd and even though I told her to relax, I could still hear her rapid breathing.I'd quietly gotten out of bed so as not to wake her up and to disappear before she did. Just as I was done dressing up, there was a knock on the door and I cursed underneath my breath, wondering who the hell that could be and what they could want. Luckily, Ally didn't wake up and I rushed to the door to stop the person from knocking again. “What?!” I spat. It was a maid and she moved back a bit at my tone. “Good morning, Alpha. My apologies for the disturbance but there's someone here to see you."“At this time?” It wasn't even eight in the morning “Who the hell could it be?" “It’s Princess Violet.”What? Violet? After the warning I'd given her yesterday? She still had the guts to ahoe her face here? That woman had some guys. “Tell her that I'm busy. I can't see her righ
