LOVE AND LIES: THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE'S RETURN CHAPTER 23
GAIAYou have got to be kidding me. How could this happen? How could I have taken his phone without knowing? I stood in my room that night wondering how the hell this could have happened. I knew it was when we bumped into each other but the chances of this ever happening were very slim. But it happened. And it was already really late. I have no idea if he has noticed yet because he was a busy person and he didn't have the time to look at his phone a lot. Another reason why I was panicking was because I'd used Juan's picture as my screensaver and the moment he sees that, he would want to know more. So I might as well just believe that he had seen it already. Gosh, why did I have to bump into him? The door opened, and Bella walked in. “Hey, you're back early. How was your day?”I let her come in and sit down before I started telling her anything. As soon as she was seated, I told her everything without leaving a single thing out..“Woah, that's a lot. But then, what's wrong with

GAIA There was a problem. I didn't know how exactly I was going to find out the truth. Also, I needed to get my phone back from Javon. I had called my phone and sure enough, he had picked it up immediately. He had seen the pictures on my phone and he wanted to meet up with me. I'd ask him to just drop the phone in the house or just mail it to me but he refused, saying that he wanted to speak to me about something. There was nothing to say to him. The kid wasn't his. After all, he had killed the only one that was. Regarding the court case, I was going to start with Sergeant Clay and speak to him. He’s the one who started everything so I would want to speak to him first. He was in a meeting right now, so I had to wait, and then my phone rang. Well, Javon's phone actually. “Hello? Who's this?” “Miss Everly, is this you?” My shoulders relaxed a little. “Yes, it is. Good day, Mr Quinten.” I heard him sigh heavily. “I’ve been trying to get to you until my se

GAIAI wanted to meet up with Javon in an open place but then the sight of seeing the opposing lawyer in a court case with the culprit wasn't exactly the way I wanted to start my career. So we ended up meeting in his car. “I just need my phone, Javon. That's all. There's nothing to speak to you about.”He brought the phone out and handed it to me. “Are you sure there isn't?”I brought out his phone and the screen lit up. It was a picture of me he had used as his screensaver. I didn't want to pay attention to it because I was sure he had done it on purpose. After all, he wanted to mess with my head. “There isn't, Javon. What do you want to hear? That he's yours? Don't be ridiculous.”“Then who's child is he, Gaia? Who? I know you didn't get remarried, I know you didn't cheat on me so who's child is he?”I hadn't planned out what to tell him because I didn't think he would be finding out this early so there was nothing to fear. “Javon, what if I say he's yours? What do you think wi
LOVE AND LIES: THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE'S RETURN CHAPTER 26
GAIAI did believe Javon. I was reasonable. Even though I hated him, I also hated injustice and lies and that was what I was seeing right now. He had been set up somehow and I was going to find out how. Time was running out. Right now, I have just six days left to find out the truth in time for the trial. And I was nowhere close to getting proof. “What are you going to wear?”I looked at Bella as she stood in the kitchen..“What are you talking about? Wear to where?”She stopped cooking and turned around to look at me. “Seriously? The gala is tonight!”Shit! The gala! How on earth could I have forgotten that? “It completely slipped my mind, Bella. I'm so screwed.”She walked away and stood at the bottom of the stairs. “Juan! Come down for breakfast!” Then she walked back to me. “You’re not screwed. There's still time. It's just eight am. I have a person for things like this, so I'll call the makeup artist and hairstylist to be here while we go shopping, and when we get back,

GAIABella had asked if Mr Quinten would be picking me up but I had no idea. I would have liked to think that, but we hadn't spoken about it earlier, so I had no idea. So I asked Evan to drive me there. It wasn't my first time attending a gala or a social event of this kind but I was nervous. My phone rang while I was in the car. It was Mr Quinten. “Where are you, Miss Everly?” ”Oh um, in my car on my way to the event. Are you there yet?”Was I late? I could have sworn that he said seven pm. “No, you're not late.” Did I say that out loud? “You’re just in the wrong car. I should be the one driving you to that event. How do you think it will look if we show up in different cars ?”It wasn't my fault he didn't say anything about picking me up. I felt like I was being scolded. “Where are you right now?”I looked outside the window. “We’re close to the venue, but not exactly there yet. Are you close?”“Tell your driver to stop. I'll make my way to you.”He ended the call before I c

GAIAHe led me down a flight of stairs with my hand in his and everything in me recoiled at his touch and I just wanted to remove my hand from his and just run away. But I decided to be calm and just wait for the right moment. He led me to a group of men who were laughing loudly. Almost everyone in this circle had white hair, was pot-bellied, and had a woman on his arm. I kept telling myself not to mistakenly blurt out something because of my anger. “Gentlemen, the kid has arrived.”They all turned to look at him, and I watched him shrink in front of them. He looked so stiff. “Good evening, gentlemen. I'm delighted to have been invited to dine with you.” Nobody said anything and they noticed they all looked to one man for a response. The man stepped forward, clutching a wine chute in one hand. “Jacob, you made it.” He shook Mr Quinten's hand firmly, not letting his eyes waver for a moment. The air was intense. He walked back to where he was standing before. “Gentlemen, this

GAIA I came out of the room first, looking around to make sure that no one saw me. When I made sure, I ran, forgetting that I was supposed to be coming from the toilet so I made my way back to the toilet so it would look like I was coming from there. As I entered the toilet, there was no one there so I quickly washed my hands and cleaned the stain off the dress. Thankfully, it was a black dress, so the stain wouldn't show,, but I had to make it believable. As I stood there, I thought about what Javon and I had spoken about and it made me think about what we had planned to do. The door to one of the stalls opened and out walked the woman in the vomit dress. What were the odds? No one said anything as we washed our hands and we locked eyes in the mirror several times. Why was she looking at me like that? Either way, it was none of my concern. I grabbed my purse to walk out and that's when I heard her voice. “You know you're divorced right?”At first, it didn't sound like she wa

GAIAA couple of minutes before….“Why did you call me up here? Don't you know someone might see us?” I scolded Javon.”I'm sorry. I just knew I couldn't speak to you in person or on the phone and I needed to tell you something.”Well, I need to tell you something as well. “That makes two of us. Sit.”Knowing that he was innocent changed things because I now felt like I was the reason this case went this far. But now wasn't the time for regrets. I would fix this. “Who did you come here with?”“Jacob.”He didn't have any expression at first, but then he raised an eyebrow, indicating that he didn't know who I was talking about. “Jacob Quinten. Your step-brother.”His realization took a minute and he suddenly looked away when it clicked. “Jacob. How did you meet him? Are you guys now dating?*I scrunched my face. “What? No! No way in hell.”I would rather remain single than date that asshole. It was very obvious he wasn't trained to treat women because if he was, then he would know
