Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 67
Valerie The revelation hit me like a seismic shock, an earthquake shaking the very foundations of my understanding. "It is your freaking secretary, Melanie!" Shay's words echoed in my mind, a refrain of disbelief that I couldn't shake off. Melanie, the sweet, cute, and understanding secretary who had been over the moon about Laura and Drew's wedding, was the architect of their impending downfall. The irony of it all was staggering. She had worshipped them as a couple, and now she was the one who had orchestrated their public humiliation. I sat there, my mind racing to process this unexpected betrayal. I had always considered Melanie an ally, someone who would be on Laura and Drew's side. The thought that she had played me, deceived me, left me double-shocked. I had anticipated backlash when the truth about my involvement in exposing Laura and Drew came out, but I never expected Melanie to be the one pulling the strings. "God, I think I need to sit down," I muttered to my dad as my

Valerie Sitting there with my dad I thought about my converstaion with him, the weight of his words still lingered heavily on my mind. It doesn't happen often where he opens up like that, setting out his vulnerabilities and regrets out in the open. But today he did and his words struck a chord deep within me."Val, you are happy right," he asked once again and for a second I just looked at him. "I am, dad," I paused. "I am way happier than what one can expect," I told him, and it was true because deep down I really was happy. Despite the stormy events that had occured, there was a strange sense of peace settling deep inside within me. At last the truth had been out and revealed, justice was served, and it felt like a burden was lifted from my shoulders. Drew's betryal and deception, Laura's salvation, and the support of all those who believed me, all of it contributed to a sense of relief, though it was filled with too many unexpected events. My dad's gentle smile and pat pat on the

Aiden The annoying shrilling noise of my phone sliced through the early morning silence, jolting me from my slumber sleep. My hand moved in the darkness, searching blindly for the phone. I swear I was looking at it later night. It was supposed to be on my bed somewhere. Finally, my fingers closed around the phone, and as I picked it up my eyes squinted looking at the screen, still bleary-eyed from sleep. I swear to god if it was Drew, I was going to bury him somewhere but if it was some spam caller I was going to ruin that company. However when I looked clearly at the screen I realized that it was Travis. His name flashed insistently, cutting through the haze of confusion that enveloped my mind because of sleep. Why on earth would he be calling me at this ungodly hour? Then it hit me out of the blue that he would only be calling me because of Laura. My heart lurched with sudden dread and worry. Had something happened to Laura? The thought put me into action immediately, and without
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 70
Aiden The echoing roar of Laura's voice echoed through the mansion as I stepped into the living room after Travis. The morning paper, stained with the drips of the coffee someone had spat out upon reading it, lay in scatter at the table. The shock of seeing the news about the affairs in black and white on newsprint was enough to make me want to spill the contents of my stomach. the more I read, the more my anger rose. The story written on the paper was just not about the writer's harship or of Valerie; it was a damning exposure on Drew and his affiars. He had been having numerous of affairs and engaing in them even now. I knew he was betraying Laura's trust. Val, knew all about of his infidelity, was a target of his gfea, he had tried to keep her mouth shut. Drew had even dared to manipulate me, saygn that all he wanted was to protect Laura from the harsh realilty and Val, but it was all a lie to save himself and not feel guilty. The revelation of him termination his own child left
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 71
Aiden I stood there, stunned and powerless, as the events unfolded in front of me like a tragic play, each scene more disastarous and powerful than the last. The shockwaves from the booming sound of a hand connecting with skin echoed through the room, leaving an unsettling silence in its awake. I was going to put some sense into Drew, but Laura's father beat me to it. Laura's father had always been Drew's advocate, standing by his side in every situation, even when Laura herself couldn't muster the strength to do so. But now, in this moment, that loyalty came out in a physical blow, a desperate attempt to confront the truth that had been lurking in the shadows for far too long. Ira, Laura's mother, broke the heavy silence with a question that hung in the air like a storm cloud. "You have met her?" she asked, her gaze piercing through the room. Even I too stood there shocked knowing that he had met Valerie. Silently, I observed Laura's father, he was still reeling from the shocking
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 72
Aiden "Are you going to answer?" Ira's voice boomed in the hall. Laura's father just tsood there looking at her almost on the verge of tears. "Because I have seen the proof now. It was hard to believe, okay?" he tried to hold himself but I could see that he too was breaking under the accusatory gaze of his wife. "I just thought she was just some crazy shitty woman who wanted Drew and his money and was spreading rumours, but I was wrong. As I looked at the things that were sent off to Laura, everything clicked in the right place and I understood that things were not how always thought them to be." He didn't stutter this time but there was an underlying fear in his voice. "If you would have just told me about this and Val's rumours, this, right now wouldn't have happened. Unlike you, I wouldn't have just pushed it away! I would have gotten to the bottom of it, unlike you, who just shut it all away by believing in that asshole who stands right there!" Her fingers pointed towards Dr

Aiden "Travis!" Laura and Ira both screamed at the same time, but it wasn't of any use. Both of their screams fell on deaf ears because Travis couldn't damn hear anything in his rage and anger. His first fist punch came out of the blue for me and hit me right under my right eye. I couldn't evade it at all and when his fist connected with my face it hurt so bad that all I could hear was ringing in my ears. "Oh, God," I heard someone say but I couldn't see who it was. The pain I was going through was much more than anything I had ever felt. I tried to evade his attack, to move away from him, to bring some distance between us but it was of no use because Travis' fists came one after another like he was fucking machine. He didn't stop for a second. Moreover, there was no use in stopping them because in the end, he wouldn't. Those punches were coming straight from a father, whose daughter I had hurt the most. "Goddammit. Stop it, Travis!" Ira roared, screaming at the rop of her lungs, ma
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 74
Aiden "Travis, please stop this now!" Ira's screams had him stop in a moment. "I deserve it," Laura's father, Davis mumbled still lying on the floor shocked by what had happened. His own brother had punched him. When he said that he deserved it, he really did. He had told lies about him to his daughter, to Val, and painted him in dark colors in front of her. By all I know of Val, she might have been hating him by now. How could a brother do this to his own blood? "How could you threaten her, Davis?" Travis roared, his temper even making me flinch. "How could you do this to me?" He asked in disbelief with tears welling up in his eyes. "Have I ever been cruel to Laura?" his voice trumbled even making my heart lurch seeing him like this. " I have always treated her like my own because deep in my heart I have always thought her to be my daughter. For me she came first, her happiness came first and that is why I had always made sure that she was happy even when I wasn't happy with her c

Valerie "I feel like a whale," I told to Shay, who sat at the end of the sofa while I laid on the couch with the remote for the tv. I was going to be around nine months pregnant in a week and this little buddy was going to come out soon. A lot has changed in last six months. I was no longer living in my apartment. Bryan had bought a new house which was closer to Travis and Aiden's house.The nursery was ready with hues of yellow and blue. Aiden and I had grown close but there had been nothing more than kisses and holding each other. The new house had many rooms and one of them was Aiden’s but he usually slept with me. He didn't go to his apartment often and just stayed here with me. He didn't want to miss any part of the baby and me being pregnant. He had warmed up to my heart, but hadn't been able to get that place back in my heart. His relationship with his mother was still rocky but they were at least talking. Whereas Laura and Aiden had drifted worlds apart.Laura had a breakdown
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 102
ValerieGod, this had to happen with me only. I groaned internally. this was right embarrassing. I felt Aiden sleeping on my legs with his hand feeling heavy on my belly. Besides it, I realize one more thing which was that I was going to puke. I felt it was coming, I knew it was and before I know I quickly pushing Aiden away and rushing to the bathroom kissing the porcelain seat. I puked and puked then brushed my teeth, gargled with mouthwash to get rid of that vile taste of bile. Being pregnant was not an easy task. "You have been caught red handed Aiden." It was Shay who was talking when I reached back to the living room. Aiden was on the floor rubbing his head. In my run to the bathroom, I might have pushed him a little too hard. Carmen stared at him while Shay busy staring at his share of uneaten food and smoothie. "I think we should have clicked the picture of the two together first," Carmen spoke without caring about the food. "Carmen she was eating mozzarella sticks and d
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 101
Aiden held my face and kissed me. I was stunned. I should have pulled back but I couldn't. I just couldn't. I was responding to his kiss, tasting our tears in it. Our kiss was passionate, our lips hungry for each other. It was a kiss filled with love and passion but yet soft. I could feel every part of my body needing his touch. It was wrong and yet it felt so right to do it. I was being lifted and pushed on my back. Our kiss never breaking. His torso in between my legs and my legs wrapped around him. His face in my hand and he took control over our kiss. Our tongues danced in sync. I was breathing heavily, I was feeling a need and then suddenly out of nowhere Laura popped up in my mind and the moment was lost from my side. My body stilled. My lips no longer responding to his and we break apart from our kiss. His eyes looked into mine searching for what stopped me. "What happened Val?" He asked concerned and worried. I closed my eyes and touch my lips. I knew that kiss we just had wa
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 100
Valerie "You... you what?" I finally managed to choke out."I didn’t know what else to do," he said, tears streaming down his face. "She was crying, Val. She was so upset, and I just wanted to make it better. I thought if I agreed, she’d be happy, and things would calm down. But I didn’t mean it. I don’t want to marry Laura. I don’t want to be with anyone but you."His words swirled around in my mind, but I couldn’t make sense of them. He had agreed to marry Laura? How could he do that to me, to us? I felt a surge of anger and betrayal."You agreed to marry her?" I repeated, my voice shaking. "How could you, Aiden? How could you do that to us?""I didn’t mean it," he pleaded. "I was just trying to calm her down. I don’t want to marry Laura. I love you, Val. You and our baby are everything to me.""But you said yes," I said, my voice rising. "You told her you’d marry Laura. Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? Do you even care about what I want, what I need?""Of course, I car

I waited for Aiden to speak something. I wasn;t a patient being but with him I was trying to be. I could see he was fighitng a battle on the inside buit I couldn;t do anytging until he spoke himself. "Mom dropped by the office today," he began. "She demanded to know when I was marrying you," that was literally nothing new. Why ouldn;t the woman get the hint that it wasn;t happening. "I told her it was none of her business, and she went ballistic, telling me that wasn’t the way I should speak to her." I still hated that woman. Travis had made sure she left me alone, even cutting ties with her. Aiden had tried to do the same, but she was his mother, and it was hard for him. I didn’t want him to cut her off for my sake anyway. He had a mother, and although she was mean and self-centered, no son should be separated from his mother. I wouldn;t want my child to be serpated from me like that. "Then she said that if we weren’t getting married, I should marry Laura." I was stunned. I looked

ValerieAs the doorbell rang happiness surged inside of me. At last, my angel came.Opening the door wide my whole concentration was on the packets in his hand rather than on him. Taking the packets for him I just went inside straight to the kitchen without a hello or anything.I just wanted to devour what was inside that packet before Carmen or Shay caught me. Carmen would literally fry me if she knew that I was busy eating fried mozzarella sticks that too with a vanilla chocolate smoothie. I heard the door close and him coming to the kitchen.This had become our norm, I would rush to the kitchen with the food and set each of us with a plate, mine always had a little a more than his. Whatever I ate, he had to eat that too, it was a part in a way for him to become the part of my pregnancy. I hadn;t lied to him when I had said that he would be a part of this preganncy in every step. As I looked up to see where he was I found his near the kitchen door. He stood there smiling at me wi

Valerie Two months later..................."Why," I questioned. "Why now," I was almost near to pnaick. "Why?" My father asked. "What do you mean by why. We are just going to meet each other and Bryan called me here to meet with him, Valerie. I think we should have talked to each other months back." Dad said while standing at the entrance of the house and by dad I meant Travis. I called them both dad but this was going to be first freaking time they were going be together face to face. I won't lie this whole dad one and dad two concept was so confusing for me. I have already told them if they ever were in the same room I will call them by their name rather than Dad. I haven't let them meet each other until now. If you remember when Bryan met Laura's father he beat the shit out of him. I don't want a recap of that with Travis. Gosh I still cringed thinking how beat up Laura's father was after Bryan's beating. "I'm having a bad feeling about this." I really was not going to tend t

Valerie "I.. never knew." a tremble in his voice made me believe that he really had no idea that what had happened."When my father came to know that I wasn't his he decided to hurt my mother by having affairs and dangling them in front of her," I paused taking in deep breaths. "My mother loved my father a lot but she understood what she had done," I continued even though all the memories were painful."She knew that she had hurt him too much, betrayed him. So she decided not to fight with Dad, she fought with the pain she suffered but she didn't give up easily. For four years she lived on knowing how her husband was cheating and hurting her. She lived for me until the day it became too much to handle." A tear escaped my eyes as I remembered finding her dead. The memory was ingrained in my brain for the rest of my life. Looking up to Travis I saw his eyes turned away from mine. He couldn't even look at me anymore.If only he had been brave enough to do the test last time this wouldn'

ValerieI waited for him in the cafe near my office, and let me tell you it was torture. The smell of coffee was in the air and it was hard to not have it. So I did the right thing and ordered one latte for me. I googled and even my doctor said a cup a day won't do any harm but under the watchful eye of Carmen, Shay, and dad I couldn't even have a whiff of coffee. One little sip of it was heaven for me. It had been six days since the thought of meeting him has been taking over my mind. The last I had seen him was a week before.Last night I had asked Aiden for his number when he came home with me. Aiden did really give me space and time. He called before even thinking of coming and he apologized times and again because of his mother showing up here. I really didn't say much about what happened between me and his mother. The only words that slipped my lips was that I didn't like her and he had promised that she won't disturb me anymore. I had called Travis and asked him to meet me at t
