Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 68
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

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

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

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

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

Aiden Fear seemed to seep inside every part of me as her eyes met mine. I stood there still with every inch of me aching. "I don't know what to say to you Aiden," her voice and face clearly telling how disappointed she felt in me. "I'm sure your mother would be very much disappointed in you, much more than I'm with you. I never expected this from you," she sighed. "All through these years I have always thought of you to be as an intelligent and kind one but clearly, you really aren't., her words only mad eme fell ashamed of myself. I couldn't look at her. All I could do was just lower my eyes. "I have no idea about what I should do with you or say to you right now. I have so much on my plate and what you did," she sighed her disappointment in me was evident in the way she looked at me. I had just not only let her down but also my mother too. When this news got to her ears, I was sure that she would disown me. She would be really hurt knowing what I had done. There was no way I wo

Valerie Aiden never backed down from his promise. Every day he proposed to me even if he remembered it at an ungodly hour. There wasn't a day skipped. He pampered me, put me first and I kind of expected for it to go for six months and then come to an end but it never did. He never stopped loving me and spoiling me and our kid. Six months passed and they did very fast with Neal and everyone else just trying to be with him. The house was filled with someone or other and then mom and dad moved out but Travis moved in. Every day had been a new day filled with new experiences, some good some bad. One of them was Neal's first word which wasn't mama or dada but poop. I was really surprised when he said that, kind of laughed out loud at that but minutes later I didn't find it funny. He had really popped. I was kind of glad he learned that word first then any other word. At least he could warn us before bombing the diaper. Aiden missed his first word but Neal's first step was taken with him. A

Valerie "Hey, it’s just me," He said while standing up and coming close to me."You just scared me. What are you doing here the rest of the people are out there. They will be waiting for us." I rushed out on the last few words."They can wait for a moment. You know I have to do our daily custom right now." He said smiling. He took out a box from his pocket and went down his knee."Are you ready for this Val?" I nodded trying to seem normal as I always did."Valerie Crawford would you please marry me and give me the immense pleasure of being your husband." He proposed like he did every day from the past two years. You guys must be confused let me explain it to you and give you a recap.So I hope you might remember him asking me to marry him when our baby boy was born. Well, things didn't happen the way Aiden wanted."Please marry me now," He pleaded with tears in his eyes getting on his knees while our baby screamed for attention. I was on the verge of saying yes but the cries of the

Valerie "I think you should get changed, Val. You smell like vegetables." Carmen said to me laughing and I seriously smelled myself. I stink and reeked of spices and boiled vegetables. It wasn't a pleasant smell people."Thanks, you sure you won't need my help for a while because I seriously have got to take a bath," I asked her in hopes that she won't have more work for me. It was mean and bad for me to pray for something like that but handling a toddler while working and preparing for an event wasn't easy. I needed a relaxing bath."Sure honey, I'm mostly done here. The meat is cooking and I will be just taking that pie out and leaving it to rest. I myself would be heading to play with my grandson." She told me and I felt less guilty. I was so thankful for her handling everything like a pro. She shooed me away to my room to take a bath and told me not to worry at all. I entered Aiden's and my room. I had renovated it up to my and Aiden's tastes just a few months back with Neal's ro

ValerieAlmost 2 Years later............"Granpa!," Neal squealed running towards the door just to be picked up by Travis and hauled up in the air. Every time he did that I could feel my heart in my mouth. It was only when he would catch him I would breathe a sigh of relief."Dad, what did I tell you about doing that to him?" Travis looked almost guilty under that smile of his. Over the past two years, I have decided to call both of them dad. I was so tired of calling them by their names. At first, it was confusing but then they certainly got the hang of whom I was calling."He is fine Val and he loves when I do that. Don't you champ?" He asked Neal who only gave me a big smile. That boy was getting spoiled bad. I shook my head and saw Carmen and Bryan coming behind Travis."Neal!" Bryan yelled with excitement and that boy was moving from Travis's arms to Bryan's who kissed him all over his face making him laugh. Carmen and Bryan got married six months after Neal was born. It was real

"Are you alright?" Shay asked with worry etched over her face. She had been ignoring her work for past few weeks to stay with me as Aiden had some important project having him stay at the office for a while. Travis was at his office and Bryan with Carmen had gone to the restaurant to check the new supplies that were coming in today. It was only me and Shay and I really didn't want her to worry about me a lot. She was going to develop wrinkles."Yeah, just catching my breath. You know getting up straight is also a tiresome task nowadays. How about you help me sit straight I feel like going to the bathroom. My bladder is going to blast." I laughed trying to ease her worries as she helped me stand I felt the pain again but decided to ignore it. With a slow pace like that of a snail, I reached to my room and walked into the bathroom. As soon as I sat on the pot I felt water rushing out of me. I thought I just peed and was thankful of reaching bathroom on time until the pain hit me making

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

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

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

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
