Love Trap: The Billionaire's Regret CH.113
"We're here to make you pay for your crimes."Karl scoffed derisively. He opened his mouth to respond but was cut off by a powerful blow to the jaw from Martin's fist. He recoiled, tasting blood, only to be struck again from the other side by Suga."That's for all the tears Lavinia cried because of you," Martin growled, flexing his hand."And that's for the trauma and terror you put her through, you sick bastard," Suga spat, his chest heaving.They rounded Karl until he was weakened beyond belief. By the time Robert stepped forward, Karl was doubled over and struggling to remain upright. The youngest Carlon brother seized a fistful of Karl's hair, wrenching his head back with a snarl. "And this..." Robert swung his free hand back and delivered a brutal knee straight to Karl's groin, "...Is for raping my sister, you piece of human garbage." The soundproofed walls swallowed Karl's agonized scream as he collapsed into a heap on the floor, clutching his violated body. However,

Lavinia stood outside the familiar towering building, mustering up the courage to enter. After a long internal struggle, she finally made her way inside and approached the help desk. "Good evening!" she greeted the receptionist with a gentle smile. "Mrs. Sulivan, it's been a while since you've visited our company, " the assistant responded in kind. "Yes, it has. I was hoping to catch Karl before he left for the day. Is he still in his office?” Lavinia asked hopefully. The assistant shook her head. “I'm afraid not, Mrs. Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan has already left for home.”“Oh, I see,” Lavinia murmured, confused. “Could you please provide me with his current home address? I'm aware he's moved, but I don't have his new address.”The assistant gave her a puzzled look. How could the boss’ own wife not know his address? “Of course, let me write that down for you.” She quickly jotted down the address on a piece of paper and handed it to Lavinia. “Here you go, Mrs. Sullivan.”"Than

"All done," Lavinia announced after tending to the last of his wounds. She quickly busied herself with packing up the supplies to avoid his burning gaze. When she finally looked up at him again, Karl's eyes were roving shamelessly over her body in a way that made her cheeks flush anew.Lavinia cleared her throat loudly while she pulled out the file from her bag - the whole reason she had come over in the first place. "I'm ready to start the procedures now," she said firmly, holding out the folder towards him.Karl sighed heavily and nodded, reaching out to take the file from her outstretched hand. Instead of opening it, he simply ripped it in half right in front of her, causing Lavinia's eyes to go wide with shock."Why did you do that?" She demanded angrily, snatching the torn halves from his hands.Rather than answer, he stood up stiffly, wincing at the pain shooting through his body and walked away towards the kitchen. "Karl! Answer me!" Lavinia called after him, hurrying

The warm afternoon sun cast a lazy glow over the Carlon family's backyard as Lavinia and Talia lounged on the patio, sipping lemonade and enjoying the gentle breeze.They idled away, talking about Talia's latest N*****x fixation, the absurd gas prices these days, and other such topics.Lavinia could no longer contain the words bubbling up inside her. She set her glass down with a sharp clink and blurted out, "He wants one last chance to make things right."Talia's brows shot up. Her lips pursed around the straw trapped between them as she turned to regard her cousin with surprise and curiosity."He as in...Karl?" she asked once she'd swallowed her mouthful of lemonade.When Lavinia gave a small nod of confirmation, Talia's frown deepened. "Huh, well you certainly don't look too torn up about it. Don't tell me the divorce is off the table?"Lavinia sighed, slumping back against the cushions with a troubled expression.One hand drifted up to toy absently with the ends of her hair as she
Love Trap: The Billionaire's Regret CH.117
Lavinia requested for the Carlon family to get together in the sitting room the following morning except their mother who insisted on staying in bed a little longer.Talia wasn't present either. It was just the men and Lavinia.She had news for them... News that would likely upset most of them.Lavinia's father sat across from her in his usual overstuffed armchair, his expression impassive but his eyes sharp and assessing.Robert and Martin had their arms crossed, looking like someone just taken their favorite toys away.Suga was shooting her glares every few seconds like he was trying to set her on fire with his mind.Lavinia twisted her hands in her lap, struggling to find the right words to drop this bombshell.Finally, her dad cleared his throat loudly. "Well, Lavinia?" he prompted. "I think we're all quite curious to hear this...news you apparently have to share with us. Though I suspect I can probably hazard a guess as to what it might concern."Lavinia felt her cheeks warming d

Suga’s hand shot out, catching Karl in the chest and shoving him backward firmly."Back the hell off!" Suga snarled, his eyes glittering with undisguised hostility.Karl blinked in shock, his smile faltering as he took in the unwelcome sight of Lavinia's whole family crowding the doorway - Suga, Martin, Robert, and even her father all watching him with matching looks of distrust and anger."What's going on?" Karl started to ask."Can it, Sulivan.” Suga cut him off with an impatient wave of his hand. “We need to have a little chat about my sister before we even think about leaving her alone with a piece of work like you again." Suga's voice was seething with rage. He had never wanted his sister to marry Karl, but he didn't have a choice.The insult hit its mark. Karl's face flushed with indignation. He opened his mouth to protest but seemed to think better of it as he eyed the wall of Carlon men blocking the doorway.Instead, he simply stepped back while bottling his irritati
Love Trap: The Billionaire's Regret CH.119
As the door clicked shut behind the Carlon family, Karl immediately pulled Lavinia into a tight embrace, burying his face in her hair. He breathed in her familiar scent - a comforting blend of vanilla and something distinctly hers."We're finally alone," he murmured in a voice thick with emotion. Then he pulled back just enough to look into her eyes with a nervous blush coloring his cheeks. "Can I get you anything? Some tea perhaps? I know you're not much of a coffee drinker these days."Lavinia met his gaze evenly, her expression unreadable. "Tea would be nice," she replied in a tone clipped but not unkind.Karl nodded quickly, relieved to have something to do with his hands. "Of course, one tea coming right up."As he bustled into the kitchen, Lavinia settled on the plush living room sofa, idly scrolling through her phone. "Are you alone with Karl now?" A text from Rosie popped up on the screen.Lavinia's fingers hovered over the keyboard for a moment before tapping out a r

"How did you know I got over my illness? You backed out of the divorce because you knew, right?" Lavinia asked, her voice strained. Her hands were clenched together with tense energy, and her eyes darted nervously from Karl's face to the ground and back again.Karl reached out and gently encircled her stiff palms with his fingers, trying to get her to meet his gaze. "Yes, I retracted the divorce as soon as I knew you'd overcome your illness. Julia helped me understand," he admitted, holding her stare steadily."Julia! Do you know her?" Lavinia's eyebrows arched in disbelief as she searched his face for answers."Yes, I know her. Julia is my...friend." Karl paused, offering her an apologetic look. "I deliberately sent you to her so I could stay informed about your progress."Lavinia's surprise grew. "So you're the reason Dr. Peter was so nervous that day! Did you...threaten him or something?" Her voice rose with incredulity.Karl offered a sheepish grin, scratching the back of his head

When they finally broke apart, he maintained a feigned frown. “Is that all we’re going to do?” he asked gruffly.Lavinia giggled at his attitude. "You're being ridiculous."Before he could retort, she carefully lifted Jan from his arms and settled onto the couch, preparing to nurse the hungry infant. She pulled out her breast from under her light shirt and guided the baby's mouth to her nipple so he could contentedly suckle.Karl watched them for a moment with a complicated mix of tenderness and jealousy. "I think we need to start weaning him off breastfeeding soon so he can drink regular milk," he commented.Lavinia just rolled her eyes at him. She was long used to hearing this complaint from her husband. "Are you seriously jealous of your own child? He's still so young, I can't just stop breastfeeding him like that," she sighed.Karl turned his gaze away, feeling unreasonably envious of the peaceful intimacy between mother and child. He tried to push the feeling aside.“Finally, he's

No sooner were the words out of her mouth than a piercing scream tore from her throat. “Aaaaaggghhhh! It hurts so bad! Karl, help me, please!” She clutched at him wildly.Karl was at a complete loss, watching his wife suffer so terribly.All he could do was hold her and try in vain to comfort her. "I'm here, I'm here...you're doing amazing, just keep breathing..."The medical team burst into the room in a flurry of chaos at the sound of Lavinia's screams. They swiftly but gently transferred her to the bed with the doctor taking charge."Okay Lavinia, you're fully dilated. It's time to start pushing on the next contraction," she instructed."No no no, I can't...I can't do it!" Lavinia shook her head even when the next contraction seized her body.Karl stroked her damp hair back. "Yes you can, baby. You're the strongest person I know. Just focus on me and push, I'm right here..."With a guttural, almost primal scream, Lavinia bore down hard. Her face turned beet red from the exertion."I

~Time flew by in a blur~"I am very nervous," Lavinia confessed while fidgeting with the hem of her maternity dress.The swell of her belly was now undeniable. It was a constant reminder of the life growing within her.Karl reached out, taking her hand in his and giving it a gentle squeeze. "It's okay, everything will be fine. No need to stress," he reassured her before turning his attention towards the doctor in anticipation.The doctor was getting ready to deliver the news that everyone had been waiting for."Here we go. Are you both ready to find out the gender of your little one?" the doctor asked.Lavinia and Karl nodded eagerly. They had discussed this moment countless times while imagining the different scenarios that could unfold.The doctor smiled. “Congratulations, you will have a son."Karl's face lit up with joy, "Did you hear that, my love? We're going to have a little boy, a little Sulivan who will look just like you," he exclaimed.Lavinia's smile mirrored his happiness.

Now that he was fully awake and alert, Karl pushed himself up on one elbow to study her expression. “Are you in pain?” he asked urgently, his mind instantly leaping to worst-case scenarios about her and their unborn child’s wellbeing.But Lavinia was quick to ease his fears, offering him a small, almost embarrassed smile. "No, no, it's not that at all," she reassured him before pausing momentarily. "I...well, I have a craving. For oranges."The tension seeped out of Karl's shoulders after registering her words. He let out a quiet chuckle of relief.He reached out and gently caressed her cheek. "Oranges? At this hour?" he teased. "You do realize it's well past midnight, and we're not exactly in peak orange season right now."Lavinia's expression fell into a mild pout. The desire for those oranges seemed so strong, so urgent in that moment, even if she understood the unlikelihood of finding any at this late hour.Sensing her letdown, Karl quickly backtracked. "But don't worry, my love. I

It was truly a night to remember.Andre and Rosie found themselves in the quiet of their hotel room, where they were able to spend some quality time together.While Andre's hands were softly put next to Rosie's head against the door as he gazed into her eyes intensely."What are you doing?" Rosie's voice trembled."Why are you so tense? Are you afraid?" Andre asked before caressing her cheeks tenderly.Rosie offered him a smile and shook her head. "I'm not... I just...""Don’t be nervous, just let yourself go. I'll never hurt you, my love. Everything will be fine, trust me," Andre reassured her.Rosie battled to restrain her reactions as he moved in and pressed soft kisses along her neck. She bit her lip in an attempt to suppress her moans."I love you, Rosie, you know that," Andre murmured.Rosie nodded. "I know, my love, and I love you too," she managed to say before their lips met in a tender kiss.Andre carefully lifted Rosie in his arms before carrying her to the bed. He gently s

Karl’s grin broadened at her words and he drew the quilt over them both before they welcomed dreamland together.The next day, Lavinia was standing in the middle of the dressing room, clad in just her underwear, angling her body towards the full-length mirror. With a small smile, she ran her hands over the gentle swell of her baby bump, admiring the changes pregnancy was bringing to her figure.She grabbed her phone and started snapping a series of photos from various angles in an attempt to document this special journey.The bathroom door opened and Karl stepped in, fresh from the shower with a towel slung low around his hips.He raised an eyebrow at his wife's actions. "Uh, what're you doing there, babe?"Lavinia glanced over her shoulder with a smile. "I'm taking belly pics! Wanna get in on this?" She motioned for him to join her. "I want to have photos documenting my whole pregnancy so we can look back on it."Without hesitation, Karl crossed the room and wrapped his arms snugly ar

“Is my husband still angry with me?” she murmured.She could feel the scorching heat of his body through the thin silk of her negligee and smell the warm, musky scent of his skin. It made her head spin with a dizzying rush of want.Before Karl could respond, Lavinia closed the scant distance between them and captured his lips in a deep, hungry kiss.For a long, heated moment he seemed to melt against her. His mouth moved in tandem with hers as one of his hands slid up to fist in her hair.A low rumbling groan of pure masculine appreciation vibrated against her lips and it made her shiver with delight.Then, all at once, Karl seemed to come to his senses. He tore his mouth away from hers with a harsh curse. His hands quickly dropped away from her as if she had scorched him."Dammit, Lavinia," he growled.There was an unmistakable bulge tenting the front of his pajama pants. "Don't do this, not tonight. I'm serious."Lavinia felt her heart plummet at the rejection. "But Karl--""No buts.

Lavinia felt her stomach twist itself into an anxious knot when the realization struck her. Karl must have retreated upstairs to their bedroom, no doubt seeking the solitude and space his anger and hurt seemed to demand.She wavered in the doorway for a long moment, chewing nervously on her lower lip while weighing her options.Part of her wanted nothing more than to leave him be, to give him the time and distance he so clearly needed to process whatever emotions were raging inside him over the disastrous misunderstanding.Another, deeper part of her, however, knew that putting off a reconciliation would only breed more resentment and pain between them.No, better to bite the bullet and face the awkwardness head-on no matter how painful it might be.Drawing a fortifying breath, Lavinia finally turned on her heel and slowly headed for the stairs.By the time she reached the bedroom door, her heart was pounding a staccato rhythm against her ribcage. She could hear the muffled sounds of

Martin gestured grandly at the table laden with boxes of crispy fried chicken, mounds of buttery mashed potatoes, biscuits, and other picnic fare. “We were talking about food, you nutters! This glorious chicken, to be exact.”The revelation hit the women like a ton of bricks.Rosie’s face flushed a brilliant crimson, slowly lowering the rolling pin, suddenly feeling very foolish.“We…we thought…” She stammered, unable to meet anyone’s eyes when the weight of their overreaction crashed down on her shoulders. “Oh god, I’m so sorry.”Talia scoffed loudly. “Wow? After our whole dramatic scene?” She shook her head in disbelief, but carefully set the skillet down.Andre stepped forward. “It’s okay, really. I can totally see how it sounded out of context.” He shrugged. “But we were just a bunch of guys enjoying some food and…well, guy talk. That’s all.”Lavinia forced an awkward laugh while pressing a hand to her reddened face as the absurdity of the situation fully registered.“Chicken…we re
