My Billionaire’s Redemption Chapter Twenty-Two: Unspoken Truths
The night stretched on endlessly.Sleep never came.I lay awake, tangled in sheets that still held the warmth of Alexander’s presence from nights before. But tonight, I was alone. Not just in bed—in every way.The events of the night weighed on me, pressing down like a boulder on my chest.I had kept a lot from him.Again.First, the conversation with Victoria. Then what had happened between me and Victor. And now—Adrian.The secrets were piling up.And the worst part?I wasn’t sure if I was protecting myself or Alexander.I stared at the ceiling, exhaling shakily. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Adrian’s smirk, his knowing gaze as he threatened me with my own mistakes. The cold, damp air of that warehouse still clung to my skin.Tearing the sheets away, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed. My feet hit the cool floor, grounding me as I pulled my robe around myself.I needed air.Padding out of the bedroom, I made my way toward the dining area.The soft glow of the pendant ligh

My fingers tightened around the phone as I forced a steady breath. My heart slammed against my ribs, but I willed my expression to stay neutral.“No one important,” I said, voice softer than I intended.Alexander’s gaze flickered to my phone, his dark eyes sharp with suspicion. “At this hour?”I hesitated, my pulse erratic. “Just a mistake. Probably spam.”He had a frown on at this point. The heat from our kiss was still there, simmering just beneath the surface, but something colder now crept in, doubt.Alexander wasn’t a man who believed in coincidences.His jaw clenched as he studied me, searching for a crack in my words. I wondered if he could hear the erratic pounding of my heart, feel the tension rolling off me.After a long, heavy pause, he exhaled and stepped back slightly, turning to take a sip of his coffee.. “Show me the message.” He said without blinking.Panic flared beneath my ribs. If I refused, he would know something was wrong. If I obeyed, he would find out about A

My phone rang.I froze at the sound, my heart slamming against my ribs. I had barely stepped out of the hotel premises my fingers trembling as I took my phone out of my bag. The moment I saw Alexander’s name flashing across the screen, my breath caught in my throat.Why was he calling now.The weight of the afternoon’s events crushed down on me, making it hard to breathe.I swallowed hard and pressed the phone to my ear. “Hello?”“Elena.” His voice was sharp, controlled. Too controlled.I hesitated. “Yes?”“Come to my office. Now.”The line went dead.I pulled the phone away from my ear, staring at it for a moment. My fingers trembled slightly as I exhaled, trying to steady myself. The tightness in his tone, the way he didn’t ask but commanded it sent shivers through me.I had no idea what was waiting for me, but I knew it wasn’t going to be good.Before I could second-guess myself, I rushed into the private vehicle I had ordered to come pick me up.Wells EnterprisesThe moment I step

Victor’s POVI leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples as I stared at the name on my laptop screen. Adrian Volkov. The name meant nothing to me at first, but the deeper I dug, the more unsettling the puzzle became.I had started my search the moment Alexander ordered it, calling in every contact I had, digging through public records and backdoor files that weren’t easily accessible. If this man wanted a meeting with Alexander no, if he wanted something from Elena then I needed to know everything.And what I found wasn’t comforting.Adrian Volkov was forty-one years old. A Russian-American billionaire, head of Volkov Industries, a company that dabbled in everything from luxury real estate to private security. His net worth was estimated at four billion dollars, but that wasn’t what caught my attention.He had no family. No spouse. No children.There were whispers rumors that he had once been connected to Russian organized crime, though nothing had ever been proven. The few times hi

Alexander’s POVI paced the length of my office, Adrian Volkov’s voice still ringing in my ears.We’ll talk soon, Wells. Very soon.There was something about the way he said it calm, assured, almost amused that unsettled me more than I wanted to admit. Volkov wasn’t just taunting me. He had something up his sleeve. The more I thought.A deep, simmering anger burned inside me. The thought of that image the way Elena had looked, the way Volkov had stood so close made my stomach twist in a way I hated. It wasn’t just about my reputation or my company. It was about her.Before I could dwell on it further, my phone vibrated on my desk. I picked it up without hesitation.“Wells.”“Alexander,” Volkov’s voice was slick, measured. “I was hoping we could have a civilized conversation. I assume you’ve seen the picture?” It was the audacity to have called me this time. How did he even have my number.My grip tightened. “What do you want?”“A meeting.”“Not interested.”Volkov let out a soft chuc

Victoria’s POVI had just arrived the mansion. I stepped inside, my heels clicking against the marble floor, each step deliberate. The air smelled of expensive cologne, whiskey, and something undeniably familiar, power.And there he was.Adrian Volkov leaned against the bar, a glass of scotch in his hand, watching me like a predator who had already claimed his prey.“Victoria,” he murmured, his lips curving into that slow, knowing smirk.I let my fur coat slip from my shoulders, revealing the sleek black dress that hugged my figure. His eyes darkened.I approached, letting my fingers trail along his jaw before tilting his chin slightly. “Did you miss me?”He exhaled sharply, setting his glass down. “More than I should.”His hands found my waist, pulling me against him in a swift motion. The heat between us ignited instantly. His lips crashed against mine, rough and demanding, years of tension and unfinished business unraveling in a single moment.I melted into the kiss, my fingers tan

Elena’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, my hands smoothing over the navy-blue dress Alexander had picked out for me. It was elegant but not showy, the kind of dress that said class and control. My heart pounded in my chest as I adjusted the delicate necklace resting against my collarbone. I had been in the public eye before, but never like this. Never with the weight of a scandal threatening to crush me.Behind me, Alexander stepped closer, his hands resting on my shoulders. His fingers traced a reassuring pattern against my skin.“You look perfect,” he murmured, meeting my eyes in the mirror.I swallowed hard. “Do I look convincing?”He turned me gently to face him. “We’re not here to convince anyone of a lie. We’re here to remind them of the truth you’re my wife, and we’re untouchable together.”I exhaled slowly, letting his words sink in. He made it sound simple, effortless, as if the world couldn’t tear us apart if we stood firm. I wished I could believe it as easily as he did

Elena’s POVIt was the following morning and a box sat on the bed, wrapped in sleek black paper with a silver ribbon. I hesitated before pulling the ribbon loose, my fingers trembling slightly. The paper fell away to reveal a gown elegant, floor-length, and undoubtedly expensive. Midnight blue satin pooled like liquid silk, shimmering under the soft glow of the bedroom lights.I traced the delicate embroidery along the bodice, my heart tightening. Alexander had chosen this for me.“You don’t like it?” His voice was smooth as he leaned against the doorway, arms crossed.I turned, meeting his gaze. “It’s beautiful. But you didn’t have to.”His expression was unreadable, but something flickered in his eyes. “Yes, I did.”There was no arguing with him. I slipped into the dress, letting it mold to my body, the fabric cool against my skin. Alexander stood behind me, adjusting the clasp of a diamond bracelet around my wrist.“You look stunning,” he murmured.I swallowed, nodding. Tonight was

Alexander’s POV“I’ll sort Adrian out.”Victoria’s voice was steady, but I didn’t trust it. I folded my arms and leaned back against the leather chair in my office, watching her carefully.“You’ll sort him out?” I repeated, skepticism dripping from my tone. “Sorting out isn’t enough for someone who nearly destroyed my reputation and kidnapped my wife like a madman. You expect me to believe he won’t blackmail you again?”Victoria exhaled and stepped closer. “Alexander, listen to me. Adrian is obsessed with me, yes, but I know how to handle him now. I won’t let him come after me or the company again.”I scoffed. “And what exactly is your plan?”“I have my ways, just trust me please.”Her answer was vague, and I hated that. “That’s the problem, I can’t trust you Victoria.”She sighed, rubbing her temples. “Look, I know I messed up before, but I swear I’ve changed. I want to come back, and I want to make things right. You need someone you can trust in your company—someone who understands
My Billionaire’s Redemption Chapter Eighty-Three: The Desperate Plea
Victoria’s POV“It’s time for what papa?” I asked, gripping my phone tighter. My father’s voice was calm but firm, carrying that heavy weight of authority that always made my stomach twist.“Since you refuse to come to Milan, I will come to Florida.”My heart nearly stopped. “What?”“I should have done this sooner,” he continued. “This situation has gone on long enough. Your silence, your avoidance—it all tells me there’s something you’re not saying. If you won’t come to me, I have no choice but to come to you.”Panic surged through me. “You don’t have to do that,” I said quickly, forcing out a small laugh as if the idea were ridiculous. “I mean, I’ve just been… busy. Things are under control, really.”“Victoria.” His voice held no patience for my excuses. “Enough.”I swallowed hard. “Dad, please. There’s no need to—”“I’ll be in Florida soon.”The finality in his voice made my chest tighten. “Dad—”The call ended.I let out a shaky breath, pressing my phone against my forehead. Shit.

Alexander’s POVLorenzo met my gaze, his jaw tightening. “I want answers.”I let out a sharp laugh, shaking my head as he reached for the glass of whiskey he’d abandoned earlier. “Answers?” He took a slow sip before setting the glass down. “To what, exactly?”I leaned forward, bracing my hands against the desk. “To this mess, Alexander. To the way my name and yours is being dragged through every damn blog and media outlet. To the way the showcase was sabotaged. To how exactly I got tangled in all of this.”My eyes darkened. “You think I wanted this?” My voice dropped, the underlying anger in it barely restrained. “Do you think I enjoy waking up to headlines splashing my name across the internet like I’m some fucking criminal?” I scoffed, shaking my head. “I was supposed to be the shadow, Lorenzo. The one pulling strings from behind the scenes, not the one thrown into the public eye like a circus act.”I studied him for a moment. For all his arrogance, there was a layer of genuine fru
My Billionaire’s Redemption Chapter Eighty-One: Back to Reality
Elena’s POVVictoria stood near one of the displayed paintings, arms folded across her chest, a smug smile curling on her lips the second her gaze met mine.“Well, well, well,” she said, her voice dripping with mockery. “Look what the cat dragged in.”Isla, beside me, exhaled softly but said nothing. My eyes flickered to her briefly, but her expression was unreadable—calm, indifferent. She made no move to acknowledge Victoria, and Victoria, in turn, acted like she didn’t see her. But something in the way Isla stiffened ever so slightly didn’t sit right with me.“You seem surprised to see me,” Victoria continued, stepping closer, her heels clicking against the polished floor. “I figured after that… spectacle you put on at the showcase, you’d be too busy hiding under a rock somewhere.”I squared my shoulders, refusing to let her get under my skin. “Funny. I was thinking the same about you.”Victoria let out a laugh, sharp and taunting. “Oh, darling, please. Unlike you, I don’t crumble u
My Billionaire’s Redemption Chapter Eighty: Love Confessions
Mia reached into the box and picked up the bracelet, her eyes widening as she turned it over in her palm. It wasn’t just any bracelet—it was expensive-looking, delicate yet striking. A thick, silver band wrapped around itself in an intricate woven design, almost like intertwining vines. The metal had a polished gleam, catching the dim light in the room, and at the center was a locket charm. Mia clicked it open, revealing a tiny, hand-painted portrait of Elena inside.“Oh, wow,” Mia breathed, holding it up to the light. “This is some real Romeo shit.”Elena said nothing. Her fingers curled around the edge of the box, heart hammering against her ribs.Mia turned the bracelet in her hands again, tilting her head as she examined the artistry. “Look at this detail. This isn’t some basic mass-produced jewelry; this was customized. The way the edges are carved? The way your picture’s been hand-painted and set into the locket instead of just printed? Girl, Victor did not play around with this

Elena’s POVI blinked, sure I had misheard him. “What?”Victor’s eyes remained steady on mine. “I think Isla might be involved.”I let out a sharp laugh. “You think Isla—my assistant —is involved? Are you even hearing yourself?”Victor sighed, leaning back slightly. “Elena, I need you to listen—”“No, you listen,” I snapped. “You don’t get to come in here and start pointing fingers at someone who has been nothing but good to me.”Mia, who had been silently munching on her fruit, straightened up. “Wait. I’m gonna need some context for this one.” “Who’s isla again ?”I turned to her “Isla Kerrington, she’s my personal assistant and her reason why I got on that showcase”“Oh that’s nice , so mr Victor, why is she your suspect?”Victor exhaled. “Look, something happened in London when Alexander was away.”I crossed my arms. “I know that’s where Alexander met Isla for the first time.”“Right,” Victor nodded. “But what you don’t know is that something strange happened to Alexander during t

Elena’s POV“You won’t at least take the flowers?” he asked, tilting his head slightly.I stared at them again. I had no reason to accept anything from him. Yet, something in the way he was looking at me, almost as if he was pleading, made me reach out and take them.“Fine,” I muttered, plucking them from his grasp.Victor’s lips twitched into a small smile, but I turned away before I could acknowledge it. I walked into the living room, setting the flowers down on the coffee table before sitting on the couch. Victor followed, sitting across from me.The air between us was thick, unspoken words sitting on both our tongues. Before either of us could say anything, footsteps sounded behind us.“Well, well, well,” Mia’s voice was laced with sarcasm as she strolled into the room, arms crossed. “Look what we have here, the Romantic lawyer himself .”Victor chuckled, shaking his head. “Always a pleasure, Mia.”Mia smirked. “Flowers? Gifts? What’s next, a violinist playing love songs outside
My Billionaire’s Redemption Chapter Seventy-Seven : Unfinished Conversations
Isla’s POVI grabbed the phone and answered immediately.“Elena?”“Isla,” she breathed, her voice quiet but urgent. “I need to talk to you.”I frowned, my grip on the phone tightening. “Are you okay? How are you doing ?, sorry I didn’t reach out to you after I left the hospital”There was a brief pause before she sighed. “It’s fine Isla.”Something in her tone put me on edge. “What’s wrong, you don’t sound fine”.Elena hesitated, as if she was weighing her words carefully. “I don’t know Isla, the whole thing from the showcase, my name being on blogs, has put my career on the line and I’m just so overwhelmed.”I exhaled, sinking into the chair. “I know Elena, but don’t worry about it, soon something else would take over from this and the bloggers would move on. Besides, I reached out to the sponsors and PR team of the showcase already ““Really?” I could feel the excited in her voice “Yes Elena, you have nothing to worry about for now”“For now?” She asked “Yes, they would have to ge

Victoria’s POV“Who the fuck is this?”The words flew out of my mouth before I even processed the call. I wasn’t comfortable having this phone call while I was still at Alexander’s premises. Then, silence. A beat too long.And then“Are you fucking serious right now, Victoria?”Victor, I realized.I blinked, my grip tightening on the phone as recognition settled in. “Oh.” A slow smirk crept onto my lips. “Victor, darling, didn’t expect to hear from you so soon. What, miss me already?”His voice was ice, laced with barely controlled rage. “You set me up, you crazy bitch. Right ?”I rolled my eyes, already bored. “Oh, please. Set you up? I did you a favor.”“A favor?” he spat. “Are you out of your damn mind?”I sighed dramatically, looking around cautiously before responding “Think about it, genius. Now that Elena thinks Alexander’s some bitter, conniving snake, guess what? She won’t go running back to him anytime soon.” I let that sink in before adding, “Which means you have the perfe
