Replaced at the Altar: She belongs to the billionaire Chapter 40 - Mixed Feelings
LONDON'S POVBeing at home that particular day, George had asked me to take the day off. As I browsed through my phone, his call came in,"Hey, angel!" George's voice, smooth like velvet, caressed my ears and my heart. Hearing his endearment brought a rosy blush to my cheeks. He'd been showering me with love all day, making me feel like I was his queen. I couldn't help but feel giddy with joy."Hey!" I responded with a low soft tone, smiling as I did,"How're you doing?" He inquired, in a tone I wasn't familiar with, making me both uncomfortable and joyful at the same time, I had always known the cold, stern George, and hearing him sound all sweet and gentle made me feel embarrassed a little."This is the third time now," I responded with a light chuckle unable to contain my excitement,"I know... I just want to make sure you're fine." His words came again coated with deep emotions,"What could happen to me in our house, with all the security both in and outside?" I teased walking tow

LONDON'S POVLater that night, I couldn't sleep. I was still feeling a little funky I hadn't said a word to George since the night before, and I needed to breathe some fresh air, so I stepped out into the garden. My mind was runnin' a hundred miles a minute, thinking about my sick momma and feeling all kinds of upset with George. I didn't know what I was gonna say to him, but I knew I had to sort out my thoughts before we talked.As I stepped into the garden, my breath caught in my chest. There, sitting on the bench and staring up at the sky, was Cassandra. The sight of her made me smile. I didn't even know she was up so early, but I was glad she was there. I tried to keep my voice light as I greeted her, saying a simple "Hi" with a small smile. But my sudden appearance caught her off guard. Her eyes flew open, and she gasped, her hand flying to her chest as she tried to calm her racing heart. I'd surprised her."Oh, hey!" Cassandra replied with a little smile. She hadn't been expe

GEORGE'S POV"James," I said, interrupting the comfortable silence that had settled between us in the car. "Do you think there's something I'm doing? Some way I'm behaving towards Paris, that's not good? I can't help but wonder if there's something I'm doing that's contributing to the problems we're having." My voice was filled with concern as I confronted the possibility that I could be part of the problem."Huh!" James' jaw dropped in shock, like I had just said something completely out of the ordinary. I could see the surprise etched on his face as he replied instantly, his eyes still fixed on mine through the rearview mirror. My own brows knit together in irritation as I stared back at him, frustration boiling up inside me. How could he be so shocked when I was only trying to do the right thing?James quickly realized the seriousness of my inquiry, and with a jolt, he pulled himself together, his eyes back on the road."Sir, I don't think you're doing anything wrong at all," he

OLIVER'S POVI had barely had time to catch my breath after settling into my office when the door flew open, and Charlotte stormed in, fury etched across her face. But my concern was far greater than her furious expression.I was more worried about the issue that had sparked such a reaction.“What do you think you're doing here?” I snapped angrily, watching her approach my desk with an unstoppable zeal. She seemed to ignore my question completely, and I pressed on, my voice rising with each word. “I asked you a question!”“I told you to stay away from my office,” I said, my voice laced with authority. “I also asked you to keep a low profile. So, why are you barging in here like you own the place and can do whatever you want?” I interrogated her, aiming to remind her of the hierarchy between us."Oliver, I'm sorry for barging in, but I had to tell you the latest development. It's urgent," Charlotte said breathlessly, the words tumbling out of her mouth in a rush.“What could possibly

CHARLOTTE'S POVAs I strolled out of the office, a lady caught my eye. She was walking towards me, and while I knew most of the employees at the company from my weekly visits, I was certain I’d never seen her before. Her refined demeanor suggested she was no ordinary employee.As she glided past, I noticed she was carrying a flask, and my curiosity was piqued. She didn’t seem like the type to be sipping from a thermos in the middle of a workday. I couldn’t help but wonder about the mystery lady as she disappeared into Oliver’s office. My mind was swirling with questions, but before I could think further, my eyes met with those of Paris, startling me out of my thoughts.I was so engrossed in observing the woman, I didn’t even notice Paris walking towards me. I wanted nothing more than to avoid Paris. Ever since her wedding to George, our paths had remained purposefully uncrossed, and I preferred it that way. I had no desire to be reminded of her, and certainly not when she was marrie

LONDON'S POVAs I drew closer to Charlotte, her eyes widened, revealing the anxiety she felt at my approach. I was content with the discomfort I caused her, and I maintained our locked gaze as the space separating us became smaller.Charlotte’s mind seemed to race, searching for an escape route in a matter of mere seconds. As quickly as the panic and indecision had set in, she broke free from our standoff and fled toward the shelter of the nearest restroom. My lips curved into a knowing smirk as I watched Charlotte run away, the false air of nonchalance that accompanied my response only served to emphasize the fact that I was fully aware of her attempts to avoid me. Although Charlotte was at the top of my suspect list in the case of my sister’s murder, I had decided against confronting her directly, instead choosing to keep my investigation under wraps for the time being. Turning my back on the direction she'd fled, I headed towards my office, determined to bide my time and conti
