The Betrayed Billionaire •More Demands, More Pain•
Never Again 🌷 “There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.” -George Sand ~•~ •X A V I E R• The elevator wasn't working today as it was under repair and each employee on our floor was sweating hard when I walked past them in the morning. It was not easy to climb thirty sets of stairs and it wasn't certainly easy to do it on a warm day like this. At moments like today, I was grateful for the cardio and stamina building exercises in the gym. Once reaching the office, I saw a leaning figure of Evelyn, breathing heavily in her office. The scene from Saturday night made an appearance in my memory, the way she interacted with Alex and all the lovely things he was talking about her. Alex not only inherited his aunt's eyes, but also some of her habits. I felt a tug in my heart seeing him with Evelyn, after five years of hating her with every fiber of my body, that night I felt a spark as if someone gave life to the bond that we had. But, I cannot fall for her agai

Never Again 🌷 “Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.” -Paulo Coelho ~•~ E V E L Y N• | FIVE YEARS AGO | Getting engaged was one of the most special moments of a person's life. You could see in your partner's eyes exactly how it felt when you're so in love that you want nothing more than to spend the rest of your life with that person. When you get engaged, your lives together become one. And, that was what I saw in Xavier's eyes. Love. A kind of love which wouldn't be reciprocated. With a burdened heart and moistened eyes, I looked at the ring. The diamond, although big, just did not feel like it belonged to me. Throughout the ceremony, my eyes kept wavering at Ethan who had an amused smirk on his face whenever he caught me stealing glances of him. If I could relate to any person in the party, it was him. We have so much to talk about. The kind of man I would want as my finance, with perfect looks, an eloqu

Never Again 🌷 “I look at you and see the rest of my life in front of my eyes.” ~•~ E V E L Y N• Every night my thoughts weighed heavily on my soul, but every morning I'd get up to fight another day, and every night I survived. With no sense of my surroundings, I really couldn't decipher where I was. All I could feel was my numb body being carried by strong arms, especially by the person, who loathed the very existence of mine. The muffled, grave voices did nothing to bring me out of my comatose state. Finally, aware of the claustrophobic atmosphere, I tried bringing myself out of the numbness. I could mentally witness each and every action. Starting from the point where he carried me somewhere, the next thing I registered was my back touching a very comfortable sofa. There were a few things that I could not decipher. Firstly, why did he even care? As far as I remember, Xavier absolutely hated me. It was expected of him to just leave me lying on the cold floor than carry me in

Never Again 🌷 “There is an innocence in admiration: it occurs in one who has not yet realised that they might one day be admired.” ~•~ •X A V I E R• It was all a facade. The innocence, the simplicity, the devotion, a pathetic attempt to hide her true self from coming out. All I wanted was to pull her mask off so desperately. I wanted to show everyone her true colors, hidden beneath her pretence. "Oh come on, you're drinking again?" Chris asked when he entered my office and found me slumped against the wall, right under the window of the office. "Fuck off." I rolled my eyes and attempted to pour another glass of vodka when he snatched it from my hands. "What happened?" He said, crossing his hands in front of his chest and asked with creased brows. "Nothing." I emitted wearily. "Are you aware that we're leaving for California tomorrow?" He asked and when I sent him a glare, well, he glared back. "Did you inform Evelyn?" "Yes, I remember your precious meeting and no, I don't.

Never Again 🌷 “A person that truly loves you will never let you go, no matter how hard the situation is.” ~•~ E V E L Y N• Today simply wasn't my day, starting from the point where Kat told me about a certain someone known, Chris Walker called me to inform me that we were leaving for a business meeting today and my boss, Xavier Knight did not have the brain to tell me that we were flying to California. At least after that day when he told me about Alexander, when he had seen me breaking down in front of him, he could have informed me. But, no. I guess his hate towards me was far greater than anything. After a long time, we reached California. From the airport, a limousine took everyone to the lavish five star hotel. Maybe Xavier was used to Chris' overspending but I was completely overwhelmed at the sight of the colossal building. The receptionist gave each of us our keys. I was so exhausted after the long flight that I went straight to my room, instead of going to the dining

Never Again 🌷 “Maybe is forgettable. Only yes and no are memorable. Be bold with your love and say yes to yes, and no to no.” -Jarod Kintz ~•~ •E V E L Y N• "You!" He hissed. "I was just going." I said and poured the coffee beans into the machine. He didn't say anything in return and went past me towards the fridge. Pulling out a carton of juice, pouring a glass for himself. "Do you need coffee?" I asked to which he just shook his head in return. "It's fine. I can make-" "Stop your pretence, Miss Williams." He suddenly snorted, putting the carton back in the fridge. "There's nobody else in here." Tears gathered at the back of my eyes, and I was sure that I ain't going to spill them in front of him. Would he ever be able to look past that mistake? Would he ever be able to forgive me? Before I could say anything in return, he stomped in his room and I just stood there, watching his retreating figure contort in a blurry mess because of the tears in my eyes. ~•~ I have no ide

Trying to ponder over what Xavier had been rambling on the entire time. I felt totally baffled and knots formed in my stomach as several pairs of curious eyes stared at me, some of them encouraging me while others had a stern look challenging me to even complete the first line.New clothing line, elite groups, commoners, profit.Perfect.I formed a mental note of the key points Xavier accentuated throughout his speech."So everybody, in the golden era, clothes were considered as something to cover ourselves," I initiated, clasping both of my hands together. "But now the time has changed and so do our requirements. Clothing is considered a fashion statement. Every day the trend keeps changing so does the daily clothes we come across.""The point is, most of the entrepreneurs here are eager to define themselves, to create their own image and be a trendsetter. Well, that's the dream

Never Again 🌷 “See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. O, that I was a glove upon that hand. That I might touch that cheek!" -William Shakespeare; Romeo and Juliet ~•~ X A V I E R• "How do I look?" Standing in front of my laptop, I asked Alex, whose eyes assessed body as much as the screen allowed and at last, he gave his approval by giving me a thumbs up. Winking at him, I turned around to set my hair and then sprayed a little amount of my favourite rose-scented cologne. Wait, something wasn't right with him, no smile, no tantrums and no demands. That was weird as Alex always loved dressing me. "What happened buddy?" I asked and sat down on the bed, pulling the laptop over my lap. "I miss you, Daddy." He said, giving me his best sad look. "I'll be back in a day or two. Until then you can turn the house upside down." I said to which he finally smiled. "Promise?" Chuckling, I said, "Promise." Later adding, "And will you be good to grandma and grandpa until I get back

The Betrayed Billionaire Becoming One
Never Again 🌷 “I fell in love with his soul, before I could even touch his skin.” ~•~ •E V E L Y N• -TWO YEARS LATER- It had been two years after that horrified day, two years for Marcus' wedding, two years being mother to three amazing kids, two years since Xavier started acting like him and me as hus, to win my trust back. And in these two years, he never touched me without my permission. I still get scared remembering the day when I thought I lost my kid, my son, my happiness, Alexander. Yes, Savannah did pull the trigger, but Xavier pushed the gun away from Alex and he missed it by an inch, or else… Breathing out, I suddenly remembered the day when Alex asked me if I could be his mother too, if he could call me Mom too. That day was the best day of my life, we both had tears in our eyes. Of course, I wanted him to call me Mom, but when he wanted to. His face held so much emotion, and Xavier actually shed some tears when he heard Alex calling me Mom, he was finally reli
The Betrayed Billionaire Did Alex die?
Never Again 🌷 Xavier and Mason immediately contacted their detective and the Hawaii police. Evelyn texted the cottage's address to Xavier, according to which they reached the cottage. The detective had asked for a backup which was secretly following them at a distance of a kilometre. Xavier was about to break the door using his foot, when Mason grabbed his arm and pulled him behind, "Don't be a fool Xavier, they can't know our arrival." Nodding his head, they both let the detective and Hawaii police enter the abandoned cottage. There were numerous narrow passages and it was really hard to know where they kept Alexander and Evelyn, until, "Stay away from my son!" Yelled Evelyn. Following the voice, the police increased their pace as they made their presence known to the criminals, warning: "FREEZE! THIS IS HAWAII POLICE." Savannah's eyes widened as she exclaimed in disbelief whilst looking at Evelyn, "You played us!" "You are a criminal." Spat Chris. "I'm not gonna let you
The Betrayed Billionaire Revelation
Never Again 🌷 E V E L Y N• I was being dragged, again. The bulky man held my forearm really tight and continued tracking me out of the cell and through the narrow passage I was pretty sure my blood circulation had stopped by now. "Rose!" Alex screamed when a man slapped him hard on the face. It made my blood at another level. "Leave him the fuck alone out of this!" I yelled to the top of my voice as I pushed my nails in the wrist of my captor. The man dragging me, pushed open the metal door before we entered. He shoved me, not so gently on a wooden chair and tied my arms and legs, they did the same with Alex and he was crying uncontrollably. It made my heart break again and again. Screaming in my head, 'Where the fuck are you Blake?!' Trying to wriggle out of the ropes. I tried hard but all the energy was drained from my body. I didn't have the energy to lift my finger, I just threw my head back and closed my eyes tightly. Looking sideways, "Alex," I called him as he looke
The Betrayed Billionaire Did Evelyn got her memories back?
Never Again 🌷 •EVELYN / ROSE• That was probably the longest drive of my life, in these twenty-four hours my life had turned upside down. First my kids got hospitalized and my daughter's condition was critical when a guy with eyes familiar to my kids, declared his claim on my kids. He thought I was a fool or he was mistaken that I was weak. I could be anything but that, in these five years I've learned to cope with my unknown past, I know how to connect dots. And after connecting everything that happened in these past few weeks after Mr. Knight entered my life, it led to a conclusion. Xavier Knight is indeed related to my past, but to what extent, I didn't know until tonight. How could I be so foolish to not acknowledge the feelings, his look, that unknown connection to his son and the familiarity between my kids and him. I knew, I was afraid to voice out the truth, but somewhere back in my mind, I know who he is to my kids. But, for now I don't know what he is to me. Ther
The Betrayed Billionaire Danger
Never Again 🌷 I moved my eyes to see Mason and Marcus, but they weren't there, "They went to fulfill the requirements." Answered Evelyn for me. She walked out of the room as I trailed behind her, once we were in a quiet isolated zone, seeing the rise of the sun. No words were exchanged and it was uncomfortable, I looked at her through my peripheral vision, my brows drawn together slowly as I gazed upon her pretty face. Even with the light scar on her forehead she still looked as beautiful as the day I saw her walking down the aisle. "I'm going to ask you something and please be truthful." She said, turning her body towards me to which I nodded. "Have we met before?" "Yes, we have." I answered absent-mindedly and mentally cussed myself, "At your office." "Before the office I mean." She cleared. "Not that I remember of, why did you ask?" I questioned. Stop it, Xavier. She knows you're lying. "You eyes," looking into my eyes, her gaze was like she was finding something in my
The Betrayed Billionaire I have a matter to attend!
Never Again 🌷 X A V I E R• After the doctor checked my blood pressure, he went to see the status of my daughter. When I declared the relation of being the father to the kids, Evelyn's hard eyes weren't easy to ignore. They had questions, numerous questions in those dark browns. She looked like she was going to explode and burn me alive. Although, she did utter a single word, asking, "Why?" It wasn't just a word, it was the whole train of questions. I knew she wouldn't back down until I answered the question, so to my stupidity, I said, "It wouldn't take much time now considering the donor is her father." I very well knew it was a stupid reason, but I had to give one. Descending down the corridor, I made my way toward the room that the doctor had asked me to come to. I halted in front of OT-07, the room allotted to my daughter, my heart was racing at another level and I did not want to break down here. "I know," someone said beside me that broke the train of my thoughts. Te
The Betrayed Billionaire I'm her Father
Never Again 🌷 “Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.” ~•~ A heavy feeling settled in Xavier's stomach as his body went extra stiff and rigid. A sudden coldness dreaded in his being when Evelyn said with a horror stricken face, "Kids! They are in hospital!" Aiden's eyes widened in alarm as he held her arm in a firm grip, "Let's go." And started dragging her towards the elevator. His feets were glued to the surface and wasn't able to make any movement. What did she mean by kids? Whose kids? Are they hers and Aiden's…? No-no, no, NO! Meanwhile, "I'm sorry, it's an emergency. I'll make it up to you later, we better leave." Aiden said in a hurry to Mason and Katherine. "Rubbish we're coming along, let's go," declared Mason, turning his head, "Marcus!-" Before Mason could finish, Marcus came with his car-keys, saying, "Let's go." It was hard for Evelyn to grasp any voice as she herself reached the elevator and pressed the button, not waiting
The Betrayed Billionaire The Call!
Never Again🌷 “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.” ~•~ •X A V I E R K N I G H T• There she was, the love of my life, my wife. She looked so simple, yet so beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off of her as she walked in wearing the green dress. Amazement was so obvious in her honey browns, the moment my eyes landed her hand intertwined with Aiden, my jaw clenched. I balled my empty hands in fists to prevent myself from ripping his hands off her but when she slipped away from his hold, my fists loosened. Sitting on the stool, I saw her confused features while interacting with Katherine. Pouring myself a glass of whiskey, I sipped on it while just admiring her, my Rose. Even if she doesn't remember anything about her past, she still had the very name I used. For the last five years, I haven't seen her, not even a single glance at her photo that had been placed upside down on my desk. I felt someone's hard gaze and I found Aiden glaring at me. Followi

"I…" my voice trailed as I pulled him into a hug to which he circled his hands around my neck, "Yes, I'll be there." I said, rubbing his back.Pulling away, he kissed my cheek, as I said holding his hands, "But, you'll not run like this, okay?"Nodding happily, he said, "Okay."With that I ruffled his hair and stood up at my place, and Alexander went towards Xavier.Before Aiden could say something to me, he got interrupted by a call as he excused himself and went to attend the call. While I looked at father-son's bonding, Katherine pulled me towards an empty table, "How are you?" She asked.Although a smile lingered on my lips, a frown accompanied it, "I'm good, why do you ask?" I asked."It's been years and-" Katherine stopped midway as she realised something."Years?" I pressed, my smile disappeared as a look of confusion took c
