I lost her.

I knew that the moment she refused to look at me in the hospital. It was all my fault.

Claire hadn’t told me that she was pregnant. I remember telling her after our wedding that she should get on contraceptives. I even took her to the doctor to obtain a prescription. The truth is: I wanted kids. I didn’t want them then but it was because of my responsibilities. I didn’t want to be an absent father. I never meant to give her the impression that I never wanted them at all.

I begged her to stay. I would’ve changed for her. Given her all the children in the world and be the husband she deserved but even I knew it wasn’t going to be enough. Claire lost our son. She held him a secret for so long and she did it out of fear. Fear that I didn’t want him when he meant so much to her. And someone took him from us - because of me.

She wouldn’t even come home with me. I entered the house alone. I sulked to my bedroom and waited by my phone, hoping she’d call. After a while, I los

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 140: Leonardo’s POV

    I feel a pulsating pain radiating through my skull and sit up slightly to find a broken vase at my side. Charlotte must have done this. Where is she? I look side to side but am stopped when paramedics rush to assess my wounds. It wasn’t until they bandaged my head that I remembered what had happened. Charlotte was trying to kill Claire. I have to stop her. I jump up and push the paramedics back as I rush up the stairs to find my wife.I’m met by Mason just at the top of the stairs and I can see Claire crumbled down to the ground. She looked like she’d seen a ghost and although her body shook, she was still.“Claire!” I rush to her side and try to ground her by wrapping myself around her. Mason tells me that she is the only one able to account to what happened here. Thankfully our boys were alright.“Elena, did you see what happened?” I ask as I watch her put the boys down for naps. “Yes, Mr. Leo. Ms. Claire was protecting the boys and myself. She did well.” She says sadly as she watc

    Even with the storm, I could swear that I heard a gunshot and I quickly jump out of the bed to grab my own and arm myself as I run out the door. “What’s wrong? Where are you going?” Jasmine calls after me as I run down the driveway.“Call the police and give them Leo’s address. I think they’re in danger.” I yell back as I continue running, holding gun and preparing to fire at any assailant. I push the gate open and continue down the block to their home where I see a random car parked. This couldn’t be good.I quickly pull my phone out and call the facility to check Charlotte’s status but there’s no answer. I decide to abandon that thought and focus on the danger ahead. I push forward as the wind threatens to sweep me from under my feet when I finally catch a glimpse of their house. Everything seemed to be intact but I had to make sure. I run to the door and knock but hear no response until I kick down the door. Just as I walk into the threshold, j see Leo is unconscious on the ground

    Leo asked that I wait upstairs while he checked the door. I scoot closer to the bassinet where the boys were sound asleep and watch the door carefully. I didn’t realize how long I had been holding my breath until I see Leo reappear and let out a deep sigh and gasp for air.“It’s okay. It must’ve been the wind.” He says as he rushes to my side, holding me form doh long over as I try to inflate my lungs rapidly.“Okay.” I nod quickly as I continue heaving.“It’s okay. We’re all fine.” After a few minutes of silence, I hear my alarm on my phone indicating that it was, once again, feeding time. “How about you stay here and I’ll grab the bottles.” “No, it’s okay. I can do it.” I reassure him. The truth was that I needed a moment alone. I then get up to get my pump supplies and their bottles while Leo watches the boys as Lucas had begun to stir.I could still feel the weariness of the storm lingering over me as I descend the stairs and walk towards the kitchen. It felt like I was walking

    Some may think it’s odd that I’d feel so comfortable as to knock on the front door, even to knock as though it were urgent. But there was a method to my madness. I know Leo. He’s far too chivalrous to allow Claire to open the door, nonetheless during a ramped storm. He’s going to be the one to come to the door and while he makes his pace, I’ll be making mine to the back to find a point of access and try to catch a view of where my target was.I watch as Leo goes to the door and I have to fight the urge to run back to the front and jump into his arms. I watch as he examines the area and returns inside and I find that the back sliding door’s lock had been damaged by the falling debris. Just my luck coming into play, I have the perfect point of entry.“You cannot do this! You cannot harm those you love.” My mother screeches at me in the pouring rain.“I would never hurt Leo.”“But you have.” I decide to ignore her. Seeing as I could be heard at any moment.I wait until I see Leo go back

    I wake up to an empty bed and feel an immediate sense of panic. I jolt up to see the storm is still in full motion and crawl quickly over to find the boys still sleeping in their bassinets. I take a minute, clutching my chest to calm myself and try to catch by breath. I look over at the clock to see that it’s half past five and decide to look for Leo. It was odd to find that he’d just left the bed.I get up quietly and slowly exit our bedroom to find Leo sitting at the breakfast nook in the kitchen. I can hear the sounds of his phone showing the weather reports.“Is there something wrong?” I ask as I come to his side quietly. He hadn’t heard me and seemed surprised as he puts his phone down.“Oh. Did I wake you?” He smiles softly as he turns his full attention to me and I can tell he’s trying not to worry me.“No. I think the wind must’ve startled me or something.” I try to fake a small smile and push away the anxiety that nerves that were still eating away at me.“Claire, it’s okay t

    I wake up to see that it’s almost five in the morning and notice that the storm was still in full effect. The wind was relentless, the rain - furious and the darkness was almost infinite. I see the bottles and realize that Claire had done the routine and let me sleep. And although I was grateful, I felt almost guilty that she had to do it alone.I take a look over at my boys. They were sleeping peacefully and I could see the roundness of their small and full bellies. I then turn to have a look at my wife and I’m relieved to see that she decided to get some rest. I knew better than anyone that Claire was fighting a losing battle with her fears. In her mind, things still go bump in the night and whatever awaits you in the dark is never a friend. I reach her side of the bed, giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead before heading to the bathroom and then downstairs.To my surprise, Elena was fast asleep on the couch. She must’ve stayed up to keep Claire company. I reach over to wake her
