The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 66: Leonardo’s POV
Having Claire’s forgiveness and understanding was an immense weight off of my shoulders. Although the guilt was still present after Roman expressed that Claire’s attacks and the woman orchestrating them were all because of me. I couldn’t think of a single person who would want to get to me by hurting Claire, especially a woman. Claire had never met any of my ex-girlfriends - other than Charlotte and she didn’t exist in my life when those relationships occurred or even remotely near their end. It would make more sense if Charlotte was targeted, she was present throughout all my relationships and frankly, most of them ended because they could barely the idea of me running to another woman’s side.I lay down in bed, contemplating who could’ve done this as I watch Claire sleep peacefully beside me. Things were starting to finally fall into place when her career took off. She was happy. My mother wanted me to be with her. Charlotte had healed from surgery and started her new life. Everyo

I wake up and find that I’m still naked and wrapped in Leo’s arms. I didn’t intend on sleeping with him again but I fell into my routine where I would seek his pleasure not only for myself but for him. I knew it would help him rest better and as his wife, it had become second nature. It didn’t hurt that I also thoroughly enjoyed myself. I feel him twitch in his sleep and I feel his shaft growing inside me again. He had left it in. Truthfully, it made me feel connected in a way. I look up at him and kiss him passionately as i hold his face to mine. He returns the passion and within moments, we’re back to pleasuring each other. This time he takes charge and sits me on top as he sits on his knees. We move in rhythm until again, we reach our maximum. I grab his back with my nails and impulsively tell him how much I love him. After our bodies begin to calm down, he kisses my chest and looks up at me.“Remember when I told you that only I could make you feel this way?” I hear him whisper hu

I couldn’t believe it when Claire finally said yes to being my wife again. I felt like we were in a twilight zone. I made sure to send a text message to my attorney asking that he place the clause into effect - voiding our divorce before going back down for bed with Claire. It wasn’t long before we were fast asleep. I’m awakened by my phone ringing. I look to see it was Mason calling. There must be news, especially if he was calling this early in the morning.“I hope I didn’t wake you, man.”“Don’t worry. What’s going on?” The pleasantries weren’t necessary. He could call at any moment and I’d answer in haste. He was doing me a massive favor. “DNA came back on those cigarettes. I ran it through CODIS and we got a match.”“You know who Claire’s first attacker is?’ I hadn’t expected this to happen so soon. I would have to tell Claire as soon as she woke up.“His name is Mark Siles. He’s a record criminal, holding multiple charges of assault, attempted murder and kidnapping.” I knew wh

I hear Leo’s phone ring and immediately feel a Deja vu moment. I felt as though he’s be leaving to see Charlotte until I feel an ache in my hand. We were in the same place at different times. I ask if he’s going to leave already but I’m pleasantly surprised when he tells me otherwise. He tells me that Mason has found my first attacker and they were setting up a sting operation to capture him safely. Mark Siles. A name to a face that has haunted me for months.I feel an immense fear like a boulder is sitting on my chest. He was dangerous and I fear for Leo’s safety but I also feared how Leo would handle the situation after learning that this man had also kidnapped Charlotte and him long before we were ever married. Leonardo was a man of great pride and I worry that he would act impulsively.We shower and head down for breakfast as the air is filled with sweet and savory scents.“You’ve outdone yourself, Elena!” I hear Leo say as he gestures to the table, it was covered in Belgian waff

I get called into the warden’s office and thought of the prison warden was already intimidating. I’ve tried my best to stay out of trouble as Leonardo and Claire instructed me to do while they work on my release. I just don’t know what I could’ve done wrong and I’m speechless as I see my arresting officer - chief commissioner Mason Grey. I must’ve done something serious.“Matthew, the officers will be removing your chains and I expect you to have a seat.” The warden was clear on his instructions and I follow exactly as told.“Do you know why you’re here?” He asks in a serious tone.“No sir.”“Do you recognize this decorated officer?” He gestures to the chief commissioner and I nod.“He was my arresting officer, sir.”“Well chief commissioner Mason has made a valiant effort in clearing your name. He has found astounding evidence to not, only suggest, but prove that you were wrongfully accused the crimes you are being held in custody for. As of today, I am extending my deepest apology a

“Mon cher, I need to speak with you.” Francisco peeks into the doorway of what’s supposed to be the master bedroom of this pathetic hide-out. My closet was bigger than this. I walk out and sit down on the couch and wait for him to start. This couldn’t be good if he was pacing again.“Are you going to talk?” My annoyance was evident at this point. This mutant growing inside me has made me intolerant and angry more often than not. He looks at me as he paces. Whether to gauge my annoyance or mentally prepare to say what I didn’t want to hear.“Spit it out already!” “I just got word that the girls’ brother is set to be released. Roman gave information on his case to guarantee a plea deal.” Matthew was only a small step in my process in hurting Claire and I had done so already. I had no interest in what happens to him. He was more of a liability to Claire than myself. From where I stood, that idiot still thinks I’m kind and some sort of friend.“Roman did well.” I shrug as I check my negl

I leave Claire and head to the precinct when I hear that news had reached the tabloids of a young billionaire rekindling with his wife. It was kept anonymous as to who but I’m sure those who knew me would be able to piece the information together. Charlotte definitely did. I was relieved to see her text but too busy to take her call. I cared for you and I still care about her but my main focus is my wife. I’ve dedicated far too much time to Charlotte. I arrive at the precinct where I see Mason is just arriving back. “Long day, Mason?” I ask as we meet at the entrance. “An eventful day. I saw your brother-in-law and told him of his release in twenty four hours. The warden was apologetic as well. Not something I’m used to seeing.” “Thank you. Claire will be thrilled to have her brother back. She’s worried about his safety in there.” “Well he’s staying out of trouble and has been placed in solitary confinement to ensure he is released without error or held on any discrepancy. He’ll b

I sit down with the therapist and Elena in the living room after his prompt arrival. “Alright Claire, I’ve brought some tools to exercise your right hand and I brought a portable hot sand therapy that we’ll be using before and after to help loosen those joints. I’m hoping to see a little bit more flexibility. Are you comfortable with that?” I liked the therapist that Leo chose. He was kind, moved slowly and explained everything thoroughly.“That sounds fine.” I slowly remove my splint and hold my hand out to the therapist as he feels for any atrophy. “Okay Claire. It feels tense but that’s normal. Can you close it at all?” I try to close it as instructed but it only moves slightly.“Okay. This is common. Let’s see how much it improves after the hot sand therapy.” He set the machine up on the table beside me and placed my hand inside while adhering a sleeve to my shoulder to keep the sand inside.“It’s going to be hot but you’ll only have your hand in for about five minutes. If it fe

Claire and Jasmine listened closely to the conversation I had with Charlotte on the phone. They felt triumphant as I played my part. “Well she seems convinced.” Claire smiles as she sits down on the couch beside me. “Now, we just have to get Julia and Leo ready to rub it in. The letter said six o’clock, right?” Jasmine confirms.“Yup. I already texted Julia and she said she is getting ready. She wants to make sure she is dressed for the occasion.” Claire seemed a bit nervous but she did it well.“You brought your nice suit, right Leo?” “I did and before you ask, it’s black.”“Good, that means it’ll match with Julia.” Jasmine smiles as her need for color coordination is satisfied.“How do you think Julia will act when she’s faced with Charlotte?” Claire asks quizzically.“I’m not sure. But I should get changed. Julia should be arriving in the next thirty minutes to debrief before we head out.” I stand and leave the room to change. It felt odd to be going to dinner in the company of
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 105: Charlotte’s POV
It’s late morning when I awake from my nap. The medication they gave me was great at silencing my dead mother but horrible for my energy. Every dose I’d taken had driven me to a long deep rest that encapsulated my hours. I grab my phone and see blog and tabloid notifications - my favorite reading material as I was able to read about myself multiple times. Although, I was glad for my absence in these apps as of recently. The last thing I wanted was to be paraded around as a lunatic.I open the first app to read about today’s events and see Claire is plastered on the front page.“Billionaire’s wife trades high life for loving longevity?” I continue reading as the article names a ‘Nathan Carter’ as Claire’s new love interest and describes their poolside manner as romantic and intimate. Did she really trade Leo for this guy? He wasn’t nearly as handsome as Leo. I look up his net worth isn’t even in the same caliber as Leo. How stupid of her. I continue to look at the photos and I’m struck
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 105: Mason’s POV
I watch the movements of Charlotte’s ankle monitor and to my surprise, it hasn’t move at all from the primary residence. I checked its connection and gps settings. Only to find that everything was working perfectly.Leo informed me of his and Claire’s plan to seem separated in the blogs to make Charlotte more confused and less hyper-fixated on hurting Claire and for some reason, I feel like it might’ve worked. Claire hadn’t had a run in with Charlotte and she hasn’t left to see Leo either. Did her psych hold have something to do with this?I ask the officers providing surveillance at Charlotte’s residence to check in every two hours, just in case. Charlotte wasn’t a dumb woman. She was cunning, fast and maniacal. If she were planning something then I needed to be top of it before anyone got hurt. Surprisingly, the only alert I’d been given was a visitor to Dahlia. The view was partially obstructed but they believe it wasn’t friendly as the woman left without entering and Charlotte sla
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 104: Charlotte’s POV
I grab my phone and lay on my bed, face the ceiling and try to distract myself. My monitor meant that my moves were recorded and that meant no late night surprise visits to Claire. I had no army, no freedom, an injury to my arm and no opportunities. I wonder if Claire had even seen my letter. It couldn’t be a violation if she were to meet with me in a public location. I wouldn’t have followed her or threatened her, technically. Or did technicalities not count in this situation?I begin scrolling through today’s blogs on my phone, not out of interest but sheer boredom when I see it. Claire seems to be cuddled up with a young man who wasn’t Leo. Not only that, but she’s pregnant in these pictures. Had my plan worked already? Did Claire move on without my knowledge? I scroll through the pictures and notice a Rolex and decide to check out who this guy was. A quick search proves telling as I see his name is Nathan Carter. A newly-made millionaire who had done contracts with Leo in the past
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 104: Nathan’s POV
I rummage through my drawers for a pair of swim trunks and see my phone ringing as I’m about to change. My ex-wife was calling and seeing as I had a task at hand, I ignored it and continued to get dressed. Jasmine instructed me to wear my Rolex for the photos to make my status known when the photos go live on the blogs. I’m guessing it had to do with Claire previously being with a billionaire. Sadly for her, I am no billionaire. My company had just sky-rocketed these last three years and I just became a millionaire. Not that that Claire minds, she seems more interested in me as a person than a financial security which is something I hadn’t experienced in a long time. She saw me as just a man. Not a businessman or a successful company owner - just me, Nathan.I check myself in the mirror as I head downstairs to find Claire in a beautiful bathing suit with matching kimono, newly provided by Jasmine and her beauty is remarkable. I also see Leo gawking at her. Guess I’d better be on my be
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 104: Julia’s POV
I get dressed and make sure my sister has my son as I prepare to leave to meet Claire to get more information about my new “lover” for our meeting with Charlotte tomorrow. I see Francisco watching me closely as I check my appearance in the mirror.“You will be careful, won’t you?” He asks as he shakes his leg restlessly.“There is nothing to fear, dear. I am not seeing Charlotte today. I am just meeting with Claire and her husband.” I grab my purse and kiss his cheek before walking out the door to say my farewells to my beautiful son. “You will be good for tante Dahlia, right my little heir?” I speak with a soft voice as I kiss my son and admire his laughter. “Thank you, sister.”“But of course. Franco’s is in good hands with his daddy and I. You do not have to worry.” I smile at her response as I head out the door and into my private car where my chauffeur is waiting patiently.“Where to, Ms. Julia?” He asks as I repeat the address provided to me in French. He nods and begins the j

I had just finished eating when there’s a knock at the door. Leonardo gets it as I clean the kitchen. I see a man come in. He was short, with round glasses, no hair and seemed to be in his early forties. I watch carefully as Leo shakes his hand with controlled excitement and leads him to have a seat in the living room. I finish cleaning, wipes my hands and head over to meet the notorious miracle doctor.“Ah! You must be Claire! A pleasure to meet you.” He says as he quickly stands to greet me and shake my left hand. Leo must’ve told him that my right is the one that’s disfigured. “Oh and congratulations! I wasn’t aware that you’re pregnant!” He was so bubbly and kind that my guard slowly melted away. “Please, have a seat. You must’ve traveled a long way to get here.” I gesture softly as he sits down and offers for me to sit next to him. I sit down just a few inches from his side and smile.“Please don’t worry about my travels. This is my passion. Leonardo said that you had been in a

Logan and Lucas. The names of my beautiful boys, under a tradition my family has kept through generations. Claire doesn’t know how happy that made me. The fact that she even considered my feelings about their names and my traditions - even after the situation I’ve gotten us into.I roll over to see it is five in the morning on my phone. The doctor should be here in two hours and soon after, Julia will be arriving to assist us in our pursuit to confuse Charlotte and remove her aggression towards Claire. I try to gently wake Claire as to not startle her.“The doctor should be arriving in two hours, Claire. Would you like to shower and get dressed?” I ask quietly as she stirs.“Okay, but I can’t get up. I need a little help.” She says groggily.“Okay. Don’t move, I’m coming.” I get up and walk over to her side of the bed, holding my arms out for her to adjust into as I gently roll her towards me and help her up. She grunts in discomfort. “Is that okay?”“Yes. It’s just a little hard to m

It’s close to midnight when Leo and I finally settle into bed. I decide to let him stay the night as it was late and I always felt worried about him being out late at these hours.“You said that there was someone coming to see me bright and early tomorrow. Is it Elena?” I ask as Leo settles into bed beside me.“No, but I can have Elena brought here first thing tomorrow. I’ve called a doctor who specializes in your condition and he’s confident that he can repair your hand and reverse the muscular atrophy that’s taken place. I’ve scheduled him for an evaluation to see what he can do.” He pauses as he watches closely for my reaction. I look at my splint with tunnel vision and hear his words echo through my mind. “What do you think?” He says quietly as he continues watching me.“I could carry my boys?” I ask with tears in my eyes.“Even at the same time.” He reassures me.“I could start my career again?” “Anything is possible.” Anything is possible? Is that really true?“You did all of t
