The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 75: Claire’s POV
After a night of passion, celebrating my brother and hearing the news that the mastermind of my attacks has been unveiled. I’m ready to face the truth on who’s done this to me and why. I see that Leo is already up and out of bed. I wonder if the news that struck him as hard it did myself. I get dressed and find that he’s downstairs speaking with Elena.“We’ll be finding out who’s done all of this to Claire today. We should be gone for awhile.”“Of course, Mr. Leo. Thank you for letting me know.”“It’s seems only fair seeing as you’ve been such a support system for her. I’m very grateful.”“Ms. Claire is family to me. There is no need for ‘thank you.’ I do with love.”I descend the stairs and enter the living room where I had heard them speaking and I feel all eyes on me.“Ready?” Leo asks as I come down.“Sure.” I shrug and Elena hurried to hand me a bag. I look inside to find a breakfast bagel and some healthy snacks.“You cannot forget breakfast Ms. Claire! Baby needs the energy.”

It came as a shock to hear that charlottes father had ordered my kidnapping. It’s even worse that he orchestrated a fake injury and imposed it on Charlotte and placed her in a wheelchair for the sake of money. Part of me wanted to defend her but she must have been aware or coerced by her father in some way. That simply wasn’t like Charlotte to betray me.I listen as Claire asks if Charlotte’s father was responsible for what had happened to her and I’m almost relieved to hear it isn’t. I watch carefully as Mason asks Claire is she’s ready to unveil her true attacker. She remains silent for a few moments and passes a single nod.“Your attacker was hired on this date per the conversation. Mark received a direct wire transfer for half of the funds up front and received the rest shortly after he reported back that he had completed his task in attacking you. I was able to verify this person using the wire transfer, bank verification and their phone number. I’m sorry to have to say this but

I get up to leave after feeling humiliated and betrayed by my husband all over again. How could Leo justify any defense for Charlotte after everything we e learned in that office, charlottes father tried to kill Leonardo, he had his daughter fake an injury that in term - ruined my marriage and cost me my son, and worst of all, she had me attacked and kidnapped. There was no justification for any of her actions. I was always kind and respectful to her. Why or better yet, how did I deserve this? What did I do wrong?” A million thoughts race through my mind. The idea that she had done so much to separate Leo and I was one thing but to kill myUnborn child and disburse my hand was vicious.Mason hands me his card as I grew tired of my husband’s disbelief in Charlotte’s wrongdoings.I leave the room crying and can hear Leo trying to keep up the pace behind me. In an effort to avoid him, I rush into the women’s restroom near the exit doors. Once inside, I lock the door and I’m relieved to

I watch as Mason escorts Claire back to the car and I choose to remain silent in that moment. I could see by the look of her face that she was crying and I had no interest in causing her more stress. I knew there was nothing I could say when she locked herself in the restroom. Mason strolls up to me and lets me know that I need to tread carefully with Claire.“What are you saying? She’s my wife.” I ask in confusion.“She’s walking a thin line right now. She’s feeling betrayed, disregarded and broken. You don’t want those cracks to piece together, man. It’ll shatter her.” I listen to his words and realize that Claire must’ve opened up to him. Mason wasn’t posing a threat - he was posing a warning and a foreshadowing of my what I have caused.“I didn’t mean to make her feel that way. I’m just in shock. This wasn’t how I thought today would go.” I never could’ve anticipated this.“She wasn’t just talking about today. She said that she’s felt that way for five years, Leo. I know you love

I was both shocked and deeply touched to hear I was carrying twins. It felt as though the universe was giving me another two children after my catastrophic first miscarriage. Only I felt this immense pressure as I realized that I was pregnant with two and my marriage was once again, on the rocks. We leave the obstetricians’ office and I hold the ultrasound pictures tightly as we get into the car. “Wow - two babies. What a surprise?!” I hear Leo exclaimed to himself as he tries to process what we had just heard. I remain silent as the drive ends with us back at the house.I can see Elena peeping through the foyer window and my mood lifts a little at the thought of sharing the news with her. I walk out of the car without Leo and rush to Elena.“Ms. Claire, what is wrong?”“It’s just been a rough day.” I shrug as I try to ignore the pain I feel in my heart.“Nonsense. I make special tea for healthy baby and we talk.” I wanted to decline but Elena ran to the kitchen before I could prote

I followed Claire upstairs after Elena escorted her to bed. It felt only right that I have the opportunity to explain myself and make things right. I hurt her today. It was unintentional but it took her to a place we had been before. A place where she was unimportant and disregarded.I walk into the room and find Claire pondering her thoughts in bed and I realize how badly my words affected her. From her side of things, I had taken Charlotte’s side once again.“Can we talk?” I ask carefully as to not upset her.“You can talk.” She whispers as she stares at the ceiling.“Claire, I didn’t mean for it to seem like I was taking Charlotte’s side. I just want to give her the opportunity to explain before you decide on what you’d like to do.”“I’ve already decided.” She says coldly. “I want her to pay her dues for what she’s done to me.” “Do you think that’s fair after she’s lived a good portion of her life in a wheelchair?”She looks at me sadly as she continue. “There’s proof that she nev

I hear the line disconnect after Leo’s interrogation and feel a growing pit in my stomach. I sit down on the couch in shock and stare at the wall. Francisco notices and rushes to my side.“What is wrong? Are you in pain?” He looks at me in observance as though trying to pinpoint my dilemma.“Leo knows.”“What does he know?”“He knows that I planned the attacks on Claire. He knows that I faked being in a wheelchair for years. He knows everything and Claire wants to have me arrested.” I stare blankly at the wall as I’m taken aback by fear.“I will fix it.”“How?” I ask as he hands me a set of keys.“You drive. I will tell you where to go.” He helps me up and gives directions as I drive. After an hour of driving, he has me pull into the precinct.“What are we doing here?” I ask in shock. “You want me to turn myself in?”“No. I am going to take the fall, you are going to go back to your home and claim your innocence.”“You can’t do this. They know it was me.”“I will lie. I will give them

I sit in my cell as I hear the guards bringing in another inmate. They decide to place him in my cell block as I inconveniently have an empty bed. I groan as I turn over to see the door unlocked. I roll my eyes and shift my attention to the wall. I didn’t like the idea of sharing my space unless in the company of a woman. I freeze in shock as I hear the following phrase.“Is that any way to greet your favorite uncle?” The new roommate teases. I turn to jump from the top bunk quickly. “Francisco?! What are you doing in here?”“Taking a small vacation, I assume.” “What have you done?” “Don’t worry nephew. All is right. Charlotte had been caught and I took the fall. I’m sure we won’t be here long.” “You’re wrong, uncle. I am being indicted for my crimes and you will be as well.” He couldn’t have done this for the treacherous and vindictive Charlotte - who I’ve come to know as problematic.“Charlotte is not going to save you. She only wants what she believes to be hers. Leonardo is t

I leave the hotel with more confusion than when I had arrived. Dalia had brought my ex-lover Julia. A woman I thought to be dead and she had brought her alive and well - carrying my son. I try making sense of it all as Enzo drives me back to the safe house to wait for the attorney to appear and collect payment.“Is everything alright, boss?” He asks as he drives.“No.” I respond blankly as I stare out the window, recounting what I had just witnessed.“I can go back alone and end this, if you’d like.” He offers as we continue driving.“No. No one is to touch Dalia without an order.” I say strongly.“What happened up there? I was almost certain you’d have killed her by now.” He asks.“She brought a gift for me. She brought her sister and my son.” I admit as we reach the house.“Julia’s alive?” He asks in shock. My men were aware of my relationship with her from the very beginning. An effort on my part to make sure she was also protected.“Yes. I saw her.” “We have an heir.” He smiles a

Tick. Tick. Tick.I watch the clock on the wall strikes an hour since my arrival and I’m thankful for the ticking of the hands being the only noise in my roomWhy would Leo put me here? I’m not crazy. Claire is the problem. I curl my knees up to my chest and hug them tightly as I sit in the luminous lighting against the cold wall touching my bed.“I have to get out of here.” I whisper to myself as if someone would even hear me.“You can leave these walls but I will never leave your side.” I hear the echo of my mother’s voice.“What the hell do you want from me? You’re dead. You’ve been dead.” I say in snarky tone as I look into her cold eyes. She stood at the end of my bed.“I want you to confess.” She says gravely.“What would I have to confess?” “That you killed your own mother.” “I’m not doing that.” The memory of a corpse was not going to convince me to confess to killing my mother. I turn away from her and face the wall as I lay down. “You don’t exist. You’re just a figment of

It’s late when I get a call from Chief Commissioner Mason.“Sorry to bother you, but I have some news. If it alright if I stop by?”“Of course.” I reply as I get up and wait for the front door bell. It had to be important if Mason was stopping by at this hour. Did something happen to Leo?I open the door the moment it rings and I see Mason waiting, I motion for him to come in and lock the door behind him. We walk over to the living room and sit down.“I didn’t bring juice this time since it’s late. But I did bring you a fruit cup.” He holds it out for me and I smile softly as I take it.“You’re lucky it’s close to juice.” He lefts out a small laugh at my response. “What’s going on?” “Well I got a call from Leo just an hour ago.”“Is he alright?” I interrupt.“Yes. Charlotte was in sort of manic episode and refused to leave his house. She threatened to kill you.” I catch my breath in my throat and feel a knot forming in my stomach.“W-why? I left Leo alone.” I stutter as I feel my bod
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 86: Charlotte’s POV
After my meltdown and discovering some things in Francisco’s past, I began hearing my mother’s voice again. She was haunting me and I knew I wanted to see Leo to calm myself. I drive the only car available to his house and knock on the door. Elena cracks the door open and tells me that Leo is not home. A answer I refused to accept. She stood in my way as much as Claire. I try shoving the door open but she slams it shut in response and locks it. Feeling defeated, I sit on the doorstep and stare at the pavement for what felt like eternity. Then I see Leo’s driver drop him off as he parked the town car and I wait for him to notice my presence. I expected him to at least be happy to see me but his face expressed nothing but disdain. He didn’t expect me or want me there.He tries to tell that he will never choose me and that it’s Claire - it’s fucking Claire. And the next thing I know, the Chief Commissioner is detaining me at Leo’s request and taking me to the car. How could Leo do this
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 86: Leonardo’s POV
I arrive at home and see an unknown vintage car is parked on my property. I was in no mood for company unless it was Claire’s. I send a photo of the license plate Mason and he asks that I remain inside as the vehicle belong to the mafia leader Francisco who has just escaped prison. But I see something even more shocking as I get closer to my front door. Charlotte is there sitting on the pavement outside my front door. Her hair is disheveled and her clothes are wrinkled. She looks to be a complete disarray. I text Mason back, letting him know that Charlotte was here and there was no sign of Francisco. “Charlotte?” I ask in disbelief as I approach the front steps. “Oh. Leo, I’ve been waiting for you to get back.” She looks to have been crying. “Are you okay?” I ask as she begins to stand. “No. I was thinking about what you said and I think you should reconsider. I would’ve waited inside but Elena refused to let me in.” “That’s because you’re not welcome here anymore.” I say coldly a

I missed sleeping in an actual bed as I stretch out my limbs and see it is the next morning. The attorney texted and confirmed his flight. Soon he’d arrive here, pay Charlotte’s father a visit and come to collect his payment but I had to sense in waiting for him. I needed to catch up to whatever Dalia had done while I was locked up.“Enzo!” I beckon my henchman and watch as he comes in.“Have you seen or heard anything about Dalia? Enzo was always on the avenue and overseeing our territories. If the streets were talking, he’d be listening.“Last notice I got was that she was staying at the Hilton hotel just downtown. I placed a few men there. They haven’t seen anything suspicious.” “Good. We’re going to pay her a visit today.” I smile lightly as I imagine the fear in her face as I come to find her. And for a second, I feel guilt. Her sister would be disappointed if she were here to witness all that had happened.I get dressed and have Enzo drive downtown. The drive is lengthy but I w

I see Nathan’s face line with confusion at the mention of Jordan. I knew our line of work wasn’t large and there must be something he must’ve heard about Jordan.I hear him question the name I had just mentioned.“Yes. I dated Jordan. He’s the owner or was the owner of a construction company here in the city and I had gone to architectural school with him years ago.” I explain.“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that name.” He seemed to be upset in his remembrance of that name.“Did you know Jordan?” I ask curiously.“Actually, yes. I did a job or two with him when he first opened his company. I thought he had a pretty good vision but come to find out, he’s been fucking my wife.” I could see the rage painted across his face. Jordan had overstepped once again and this time, he involved himself in someone else’s marriage.“I’m so sorry, Nathan. I didn’t know. Was this recent?” When had this started? From my understanding, he had been going through mediations and his divorce for jus
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 85: Nathan’s POV
I peak downstairs as I hear the front door open. I hoped to see Claire had returned. I’ve taken a liking to her company. I see her come in with her husband behind her. And the from the looks of it, he didn’t enjoy my waiting. I come down the stairs casually and head to the kitchen. I grab myself a soda when I hear footsteps behind me.“Spying on my wife?” I hear Leo say from close behind me. I turn to see he is just an arms reach away.“I just wanted to make sure she made it back alright.” I say as I open my soda and take a drink.“Why wouldn’t she? She was with me.” His tone was unenthused.“Well, she disclosed her attacks. I felt it was only right to check on her.”“Is that all?” He asks presumptuously.“What do you mean?” “Well, I’ve heard the news that you’re going through a divorce and I just want to make myself clear when I say this - Claire is my wife. She is carrying my children and I won’t tolerate you disrespecting that.” He stands firm - assuming it’s an intimidation tacti

I was thrilled to hear my babies were healthy and developing and even more so, when I the doctor informed me that they were boys - just like I dreamed of. I couldn’t wait to share the news with Elena and Charlotte. As we ready to leave, I see Leo watching me extremely. I’m sure the news has him feeling as though he needs to do more to protect me.“Can we see Elena?” I ask as we get in the car to leave.“Of course.” He replied without so much as a disagreement. I’m sure he thinks that Elena would convince me to come home but my decision wasn’t wavering at this moment. We drive back to Leo’s home and I see a pair of eyes watching from the window. She had been expecting me long before I decided to come. Leo assists me out of the car and I walk to the front door which is already open as I near it. “Ms. Claire, how are the babies?” “They’re good. I have some news for you?”“You are coming home?” She asks hopefully as she waits for me to announce the news.“No.” I nod sadly and try to s
