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

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
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 103: Claire’s POV
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
