The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 83: Charlotte’s POV
I watch the news as I have the housekeeper clean the broken glass from bedroom vanity. I’m left speechless as I watch the next new report.‘We are standing here today in front of the County Jail. Just earlier this morning around one in the morning, an inmate took advantage of a power outage and successfully escaped. Authorities are currently looking for this inmate to ensure the safety of our community. Here is a picture of the inmate at large, please call the anonymous tip line if you see this man.’The photo was Francisco. I had just seen him and my father and he’s now a fugitive. I check my phone and see no missed calls or messages. If he’s free, why hasn’t he called? And why didn’t he mention his plan to escape? Does this have something to do with this Dalia woman?Suddenly, I receive a text message from an unknown number.‘How sweet of your lover to run free. But please know, he cannot protect you.’I’m confused by its warning and decide to answer.‘Who’s this?’ I type back and w

I have one of the men in my empire pick me up at a bus stop just five miles short of the cemetery. Switching vehicles was crucial to being undetectable. I walk in with a black umbrella, sunglasses and a leather jacket. I search for the plot of charlottes mother through many tombstones and find her plot. A glorious granite slab encased in metal fencing. I find the key hidden under the first two steps. The plot was more of crypt but I expected nothing less coming from a rich embezzler.I read the tombstone as I pay my respects and make the sign of a cross across my chest.‘Here lies Charlene - a beloved wife, a carrying mother and a beautiful soul. May she rest in eternal peace.’Such kinds words for a woman who birthed what has now become an evil spirit. The fear she must have felt as her daughter set her ablaze out of jealousy. I look at the back of the stone and find a small inscription just as the bottom right corner. It was almost invisible to the naked eye. Just like her father sa

After Mason leaves, Jasmine takes the liberty of stepping out of the living room to call her security and request more men be posted at the property at night. I didn’t think it was necessary after I had seen their efficiency with the police the other night and with the everlasting fear that I’ve felt these last few months. I see Leo called but I felt it was a waste to answer. He still wanted to protect Charlotte and I had no say in the matter.“Hey, are you okay?” I look up to see Nathan is looking at me with the same look of concern I’d become so accustomed to.“I guess. This is just my new normal as of right now.”“It doesn’t have to be. You can file charges.” He says confidently.“I’m assuming Jas told you what I’ve been going through?” It didn’t bother me. Jas wanted him to be aware because we were all staying together and it’s only fair that he be aware of the danger that might surround him here.“She did. She didn’t want to but I think she felt obligated since I’m staying here.”

I see the way Nathan looks at her and it makes me just as uneasy as it did when Jordan looked at her the same way. I recall working with Nathan Carter on a few projects - his construction company was very meticulous in doing their work by a high standard of ethics - a trait I had admired although I spent very little time in letting them know that. As I grab Claire’s things, I see Nathan is watching her make her way to the car and I feel a pit of jealousy growing. Claire seemed to like his company and that didn’t sit well with me. I wanted Claire to see that I wasn’t going anywhere - not to be distracted by her best friends’ uncle and especially not when she was carrying our children. As I walk past Nathan, I stop to give him a look. “Is there a reason that you’re still watching my wife?” I ask calmly as to establish his position. “Just want to make sure she makes it to the car alright.” He doesn’t seem to hear the disdain in my voice and as soon as Claire makes it into the car, he

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

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 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

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

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

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 as sh
