The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 90: Leonardo’s POV
She was fine until I came along? What did that mean?“Joe, what changed in Charlotte after her relationship with Leo?” Mason asks as I sit there silently - trying to piece together what could’ve happened.“She became obsessed with regaining Leo’s love and affection. She became devoid of any other emotion. Her fixation on him grew.” He says to Mason.“Did she ever hear voices?” I interrupt.“No. Why would you ask that?” He seemed appalled.“Charlotte was yelling and talking to someone when we detained her but there was no one there.” Mason adds.“No. That’s not possible.” He shakes his head.“Did you know that she orchestrated attacks harming Leonardo’s wife?” Mason asks gravely.“No. I only learned this when she asked Francisco for more assistance in my presence.”“Did he agree?” I ask quickly.“No. He told her that he would not assist her in harming the girl any further and it enraged her.” I add.“Do you think she is a harm to herself and others?” Mason asks.“Yes.” “We want to get

We drive back to the city in silence. I could tell that Leonardo was stunned to learn about Charlotte’s true nature and it troubled him deeply. He knew Charlotte better than anyone else and he had no idea how malicious she truly was. I remember the day her house burned down. Leo saw her on the curb, walked up to her and hugged her deeply.He had no knowledge of her actions and felt the utmost concern and sadness for her. It was a pivotal point in her life as much as it was his. His kindness and protection to her had led to Claire’s attacks and he wasn’t prepared to face that or hold her accountable.“Are you okay, man?” I felt the need to ask as we reached his company’s building.“I’m fine. I’m just trying to understand how I could’ve been so naive to Charlotte’s ways.” He says as he looks up at his building.“She did a pretty good job at hiding the bad and the ugly until your divorce.” She had made sure there was no one to expose her secrets.“But I should’ve been able to tell. I sho

It’s officially been twenty-four hours since I was dragged here by force. And to my surprise, no one’s coming looking for me. Francisco hasn’t reached out since the mentioning of Dahlia, Leo hasn’t checked in on me, officer Mason hasn’t made any appearance and my father would be oblivious from the walls of his prison cell. I’m alone, except for the insufferable voice of my mother.“I have no intention of leaving you alone.” I hear her voice ring through my ears as I see her appear in the chair across from my bed.“You could never take a hint.” I murmur in a hushed tone.“You could never keep your jealousy and rage under control. I blame your father - he spent so much time indulging in the attention he gave you.” She crosses her legs as she speaks.“Is a hint of jealousy?” I mock. “Are you angry that father loved me more?”“No. I am mortified that you are all he has left.” “Seems like many emotions for a dead woman.” I seethe. She makes no sound or response. She simply sits there sile

“Charlotte, it seems like you’re guarded from me. I want you to know that I’m not here to cause you harm. I’m simply evaluating you to see how we can better assist you.” The therapist says calmly after I keep disguising myself from his questions and disagreeing with his perspectives.“With all due respect, I don’t need your help. I shouldn’t even be here.” I say as I shrug dramatically.“I know you feel that way but your report says otherwise and I’d like to understand more if you’ll allow me.” I listen to about half of his sentence when I see my mother’s silhouette appear behind him. I see her place her hand on his hand and feel rage while his words echo through me.“Is everything alright? You seem tense.” He asks suddenly.“I’m fine.” I reply quickly as I readjust my demeanor.“Okay, let’s continue.” He says as he turns to a new page in his notebook. “I read the article in which your mother was killed during a fire. How has that affected you?” “My mother’s death? It hasn’t. Not un

I finally make it to the courthouse and head to the judge’s quarters. I hand him my petition and explain my motion for filing. He nods without saying a word and I leave. It was now his job to review my request and documentation and assign a court date. Once a date was assigned, I’d ask Claire to appear to act as a a testimony of Charlotte’s character. It was hard to ignore what she had done especially when you look at Claire’s hand and how defenseless and kind she is. I think to go home but I’m hit with the need to find Francisco. I knew this wouldn’t be an easy task so I call in special task force. There was the possibility of him being protected and armed - he was a mafia leader after all. I send out orders and give out the address that Joe’s attorney had given me and make my way down the coastline. If Francisco was willing to retract his confession, I’d gladly take it in exchange for a statement from Charlotte and something tells me he just might with this Dahlia woman lingering a

I’m brought back to the jail without haste. I decided to allow my capture as I didn’t want violence to explode while my son was in the area. Julia made it clear of my choices and I knew what the right choice was. After I’m searched and processed, I’m brought to a private cell and told to wait. Someone clearly wanted to see me and it didn’t take a mastermind to know who. The question is who they wanted me to turn on - was it Joe, Dahlia or Charlotte? I ponder each direction in which this could go and I’m faced with opportunity in each one. Something that would not only work in my favor but allow me to get back to Julia and my son. After I explore each outlet, I am faced by none other than Chief Commissioner Mason and to my surprise, the Warden.“Ah, the faces who have drawn me from my cell. What can I do for you both?” I say with a smile. This was going to be good for me. I watch as they both sit and the Mason fellow speaks first.“Francisco, you’re in captivity due to a confession y

I race to Jasmine’s house and wait at the door. Once it opens, I see the face on the other side turn to shock. It was Nathan - her uncle. He steps aside and I nod before walking past time to find Claire in the living room. She was lying down and rubbing her belly on the couch. I notice how her belly has doubled in size since the last time I’d seen her. A sign that our sons were growing beautifully inside her. She shifts her weight and struggles to sit upright and I come to her side and assist her. “Are you feeling okay?” I ask instinctively. “Yes, I’m fine. It’s just hard to move around sometimes. What are you doing here?” She asks confused.“I have something’s I wanted to speak to you about.” I press. She stands and begins to walk to her room. I knew that meant that she wanted to speak in private and I follow her. Although I can feel Nathan’s eyes following me - much to my displeasure.“Can you close the door?” She asks as she sits on the bed, crossing her legs and filling the spac

I could tell that Leo’s anger was close to the surface. He was stressed and I could understand why, although I didn’t agree with his decision. I rush out when I hear him yelling at Nathan. I could hear Jasmine rush down the stairs as well.I call after Leo as I see him getting closer to Nathan. He was about to snap and I try holding his face. It was one of the few ways to soothe him. After he apologizes and turns to leave, I decide it’s best to follow him out and check on him. I had been harsh and I know that it led to tonight’s altercation. I follow him to his car and wait for him to turn his attention to me. “Claire, I didn’t mean to -“ I raise a hand to stop him.“You did and I know our conversation pushed you there. I was being too hard on you. I can see that you’re dealing with a lot right now. It was my fault.” I confess.“No, it wasn’t. I’ve been on edge since you left with our boys.” He looks into my eyes and I can see his sadness. I put my hand on his cheek again.“Claire, c

Elena was so kind as to prepare one of the guest rooms for me while Claire slept and Leo watched over her. I was laying in bed, thinking about the day we just shad when I can hear a knock at the door.“Come in.” I sit up and see Leo enter slowly.“Oh, hi Leo. Is everything okay with Claire?” Leo never came to my room before so something had to be wrong.“Can I talk you? Claire is asleep and I can only share this information with someone we both trust.” He says as I nod yes and beckon for him to sit at the vanity across from the bed.“I’m all ears.” I say confidently although I knew this couldn’t be good.“I really appreciate what you did today, Jasmine. You helped Claire in a tremendous way. I don’t know how I could ever repay you.” He says as he looks directly at me. He was sincere.“I wouldn’t be able to live without my best friend. I’m just happy that I was able to find a way to help.”“I’m thankful that Claire has a friend like you. Can I ask how you knew what to ask?” He really w
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 100: Charlotte’s POV
I sit in my room patiently as I watch the clock strike midnight. One more hour until I was free from this wretched place. I tried going to therapy again but it was useless. The therapist rather talk about my mother the entire time - a dead woman. It was unbearable and unappealing. “You are unappealing and unbearable.” She says pompously as she appears in the chair at my desk.“Good comeback, mother.” I roll my eyes as I continue pacing the room.“Just because you’ve left this place, does not mean I will leave you. I can’t allow you to hurt another soul.” She says righteously.“As if your corpse could rise from the ground to stop me.” I mock as I keep pacing. “I will do everything in my power to stop you from destroying the lives of those around you.” “I’d like to see you try, mother.” I dare as she sits back and watches me.“Besides, I plan on taking a new approach. Claire doesn’t have to die as long as she heeds my warning and being that I’ve already impacted her life twice - she
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 100: Leonardo’s POV
It’s about non o’clock when we finish every interview and collect a stack of testimonies. It turns out that Charlotte did indeed attack or harm six out of my nine previous partners. She had gone to many lengths to - poisoning their dogs, setting fire to their property, flattening their tires, damaging their windshields and even stalking one of them. But it just didn’t make sense. She went from bribing to threatening and then she went completely ballistic when it came to Claire. She escalated only mildly until Claire came into the picture.“Okay, that was everyone and none of these women received bribes from Charlotte. I’m assuming Brienne was the last. With that being said, each of their testimonies are vital pieces of evidence to her character and I’ll be leaving soon to bring these to the judge for tomorrow’s court hearing.” Mason holds hold his hand and I shake it.“Charlotte will be out soon, won’t she?” I ask, although I already knew the answer.“Yep. Her seventy-two hour hold is
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 99: Claire’s POV
I sit down with Veronica and Mason in the dining room to collect a written testimony and speak about what’s happened. I sit down across from her with Mason at my right side.“I want to say thank you for even coming, Veronica. You don’t know how much help you’ll be.” I start as Mason hands her the testimony form.“I couldn’t believe it when Jasmine said what Charlotte had done to you and shocked to see you so calm. It only seemed right that I did my part to stop her.” She says as she begins writing.“I heard what she did to your home. That’s horrible.” I add.“I was so scared when I saw what happened to my home that I sought refuge instead of fighting or pressing charges. I gave into her threats when I should have had her arrested. Maybe if I did, none of this would’ve happened to you.” She says softly with a hint of regret.“You’re doing more than enough by being here today. This will help Officer Mason in having her admitted to a mental institution where she won’t be able to harm any
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 99: Mason’s POV
We eat quickly after planning our elaborate day. Leo comes downstairs with a list of nine women along with their phone numbers while Claire speak to Veronica on the phone in the kitchen. “Thanks man. I’ll work on the first half of list and you can handle the second half. We’ll leave out Veronica since Claire seems to have that handled.” I tell Leo as I turn my attention to Claire who waddles into the room with a smile.“Veronica agreed to stop by and leave a testimony. She should be here in fifteen minutes.” “Perfect. We should schedule each of the women to come in thirty minutes apart. We don’t want to look like Leo’s forming a herim.” I look at Leo for confirmation. This wasn’t going to be the best time for him but it was going to ensure Claire’s safety.“You going to be okay, man?” I ask as I pat his shoulder.“I’ll be fine.” He replies peacefully as grabs his phone and begins dialing.I begin working on my list in the kitchen as Jasmine created a schedule of each of the confirme

We make it back to my home without a moment to spare. Mason’s car was already in the driveway. As we park, I open the door for Jasmine and Claire and I hold Claire closely as we head inside.I see Elena is serving Mason a cup of tea in the living room as we enter. She immediately redirects her attention to Claire and her belly.“Ms. Claire, you are bigger and more beautiful by the day.” She says as she takes Claire’s hand and guides to a comfy seat and moves an ottoman to elevate her feet. Elena then sits beside her and rubs her stomach.“You are a god-send, Elena.” Claire sighs as she melts into her comfort.“I got your juice, Claire.” Mason says as he hands her a bottle. “It’s a green juice for the babies.” I see Claire smiles as she takes it.“Always at the perfect time. Thank you, Mason.” Claire says nicely as she takes the bottle. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy watching Claire be pampered and loved by those who are close to me. She deserved every moment of it.“Nice to see
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 99: Claire’s POV
I didn’t realize Jasmine leave as Leo comforted me. It wasn’t until she busted through the door of the suite heaving and breathless that I noticed.“Jas, are you okay?” I rush over to her side and grab her arm to keep her from doubling over.“I - I hate stairs.” She says in between breaths. Stairs? Why would she run up and down six flights of stairs?“Did something happen?” Leo interrupts as he brings a chair for Jas to sit down. We both stare at her in complete confusion as she holds a finger out for us to wait. She continues breathing heavily and then swallows before beginning.“I had to catch up to Veronica.” She says quickly as she continues breathing.“Why? Did I forget something?” I ask as I bring her a bottle of water from my bag. I watch as she chugs just about the whole thing in one gulp.“No - well yes. Yes you missed something but it didn’t have to do with the suite.” She wasn’t making much sense and I look up to Leo for some sort of guidance when I see his face turn sour.
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 98: Jasmine’s POV
I take the opportunity to sneak out behind Veronica as Leonardo caressed Claire in her suite. I had to ask if Veronica has had any occurrences like Claire’s. I run down the stairs as the elevator was descending the floors to the lobby of the building and to my surprise, she had just gotten off the elevator.“Hey, Veronica!” I call out as I rush over to her while trying to catch my breath. “Yes?” She asks as she turns around. For a second, she seemed nervous? “Is it okay if we talk for a moment?” I ask as I gesture to a set of lounge chairs near the mailbox-lined walls.“Sure. Did Claire have any last-minute questions about her listing?” She said as she sits down across from me.“No. She’s confident that you’ll be able to sell her suite with ease.” I confess as I sit down and make eye-contact with her.“Thats great. I really do believe that this suite will sell immediately.” She says with a soft smile. “But you seemed to have rushed all the way down here to talk to me. What’s going o
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 98: Leonardo’s POV
I could see that Claire was terrified as the building came into the car’s view. Her body tensed and she couldn’t get out of the car. I offer my hand as a gesture that I would be with her through the whole ordeal and she takes it. We step through the front door of the building and cross over to the elevator. Claire remains silent and holds my hand tightly. The elevator dings as we reach the floor of her suite and she jumps slightly. I lean over and whisper to her. “I’m going to be here with you the entire time. If it’s too much for you, we can just leave.” I watch as her eyes dart in every direction as though she was expecting someone to come out of the shadows at any moment. Jasmine rubs her shoulder as we near the suite door. I slowly put out the key card to open it and rush to deactivate the security system I had installed just after her attack. I turn to see Claire is still in the doorway. I almost expected her to hurry out once my back was turned. I begin folding the boxes and tap
