The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 95: Leonardo’s POV
Claire and I take a drive to a large baby store downtown and begin shopping for the boys. I can see by her demeanor that she is still a little bothered. I’m sure that my question to speak to Charlotte rattled her but I felt that an explanation from her was needed and I felt it was only right to receive it in a controlled setting. I park and help Claire out of the car and we walk inside the store to see there are hundreds of aisle lines with apparel, furniture, toys and baby necessities. “Have you purchased anything for the boys yet?” I ask as I keep my hand on Claire’s back as we grab a shopping cart. “I have a nursery furniture set and some clothes. Jas got excited and bought the furniture set as a gift.” She says she begins pushing the cart.“That’s a nice gift.”“It is. She had it delivered on the same day. I met Julia that day and I was frightened so Nathan took me home.” She stops to see my reaction.“Did he see what happened?” I question.“No. He was holding our bags and came

I had my hopes diminished when I heard Leo asking to speak to Charlotte but the shopping was helping. I could tell it was exhausting for him but it brought me joy so he continued until our cart was overflowing. I bought almost double of everything for both houses. It seemed like a good idea as we wouldn’t be living together when the boys arrived. I could see the relief on his face when I told him we were done. He was exhausted.“That was nice of them to include a diaper bag for you.” He says as he pushes the cart out to the parking lot. “And it was just the right color.” I smile in return. I see Leo’s driver pull up to the car. “Is he taking us somewhere?” I ask confused. Leo had drove us here.“No. I texted him to take these bags back to the house and assist Elena once the delivery crew arrived with the furniture. I didn’t think everything would fit in my car.” He jokes as Arthur comes to help put the bags in the trunk and backseat. He nods hello to me and I wave shyly at him.“Tha

It’s been another day. I’ll be out of here by tomorrow night and I couldn’t wait. My freedom meant that I could see Leonardo again and finalize my pursuits in ridding him of his parasitic partner.I sit on my bed eating my breakfast as I hear the nurse knock at the door.“Come in.” I groan as I continue eating. “Good morning Charlotte! Today, you have another therapy session. Would you like to head over or would you like to go later?” She asks with a pleasant smile. “I’ll go later.” Couldn’t she see that I was still eating? What is it with this place?“They want you to confess.” My mother’s voice rings in my ears as I see her appear at the foot of my bed. I ignore her as the nurse agrees to come back in an hour and leaves.“Why the hell do you want now?” I ask annoyingly.“A confession.” She says as she stands tall.“Yeah, that’s not for you to decide, is it? You’re dead.” I mock as I finish my food.“You will never rid yourself of me until you confess.She threatens. She seems to f

I’m sitting in my office after having sent the testimonies directly over to the judge. He seemed pleased to see my diligence today. I sit back and wonder what could’ve happened to Charlotte to have made her so sour. To driver her off the edge to kill her own mother and hurt Claire so badly? It was unthinkable.My thought process was interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing. I see that Leo is calling me and answer promptly.“Hey, I’m at my office. Is everything all right?” I assume it has something to do with Claire and that thought alone made me nervous.“Claire is fine. I just dropped her off at Jasmine’s. I wanted to see if you had time to assist me in seeing Charlotte today.” He was serious. He had no intention of leaving this be and wanted to pursue an answer from her even if it hurt Claire.“Do you think that’s a good idea?” I ask as I text a few of my officers to inform them of Claire’s whereabouts to switch rotation as well as location.“I don’t know, man. There has to be a

At 3 AM, I had awoken to the ringing of a phone, rustling of the sheets and the thunder humming outside my bedroom window. It didn’t take long to recognize the ringtone I heard and understand what was happening in that moment. That was Charlotte’s ringtone. Charlotte was my husband Leonardo’s childhood sweetheart, and she had made a habit of calling my husband to her side at every opportunity even in the most impromptu hours of the night. And Leo had made a habit of being completely available after every call - explaining why he had personalized her ringtone in the first place. I listen at his side silently, waiting for the moment he would refuse to run to her side. A wishful thought I knew would never come to fruition. “Don't cry, I'll be there soon." After a few simple words, Leo quickly got up and prepared to go out. He hadn’t noticed I had been listening or conscious at the moment. “Are you leaving?” I say through a yawn. Being pregnant made me especially tire

I turned white at the thought of my husband in bed with another woman. Especially this one. “Are you sleeping in the same bed?” I knew Leo saw to her personally but sleeping in the same bed was past unacceptable. It was out of line.“Don’t blame him, Claire. He was just so tired after caring for me last night.” She lets out a chuckle. Charlotte had no regard for me or my marriage and had taken every opportunity to make that clear. “Why are you calling again?” She asks as if I’m disturbing her although she answered my husband’s phone.“Please let Leo know that I’d like to meet him for dinner at that old restaurant we love when he wakes up.” I tried my best not to sound hurt as I tell her. It was my wedding anniversary, and he had run off to be with Charlotte once again. This time, even sleeping in her bed.“I’ll let him know. Happy Anniversary, Claire.” She muttered my name in disgust and reminded me of my anniversary just to mock me and remind me that on my anniversary, my husband ha

Charlotte saw me and began to smile but I knew the smile all too well. It’s a maniacal smile. “Oh, Claire is here.” She said this to make sure everyone knew that the unwanted guest she anticipated had arrived. A guest they can all share a common hatred for. I knew coming here wasn’t a good idea, but I had to speak to Leo. It was our anniversary, and I felt nothing short of abandoned along with our growing child inside me. As soon as she said this. I hear Leo’s mother chime in. “Who invited you?” She asks with a disgusted face as she places a protective hand on Charlotte’s shoulder. “I’m sorry to overturn your anniversary, Claire. I had some exciting news delivered today and Leonardo was just so excited to share it with everyone.” She said this in a sad innocent puppy expression, knowing it’d convince everyone in the room that I was not only an enemy and outsider but a jealous and insecure wife. It didn’t help that Leonardo stayed plastered to Charlotte’s side. No hesitation of

“Leo - “ I stop when I see Leo start to walk towards the door. I hurry and grab his arm. “I still have something to tell you.” Leo pulls his arm back and turns to me annoyed and rubbing the back of his neck as a symbol of him becoming aggravated.“I need to go help Charlotte. We can talk about whatever this is once we’re home.”“Please don’t go” I ask in the smallest voice, but Leo turns the doorknob and leaves the room muttering the cruelest of words.“Don’t put me in the position to choose” and without even a glance back at me - he exited. I didn’t get the chance to tell him about our baby. I stayed behind in the library for a few more minutes. The loneliness I felt reached further than the depth of this room. I wasn’t welcome here. I’m not wanted here. Even my husband doesn’t want me here. I should leave. So, I put every effort in calming myself before leaving the library. I then make my way from the library door to the foyer, hoping to escape without being seen or better yet - hu

“Mason, do you really think they’ll put her away?” I ask as I hand over my testimony. I watch as Leo’s face is stone cold as he hands his over to Mason as well.“Yes. The judge is confident that the petition meets the legal standards. But this is only a temporary resolution, Charlotte will be released when they deem her fit or mentally capable.” He says coldly. It was a warning. Unless I pressed charges, Charlotte would be free once again. I look over at Leo and see his eyes change to a dark shade of green. A sign that he was troubled or upset.“Is there a way to meet with her while she is in the psych ward? I’d like to talk with her.” Leo asks. I’m shocked to hear his question.“I can arrange for that.” Mason says coldly. He knew this was upsetting to hear.“Why do you want to speak with her?” I ask sadly.“I just want to see if she’s getting better and has any explanation for what she’s done.”“She’s not sorry, Leo.” Mason interjects.“How can you be so sure?” He asks quizzically.“
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 94: Francisco’s POV
I sit in my bunk thinking about what I had just done. I wrote a testimony confessing that Charlotte is both unhinged and a danger to the woman she attacked. I wrote down every detail about our encounters and her manipulation. I discussed every occurrence in an effort to be with my son and save Roman after his involvement on my behalf. And for some reason, I felt nothing.After seeing Julia and meeting my son, there was nothing more important than my son. I needed to be there to raise him alongside the love I had thought I lost. Charlotte meant nothing to me anymore. With Julia and my son at my side, I had everything. I wait for Roman to be returned to our cell to share the news. He had already left to collect commissary and shower prior to my arrival. I needed to confer with him and share what I had done and I could feel that he would be proud of my decision although it meant breaking the code I vowed to hold for the rest of my days.I see Roman freeze as he enters and witnesses my p

I woke bright and early to head to the courthouse and meet with the judge following my petition filing. I knock at the door and wait for him to grant entry. “Chief Commissioner Mason, I didn’t expect you this early. Come in, have a seat.” I nod and walk over to a seat.“I got your message and thought it was best to come here first.” I respond as he sits across from me. “Is there a problem with my petition?” “Well I wanted to discuss your testimonies to support this petition. I see you have a sworn testimony from two incarcerated men. One being her father and one who seems to be of personal relation to her. But I don’t see a sworn testimony from the person who requested the Baker Act. I think it’d be best to suspend the filing until you get one from Leonardo. It would be crucial in approving this matter.” He hands me a paper with the printed concern.“I wasn’t aware that it would be necessary. Is there a deadline for this document?” “I would need it by tomorrow. I understand this Ch

I hadn’t noticed how much I missed Elena’s cooking until the sweet and savory scents woke me from my little nap. I see her bring a platter of plates - each a very sizable portion and the babies quickly make my stomach growl. I finish each plate happily until they are all left clean. Elena smiles as me happily.“The boys love my cooking! I am so relieved.” She then hands me a bottle of water and places another one on the nightstand beside me. “Don’t forget, Ms. Claire. You must hydrate. Babies need good water.” She says as she piles the plates back onto the platter. “Thank you, Elena. Everything was delicious.” I smile at her as I feel Leo staring at me.“My pleasure, Ms. Claire.” Elena gets up as if to leave and I ask if she’d like to feel the boys. She is surprised and looks at Leo for confirmation. He nods with a smile and she quickly sits beside me and holds her hand out gently.“Oh, they have grown! I feel the kicking!” She giggles as she brings her other hand to my belly and sof
The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal Chapter 93: Leonardo’s POV
The drive back to my house is quiet but I’m relieved to have Claire at my side. Once we park, I brag her overnight bag, open the door for her and assist her out of the car. I hadn’t noticed how difficult it’d become for Claire to move around.“Thank you.” She says as she is slightly breathless.“Of course.” I place a hand around her waist to assist her if need be as we get to the front door which swings open as Elena plunges herself forward to hug Claire.“Ms. Claire! I have missed you!” They embrace each other for a few minutes and Elena takes hold of Claire’s hand before swooping her away to the living room. I remove my suit jacket as I see her and Claire get comfortable.“How are the babies?” She asks eagerly.“They’re doing good. they’re growing very fast and have a healthy appetite.” I see Claire’s smile as she talks about our boys.“Are you hungry? I make your favorite snacks.” “That would be lovely, Elena. Thank you.” She replies with a smile. I place Claire’s bag on the stair
