Chapter 97: Leonardo’s POV

Author: Nancii Agosto
last update Last Updated: 2025-04-15 19:35:54

I listen to the rain as I work on a few contractual agreements and architectural finishes in my home office. The pitter pattering reminding me of the early morning I left Claire’s side to run to Charlotte. The day everything began to change. I remember the disgruntled tone of voice I took to her as she asked if I had to leave. I acted poorly towards her in that moment and my behavior continued to tumble negatively throughout the day. I could never forget the way I treated her that day. It’s haunted me since.

I sit back and decide to do some research on a doctor said to cure muscular atrophy through a surgical procedure that has yet to make medical clearing. The doctor was well-known in creating medical findings and had a unique approach to treating physical disabilities. I decide to email him in an attempt to get Claire’s hand assessed.

‘Hello Dr. Asum, my name is Leonardo. My wife, Claire, was in a horrible accident a few months back and her hand was completely disfigured. After doi

    I ask Jas to come with me to help me pack up my suite and she agrees without question. We get dressed and wait for Leo to arrive. Nathan hands me a bag of snacks to take with me.“Just in case, you need a little energy.” He adds with a soft smile.“Thank you.” I say as I look into his eyes. For a moment, I feel glued to them but I quickly avert my gaze as Jas notices our staring at one another. Nathan leaves without another word.“Am I missing something?” She asks as she gives me a confused look.“No, why would think that?” “It seems like you have a little crush on Nathan.” Was it obvious?“Maybe it’s just my hormones but he’s been really sweet.” “Claire, you’re still married. I don’t think it’s a good idea to entertain it until you know where you stand with Leonardo.” She had a point. Just yesterday, Leo kissed me and here I was in this triangle of interest while pregnant with his kids.“Maybe you’re right. I so need to figure my next steps with Leo first.” I felt guilt. I didn’t w

  • 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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.
