The Billionaire's Confession: Love after Divorce Chapter 17
Missing child Lana povI settled onto the couch alongside the young boy, who was engrossed in playing video games with me. The emotions I experienced in his presence were difficult to articulate, especially considering the disparity between our feelings. "No, Lana, you've ruined it!" he exclaimed, his expression contorting in dismay as I inadvertently pressed a green button on the phone. "You shouldn't have," he murmured. I sensed the frustration that arises when one's efforts are thwarted by another. "I apologize, Bryan; I was merely attempting to assist," I responded, my voice barely rising above a whisper as I nibbled on a bowl of popcorn. "My mother always talks about getting me more toys, but she never actually does," he remarked. I rolled my eyes upward, his words striking a painful chord and evoking memories of my own child. I realized I needed to locate the orphanage and reclaim my child.As I sat in contemplation, attempting to navigate my emotions, Bryan unexpectedly t

He is acting strange Donovan pov.A knock resonated through the door, causing my heart to race as I anxiously peered outside, hoping to see our child. It was nearly 9 PM, and there had been no updates from the police or any reliable source regarding our son's whereabouts. "What is wrong with you, Sarah? Stop crying and answer the door," I growled, pacing back and forth in the living room, the weight of our son's disappearance pressing heavily upon me. Before I could even take a deep breath, I heard the door swing open. She could hardly contain her anticipation for her son's return. I muttered to myself as I sluggishly approached the door to witness the moment for myself. My heart raced at the sight of my son standing on the doorstep. "Bryan!" Sarah exclaimed, her voice echoing through the room as I opened the door, allowing her to enter with Bryan. It was surprising that we did not see who had brought him home. "Bryan, sweetheart, where have you been? Mummy has missed you so much

Caroline povI observed her lips moving as she spoke nonsensically. How could she even contemplate borrowing a child for a few hours, nearly extending it to an entire day? "Please, Lana, can you cease your chatter?" I implored, my voice barely rising above a whisper, as I directed a determined gaze towards her. "I cannot refrain from speaking, Caroline. What about the child? He might open up, despite my pleas for him to remain silent," she replied, pacing anxiously at the entrance of the café. I could see the fear in her eyes; she was not only attempting to steady herself but also escalating the tension. "It is foolish of you to believe that the young child will not refer to you as 'Lana,' his adopter. Prepare yourself for the consequences," I warned. At that moment, she halted her pacing and grasped my wrist tightly.‘What shall we do now? I find myself missing my child, Caroline. Surely, one cannot fault a mother for longing to hold her child, can they?” She understood my sentime

FIRST DEAL WITH HIMLana povI have come to the realization that I must provide Donovan's company with an opportunity, primarily due to their son; however, I wish to conceal the underlying motive behind my decision. As I stood in front of the mirror, I reflected on this matter, acknowledging that it is a thought that may linger for the next twenty millennia. I twirled playfully, admiring my reflection from behind. After a few minutes, I completed my transformation. “Oops…” I let out a small snort. Finally, I applied my lip gloss, blowing kisses to my reflection in the mirror as I whispered softly. Upon arriving at the office, it was evident that everyone was deeply engrossed in their daily tasks, underscoring the busy schedule we maintained with Donovan's firm and several other reliable associates. "Good morning, Mrs. Lana, you look lovely as always," one of the staff members remarked, her gaze fixed on me while she organized some files on her desk."Good morning, Jessy," I responde

She's heartless Sarah pov"Lana, are you there?" Bryan inquired calmly, a smile directed at her that appeared somewhat out of place. I found myself questioning how he even knew her name as I observed his focused attention on her. She did not extend a warm greeting; instead, she offered a smirk to a young boy who seemed completely unaware of the situation. "You are quite arrogant, Lana; the boy is merely showing interest in you as any child would," I remarked, my voice tinged with frustration. Her expression shifted to one of distress as she rose from her seat, yet rather than escalating the situation, Bryan intervened. "Mrs. Lana, I hope we are not causing any inconvenience. My mother and I can leave if our presence is unwelcome," he stated gently, his soft voice cutting through my anger like ice. I contemplated the urge to confront her, perhaps even to pull her hair in frustration. "Bryan, dear," I called to the young boy, whose eyes were welling with tears. "We will be departin

A BUSINESS TRIP WITH MY EX HUSBAND Lana povThe receptionist informed me, "Ma'am, we only have one room available for both of you," her tone dripping with insincerity. I struggled to comprehend the absurdity of her statement. "Listen, he’s not my husband; we’re here for a business meeting. Find us another place," I retorted, casting a glance toward Donovan, who was preoccupied with a phone call to Sarah. She seemed to be the one who could help us.I placed my hands on the counter, waiting for her to check the room listings, but she merely raised her eyebrows and shook her head. "I’m sorry, ma'am, but this is the only available room," she replied. Frustrated, I called out to Donovan."Donovan, we need to book another hotel; we have a deal to finalize tomorrow," I snapped, glaring at him in anger. He hesitated before putting his phone away.He gestured toward me, and I felt a wave of disgust. "What’s the issue, Lana?" he asked, reaching out to touch me, but I recoiled, my anger boilin

I WANT HER, BUT I CAN'T HAVE HERDonovan povI could sense my arousal intensifying, the desire overwhelming as I envisioned her figure. The thought of being with her consumed my mind, and I found myself fixated on Lana. I regretted my previous behavior, assuring her it was unintentional. My heart raced with anticipation and longing.To be honest, I would go to great lengths to be with her tonight, even if it meant she had to reconsider our arrangement.As I reached for the doorknob, ready to turn it, the door suddenly swung open. Her eyes flashed with anger as she brushed past me, her breath warm and commanding. "What were you trying to do?" she demanded, fixing me with a piercing gaze. I was at a loss for words, unable to explain my intentions. I stood there, captivated by her flawless complexion, realizing how much she had transformed; she was even more stunning than I had ever imagined. Lana's gaze sharpened, her jaw clenched as she folded her arms in a defensive posture. The atmo

Her instincts Lana povIt's been three weeks since my return from the disastrous business trip with Donovan. What should have been a routine work engagement spiraled into chaos, and I was convinced it would be the last I traveled with him. “Did you sleep with him?” the question sliced through my thoughts, cursing my heart to race. She shouldn't have just asked that. “I have this feeling you were involved with him, even if it was just a brief encounter- nothing at all?”Her intensity felt like a spotlight, and I struggled to look her in the eyes. My heart raced as memories of the night surge back- the almost kisses, the way he had stormed to me in the bathroom. I desperately tried to suppress those thoughts.“No, nothing like that occured.” I lied, pulling the duvet tighter around myself to shelf my face from her relentless scrutiny.In a sudden burst of anger she yanked the duvet away, her fury evident. “I'm talking to you, Lana! You slept with your ex-husband, didn't you?” Her voic

The Truth Unfolds Lana’s POV I sat in the living room, the weight of everything pressing down on me like a heavy blanket. My mind spun with all the revelations from the past few days—Leo’s betrayal, Sarah’s twisted games, and the danger we were all in. It felt like the walls were closing in on me, and I had no idea who to trust anymore. Donovan stood by the window, his face unreadable as he stared out into the night. The silence between us was thick, and I knew there was more he hadn’t told me yet. I could feel it in the air, a tension that seemed to tighten with every passing second. Finally, he spoke, his voice low and strained. "Lana, there’s something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you a long time ago." I looked up at him, my heart pounding. "What is it, Donovan? I don’t think I can handle any more surprises." He turned to face me, his eyes filled with a mix of guilt and determination. "Remember when we thought I couldn’t have children? When we believed I w

Truth Lana’s POV My hands shook as I stood over the knife, my heart pounding. The air felt thick with tension, and I could hardly breathe. Leo was still wrestling with the stranger on the floor, and I knew I had to act fast. “Get off him!” I shouted, hoping to break through the chaos. Leo glanced up, his face smeared with sweat and determination. “Lana, I can handle this! Just—” But before he could finish, the stranger threw him to the side. Leo hit the wall with a loud thud, and I winced at the sound. “Now, where were we?” the man said, grinning menacingly. I tightened my grip on the knife, trying to steady my racing thoughts. Who was this guy? Why had he come here? “Get away from him!” I yelled, stepping forward, ready to protect Leo at all costs. The man turned his gaze toward me, his smile widening. “You think you can stop me? You don’t even know what’s happening here.” “What are you talking about?” I snapped. He straightened up, brushing off his clothes like he

The Storm Lana’s POV My heart raced as I looked from Donovan to Leo, who was blocking our only way out. The air was thick with tension, and the darkness felt like it was closing in on me. I had never been so terrified in my life. “Lana, listen to me!” Donovan said urgently, his eyes fixed on me. “We can’t let him get to you. We need to stick together.” “Together?” Leo sneered, stepping forward. “Do you think that will save you? You’re both just pawns in my game.” “What game?” I shot back, trying to keep my voice steady. “What do you want?” Leo grinned, but there was no warmth in it. “I want everything. You, Lana. Your trust. Your love. I want to destroy Donovan, and you’re the key to making that happen.” I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. How had I misjudged him so completely? I had thought Leo was my ally, someone I could trust, but now he was showing a dark side I had never seen before. “Lana, don’t listen to him!” Donovan shouted, stepping protectively in front of me. “

All Lies Lana’s POV The night was thick with tension, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being watched. Sarah and I sat in the dim light of the cabin, huddled together as we planned our next move against Donovan. I tried to focus, but my mind kept drifting back to the shadow I had seen outside. “Lana, are you even listening?” Sarah’s voice cut through my thoughts. “Sorry, I just…” I hesitated, trying to find the right words. “I keep thinking about Donovan. What if he is coming for us?” Sarah rolled her eyes, irritation flashing across her face. “Donovan is a monster. He will do anything to get to you. We need to stay focused.” As she spoke, I felt a knot tightening in my stomach. Something didn’t feel right. The more I thought about it, the more I began to question Sarah’s intentions. Was she really on my side, or was she just trying to protect herself? Suddenly, the front door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside. My heart raced as I turned, ready to confront

Unexpected Lana’s POV The days following Donovan’s death—if it was even that—were a blur. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare, each moment dragging on as I tried to process everything that had happened. Leo was gone. The thought crushed me. I could still hear his voice, his laughter, and his promises echoing in my mind. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the wall, my heart heavy with grief. Leo had fought for me. He had given everything to protect me, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had failed him. I should have been there. I should have done something more. “Lana, are you okay?” Caroline’s voice broke through my thoughts. She stood in the doorway, concern etched on her face. I forced a smile, but it felt hollow. “Yeah, just thinking.” “Thinking about Leo?” she asked gently, stepping closer. I nodded, tears welling in my eyes. “I can’t believe he’s gone. He didn’t deserve this.” “I know,” Caroline said, sitting beside me. “He loved you, Lana. And you loved

The Truth UnveiledLana’s POVThe chaos in the cabin was overwhelming. I felt my heart racing as Donovan’s men stormed in, and I barely had time to process what was happening. The air was thick with tension, and I could hear the sound of fists hitting flesh, shouts of anger, and the shattering of furniture. I had to focus. I had to protect Sarah.“Sarah!” I yelled, scanning the room for her. She was pressed against the wall, eyes wide with fear. “Lana, get out!” she shouted, her voice trembling. “They’re going to hurt you!”I pushed through the crowd, trying to reach her. But just then, Leo stepped in front of me, brandishing an axe with fierce determination. “Stay back!” he warned, ready to defend us. Suddenly, I heard Donovan’s laugh cut through the chaos. “You think you can save her, Leo?” His voice dripped with mockery. “You’re out of your league!”Without warning, a loud crash reverberated through the cabin as the front door burst open. Donovan stood there, a twisted smile on

BetrayedLana’s POVRunning through the thick trees, I could hear the sounds of footsteps pounding behind us. Panic surged in my chest. We had to get away before they caught up. “Where do we go?” Caroline shouted, glancing over her shoulder. I didn’t have a plan. “Just keep moving!” I yelled back, adrenaline coursing through my veins. My mind raced as I tried to think of a way out. Leo and Jax were close behind, their faces set with determination. “We need to find shelter,” Jax suggested, his voice steady despite the chaos. “There’s a cabin nearby. If we can reach it, we might be safe.”“Let’s go!” I replied, pushing through the branches that scratched my arms. My breath came in quick gasps, but I focused on putting one foot in front of the other. As we ran, I felt a twinge of guilt for Sarah. I couldn’t deny the pain she had caused, but there was a part of me that wondered how she had ended up this way. Did she ever have a choice? “Here!” Jax pointed ahead, and I saw the outline

ReckoningLana’s POVThe sound of gunfire still echoed in my ears as I rushed toward Sarah, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I had never imagined my life would lead to this moment—facing the woman who had caused me so much pain. Jax was right beside me, his expression fierce and focused. “Watch out!” he yelled as Sarah fired again. I ducked just in time, feeling the heat of the bullet whiz past my shoulder. “We need to flank her!” I shouted, trying to think clearly in the chaos. I signaled to Leo and Caroline, who were hiding behind the trees. They nodded, understanding the plan. “On three!” Jax said, his voice steady despite the chaos. “One, two, three!”We all moved at once, rushing toward Sarah from different angles. She looked frantic, scanning for us, her gun shaking in her hands. “Get back!” she screamed, her voice breaking. But we didn’t back down. I felt a surge of courage. This was my moment to take control. I could see the fear in her eyes as she faced us, her brava

The Calm Before the Storm Lana’s POV I felt a wave of anxiety was right over me. A hidden island? What if it was a trap? But there was no other choice; we couldn’t go back to the city. As we approached the island, I noticed that the trees loomed like dark shadows against the night sky. “What’s on this island?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. “A safe spot. I used to come here for quiet when things got crazy,” Jax replied, his eyes focused on the shoreline. We pulled up to a small, rocky beach. Jax quickly shut off the engine, and a heavy silence settled around us. I felt the weight of uncertainty pressing down. We climbed out of the boat and onto the shore, and I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. The air was thick with the scent of salt and damp earth. “Let’s find some cover,” Jax said, leading us into the trees. “We can’t stay exposed here.” As we walked deeper into the island, I felt a chill run down my spine. The shadows felt alive, shifting with every
