The Billionaire's Confession: Love after Divorce Chapter 40
SHE CHEATS Lana pov“Please clarify whether you would rather have a husband or boyfriend who is unfaithful. I find it perplexing why men choose to cheat.” I stated this plainly while searching through the bookshelf near my office desk. My eyes scanned the room, looking for a specific document that should have been on the shelf, but it was nowhere to be found.“What do you mean by an unfaithful husband or boyfriend? Are you even considering your question?” Her tone dripped with sarcasm as she spoke, her attention focused on her phone, a smile indicating she was likely chatting with someone.In an attempt to capture her attention, I tossed a book in her direction, prompting her to lazily lift her gaze. “What is it, Lana? You pose a question I can't answer, so please let me be.”“No, I can't, sweetheart, because that foolish boyfriend of yours, who is so mindlessly keeping you company, is a complete cheat, " I replied gruffly, snapping my fingers in front of her as if she were my conce

Apology Donovan povI found it difficult to suppress the dream from two days ago, as I was eager to share it with Lana. I hoped she would forgive me and allow me to rest peacefully, free from any unsettling nightmares.“What brings you to my office? We do not have any scheduled meetings,” she scoffed, striking her fist against the table with such force that it sent a shiver of fear through me.I sneezed to the side, and as I lifted my gaze, our eyes met briefly before she quickly averted hers. “Can you please begin speaking, Donavon? Do not waste any more time,” Caroline's voice cut through the tension.“I implored Caroline, Could you kindly excuse us?”“Fine, since you prefer to keep your secrets from me, I will soon learn what Lana has to say,” she retorted. As she walked away, I observed her hand on the doorknob until she finally left the room.The departure of Caroline altered the room's ambiance, intensifying the tension. Lana's gaze was a blend of fury and intrigue. "Donovan,

COLD NIGHT Caroline povThe winter season enveloped me as I huddled beneath my duvet, feeling as though the chill had seeped through the fabric and wrapped itself around me. I had turned off the air conditioning, the fan, and anything else that might stir the air and send shivers down my spine. Alone in my room, I clutched my pillows tightly, curling my legs in an attempt to ward off the cold.I rolled from side to side on my bed, searching for a comfortable position that would keep the cold at bay."Oh Caroline, this cold is really getting to you," I murmured under the covers. Perhaps I should find someone to share warmth with; after all, love is often found in companionship. With a resigned shrug, I tossed aside my duvet and swung my legs over the edge of the mattress. As I made my way to the light switch, I caught sight of a shadow."Jesus Christ!" I exclaimed, jumping back and hiding behind the mirror, wondering who would be lurking around the building at such a late hour.

RECONCILATION Caroline pov “Why did you bring him to my house at midnight?” I glared at her, my anger palpable. My eyes widened in disbelief. “Why?” I questioned Lana, who stood there looking bewildered, tears streaming down my face. I despise my father, and the fact that she brought him here so early left me utterly perplexed. “Couldn’t you have waited until around 6 or 7 in the morning?” I grasped her hands, feeling a rush of adrenaline coursing through me. She shook her head and quickly enveloped me in a hug. “Caroline, are you experiencing some sort of mental distress? It’s past 6 AM, so why are you upset? He’s here to apologize and celebrate with you, Caroline.” Experiencing mental turmoil? Seeking forgiveness? Looking to celebrate? These thoughts spiraled in my mind like a whirlwind, leaving me feeling lightheaded and confused. I pushed Lana aside, my gaze sweeping the room in search of the source of my distress. Then, I spotted him. My father. He stood in the corner, h

Lana pov “Do you believe that accepting a ballet gown is a better option, implying that I will need to change into something more suitable?” “Miss, could you please bring another gown with lace? This one is quite revealing,” I remarked to the saleslady, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. The thrill of making sales before noon is unmistakable. “What’s so amusing that she can’t seem to stop grinning with that unattractive face of hers?” I hurriedly covered her mouth to prevent her from uttering the nonsense she was about to say. I looked at Caroline in disbelief, my eyes shining with understanding. “Don’t even think about softening your words for her; her sole purpose is to make sales,” I exclaimed, chewing gum slowly, my lips moving deliberately as if to emphasize my point. She shrugged, her eyebrows raised in defeat. My words seemed to have drained her of strength. “Caroline,” I called, wrapping my arms around her waist. “I’m not trying to be harsh, but it’s unwise to insult

THE MAN ON HODDY Lana pov We need to keep going. I can't understand why he's tailing us; it's insane, especially since I can barely manage the steering. The driver is speeding as if there's a strict rule against driving slowly. "Lana, he must pull over," Caroline insisted, jabbing my shoulder forcefully. "Why should we stop? I'm not behind the wheel, and we have an assassin on our tail. Do you really value your life so little?” An intense rush of adrenaline surged through me as I shot back, "Certainly, I cherish my life, but I refuse to let a lunatic control our every action. We need to shake him off, not pause for a leisurely chat." Her expression was filled with dread. “Lana, please. He's not going to kill us!” I tightened my grip on the seat, my knuckles turning pale. "Not if I can prevent it." The taxi careened around a corner, slamming us against the door. The driver shouted, hang on, “ladies! I have a plan.” He made a sharp turn into a narrow alley, the tires protestin

My father's safety Caroline pov “I wish to accompany him; I must see my father, Lana. Please, listen to me,” I implored, my heart racing with anticipation, unable to determine where to begin or what to say. "No, he is not revealing anything to us. The individual seeks your attention. Let us investigate your home for your father before jumping to conclusions," Lana proposed, placing her hands on my shoulders. Suddenly, the light illuminated the room, and the man in the hoodie vanished, leaving a note on the floor nearby. I turned to Lana. "Should we retrieve it? I do not want things to deteriorate further than they already have," I said, tears welling in my eyes, overwhelmed by the situation. Lana carefully picked up the letter, squeezing it in frustration, her fist tightly gripping the paper. I watched in disbelief, feeling a rush of adrenaline coursing through my veins as I focused on her clenched fist. "Why are you squeezing it? That could provide us with crucial inform

Lana pov… I entered my vehicle, started the engine, and drove away, tears streaming down my face as I focused intently on the road ahead. I must find a way to save Caroline; I cannot allow anything to happen to her, I stated, with a sense of calm. The drive to my home was several kilometers from the scene, with street lights illuminating the path, their yellow glow casting a dim light inside my car. Suddenly, my phone buzzed, causing my heart to race as I glanced at the caller ID and let out an exasperated hiss. I pressed the receiver button and switched to speaker mode. “What do you want? I don’t have time for this; I have other issues to address, so leave me alone,” I snapped before disconnecting the call, only for the phone to ring again. I hesitated briefly before answering. “What is it?” I inquired, this time my tone was more composed and measured. “Lana, Bryan is in the hospital and is requesting to see you. He hasn’t taken any medication or eaten anything unless he s

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
