The Billionaire’s Twisted Love Chapter 139
ARIANA'S POV The moon cast a ghostly light over the dense forest, illuminating my path as I trudged forward with Nate on my back. My legs were numb with fatigue, each step a battle against the gnawing ache in my bones. The leaves rustled around us, whispering secrets I couldn't understand. Fear clung to me like a second skin, its icy tendrils wrapping around my heart.I had to keep moving. If Detective James was truly the one following us, he’d return to the hideout and discover our absence. I couldn't risk heading back to the train station where he might be waiting, but I also knew Rob would eventually arrive there and find us gone. Desperation clawed at my insides.“Nate, swe

ROBERT'S POV The cold night air bit into my skin as I stared into the barrel of the gun, gripped tightly in Detective James’s hand. Detective James who had before come to stand at my doorstep offering to find Ariana. He was a dirty cop. I could see it clearly now. He would rather hold Reginald’s gun for him and do his dirty business than earn his pay legally.I stood there mulling over Reginald’s words in my mind. The woods around us seemed to close in, the darkness amplifying the tension. Nate was clinging to Ariana, and Sylvia and Josh stood frozen, eyes wide with fear. The flickering station lights cast eerie shadows, making Reginald’s menacing figure even more sinister.

ARIANA'S POV I stood there, rooted to the spot, behind Rob, my heart beating erratically. All I could think of were the pictures I had found of this man and my mother on the internet. How could he do this? How could he do this to my mother? How could he be so consumed by jealousy for my father who was now dead?The faint sound of sirens wailing in the distance pulled me from my thoughts. Rob cocked his head to the side, and I could tell he heard the sound too. My palms grew sweaty. I didn’t know how the police were heading in our direction, but I was grateful for it.Nate’s hand slipped out of mine, and I lunged desperately to clutch his tiny hand, but he broke into a run. Panic surged through me, and I screamed. The guttural sound I let out scared even me.Reginald shouted at Detective James to shoot. My heart jumped to my throat as I bolted after Nate. I grabbed hold of him in the darkness as the police cars got closer, their tires screeching against the asphalt.The gun went off al

ARIANA'S POV Anger surged through me like electricity the minute I sighted Odette. Her calm demeanor, standing by the police van, ignited a blaze of fury within me. Without thinking, I sprinted toward her, my vision narrowing to her smug face.“How dare you!” I screamed, my voice raw with rage. My hand connected with her cheek in a resounding slap that echoed through the night. The shockwave from the impact reverberated up my arm, fueling my anger further.Everyone around us froze, their faces reflecting a mix of astonishment and confusion. Sylvia and Josh were the first to react, rushing to my side to hold me back. But I couldn't stop. The words poured out of me like venom.“You have some nerve showing your face here, Odette!” I yelled, struggling against Sylvia and Josh’s grip. “What exactly is your aim? Haven’t you done enough?”Odette remained infuriatingly calm, her eyes cold and calculating. She adjusted her stance and looked at me with a patronizing smile. “I see your memory

ARIANA'S POVI couldn't believe what I had just heard. My father's largest warehouse burned down. This had Odette written all over it.As I stared at the remains of the smoldering structure on the news, a cold shiver ran down my spine. The warehouse wasn’t just any building; it was the backbone of my father’s company, the heart that kept the business alive. My mind raced, trying to piece together the implications of this disaster. My thoughts shifted to the state of the company. We had been teetering on the edge for months, the market pressures and relentless competition driving us to the brink. And now this. The loss of the warehouse would be a blow we might not recover from.

ROBERT'S POVA dull, throbbing pain in my abdomen brought me back to consciousness. I opened my eyes slowly, blinking against the harsh light overhead. My vision was blurry, but I could make out a metallic ceiling. Confusion clouded my mind as I tried to piece together what had happened. Then it hit me—I had been shot. The confrontation with Reginald Thornton-Frost flashed through my mind like a nightmare. Nate! What had happened to him? Had Ariana been able to get to him? Was he okay? Was he alive?I was on a stretcher and I knew I was being moved but by whom?I attempted to sit up, but the sharp pain in

ARIANA'S POVChaos swirled around me like a raging storm as I pushed myself up from the cold, sterile floor of the hospital corridor. My legs wobbled beneath me, but I couldn't afford to falter. Not now. Not when Rob's life hung in the balance. I scanned the frantic scene before me—doctors and nurses rushing past, alarms blaring, patients' cries mingling with the distant wail of sirens. My heart pounded, each beat a desperate plea for strength.“Josh! Where's Josh?” I shouted, my voice lost in the cacophony. But no one answered, their faces set in grim determination.I couldn't go back to get Babs and Sylvia. It would be too late and LaSalle would be long gone. I had to do this myself. I had to find Rob and save him no matter what it took.I clenched my fists, forcing myself to focus. I needed Rob and I missed him badly. He had been with me, and then suddenly he was gone. It was like the universe was constantly trying to keep us apart.And Victor LaSalle—oh God, that monster had him.

ROBERT'S POVMy eyes fluttered open, the sterile white of the hospital ceiling slowly coming into focus. The beeping of the monitors beside me was a steady, rhythmic reminder that I was still alive. Relief washed over me. I wasn’t being transported to my death this time. I let out a sigh, my body sinking deeper into the bed as the weight of the world seemed to momentarily lift from my shoulders.I was still basking in this relief and trying to remember what had happened in the parking lot when the door creaked open, and Josh walked in. His face lit up with a smile when he saw me awake. He looked exhausted, probably from making his rounds, but his eyes were filled with a warm relief.My heart swelled with gratitude at the thought that Josh was a friend and someone I could count on.“Welcome back to the land of the living, Rob,” he said, his voice carrying a hint of humor.“How long have I been out?” I asked, my voice rough and weak from disuse.“Five whole days,” Josh replied, his smil

ROBERT'S POVAriana's words hung in the air, their weight sinking into me. Pregnant. She was pregnant. I couldn't help it; I pulled her into my arms, holding her tightly as joy bubbled up inside me.“I can't believe it,” I whispered, kissing the top of her head. “I'm so happy, Ari.”As I held her, memories of the past rushed back. The day we lost our baby still haunted me. It was my fault. I had been reckless, and she had paid the price. I had never been able to forgive myself for what happened that day.The pain and guilt I felt back then came flooding back, but I pushed them aside. This was a new chance. I had to focus on the future, not the past. I had another chance to do it right now and I was going to seize it.“I promise I’ll do everything to protect you and our baby,” I said, my voice thick with emotion. “You won't go through that pain again.”Ariana pulled back slightly, looking up at me with those beautiful eyes of hers. “I know, Rob,” she said softly. “I believe you.”Her t

ARIANA'S POVAs the reception wound down, Josh's words echoed in my mind. My mother was here. I felt a mix of surprise and anxiety. Robert, sensing my unease, offered to come with me.“I'll go with you, Ari,” he said, his hand warm on my shoulder.I shook my head gently. “No, Rob. I need to do this on my own.”He nodded, his eyes full of understanding. “I'll be right here if you need me.”I took a deep breath and walked outside, my heart pounding in my chest. My mother stood by a water fountain, looking as elegant as ever. She wore a stunning dress that shimmered in the evening light, her hair perfectly styled. She turned as I approached, a hint of a smile on her face.“Ariana,” she said, her voice cool but not unkind. “Why wasn't I invited to your wedding? Or did my invitation get lost?”I swallowed hard, trying to find the right words. “I didn't think you would want to come after everything.”She sighed softly, her eyes studying me. “I was only trying to honor my husband's will, Ari

ARIANA'S POV Rob knelt before me, holding out his grandmother’s ring. It sparkled in the light, reflecting the warmth in his eyes. My heart pounded in my chest as the reality of the moment hit me. Rob was asking me to marry him, not out of necessity or convenience, but out of love.“Ariana,” he said, his voice steady and filled with emotion, “I never formally asked you to marry me. Our marriage was one of convenience. But now, I want to ask you properly. This ring belonged to my grandmother. Will you marry me, this time in the right way?”For a moment, I was too stunned to speak. Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. It felt like the universe was finally looking upon me with kindness. How long had I longed for Rob to want me, to love me? Now, here he was, making my dreams come true. Overwhelmed, I started to sob, unable to contain the avalanche of emotions.“Yes,” I whispered, my voice choking with tears. “Yes, Rob, I will marry you.”I stretched out my hand, and he gently

ROBERT'S POV The judge’s words echoed through the courtroom, but the specifics blurred in my mind. All I heard was the end result: Nate would be ours. A rush of joy surged through me, and it took every ounce of my self-control not to jump up and shout with happiness. I squeezed Ariana's hand, feeling her warmth and strength beside me. This victory was beyond anything I had dared to hope for. Josh’s character witness had been the tipping point. His words had painted a picture of me that even I hadn’t fully seen. We left the courtroom, the heavy doors closing behind us with a finality that signaled the end of a long, hard journey. Outside, Sylvia and Josh were waiting. Ariana and I exchanged a glance, and she broke the news.“Nate's ours,” she said, her voice choked with emotion. Nate’s reaction was instantaneous. He ran toward us, his little face lighting up with pure joy.“Dad!” he shouted, launching himself into my arms. I caught him, hugging him tightly. His small arms around my

ARIANA'S POV The judge’s voice echoed in the courtroom as she read out Josh's character witness statement. My heart swelled with gratitude for Josh. I had never known he thought so highly of Rob or that Rob had been so tormented when I had gone missing. Our relationship had seen many ups and downs, and there were times I could hardly believe we had arrived here, together and happy.As the judge adjourned the case, Rob and I walked out of the courtroom. Outside, Sylvia and Josh were waiting for us. Without warning, Rob enveloped Josh in an embrace, thanking him profusely. I stood there watching, admiration shining in my eyes.Sylvia rolled her eyes and said, “Alright, break it off, you two. How did it go?” she asked.“The judge will give her decision tomorrow,” I replied.Sylvia then turned to Rob. “It seems you have a chance of winning. With so much against you, it was supposed to be an open and shut case. But if the judge is taking time to make a decision, she’s surely considering e

ROBERT'S POV As we stepped out of the courtroom, I felt like I could finally breathe again. The whole process had been suffocating. My life, with all its mistakes and regrets, laid bare for everyone to see. The fact that I had been about to marry one sister but ended up sleeping with the other still made me cringe.Jason caught up with us, looking serious. “Rob, we need to talk. The judge will need that character witness now more than ever. You also need to decide if you’re willing to share custody with Margaret or if you want to go for full custody. With your history, it might be wise to accept partial custody if it’s offered.”Jason’s words hung heavy in the air as he left us alone. Sylvia, ever pragmatic, sighed. “I hate to agree with Jason, but he’s right.”Ariana stepped closer to me, her eyes filled with regret. “I wish I could write the character witness, Rob. I should be the one doing it, but given everything that’s happened…”Before she could finish, Josh spoke up quietly. “

ARIANA'S POV Seeing everyone smiling again, my heart swelled with happiness. A year ago, I never would have believed that life could turn out this way. I never would have imagined myself as friends with someone like Sylvia. I sighed contentedly, not at all unhappy about the change. I was happy.Rob filled Sylvia in on the custody case, explaining the complexities of the situation. Sylvia, her fierce determination back in full force, insisted she needed to meet Rob’s lawyer, Jason. She scoffed, “He sounds like a sorry excuse for a lawyer. We need someone who can actually fight for you.”As the night wore on, fatigue eventually took over. I woke up the next morning to find myself lying on Rob's chest. His steady breathing was soothing, and I could hear the soft snores of Sylvia and Josh nearby. Sitting up carefully, I looked around and smiled. Despite everything, we were together.The next two days passed in a blur of preparation and anxiety. Sylvia grilled Jason over the phone, deman

ROBERT'S POV As Ariana's words sank in, a wave of relief washed over me. She might know where Josh was. But another emotion tugged at my gut, something more unsettling. Ariana had been sitting beside me, her mind clearly elsewhere—thinking about Josh. That was the only explanation.For a heartbeat, I thought back to the time when Ariana had no memories. When I had made her fall in love with me all over again. Things had been better between us then, without the shadows of Flora and Josh hanging over us. It was like starting on a clean slate. But as soon as the thought crossed my mind, I shook it off. Ariana loved me. That was all that mattered.“Ari,” I said, keeping my vo
The Billionaire’s Twisted Love Chapter 177
ARIANA'S POV A sickening feeling gnawed at my stomach. I didn’t know why, but the sense of dread was overwhelming. The memory of Josh grabbing hold of me and then letting go as he drunkenly declared he didn’t love me flashed through my mind. He had been drunk and unstable. Where could he have gone? Sylvia's round eyes looked up at me, filled with anticipation, as if she believed I had the solution. She seemed to think I knew Josh better than anyone else. I didn’t want to disappoint her. Desperately, I glanced at Rob for help, but his expression was unreadable.“Everyone, calm down,” Rob said firmly. “Josh is probably not in any danger. All our known enemies are behind bars. Reginald and Detective James are serving time, and Odette i
