The Billionaire’s Twisted Love Chapter 16
ARIANA'S POV“I don't understand," I asked, confused, “For what reason?”“C'mon, we have to go now”, Babs said in an urgent tone.She began to run and I followed her trying to keep up with my shoes and the big wedding gown. Few minutes later, we arrived at Flora’s hideout. It was an abandoned warehouse in the grounds of my parents house and we used to play games there when we were children.When we got in, we found Flora sitting on the dusty floor putting on the bridesmaid's dress she was supposed to wear to my wedding.“Flo?” I called softly.I saw that she had been crying, her face was wet with tears and her eyes was red. The warehouse was dank and dark and smelled really bad. I felt uncomfortable standing there. The rays of the sun were shining in through a broken part of the roof casting a beam of light on Flora.“I hear you want to kill yourself?” I said again. “Don't do such a stupid thing like that, okay?”“Babs, can you leave us?” She said in a squeaky voice. Barbara sighed

*****Past memories haunting my mind made my brain messy. After quickly washing my face with cold water in one of the bathrooms, I headed to Barbara without hesitation.“I need to leave this place”, I said to Barbara as soon as I saw her.“Why? I'm having fun,” she said with a frown.That was the problem with drunken Barbara, she could never sense urgency.“We have to leave now”, I hissed at her and observed Rob talking with Emily. I frowned.As soon as he noticed me, Rob left her side and headed for Barbara and I. Noticing he was headed in my direction, I abandoned Barbara and headed for the door.Rob was unrelenting and followed me till we were both out of the building.“What do you want for me?” I asked angrily.“The same thing I've been asking for for days now”, he said.“I don't have forgiveness for you please, leave me be”, I said stretching out my hand to hail a cab.Rob raised his hand and pulled mine down.“What's the matter with you Ari? We got here together”, he said.“Wel

ARIANA’S POVI kissed him back but suddenly stopped and pulled away, reclining now in the passenger seat. I wished he would say something. We were going to be stuck here for a while and nobody had exited the ball as yet.There was something about the night. Perhaps it was the torrential rainfall beating the roof of the car and the lightning tearing the skies apart and the booming thunder but the atmosphere in the car was charged. He then said, “Do you think in another universe you and I could be in love?”I was quiet for a while. Wondering if to answer.“I do not know Rob but I know that in every universe, I love you, perhaps more in each one because I've loved you from the first day I saw you Rob”, I finally said.It took a lot of willpower for me to say those words to him.The rain began to trickle to a stop and I said, “Take me home Robert”.We drove home silently all the way. I stared at his serious profile for a while. I could tell that he was holding his desire back, and so wa

ROBERT'S POV Ariana bolted from my body as if stung by an ant and it was then I realised what I had done.All through last night when we were sitting in the car, and I wanted to fuck Ariana so bad but knew from the way she ended the kiss and retreated, that it was forbidden.Last night was so great, better than every unimpassioned night I spent with her. I used to be so engaged with thinking about Flora and I now realized how stupid it was, to give a vulnerable woman a bad sex experience. Now, after everything I had the front to go and end it by mentioning “Flora?”“Ariana please”, I said, getting up from the bed in an attempt to stop her.“Don't touch me”, she screamed. “You're despicable!”She left the room, slamming the door behind her.“Damn!” I could only pound the bed with my fists.Ariana began to distance herself from me the more. No matter how hard I tried for our schedules to clash, Ariana was always a step ahead of me. The staff in Ariana's office soon became used to my

ARIANA’S POVDays rolled into weeks and weeks into months and the gap between Robert and I grew wider. Joshua and I met on a regular basis now but even I could not force myself to fall in love with him. Our meetings were mostly formal and even though he wanted more, I couldn't give him that. I was thinking of our brand branching into the pharmaceutical industry and Joshua's friend's father is the owner of the biggest pharmaceutical company in Chicago so we were striking a deal to benefit us all. Besides, a part of me still loved Rob. He was heavily invested and I had grown accustomed to the flowers on my desk and the romantic cards that accompanied them. I sometimes even searched for his face in the middle of a meeting and almost every time, Rob would be standing out there looking at me through the glass walls with such intensity, I could almost feel his eyes on me.It was all complicated. That day I had exited the boardroom and was slightly disappointed when I got to my office an

ROBERT'S POVHearing Ariana say what I had been dreading for months now was a slap in the face. It was like an echo of the words Dr. Josh had said to me the other day in the hospital parking lot.How had this suddenly become my reality?Why this sudden obsession with Ariana? Was it just a need to protect my business? Or was I really falling in love with Ariana?I said nothing to Ariana and simply bounded up the stairs to the bedroom and went into the bathroom to take a cold shower. I needed to feel something. I was married to a wife I couldn't touch and it was killing me. I had tried everything in the book to try to get her to fall in love with me again but nothing was working. What had I not tried? And how do I get Dr. Josh out of the picture?The next day, I met up with one of my closest friends and confided in him about my troubles. George and I had been friends since my childhood and he was the only person I trusted.“I think it's time to throw in the towel my friend”, George

ROBERT’S POVI was confused. What did he mean? Was he the son of one of the workers in the house or what?“Your grandma and grandpa?” I asked him, feeling stupid.“Uh huh”, he said. “Who are they?” I asked, my heart beating erratically against my chest as I began to notice things that had failed to grab my attention instantly.His eyes, there was just something about it that was very familiar, the structure of his face, the shape of his nose. Everything about the boy reminded me of either Flora or myself. It made me uncomfortable. “Who are they?” I asked him now, my voice tight with emotions.“Oh there you are!” I heard Mrs Vanderbilt exclaim behind me and I turned to face her.She seemed out of breath and had a frightened look on her face.“I see you've met my nephew's child, Nate”, she said breezily.I was perplexed and could only nod my head.Nate ran into her arms as if he just sensed her presence.“I want some chocolate, Nana”, he said.She rubbed his head affectionately. “Su

ARIANA’S POVI feared Barbara was up to something and she was not putting me in the know.Barbara was dangerous and from our conversation the other day, she was determined not to let Emily off the hook just like that. It scared me and at the same time, elated me that Barbara cared for me.I however did not want to do anything about Emily. A part of me feared that history would repeat itself. I actually felt guilty because of slapping her in the face that day but I did have a gut feeling that Emily isn’t what she looked like. I did not want to get locked in a struggle for my parents attention and most definitely had no intentions of listening to any of Barbara's ideas.Tired of fighting Rob, and thinking that after our last conversation he had probably let things go, I decided to return home and get some of my clothes.Ever since I announced to Rob that I was moving out, I had been living in one of my father's apartments in the city.I entered the house and met Rob's absence.We did

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
