The Billionaire’s Twisted Love Chapter 29
ROBERT’S POV It was all surreal and happening too fast. A part of me wanted to believe Emily but could not. The other part of me believed that Ariana was telling the truth and Flora had indeed committed suicide. I had no idea what to believe more. Emily had pretended not to know me when we first met so how could I believe her now? And from where was she getting her information?It was Mr Vanderbilt's voice that brought me back to the present.“What do you mean by that?” His voice boomed.“Ask Emily”, M

ARIANA’S POVRob and I drove back home in silence. The air in the car was thick with all the things we wanted to say but refused to say. We had silently and wordlessly agreed that my car would be left behind to be driven home later by a driver.For some reason, we both wanted to be together. The last few hours had seemed like a dream and I felt like I was hanging on a precipice. There were so many words I wanted to say to Rob. I wanted to yell at him and scream at him but another part of me just wanted to hug him for the way he had stood up for me to my father.He probably didn't believe Emily after all. But I was mad that he had even thought of it.By the time we entered the town, it had started to rain and as torrential rainfall tore at the sky, I was assaulted with flashes of memories of Rob and I created during thunderstorms. For some reason I could not yet explain, I needed him. In my arms. I relaxed on the passenger's seat and studied his profile now.He had always been hand

ROBERT'S POV I don't know what reaction I expected from Ariana but I know I did not predict she would sit so still and that I would be able to hear all the little noises in the house including the hum of electricity because of the silence that descended.I wanted her to say something, to yell, to cuss at her parents but Ariana sat so still like a beautiful porcelain doll I felt as though she would shatter into a million fragments if I touched her.“I'm going to work. I have a meeting with my board members”, she said standing up and heading upstairs.I was shell shocked that I stood there for several minutes. When I recovered, I bounded up the stairs after her.“What do you mean you're going to work?” I demanded.“You heard me clearly Robert, I'm going to the office”, she said undressing. Tossing her clothes on the floor.Ariana never did that even though the housekeeper wouldn't mind. Ari was too prim and proper to have her things lying around.As she stood in front of me, all I coul

ARIANA’S POVRob rose to his feet with immediate alacrity and he seemed to tower over Detective Parker who sat there looking scared for his life.“I suggest you leave my house this instant, Detective Parker”, Rob said thunderously.“Mr Stone, you do realize that if you do not submit…”““You do know who I am, right? I wouldn't want to get my friend, a mafia Lord, involved. But if you continue to use untenable arguments to hurt my wife, l'Il let you, and your family know what it's like to experience the wrath of a mafia gang”, Rob threatened in a cold voice that immediately shut the Detective.He silently packed his documents into the file and exited the house.As soon as he left, I flung myself into Rob's arms, embracing him. I knew he was just making a threat and messing up with the mafia is the last thing he wanted to do. I was grateful and relieved all at once. I felt seen. Noticed and most of all…loved.Rob said nothing but enveloped me in a hug and when I pulled away from him, he

ROBERT'S POV I had heard tales from my parents about how stubborn and formidable Mr Vanderbilt could be. He obviously had not climbed the corporate ladder by being nice. To have come from nothing to the second richest man in Chicago, he must have had to made ruthless business decisions.It was standing before him and trying to convince him to drop the case against Ariana that made it all real for me. I then knew that those tales about him were not fables but reality.Mr Vanderbilt was stone cold.“I know Ariana is your wife Robert but stay out of this. There's nothing you could say that would convince me to drop this case”.I sighed exasperatedly. He was tough as nails. Why on earth would a man want to see his daughter prosecuted for a crime as cruel as murder?I could not wrap my head around it.“You realize that if you continued with this and Ariana is found guilty, you would be losing two daughters?” I asked him. “If she is a murderer, then she's no daughter of mine”, he said fl

ARIANA’S POVIt felt like my world ended at that moment. I suddenly could not breathe and began to feel my heart beating rapidly against my chest. I swooned and felt Rob hold me steady. “What? What do you mean?” I asked.“Nate is Flora's son”, my father repeated.“What do you mean?” It was Rob this time around.I finally raised my head up long enough to look at him. I saw a shadow pass over his face. There was more than one question on his mind and my heart began to break into a million fragments. I was finding it difficult to wrap my head around this new information. Flora had a son? And my parents had withheld that knowledge from me? I stumbled again and this time held on to my father's desk for support.Life seemed to be dealing me blows from different angles.“Flora fell pregnant a year before her death”, my father said in a low tone.“You mean you've been hiding that child from me for years? Flora was hiding him from me too?” I nearly screamed.Rob started to walk towards me bu

ROBERT'S POV Damn! Ariana runned away in front of everyone.What was she thinking? Was this her form of revenge? Why couldn't she think of the little boy? A part of me wanted to stay back and handle the situation. Talk to Nate. Say something to him. Anything. But I ran after Ariana. Determined not to let her go. Thankfully, she had walked there and was now walking hurriedly to wherever she had parked her car.“Ariana, Ariana please stop”,

ARIANA’S POV The headline was a disaster. No PR manager could save me from this. Unless the investigation proved I was not Flora's murderer, I was doomed.Unable to bear it any longer, I abandoned Rob in the office and ran downstairs. It could only be Emily or Detective Parker that had told the press. They were out to get me and it showed.Rob did not come after me thankfully. I needed space from him. I had no idea why I had even run to him in the beginning. I had to learn that he would never love me as much as he loved Flora. They had a son together. I had avoided him for days since the encounter at my

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. “
The Billionaire’s Twisted Love Chapter 179
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
