The Billionaire’s Twisted Love Chapter 39
ARIANA’S POV“Have you lost your mind?” I asked in disbelief, my voice rising by several decibels.The nurses and orderlies were slowing their steps now to eavesdrop and watch what was happening.“I would advise you remained quiet Mrs Stone until we get to the station…”“You have some nerve thinking I’m going anywhere with you…”I began to protest as Detective Parker handcuffed me.“Do you know who I am?” I demanded several times, angry and feeling embarrassed. What in God’s name was the meaning of this embarrassment?I continued yelling at the detective as he led me out of the hospital and into the police car waiting outside.I was filled with rage. Rob would wake up and find me gone and he would not know the reason. I had to find who was setting me up this way. As I thought this, I instantly remembered with utter dismay that my parents had given the Chicago Police Department license to humiliate me in this manner because they felt I had murdered my own sister.At this thought, I sat

ROBERT’S POVI knew Margaret’s announcement would hit Ariana like a train wreck and it made me angry that I could not protect her. Ariana would probably think I had planned I watched Ariana’s face go through so many emotions all at once till she settled for sadness. She said nothing and instead left the hospital room. I noticed Margaret smile and go back to her magazine. I loved the idea of spending time with my son but I didn’t want it to be like this. I really wished things were better. I understood it must not be easy for Ariana knowing how Nate had come to be.No woman would be comfortable with the idea plus Flora was her sister.We all chatted a little with Barbara inclusive and then the doctor came in and discharged me with a warning to take things easy as I wasn’t totally in the clear. I was still to be heavily under medications but I couldn’t ask for much. I had brought this upon myself due to my recklessness.I was eager to go home and begin afresh with Ariana. Perhaps this w

ARIANA’S POVThere was a look of pain in Rob’s eyes but he knew I was telling the truth and I could see it in his eyes. It was the truth. I was scared of going there with them and having to feel inadequate and like a misfit. As long as Margaret Vanderbilt was there, it would be impossible to not feel out of place and like a fish out of water.“Ariana…no one is trying to make you Flora, we just want you to be you…only you”, Rob said.I scoffed and began to walk upstairs. He was just saying what he thought I needed to hear and I needed more than that. This was years of trauma and a few words was not going to change that. Rob was trying though. I had to ac

ARIANA’S POVI was too stunned to reply immediately and just continued hugging him, drinking in his scent then he pulled away from me and looked at me.I was about to answer when Rob walked up to us. I hadn’t even heard the sound of his footsteps and was startled to see him. “Having fun without me?” He joked innocently.I was happy for the distraction; I would have lied to Nate had he not showed up and I would not have liked that. I cleared my throat and watched as Nate quickly leaned into Rob.I cleared my throat and said, “I’ll join you guys later”, then I walked back into the room.When I entered the room, I rushed into the bathroom and began to sob. I felt like I was being assaulted by an avalanche of emotions. I was angry at Rob for having an affair with Flora but here was I loving his little son because I could not hate on an innocent kid.Nate had never done anything wrong to me and I was partly angry at my parents for keeping him away from me simply because he was a product o

ROBERT’S POVI was mad at Ariana and could not even control my rage. She was supposed to be watching him! Had she been trying to hurt him on purpose? Because why on earth was, she playing such a dangerous game with a child? Ariana should have known better and I was hurt. Nate was rushed to the nearest hospital where he was quickly taken to the ER.Margaret and Mr. Vanderbilt were panicking and adding to my fears and worries. We had all driven Nate to the hospital together leaving Ariana behind at the resort.I did not want to see her and felt she had done it on purpose. It was obvious she had simply been pretending to like Nate all these while and had decided to hurt him the first choice she got. “How did this happen?” Mr. Vanderbilt asked me for the umpteenth time. I continued shaking my head, saying nothing. Too angry to talk and wanting to shield Ariana from Margaret’s wrath.“He was with Ariana, he called her and she went to him. Did Ariana have a hand this?” He asked me again t

ARIANA’S POVI could not make sense of the words Rob was telling me. They were alienating me again, making me out to the bad guy, tainting Nate’s love for me. He was going to come out of that hospital room thinking I abandoned him for an “important trip”. I didn’t deserve this cold treatment from all of them. What was wrong with Rob? He was the one who had distracted me! Why was he choosing to hurt me in this cruel manner?“Don’t freak out, we can settle this in Chicago”, he told me now.“You dragged me out here Rob…” I was trying so hard to stop the tears from falling from my eyes but it was really difficult because I was d

ARIANA’S POVI let him into the house feeling awkward and very self-conscious. Just a few days back I had berated Josh for showing up at my home because I didn’t want my memories with Rob tainted and yet I had called him here. What did I aim to achieve?I wished I could figure it out but I knew that there was something electric between Josh and I, I just was not ready to pursue it. His presence was a welcome distraction from the thunderstorms and lightning bolts and the heavy rain beating against the house.It was a relief to have someone in the house. To simply not be alone.He did not ask me any questions. Not why I was alone in the house or why I had called him. He simply sat down on the couch next to me and lifted my feet onto his lap and began to massage my foot. I had not known how tired I was or how drained I was until he began to knead every knot behind my toes and in the ball of my feet.I moaned from absolute pleasure and he chuckled.I giggled and then stopped. It was inapp

ARIANA’S POV I couldn't believe my ears. My mother was really telling me this. She was saying it without remorse and very carelessly. It did not even matter to her that her words would hurt my feelings. “I… I d…don't understand”, I stammered.My mother stood up to go now. “My lawyer will talk to you”.“Mother!” I said, shocked. “You can't be serious. I haven't done anything to Nate to deserve this.”She ignored me and walked away and opened the door and left. I was left standing there stupefied.My mother could not mean this. She was just pulling my legs. I was hurt not just because I would not get to spend time with Nate anymore but because my parents thought I was capable of not just murdering Flora but also harming her son.What kind of a person did they think I am? What was giving them this mindset?I collapsed on one of the chairs heavily depressed and weighed down. I stayed there like that for a very long time unable to move a muscle and too weak to go and get something to ea

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
The Billionaire’s Twisted Love Chapter 180
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
The Billionaire’s Twisted Love Chapter 178
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
