I began to hyperventilate. I did not know what was going on but it felt like all the organs in my body were squeezing my heart together. I experienced a feeling of deja vu. This was what had happened to me in the hospital after my miscarriage.
It felt like time had stopped. Blood rushed to my head and I could hear the sound of blood in my ears. Everything around me became muffled.
Was Rob going to answer Nate and put an end to the bubble of happiness Nate and I had found in each other? This was my last thought before I slumped and fainted.
When I opened my eyes, the smel

ARIANA'S POVI felt a wash of shame just thinking about this and was moved to tears. I knew all these had happened when we were children and Flora probably didn't even remember this but how was I to know that all these had not motivated her to commit suicide?It was beginning to seem like I had been the villain in Flora's story. She had probably hated me while I was busy thinking she got everything from my parents.That was true anyway. My parents loved her more.My mom did not notice the change in my mood and went on talking about the good times we had all had and how I had tried to protect Flora so many times,

ROBERT'S POVI was trying to make sense of all that was happening around me. It seemed we were becoming a family and very fast at that. I knew I should be happy but I was rather destabilized. I was still stuck where I was these past weeks. How do I reconcile my love for Flora and the happiness I was feeling with Ariana?The truth was that I had loved Flora more than life itself. She had been my reason for existing. I had never met a more down to earth person and someone willing to follow her dreams. Eager to escape the shadow of her sister's success in the business world, Flora had buried herself in literature. Her parents had supported her anyway. But it was not an easy feat.She had been kind the first day I met her and had talked with me like a normal person. Girls usually saw me as a trophy to be won but she had seen me differently.Now, I was seeing a different side to Ariana and realizing that underneath her facade of a cold person only concerned with business, she was a nice wo

ROBERT'S POVI hit the floor with a loud thump and banged my head on the stool I had been sitting on momentarily clearing my head. Damn! Damn!! Damn!!! I frantically searched for my phone in my pocket and speed dialed Rufus, sharing my location with him, then I blacked out.I woke up the next morning in my bed with a terrible hangover. I rushed to the bathroom and vomited twice, my head banging with unbearable migraine.I had made a complete fool of myself last night. I swore to myself that I would never touch another bottle again. My memory was foggy but I remembered clearly that I had thought Emily was Flora. Ugh! How had that managed to happen? But a light bulb suddenly went up in my head! Yes, I had mistaken Emily for Flora but in my drunken state, I had had the willpower to refuse Flora! That was a win.I quickly took a shower and popped two aspirins to make the headache go away. I needed to return to the country. So much for morning’s first light. I resolved to go back and make

ARIANA'S POVI understood that Rob deserved to be sad about Flora's death but understanding was not the same as watching your husband sniffing your dead sister's clothes and crying. I had thought I had made peace with his love for Flora but in that moment, it became clear that I was wrong. I would never be able to accept that. Flora's ghost will always have a place in our bed.I fled down the hallways looking for an escape from that torturous scene. As I ran, the scene continued to play over and over again in my head. The sound that had come out of Rob was guttural. He was in pain. He was hurt. I could tell that he was longing for her with the way he placed that red dress close to his nose.

I watched until Ariana became a dot in the distance.By the time I was exhausted emotionally and returned to the drawing room, I met a quiet that was frigid. Margaret had questions in her eyes and when I asked after Ariana, she told me she had no idea where Ariana had run to.As it grew dark, I began to worry and even told them I was going out to look for her. Nate was still in his bedroom. He had refused to come out since and Margaret had gi

ARIANA'S POVI never knew Flora kept a diary. I remember her telling me that diaries were cheesy and an easy way to let everyone know your secrets. But if Flora had a diary, I wanted, no scratch that…I needed to read it.If it had made Nate know Flora was his mother then it most certainly contained information about other important issues.“I have been lied to my whole life?” Nate yelled.“Calm down little man”, Rob said to him.“Who am I? Why couldn't I have simply been told the truth? I can hand

ARIANA'S POV“You really want to read that now?” Rob asked me.I sighed, closing the diary and letting my shoulders fall. “I don't know…I do deserve the truth though”.He nodded his head in understanding. “But…but what if it changes the way you see her? The memories you have of her?”“Robert…can I ask you something?” I said.“Sure, go on”.“Okay, here goes. When you cam

ARIANA'S POVI had no idea there were tears in my eyes until I read the last sentence in the diary. It's a good thing I still have that gun kept on echoing in the recesses of my memory. It was like someone had put it on loop such that it would not stop.I was soon sobbing loudly, my heart breaking into a million tiny pieces, every fragmentation birthing several others. How had I been blind to Flora's depression? I remember the day we had gown to the dressmakers to try on my wedding gown vividly but I had been too wrapped up in myself and in the dreaminess of marrying Robert S

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
