The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 70 : The Cracks Begin to Show
Fabio woke up the next morning with an uneasy feeling. He couldn't shake off the weight of the previous night's events, and as he got ready for the day, he knew he had to keep his guard up. The web of lies he had spun around Sophia was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, and he feared the day it would all come crashing down.He glanced at Sophia as she slept peacefully beside him, her face serene and content. He wished he could keep her in this bubble of happiness forever, away from the dark reality of his life. But he knew that was impossible. With a sigh, he quietly slipped out of bed and got dressed.At breakfast, Sophia was her usual cheerful self, chatting about her plans for the day and asking about his. Fabio tried to engage, but his mind was elsewhere. He had to meet Marco later to discuss the next steps for the shipment and ensure everything was on track. The pressure of balancing his dual lives was becoming almost unbearable."Fabio, are you listening?" Sophia's voi
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 71 : The Unraveling
The next morning, Fabio woke up to an unusual quiet in the house. The kind of quiet that made his instincts twitch. He glanced at the clock—Sophia usually would have been up by now, making breakfast or working on something in her home office. He rolled over, but her side of the bed was empty, and her pillow was cold. Fabio sat up, his heart racing as a strange unease settled over him. The events of the past few weeks had put him on edge, and now every small change felt like a warning. He quickly got dressed and stepped out of the bedroom, calling for Sophia. "Sophia? Are you here?"No answer. His voice echoed through the hallway, bouncing off the walls of their large, quiet home. He descended the stairs two at a time, looking around for any sign of her. The kitchen was empty, the living room untouched. The only sound was the low hum of the refrigerator, and Fabio felt a cold sweat forming on the back of his neck.He was about to reach for his phone to call her when the front door cr
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 72 : The Domino Effect
Fabio stood frozen in the middle of his living room, his thoughts racing in every direction. The silence that had once been his refuge now felt like a prison. Sophia’s footsteps echoed in his mind as she walked away from him, each step a reminder of the growing distance between them. He had no idea how to fix this, how to pull her back from the brink when his entire world was teetering on the edge.He looked around the room, searching for something to anchor him, something to ground him in the moment. His gaze landed on the family photo that sat on the mantel—his parents, himself, and Felix, all smiling at the camera during one of those rare, peaceful moments. The image was like a ghost from a simpler time, taunting him with what he’d lost, with what he was in danger of losing forever.The shrill ring of his phone shattered the silence, pulling him out of his spiraling thoughts. Fabio’s heart pounded as he reached for it, praying it wasn’t more bad news. The screen displayed Marco’s n
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 73 : Wisdom and Warning
Fabio sat in his office, staring blankly at the piles of paperwork that littered his desk. The events of the last few weeks weighed heavily on his mind, and despite his best efforts, he couldn’t shake the feeling of impending doom. His once-stable life seemed to be unraveling, thread by thread, and he was struggling to keep it all together.The door creaked open, pulling him from his thoughts. He looked up to see his father, Duncan, standing in the doorway. The older man’s presence filled the room, carrying with it a sense of authority and wisdom that Fabio had always admired.“Mind if I come in?” Duncan asked, his voice gruff yet gentle.Fabio managed a weak smile and nodded. “Of course, Dad. Come in.”Duncan stepped inside, closing the door behind him. He moved slowly, each step deliberate, as if the weight of the years was finally catching up to him. But there was still a fire in his eyes, a sharpness that hadn’t dulled despite everything he’d been through.He took a seat across fr
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 74 : Darkness and Decisions
Fabio stood frozen in the kitchen, the note from Sophia trembling in his hands. His eyes skimmed over the words again, his mind struggling to accept what he was reading. The emptiness of the house echoed in his ears, amplifying the silence that now felt like a suffocating weight. *I’m staying with my parents for a few days. Please understand… I love you, but I need some space.*The finality of her words hit him like a punch to the gut, and he felt the ground beneath him shift. He wanted to chase after her, to beg her to come back, but he knew deep down that giving her the space she needed was the only thing he could do. He slowly set the note down on the kitchen counter, his fingers lingering on the paper as if it could somehow anchor him to reality. His heart raced, each beat reminding him of the fragility of his situation. He had made so many mistakes, and now he feared that Sophia was slipping away from him.As he stood there, lost in his thoughts, his phone buzzed in his pocket.
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 75 : The Flames Ignite
The door slammed shut behind Victor as Fabio spun on his heel, his mind racing. His pulse pounded in his ears, drowning out the sounds of the world around him. The shipment had been compromised—a disaster that could unravel everything. He glanced at Sophia, who was staring at him with wide, confused eyes. “Fabio, what’s happening?” Sophia’s voice trembled, and Fabio could see the fear creeping into her expression. He wanted to reach out, to comfort her, but there was no time. The walls of his double life were crumbling, and he had to act fast to salvage what he could.“Stay here,” Fabio ordered, his voice sharper than he intended. “I’ll explain everything later.”Before she could protest, he turned back to Victor. “How bad is it?”Victor swallowed hard, his eyes darting around the room as if expecting danger to leap out from the shadows. “Bad. We’ve got men down, and the authorities are sniffing around the docks. We need to clean this up, now.”Fabio clenched his jaw, a surge of adre
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 76 : The Scent of Betrayal
The first thing Fabio noticed when he stepped into his office was the smell of fresh coffee—rich, dark, and inviting. It was a small comfort, one he normally would have welcomed after the chaos of the night. But today, that scent only heightened his anxiety. He paused, his hand hovering over the steaming mug on his desk. It was out of place, like an offering from a ghost. He hadn't ordered any coffee. He hadn’t even told anyone he was coming to the office. So who had?Every instinct in his body screamed at him to turn back, to leave this room before it was too late. But Fabio was a man who faced his demons head-on, and this was no different. He slowly picked up the cup, feeling the warmth seeping through the porcelain into his hand. He brought the cup closer to his face, but before he could take a sip, a sudden movement caught his eye. In the reflection of the window, he saw it—a shadow, just barely distinguishable against the dim morning light. Someone was here, lurking just out o
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 77 : The Weight of Secrets
The room was dimly lit, the shadows from the early evening creeping in like the weight of the secrets Fabio now carried. He had always been a man of action, someone who thrived on control and decisiveness, but this—this was different. The revelation that Dante was alive had shaken him to his core, bringing back memories he had long buried, along with the ghosts of his past.Fabio sat behind his desk, his mind racing. He had just agreed to a partnership with Marco, a man he had once considered an enemy. Desperation made strange bedfellows, and now, he was in deeper than he had ever imagined. The sound of his phone vibrating against the wood snapped him out of his thoughts.It was a message from Sophia.Dinner's almost ready. Come home soon. Love you.Fabio stared at the screen, his heart aching. He had been keeping too much from her, burying himself in the criminal underworld his family was so deeply entrenched in. And now, with Dante’s shadow looming over him, the lies and secrets wer
