The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 82 : Unexpected Joy
Sophia paced the length of their living room, her heart racing in a mix of excitement and anxiety. She had just come back from the doctor’s appointment, clutching the tiny ultrasound picture in her hand. Her mind was swirling with emotions—joy, fear, and uncertainty. She hadn’t expected this, not so soon. But there it was, a tiny life growing inside her, one that would change everything.She glanced at the clock. Fabio would be home any minute now, and she hadn’t figured out how to tell him. The last few weeks had been tumultuous, with Fabio stressed about work and distant at times, but this news could be the thing that brought them back together, reigniting the bond they had shared before everything became so complicated.Sophia sat down on the couch, her hand resting on her stomach. She could hardly believe it—she was going to be a mother. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she imagined what it would be like, raising a child with Fabio, building a family together. She had n
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 83 : New Beginnings, Old Shadows
The next morning, Sophia woke up to the soft light streaming through the bedroom window, casting a golden glow across the room. She rolled over to find Fabio still asleep beside her, his arm draped over her protectively. She smiled as she watched him, her heart swelling with the love she felt for him and their future family.Yesterday’s revelation had shifted everything. There was a new sense of hope, a new beginning they hadn’t expected but one they now embraced wholeheartedly. She gently placed her hand on her stomach, still getting used to the idea that a life was growing inside her. She couldn’t wait to see where this new chapter would take them.Fabio stirred beside her, his eyes slowly fluttering open. When he saw her looking at him, a sleepy grin spread across his face.“Morning,” he said, his voice thick with sleep. He reached out and gently placed his hand over hers on her stomach. “How’s our little one doing?”“Good,” Sophia replied with a soft laugh. “We’re both good.”Fabi
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 84 : A New Resolve
Fabio sat alone in his office, his mind racing as he stared at the flickering glow of the city skyline through the large glass windows. The usual hum of the city below felt distant, almost muffled, as if the world had quieted to give him space to think. It had been days since the phone call, days since he had finally faced the reality of the path he was on.He glanced at his phone, sitting on the desk beside him. It had been vibrating with calls and texts all day, but he had ignored most of them. There was a war inside him, a battle between the life he had built with Sophia and the legacy of the Mateo family business—two lives that could no longer coexist. Especially now that Sophia was pregnant.The weight of that realization hung heavy on him. Every time he thought of their unborn child, he knew he had to make a choice. The life he had with Sophia was worth more than anything the business could give him. He wanted to be a father—one his child could be proud of—and not someone who li
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 85 : A Final Offer
The next morning, Fabio sat at his desk, staring at the swirling steam rising from his untouched cup of coffee. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, replaying the tense conversation with his father. Duncan had made it clear—walking away wouldn’t be simple, and the Mexicans weren’t known for letting anyone go without a fight. Still, Fabio couldn’t shake the feeling that there had to be a way out without dragging his family deeper into the darkness.Sophia’s laughter from the living room echoed faintly through the walls, reminding him of the life he was protecting. He’d made a promise to her and their unborn child, and he wasn’t going to break it. But the reality of the situation weighed heavily on him.His phone buzzed on the desk, pulling him out of his thoughts. He looked at the screen, his stomach twisting when he saw the name: **Santos**.Fabio hesitated for a moment before answering. “Santos.”“Mateo,” Santos’ voice oozed through the line, a mix of familiarity and menace. “I’ve b
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 86 : The Final Reckoning
Months had passed, and Sophia’s pregnancy was moving along smoothly. She was now four months in, glowing with the radiance of motherhood. The house was filled with excitement, baby name books scattered around, and ultrasound photos hung on the fridge. Sophia had begun to feel the tiny flutter of life growing inside her, and every evening, Fabio would sit beside her, talking softly to her belly as if he could already communicate with their unborn child.But Fabio’s mind was a split battlefield. While his heart overflowed with love and anticipation for their baby, a growing sense of dread lurked in the background. He had done everything to keep Sophia in the dark about his dealings with the Mexican cartel, but the pressure was mounting. He had agreed to one last job to buy his freedom, but it had taken months for the hammer to fall. Now, the wait was over.The Mexicans had made contact. And they weren’t asking—they were demanding. It was time for the biggest shipment Fabio had ever hand
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 87 : Drawing the Line
The air around Fabio crackled with tension. The dim lights of the docks cast eerie shadows on the water, and the distant wail of sirens began to fade into the night. But it was the presence of Santos and his armed men that made Fabio’s pulse thunder in his ears. There was no more room to run. No more room for deception or games. He had to face the truth head-on.Santos stood a few feet away, his gun lazily hanging by his side, but the sneer on his face made it clear—he was in control. Or so he thought.Fabio felt Felix’s gaze burning into him from beside the crates, waiting for a signal, waiting for something. His mind raced through the many paths this could take, but every road ended in the same place. It was time to draw the line. Time to stand up to Santos, to the cartel, to the life he had unwittingly inherited.“I’m done,” Fabio said, his voice low but firm. He straightened, standing tall as he met Santos’ gaze. “This was my last job.”Santos chuckled, a cruel sound that echoed o
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 88 : The Double Game
Weeks had slipped by like shadows at twilight, their passing marked only by the gentle changes in the landscape outside Fabio’s window. Inside the walls of his home, the atmosphere had become one of serenity, an oasis of calm amid the chaos brewing just outside. Fabio had made a concerted effort to be present for Sophia, to soothe her worries and immerse himself in the joy of their impending parenthood.The sound of Sophia’s laughter, a rare and precious gift these days, echoed through the house. She had taken to decorating the nursery, her joy untainted by the storm Fabio could feel building just beyond the horizon. Fabio admired her resilience, but he knew he couldn’t keep the truth from her forever.As he watched her from the doorway, a pang of guilt twisted in his chest. Sophia was blissfully unaware of the treacherous path Fabio was navigating. She believed he was dedicating himself entirely to their family, and in a way, he was—but not without a hidden agenda. His plan to betray
The Billonaires’s marital crisis Chapter 89 : The Gamble
The night was electric, filled with an ominous tension as Fabio stood at the edge of the deserted warehouse. His breath misted in the chilly air, and the city's distant lights flickered like tiny stars against the dark sky. This was the night that would determine his fate—the culmination of weeks of planning and deceit.Inside the warehouse, a large shipment of illicit goods was due to arrive. Santos, the ruthless Mexican cartel boss, would be overseeing the operation himself. This was the moment Fabio had been preparing for—a chance to strike at the heart of the cartel and end his association with them once and for all.Fabio’s hands trembled slightly as he adjusted his tactical gear, checking the weapons and equipment one last time. His team, a group of loyal operatives who had been instrumental in his plan, was scattered around the warehouse, hidden and ready. Felix stood beside him, his face set with grim determination.“Are we ready?” Fabio asked, his voice low and steady.Felix
