All Chapters of Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Aiden I stood there, stunned and powerless, as the events unfolded in front of me like a tragic play, each scene more disastarous and powerful than the last. The shockwaves from the booming sound of a hand connecting with skin echoed through the room, leaving an unsettling silence in its awake. I was going to put some sense into Drew, but Laura's father beat me to it. Laura's father had always been Drew's advocate, standing by his side in every situation, even when Laura herself couldn't muster the strength to do so. But now, in this moment, that loyalty came out in a physical blow, a desperate attempt to confront the truth that had been lurking in the shadows for far too long. Ira, Laura's mother, broke the heavy silence with a question that hung in the air like a storm cloud. "You have met her?" she asked, her gaze piercing through the room. Even I too stood there shocked knowing that he had met Valerie. Silently, I observed Laura's father, he was still reeling from the shocking

Aiden "Travis!" Laura and Ira both screamed at the same time, but it wasn't of any use. Both of their screams fell on deaf ears because Travis couldn't damn hear anything in his rage and anger. His first fist punch came out of the blue for me and hit me right under my right eye. I couldn't evade it at all and when his fist connected with my face it hurt so bad that all I could hear was ringing in my ears. "Oh, God," I heard someone say but I couldn't see who it was. The pain I was going through was much more than anything I had ever felt. I tried to evade his attack, to move away from him, to bring some distance between us but it was of no use because Travis' fists came one after another like he was fucking machine. He didn't stop for a second. Moreover, there was no use in stopping them because in the end, he wouldn't. Those punches were coming straight from a father, whose daughter I had hurt the most. "Goddammit. Stop it, Travis!" Ira roared, screaming at the rop of her lungs, ma

Aiden Fear seemed to seep inside every part of me as her eyes met mine. I stood there still with every inch of me aching. "I don't know what to say to you Aiden," her voice and face clearly telling how disappointed she felt in me. "I'm sure your mother would be very much disappointed in you, much more than I'm with you. I never expected this from you," she sighed. "All through these years I have always thought of you to be as an intelligent and kind one but clearly, you really aren't., her words only mad eme fell ashamed of myself. I couldn't look at her. All I could do was just lower my eyes. "I have no idea about what I should do with you or say to you right now. I have so much on my plate and what you did," she sighed her disappointment in me was evident in the way she looked at me. I had just not only let her down but also my mother too. When this news got to her ears, I was sure that she would disown me. She would be really hurt knowing what I had done. There was no way I wo

Valerie My phone hadn't rung for the past three hours and it almost felt like it was a dream. Because the whole scenario felt really unrealistic. Suddenly, my boss gave me an off, which was really good news I guess. However, her conveying me that through a text message was almost like what the hell? I was a great employee and my boss and I had daily talks. I was almost stunned for a moment before my anxiousness started to grow to unreachable limits. I mean why the hell and the trending article registered in my mind? Maybe it was because of that and then the thought of me being laid off set fear inside of me. I immediately called my boss's pa only to have me assured that it wasn't something like that. However, from her words, it was sure that it was all because of the mess that the article had made but it was mainly because of Laura and Drew. I had no idea if had anyone connected the dots in the office or not besides Melanie. I mean I had just got out of the house to get to th

ValerieNo fuckig way. I snapped out of my sad self almost instantly pushing Shay away from me. I pushed her a little bit hard because she fell straight on the floor on her butt. I rushed from one room to another searching for my phone. "What the hell!" I heard Shay scream as she fell with a thud. When I gave her no reply she followed me to my room where I found my phone. "What the fuck was that," she almost yelled at me as I stared at my phone blankly not knowing what to even look for. God, I didn't need the phone I needed the calendar. Grabbing the calendar from my bedside table I looked at it and counted days. I almost face palmed myself knowing that I could have fucking found it on my phone too. However as I looked at the date with great worry into me, I knew that my thoughts were in the right place. No, that can't happen."I'm going to fucking kill you, Val," She yelled at me but it didn't concern me anymore than the fucking date did. I looked at her with widened eyes and tear
