All Chapters of The Billionaire's Dilemma: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Aella was having a good time with Jeremy; they talked about a lot of things, and it was fun. Her plan to actually get her mind over Damien and the issues on the ground was perfectly executed.Aella got carried away as she kept downing every glass Jeremy poured out for her. They had just finished having dinner when Aella checked the time. "Oh no," Aella muttered to herself."Did something happen, Aella?" Jeremy asked as Aella stared at her phone intently."I need to go home now, Jeremy. I promised Damien to be back in two hours," Aella answered as she picked up her bag.She tried to stand, but then she was tipsy. She checked the nearly empty bottle of wine; it was alcoholic.Jeremy smirked inwardly as he saw this; everything was finally going the way he wanted it.Aella struggled to stand, holding that table as a support. Jeremy stood up from his end and walked towards her. "Listen, Aella, you can't go anywhere in this condition.""No, I can manage Jeremy; it's so good to see you. Do m

"Aella, what happened last night was a mistake; honestly, I was drunk, and I said things I wasn't supposed to say," Jeremy pleaded."Did you know it was going to snow heavily last night?" Aella asked, and overnight she thought about it. Jeremy's behavior was quite strange, and he kept on pouring out wine for her, urging her to drink more.The look on his face was disappointing, he knew."Aella Look, I just wanted to see you one more time; I needed to tell you about my feelings," Jeremy confessed."What feelings, Jeremy? What are you even saying? Can you hear yourself? I told you I was married for Christ's sake, and what feelings could you even have for me?" Aella asked one after the other, anger building in her insides."Aella, I love you; I have loved you ever since. The main reason I got back was to be with you, but when you told me you were married, I couldn't approach you, and now that I am leaving, I thought I should confess just one last time, Aella. I really do love you; look,

After closing the door behind her, she walked to the nearest couch as she sat on it, tears flowing through her eyes. She couldn't hold it in anymore. She tried so hard to fight the tears, but they kept rolling, holding her head with her hands. Aella cried for a long time.The pain of her mother's betrayal washed over her, and it shook her violently.She cursed herself for allowing Maggie back into her life. "Now everything is ruined," Aella muttered to herself, still sobbing.Aella managed to gather herself together; as much as she dreaded Damien at the moment, she needed to face him. Maggie was out of their lives now, and she hoped they could start afresh.Aella stood up and walked straight to the bedroom, the one she shared with Damien. On other days, heading to the room gave her a sense of relief, but these days she dreaded it.Just as Aella was about to open the door, it opened, and the next thing that hit her feet was her clothes, followed by her shoes and bags. Damien kept thro

Aella accepted her fate, and as she moved her things to the room Maggie had previously occupied, it reeked of alcohol and her harsh perfumes. Aella decided to clean up the space; that way she could liberate her mind, but it was futile.The cleaning could not serve as a distraction for her; all she could think of was Damien.She opened the mini-closet to set her things in; some of Maggie's clothes were still in it, so she removed them from the hangers and threw them away.Damien's bedroom had a walk-in closet, but the room Aella was staying in did not have one.After getting rid of everything Maggie left behind, Aella started arranging her things inside the closet.Damien had asked her to leave the house, but she could not bring herself to do so. She knew Damien was angry, so she decided to stay back, hoping she would be able to pacify him.After she was done with everything, she decided to visit the kitchen. She was hungry and exhausted, and although she did not have an appetite, she

Damien had left the house earlier; he was angry and a distraction, so he decided to stop by the office. He was irritated and annoyed at the same time.Damien battled internally; he was at himself and with Aella as well. He knew Aella was right, and he hated the fact that she was right. He saw the signs, but still, he never expected Maggie to stoop so low. He tried all he could, but he couldn't concentrate; all he could see was Aella's teary face, and all he could hear were her sobs.While Damien was fighting his demons, Marie was celebrating a feast downstairs in her office as she picked up one of the pictures sprawled all over her table. It was a picture of Jeremy holding Aella in her arms. From the angle the picture was taken, it almost looked like Jeremy was hugging Aella. Different pictures were taken from different angles yet portray the same thing.Coincidentally, Marie was at the same hotel where Jeremy had asked Aella to meet. She was surprised to see Aella with a strange man
