All Chapters of Betrayed Love: Stuck Between the Billionaires : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

EvaI stormed into the building without an ounce hesitation. Some people quickly recognized me and I received some greetings I silently replied to. It would have been a laughable one, me entering his company building without a care, but this time I was completely furious.I wasn't going to take his insubordination anymore. Him and Brianna weren't going to make my life hell and I would make sure of it. Stepping out of the elevator leading to his office I was met with the same redhead who eyed me with surprise. She didn't matter.“Is he in his office?” I asked, looking at the door a distance away from her seat that was clearly his office. I didn't wait for her to answer. “Hey!” a high pitched voice called out. I ignored the calls from behind me as I striding there and opening the door. To my surprise it gave in easily, pushing open. He didn't even lock it.I stepped inside, looking around the large space. The office was a mix of dark and white with chaises and sofas and carpets. It lo

EvaI spotted her immediately at the entrance of the Greenhouse Cafe as per her instructions. It wasn't hard considering her unique style. The nude overcoat she wore spoke of quiet luxury. I could tell it was expensive yet it was humble.She noticed me when I came closer, a pleasant surprise coloring her face. Every time I saw her I was always shocked at how youthful she looked. despite being in her late 40s she looked a decade younger, her outfit bringing her more elegance.“You really didn't have to wait outside.” I protested, guilt pooling my belly. It had taken me some time to find the location and I'd gotten even more held up by the traffic.“Nonsense. I haven't been here for long anyways.” She said, trying to wave away the topic. Despite her attempt I still felt bad for keeping her waiting. Despite being a member of one of one of the wealthiest families, she was always so nice and sweet and down to earth, so different from her other peers. It really made me wonder how she could

Eva“It must be so lonely for you, you know, without the kids and all.” her voice came through. I sighed, relaxing on my office seat with my phone in my ear.“It really is.” I replied, “I didn't think this through if I'm being honest. Two months is a long time. Now I'm counting the days till they come back.” I sighed out.Penelope chuckled through the phone “Unfortunately I can't relate. Traveling never gets tiring.”“You've earned it.” I quipped back. Even though she was an entire continent away, I could imagine her warm smile from my words.Years ago, she was the one to give me a place to stay after being kicked out. I met her by accident, stopping at the restaurant she owned to veg for temporary shelter. Only in her late 20s when I met her, I could still recall how shocked she looked when I approached her. I hadn't expected much and prepared to leave to save myself the humiliation when she stopped me with my belongings. She offered me a place in her apartment, stating that I didn'

Eva“I guess you didn't listen when I told you to lay off and relax.” Penelope's voice came out deadpan through the speaker.I groaned at her chastising tone, shaking my head as I looked at the phone on my dressing table.“Everything has been good Penelope, I'm serious.” I pressed on, to try convincing her while carefully running hair gel through my curls.“I’ll only believe it when I see it Eva, and I'm not in the country so you've gotten my answer.” Penelope replied, making me groan loudly while fighting a smile. She was always worrying for my sake. Without a large age gap, she treated me more like a mother to a daughter, or at least a really fun aunt that one would see in movies.Surprisingly enough, I wasn't lying or exaggerating. Things HAD been going well for me.Viktor had kept to his word and surprisingly worked well. The extent of our cordial relationship lasted only within the company however and dissipated immediately after I left. I didn't care what he did aside from withi

Eva“Your dress is ruined. A big shame, I'm sure it must've been expensive.” she continued, stepping towards me with her empty glass. Despite her ‘sympathetic’ words, her tone and her face showed anything but. Eyeing the stain like it was the most interesting thing in the world, she tutted.“This is definitely a case of bad luck. You definitely shouldn't have come here.”the smug look on her faceFor a moment I was stunned and confused but it didn't take a genius to figure it out. This was definitely Brienne's doing.My hackles rose with every trace of ‘sympathy’ she gave. I had done nothing to her and yet she attacked me and looked so smug about it even.A part of me wanted to give into my impulse, but I held myself back. Doing that wouldn't solve or change anything. It would only get more attention from others and perhaps that was Brienne's goal; to humiliate me. My gaze darted to the side to see that very few people had taken notice. If she wanted me to retaliate, she had another
