All Chapters of The Billonaires’s marital crisis: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

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

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

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

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

After weeks of relentless tension, Fabio and Sophia finally found themselves in a brief but welcome moment of peace. The chaos that had marked the beginning of their marriage now seemed a distant memory. Life was returning to a more predictable rhythm, and the future they once envisioned was beginning to take shape. With Sophia now four months pregnant, her belly showing the slightest curve, the excitement and anticipation of parenthood filled their days.Fabio’s attention to Sophia became unwavering. His every thought revolved around her and their unborn child. He had become more attentive and nurturing, always present, always supportive. If Sophia craved something at midnight, Fabio would be out the door without hesitation, driving to fetch her favorite snack or remedy her newest craving.
