All Chapters of Billionaire's Betrayal: My Ex Beg Me To Love Him Again: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Caroline’s POV:A surge of anger overwhelmed me at the audacity of William’s question. How dare he bring up that fateful day when he had been the one who had torn my life apart? I held the baby of his mistress in my arms, and now he was asking me to dig through my old wounds. What was done was done, so why did it matter to him?Despite my rising anger, I kept a lid on my temper. There was no reason to go popping off and ruining the advantage I had with William right then. Now that I was in William’s good graces, I was lent a perfect opportunity for me to find out more about my father. The scant information I had learned in my last stay had been far too limited, and so I was going to take this chance to glean as much as I could from his study. There had to be some key information I had missed before I was so rudely interrupted.Not willing to risk the chance to find more clues, I swallowed my anger and took a deep breath. I kept my expression as neutral as I could manage, and instead o

Caroline’s POV:“What is this?” I whispered into the dimly lit empty room. My eyes strained to make out the fine details of the old photo, but frustratingly, the marker was only getting in the way. One thing was for certain, though: the two people in the photo were most certainly Thomas West and Sara Anderson.It dawned on me then that the issues that plagued William and I were far deeper than I’d originally suspected. Was Sophia just a catalyst? Perhaps there laid a far greater secret behind William’s inexplicable hatred for my father.My dad never once mentioned William’s mother to me, though. If they were good friends, surely he would have brought her up more than a few times, right? Yet whenever I saw these two supposed friends together, they were only ever proper (even a bit stuffy) with one another. By all means, they appeared to be perfectly professional business partners.Mrs. Anderson had always been a pleasant fixture in my life ever since she and my father joined together i

Caroline’s POV:“What? I would never!” I nearly shouted, forced to keep my voice down so George wouldn’t stir. “You can’t possibly think I had something to do with this!”Instead of answering, the nanny quickly came forward to take George out of my arms. For George’s sake, I didn’t protest, but I was deeply hurt by the heavy look of suspicion and anger resting on her face. The doubt in both her and William’s faces were beyond clear.I was stunned by their disbelief, barely able to muster a word to defend myself. Did I really look so cruel as to poison a little baby? Even if I did want to hurt George, why would I wait until now? I had a plethora of opportunities to do so in the past!“William, do you really think I did it?” I asked him, locking my eyes with his. Honestly, I just wanted to see if his answer was as ridiculous as all the ones preceding it.Upon being put on the spot so suddenly, William hesitated to give an answer. “No, I just… I have no idea.” He withered under my frank l

Caroline’s POV:Looking into George’s big blue eyes, I felt a connection spark between us. It was funny how an innocent infant, not even able to stand yet, was able to recognize those who were good to him. All the while, my ex-husband treated me with only disloyalty and distrust. How could a baby recognize the goodness in someone’s heart over an adult?Sophia gawked at her son’s actions, rage flitting over her face. “George, no!” she scolded. “She’s only going to hurt you!” Grabbing George’s tiny wrist, she yanked hard, forcefully pulling his hand away. George’s face scrunched up in pain and he began to sob, kicking his legs pitifully. Who treats their own son like that? I wondered. Did Sophia even care about her son, or was George just some tool to consolidate her position and win over William’s heart?“Stop!” I demanded, making Sophia jump on the spot. “Don’t you see you’ve hurt him?”William’s deep voice spoke up from behind us. “He’s hurt?” he fretted, coming over to inspect Georg

Caroline’s POV:My heart was akin to a drum in my chest, pounding away in my ears as I dreaded the thought of being caught. Although I was hidden behind a rather large tree, it wouldn’t be long until they eventually found me. What would happen if they discovered me? Sophia was already a ruthless woman who was willing to get me killed just to do away with me. Who knew how far she would go just to shut me up? My brain worked a mile a minute, desperately searching for any possible way for me to get out of this situation, but every road led to me being caught. Should I just make a run for it? “I think someone is eavesdropping on us,” Sophia growled, poison dripping from every word. “Sandra, go check it out. Now!”My eyes widened and my heart beat faster as the crunch of dry leaves grew ever closer, a signal that these two scheming women were about to find me. I tried to estimate my chances of having a real conflict with them if I was discovered, and they did not look good. My body was
