Lahat ng Kabanata ng LOVE AND LIES: THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE'S RETURN : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

GAIAMy eyes slowly opened but the blinding lights shut them back again as if they were a cause and effect and I tried to make sense of everything around meI could not move, I could not ask for water to ease my dry throat, I could not tell the doctor that my head was splitting or that he should do everything in his power to save my baby, but the pain in my belly was still there. All I could do was lay there while I was being wheeled in. I felt life slipping away from me, the blood in my veins rushing back and forth from my heart. I was not sure what happened. One moment, I was holding a cup of my herbal tea, and the next, I was clutching my stomach sure to the piercing pain that was shooting through it. The air was knocked out of my lungs, so I couldn't call for help. I assumed it was labor pains because this was my first child. I was thrilled to have another family member after five years of marriage to my husband. Who wouldn't? Ever since witnessing the love between my parents

GAIAAs soon as the car pulled into the house, I felt my hands and my feet grow cold and they shook as I stormed into his office. He was bent over some papers, his glasses resting lightly on his nose and he looked up at me with a frown on his face when I entered. “What madness is this?” Was the first thing he asked. Without answering, I flung the envelope on the table. “There. Sign those. If you hate me so much, just sign them and let me freaking go! Let me go!" He looked away from me and opened the envelope, bringing out the papers and looking at them. He laughed, pushing them to the side and taking off his glasses. “What is this supposed to be? You want to divorce me?”“Are you blind? Aren't they divorce papers? Sign them and let me go! You didn't have to go so far, Javon. You didn't have to kill my baby!”“What in the world are you talking about?"Now, he was acting like he didn't know what I was talking about. “I heard her on the phone. The person you paid to drug me so I'

“Evan, who did you say this man was and what exactly did he want?” “Well, he wants a top lawyer to handle his company's legal affairs and also be his lawyer. Other details will be discussed in the meeting.”Didn't he have a lawyer for all that before? Why did he want me? Anyway, I'd turned down at least five job offers just yesterday. My price has risen. I'd only accepted this when I heard how much he was offering. These days, money is needed. I'd spend a lot trying to get this degree and become who I am. That should be enough compensation. I needed to give my son the best live possible and make sure that never suffered a bit. We stopped in front of the company and I looked out, not being able to see the top of the tall building from the car. “This is it? Who exactly are we seeing?” That question was answered by the name of the company that I saw. Quieten and Co. “Is this a joke, Evan? You brought me to him?"My breathing was rapid now. “No, it's not him. It's someone else.

JAVONFIVE YEARS AGO. “When will the plane arrive?”I'd been standing here for almost an hour and the sun was taking a very hard hit on me. Evan removed the phone from his ear and turned to me.“That was the pilot. He's going to be here very soon." He better be. I couldn't wait to be home. For almost ten months, I'd left the house to take care of some business in China. It was unavoidable and I had to leave without saying anything to Giai. We hadn't been in touch at that time because we didn't talk normally, even when I was at home, and me being halfway across the world wasn't going to make me start. The pilot finally came around and we boarded. As the plane took off, I fought the sleep that had been attacking me since I left the hotel. “How’s she doing?”Evan looked up from his laptop. “Who, Alpha?"“My wife. How is she doing?”“She’s doing okay so far. She has Bella by her side."She's only ever had Bella. “What about her parents? Has she gone to see them?”He sighed and clo

GIAIJust as I said, I didn't let Javon's appearance affect me.To be honest, I did think about it the day after that but that was it. As soon as Mr Quinten reached out to me and told me that he wanted to see me, I was back on my feet and all those feelings flew out the window and into the trash. I marched into the building with my head held high, going straight to the first floor to deliberate on the first step in Javon's downfall. His acting all innocent, like he didn't know what he did five years ago wasn't going to get him out of my sight. Even though he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about, I knew it was just a facade to trick me. Mr Quinten was in the office when I walked in and his secretary stood up to smile at me as she directed me to his office. Why was she always smiling? It was a Monday morning, nobody should be that happy. His head was bent into a file he was reading, and his glasses rested on his nose. It was very simple to mistake him for Javon. Go
