All Chapters of LOVE AND LIES: THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE'S RETURN : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

GAIAThis was the first time I was going to be seeing the security footage. The way it was heavily guarded made me wonder what exactly it showed. As he pressed play on the remote, I removed my eyes from the screen and moved to Javon. He still didn't seem fazed, didn't seem like someone who was on trial for doing anything wrong. And it bothered me. As soon as his eyes met mine, I looked back at the screen. For the first few minutes, there was nothing there, and then I saw someone. It was just a figure, just a figure of a man walking into the building. They had got to be kidding me. How did they figure out that it was Javon just from this? I could barely even make out the race of the person because of how disturbed and distorted the video was.There was a storm and this person was covering their face with their jacket. His lawyer paused the video and turned back to Clay. “So, as we can see from that very short clip, we see nothing. It is pretty obvious that it's a man from the b

GAIAYou have got to be kidding me. How could this happen? How could I have taken his phone without knowing? I stood in my room that night wondering how the hell this could have happened. I knew it was when we bumped into each other but the chances of this ever happening were very slim. But it happened. And it was already really late. I have no idea if he has noticed yet because he was a busy person and he didn't have the time to look at his phone a lot. Another reason why I was panicking was because I'd used Juan's picture as my screensaver and the moment he sees that, he would want to know more. So I might as well just believe that he had seen it already. Gosh, why did I have to bump into him? The door opened, and Bella walked in. “Hey, you're back early. How was your day?”I let her come in and sit down before I started telling her anything. As soon as she was seated, I told her everything without leaving a single thing out..“Woah, that's a lot. But then, what's wrong with

GAIAI wanted to meet up with Javon in an open place but then the sight of seeing the opposing lawyer in a court case with the culprit wasn't exactly the way I wanted to start my career. So we ended up meeting in his car. “I just need my phone, Javon. That's all. There's nothing to speak to you about.”He brought the phone out and handed it to me. “Are you sure there isn't?”I brought out his phone and the screen lit up. It was a picture of me he had used as his screensaver. I didn't want to pay attention to it because I was sure he had done it on purpose. After all, he wanted to mess with my head. “There isn't, Javon. What do you want to hear? That he's yours? Don't be ridiculous.”“Then who's child is he, Gaia? Who? I know you didn't get remarried, I know you didn't cheat on me so who's child is he?”I hadn't planned out what to tell him because I didn't think he would be finding out this early so there was nothing to fear. “Javon, what if I say he's yours? What do you think wi

GAIABella had asked if Mr Quinten would be picking me up but I had no idea. I would have liked to think that, but we hadn't spoken about it earlier, so I had no idea. So I asked Evan to drive me there. It wasn't my first time attending a gala or a social event of this kind but I was nervous. My phone rang while I was in the car. It was Mr Quinten. “Where are you, Miss Everly?” ”Oh um, in my car on my way to the event. Are you there yet?”Was I late? I could have sworn that he said seven pm. “No, you're not late.” Did I say that out loud? “You’re just in the wrong car. I should be the one driving you to that event. How do you think it will look if we show up in different cars ?”It wasn't my fault he didn't say anything about picking me up. I felt like I was being scolded. “Where are you right now?”I looked outside the window. “We’re close to the venue, but not exactly there yet. Are you close?”“Tell your driver to stop. I'll make my way to you.”He ended the call before I c

GAIA I came out of the room first, looking around to make sure that no one saw me. When I made sure, I ran, forgetting that I was supposed to be coming from the toilet so I made my way back to the toilet so it would look like I was coming from there. As I entered the toilet, there was no one there so I quickly washed my hands and cleaned the stain off the dress. Thankfully, it was a black dress, so the stain wouldn't show,, but I had to make it believable. As I stood there, I thought about what Javon and I had spoken about and it made me think about what we had planned to do. The door to one of the stalls opened and out walked the woman in the vomit dress. What were the odds? No one said anything as we washed our hands and we locked eyes in the mirror several times. Why was she looking at me like that? Either way, it was none of my concern. I grabbed my purse to walk out and that's when I heard her voice. “You know you're divorced right?”At first, it didn't sound like she wa
