All Chapters of Love Trap: The Billionaire's Regret: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

"Karl...I forgive you." Lavinia eventually spoke those three weighty words after taking a deep, steadying breath to brace herself.The words hit Karl like a raging wave, unexpected and utterly overwhelming. Before he could even begin to fully process the magnitude of what she had just said, Lavinia leaned in close and her soft lips met his in a kiss filled with the entire spectrum of emotions from their painful past - the anguish, the heartbreak, the bitter disappointment and shattered trust. But it was also infused with the tentative, fragile buds of hope for their future together, for a chance at redemption and a new beginning.For a long, suspended moment, Karl was stunned into stillness. His entire body went rigid as those three words she had uttered seemed to echo deafeningly in his mind. Had she really said what he thought she'd said? After everything that had transpired between them, all the damage he had recklessly caused, was she actually...forgiving him?"You...you're sur

“I can certainly manage to dress myself, my love. I’m not a helpless child you know,” Lavinia remarked with gentle humor and mild rebuke. Karl’s response was an adoring smile that crinkled the corners of his eyes. He let out a soft sigh of pure affection when he carefully selected a delicate piece of black lingerie from her closet. “Oh, I’m well aware that you’re not a child, my dearest,” he replied easily. “But perhaps you’ll always be my cherished, slightly spoiled girl in my eyes. Is it so wrong for a doting husband to wish to assist his beautiful wife in getting ready for the day?” His words tenderly held a note of profound fondness and devotion. Lavinia maintained her stance with the plush bathrobe cinched neatly around her waist and one hand resting playfully on her cocked hip. “Yes, I suppose you make a fair point,” she conceded with a small shake of her head. “But Karl…it’s still a bit embarrassing when you try to help me dress, you know?” Her voice trembled ever-so-s

The two women continued to trade playful jabs and teasing remarks, their laughter and delighted giggles ringing out in peals as they caught up on the recent developments in both of their romantic lives. By the time they rejoined the family downstairs for the evening meal, Lavinia's face was positively glowing with happiness and contentment.Much later that night, after returning home from her family's gathering, Lavinia lay nestled in the protective circle of Karl's arms as they lounged in bed together. Her gaze was fixed intently on the tablet balanced on her bent knees, watching his fingers deftly swiping through a series of images depicting potential new homes for them to move into."We really should decide on a place soon," Karl mused aloud, carefully studying each listing. "Especially with our honeymoon trip coming up in just a few short weeks."His casual mention of the word 'honeymoon' caught Lavinia momentarily off-guard. Her brow furrowing slightly, she tore her eyes

Lavinia watched anxiously from her corner of the pool. She tried to spot him but was unsuccessful in her search until he suddenly resurfaced next to her, trapping her against the pool wall."What do you think now?" Karl asked with a mischievous grin.Lavinia flashed him a nervous smile. She tried to wriggle away from him but found herself trapped between his muscular arms. "No backing out now, we had a deal," he teased."You're a cheat! We didn't agree on hide and seek during our game." Lavinia argued. However, she eventually gave in when Karl swiftly unclasped her bikini top. Lavinia shuddered at the coldness of his fingers on her skin but did not resist. She simply enjoyed indulging him the same way he enjoyed indulging her. Her top floated away to the side while he eagerly explored her body with gentle nips and bites. The morning took on an entirely new meaning as the duo lost themselves in each other.…Later that evening, Karl and Lavinia strolled hand-in-hand alon

Lavinia woke up feeling deliciously sore all over her body the next morning as a result of her passionate night with Karl. She stretched languidly, reveling in the pleasant ache of well-used muscles. A lazy smile curved her lips when flashes of memory from their midnight swim and lovemaking danced through her mind."Karl?" she called, patting the rumpled sheets beside her in search of her husband's warm body. But her hand met only cool fabric. It seemed he had already woken up earlier than her.Lavinia forced herself to sit up before blinking around their hotel suite. No sign of Karl anywhere. With a soft huff, she slipped out of bed, snagging Karl's discarded dress shirt from the night before off the floor and shrugging it on over her nude form. She padded into the bathroom, splashing some cool water on her face to help chase away the last tendrils of sleepiness. After taming her wild bedhead, she headed out in search of her missing husband.The morning sun had cast a warm, golde
