All Chapters of Reclaimed by the Billionaire : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Isabella~"Xavier, you look tense. Is everything all right?" I noticed him silently having his breakfast. He didn't even respond to James and Victor's teasing. Is he unhappy with our engagement? I cast a suspicious glance at his face.However, his expression betrayed no joy or sadness, leaving me confused about his feelings. My mind wandered to the past—how he had once forcibly held my hand, sliding the engagement ring on with a forced smile. His anger-filled gaze had pierced through me back then. I was naive, oblivious to his love for Alicia, and blind to their betrayal.Even though I had encouraged him to put the past behind us and focus on our future, those upsetting memories still lingered, casting a shadow on my joy."Bella, where have you lost? Tell me, where are you planning to go on your honeymoon?" James's voice snapped me out of my reverie.Before responding to James, I glanced at Xavier. He remained engrossed in his thoughts, barely noticing anything around him."I haven't

Isabella~"Bella, please listen to me: don't let your emotions overpower you." Xavier trailed behind me, trying to convince me to reconsider my decision."Do you think I am overemotional?" I spun around to face him, my voice shaking. I didn't expect him to accuse me of being overly emotional just because I wanted to reopen Laila's case and bring justice for her."Bella, you are upset now. Please calm down first, and then we will discuss it," he pleaded, his tone soft yet firm. But I could sense the underlying frustration in his words."I didn't want to hear anything from him right now." My frustration boiled over as I shut the door to my room, keeping him out. Tears stung my eyes as I leaned against the door, but I refused to cry. How could he do this to me? I never expected him to hide such a big truth from me. His silence felt like a betrayal.He hadn't told me anything about Dixie and Lincon's divorce, even though I had asked him repeatedly about his strange behavior. And now, Jord

Isabella~"Bella, why are you putting your love relationship at stake in this case?" Uncle Jorawar questioned me when I was about to fill out the case reopening application."Don't worry about it, Uncle. I am aware of my actions. I can not let injustice happen to Laila just because Xavier is not here to support me."I was heartbroken that neither Xavier nor my father was supporting me, but I remained steadfast in my choice."But who will fight this case in the absence of Xavier?" Uncle Jorawar expressed his worry."Uncle, since you are a well-known attorney, why don't you take this case to court?" I pondered for some time and then suggested he fight this case."No, I can't; I don't want to mix my emotions into this case. I can't reopen that old wound, which I am still trying to heal." His eyes were filled with pain as he shared with me his reason for not fighting Laila's case.How much pain must he still carry after all these years? I thought to myself, realizing the burden he bore."

Isabella~"Bella, please think again before making any decision since it's not only about you, but your entire family will be affected by your decision." James asked me to reconsider my decision to leave this house as soon as I got into his car."I have made up my mind; I will not take my steps back." I looked at the closed door of the house and gestured to him to drive the car. The pain from Xavier's forceful slap on my face is still searing my cheek. His slap not only hurt me physically but wounded my soul, too."Where do you want to go now?" he asked me since he had no idea where I wanted to go at this point. After careful consideration, I asked him to drop me off at the hotel."Bella, you can stay with me if you want. I am a friend to both you and Xavier." He looked at me with sympathetic eyes."James, I know you are a good friend of mine, but I am sorry I can't live with you since I don't want to create any misunderstanding between you and Xavier because of me," I explained to hi

Isabella~"What have you decided now, Bella?" Victor questioned me as he took Alan to meet me."What would you do if you were in my place?" I folded my arms across my chest and challenged him."Bella, I appreciate your decision, but your commitment to your work has the potential to destroy our whole family," Victor said with a beseeching look, his voice tinged with concern."Family?" I murmured bitterly, the memory of Xavier's harsh slap on my cheek flashing before my eyes. A bitter smile spread across my lips. I heard Dad's heartless remarks as I departed from the residence."I know, Bella, you are deeply hurt, but at least think about your son. He lived five years without his dad, and now you want him to make his life miserable by keeping him separate from his mom," Victor pressed, giving Alan's face a worried glance. Alan was engrossed in playing games on my phone, completely unaware of the storm brewing around him."I can't take a step back, Victor. What will I tell myself—that I
