Vengeance in sight

Behind the Billionaire's mask!Chapter 12Victoria's POV I stormed into my house, my anger boiling over like a pot left unattended. With a sweep of my arm, I sent the vase on the living room coffee table crashing to the floor. The sound of shattering glass was music to my ears. I kicked the couch cushions, sending them flying. The pillows burst open, spewing feathers everywhere.I tore through the rooms, destroying everything in my path. Pictures frames shattered, books ripped from shelves, curtains torn from their rods. The sound of breaking glass and splintering wood fueled my rage.Breathless, I stood amidst the chaos, surveying the destruction. The house now lay in ruins. But the rage still simmered, waiting to erupt again.How dare she called me 'expired'I thought she would have been a piece of cake, but Sophie had turned out to be a formidable foe. Her words cut deeper than any knife. "Expired," she'd said, her voice dripping with disdain. As if I was nothing more than a sta

I am in control

Behind the Billionaire's mask! Chapter 13 Julian's POV As I stood up, I couldn't shake off the mix of emotions swirling inside me. I didn't know what had come over me, but I knew I had to put Victoria in her place. Despite my best efforts to deny it, the truth lingered: I still had feelings for her. But she had hurt me enough, I wasn't going to let her hurt me again. "Let's go," I said, my voice firm. Sophie looked up at me, concern etched on her face, but she nodded silently. We were headed to my grandfather's house. We entered my grandfather's mansion, and his face lit up with warmth as soon as he saw us - especially Sophie. "Ah, Julian, you've finally brought your better half," he said with a smile, his eyes twinkling with delight. I just rolled my eyes and took my seat. "Welcome, my dear Sophie. Please sit down and make yourself at home." He gallantly offered his hand, helping Sophie into the plush armchair, his mannerisms exuding old-school charm. "Thank you, sir. It'

Crossing the Line

Behind the Billionaire's mask!Chapter 14Sophie's POV "What are you doing?" Evelyn asked as she joined me in the kitchen."I'm trying to make dinner." I stated while stirring the simmering sauce on the stove top."For my brother?" Evelyn asked. "No!" I said, more like shouting."Oh! So what are you making?" Evelyn asked."Spaghetti Bolognese," I replied, trying to sound nonchalant.Evelyn's eyes widened. "But that's my brother's favourite food.""Really? I didn't know," I lied, attempting to play dumb.I had asked Rose, the cook about Julian's favourite food."Oh!" she said, not believing me."But why is Rose not cooking?" Evelyn asked, looking up at Rose, who was standing beside me.Rose smiled warmly. "Mrs. Sophie volunteered to cook today.""Yes, Evy. I have just been doing nothing in the house, so I decided to cook," I explained.Evelyn leaned toward me and whispered, "You're trying to win my brother over, right?"I didn't say anything and just blushed.I finished cooking, and

The calm before the storm

Behind the Billionaire's Mask!Chapter 15Julian's POVI woke and saw Sophie sleeping peacefully next to me. The memory of last night came back to me - her lips had drawn me in, and I found myself staring at them, mesmerized. I blinked in shock when I felt my hand reach out and graze her lips. I stared at my hand, wondering when I had done that. I wanted to wake her and tell her to get the fuck off my bed, but something held me back. Instead, I quietly slipped out from under the sheets, put on my clothes, and made my way downstairs, my mind racing. What had I done? How could I have let myself get so close to her? I prided myself on maintaining strict boundaries, just having sex, no deep or passionate moments. So why was I so...unsettled by this woman's presence in my bed? I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. I needed to get a grip to regain control of the situation. Quickly, I walked to the kitchen and poured myself a strong cup of black coffee, hoping the caffeine would hel

Playing the victim

Behind the Billionaire's Mask!Chapter 16Victoria's POV"So, he's the bastard that cheated on his girlfriend with an older woman," I said, staring at the pictures Jaxon handed me. The image of Alex, Sophie's boyfriend, smirking beside a woman who looked at least a decade older, burned into my mind."Yes," Jaxon replied."The ex-boyfriend is a fool. He didn’t realize he was pushing his girlfriend right into the arms of a billionaire," I mused, my thoughts swirling with malicious delight. "What if he found out that his ex-girlfriend got married to someone like Julian?"I turned to face him, the corners of my lips curling into a sly smile. "Oh, it would bother him. Especially when he sees those pictures."I moved to the pictures on the table, a picture of Sophie and Julian, I had asked someone to stalk them to report all their moves to me, and he had taken pictures. I’m not ready to lose Julian, not to that poor rat of a woman. If I have to play dirty to keep him, then so be it.I had

Lonely once again

Behind the Billionaire's Mask! Chapter 17 Sophie's POV As we walked into the restaurant, a wave of warmth enveloped me. The soft glow of golden chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, casting a romantic shimmer over the elegantly set tables. Each table was draped in crisp white linen. The air was filled with the rich aroma of gourmet dishes being prepared in the open kitchen. I could hear the gentle clinking of fine china and the soft murmur of conversations mingling with the soothing notes of a live pianist in the corner. The atmosphere was intimate yet vibrant, a perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. As we made our way to our table, I noticed the plush velvet chairs that invited guests to linger a little longer, enjoying the culinary masterpieces that awaited them. The walls were lined with tasteful artwork, each piece telling a story of its own. I felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness—this was a world I had glimpsed but never fully entered. As I settled in

Whispers of change

Behind the Billionaire's Mask! Chapter 18 Sophie's POV "So, you are telling me your so-called husband knows you're coming here?" Isabella asked, her eyebrows raised in disbelief. She leaned back in her chair, her coffee cup hovering just above the table, as if she were afraid to set it down. "Yeah, he gave me his card and even assigned a car and a driver to me," I replied, a laugh escaping my lips. The absurdity of the situation still tickled me. Julian had been surprisingly accommodating since Evelyn had left a week ago, almost as if he didn’t want me to feel lonely in the mansion filled with memories and echoes of a life I hadn’t yet fully embraced. He told me I could go anywhere I wanted, but I must be back before nightfall. He has been going to work more frequently these days and only stay at home on weekends. "Wow, my friend is really a billionaire's wife now," Isabella teased, her eyes sparkling with mischief. There was something about the way she said it that made me feel

Consumed by jealousy

Behind the Billionaire's Mask! Chapter 19 Julian's POV "Yeah, I will be there soon," I said on the phone to Caleb before he hung up. Today is Caleb's wedding day. "But why the fuck is Sophie delaying me?" I muttered, glancing up at the stairs. As if summoned by my frustration, she began descending the staircase. But why the fuck is she so beautiful? Her hair was elegantly pinned up, with a few rebellious strands curling delicately at the side of her face. She wore a deep emerald dress that hugged her figure perfectly, accentuating her curves while still maintaining an air of sophistication. The fabric shimmered in the light, drawing my eyes to her every movement. "Julian," she said softly, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "Are you ready to go? You know Caleb won’t wait forever." I swallowed hard, trying to shake off the effect she had on me. "Yeah, just—give me a minute." I needed to gather my thoughts. She stepped closer, her gaze searching mine. "You okay? You

The wedding crash

Behind the Billionaire's Mask! Chapter 20 Victoria's POV "What are you doing here?" Caleb appeared suddenly in front of me, causing me to halt just in time to avoid a collision. The tension in the air was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife. "And why do you care?" I shot back, my eyes narrowing into a death glare. Every part of me wanted to push past him, but he stood there, a wall I couldn't breach. "It's my wedding, so I should know why you are here," he replied, annoyance coating his words like a bitter aftertaste. I gritted my teeth, irritation bubbling beneath the surface. All I wanted was to catch a glimpse of Julian. Ever since I had arrived, my focus had been solely on him. When I saw him slip into the restroom, I seized the moment to nudge a guy toward Sophie, noting how his eyes lingered on her. I had expertly hidden myself away, determined not to draw attention. But then I saw Julian, the way he pulled Sophie out of the venue. Just when I thought I co
