All Chapters of Behind the Billonaire's Mask : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41Sophie's POV I stepped out of the car, the driver holding the door open with a polite nod, and he collected the food flask i was clutching. I walked into the hospital, the sterile scent of antiseptic and the low murmur of voices enveloping me. Julian had been gone for a whole long week, and the ache of his absence was a constant thrum in my chest. Video calls were never enough; they were mere shadows of what I craved. I missed him like crazy. I missed the way his eyes would light up when he saw me, the warmth of his hands on my skin, and the way his voice, rich and commanding, could soothe my most anxious thoughts. I miss his soft lips on mine. Each moment without him felt like an eternity, stretching the time until I could be wrapped in his embrace once more.I often found myself reflecting on how I had come to feel so deeply for someone I once thought of as a devil in disguise. The proposal he had made—inviting me to warm his bed—had initially made me despise him so mu

Chapter 43 Julian's POV "Did you even listen to yourself?" I asked, fuming in anger. "Mr. Blackwood, I think that's the best solution: to sack the part-time employees and leave the full-time staff. That's what most companies do," the manager replied, his tone matter-of-fact. "We are not like 'most companies.' We are different; everything about us should be,' I insisted. "But what about paying them? The company is short on cash as it is," he countered, a hint of frustration creeping into his voice. "I've been able to talk to some investors. I should be able to talk to more tomorrow," I said. "But what if they do not agree? Let’s shed some staff, at least if not all," he pressed on. "Why are you being pessimistic? If you were in their position, would you be happy to be sacked suddenly? Most of them have families to feed. We can't just let them go for our own gain," I said, my voice rising slightly. He fell silent, his hands locked together in front of him. "Just go home a

Chapter 45Alex's POVFLASHBACK BEGINS"So, you mean Julian is coming today?" Victoria asked on the phone, her voice carrying a weight of urgency. "I don't want false information, Marcus. If I find out it's false, you know what I can do.""Okay...you don't have to worry about why I want to know when he will be back," she continued, her gaze fixed on me. I could feel the tension in the air as I watched her. "So, you booked his flight for eleven today?" She glanced at her wristwatch. "Then he should be getting ready to land in an hour, right?""Okay," she said, disconnecting the call and turning to me with a determined expression. "Julian will be landing in an hour.""Shall I get started?" I asked, standing up to move closer to her."Yeah, good luck. Jenkins will be there to help you," she said, pecking me on the cheek, making me blush. "I trust you.""Okay," I replied, pulling her into a hug. "I will be back soon."I stepped back from the hug, grabbed my jacket, and left the house. Des

Chapter 47Julian's POV I kept driving through the city, my mind racing and my heart pounding. The walls around me felt like they were closing in, suffocating me with the weight of the truth I was struggling to accept. Sophie… I couldn't wrap my head around the idea that she could do something so deceitful. The evidence was glaringly clear, yet my heart refused to believe it. I felt as if I were caught in a surreal nightmare, one that I couldn’t wake up from.Our connection had been so fast as if we had known each other for years, even in such a short time. As I navigated the familiar streets, memories of my past flooded my mind, dragging me back to the bitter moments with Victoria. History repeated itself, and I was left grappling with the painful echoes of betrayal. The feeling of déjà vu was almost suffocating, a reminder of how easily trust could unravel. My hands clenched the steering wheel tightly, as if it were the only thing anchoring me in this tumbulous storm of emotion

Chapter 49Alex's POV"Let's get a divorce," I said, my voice steady despite the storm of emotions swirling inside me. Stella had just returned home from one of her usual late-night parties, and I had gathered every ounce of courage to voice the thought that had been haunting me for weeks. I was done pretending; my focus needed to be solely on Sophie and Victoria."What?" she replied, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief.I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of my words. "Honestly, I have no reason to live with you. We have no kids, we don’t love each other. Our marriage is just a formality; only on paper, we didn’t even have a proper wedding. We live like strangers, and you’re seeing someone else. Nothing good has come from this so-called marriage."Stella dropped her bag on the table and sat down on the bed next to me, her fingers unbuttoning her blouse. "Did you meet your ex-girlfriend? Are you back with her?" she shot back, a hint of accusation in her tone."Nooo..." I
