Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Throughout the drive, Ava could not help but feel more bitterness towards Ryan. He was married, yes. She wasn't wishing to take him out of his marriage. But the fact that he would still make the same decision, even with her current status, was hurtful to her. They had a lot of beautiful moments in the past. She had imagined life with him. It would have been a lot of fun if he was there as the father of her kids. When they got home, she stayed back in the car for a while to gather her pieces together. Then, she stepped out and headed straight into the house. “You're finally back,” Aaron said to her with a welcoming smile. Aaron and Arnold were having a chat over a bottle of wine when she walked in. Arnold got and hugged her. “Welcome, love,” he said to her. She threw a glance at him and faked a smile. She was too exhausted to rebuff him at the moment. “Good evening, Aaron,” she said. “You came.” Aaron got up. “Yes, I did. Arnold said it was not up to ten minutes after you left t

The next morning, Ryan woke up to an empty bed. Kristie had woken already. Seeing that she was not there, he quickly took his shower and got dressed for work. He grabbed his briefcase and descended through the stairs. “Breakfast is served, honey,” Kristie said from the dining area. Ryan was about to say he had no interest in eating when he noticed that she was dressed up. She was heading out too. He stopped and walked to the dining area. “You ..are dressed to leave,” he said. “Is something happening today?” Kristie smiled at him. “Good morning, sweetheart. Well, I have to check up on my father today.”“Oh,” Ryan said and chuckled. “That's okay.” “Don't you think we should go together? It's been quite a good while since you saw my father. You don't even try to call him.”Ryan looked at her and smiled. For a moment, he felt pity for her. Kristie ended up falling in love with him when he had no feelings in his heart for her. He felt bad for it. But it wasn't something he could help

Ava and Arnold dropped the kids off at school and were driving off. She took a glance at Arnold and all the things Aaron had said to her flashed through her mind. The elder might not be wrong. Arnold looked like someone who would do anything to fulfill his greed. Arnold noticed Ava was stealing glances at him. “Is there a problem?” He asked her. Ava cleared her throat. “No, there's not.” He smiled. “You seem bothered, you know. Would you love to talk about it?”“Well, I have given it some moments of thought,” she replied. “I think you are right in this case.” Arnold looked at her. “I don't think I know what you are talking about. What am I right about?” “The kids,” Ava replied. “I will talk to them.” Traces of excitement appeared on the face of Arnold. “You mean your children can now call me their father. Is that what you are saying?”Ava slowly nodded her head. “Well, yes.”“Thank you, Ava. Thank you so much.” Ava shook her head. “Don't thank me. This is strictly for busines

Some days later, the internet was buzzing with adverts of the launch of the new company. Ryan did everything in his power to make sure it was streamed by every media outlet out there. He simply wanted the business to grow higher. It was his way of making up for the recent falls. Ryan stood in front of a mirror and buttoned his red Parisian tuxedo. It went with his black pants, a pair of shiny black shoes. After making sure he was in great shape, he grabbed his gold-plated wristwatch and locked it on his left wrist. Then, he sprayed his cologne all over his body. Kristie opened the door and walked in. On seeing Ryan, a smile crossed her lips. “Sweetheart, you look sweet tonight,” she said to him.Ryan turned and saw her. Kristie was wearing a long handless red dress. He could see her beauty. It just couldn't appeal to his emotions the whole time they've been together. “And you are stunning tonight,” he replied. Kristie walked up to him and kissed him on the lips, painting his lips

Ryan, at this point, felt completely broken. Ava mentioned she had a tough life. And he knew she was pointing fingers at him. He knew he was the one. But beyond that, she announced her love for Arnold to the people all around the globe. He was still sitting there, bleeding in his heart, when his father and Molly found him. He stole a glance at them approaching him and heaved a sigh. He knew he was up for another issue. “What did I just watch, Ryan?” Mr Blake asked him. Ryan said no word. He just kept mute without even looking at him. “Ryan,” Molly called him. “How is that low life the new—” Before she could finish the rest of the words, Ryan cut her off. “She… is not a lowlife,” he corrected. “As a matter of fact, she was never a lowlife.” Mr Blake heaved a disgruntled sigh. “How long have you known about this? Why the hell didn't you mention that your ex is the new chairwoman of Avalon corp?” Ryan was exhausted and needed a break from everything. If he had told them, what wou
