All Chapters of The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

I feel my blood boil as I hear my father’s harsh words but I contain myself. His grave had been dug. He would be going to prison soon so I watch him leave without a word.I turn my attention back to Francisco. He was calm and seemed happy to see me. I’m hoping his demeanor wouldn’t change when I made my demands. I tell him that I wanted to kill Claire once and for all and I’d need more man and full control of his empire to do so. I thought he’d simply agree and be happy to help but he had the audacity to demand that I stop?What has to stop, exactly?” I’m not sure I follow. He couldn’t possibly be telling me no.“This obsession has to stop. Claire is not a threat to you. She has suffered and nothing has changed. Leonardo will never appreciate you in the way that I do, mon Cher. It is time to leave this plan behind.” I hear him speak calmly as my ears begin ringing and feel heat rising up my neck.“You don’t know what you’re talking about!” I yell as I slam my palms on the table.“I do

After hearing Charlotte had visited Leo, I knew she had to have been the one to send that henchman to spy on Claire. There was no way she should’ve known that Claire had left else wise. I escorted her to her Jasmine’s house myself and this means Francisco was simply trying to protect her and if he was willing to go that far - he knew more than we did. There could be something to gain for his interrogation or at least a way to get ahead her before she hurts Claire again. I call the warden and tell him I need to interrogate Francisco immediately and review his visitors’ log. The Warden agrees and tells me to meet him in his office within the hour. Normally, I’d call Leo to assist in going over new information but I felt an obligation to keep investigating into Charlotte for Claire and I’m sure that he wouldn’t like it. I would have to do this alone if I wanted to help Claire and bring the information to Leo later and see if it changes his mind. I arrive at the prison and am escorted to

The last few days had blurred into a daze as I unpacked my thing in my room at Jasmine’s house. Elena had gone back to work and called periodically to check in and Jas checked on me every few hours. Once I finished packing, I took out my tablet and tried working on blueprints with my left hand. They weren’t perfect but they were slowly getting there and I would have to practice more if I wanted to revive my career. I practiced for two hours until I hear a man’s voice chiming in from the kitchen. I immediately feel the hairs on the back of my stand up and I’m covered in goosebumps. Did someone break in?“Claire, would you mind coming to the kitchen?” I hear Jas call out. Her tone seemed fine? Maybe I was just paranoid. I walk out slowly and peak around the corner to see a man wearing a suit and sitting at the table. Jasmine seemed comfortable around him by the looks of her body language so I walk into the kitchen. Jasmine gives me a hug.“I see you tolerate Jas the struggle snuggler.”

It only takes about two hours to unpack my things. After Celeste had filed for divorce, I decided to place most of my things in storage for the time being. I thought our divorce would have gone smoothly but she’s made a habit of asking for more assets at the end of each mediation. Her reason for our divorce was that she wanted a more consistent partner but I found that to be false. I offered to take her everywhere with me and thrived to spend more time with her but she seemed uninterested. Always wanting to stay by herself and her friends.“This everything?” I hear Jas ask as she helps me finish hanging up my clothes in the large walk-in closet.“Yup. I have everything else in storage.”“Are you okay?” She asks as she shits down on the corner of the bed.“I think so. It’s been a rollercoaster of attorneys and mediations but it’s almost over with.” Truthfully I just reached out to Jasmine and disclosed to her about my divorce but this had been ongoing for over a year. I was ashamed tha

I wake up to Jas answering the gate and checking the cameras. She’s taken up napping with me to make the babies and I are doing okay and I liked the company.“It’s Mason? Should I let him in?” She asks groggily. “Sure.” I say as I wrap myself back in the blankets.“Wait, why is here?” Jas shoots up instantly as she thinks about her question.“We don’t know until he comes in. I’ll get the door.” I say as calmly as I can. I get up slowly and stretch as best as I can with my growing belly. I walk out the room.I open the door just as Mason reaches the door and I see stress plastered on his face. “What’s going on?” I ask as I let him in.“We should have a seat, Claire.” He hands me a juice with a small smile. “I didn’t forget your juice.”“Thank you. Let’s go sit.” I lead the way to living room and I watch Mason as I sit down.“I don’t think this is directly related to you but I think it’s important that you know. Francisco escaped custody last night during a power outage at the county
