Semua Bab The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal: Bab 201 - Bab 210

I drive to Leo’s office and pick him up before paying Charlotte’s father a visit. We drive to the county jail where the Warden is already waiting for us at the entrance.“Mason, any news on our escaped prisoner?”“No. But I need to see Charlotte’s father.”“Why?” He asks quizzically as he sees I’ve brought Leo as well.“He was the last one to speak with Francisco and I think he knows something.” His face turns stern as he hears I explain my theory about him having something to do with Francisco’s escape. “Follow me. I’ll have the guards bring him down immediately.” He stalks off into the building and we follow. We’re brought to a room and within seconds, we see Charlotte’s father being brought him. The warden leaves without a word after he sit released from his chains and sat down.“What the hell is he doing here?” He spits as he looks as Leo.“Does my presence upset you?” Leo asks calmly as he’s hoping to get him to talk.“You’re the reason my daughter is in this mess.” He seethes.

She was fine until I came along? What did that mean?“Joe, what changed in Charlotte after her relationship with Leo?” Mason asks as I sit there silently - trying to piece together what could’ve happened.“She became obsessed with regaining Leo’s love and affection. She became devoid of any other emotion. Her fixation on him grew.” He says to Mason.“Did she ever hear voices?” I interrupt.“No. Why would you ask that?” He seemed appalled.“Charlotte was yelling and talking to someone when we detained her but there was no one there.” Mason adds.“No. That’s not possible.” He shakes his head.“Did you know that she orchestrated attacks harming Leonardo’s wife?” Mason asks gravely.“No. I only learned this when she asked Francisco for more assistance in my presence.”“Did he agree?” I ask quickly.“No. He told her that he would not assist her in harming the girl any further and it enraged her.” I add.“Do you think she is a harm to herself and others?” Mason asks.“Yes.” “We want to get

It’s officially been twenty-four hours since I was dragged here by force. And to my surprise, no one’s coming looking for me. Francisco hasn’t reached out since the mentioning of Dahlia, Leo hasn’t checked in on me, officer Mason hasn’t made any appearance and my father would be oblivious from the walls of his prison cell. I’m alone, except for the insufferable voice of my mother.“I have no intention of leaving you alone.” I hear her voice ring through my ears as I see her appear in the chair across from my bed.“You could never take a hint.” I murmur in a hushed tone.“You could never keep your jealousy and rage under control. I blame your father - he spent so much time indulging in the attention he gave you.” She crosses her legs as she speaks.“Is a hint of jealousy?” I mock. “Are you angry that father loved me more?”“No. I am mortified that you are all he has left.” “Seems like many emotions for a dead woman.” I seethe. She makes no sound or response. She simply sits there sile

I finally make it to the courthouse and head to the judge’s quarters. I hand him my petition and explain my motion for filing. He nods without saying a word and I leave. It was now his job to review my request and documentation and assign a court date. Once a date was assigned, I’d ask Claire to appear to act as a a testimony of Charlotte’s character. It was hard to ignore what she had done especially when you look at Claire’s hand and how defenseless and kind she is. I think to go home but I’m hit with the need to find Francisco. I knew this wouldn’t be an easy task so I call in special task force. There was the possibility of him being protected and armed - he was a mafia leader after all. I send out orders and give out the address that Joe’s attorney had given me and make my way down the coastline. If Francisco was willing to retract his confession, I’d gladly take it in exchange for a statement from Charlotte and something tells me he just might with this Dahlia woman lingering a

I race to Jasmine’s house and wait at the door. Once it opens, I see the face on the other side turn to shock. It was Nathan - her uncle. He steps aside and I nod before walking past time to find Claire in the living room. She was lying down and rubbing her belly on the couch. I notice how her belly has doubled in size since the last time I’d seen her. A sign that our sons were growing beautifully inside her. She shifts her weight and struggles to sit upright and I come to her side and assist her. “Are you feeling okay?” I ask instinctively. “Yes, I’m fine. It’s just hard to move around sometimes. What are you doing here?” She asks confused.“I have something’s I wanted to speak to you about.” I press. She stands and begins to walk to her room. I knew that meant that she wanted to speak in private and I follow her. Although I can feel Nathan’s eyes following me - much to my displeasure.“Can you close the door?” She asks as she sits on the bed, crossing her legs and filling the spac
