Semua Bab The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal: Bab 211 - Bab 220

I could tell that Leo’s anger was close to the surface. He was stressed and I could understand why, although I didn’t agree with his decision. I rush out when I hear him yelling at Nathan. I could hear Jasmine rush down the stairs as well.I call after Leo as I see him getting closer to Nathan. He was about to snap and I try holding his face. It was one of the few ways to soothe him. After he apologizes and turns to leave, I decide it’s best to follow him out and check on him. I had been harsh and I know that it led to tonight’s altercation. I follow him to his car and wait for him to turn his attention to me. “Claire, I didn’t mean to -“ I raise a hand to stop him.“You did and I know our conversation pushed you there. I was being too hard on you. I can see that you’re dealing with a lot right now. It was my fault.” I confess.“No, it wasn’t. I’ve been on edge since you left with our boys.” He looks into my eyes and I can see his sadness. I put my hand on his cheek again.“Claire, c

I regretted the words as soon as they left my lips. I just confessed to seeing my mother and hearing her voice and that would give the therapist ammunition against me. They’re going to think I’m crazy.“You are crazy.” My mother says calmly. The woman had no empathy even after death - vile. I return my attention to the therapist as he asks his next question. He had sat in silence observing me as I went through a mental crisis. “Charlotte, when you see your mother or hearing her voices, is she kind or is she angry with you?” I sigh as I listen to his question. I had no choice but to answer it - I had already confessed to something he wasn’t supposed to know. The damage was done.“She’s angry.” I say as I look at her face. She seems content in watching me confess that I can see her.“Why would she be angry?” He asks as he writes in his notebook.“I don’t know.” I lie. A confession was something I didn’t intend to make. It was not going to go in my favor and it was bad enough that I con

I hadn’t noticed how much I missed Elena’s cooking until the sweet and savory scents woke me from my little nap. I see her bring a platter of plates - each a very sizable portion and the babies quickly make my stomach growl. I finish each plate happily until they are all left clean. Elena smiles as me happily.“The boys love my cooking! I am so relieved.” She then hands me a bottle of water and places another one on the nightstand beside me. “Don’t forget, Ms. Claire. You must hydrate. Babies need good water.” She says as she piles the plates back onto the platter. “Thank you, Elena. Everything was delicious.” I smile at her as I feel Leo staring at me.“My pleasure, Ms. Claire.” Elena gets up as if to leave and I ask if she’d like to feel the boys. She is surprised and looks at Leo for confirmation. He nods with a smile and she quickly sits beside me and holds her hand out gently.“Oh, they have grown! I feel the kicking!” She giggles as she brings her other hand to my belly and sof

I sit in my bunk thinking about what I had just done. I wrote a testimony confessing that Charlotte is both unhinged and a danger to the woman she attacked. I wrote down every detail about our encounters and her manipulation. I discussed every occurrence in an effort to be with my son and save Roman after his involvement on my behalf. And for some reason, I felt nothing.After seeing Julia and meeting my son, there was nothing more important than my son. I needed to be there to raise him alongside the love I had thought I lost. Charlotte meant nothing to me anymore. With Julia and my son at my side, I had everything. I wait for Roman to be returned to our cell to share the news. He had already left to collect commissary and shower prior to my arrival. I needed to confer with him and share what I had done and I could feel that he would be proud of my decision although it meant breaking the code I vowed to hold for the rest of my days.I see Roman freeze as he enters and witnesses my p

Claire and I take a drive to a large baby store downtown and begin shopping for the boys. I can see by her demeanor that she is still a little bothered. I’m sure that my question to speak to Charlotte rattled her but I felt that an explanation from her was needed and I felt it was only right to receive it in a controlled setting. I park and help Claire out of the car and we walk inside the store to see there are hundreds of aisle lines with apparel, furniture, toys and baby necessities. “Have you purchased anything for the boys yet?” I ask as I keep my hand on Claire’s back as we grab a shopping cart. “I have a nursery furniture set and some clothes. Jas got excited and bought the furniture set as a gift.” She says she begins pushing the cart.“That’s a nice gift.”“It is. She had it delivered on the same day. I met Julia that day and I was frightened so Nathan took me home.” She stops to see my reaction.“Did he see what happened?” I question.“No. He was holding our bags and came
