All Chapters of The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I hear Claire arrive and go upstairs. A few minutes later I hear the shower turn on in the guest bedroom but I don’t hear Leo come in. Had Leo finally left the peasant? I look around the house in my wheelchair and see no signs of Leo’s arrival. He hadn’t come back yet. I wait for Claire to come downstairs so that I could ask where he was but she stayed upstairs tucked in her room. I expected as much. About an hour later, I hear the front door open gently and close. I peak around the corner from my room and see Leo come in and watch as Claire rushes down the stairs as he turns around.Is that blood?I watch as Claire leads Leo upstairs and they disappear out of sight. Something didn’t seem right. Leo was never a man to sulk. He always walked with his head held high - displaying his obvious success and dominance. What has Claire do to him?I will make sure she pays for what she’s done to my love.I hear them come back downstairs and peek in the kitchen where I see Claire icing Leo’s

I left Leo in the kitchen to attend to Charlotte. Maybe now, he would understand how I felt but then again, he was probably relieved that I hadn’t left already and have chosen to accept this unfortunate agreement. After cleaning Charlotte’s makeup from her face, I went upstairs to my room. Today was exhausting and pregnancy was draining my energy. I laid down and rubbed my stomach as I felt fluttering inside. My child was growing. I was both excited and worried. I wouldn’t be able to hid behind flowing dresses much longer and I couldn’t hide when I lived in the same house as my husband. At least Charlotte would be leaving to see that German doctor, who had promised her the ability to walk again, tomorrow. That means Leo and Charlotte would be gone all day and I’d have time to be alone and think. A lot has happened lately and I needed time to myself. I hear a knock at my door and know it’s Leo by the tune. I carefully open the door a bit and see Leo standing there with eyes intent

I woke up in our bed, only it wasn’t mine anymore. I knew Leo had already left with Charlotte so I leave to my bedroom to take a shower and ready for my day. I text Jasmine to see if she was home as I make my way to the kitchen to find something to eat. “Ms. Claire, Leo left a note for you. I can make you something to eat if you’d like. I know growing baby must be a lot on you.” I freeze as I hear what Leo’s housekeeper had said. How did she find out? Does Leo know? She hands me the note with a soft smile and waits for my response.“How did you know, Elena?” “I do all the cleaning. I saw the test in the nightstand for a few days. I cleaned and put it back just like you had it. I didn’t tell a soul.” “Did you tell Leo?” I needed to know.“Never. It’s not my news to tell but I want you to know that I am happy for you.” She smiles as she grabs a few ingredients from the fridge and prepares me an omelette with orange juice. Elena was always nice to me. She was one of the only people wh

I must’ve fallen asleep in the back of the town car. Pregnancy has made me extremely lethargic. I look out the window and see that we’re not even close to Jasmine’s. I think we’re going the completely wrong way. I knock on the privacy window and ask if we’ve taken a wrong turn but get no response.I knock again and watch in horror as I see the guy smiling in the front seat. “You’re not Leo’s driver. Who are you?”“Don’t worry, sweetheart. We’re just making a quick detour.” He laughs huskily.I begin to panic and try to open the door as he pulls into a warehouse but the doors are locked and not from the inside. I quickly grab my phone to call Leo . I wait while it rings, praying he would pick up but it goes to voicemail. He must’ve left it in the car while accompanying Charlotte to the doctor. I try to call for help but my phone service goes out. I cower as I see the man get out of the car and points a gun at me instructing me to get out and follow his directions. “Please don’t hurt

I finish at the doctors with Charlotte feeling successful as they would be doing her surgery in just a few weeks. Charlotte would be walking again. The doctor had promised that. And with that, I’d be able to focus on fixing things with Claire. I get to the car to prepare to assist Charlotte and ready to leave. I check my phone and I see I have a missed call from Claire. She didn’t leave a voicemail though. I then see a missed call and a voicemail from an unknown number. I listen to the voicemail in horror. “Hey Leo, um it’s Jordan. I know I’m the last person that should be calling you but I took Claire to the hospital and it’s not looking so good. She’s unconscious right now and I didn’t know who to call. Something bad has happened to her. Give her a call when you get this message.” I drop the phone momentarily and scramble to pick it up. I call my driver and give him directions to pick up Charlotte. There was only I could do both and get to Claire in time. “Leo, where are you go
