All Chapters of The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Not that it’s a fresh new day, it’s time to execute my plans.The first part of my plan is to have Francisco appoint his men to plan drugs in Matthew’s home which I conveniently located through his sources. With Matthew being arrested, Claire would be distracted in try to save her brother and void the new caution she’s developed.I place an innocent call to Matthew’s job and ask if he was in today. I was pleased to hear that he was. I then texted Francisco to let him know that everything was set. His men staked out the apartment and found it to be completely vacant.Francisco ordered his men to enter the apartment and stash a lump some of drugs in different areas to stage Matthew as a drug dealer. Once the drugs were placed, Francisco placed an anonymous call to the DEA from a pay phone located just outside of the city.He alerted them to a possible drug dealer in the city and gave them Matthew’s name and address. He stated that he had been approached in the street and offered a deal

I awoke after a much needed rest in Leo’s arms. I look up to see that he is already awake. He had stayed with me the entire night. I had almost expected Charlotte to call him beckoning him back to her and away from me.“I should get ready to head to my suite. I still have a few blueprints that need to be finished today.” “Okay. I’ll have my driver bring some things for me to change and we’ll head to your suite. No sense in going alone.” He says as he pulls on his shirt. I nod. As much as I had wanted to decline, I knew that him escorting me was a safer approach to me calling for a cab.I get dressed and head to the kitchen to see Jasmine just getting off the phone and turning to me with a smile.“Hey, just got the report from last night and surveillance didn’t have any issues or intruders. How did you sleep?” “I slept okay. I just have to get some blueprints done. Leo is getting ready so he can accompany me to my suite.” I say as I make him a cup of coffee.“That’s nice of him. If

Claire is shaken by this ordeal but I lead her through the process carefully. We give our identification and I let speak. I know talking was her way of coping in this scenario. She had questions and I wanted her to ask for the answers she needed while I mentally juggle through the possibilities of what could’ve happened.Matthew has been arrested for possessing narcotics and is being charged with some very serious felonies. But this is where I’m stumped. If Matthew really was distributing and dealing drugs, he would’ve never came to Claire and I for money for past gambling addictions. What Claire doesn’t know is that I knew every single time that she had given him hush money. She had tried to keep him from extorting money from me and she paid him personally out of her own funds.I also know that Claire has a bad history and fear of drugs but she’s never felt comfortable talking about it so I’ve never pushed her to open up. I had done research about the death of her parents when she to

We go through security and search and are brought to a private room where we’re instructed to knock on the door twice if we want to end our visitation early for any reason. Leo pulls out my seat for me as we both sit and wait to see my brother. I see Matthew being brought in, chains fastened to his hands, feet and waist. An overstatement in my eyes. Matthew was no danger to anyone other than himself. And lately, he had turned his life around and was doing so well for himself. It saddened me to see him here after all the work he’s put in to become a better person.I watch as they carefully remove his chains and cuffs and close the door, leaving just and Matthew to speak. “I’m thankful that you came Claire. And thank you for accompanying her, Leonardo. I know this must be hard.” He says quietly as if she’s ashamed of himself.“What happened, Matthew?” I ask as I place my hand over his to redirect his eye contact to me. “I got up in the morning and got ready for work. And about two hou

From the moment we sat down, I could tell that Claire was emotionally teeter tattering on the edge of a breakdown. She was clammy, fidgeting, hyper-focused, distant and she was silent. Not quite - silent. I hoped that seeing Matthew would stop her from tipping over the edge but I saw the way she looked at him when he was brought in wearing those chains. Matthew didn’t know Claire had been pregnant when he mentioned about his becoming a father. I was happy for him. He finally had something positive in life. Something important enough to change him and I know Claire was happy for him.Claire almost crumbles at the word: pregnant. I don’t think she’s made any time to cope with the loss of our son. She’s kept herself engulfed in work to avoid the thought entirely. I squeeze her thigh as Matthew talks about his growing family. As much as it hurt Claire, it hurt me as well.My actions led to Claire believing I didn’t want a child and hiding her pregnancy. My beliefs led me to accuse Claire
