Semua Bab Revenge on My Billionaire Ex : Bab 11 - Bab 19

Grandfather had left the house by the time I went downstairs in my work uniform. My head pounded with the onslaught of morning sickness. I couldn't take it anymore and decided to take an aspirin.Downstairs, I rummaged through the medicine cabinet. Inside, there was a transparent plastic container filled with a medley of different medicines for various ailments.I sifted through the contents with my fingers in search of a particular familiar packaging. Much to my dismay, I couldn't seem to find any aspirin.A bit frustrated, I decided to check the next cabinet. I reached for the handle and slowly pulled it open.A scream almost escaped my lips, and shivers ran down my spine upon seeing a fourteen-inch knife covered with dried blood.In my shock, I dropped the container of medicine I was still holding, and it scattered on the ground like a burst of colorful confetti.A sudden jolt of fear ran through my body, leaving me frozen in place.The question that plagued my mind was one that th

Shaking my head, I told myself he couldn't possibly know about my pregnancy since I hadn't told anyone who could have informed him.I put on a poker face. “I don't know what's running through your head, Mr. Phoenix. Accusing me of lying when I have nothing to gain is not only pathetic but also insulting.”His eyes searched mine. In a low and measured tone he asked, "Are you pregnant?"The confident smile on my face disappeared, replaced by a mix of surprise and fear.I tried to understand why he would ask such a thing. Did he hear from someone else that I was pregnant? But even if he hit home, I was still not going to admit anything. "Of course not! Why would you even ask such a preposterous question?”"Naturally, I must ask. The last time we were intimate, the condom broke.” "No, I am not pregnant," I insisted, praying he would buy it and leave me alone.The mere thought of him discovering my secret filled me with dread. If he knew that I was carrying his child, he would stop at no

I wanted to hear the truth, even if it would shatter my world and break me apart.He lifted his head, and his sad eyes focused on me. They appeared hollow and unblinking, as if I was staring into the face of a man who had given up all hope of living.“Please, just this once, Grandpa,” I pleaded. Desperation seeped from my tone. “... please... tell me the truth.”"Elizabeth," his voice was tired, matching his exhausted expression. "I know you won't believe me, but I… I didn't kill Philip. I hated the man he'd become — a despicable man who never kept his promises — but I could never bring myself to harm someone who was once like a brother to me."From the depths of my heart, I knew he was telling the truth. I felt a sudden relief, as if a thorn had been pulled out from my chest. Next thing I knew, tears were streaming down my face."Then why? Why did you have to admit that you killed him?" My voice reflected the heartbreak I felt."Because I have someone to protect, Elizabeth. So please

The night was simply breathtaking. The sky was a stunning canvas, adorned with twinkling stars that shone like precious gemstones. The soft and refreshing breeze carried the sweet scent of the delicious food on the table. Treating Samantha to dinner was my way of saying goodbye, even though she may not have realized it. “Liz, what are you thinking? You seem so absorbed tonight,” she asked, noticing my distant gaze. I shifted my eyes away from the sky and turned to her, offering her a smile that was as bright as the chandelier lights. But beneath the smile lay a maddening sadness I didn’t want her to notice. “The sky is so beautiful... I couldn’t resist watching it.” It crossed my mind to tell her about my plans, but I couldn’t bring myself to do so. I didn’t want to hurt her, and I knew she would be devastated if she heard the truth from me. I took a sip of my juice and pushed the negative thoughts to the back of my mind. I wanted to enjoy this moment, to cherish it beca

“Elizabeth Stone, it's been decided that you're going to be sent to the largest prison in the city.” Chief Dallas informed me as he escorted me out of my prison cell.Detective Cavanaugh, who was waiting outside, asked, “Are you ready?" I nodded. "Before I leave, though, could I speak with Chief Dallas in private?"The man let out a tired sigh but ultimately relented. "Alright, but make it quick."Chief Dallas and I walked to his office where we could talk out of earshot. "Is there anything you need, Elizabeth?"“I… I have a favor to ask.”“Tell me,” he answered with a deep, puzzled frown.I felt a lump form in my throat and swallowed it hard. "Will you please keep an eye on my grandfather while I'm away? I worry about him. He’s the type to climb up to the roof to make repairs, carry heavy objects, and do things that aren't suitable for his age. Apart from that, he lives alone. It would be a great relief to me if you could check on him occasionally.”"Elizabeth, you truly are a goo
