THE CEO’S BETRAYAL; EX-WIFE HIDES HIS BABIES
Camilla thought the worst day of her life was the day she was framed for cheating—and it only got worse when her contract husband, Lawrence, divorced her without giving her a chance to explain. But nothing could have prepared her for the final blow: walking in on Lawrence and her best friend tangled in bed. Betrayed, humiliated, and heartbroken, Camilla disappears from his life, vowing never to reveal the one secret that could tie them together forever—she's pregnant with his child.
Years pass, and Camilla has rebuilt her life on her own terms. Now a respected surgeon, she's engaged to Raymond, a charming man who offers her stability and peace. But her carefully constructed world begins to crumble when Lawrence reappears—this time, as the powerful new owner of her hospital. He's no longer the man she remembers. And he wants her back.
As buried truths resurface and past betrayals are unraveled, Camilla finds herself caught in a dangerous game of love, lies, and second chances. Lawrence’s love for her burns stronger than ever, but Raymond’s motives remain uncertain.
When everything she thought she knew turns out to be a lie, Camilla must make an impossible choice: return to the man who shattered her, or risk everything on the one who’s never truly let her in.

Chapter: CHAPTER 49.Camilla’s POV.I wasn’t supposed to come in today. But as usual… Lawrence happened.I’d told Dr. Andrew a few days ago that I needed time off to visit my sick mom. That was a lie, of course. Mom was fine.What I’d actually planned to do today was visit the donor and take him in for some final testing. But then Andrew called early this morning.He didn’t say much—just one sentence, really.“Lawrence is coming in today.”At first, I was annoyed. Why today, of all days?But then Andrew added, “It’s his last check-up. We just need to take off the final bandages and run a few scans to confirm his recovery.”His last check-up.That line echoed in my head like a soft, fading song. For a moment, I stood there in silence, holding the phone to my ear, unsure how to feel.It’s not like I hate Lawrence. I don’t. Our last conversation still stings a little, but I had to do what I did. I needed to protect my peace… and the truth.Still, I couldn’t keep avoiding him forever. It was childish, and the

Chapter: CHAPTER 48.Lawrence's POV.I got up from the bed, restless again.For the past few days, sleep had been running from me like I was chasing it with a stick. No matter how tired I felt, the moment I closed my eyes, my mind would start racing. Memories, regrets, questions—they all kept flooding in. It was exhausting.With a sigh, I got out of bed and made my way downstairs. The house was quiet, dim, and cold. Just like my thoughts.I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge to get a bottle of water. My eyes fell on the scrapbook I had taken from Mom’s room. I had left it on the counter earlier, planning to look at it again.It was old and worn but still so full of meaning. Mom had made one for each of us—me and Liana—when we were turning ten. She made us sit in different rooms and write about each other. Paste pictures. Draw memories. And the rule was simple—we weren’t allowed to look at each other’s pages until we turned eighteen.But life had other plans.Mom died before that day came. And s

Chapter: CHAPTER 47.Liana's POV.As soon as Edgar stood up from the dining table, he muttered, “I’ll be back,” and walked out.The silence that followed was deafening. None of us said a word. Just the soft clinking of cutlery and the distant chirping of birds from outside.I was already uncomfortable before he left, and now it was just worse.Then, like she couldn’t take the awkwardness anymore, Andra decided to speak.“So… how have you been, Lawrence?” she asked, her voice calm but a little too cheerful.“I’ve been good, and you?” Lawrence replied politely.“I’m good too,” she said. “Though I must admit… my progress can’t really be compared to yours.”That made Lawrence pause. His brows furrowed slightly. “What do you mean by that?”She gave a small chuckle. “Come on, Lawrence, you don’t have to pretend. It’s all over the news. Knights Mobile, that huge contract you signed with the Indian company. You’re not just doing good, you’re killing it. You’re like… the country’s golden boy now.”Lawrence gave a

Chapter: CHAPTER 46.Lawrence’s POV.I sat quietly in my office, my head resting against the back of my chair, eyes shut. The day had drained every ounce of energy I had. I hadn’t even noticed how tense my shoulders were until I tried to relax.It’s been a rough couple of weeks.The work kept piling up, and even though Dylan helped me here and there, a lot of it still needed my attention. I’d spent the whole morning buried in documents, flipping through contracts and signing papers like a machine.Knights Mobile was growing rapidly—better than I had expected, honestly. And as exhausting as it was, I couldn’t deny I felt proud of how far we’d come.Still, lunch break came and I felt nothing. No hunger. No appetite. Just emptiness.Dylan and the others had already gone to grab lunch or ordered theirs in. I just stayed behind, staring out the glass window for a while before leaning back into my chair again.For days now, I haven’t been able to eat lunch properly. It’s like my body just shuts down at this hou

Chapter: CHAPTER 45.Camilla’s POV.When we got home, Raymond didn’t waste a second before stepping out of the car. He walked around and gently opened the door on my side like a true gentleman.“Wow, what a gentleman you are,” I teased with a playful smirk.“Well, you are my queen. I have to treat you like one,” he replied smoothly and placed a soft kiss on my arm.Immediately, I felt my cheeks heat up. That man knew how to make me melt without even trying.He pointed at my face and burst into laughter. “It’s nice seeing you blush like a high school kid.”I rolled my eyes and straightened up. “I wasn’t blushing,” I said with fake confidence. “It’s just that the weather is hot tonight.”He smirked knowingly. “Is that so?”“Yes, it is,” I said, holding my ground.“Okay then, let’s try something new,” he said, taking hold of my right hand.Before I could ask what he meant, he began placing slow, lingering kisses from the tip of my fingers up to my wrist and forearm. A trail of goosebumps followed every kiss,

Chapter: CHAPTER 44.Camilla’s POV,Raymond sat there for a few seconds, silent and still. I kept staring at George, who lay so small and fragile on the hospital bed, hooked up to machines that beeped softly in the quiet room. My heart ached in a way I hadn’t expected.I couldn’t bring myself to speak. I couldn’t find the words to explain what I’d been hiding all this time. The guilt weighed heavily on me, like a thick fog pressing down on my chest. I should have told him. I should have told him weeks ago when everything changed.“Raymond,” I finally called, my voice trembling as I moved closer to him. I sat down on the chair beside him, feeling so exposed under his gaze. I reached out and took his arm gently, needing contact.“Raymond, I’m sorry,” I said, my voice barely a whisper, thick with regret.He didn’t look at me right away. Instead, his eyes were fixed on George, his brow furrowed deep in thought. “What’s wrong with George?” he asked quietly.I swallowed hard and took a deep breath. “Weeks ago…

Ivy cried and coughed boisterously.She grew up without a family, she thought her life was perfect till she met Tarquin who turned her world upside down. The arrogant and cold imbecile who became the most wonderful person in her life.The kids he gave her were the only reason why she didn't kill herself, why she didn't stop striving to stay alive. They were the reason why she wanted to meet

He called her a few more times but then he got no response, he ran like a madman to the house.Reaching there, he beeped his car horn numerous times for the gates to be opened but nothing happened.Tarquin got out of his car and went to the gate. To his horror, as he pushed it, it opened without much effort.He went inside and saw the guards on the floor, dead. His heart pounded greatly in his chest and it felt like his world was going to crumble before his face.Quickly, he ran into the house but there was no one.

Little brats." She spat bitterly. "It's because of you and these fools that I wasn't able to complete my mission."Ivy wanted to speak but her mouth was sealed, so she made muffled sounds."You wanna talk? What do you want to say, do you desire to beg me for your life or say your last prayer, which one?" Annabel asked with a smirk.Ivy nodded disorientedly, she had to say something, anything that could save her life and that of her children. She loved her kids so much and she preferred dying than seeing them get hurt.Annabel decided to fulfill her wish and make fun of her. She sauntered to Ivy who was tied to

Ivy grinned and walked to him."Thank you, I'm making it with lots of love," Tarquin said, affectionately.Ivy smiled and pecked him on the cheek. He gave her a boyish smile and continued cooking."This is going to be delicious and you're going to lick your fingers once you dig in," Tarquin said."You mean that I would lick my plate till there's not even a single drop of sauce on it?" She raised an eyebrow, waiting for his reply."Yeah, there will also be a certain urge to even eat the plate too." Tarquin teased her.Ivy laughed and smacked his back playfully."Stop exaggerating."Tarquin chuckled and leaned closer to kiss her lips. Finally reaching her, he pressed his lips on hers and they both smiled."Are you feeling comfortable with that thing in you?" Tarquin asked, referring to

Chapter: Chapter 70.Author's pov "No!" Olivia's answered flatly. "I don't understand, no what?" Carlos asked her feeling surprised. "No, I will not marry you!" Olivia repeated with a note of finality in her voice."Why can't you marry me?" Carlos asked her feeling hurt by the constant rejection he was always getting from Olivia. "Look Carlos, I have told you before that there is no space for love in my heart right now, I appreciate your friendship and your help and concern but you see anything more than pure platonic friendship, I don't want it." Olivia asserted. Carlos worries about the rejection like a mask on his face. He could not hide it and it hurt him badly but he still tried to convince Olivia knowing fully well that there was nothing more that he was going to say that would change her mind."See Olivia, this is not even about love or marriage, this goes beyond yourself, you have to think of your child here..." Carlos tried explaining. "That's exactly what I am doing! Everything I am doing

Chapter: Chapter 69.Author's POV.Olivia was about to take a sip of the juice when her boss suddenly flung the glass from her hand.The glass of orange juice fell to the floor and shattered. Olivia flinched and stared at her boss in shock and confusion."Why did you do that?" Olivia asked.Her boss heaved a sigh of relief and shook her head."Nothing," She replied."I don't understand, you must have done that for a reason," Olivia muttered, a bit suspicious of her behavior. "I added some brown sugar which isn't too natural...and I don't know if you are allergic to it. Since you are an omega, you could be prone to different allergies and I didn't want to give you something that would make you more sick," Her boss lied. Olivia never thought she could harm her, so didn't suspect her intentions further. "Oh okay," Olivia beamed at her. "I'm not allergic to anything. I can eat whatever I have but thank you for your concern," Her boss forced a smile on her lips and nodded. "Let me clean this up," Olivia s

She rubbed her eyes gently, feeling bewildered by the knock."Come in,"The door creaked open and Olivia saw her boss walking into her room. Her eyes bulged in surprise and she quickly sat up despite the dizziness that immediately overwhelmed her."Oh," She whimpered, taking her hand to her head."Hey, why did you get up like that?" her boss asked with a forced smile on her lips."Ma'am, I'm sorry for not working. I am not feeling well and the pregnancy is taking a toll on me. I know that I have no right to rest and expect a payment but please pity me," Olivia said in one breat

"Why is it hurting this bad, gosh!" she complained.She placed her other hand on her stomach and rubbed it gently."Baby, give Mommy a little rest," Olivia pleaded.

Chapter: Chapter 66.Author's pov "What?" Olivia exclaimed, surprised by what her boss had just suggested."You heard me right, you cannot keep the baby!" Her boss insisted."And why is that? Why would you suggest such a wicked act that I should kill an innocent baby." Olivia bemoaned."Olivia, you have to be reasonable! You are in no position to keep a baby! Who would take care of the baby? How will you feed and clothe the baby? Do you think taking care of a newborn baby is a walk in the park? You can barely even fend for yourself and now you want to add another mouth to feed? And what if the worst happens and you end up giving birth to twins or triplets?" Her boss asked Olivia trying to reason with her.Olivia thought about what her boss had just told her for some time and tried to consider it but then she put her hands on her stomach and gasped. How could she think of doing that to an innocent baby who did nothing wrong?"No! I will not! I will keep my baby, even if I have to beg to feed myself and th

Chapter: Chapter 65.Author's pov "What? I don't get it, you want us to kill Dante?" Anna asked Mateo in shock. "Yes and also to take over his properties," Mateo answered nonchalantly. "So when we succeed in killing Dante, who is going to take over his properties?" Anna asked Mateo."What kind of stupid question is that? Who else would it be if not me?" Mateo asked Anna back and it was clear that he was beginning to get irritated by the question. "So what happens to me and my son? What would be our share in it?" Anna asked, choosing to ignore Mateo's irritation. She was fighting for her and her son's future so she was not ready to act soft and naive before Mateo. Anna knew that Dante did not love her nor did he come to trust her but she knew that she and her son's future was more secure with Dante than with Mateo whom she had come to know as a very selfish and self-centered person. She was not ready to risk her and her son's bright and settled future to please someone as condescending and disrespect
