Betrayed By The Billionaire 275
The master bedroom in the Bishop Manor was a landscape of elegant mahogany and silk, but for Chloe Bishop, it felt like a cage of high-stakes social duty. She watched Xavier Grayson as he remained silent, his profile as sharp and cold as carved obsidian."You mentioned a car accident on your way here," Chloe said, her voice carefully neutral as she tried to bridge the icy gap between them. "If you suspect it was intentional, it isn't safe to leave tonight. Stay here. At least for the night."Xavier turned his head slowly, a mirthless, paper-thin smile touching his lips. "If it was intentional, then coming back with me is perfect. You can serve as my human shield."A human shield?The words weren't a joke; in Xavier’s ruthless world, they were a distinct possibility. Chloe felt her heart sink. The man standing before her wasn't a husband; he was a predator who viewed her as a tactical asset. Without a word, she bent down and scooped up Liam Jr., who was nodding off on the velvet sofa.

As Chloe Bishop descended the grand staircase, her mind was a whirlwind of anxiety. She could still feel the phantom pressure of Xavier Grayson’s fingers on her neck and hear the biting echo of his "loathing." She expected to find the banquet hall in disarray, her mother making excuses for the "Demon CEO’s" abrupt and silent departure.Instead, she froze.There sat Xavier, reclaimed by his seat at the head of the table, perfectly composed. The feast was in full swing. He was currently cutting a piece of Wagyu beef with surgical precision, his expression as calm as a frozen lake.As Chloe slid into her seat beside him, she realized the atmosphere in the room had shifted from tense to... suggestive. Every guest at the table had a knowing smirk playing on their lips. The gazes directed at her and Xavier were heavy with an uncomfortable, predatory ambiguity.Then, she felt the burn of a gaze from across the table. Donovan Tang’s eyes were fixed on her lips—now swollen and reddened from Xa

The air in the master suite crackled with the static of a dying marriage. Xavier Grayson’s hand tightened around Chloe Bishop’s throat, his veins standing out like cords. On the surface, the "Demon CEO" was in a towering rage, yet beneath the lethal posturing, his grip lacked its usual crushing force. He was a man drowning in a storm of his own making, lashing out at the only anchor in sight.Chloe didn't flinch. She met his turbulent gaze with a faint, mocking curve of her lips—a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "I agree with you, and you’re unhappy. I disagree, and you’re still unhappy," she said, her voice a dry whisper. "How exactly am I supposed to answer you, Xavier?"Xavier’s face was a mask of thunder. Her lack of reaction to his kiss—and her casual suggestion that he find another woman—was the ultimate insult to his masculinity. Did he hold no attraction for her at all? Or was her heart so crowded with the ghosts of Liam Martin and Donovan Tang that there was no room for him

Chloe Bishop wasted no more words. She pulled on a pair of sterile latex gloves, her movements clinical and steady. She picked up the surgical forceps, dipped them in disinfectant, and positioned her hand at the jagged edge of the wound.Without the obstruction of his shirt, the injury was stark. The glass shard sat deep in the muscle, reflecting the harsh vanity lights of the bedroom. It appeared to be a single, solid piece, but appearances in trauma were often deceptive.She didn't give Xavier Grayson a warning. She clamped the forceps onto the glass and yanked it out in one swift, vertical motion.A fountain of fresh, hot blood immediately saturated the surrounding skin. Chloe glanced at Xavier’s face; his brow merely twitched, his jaw locking so hard the muscles stood out like iron cables.She immediately pressed a thick pad of gauze against the opening, applying firm, rhythmic pressure. "Can you feel any grit? Any sharp points inside?" she asked.In the world of the Bishops, pain

Chloe Bishop’s almond-shaped eyes met Xavier Grayson’s piercing gaze. Her expression remained flat, almost detached. "Donovan Tang has no reason to do that," she said quietly. "And even if he did, that is between you men in the business world. It has nothing to do with me.""A fine 'nothing to do with me.'"Xavier’s grip on her jaw tightened, his fingers digging into her skin with a cold, mechanical force. The air in the room grew so heavy it felt impossible to draw a breath. "Chloe, you truly are a master of playing the fool."With a sudden, sharp motion, he shoved her away. Chloe, already off-balance from leaning over him, tumbled to the carpeted floor.She didn't cry out. Instead, a faint, tragic smile touched her lips as she looked up at him from the ground. "It seems," she whispered, her voice laced with a profound sorrow, "that you didn't listen to a single word I said the other day."Everything she had poured out—her fears, her dignity, her plea for basic respect—had been disca

The tension in the banquet hall was a physical weight, but Xavier Grayson had reached his limit. Just as he stood to offer a cold, final departure without a word of goodbye, a small, trembling hand clamped around his wrist."Come upstairs with me for a moment," Chloe Bishop whispered.Xavier looked down. Chloe’s face was ghostly, her eyes wide and swimming with a silent, desperate plea. She knew he was on the verge of walking out—and taking the Bishop family’s last shred of dignity with him.Every logical instinct in Xavier’s mind screamed at him to shake her off. Her heart wasn't with him; why should he care about her family’s "face"? Yet, tethered by an impulse he couldn't name, he found his feet moving in sync with hers. He allowed her to lead him away from the prying eyes of the elite.Downstairs, Aunt Sarah let out a tittering laugh, covering her mouth with a manicured hand. "My, look at those two. So inseparable."Old Mrs. Grayson beamed, turning to Old Mrs. Tang with a triumpha
