Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO

(Amara)“Mmm.”Maya hums as she rounds the corner and catches me packing up my bag. “Don’t tell me you rushed to clear your desk on time just because you’re eager to run home?”I glance at her, smile, then return to arranging my things.Maya, my best friend and work colleague, has never been one to believe in love. The idea of worrying about a partner, caring about their well-being, or stepping out of her comfort zone for someone makes her cringe. Coming from a broken home, she believes loving a man properly is pointless. According to her, they always betray you in the end.But that isn’t my story.Felix, my husband, is different. We’ve been married for five years, yet every day still feels like the first. He adores me, sends flowers, plans surprises, and does everything he can to make me smile, especially on days when the weight of trying and failing to conceive feels unbearable.Honestly, I have the perfect husband.I slide my tablet into my bag, sling it over my arm, and turn to Ma

(Amara)“Girl, a sick leave?” Maya’s voice rings through the phone.I’d called the office earlier to request one because right now, I can’t even face myself—let alone clients. “Don’t tell me you’re still floating on the moon from your time with Felix last night that you decided to cover it up with a sick leave?”I stay quiet.For a moment, I wish that were true. I wish that were the reason.But it isn’t.“Amara?” Maya calls. “Are you there?”“Ah… yeah. Yes.” My voice comes out weak. “I’m just tired.”“Are you sure?” Worry seeps into her tone.Normally, I would’ve told her everything. Maya has always been the one I run to. But never in my wildest dreams did I imagine being in a situation like this, where I have to hide the bad with the good and mask the good with lies.And knowing Maya, if I said the word, she’d be at my door within minutes.But now isn’t the time.I need to keep this to myself. At least until Selina gives birth.Her words echo in my head again: You’ll never see me aga

(Amara)Morning comes, but it brings no relief.I wake with my chest already tight, the memory of last night pressing down on me like a weight I can’t push off. I don’t think there’s anything left that can truly hurt me after this. Not after knowing they spent the entire night together. In our bedroom.Can you imagine that?Felix and Selina, tangled up in the same sheets I once believed held only us, while I curled up on the couch like a stranger in my own home. I didn’t hear a sound from them. No footsteps. No awkward silence. Nothing. As though I don’t exist at all.The bedroom door stays shut this morning, untouched, unvisited. I refuse to go near it. I won’t. Not like this. Not knowing she’s still in there, probably wrapped in his arms, breathing him in, enjoying the warmth that used to be mine.The thought slips in without permission. The way Felix holds me when I can’t sleep. His arms firm, protective, pulling me closer like the world can’t touch me when I’m there.I squeeze my

(Amara)I watch as Felix slowly turns toward me, his movements careful, almost hesitant. His eyes search my face before he speaks.“What’s come over you, Amara?”He steps closer, reaching for my shoulders, his hands warm and familiar in a way that makes my chest tighten. “This isn’t the Amara I got married to.”I go still, eyes stay locked on him as he lets go, hands dropping away. He turns his face aside, jaw tightening.“I get it,” he says quietly. “It’s all my fault.” He exhales heavily. “If I hadn’t left the house that day, after you lost the pregnancy for the fourth time… if I hadn’t gone out and gotten drunk that night, maybe none of this would’ve happened.”He pauses, then looks back at me, his gaze sharpening.“But I don’t regret it,” he says. “What I regret is pretending this wasn’t inevitable.”My heart sinks, slow and heavy.“What… what are you saying, Felix?” My voice trembles despite my effort to steady it.He takes my hands, his grip firm, grounding, almost convincing. “

(Felix)I stand frozen, staring at the empty space she just walked out of.Her voice keeps replaying in my head, every word sharper than the last.You were just an escape.I never loved you.You’re not on my level.My mind refuses to accept it. Maybe I heard wrong. Maybe I misunderstood. Maybe—I turn to Selina, my heart pounding as I point toward the door.“Did… did you hear that too?” My voice shakes. “I must have heard wrong, right?”Her eyes widen, shock flickering across her face, but she doesn’t deny it.“Felix,” she says carefully, stepping closer. “You have to calm down. Amara is gone now. You need to accept it.”I shake my head hard. “No. No, Selina. This isn’t what you said would happen.” My voice rises despite myself. “You told me if I didn’t call her, if I didn’t text her, if I gave her space last night, she would turn around. You said she’d come back different today. With a clear mind. Isn’t that what you said?”I stare at her, searching her face, as if pleasing for her t
