(Amara)

I slowly lift my gaze toward the room.

For a split second… I see her.

Walking toward me.

A soft smile on her lips.

My fingers tighten instantly, nails biting into my palm as my breath catches in my throat. My chest constricts, heartbeat spiking so fast it almost hurts. It feels real—too real—like the air itself has shifted around her presence.

I shut my eyes.

Hard.

I draw in a slow, shaky breath, holding it like I’m trying to steady something breaking inside me. Then I open them again.

    (Stella)“Here.”I stretch the stack of cash toward the bartender.“For a job well done.”His eyes widen instantly. A nervous giggle escapes him as he takes the money.“Thank you. Thank you, ma'am.”A satisfied smile touches my lips.“I’m sure you know what to do.”“Yes.” He nods quickly. “You don’t have to worry. I already made sure the CCTV footage has been cleared. And I’ll be leaving the city today, so there’s no way he’ll find out. He’ll never be able to learn the truth about that night.”Good.My smile deepens.“Excellent. If everything continues going smoothly, there will be more where that came from.”His face lights up immediately.“Thank you, ma'am.”He practically bows before hurrying away.The moment he disappears into the crowd, a laugh slips from my lips.Everything replays inside my head.The act.The plan.The execution.Every single move I carefully put into place.And now?Everything is unfolding exactly as I intended.I lean back in my chair, crossing one leg over t

    (Rayner)A groan tears from my throat as I force my eyes open."Argh..."Pain pounds behind my temples.I press my fingers against them, squeezing my eyes shut."Why does it hurt this much?"My head feels like it's splitting apart."Stefan, get me a coffee, please."Silence.No answer.I frown."Gosh, where did he go?"I throw the sheets aside and start to sit up.Then my gaze shifts.And I freeze.My entire body locks."Ste... Stella?"My heart plummets.She's lying beside me.In my bed.For a second, I stop breathing.My eyes dart wildly around the room.My trousers are on the floor.My shirt is halfway across the room.The blankets are a mess.Panic slams into me.No.No.No.I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to remember.Anything.Something.But my mind is empty.Blank.The harder I try, the worse the pounding becomes.A soft rustle breaks the silence.Stella stirs.Then slowly opens her eyes."You're awake?"I practically jump out of bed."What are you doing here?"My voice comes ou

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 163 The truth I can’t deny

    (Rayner)I watch her talk.The hurt she tries so hard to hide. The frustration burning in her eyes. The way her fingers curl tightly at her sides.And suddenly, I can’t do it anymore.My heart pounds against my ribs.The feelings I've spent months burying crash through me like a dam breaking. Every wall I've built around myself shatters at once.The tightness in my chest.The longing.Everything.Before I can stop myself, my feet move and I close the distance between us, crashing my lips against hers.And the moment they do, everything inside me stills.It’s like the chaos inside me suddenly quiets, the weight I’ve been carrying for so long finally lifting from my chest.My hand stays on her face, holding her gently as I continue kissing her.She doesn’t pull away.Doesn’t stop me.Just… lets me.For a few breathtaking seconds, the world disappears.It's just us.Just her lips on mine.Just the feeling I've been fighting for far too long.Slowly, I pull back.My forehead almost touche

    (Rayner)Shock rips through me as my eyes land on her.Amara.Then my gaze shifts.Straight to Lorenzo.The smirk on his face tells me everything I need to know.The bastard isn't even trying to hide it anymore.Before I can fully process the scene, Amara turns and walks away.My body reacts before my brain does.I take a step after her.Then a hand catches my wrist.I stop.Turn.Lorenzo.Anger explodes through me immediately.I yank my arm free."Rayner."His voice is calm.Too calm."She's with me. I'll go check up on her."Every muscle in my body tightens.The hell he will.I open my mouth, about to protest when another voice cuts through the tension."You should let Lorenzo go after her."Grandpa.My head snaps toward him."But Grandpa..."He lifts a hand.A simple gesture.One he's barely ever used on me.Yet it immediately silences me.The finality in his eyes hits harder than any order.And just like that, Lorenzo walks away.Toward her.Toward Amara.My jaw locks.My fists cu

    (Amara)“You free?”The voice cuts through the quiet of my office.I look up.Lorenzo.A smile immediately pulls at my lips.“Lorenzo, you're here?”“Yeah.” He slips his hands into his pockets. “I figured you'd be rounding up for the day by now, so I thought I'd come by.”I push back from my desk and rise to my feet.“Actually, I was just about to—”“There's somewhere I'd like you to join me.”I pause.“Somewhere?”His expression shifts slightly.Almost hesitant.“Yeah.”A small knot forms in my stomach.***A few minutes later, we're pulling into a resort.The engine dies and Lorenzo steps out first.I’m about to open the car door myself when it suddenly pulls open from the outside.“Let me.”A cheeky smile tugs at my lips.“A resort?” I say, glancing around as I step out.“Yeah.” He closes the car door. “There’s someone I would like you to meet.”“Someone?” I repeat, narrowing my eyes.A laugh slips from me. “Family?”He looks at me and nods once.I pull my hair behind my ear.“Ahh,

    (Rayner)She starts to turn toward me and I react instantly, stepping back and ducking behind a parked car. My heart hits hard against my ribs.“What’s wrong? What are you hiding from?” Stefan’s voice comes from behind me.I don’t answer him. I can’t.I lift my head slightly again, just enough to see.And then I see her.Amara.Stefan follows my line of sight. “Oh!” He points, eyes widening. “Isn’t that—”I clamp my hand over his mouth immediately. My pulse spikes. “Don’t,” I hiss under my breath.He freezes. I slowly remove my hand, scanning again. Silence settles heavy between us.I watch as she gets into the car with him. Something in my chest tightens so sharply it almost hurts.“Was this why you hurriedly left inside?” Stefan asks.I don’t answer immediately. My eyes stay fixed ahead.Then I turn my gaze toward him.“Yes,” he adds, before I can even speak, “I even had to pay for our food. That’s something I didn’t plan for.”I narrow my eyes. “So you’re more bothered about money

    (Rayner)“I’m leaving the office now and I don’t know if I’ll be returning,” I say into the air, knowing fully well she can hear me from where she’s seated.“Huh? I thought—”“You can choose to follow me out now or remain here,” I add, cutting her off as I stride toward the door.I don’t wait for h

    (Amara)Gosh, Amara. Stop thinking about last night.I tighten my grip on my bag as I step through the sliding glass doors of the company entrance. The cool morning air follows me in briefly before the doors shut behind me.I stop in front of the biometric clock mounted halfway through the lobby. T

    (Rayner)“Yes, Grandpa. The art collection will definitely be ready before your birthday. I can assure you that.”I can already imagine the proud look on his face through the phone. With him, it is never just about business. It’s legacy. Expectation.And somehow, he always gets me.Before he can st

    (Rayner)What’s this?My mind reels the moment I see her standing there.Memories rush in without permission. The mall. The way she walked away angrily, not giving me the chance to speak. The way I went back to the hotel only to realize she had already checked out. The weeks after that, searching f
