(Amara)

“Hold on, I’m coming.”

My voice comes out sharper than I intend as I drop the kitchen towel and head for the door. The bell rings again, impatient this time.

Who could be here now?

I pull the door open—and freeze.

“Maya?”

The word slips out before I can stop it.

She doesn’t answer. She just walks past me, brushing my shoulder like I’m not even there.

I frown, shutting the door behind me. “Aren’t you on a three-day leave?” I follow after her. “So why are you back already? I hope everythi

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 175 Behind the meeting

    (Rayner)“Have Nathan know that we won’t be meeting as planned.”The command I gave Stefan replays in my head as I step hard on the gas, following closely behind Lorenzo’s car.I need to know exactly where they’re going.Exactly where Lorenzo is taking her.“Rayner!”Stefan’s scream rips through the car.He’s been clutching the handle since I started driving, screaming his lungs out every few seconds.But I don’t stop.I just keep driving.I can’t lose them.I won’t.********We stand in front of the tall building, Stefan beside me.“Isn’t this…”His voice trails off as recognition flashes across his face.My eyes narrow.It’s one of our buildings here in Beverly Hills.But what could they be doing here?I need to know.I turn and signal to Stefan.He immediately understands.Go find out.He leaves and returns barely a minute later.“A meeting?”My brows knit together as he explains.“Since when did Lorenzo start working for Eleanor Foods?”The question sits heavily in my chest becaus

    (Amara)We arrive at the venue for the meeting. Lorenzo and I take our seats just as the door opens again and the investor walks in, his secretary and several members of his team following behind him.“Mr. Alfred.” I rise slightly and extend my hand.He takes it with a smile. “Good to see you, Miss Roosevelt.”“You too.” A smile finds my lips.As I pull my hand back, his gaze shifts past me. Recognition immediately flashes across his face.“Lorenzo!”His voice brightens as he steps forward and pulls Lorenzo into a hug.I blink.You can tell instantly that they know each other.He pulls back, keeping a hand on Lorenzo’s shoulder.“Good to see you, man,” he says in Italian, a language I can understand well enough. “What are you doing here?”Lorenzo chuckles.“Here for some work. Besides, how could I leave you here all alone?”They both laugh, looking completely at ease with each other.For a moment, it feels like they’ve forgotten everyone else in the room.Before Lorenzo finally gestur

    (Rayner)“You’re in my room.”Stefan’s voice drifts behind me as I adjust my cufflinks.“Why?” I turn to face him. “Is there something you’re hiding that you don’t want me to see?”The question leaves me, and I watch something flicker across his face before he quickly schools his expression. A scoff follows.“What could I possibly be hiding?”“Right?” I press my lips together. “Then why didn’t you answer my calls?”I start walking toward him, and he instinctively takes a step back.“You didn’t tell me your room number before leaving. You said you had my luggage checked in.” He nods. “So why did I end up in the same room as hers?”I throw the key card at him.He catches it.I lean closer.“Do you know what’s worse?” I seethe. “I walked in there completely unaware and suddenly looked like a fool in front of her.”My fists tighten.Last night flashes through my mind.The way I acted whenever she got close.The way I kept putting distance between us.The way every second in that room felt

    (Amara)A soft groan slips from my lips as I wake.“Argh…”I curl into the bed and squeeze my eyes shut.What the—Then the memories hit.Fast.My entire body stills.My eyes snap to the space beside me.Empty.No Rayner.No one.For a second, my breath catches.Then I sit up slowly, dragging my knees to my chest, a hand running through my tangled hair.His voice echoes in my head.“You’re drunk. You should go to bed.”My stomach twists.No.No, no, no.The memory doesn’t stop there.It keeps coming.Me leaning into him.My fingers brush slowly against my lips.The kiss.The things I said.The things I admitted.Heat rushes to my face.“Oh my God…”I push off the bed abruptly.I start pacing.Back and forth. Back and forth.My breath comes too fast, too shallow.Then another memory crashes in.His hands on me.The way he held me still when I wouldn’t stop moving.I freeze mid-step.Silence swallows me whole.My mind spins so fast I can barely breathe.The images keep coming.The words

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 171 What we become

    (Stefan)The name flashing on my screen catches my attention again as I struggle to steady myself.Rita.I wonder why she’s calling at this hour, but I should probably answer.Excusing myself from Rayner, I stagger away even though I can barely hold myself upright. I make it to the side of the hotel building and slide my finger across the screen.Before I can answer, a hand suddenly grabs my arm and pulls me into a corner.For a moment, my breath catches.Then my eyes land on her.Rita.A small smile curls onto my lips.She’s not just calling.She’s here too?A quiet chuckle escapes me as I wonder whether I’m already imagining things or if she’s actually standing in front of me.Then her voice cuts through my thoughts.“You and sir Rayner’s here? What are you guys doing here?”Her voice is low, almost a whisper.I don’t answer.I just stare.She grabs my arm and shakes me lightly.“Answer me, will you? I saw you both at the club bar. Did you both just come here to party? And…”Her eye

    (Amara)“Didn’t you say you’d be expecting someone?” I let my voice out amidst the loud music blasting in the background.For some reason, I ended up here after following Martha to the special place I’d heard her planning to go. Well, it’s not bad. At least it’s a little time away from everything.Every worry.Every thought.“Yes! Yes!” She nods quickly, her tone high enough to be heard as she looks around the space. “She should be here soon. She texted me a while ago that she was nearby.”“Okay.”The word leaves my mouth. But before it can settle, Martha’s face brightens and she immediately waves her hand.“Here! Over here!”I follow the trail of her wave and my eyes land on her.Rita.Shock stills me.My eyes widen.Rita?She’s here?How?She strides toward us quickly, unaware of my presence. But the moment she gets close enough and our eyes lock, she freezes.“Amara,” Martha begins. “There’s someone I’d like you to—”“Oh!”Rita cuts her off immediately.Her brows shoot up and she p

    (Amara)The moment feels suspended until his voice breaks through it.“Are you okay?”His words are low and close, brushed against the side of my neck. There is a thickness to his voice, something steady and concerned, as if the question leaves him instinctively before he can think better of it.Sl

    (Amara)“What is it, Amara?”Maya’s voice tears through the apartment as I move from room to room. Bedroom. Living room. Balcony.Since yesterday, I’ve said nothing. I haven’t eaten. And now I’m dragging clothes from my box and tossing them into a wide steel container on the balcony, piling fabric

    (Amara)My eyes widen as he approaches, stopping a few feet away from me.“Na… Nathan.” His name slips out before I can stop it.He exhales slowly, hands sliding into his pockets. “What are you doing here?”I stiffen. The question lands wrong. Cold. Almost disgusted.“I asked you something,” he say

    (Amara)“Oh,” she says, running a hand through her hair. “That. I mean the drug you’re talking about.” She moves briskly toward me. “You can’t find it?” she asks, sounding almost unsure of what I mean.I stare at her, stunned.“Didn’t you get me? That’s what I’m looking for,” I say, drawing the wor
