“Do you have to return?”

Maya sets the glass of juice down on the table, her voice softer this time, almost careful.

I don’t answer immediately. I just reach for the glass and take a slow sip, letting the coldness settle against the tightness in my chest.

“I mean…” she continues, curling her legs beneath herself on the couch. “You can go back to living the way you used to. We can return to Pittsburgh and start afresh again. Me and you. Just the both of us.”

I lower the glass slowly into

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 209 The empty space

    (Amara)I’m seated on the hospital bed, staring into nothing.The voices around me drift in and out like distant echoes, but none of them truly reach me.It’s as if I’m here…Yet I’m not.My body occupies this room, but my mind doesn’t.“Amara.”Mom calls my name.I hear her.I just can’t bring myself to answer.I don’t even have the strength to lift my head.Everything inside me feels unbearably heavy.Heavy with grief.Heavy with guilt.Heavy with the crushing pain of losing another child.Maybe this is my fate.Maybe I was never meant to become a mother.Otherwise…Why does this keep happening to me?My eyes sting.Five times.I’ve had five chances to hold my own child.Five tiny lives growing inside me.Five little heartbeats that filled me with hope.And every single time…Before I could ever hold them in my arms…I lost them.What kind of cruel fate keeps taking them away from me?A tear slips down my cheek.“I can’t believe Grace would do something like this to Amara.”Maya’s v

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 208 Cornered

    (Stella)I grab my phone from the table, my eyes narrowing at the name flashing across the screen.Bar Man.My stomach drops.Why the hell is he calling me?I already warned him never to call unless I reached out first.So why now?I let out a slow breath.Fine.I’ll hear him out.I swipe to answer and raise the phone to my ear.“You…”“Ma’am… please save me.”His voice comes out low and strained. Every word trembles with panic.My fingers tighten around the phone.“Wha… what are you saying?” I stammer. “Save you from what? How?”“He found me.”My heartbeat stutters.“Who found you?”“The man whose drink I spiked on your orders, ma’am.”His words hit like a punch.“He sent his men after me. They tracked me down.”“What?”My voice comes out as nothing more than a whisper.“Yes.” He drags out the word, breathing heavily. “You have to save me before they catch me. You know what’ll happen if they do.”His voice hardens.“You won’t be safe either.”The threat lands exactly where it’s meant

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 207 The poisoned trust

    (Amara)I’m quietly walking down the stairs when my mother’s words drift back into my mind.“It’s nothing really, dear. Just an old friend who went missing.”She’d said it so casually.Too casually.Now that I think about it… why does it feel like a lie?Not just any lie.One she’d rehearsed long before that moment ever came.“Trust me, Amara. She’s not someone you should be bothering yourself about.”I remember the way she’d held my wrist as she said those words. Her gaze had been steady. Calm.But Father hadn’t looked calm.Not even once.I can still picture the faint irritation on his face, as though he wanted to be anywhere else except standing there listening to her.Was I imagining it?Or was I simply reading too much into everything?A quiet sigh slips from my lips.Maybe I’m overthinking it…I finally reach the bottom of the stairs and head toward the dining room when a familiar voice cuts through my thoughts.“So just because you’re not going to the office today, you’ve decid

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 206 The name Valerie

    (Amara)“We’ll call it a wrap for today.”The director’s voice rings through the room. Around me, everyone nods and begins packing up their equipment.Mina rushes over, a flicker of worry on her face.“What happened? I thought there was supposed to be a part where the model showcases our product by actually using it.”“There was,” she replied. “But there’s been a slight delay.”“Delay?”“The vehicle transporting the products broke down on the road. It won’t make it here today, so we’ll have to reschedule that part of the shoot.”“I see.”A quiet sigh escapes me.“Then you and your team can fix another date and let everyone know.”“Yes, ma’am.” She nods.I turn to Martha.“Let’s go. We need to head to the hospital. Maya’s being discharged today.”For the briefest second, something flashes across her face.Worry.No… maybe concern.Before I can make sense of it, it’s gone. She quickly forces a small smile and nods.“Sure. Let’s go.”I’ve barely taken two steps when someone calls my name

    (Rayner)“Mom!”My voice tears through the room as I stride toward her.She sits there with one leg crossed over the other, calmly sipping tea as though she hadn’t just done something completely unforgivable.I stop right in front of her, glaring down at her.“How could you go around handing out invitations to a wedding I never even consented to?”“You don’t need to consent to a wedding before having one, dear.” She smiles lightly over the rim of her cup. “All you have to do is show up. I’ll handle everything else.”“Mom!”The word rips out of me in a growl. I can actually feel the veins straining against my neck.Slowly, she sets her teacup on the table before lifting her gaze to mine.“Rayner.” She sighs. “You should be grateful you have a mother who’s willing to go through all this just to keep her family together. Do you think every mother would?”“I’d rather you be one of those mothers who minds her own business instead of forcing your decisions on me.”She rises to her feet.“My

    (Amara)“I’m here to personally give you the invite to Rayner and Stella’s wedding.”Helena’s voice keeps replaying in my head as I sit alone in my office.Could my mother really be right this time?Then my mother’s voice follows.“I’m sorry, Amara, but you shouldn’t believe Rayner. There’s nothing he can do anymore.”A slow breath leaves my lungs as I rake a hand through my hair. The ache behind my eyes only deepens.“Amara.”Martha’s voice pulls me back to the present.“Is everything alright?”I lift my head.For a second, I’d completely forgotten she was standing in my office.I press my lips into a thin line.“Yes, Martha. Everything’s fine.” I force a small smile. “I was just thinking about the campaign shoot. How far along are we?”“Almost ready.”She places a document on my desk.“These are the scripts for the campaign. I actually came to let you know we’ll be leaving soon. I thought you’d want to be there.”“Of course.”I open the folder.My eyes scan each page carefully, movi

    (Amara)Selina’s voice cuts through the room slowly, uncertain.“A… Amara?”The sound of my name sends a sudden rush of heat climbing up my neck, spreading fast, suffocating. My fingers go numb. The tray slips from my hands before my mind can catch up.Glass crashes against the floor.The sound is

    (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 bedr

    (Amara)The drive back from the clinic had been silent, each of us lost in thoughts we couldn’t share. And now, standing here, the weight of what the doctor had said presses on me.“No.”The word leaves my mouth before I can stop it.I turn to face them. Felix and Selina stand behind me, side by si

    (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
