(Amara)

ONE MONTH LATER

A knock lands softly on my office door and I lift my gaze immediately.

Nathan stands there.

The moment our eyes meet, a smile spreads across his face as he walks inside.

“You’ve been working too hard, Amara.” He shuts the door behind him. “Why not give yourself a little break?”

A tired sigh leaves me as I gather the scattered files across my desk.

“I have to finish this presentation,” I mutter. “You know how important this project is to me.”

“Yes,” he drags the word know

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 143 I was used

    (Rayner)I push through the entrance door of the house with Stefan right behind me.His voice keeps following after me, still talking about the dinner, still trying to ask questions, but I barely hear any of it. My mind is too loud already.I keep walking deeper into the house.Then my steps slow.And stop.My mother sits in the living room like she owns the silence filling the place.“Ray…”Beside me, Stefan goes stiff too. His voice dies immediately after noticing her.I shut my eyes briefly and inhale slowly before turning toward him.“You should leave now.”“But Rayner—”The look I give him makes him stop.Stefan knows.He knows exactly what kind of relationship exists between my mother and me. He knows how conversations with her usually end. I can see the hesitation burning inside his eyes, the conflict, the unwillingness to leave me alone with her.But after a few seconds, he finally exhales.Then nods.He bows slightly toward my mother before heading for the door.The moment it

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 142 Something between them

    (Maya)My phone beeps.A message."Why didn’t you tell me you were bringing Amara and Nathan to the place?"A soft scoff leaves me as I stare at Kelvin’s message glowing against the screen.Why do I need to tell him?I flip the phone over onto my lap, screen facing down, but barely two seconds pass before it vibrates again."You’re not going to say anything? Was that why you asked to know what Rayner was up to?"A smirk slowly forms on my lips.My mind drifts back to.“I’m going to bring him along with me. You just have to get the others there first.”I had overheard Rayner saying it in the hallway of the meeting room earlier today. Completely unaware that someone else was listening.So I had Kelvin look into it.And of course, he found out.A surprise dinner for Stefan.And what better way to make things more interesting than having Amara there too?If she gets to see the way Rayner treats his current P.A, then—My lips slowly curl into a smile.The thought alone is enough.I think b

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 141 Exposed

    (Amara)Rita’s questions keep coming one after another, each one digging deeper beneath my skin until I can barely sit still anymore.Not because of what she’s asking.But because every second feels dangerously close to exposure.To the truth.To my real identity.And right now, I can’t afford that.Not with Rayner sitting here.If Rayner hears the truth like this, then I’m sure he’s not going to like it.He’s going to think, once again, that I lied to him.That even after he asked me about my identity, I still hid the truth from him.And I can’t let him think of me that way.He still doesn’t understand everything yet. None of them do. So this isn’t the right time for any of this to come out.I have to say something. Anything.Because Rita’s only asking these questions because she doesn’t know anything yet. I still haven’t revealed who I really am to any of them.I squeeze my eyes shut when Rita starts talking about being worried I’ll get hurt. My chest tightens painfully and I inhale

    (Rayner)“I’ve told you already, haven’t I? I’m okay with it.”I keep my eyes on the road as I say it, one hand resting lazily against the steering wheel while the other taps lightly beside me.Beside me, Stefan exhales heavily.“But I’m not okay with it.”I laugh softly at the frustration in his voice.“There’s nothing you can do about it now. I’m already driving.”His face twists again, still unable to recover from the shock of seeing me behind the wheel instead of seated quietly in the back while Hugo drove.For the past month, that had become normal.Me in the back seat.Him beside me.Silence.Work.Schedules.Meetings.Routine.Now I’m the one driving and Stefan looks like the world is ending because of it.Another sigh leaves him.“But—“ he pauses before adding, “this still doesn’t make sense.”“Let it go, Stefan.”I cut him off gently before he can start another lecture.“It’s been a long time since I drove myself anywhere. Since hiring Hugo, I’ve done nothing except relax in

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 139 Not again

    (Amara)My fingers tighten around each other as I pace around my office.Back and forth.Back and forth.Worried. Tensed.The moment my office door opens and Maya steps in, I spin around immediately.“Maya…”She walks straight to me and reaches for my hand.“Maya, he’s here. Rayner’s here. He saw me.” My words tumble out too quickly. “He saw me.”“Relax, Amara. You need to calm down.”“Relax?” I pull my hands away from hers and stare at her in disbelief. “How can I relax?”I drag a hand through my hair.“How can I relax when…”My words suddenly die off as another thought crashes into my head.I turn back to face her fully, eyes widening.“What if he starts asking questions?” I whisper. “What if he tries to find out how I’m here? Why I’m here? Or what I’m even doing here?”A shaky breath leaves me.“I’m worried, Maya. He might end up finding out that I lied again. That I…”“And why are you even bothered about that?”Her question slices through my panic so sharply that I go still.“You’

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 138 Under pressure

    (Rayner)She pulls herself away from my arms immediately.The warmth leaves me too fast.My hands loosen around her waist as she steadies herself properly on her feet. For one second, my fingers almost tighten again instinctively, pulling her back before she fully slips away from me.But I stop myself.“My apologies,” she says quickly, avoiding my eyes at first. “I didn’t see you coming.”I don’t answer immediately.I just stand there staring at her.God.She looks different.Or maybe I’m the one seeing her differently now.My eyes drift over her face slowly. Her lips. Her soft skin. The brightness in her eyes. Even the way her lashes flutter lightly under my stare feels painfully familiar.Too familiar.Like my body still remembers her — every detail of her presence after thirty-five days apart.Then a hand nudges my arm.I snap out of it instantly.“Ah… y-yeah.” I clear my throat quickly. “It’s fine. Mistakes happen.”Silence falls.Neither of us looks away.The hallway suddenly fee

    (Amara)“Why didn’t you tell me?”The words leave me the second I step into Rayner’s office.Rita’s and Olivia’s reactions replay in my head. The smiles. The excitement. The congratulations.Nothing like what I expected.Rayner doesn’t answer.He just stands there, his back to me, staring out the w

    (Rayner)I sit in my office, drumming my pen against the desk.Once.Twice.Again.She’s not here yet.My gaze flicks to the clock.Why is she late?A thought crosses my mind.What if she’s already here… and just hasn’t come in yet?I push up from my chair immediately and step out.Her desk comes i

    (Amara)My eyes dart to them—and I still.“Ray… Rayner?”His name slips from my lips before I can stop it.He stands right there, watching. Brows drawn, confusion and something sharper flickering in his eyes.Michael’s grip loosens slowly from my hand as they walk closer, closing the space between

    (Rayner)A scoff slips out of me as her words keep replaying in my mind. She doesn’t know anything, yet she’s already coming for me. Hesitating? Seriously?“What makes you think you’d do any better, huh?” I ask, folding my arms.No answer.I huff out a quiet laugh. “See? You can’t even defend your
