(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.

Slowly, I pull away from his chest. A flicker of embarrassment washes over me when I realize how tightly I had held on, how easily I had leaned into him. I sigh softly and sweep my hair to the side befo

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 219 The hidden truth

    (Rita)“What are you doing?”The words slip out of my mouth just as I approach Kelvin.He startles and quickly presses something on the keyboard, my eyes landing on the screen.It’s some kind of task management application, rows of assignments and progress bars covering the screen. Nothing unusual. Nothing that should make him react the way he just did.He clears his throat and straightens, a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes spreading across his face.“Weren’t you going to get coffee?” he asks.For a moment, I say nothing.My mind keeps replaying what I’d just seen. The way his face had flushed with fear. The way his fingers had moved quickly across the keyboard, almost desperately, as though there was something he didn’t want me to see.“Rita.”His voice snaps me out of my thoughts.I startle.“Ah, yes.” I force a smile. “I was asking if you wanted me to get coffee for you as well. But you were too engrossed in what you were doing that you didn’t hear me.”“Sorry about that. I

    (Amara)“What’s going on, Amara?” Maya’s voice drifts behind me. “I’ve been trying to talk to you since yesterday, but you’ve just been ignoring me.”I keep walking, my mind flashing through the face I’d seen today.“Amara, what’s it with this marriage with Lorenzo? You don’t even love him. Why did you accept to marry him? You can’t possibly be—”Her words die in her throat as she spins me around.She stares at my face, her brows slowly pulling together as if only now noticing how pale I look.“Amara, you…”But before she can finish her words, I let the name out.“Selina…”She holds my gaze.“I saw Selina today.”Silence.For one beat, we both just stare at each other.Then a sudden, low laugh leaves her.“Wha… what do you mean?”She forcefully shuts her eyes before opening them again.“I mean, how? Where? Where did you see her?”I slowly turn around, taking two steps away as my mind flashes back to the road.The stop at the traffic light.Selina crossing in front of my car.The way s

    (Rayner)“Do you plan on killing yourself by getting drunk?”Stefan’s voice rings beside me as he reaches for the wine bottle in my hand and pulls it away.I let out a bitter scoff.“What can I say?” I sink further into the couch, staring blankly ahead. “I’ve lost at everything, Stefan. I’m a failure. A complete failure.”“No…”“First, I failed to recognize the woman I had only ever truly loved. Then, when I finally realized it, I failed to save her from the marriage that caused her so much pain.”My throat tightens.“And now, I’ve failed to be with her.”I drag a hand down my face, the weight in my chest becoming unbearable.“I’m unable to be with Amara, Stefan. I’m a failure. I keep losing. Every single time I think I’m finally going to get something right, it slips through my hands.”My eyes burn.“And now she’s going to marry Lorenzo.”Just saying his name makes something ugly twist inside me.“To my worst enemy.”“You need to get a hold of yourself.” Stefan crouches beside me, hi

    (Amara)The door to my office bursts open, and I look up to find Rayner standing there.He strides toward me, his pace hurried, his expression tense enough to make my chest tighten.I lean back in my chair, forcing myself to remain calm. “I don’t think there’s any reason for you to be here, Mr. Rayner Sinclair.”A bitter scoff tears through him.“Marriage? Really?”“Why?” I hold his gaze, refusing to let him see how much his presence unsettles me. “Am I not allowed to get married? Last I can remember, I’m free to do whatever I want with my life.”“It’s marriage we’re talking about here, Amara.”“Yes, I know.”“Then why are you agreeing to this?” His voice rises with disbelief. “How can you accept a marriage to him of all people? To Lorenzo?”A humorless smile touches my lips.“Good to know you’re only bothered about whom I’m getting married to and not the fact that I’m getting married at all.”“Amara, you know that’s not what I mean. You know—”I lift my hand, stopping him before he c

    (Stefan)“Why does it feel like everyone’s just staring at us?” Rita asks, bringing her coffee cup close to her nose.“Yeah, it sure looks like it,” I say, darting my eyes around to catch their prying eyes.“Oh jeez!” She exclaims. “This is why I said we should keep our distance at the office. Now they’re already suspecting us.”“I did, Rita. But you don’t expect me to keep my distance from you all the time. We barely even have time for ourselves.”My voice lowers.“Oh, really?” she says sarcastically. “I guess you’ve finally gotten what you want then. Now they’re all gonna keep staring and talking about office romance between us.”“Well, that’s not a bad story either.”“Stefan…” she calls, frustration already filling her voice as a chuckle escapes me.Then I look at her and say, “Maybe it’s just you who keeps thinking about it. Because take a look…” I signal toward the people around us. “We’re just here having coffee. Who would begin thinking something else?”“Then why do they keep s

    (Maya)“Ama… Amara.”I lunge forward just in time to catch her as her knees give out. She slides off the side of the bed, her body going limp against mine before she can hit the floor.“Maya…” Her voice comes out broken. She slowly lifts her tear-filled eyes to me. “How can she do that to me? She made me miscarry my child. I…” Her words catch in her throat. Her gaze darts around the room before settling back on me. “I could never have imagined Grace would do this to me. She killed my child, Maya. She planned it all.”“I knew she was up to no good.” I tighten my jaw, lowering my gaze. “She has never liked you. Never treated you well.”Guilt crashes into my expression.“It’s all my fault. I should never have let you drink that juice.”“No.” Amara shakes her head frantically. “I’m the one to blame.” Her fingers wrap tightly around my arm. “You warned me, Maya. You tried to warn me, but I didn’t listen.” Fresh tears spill down her cheeks. “It’s my fault this happened. It’s my fault.” Her

    (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
