“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

    (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

    (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

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 137 Thirty five days

    (Rayner)Minutes pass. Then days. Then weeks.And somehow, just like that, it has already been thirty-five days.Thirty-five days since Amara left.Thirty-five days since she returned home.Thirty-five days since—A knock lands against my office door, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Come in.”The door opens immediately and Stefan steps inside with hurried movements, an iPad clutched tightly against his chest.“Sir,” he says quickly, placing it on my desk. “Here’s your meeting schedule you asked to see.”I stare at him for a moment before exhaling softly and leaning back into my chair.“Thanks.”The screen glows beneath my fingers as I scroll through the list absentmindedly. Meetings. Investors. Contracts. Numbers.None of it has felt important lately.A silence settles between us before I finally look up at him.“It’s been a month since you started working as my P.A, right?”Stefan blinks before nodding quickly.“Yes, sir.” A nervous chuckle slips out of him. “It’s all thanks to you t

    (Amara)ONE MONTH LATERA 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 knowingly. “I know exactly how important it is. Everyone feels like this when they’re given their first real project to prove themselves.”He pauses.Something softer settles into his expression.“But you shouldn’t let work consume you completely.” His brows furrow slightly. “You even left the house without having breakfast again.”I still.The words hit harder than they should.Because he’s right.For the past month, my life has become nothing but work. Endless files. Late nights. Cold coffee. Head

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 135 A quiet return

    (Maya)Knowing I’m here with Amara is one thing.But watching this woman stand there and challenge Amara the second she returns home is another entirely.My eyes remain fixed on her face while she speaks. That same face flashes through my mind again. The hospital. That night. The woman who kept trying to stop Amara from getting close to her family. From even seeing Eleanor.It’s her.Grace.A quiet scoff leaves my lips as realization settles deeper inside me. Every rude comment. Every sharp look. Every attempt to belittle Amara.She doesn’t want her here.My eyes narrow slightly.Then her voice slices through the room again.“Will you be able to take responsibility if anything happens because of her?”The words hang heavily in the air.I almost laugh.What a clever way to try to get me thrown out.Unfortunately for her, I’m not that easy to remove.Before Amara can respond, I step forward and gently grab her wrist.She pauses immediately and turns toward me.I shake my head softly.“N

    (Rayner)“Here’s Amara’s file and the new staff’s file you asked for?”Olivia’s voice snaps me out of my thoughts. I take the folders from her quickly, almost too quickly. I had asked for the files of every new employee that’s employed this month because I couldn’t bring myself to say the name out

    (Rayner)The door clicks shut behind her.I lift my gaze slowly, exhaling as I lean back into my seat. Her voice won’t stop replaying in my head.Happy new month, Sir Rayner.She had expected a reply. I saw it in the way she hesitated, but I gave her nothing.It’s been difficult since that night. S

    (Amara)“Happy new month, Sir Rayner.” A soft smile curls on my lips. “Here’s the document from the project department you requested.”“Leave it there.”He doesn’t spare me a glance. His eyes remain fixed on the document in front of him, brows slightly drawn like he is dissecting numbers that deman

    (Amara)I step outside the hotel toward our car, freshly returned by the mechanic. Moments later, Rayner arrives, unlocking the door as I slide into the passenger seat.The drive back is quiet.Too quiet.My mind keeps replaying that moment in the hotel room — the way we both jumped when our eyes m
