(Amara)

The new day is almost over.

Meetings. Calls. Meetings. Calls.

That’s all I do now. Repeating the same endless cycle.

I spend the entire day running from one conference room to another until my feet ache and my head pounds. But somehow, the exhaustion still isn’t enough to stop my mind from drifting back to yesterday.

Back to him.

I lean against the headrest of my chair and shut my eyes for one brief second.

Rayner.

His face flashes through my mind instantly. The look in his eyes before

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 143 The connection

    (Amara)The new day is almost over.Meetings. Calls. Meetings. Calls.That’s all I do now. Repeating the same endless cycle.I spend the entire day running from one conference room to another until my feet ache and my head pounds. But somehow, the exhaustion still isn’t enough to stop my mind from drifting back to yesterday.Back to him.I lean against the headrest of my chair and shut my eyes for one brief second.Rayner.His face flashes through my mind instantly. The look in his eyes before he left last night keeps replaying over and over again.Was he hurt?Disappointed?Angry?A frustrated hiss slips past my lips and I shake my head hard.Why do I even care?He’s the one who hurt me first. He made me think he genuinely wanted to help with Felix, only for me to realize he had his own intentions all along.My fingers curl tightly into fists.But then…The anger slowly weakens.My hands loosen again as guilt creeps back into my chest.I should have told him everything back then when

  • 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

    (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’

    (Amara)“Argh!”The sound tears out of me as I clutch the edge of the sink.It’s beginning to feel impossible.Absolutely impossible to live freely in this city without running into them.Because how?How is he suddenly here?Michael… at an auction?A bitter laugh almost escapes me.He never cared

    (Rayner)I sit alone in the dimly lit room, the faint glow from the lamp barely cutting through the darkness.The glass in my hand tilts slightly as I take another sip.The burn is sharp.It drags down my throat and settles heavily in my chest, but it does nothing to quiet my mind.Because the mome

    (Amara)A deep sigh escapes me as I close the door behind me, my fingers lingering on the handle for a second longer than necessary.Rayner’s voice echoes again in my head.“About yesterday…”Heat rushes up my neck instantly.Gosh.I walk quickly to my desk, then stop halfway, my thoughts spiraling

    (Rayner)“Grandpa,” I call, stepping onto the stone path behind the house, where the private golf lawn stretches across the garden.“Rayner,” he says when he notices me. He ends the call in his hand. “You must have heard the news.”A deep sigh escapes me before I can stop it.He pats my shoulder li
