(Rayner)

Shock rips through me as my eyes land on her.

Amara.

Then my gaze shifts.

Straight to Lorenzo.

The smirk on his face tells me everything I need to know.

The bastard isn't even trying to hide it anymore.

Before I can fully process the scene, Amara turns and walks away.

My body reacts before my brain does.

I take a step after her.

Then a hand catches my wrist.

I stop.

Turn.

Lorenzo.

Anger explodes through me immediately.

I yank my arm free.

"Rayner."

His voice is calm.

Too calm.

    (Rayner)A groan tears from my throat as I force my eyes open."Argh..."Pain pounds behind my temples.I press my fingers against them, squeezing my eyes shut."Why does it hurt this much?"My head feels like it's splitting apart."Stefan, get me a coffee, please."Silence.No answer.I frown."Gosh, where did he go?"I throw the sheets aside and start to sit up.Then my gaze shifts.And I freeze.My entire body locks."Ste... Stella?"My heart plummets.She's lying beside me.In my bed.For a second, I stop breathing.My eyes dart wildly around the room.My trousers are on the floor.My shirt is halfway across the room.The blankets are a mess.Panic slams into me.No.No.No.I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to remember.Anything.Something.But my mind is empty.Blank.The harder I try, the worse the pounding becomes.A soft rustle breaks the silence.Stella stirs.Then slowly opens her eyes."You're awake?"I practically jump out of bed."What are you doing here?"My voice comes ou

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 163 The truth I can’t deny

    (Rayner)I watch her talk.The hurt she tries so hard to hide. The frustration burning in her eyes. The way her fingers curl tightly at her sides.And suddenly, I can’t do it anymore.My heart pounds against my ribs.The feelings I've spent months burying crash through me like a dam breaking. Every wall I've built around myself shatters at once.The tightness in my chest.The longing.Everything.Before I can stop myself, my feet move and I close the distance between us, crashing my lips against hers.And the moment they do, everything inside me stills.It’s like the chaos inside me suddenly quiets, the weight I’ve been carrying for so long finally lifting from my chest.My hand stays on her face, holding her gently as I continue kissing her.She doesn’t pull away.Doesn’t stop me.Just… lets me.For a few breathtaking seconds, the world disappears.It's just us.Just her lips on mine.Just the feeling I've been fighting for far too long.Slowly, I pull back.My forehead almost touche

I'll go check up on her."Every muscle in my body tightens.The hell he will.I open my mouth, about to protest when another voice cuts through the tension."You should let Lorenzo go after her."Grandpa.My head snaps toward him."But Grandpa..."He lifts a hand.A simple gesture.One he's barely ever used on me.Yet it immediately silences me.The finality in his eyes hits harder than any order.And just like that, Lorenzo walks away.Toward her.Toward Amara.My jaw locks.My fists cu

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 161 No words came

    (Amara)“You free?”The voice cuts through the quiet of my office.I look up.Lorenzo.A smile immediately pulls at my lips.“Lorenzo, you're here?”“Yeah.” He slips his hands into his pockets. “I figured you'd be rounding up for the day by now, so I thought I'd come by.”I push back from my desk and rise to my feet.“Actually, I was just about to—”“There's somewhere I'd like you to join me.”I pause.“Somewhere?”His expression shifts slightly.Almost hesitant.“Yeah.”A small knot forms in my stomach.***A few minutes later, we're pulling into a resort.The engine dies and Lorenzo steps out first.I’m about to open the car door myself when it suddenly pulls open from the outside.“Let me.”A cheeky smile tugs at my lips.“A resort?” I say, glancing around as I step out.“Yeah.” He closes the car door. “There’s someone I would like you to meet.”“Someone?” I repeat, narrowing my eyes.A laugh slips from me. “Family?”He looks at me and nods once.I pull my hair behind my ear.“Ahh,

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 160 My turn now

    (Rayner)She starts to turn toward me and I react instantly, stepping back and ducking behind a parked car. My heart hits hard against my ribs.“What’s wrong? What are you hiding from?” Stefan’s voice comes from behind me.I don’t answer him. I can’t.I lift my head slightly again, just enough to see.And then I see her.Amara.Stefan follows my line of sight. “Oh!” He points, eyes widening. “Isn’t that—”I clamp my hand over his mouth immediately. My pulse spikes. “Don’t,” I hiss under my breath.He freezes. I slowly remove my hand, scanning again. Silence settles heavy between us.I watch as she gets into the car with him. Something in my chest tightens so sharply it almost hurts.“Was this why you hurriedly left inside?” Stefan asks.I don’t answer immediately. My eyes stay fixed ahead.Then I turn my gaze toward him.“Yes,” he adds, before I can even speak, “I even had to pay for our food. That’s something I didn’t plan for.”I narrow my eyes. “So you’re more bothered about money

    (Amara)We walk through the restaurant doors, and my mother's words immediately drift through my mind."You should both catch up. It's been long, don't you think?"A quiet sigh slips from my lips."Yeah," I murmur to myself.It has been a long time.A dinner wouldn't hurt.We reach our table, and Lorenzo pulls out a chair for me.With a grateful smile, I take my seat."So," he says as he settles across from me, "what would you like to have?"I glance down at the menu, but before I can answer, he speaks again."Would you like me to choose for you?"My eyes lift to his.There’s an anticipation in them. Same one he always had when we were kids.I hold it for a second, pressing my lips to a thin line.Then I nod.“Sure. I’d appreciate that.”His face brightens instantly."Perfect."He scans the menu before calling the waitress over."We'll have the grilled steak with herb potatoes and mushroom sauce. Two portions."The waitress nods politely."We'll have it ready shortly."Once she leaves

    (Amara)I’m lying on my bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling, but I’m not really seeing it. My mind keeps replaying Rayner’s question.“You’ve never been to Switzerland?”The way he looked at me when he said it. Not casual. Not random. Assessing. Like he was waiting for something. Like he already knew so

    (Rayner)I watch her from behind as she walks into the kitchen.I knew she wouldn’t say no.Honestly, I hadn’t expected her to agree either. I only tried my luck. Yet here she is, tying the apron around her waist, moving around my kitchen like she belongs here.And I stand there, pretending my arm
