(Amara)

“I… I can’t do this.”

The words barely make it out before I turn and walk away. No, not walk. I rush. My steps quicken until I am almost running down the hallway.

“Amara!” Felix calls after me.

I don’t look back.

My hand is still clamped over my mouth as if I am trying to physically hold in the weakness that almost consumed me. My heart pounds so hard it feels like it is chasing me.

I almost let him kiss me.

The realization hits again and I shake my head sharply, as if the motion could

    (Amara)“I don’t know what to do now.”The words finally leave my mouth as I begin pacing the room restlessly. My fingers drag hard through my hair, my chest tightening with every passing second.“What if he—”I stop abruptly.My words die instantly in my throat as my eyes snap toward Kelvin.He’s still standing there.My heartbeat skips.His gaze shifts everywhere except me and I freeze completely. Why is he still here? How am I supposed to continue talking about my family with him standing there listening?Then suddenly, his eyes lift.Straight to me.I startle slightly.“What’s wrong, Amara?” he asks, sounding almost confused by the look on my face. “Is anything the matter?”For a second, I can only stare at him.Then I quickly snap out of it, forcing myself to breathe as I rake my fingers through my hair again.“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just…”My voice trails off.I look back up at him and find his eyes still fixed on me. Searching. Watching too carefully.Before I can think of what

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 126 More than me

    (Maya)I’m lost in my own world, my mind replaying every single moment from last night.The hospital.Amara.The Roosevelts.The way the air shifted the second she stood before them.A single thought forms: She’s… She’s a Roosevelt.Even now, the thought still doesn’t feel real. It keeps circling through my head like a broken record, louder and louder until I can barely hear anything else.“You’ll end up making our department issue more money for the next purchase.”The voice slices through my thoughts so suddenly that I jerk hard.Hot coffee slips from my hand.“Ah—”The cup tips over, brown liquid splashing across the table. Some of it lands on my skin and the sting burns instantly.Before I can react properly, someone rushes toward me.“Goodness, are you alright?” Kelvin grabs my wrist carefully, his expression tightening. “I didn’t mean to startle you.”His voice comes out fast, sharp with panic.I look up at him.His eyes stay fixed on my hand, concern flashing across his face so

    (Rayner)“That’s what I was trying to talk to you about then.”Ruben’s voice echoes through the phone, each word hitting heavier than the last.“It was strange because for someone who was supposedly in Switzerland, I couldn't find her in person. So I wanted to tell you that when you asked for a picture of her. It was all a lie.” He pauses briefly. “The Switzerland story was fake. Amara Roosevelt was never actually here.”The last sentence lodges deep inside my chest.Amara Roosevelt was never in Switzerland.My breath catches sharply. My fingers slowly tighten around my phone as the words replay again and again inside my head, louder each time.Amara Roosevelt was never in Switzerland.“Rayner?” Ruben calls from the other side. “Rayner, are you there?”But I can’t answer.My throat locks completely.I lower the phone from my ear and end the call without another word.Silence crashes into the office.My jaw clenches hard as I stare blankly ahead, my thoughts spiraling faster than I can

    (Amara)My hand drops to my side.Ignoring Maya’s stare, I grab my car keys and rush out of the office, Nathan’s voice replaying over and over in my head.“She came back looking sad and immediately collapsed to the floor.”My chest tightens painfully.I keep moving fast, my thoughts spinning wildly as I stab the elevator button repeatedly.Busy.“Shit.”The curse leaves under my breath as I rake a hand through my hair. My breathing grows uneven. Then my eyes snap toward the staircase door.I don’t hesitate.I shove it open and start running down the stairs.My footsteps echo loudly around me.It’s all my fault.The thought slams into me harder with every step.I spoke harshly to her.I pushed her away.And now she’s in the hospital.The glass doors slide open once I reach the ground floor, and I rush outside. Cool air brushes against my skin, but it does nothing to calm the panic clawing through me.I press the unlock button before I even reach the car.The moment I slide into the dri

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 123 When the phone rang

    (Amara)I scoff the moment her words land.“To your rightful place. As Amara Roosevelt.”My jaw tightens instantly. My fingers curl hard around the envelope until the edges crumple slightly beneath my grip.“So that’s why you tried to threaten me?” My voice comes out sharp, tight with anger.She frowns immediately. “Threaten you?”“Yes.” I lift the envelope between us coldly. “Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. Didn’t you place this envelope on my desk this morning? That’s why you’re here today, isn’t it?”Her expression shifts.Confusion.Then something else.She takes the envelope carefully from my hand and opens it. Her eyes scan through the paper, and suddenly her entire face changes.Fear.Or maybe shock.I can’t even tell anymore.Her gaze snaps back to me sharply.“What’s this?” she asks quietly. “Who sent this?”A dry laugh escapes me.“You’re seriously asking me that?” I shake my head slowly. “Who else would pull a stunt like this? You think this is enough

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 122 Wrong timing

    (Amara)I step out of the office slowly, my feet heavier than before.Everything that just happened keeps replaying in my head.Stella’s accusations.The hatred in her eyes.The way she had raised her hand at me without hesitation.And Rayner…The way he had stopped her.I shut my eyes briefly and inhale deeply, trying to steady the mess building inside me. When I open them again, the long hallway stretches before me endlessly, cold and quiet.Then something presses against my palm.I pause.My fingers slowly uncurl and my gaze drops to the brown envelope still clutched tightly in my hand.The envelope.My mind flashes back immediately.The CCTV room.The operator’s voice.“Here’s the video, ma’am.”A slow breath leaves me.I should go back.I should at least find out who sent this to me.Without giving myself time to think twice, I turn around and begin walking back toward the CCTV department.My heartbeat grows heavier with every step.A few moments later, I push open the operating

    (Rayner)The tension in the room thickens as the door clicks shut behind us.For a moment, neither of us speaks.“I’ll take the couch,” I say finally, clearing my throat. “You can sleep on the bed.”“Yeah.” She nods and walks over to sit on the mattress.I drop my coat on the chair and head straigh

    (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

    (Amara)I catch him staring at me several times as I drive.Out of the corner of my eye, I see it. That steady gaze.Even I’m still shocked that I offered to drive him home.What were you thinking, Amara?I almost grin at myself, but I keep my expression calm. He doesn’t need to see the chaos in my
