(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 moment I close my eyes—

I’m back there.

In that meeting.

Amara’s voice.

Steady. Firm.

Defending him.

A bitter scoff slips past my lips as I lean back into the chair, swirling the drink in my glass.

  • 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

    (Helena)“So she’s still present at the company?” I ask, turning sharply to Lydia.“Yes, ma’am,” she replies carefully. “I heard sir Rayner ordered for her to do so.”My fingers curl tightly at my side.“Amara,” I mutter under my breath, the name tasting bitter in my mouth.That girl again.Like a stain that refuses to disappear no matter how hard I try to wipe her away.I narrow my eyes slowly. I need to get her out of my son’s life for good. One way or another.The sound of the door opening cuts through my thoughts.I turn immediately, and the irritation on my face melts at once.“Stella.”A smile spreads across my lips as I move toward her and pull her into a hug.“Helena,” she says softly, hugging me back before slowly pulling away.“How was your trip?” I ask warmly.“It was fine, Helena. Except…” She pauses.My brows lift slightly. “Except what?”A small smile touches her lips. “I missed you.”I laugh softly. “Oh, silly girl. I missed you too.”For a moment, the tension in the ro

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 120 The envelope

    (Amara)I slide into my seat, trying to settle, but the chaos from this morning with Maya keeps replaying in my head.I sigh and rest my head against the chair.I told her I would quit. I said it clearly this time. Her way. No more hesitation.But how do I quit now?Rayner refused to let me go. And Felix… Felix still needs me. The only way I can help him right now is by staying. At least until I find another way out.I push myself upright.One step at a time, Amara. Just get through today.That’s when I see it.A brown envelope sitting neatly on my desk.My brows knit together.An envelope?I glance around instinctively, scanning the office like the answer might be written on the walls. I don’t remember leaving anything here yesterday. I wasn’t expecting anything either.Slowly, I reach for it.My fingers brush against the surface. Smooth. Sealed.A faint frown forms on my lips.“What is this…” I murmur under my breath.I slide a finger under the flap and tear it open.A single white

    (Kelvin)I place the flowers carefully among the others, my fingers lingering for a second longer than necessary. My eyes lift to the glass, locking onto their photo.“Mom… Dad…” My voice comes out as a whisper.My fingers curl slowly at my side.The memories do not ask for permission. They come anyway.Laughter filling the house. My mother’s voice calling from the kitchen. My father pretending to complain while stealing food before it was ready. Evenings that felt too short because we were happy.That night.They had come home smiling. Proud. Excited. Talking over each other about topping the couple’s program.Everything was perfect.Until it wasn’t.My chest tightens. My fist clenches as their faces flash through my mind. Then his voice follows, just like it always does.“I’m sorry, son… we won’t be able to watch you grow.”My breath turns hot, uneven.“I promise you,” I whisper, my voice breaking despite me trying to hold it steady. “I will avenge your death.”Movement beside me pu

    (Amara)“Hold on, I’m coming.”My voice comes out sharper than I intend as I drop the kitchen towel and head for the door. The bell rings again, impatient this time.Who could be here now?I pull the door open—and freeze.“Maya?”The word slips out before I can stop it.She doesn’t answer. She just walks past me, brushing my shoulder like I’m not even there.I frown, shutting the door behind me. “Aren’t you on a three-day leave?” I follow after her. “So why are you back already? I hope everything’s okay.”She presses her fingers to her temple. “Yes, everything’s fine, Amara. It’s just…”Her voice trails off.I slow down as I approach her, studying her face. Something is off.“Is this about your mom?”She shakes her head slowly.A quiet breath escapes me. At least it’s not that.“Then what?” I step closer, pulling off my apron and tossing it aside. “You were meant to return tomorrow. And if you’re here… who’s with your mom?”“Agatha is there, remember?”“Oh.” I nod. “Right.”“My mom’s

    (Amara)“O.M.G!”My head snaps up.Rita.She’s already staring at me, eyes bright with excitement. “Look who we have here.” She drops into the seat beside me like she’s been waiting for this moment all morning.I force a small smile, even as my mind drifts back to Rayner’s voice from yesterday.Make sure to come to the office today.I shake the thought away, about to respond—“Amara, my goodness, you’re here.”Olivia joins us, sliding her tray onto the table. Her eyes scan my face carefully. “Do you know how worried we’ve been?”She leans in slightly, lowering her voice. “Tell us… what’s really going on?”I pause.“We saw the company doctor go into Sir Rayner’s office,” she continues. “Did something happen?”“Oh please,” Rita cuts in, tapping the table lightly. “Something definitely happened. The way ma’am Helena marched into his office? It was terrifying. I’ve never seen her like that before.”Her gaze sharpens on me.“Did she hurt you?”Her spoon clatters softly against her tray.“W

    (Rayner)I watch Amara walk away.A faint unease settles in my chest as she disappears into the crowd. I hope she’s okay.“Now if you’ll excuse us,” Frednard says to my granddad. “We need to greet some old friends too.”“Ah, yes of course.” My grandpa nods, gesturing politely toward them.As the Ro

    (Amara)I see the way Bernard’s gaze sweeps across them, searching.Then it settles on me.He lifts a hand and points lightly. “Is that her?”Everything stops.My parents’ heads snap toward me. The air thickens. Conversations blur into silence. I can feel my fingers trembling at my sides.“She’s gr

    (Amara)I walk through the hallway, the chandelier lights casting a soft glow over my dress as I step inside.It is Sir Rayner’s grandfather’s eightieth birthday. And of course, I am here because Rayner insisted. Even after I clearly told him I did not want to come.The living room is massive, over

    (Felix)“What were you doing at The Sinclair Group?”My voice cuts through the living room, sharp and controlled. Selina doesn’t even glance at me. She throws her legs over the table, as if I’m background noise.“Come on, Felix,” she says lightly. “It’s not my fault you went ahead and announced you
