(Amara)

My eyes move from Maya to Rita, then down to the phone in her hand.

The tension builds too fast.

Before I can stop myself, my hand jerks. The bottle tips over.

Water spills.

Straight onto Rita’s phone. Her food.

The sudden rush of it sends a ripple across the table as I shoot to my feet.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry.”

“My phone!” Rita exclaims at the same time, her voice clashing with mine.

Chairs scrape. Hands move everywhere at once. Maya grabs napkins, Olivia reaches for the bottle, some

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 90 Right in front of me

    (Rayner)“What’s taking you so long, man?” I send the text to Ruben, still waiting for the task I gave him last night when I hear the door outside open and Amara steps in.It’s been half the day now and neither she nor I have said anything about yesterday. Not like I expect her to anyway.That’s why I’ve been on Ruben’s neck, asking for the photo. The only way I can confront her boldly.And knowing it’s the last day of the week, my patience wears thin.Does that mean I’ll have to wait the whole weekend… till next week… before I can know the truth?My fingers drum lightly against the desk as I watch through the glass. The way she paces the room.Restless.Distracted.What’s gotten her so worked up?I’m still caught in my thoughts when her voice cuts through.“Hello, sir.”I freeze for a moment.That’s when I realize I’ve already placed a call to her.I didn’t even notice when I did.I clear my throat quickly, covering it up with instructions about the files I asked her to hold earlier

    (Amara)My eyes move from Maya to Rita, then down to the phone in her hand.The tension builds too fast.Before I can stop myself, my hand jerks. The bottle tips over.Water spills.Straight onto Rita’s phone. Her food.The sudden rush of it sends a ripple across the table as I shoot to my feet.“Oh my God, I’m so sorry.”“My phone!” Rita exclaims at the same time, her voice clashing with mine.Chairs scrape. Hands move everywhere at once. Maya grabs napkins, Olivia reaches for the bottle, someone lifts the plate.“I’m really sorry,” I repeat, my voice tighter now. “My hand slipped.”“It’s fine,” Rita says, though she’s already checking her phone.“Yeah, it happens,” Olivia adds lightly. “Don’t feel bad. We were almost done eating anyway, right?”“Right,” their voices echo one by one.I nod quickly, my eyes darting over them, barely seeing anyone.“I’ll just… excuse me.”I don’t wait for a response. I turn and walk away.Fast.Before anyone can stop me.Before anyone can ask questions

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 88 Never my plan

    (Rayner)I stand under the shower, letting the water run down my skin.Cold.Relentless.But it does nothing to quiet my mind.The moment keeps replaying.Over and over again.The way she rushed toward Amara, reaching for her armMy jaw tightens, anger bubbling as her face flashes in my mind again, blending with the same face I’d seen reaching for Amara at the mall in Switzerland.My chest tightens instantly, and before I even realize it, my hand shoots forward and I shut off the shower.Silence fills the bathroom.Heavy.I grab a towel, wrap it around my waist, and step out.I couldn’t say anything to her. I couldn’t even bring myself to say anything to her.Because if she’d lied to me before, then she could still lie again about it.Without any concrete proof about what really happened, then I can’t say anything.I will no longer have to deal with assumptions.I pick up my phone and dial the only person I trust with something like this.Ruben.“Hey man,” his voice comes through, rel

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 87 This will work

    (Isha)It has been a while since Nathan excused himself.And now… even Amara isn’t back.My breath hitches, my thoughts spiraling before I can stop them.Could they be—No.But the image forms anyway, sharp and unwanted.My chest tightens.I rise abruptly. “I need to use the restroom.”“Hmm… is there something interesting going on tonight, or is everyone suddenly best friends with the restroom?” Stella says after me, her voice laced with suspicion.I turn, forcing a cheeky smile that doesn’t reach my eyes. “Relax. I’ll be back.”Then I walk away.The moment I am out of sight, my steps quicken. My heart pounds harder with every second, my mind racing ahead of me.Please don’t let it be what I’m thinking.Where could they even be?I turn the corner leading to the restroom—And freeze.Nathan.He is standing there.Moving toward Amara.Instinct takes over. I slip behind the wall, pressing my back against it, holding my breath. My heart is pounding so loudly in my chest, I’m sure I could

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 86 Breaking the silence

    (Isha)“Why did you have to invite Amara?”Stella’s voice cuts in beside me.I turn to her slowly, a smile already forming on my lips.“Because I’m bored,” I say lightly. “And I need someone to play with.”She frowns. “Play?”My smile deepens.“You’ll see.”Moments later, we pass through the restaurant’s foyer. The one Stella had me book for tonight. Everything is polished, perfect, exactly the kind of place meant for tonight.We are led to our table.I pause.“A table for four?” I ask, my voice laced with mild surprise, like I am only just noticing.The staff hesitates, about to speak.I don’t let her.“I thought I requested for it to be changed to a table for six.” My tone hardens instantly. “How could you people not do your job properly?”She stiffens. “I’m sorry, ma’am. We didn’t receive the message on time.”“Then fix it,” I reply sharply. “Get us a table for six.”“I’m sorry, ma’am… we won’t be able to.”My eyes narrow. “Why? Isn’t that what I requested?”She lowers her gaze. “T

  • Betrayed In Love: Redeemed By The Billionaire CEO   Chapter 85 Shifting gazes

    (Amara)The air feels tight around me, like it’s pressing into my lungs.I barely notice the figures approaching. My heart is too loud, too fast.Rayner has seen us.Finally.A truth I have been carefully hiding for weeks now, exposed in the worst way possible.Maya’s fingers curl around mine, trembling slightly, but I don’t let it shake me. I tighten my grip instead and lift my chin, locking eyes with him.If he knows… then let him know fully.Let him see that nothing changes.I expect something. A question. A reaction.But he says nothing.His gaze moves between Maya and me, slow, measured. Almost like he is trying to piece things together.Or… maybe he hasn’t.A flicker of hope stirs in me.Maybe he doesn’t recognize her. He only saw her once at the mall. It was brief.A small, dangerous excitement creeps in.But just as quickly, it dies.Because this is Rayner.He’s one to notice everything and hardly forgets things.I know that better than anyone because I’ve been working for him
