Contract With The Age Gap Billionaire Chapter 47 The price of Truth
The atmosphere was heavy with oppressive silence. Nathan was standing a few feet away from Anita, his jaw clinched such that it might cut glass, and his fists clenched at his sides. Anita couldn't quite identify it, but there was something deeper in his gaze despite the worry. She could feel his eyes pressing down on her, but she was unable to look him in the eye. She couldn't pretend everything was fine while yet looking him in the eye. Eleanor's insinuations lingered in the void between her words, which hovered in the air like a poisonous fog.Nathan responded in a low, nearly growling voice, "You heard her." She is attempting to ruin us. attempting to cause you to mistrust us and me. Drying up, Anita swallowed hard. She pulled the blanket firmly over herself, her hands shaking. She had put a lot of effort into keeping her history secret and hidden in the back of her mind. Now, though, it seemed to be coming apart, as if the barriers she had built with such care were star

Nathan's grasp tightened on the phone as the tension in the air became unbearable. His hands were white, and the flurry of ideas racing through his head cast a shadow over his face. He was radiating a heat that Anita could feel, but it was not a comforting heat. This was not the heat that denoted a man at the edge, a man who was on the brink of something beyond his control."What is his desire?" Anita's words trembled as they left her lips, and her voice was hardly audible above a whisper. Nathan had never looked so... conflicted in her eyes. The billionaire she had married and who was meant to be in charge of everything suddenly appeared to be a guy gazing into a void. "I'm not sure," Nathan said in a tight voice that was brimming with frustration. However, I suspect it's more than a straightforward discussion. With him, things are never that easy.Anita's pulse pounded as she gulped hard. Everything was shadowed by the name Gregor Bennett, which hung in the air like a blac

As Harry entered the conference, anxiety began to rise in the room. For a moment, everything seemed to pause as his gaze fell on Nathan. Anita felt her heart pounding and the weight of the moment crushing down on her chest.Nathan's face changed, becoming cautious rather than icy, with a glimmer of doubt visible in his eyes. He tightened his hold on her hand as if to ground himself, as if something more delicate than his intentions had been jeopardised by Harry's unexpected entrance.The night's events flashed through Anita's memory, causing her heart to speed. Her secrets and past are all entangled in this man's web. He was now standing a few steps away, his presence hovering over everything like a shadow. “Well, well,” Harry remarked in a silky, sarcastic voice. "Nathan, it has been a long time."Slowly, Nathan got to his feet, his jaw clinched as he confronted his nephew, his business adversary, and the destruction of his family. "Harry, what do you want?" Nathan's voice w

As if the world itself were holding its breath, the room was eerily quiet. While Nathan's form dwindled farther into the hallway's shadows, Anita's heart pounded in her chest and her pulse pounded in her ears. He had just done something that she was unable to comprehend. The papers were signed by him. Her entire world collapsed as she stood in the aftermath of his decision to prioritise his empire before her.Something inside her gnawed at her, a cold, horrible realisation. For this, for Nathan, for their shaky relationship, for the hope of a life far from the mayhem, she had worked so hard. Now, though, everything appeared to be lost.A final insult had been Harry's arrogant smile, which showed his enjoyment as he watched the incident with a casual lean against the wall. However, his arrogance just made Anita's rage grow more intense and resentful."Harry, do you feel proud of yourself now?" With a wobbly but venomous voice, Anita spat. "Isn't this what you've always desired

Like a warning bell, the shattering sound reverberated throughout the enormous halls. As they hurried towards the disturbance, Nathan's hold on Anita's wrist became more firm. The tension coiling in Anita's gut like a snake poised to strike made her heart race.The sight below chilled her when they arrived at the grand staircase. Anita initially didn't recognise the man who was being restrained by security personnel, but Harry stood in the centre of the room with a sly grin. Then realisation struck her like a kick to the stomach. Once a faithful executive of Grant Enterprises, Ronald Carter was now yelling bloody murder."Nathan, you sold us out!" Ronald screamed as he fought the guards. There was betrayal and desperation in his voice. "You gave the wolves everything! Are you even aware of your actions? Anita sensed the strain in Nathan's hand, but his face was still unreadable. Despite his best efforts to remain calm, Ronald's remarks unsettled him. "What on earth are you

Anita tried to balance herself by holding onto the marble counter's edges, her knuckles white. She felt as though the night was suffocating her. She had seen the reluctance in Nathan's eyes before he took the action he felt was required, and she had witnessed him sign those documents. But for whom is it necessary? For his empire? For his own pride? Not for her, of course.There was a stinging type of betrayal that stung her tongue and made her chest hurt. For a split second, she had allowed herself to think Nathan might pick her. He would battle for them in spite of the contract, the power struggles, and the complex web of emotions. However, he hadn't. He had picked his companion. The idea raged like a flame inside her.He was standing stiffly beside the fireplace, his face in deep shade, when she turned to face him. He had one hand squeezing the bridge of his nose and his head down slightly. She didn't feel sorry for him, even though he appeared to be a man about to pass

The cool evening wind brushed Anita's skin as she stood at the big window, staring out into the expansive estate grounds with an unfocused gaze. She sensed the tension in the air and heard the gentle rustle of the leaves, but it didn't matter. Now everything seemed so far away. One question that she was unable to avoid filled her thoughts. Had Nathan really choose her, or had he just been a pawn in a game that was much bigger than them both?In a flashback, she recalled the events of the previous few hours, including Nathan's icy, cunning behaviour in the boardroom and his steely resolve in responding to Sebastian Blackwood's ultimatum. Without hesitation, he had signed the documents, revealing his confidence, the one thing Anita had tried so hard to keep safe. The crack between them was deeper than she had thought, and she could feel it in every part of her body now."I didn't expect you to be here," he said, his voice low but thick with unsaid words, as the study door creaked

The hallway's air felt heavy with tension, the kind that suffocates any space for escape by pressing against your chest. The men of Sebastian Blackwood stood like statues, observing Nathan's every action with icy, analytical eyes. Anita's stomach ached with the weight of the moment, and every second seemed to drag on forever.However, the man in front of her was what made her heart race, not the fear of the firearms. Nathan. Their gazes briefly connected, and Anita saw a glimpse of something flickering behind the barriers he had so meticulously built around himself. Fear. Not for himself, though. For her.Eleanor's words cut through the tense silence, making her breath catch."What’s going on, Nathan?" Eleanor's eyes flashed with contempt as she stared at Anita, her tone cold. "You’ve gotten yourself mixed up in a whole new mess, haven’t you?" Anita was unable to turn away. She was always tense around Eleanor for some reason. The woman's angular features and icy, cunning m

As Anita's remarks reverberated across the room, silence descended once more, this time more profoundly. It's time to invite those they never thought to invite. It's time to reverse the situation. At first, Nathan remained silent. He looked her, truly studied her, and his eyes narrowed, calculating. He was constantly aware of Anita's intelligence and fortitude. However, this? This was a very different matter. Instead of cowering in the shadows behind him, she was stepping into her own and daring to confront the machine that had moulded their world. "Who are they?" With care in his voice, Gregor asked in a low murmur. "We need details if we're going to take action. Right now.Anita averted her gaze from both of them and looked up at the glistening skyline. In addition to her face, the mirror in the glass depicted the woman she had grown into, one who had withstood manipulation, treachery, and a web of power struggles that would have destroyed anybody else. She whirled aro

The air was packed with unspoken words as they locked the doors of Nathan's private office. The slight bustle of the metropolis beyond the glass walls felt distant, replaced by an oppressive silence that hung between them. Nathan stood at the far end of the room, his back to her, hands clasped behind his neck, gazing out into the darkness. His figure was black against the lighted skyline, with the weight of leadership—and everything they had worked for—weighing heavily on him.Anita took a deep breath, feeling the chilly air on her skin as she stepped into the chamber, her shoes' heels clicking quietly on the polished marble floors. Despite the opulence of the setting and the vista, everything about this moment felt off. The tension between them was real, like an invisible thread about to snap. She had never seen him this remote, closed-off.She opened her mouth to speak, but the words died on her lips as Nathan turned around, his face determined. His gaze met hers, his face op

With the large estate in front of them softly lit by the moonlight, Nathan and Anita stood at the mansion's threshold during a tense night. Their brains were racing from the weight of what had just happened at the family meeting, and the air was heavy with unsaid words. After Nathan's audacious statement, the family-filled room had quieted down, but the situation was far from done. Now, as the night drew on, the uncertainty of what was ahead hung heavy."Do you think they’ll accept it?" Anita asked in a low voice that could hardly be heard above the gentle sound of leaves rustling in the breeze. She wasn't discussing the family. She wanted to know about the future Nathan had planned for them. the notion of restoring the family, dismantling Eleanor's poisonous authority, and forging something more resilient out of the ruins. It seemed like a huge undertaking that would call for more than simply assurances and words.As Nathan gazed off into the distance, his eyes darkened and h

After Eleanor left, the air had a strange feel to it, full with an almost tangible energy that Anita found difficult to comprehend. The family's long-standing barriers to control had crumbled, and the balance of power was changing in the silence that followed her departure. Everyone was trapped in the aftermath of what had just happened, and nobody appeared to move right away.For a few while, Anita remained motionless, her fingers still clasped together with Nathan's. Though it wasn't as strong as it once was, she could still feel the heat of his touch. She felt more confident since he now had a strength and a resolve that she had not seen before. She came to the realisation that this win was only the beginning, though, when the dust settled. There was still so much to discover. Nathan responded, "She’s gone," in a cool but slightly ferocious tone. "But that doesn’t mean this is over."Slowly, Anita nodded, her mind racing. There was still so much to accomplish, more to reve

NoAfter Gregor entered the room, the stillness felt oppressive. Eleanor, suddenly exposed, stood trembling, her poise broken. Years of manipulation, deception, and control had finally caught up with her, and she was at a loss for words.Anita froze, her heart pounding. For so long, she had dreamed of the day she would be able to reveal Eleanor for the monster she was. Now that it had arrived, however, the air felt oppressive and heavy, as though the entire planet was holding its breath in anticipation of the last blow.Eleanor's gaze shifted from Nathan to Anita and back to Gregor. Her eyes suddenly had a raw, frantic quality that had not been there before. The strong matriarch who had always had everyone enamoured with her was no longer her. For the first time, she felt defenceless as a woman standing in the ruins of her own empire. Eleanor remarked, her voice trembling but still tinged with indignation, "You're making a terrible mistake." "You believe that a few words can d

As Anita and Nathan were ready to face Eleanor, the sun was just beginning to peep over the horizon, creating lengthy shadows over the expansive estate. Once a representation of money and power, the home now felt like a prison—a chilly, inhospitable testament to all that had been done in the name of dishonesty and control. Anita gazed out over the great expanse of the estate as she stood by their bedroom's large windows, her hand against the cool glass. The weight of what was ahead weighed heavily on her. Eleanor was unaware of what was going to happen to her. Anita was prepared to finally put an end to all that had transpired, including the manipulation and falsehoods.Behind her, Nathan was a solid and comforting presence. As she gazed out at the world moulded by those who had long kept her in the dark, his gaze never left her. Though it was obvious he was standing his ground, he asked softly, "You’re sure about this?" in a worried tone. "This is going to be… brutal." With

Thick and oppressive, the words hung in the air like smoke. Anita gazed at Nathan, her thoughts rushing as though everything had stopped. Each beat of her heart was louder than the last, and it slammed in her chest with misery. She parted her lips, but nothing came out. She wasn't sure if the magnitude of what Nathan had just spoken could be processed by her body. Her voice was scarcely heard as she muttered, "Eleanor... is my mother?" With the weight of his words bearing down on him, Nathan's eyes locked with hers. With regret in his eyes, he nodded slowly. "Anita, I didn't want to tell you this. You deserve to know, but I didn't want you to bear that weight. Everything she did was done to keep you under control. to maintain your order. Anita retreated a step, her legs shaky, as though the earth had been torn from under her. However—how? Why was I not informed?Nathan's voice was thick with the realisation of the reality he had discovered during the last few days as he

As Anita and Gregor raced through the city, the silver SUV buzzing beneath them like a coiled beast ready to strike, the outside world was soaked in darkness. With every bump on the road, the cold metal of the flash drive dug into Anita's palm as her fingers gripped it. Though her thoughts were vivid, the city lights were blurry beyond the window. She had always thought of herself as only a pawn in someone else's game, but today she was taking the board. Like a guy who had nothing left to lose, Gregor drove. "First, we'll visit the media division of Walker Holdings," he stated. "Your grandfather used to keep digital backups on the servers there in a safe place.

The sirens of the ambulance blared into the darkness, yet the interior was eerily quiet. The echo of Nathan's blood was still fresh on Anita's skin as she sat rigidly next to his stretcher, her hands locked in her lap. He had whispered, "Always," and had not spoken since. He was alive, nevertheless. For now, that was enough. She watched the rise and fall of each heart as she gazed at the monitor. Her voice was raw from all of the screams she had suppressed, and her chest ached from holding back tears. Her voice was haunted by Eleanor's. "Every path ends at you." "Look for the things your father left behind." The question that had been ingrained in her was: What was Gregor concealing in that music box?Anita glanced at her phone. Two calls from Gregor himself and a dozen from Patricia were missed. She disregarded them. She needed time to ponder just now. to take a breath. to get ready for the storm that she sensed was building all around her. A group of top-tier medical
