I sit in the boxed room with cushiony walls and sit in the corner, listening to my mother’s insufferable lullabies.

“Shut the fuck up!” I screech at her as he laughs in response to my anger.

I rock myself back and forth in the fetal position and think of what I should do. I know I made a mistake by attacking Julia. I shouldn’t have done that but why did I attack Leo? Did I lose it?

“You saw the love of your life refusing to choose you and the rejection rattled you to your core.” My mother says as she settles into a kneeling position right he across from me.

“He’s going to die.” I whisper in a shaky tone.

“What? You’re still planning to kill him?”

“No. I’ve already done it. The knife was laced with a topical poison - thallium. It was meant for Julia. I had laced it before they arrived. I thought I’d have to use it against Claire but plans changed. Circumstances changed.” I lower my head in disappointment.

“You will spiral if he doesn’t make it. He was what was left of your humanity!”

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 116: Francisco’s POV

    I watch as Julia walks in the door, covered in what looks to be blood.“What happened? Are you hurt?” I rush to her as Dahlia holds our son in the kitchen.“The blood is not mine, darling. It is your ex-lover’s.” She pats my cheek as she grabs a cloth and runs it under cold water and attempts to wipe it away.“What have you done?” I ask nervously.“I have settled the score of what she’s done to others and gave her a taste of her tyranny. Nothing more.” “Julia, we cannot risk your absence in our son’s life.”“I will never be taken from my son. She will not speak if she enjoys the idea of living.” She warns as she turns to my son and watches him laugh in excitement for his mama.“Have you settled that growing need now?” Dahlia asks. “I have. I will no longer be burdened by the idea of that disgusting harlot and she will bear a constant reminder of her crimes.” “You cut her face, didn’t you?” “I carved it from top to bottom on one side.” I listen in horror as Julia confesses to her d

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 116: Claire’s POV

    Leo makes it back just in time for my discharge from the recovery ward. I was excited to share the news with him until I noticed his demeanor. He was lost in thought and that couldn’t be a good thing. Elena must’ve noticed too, as she tries to distract me.“Is everything okay?” I ask carefully as I’m transferred to a wheelchair to be discharged and brought down to the lobby.“Yeah, we’ll talk about this later. Let’s just focus on getting you home.” I nod in agreement though I felt uneasy. He had gone to see Charlotte and he came back somber and pensive. The drive home was silent. Arthur never spoke but Elena, Leo nor I said one word until we reached Leo’s house.“Home sweet home.” Leo says as though those three words were enough to lighten the mood. He assists me inside and I’m surprised to see Jasmine and Nathan are sitting on the couch with wishful balloons.“Hey, when did you guys get here?” They both smile back at me as they answer.“Elena gave us her key so we could congratulate

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 116: Leonardo’s POV

    I don’t know whether to believe Charlotte when she says that Julia attacked her. Julia had been kinds to Claire, appropriate at our initial meeting with Charlotte and seemed concerned when I had been injured. The idea that she was a ruthless and vindictive woman seemed far-fetched. Although I thought the same of Charlotte for a very long time.“You’re saying that my partner Julia is the one who did this to you?” I lie as to protect Claire and our boys.“She did, Leo. She said it was payback for Claire and all the other women I’ve harmed. She warned me to never harm another person or she’d be back. Look at what she did to me.” She looks teary-eyed at me but I still have a hard time believing her as she did a knack for crying on cue. “Charlotte, is this another ploy to destroy one of my relationships?” I ask honestly as I lean forward pressing for her to be honest.“No. I wanted to harm Julia at the restaurant, I can admit that but I’ve been locked in the looney bin with no contact fro

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 115: Charlotte’s POV

    I sit in silence, cuffed to my bed with stinging pain. My finger had been cut off and my face sliced by Leo’s girlfriend. It was pathetic of me to have let my guard down. I knew better than to get too comfortable. I vow to kill her slowly and painfully if the opportunity ever presents itself and it will have nothing to do with Leo. I watch the Chief Commissioner closely. He sits, watching me and looking at my injuries. But I maintain my silence. Maybe this was a form of cruel punishment for every woman I’d harmed for Leo’s attention. It was malicious, there was no doubt about that but maybe it was my fault as much as it was brutal. I shake the idea loose. This was not the time for self-reflection. I’d been attacked brutally - there would be no justification. I distract myself by watching Mason leave the room to make a call. I try to make out who it is that he’s speaking with but I’m unable to hear and with my current handcuff linking me to the bed, I was unable to snoop effectively.

    I watch Claire as she rests in her designated recovery room. Elena had brought food, fed her and rubbed her feet until she passed out. I simply allowed her to be pampered. There was no use in interfering. This was their time.I sit in the recliner next to Claire’s bed in silence as Elena reads a book and wait for Claire to wake up.“Elena, you can go home if you’d like.” I offer although I knew she’d refuse.“No Mr. Leo. I stay with her until she is able to come home, please.”“As you wish.” As I finish my sentence, I can feel my phone vibrating in my suit pocket. I pull it out to see Mason is calling. He wouldn’t have bothered if it wasn’t urgent. He knew that Claire had surgery today. I made everyone aware. I motion to Elena that I will be stepping out of the room for a moment. She nods.“Hey, what’s going on?” I ask in a calm and hushed tone as I make my way to the cafeteria.“I’m sorry I have to bother you but we have a really big problem.” It was important.“What is it?” I ask as

    I’m just entering the office and still on cloud nine after my date with Jasmine last night when I’m given a frantic call from the psychiatric facility. “Hello, this is Chief Commissioner Mason.” “We need help! A patient was attacked during an unauthorized visit. She’s being transported to receive medical attention as we speak.” The lady says quickly as though there were a fire set ablaze. Wait, she doesn’t mean - no she couldn’t. She wasn’t allowed any visitors. “What the patients’ name?” I ask quickly as I motion for an officer to follow me to my office. “Charlotte.” I look at the phone in horror as I process what I’d just heard. “I’ll have officers there soon.” I say as I hang up. “I need you to get a fellow officer and head to the psychiatric facility. There was an attack. I need you interrogated the staff and get the video surveillance. He nods before rushing out of my office. I think to call Leo and Claire but I remember Claire being scheduled for surgery today and didn’t w

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 114: Julia’s POV

    It had been a few days since I met the infamous Charlotte. I had checked in with Claire to make sure they are well and she tells me that my pretend-lover was poisoned. It was unforgivable. That woman had tried to poison me. I had told Francisco and he seemed horrified by my confession.“I do not want you risking your life again. Our little heir needs his mama.” He says sternly.“I intend to see Charlotte only once more. I think it is time that she suffer the same fate she has dealt for the women in Leonardo’s life - like my mon ange, Claire.” I say as I get dressed.“She isn’t worth it.” He argues. “Besides, she is in a mental facility. You cannot reach her.”“My love, how naive. I can reach anyone.” I say as I tuck a finger under his chin. “You told me that she was dead to you. Did you lie to me?”“No. I just do not want to lose you once again.”“And you will not.” I reassure him as I leave the bedroom and nod to Dahlia.“The men you requested are downstairs in the car, waiting for y

    They waited twenty four hours before moving me to a residency room. It looked just like the last with the exception of more surveillance. Was there surveillance in the padded room? Damn it.“This room suites you. It is empty just like your soul.” My mother says as she wanders the small room from wall to wall.“Oh goodie, I get to share it with you.” I roll my eyes as I sit down on the bed. I hear a knock at the door and watch as the nurse enters.“Charlotte, it’s time for breakfast.” I see that she’s pulling carts stacked with food trays as she put one down gently on the desk fastened to the wall in my room. I wait for her to leave before inspecting the tray to find avocado toast, bacon and a boiled egg. “At least the food here is edible.” I scoff as I bring the tray to my bed.“I’m sure you’ll find the food in prison just as delectable.” She smirks as I take a bite of my toast.“You really don’t ever shut up. A pity if you ask me.” I say without so much as turning a glance her way.

    I watch carefully as Claire is prepped for her surgery. She looks rather calm considering the circumstances. It was almost unnerving.“Okay, Claire is ready to be transferred to the OR.” I hear the nurse say to the next nurse as she steps in to transfer her over. “Wait, let’s give her a moment with her husband before she transfers.” The nurse says as she hold an arm out and both nurses leave the room without another word.“This is it. Are you ready?” I ask calmly as I watch for her reaction.“I think so. I’d be able to go back to doing what I love and I’d be able to carry our beautiful boys. I can’t miss out on these opportunities, not after everything I’ve missed already.” I see a hint of sadness as I extend my hand to her.“You’re going to be fine. I’ll make sure of it.” I couldn’t let anything happen to her. Not this time around.“Thank you.” She lets out a small smile and I lean over to give her a kiss.“I’ll be waiting for you on the other side.” I say as I press my forehead to h
