Although I’m sad to see Claire go, I’m excited to see her new home that’s conveniently only three doors down from mine. Leonardo invited us all over for dinner this evening after he had the movers come to get Claire’s things. I mainly stayed upstairs with Mason - we were a little preoccupied.

After I hear the movers leave, I rush downstairs with Mason to find Claire sitting on the couch, lost in thought and running her belly. I didn’t like the looks of it - something wasn’t right.

“Are you okay, hun?” I ask as I sit beside her as rub her belly as well.

“Charlotte is trying to escape so that she can get to me. She knows that Leo isn’t with Julia.”

“What?! How?!” I look at Mason, expecting some sort of explanation.

“Charlotte was granted a tablet to use while in the facility and was reading some blogs when she stumbled upon a photo of a very pregnant Claire clinging to Leo’s side while he was fighting for his life.” He lowers his head in shame.

“And you think she’s coming for Claire?”

    As Mason escorts Claire inside, I can see she’s not in a very good mood. She seems anxious and part of me knows that Mason told her what I haven’t felt the courage to. I rise to my feet and wrap my arms around Claire as she bows her head into my chest and begins sobbing. I look over at Mason with a look that he understood - I needed the room so that I could speak privately to my wife. Naturally, he left with a nod and went to find Jasmine and keep her occupied as well. “Claire, I wanted to tell you once we were settled into our new house. I didn’t want you to worry yourself sick.”“She’s relentless. I’ve been patient with the justice system but they still haven’t begun her court proceedings and now she might find a way to escape and get to me. Who’s going to protect our boys then?” She shakes violently as she sobs.“We will. I’ve already gotten a security system installed in the house and the gate is set to begin installation tomorrow. And now you’re able to carry a concealed weapon

    After a few hours working with Tom, Mason congratulates me saying that I’ve passed and will be issued my permit. We walk out from the room and back into the lobby which features as a registered gun sales area and supplies shop. “Hey Claire, why don’t you come on over and have a look at these?” Tony hollers to me from across the room and behind a large glass counter space. I walk over and look down to see a number of small concealable pistols, handguns and revolvers. They were so small that they would fit it in small purse.“See one you like?” He asks as I look at each of them with a new sense of admiration.“I think that one is really nice.” I point at a small revolver that was compact and sleek.“Good eye. That’s a Ruger LCR. It’s small, compact, clean and one of the simplest to use. That’s a type of gun I’d give a woman like yourself for protection.” He takes it out the case, checks the chamber to make sure it’s empty and hands it to me. I take it in my hand and admire the cool me

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 121: Nathan’s POV

    It didn’t take a genius to see that Leonardo was genuinely trying to keep his marriage in tact and I found it almost admirable. For him to have a moment of self-realization, it must have broken down his character to some degree. He knew where he went wrong and where he could make improvement and part of me was almost envious that I couldn’t do the same to restore my own marriage. The truth is that is I, too, share some faults in the things leading up to my divorce but I never imagined that those little things would amount to a complete separation and an almost year-long legal mediation battle for property and assets. Both of which were mine long before our marriage. I just can’t help but wonder how I couldn’t saved it.Was it me or Celeste that had decided to break the camels back? I know that I loved her although I left her alone often, not selfishly, but for work. I’d have her travel with me and then wait for me to return from meetings but was it so bad that she needed to rid herse

    I’m just finishing the documents and shaking hands with the team at the closing table when I get a video from Mason and a text.‘Class was going well. There was a mouse situation but all is well. Your wife is a natural.” I tap on the video and watch my heavily pregnant wife properly disassemble a 9mm Taurus pistol and check the barrel before cleaning and greasing the gun properly. She then reassembles it with ease. She truly was a natural at this. I smile as I watch the video. I then get a call from my moving company.“Hello?”“Hi Mr. Leonardo, we’re at your current residence and would like to confirm the new address before heading that way.” I confirm the address with them and instruct them to furnish the home as well as unpack. They agree without hesitation and I hang up. I couldn’t afford for anything to go wrong. I wanted my wife home and I couldn’t settle for less.After the closing teams dispersed, I send a text for Arthur to pick up Elena and bring her to the new residence and

    We sit in the car for a few minutes to make sure Claire does have another false contraction before heading inside. I give Claire an arm in case she doubles over and motion for Tony to bring her to the room. He escorts Claire immediately and I hear their conversation of pregnancies dwindle into a whisper as they make it down the hall. I wait until I hear the door to the room shut to call Leo.“Pick up. Pick up.” I pace as I wait for a response.“Hey man, can this wait? I’m at the closing table.” “No! Claire says she’s having Braxton Hicks. How do I know if they’re real contractions?! Or-or when I need to take her to the hospital?” I was panicked. My mother never went into detail on this part of pregnancy and right now, I really wish she had.“How many has she had?” Why does he sound calm?“One.”“Was there any sign of bleeding?”“No.”“Did her water break?” “No.”“Then she’s not in labor. The doctor said there would be repetitive contractions that would get closer together as the tim

    After a long night of coming to terms with my new life and all its changes, I fell asleep with ease. Sleep was becoming a rarity at this stage in my pregnancy so any chance was more than enough reason to do so. I was surprised when I had awoken to the soften pitter-pattering of rain on the windows. It was gloomy outside but clock said it was already ten o’clock. That means I had slept for more than eight hours without stirring once. It was not only unusual but incredibly necessary.I gently rock myself until I’m able to sit up and get out of bed. I struggle to complete my morning routine as my belly felt even more heavy today and head to the kitchen where I find Nathan is already enjoying a bowl of cereal.“Mind if I join you?” I say as I serve myself a giant bowl as well.“Don’t you mean ‘we’?” He mocks as I sit down. “I’m just picking at you. How are you feeling?” “I’m feeling a bit sore. This belly is one heavy load. But I should be giving birth any day now.”“Are you ready?”“I m

    I assist Claire out of the shower breathlessly as she hugs me, melting her body into mine. I loved watching her convulse in pleasure and beg for me. It showed me exactly what I wanted to see in her. She knew just as well as I did that only I could ever make her feel this way and that I intended to for the rest of my days. I hand her a towel and assist her in getting dressed before leaving for the night.“You sure you don’t want to be tucked in?” I ask with a wink.“No, I’ll be fine.” She smiles with a soft laugh.“I can be very persuasive.” I mention as I lean down and kiss her neck. She seems to melt at my touch but leads my face back to hers. We kiss for a moment until she withdraws. “I’ll see you tomorrow after my gun safety course with Mason and Tony?”“I might be a little late. I have to sign the closing documents for the house but afterwards, I’m all yours.” “Okay, maybe I’ll spend some time with Jas while you’re busy. I haven’t had a minute since the surgery and her new datin

    I was surprised to have enjoyed dinner with Leo’s mother as much as I did. I had lost everything these past few months and having gained the boys and a sense of family made it all the while worth it - oddly enough.“That went better than even I anticipated. How are you feeling now?” Leo says as he drives us back to Jasmine’s place.“I feel relieved. I spent so long feeling like an outsider and intruder as your wife when it came to your family. They always made Charlotte feel welcome whereas I’d sit in the back and watched them praise her while everyone judged and scrutinized me. I never thought any of them would accept me - especially not your mother.” I feel embarrassed to even say it aloud.“Will you be allowing her to be around the boys? I know it hasn’t been pleasant and I also play a role in that but things are different now.” He was trying to convince me without forcing me to come to terms with his ideas.“I think it’s only fair that she gets to see her grandchildren. I can’t pu
