I pull back from Leonardo’s embrace and refocus on Matthew who had made himself cozy on the couch next to Charlotte.

“Matthew, I think it’s time you leave.” I stand firm on my own. He had embarrassed me enough.

“Claire, you know how much I need the money.” He shrugs as if his hands are tied.

“Well a demand won’t help you. If you leave now, I’ll consider helping you. Stay here and you’ll only be wasting your time.” I cross my arms and return my attention to Leo as I hear my brother rising from his seat. That was the first and only time I’d ever spoken to Matthew that way. I felt accomplished, especially after I knew he planned on leaving.

“Claire, I have a gift for you.” I see Leo giving me an excited smile with one hand placed behind his back as he leads me upstairs.

“I-“ he cuts me off before I could protest.

“I promised you a better fifth wedding anniversary gift and I owe this to you.” I watch as he pulls a Manila envelope from behind his back. Had he already drafted our divorc

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 125: Leonardo’s POV

    I watched as Claire used every last ounce of energy she had to push out our boys. She repeated the process as instructed by the delivering doctor although she was in tears and drenched in sweat. It wasn’t until I heard the first cry that I realized she had done it and I see her face light up as she hears his cries.“You’re almost there, momma. We just need you to push one more time and your second baby boy should be out.” The nurse says calmly as she continues to support Claire’s leg. I can see my mother on the other side of Claire’s bed and she seems lost for words as she holds Claire’s hand and looks over at our son. Claire begins pushing again and our second son comes out instantly. Claire begins to sob as she sees both boys being cleaned up by the nurses.“You’ve done wonderful, dear. They look marvelous.” Mother takes a damp cloth, wiping Claire’s face gently as she commends her.“They’re beautiful.” I whisper as I kiss her forehead. After seeing my boys, I became oblivious to al

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 125: Charlotte’s POV

    I finally have a plan on my escape and after reading and watching our local weather reports, it seems that I have the perfect opportunity. There should be tropical storm coming in the next two weeks and this offered nothing but ample opportunity for me to execute my escape, seize my medication to stop my wretched mother from interfering and break into Leo’s home to find Claire and show her why she should’ve heeded my warning in the first place. Julia might have removed my finger and scarred my face but she was not going to deter me from destroying Claire. It couldn’t be helped. She may have altered my image and temporarily broken down my self-esteem but I refuse to be undermined by a scoured woman without premise. “You will fail, Charlotte.” I hear my mother echo as there is a knock at the door.“Hi, it’s time for your first psychiatric evaluation.” The nurse says cheerfully. I get up without so much as a word and follow her out of the room. Anything was better than dealing with the

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 125: Claire’s POV

    I feel Leo’s arms holding me as I double over in pain once again. The contractions were beginning to feel closer and more complex. They had easily doubled in intensity since I’d arrived and Leo’s breathing technique had lost its effectiveness. “Dear, a kiss releases oxytocin and that will ease her pain. Be affectionate to her.” It was sweet but also very odd to have so much support from her. “Mother, I’m sure Claire doesn’t want to be affectionate while you all are watching.” Leo was not taking well to her suggestions.“Will it lower the pain?” I ask in a tiredness as the contractions subside.“Yes. It is proven to help.” She says proudly. I look over at Leo in response. If it was proven then he should have no hesitations although I know Leo wasn’t one for such public affections normally. He looks at me and gives a small smile as though he knew exactly what I was thinking. He leans in gently, kissing me until I pull back for air. It wasn’t our normal kisses that usually led to somet

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 124: Jasmine’s POV

    Did she just say four hours? Claire’s water open broke two hours ago and they just administered her medication when she arrived. Could she really give birth to the boys that quickly? Just as we all share looks of concern, the doctor comes in to check Claire’s dilation again. We’re asked to leave the room for her privacy and we all walk out in single order without hesitation. Leonardo and his mother stayed back.“Do you think Claire is ready to push now?” Nathan asks as he walk over to the private waiting area. “I don’t think so. She’s only just had the medication.” “I would side with Leo’s mother. She isn’t known for being wrong about these things.” Mason adds. “Before they were well-off, she was a midwife. This was her profession.”“She actually had a job at one point?” Nathan was surprised.“Yes. I remember her walking into the front door with scrubs while Leo and I played video games. We were very young. It was shortly before his father’s business took off.” Mason says as we all

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 124: Leonardo’s POV

    I sit silently holding onto Claire’s hand while answering Jasmine and Elena’s questions. They were worried about every little detail that encompassed childbirth and it was starting to make me even more nervous. “Don’t let them get in your head. They’re just spiraling.” Nathan offers as he walks back in with snack and drinks for everyone and a bucket of ice chips for Claire. He hands me a coffee. “Thanks, Nathan.” I raise my cup at him. He wasn’t that bad after I actually got to know him personally. A shame I didn’t bother when I contracted his company for over the years. As soon as I take a sip of my coffee, I hear the door open behind me and someone gasps. “Hello Mother.” I say without so much as looking back. Her perfume was a give away as well as her dramatics. “Hello dear, how is my daughter-in-law doing?” She says as she lowers herself to the seat beside me. “She’s resting for now. They’re going to check her dilation progress in the next thirty minutes.” “She plans to del

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 124: Claire’s POV

    Leonardo paved as he waited for the nurse and doctor to check in on me. He was nervous and I could see why. We weren’t expecting the boys to set their arrival just yet. Thankfully, our new home is just finished so we have a nice discreet location to raise them peacefully - even if it’s only for a little while until Charlotte finds me again.Once the doctor came by, he checked my dilation and I was only two centimeters. He suggested that I take a medication to help me dilate more quickly since I was having multiples. Leo was hesitant but I quickly agreed as it would help me achieve a natural delivery. The nurse came in shortly after to administer an IV with saline solution and my medication. I could tell that she was nervous because of Leo. His eyes could have burned a hole in her. “Leo, I think you’re scaring her.” I say softly as she works on my IV. I see her face become red with embarrassment. “I’ll just stand over here.” He says quietly as he stands by the window across the enorm
