last update Huling Na-update: 2025-03-08 23:05:52

Looks like I really got myself in a pickle this time. That bitch, Charlotte will pay for this. Running her over was a mistake. I should’ve killed her when I had the chance.

I’m shackled heavily as I’m pulled from my jail cell and told that I will be taken to my arraignment. With the positive sketch and identification of my victims - I wouldn’t have a way out of this one and I knew that they wouldn’t risk setting me free.

I wait to hear the judges‘ motion and am defeated when I hear that bail would be off the table. Looks like I’d have to find another way to get to Charlotte. As the judge bangs him gavel, I’m redirected to leave the courtroom by two officers. I look over at the stands before the door and am shocked by what I see. That frail woman who I had pushed down the stairs - resulting in the death of her child was sitting there and behind her - I see Leonardo. The man who started it all. That’s not all I notice. I see the ring on his finger as he silently comforts her. The child

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

    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

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

    I wake up to the early morning sun as I roll onto my side to make it the bathroom quickly. Normally, I’d admire the beautiful rays dancing on the stone windowsill but one of the boys was bouncing on my bladder. It isn’t until after I use the bathroom and return to bed that I realize Leo isn’t there. I feel my breath catch in my throat as I scan the room for him. I know he was here last night. The pleasure I felt couldn’t have been a dream. What if I made him weaker? Just as I sit down to panic, Leo opens the bedroom door and enters casually.“Good morning, I was just coming to wake you - Are you okay?” He shifts between happy and concerned as he sees my face.“I thought something happened to you.” I huff and point at him and then place my hand over my heart.“Claire, I’m fine. I feel a lot better after last night.” He winks as he makes his way to me and kisses my forehead. “I was just downstairs filling out your patient packet for your procedure today and drinking coffee.” His reassur

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

    I never found getting dressed so tedious. I had settled on a nice pair of jeans and a leather jacket. Black would match anything that Jasmine planned on wearing - hopefully. I get in my car and head to Jasmine’s house and I make sure to arrive on time and on the hour. I’m about to knock on the floor door as I stand there with a bouquet of flowers when Nathan instinctively opens the door and waves for me to come in.“Jasmine’s just finishing up. She told me to let you in. It seems more like a demand than a request.” He shrugs as he offers me a beer. I take it with a nod. A beer wasn’t a a bad idea with my nerves.“Thanks, man.”“No problem. So you know as Jasmine’s uncle, I don’t want to see her hurt, right?” Not the parental warning. I thought I’d long since passed this stage in my life.“Is this where you threaten me and I’m supposed to feel intimidated like high school times?” I joke as I sip my beer.“No but in all seriousness, Jasmine hasn’t dated anyone since she ended her engage

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 113; Leonardo’s POV

    It takes a while for me to make my way upstairs. I would ask for help but the thought of needing help to simply walk was humiliating within itself. I took each step slowly, holding onto the staircase rail tightly to ensure I wouldn’t fall back only to have to repeat the steps. It takes longer than I anticipated but I’m finally able to make it up the stairs and to my bedroom door. I open it to find Claire is snuggled up to her neck in my comforters and fast asleep. Elena had left her to nap.I slowly make my way to the ottoman to remove my shoes and clothes before getting into bed with her. I wrap my arms around her tiny frame and pull her into my chest like I’d done over the last six years. Truthfully, I couldn’t sleep without her in my grasp and her being gone has been extremely difficult. I watch as he turns, nuzzling her nose into the nape of my neck and breathes in deeply. I slowly reach my hand to her face, using one finger to whisk away an escaped lock. She was beautiful and she

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 113: Jasmine’s POV

    I lay down in bed waiting for the unknown. Would he bust through my bedroom door and apologize for being wrong about Mason or happy to tell me that he wasn’t? It’d be so long since I’d dated anyone that I just didn’t even know how to anymore. I lay with my legs up against the wall, staring at the ceiling and thinking about the possibilities. If he wasn’t interested, it’d be awkward having to see him for Claire’s sake.I see my phone is ringing and answer without looking to see who it is. It must be one of my work colleagues. I hadn’t finalized the fall collection patterns for next season yet.“This is Jas.” I say comfortably. My phone never received mysterious or unwanted calls. They were always intended and directly related to me.“Hey, it’s Mason. Is it a good time?” I freeze as I hear his voice on the other line and I feel a zing in the palm of my hand.“Hey, yeah, what’s going on?” I knew Claire was okay, she texted me herself and she told Nathan and I that Leonardo was fine. Was

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 113: Mason’s POV

    I’m just leaving the judges’ office to file Charlotte’s charges from Leonardo and Claire when I see a message from Nathan coming through.‘Hey, I know you’re busy with Claire’s case and all but I was wondering if you’d be able to give me call.’ It seems odd for Nathan to want to talk about anything considering Claire wasn’t there and Charlotte was locked away safely in the mental health hospital but I decide to give him a call as I drive home for the day. I dial his number and wait for him to answer.“Hey Nathan, it’s Mason. Is everything alright over there?” Maybe someone had startled Jasmine or him.“Oh yeah, everything’s fine. I wanted to talk to you about Jasmine actually.” He made it seem as though it were a casual question.“Okay. I’m all ears.” I wait patiently for his response. It didn’t seem like Jasmine was in any harm so I continue my journey in the direction of home.“Well, I’ve seen how you both seem to notice each other and have these long silent pauses when you look at

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 112: Nathan’s POV

    “Hey Jas, I got a text from Claire. She says that she’s sorry if she worried us. Leo was poisoned with thallium and admitted to the hospital? He’s okay and she’s with him at his house.” I casually mention as I enter the kitchen to find Jas scarfing down every pint of ice cream there was. Most people didn’t know this about my infamous fashion designer niece but she always turned to ice cream when having anxiety or in crisis.“Oh, thank god! This is the last pint, you know.” She says as she raises the half empty and melted pint of Ben & Jerry’s. “Wait, thallium?!”“That’s what it says.” I was just as confused.“Who would poison Leonardo with thallium?” “Well he had left with Juli to meet Charlotte and he was attacked by a knife-wielding psychopath so I’d say Charlotte.” It wasn’t the craziest thing she’s done.“Oh my god! She tried to kill him.” Jas was horrified by the discovery. “According to Julia, she intended to stab him in the back but he turned before she got close enough. With

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 112: Mason’s POV

    After watching Leo sign the documents, I take Leo and Claire back to his home to rest. The ride is silent and I’m unsure if Claire is silent from satisfaction, gratitude, shock or fear. This was something she never expected to happen. It was something she was denied for so long - justice. It was understandable if she was conflicted.“We’re here.” I say as I park and hop out to help Leo as Elena rushes out to assist Claire. I get Leo to the couch and wait until he’s seated to start.“You’re really going head-on with these charges?” He signed the documents already and I wanted to make sure before I send them off.“Mason, she tried to poison because I don’t love her. She’s disfigured my wife and murdered my son. I should’ve done this a long time ago.” He shrugs as thought it were just another business decision.“Well you seem sure - I’ll have the documents sent off then.” “Mason, I have a question. With charlottes current condition, do you think they’ll force her to stay institutionaliz

  • The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal   Chapter 112: Claire’s POV

    It’s the next day and Leonardo is finally being released from the hospital. He’s still a bit weak from the attack but he’s determined to make it to the police station and sign the affidavits to file charges against Charlotte. And not only for me but himself. I watch as Mason helps him to the car. The doctors said that the fatigue was more so from the treatment than the poison and should clear within the next few days.“Are you sure you don’t want to go home, man? Charlotte has already been institutionalized. We don’t have to file the charges right now.” Mason offers as Leo forces himself into the car on his own. Leo didn’t like the idea of feeling weak and I could see how it was beginning to frustrate him.“I’d rather get my affairs in my order first.” “He didn’t want to give himself space or time to reconsider.“Okay, I’ll have my deputy clerk print out all the forms so it’s easier.” Mason offers as he pulls out his phone and sends a quick message.“Thanks.” I offer as I walk over to
