The Billionaire’s Betrayed Bride Chapter 205
RILEY'S POV I stared blankly at my phone for several minutes before finally forcing myself to move.The email sat open on the screen, the words simple and formal, yet somehow heavy enough to settle in my chest like a stone.Your resignation has been approved. Just like that.Weeks of thought, hesitation, and quiet panic reduced to a single sentence. I had submitted the resignation in a rush of determination after everything started spiraling in my life. At the time it had felt like the only way to regain some control. Now it was official, no take-backs.I was done with revenge, it was time to focus on my baby.I rested the phone on the bed beside me and leaned back against the headboard, staring at the ceiling.“Well,” I murmured quietly. “That’s that.”My hand drifted unconsciously to my stomach. The curve beneath my loose shirt was small but undeniable now.I was already five months gone.The baby shifted faintly, or maybe it was just my imagination. Either way, it reminded me ex

RILEY’S POVThe apartment felt too quiet.Not the comfortable quiet Claire and I were used to, the kind where music hummed in the background and someone inevitably burned something in the kitchen.This quiet was different. Heavy.I stood in the kitchen doorway, staring at the clock on the wall. The second hand ticked steadily forward like it was mocking the way I kept glancing toward the front door.Aiden should’ve been home by now. He hadn’t told me where he was going earlier, just that he had “something to handle.” His voice had been neutral when he said it, but there had been tension sitting under the words.I noticed things like that, especially with him.I had tried not to ask questions. I had been trying very hard lately not to push him into corners he didn’t want to stand in.Still… something about the way he left had unsettled me. The lock finally turned.I straightened immediately, my heart jumping slightly.The door opened and Aiden stepped inside.The moment I saw his fa

ETHAN’S POVSilence is expensive. That was the first thing I learned.The anonymous posts had begun like a whisper and escalated into a roar. Allegations, screenshots, carefully worded accusations that never quite crossed into defamation but hovered close enough to burn.And then, just as suddenly as they’d begun, they slowed.The posts stopped appearing daily, then weekly, then not at all.The internet, fickle as ever, found something new to chew on. To the outside world, the crisis was fading.To me, it had already done its damage.Contracts were paused, Investors reconsidered their positions.Two long-term partners severed ties quietly, issuing carefully neutral statements aboutstrategic realignment.I lost millions in a quarter.Reputation doesn’t bleed publicly.It hemorrhages privately.Board meetings grew colder, conversations shorter and handshakes firmer but less sincere.My name, once associated with precision and growth, now carried a shadow of instability.And instabilit

RILEY’S POVI sat in the dining area after lunch, staring at the table.My resignation letter sat in my bag, printed, signed, folded neatly inside a cream envelope. I had rewritten it three times the night before, staring at the words until they stopped looking real.Kindly accept this as my formal notice. Too polite.In the end, I settled for something clean, professional, and detached.I would be concluding my role in four weeks, I appreciated the opportunities. I wished the company well.Aiden had watched me seal the envelope without saying much. Just a quiet, “You’re sure?” before kissing my forehead like he already knew the answer.Now I stood outside the company building, staring up at the glass exterior reflecting the morning sun.This place had once felt like ambition. Now it felt like survival.I walked in. The lobby smelled the same. Polished floors, subtle perfume, corporate neutrality. People nodded at me as I passed. Some smiled. Some didn’t. None of them knew.I press

RILEY’S POVBy the time the sun had started to dip below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow across the city, I was finally beginning to feel like I could breathe. Well… as much as I ever could these days.I had just finished tidying a few things in Aiden’s apartment, trying not to think about the broken lock, the handprint on my wall, or Ethan who might have been behind it all. My mind was already spinning with worst-case scenarios when the doorbell rang.I wasn’t expecting anyone, not at this hour of the day.I hesitated, then padded over and peeked through the peephole. Claire. Immediately, my chest tightened. She looked frantic, oversized sunglasses hiding her eyes, but the tight set of her jaw and the way she was tapping her fingers against her bag told me everything I needed to know.I opened the door, feeling a sudden jolt of guilt.“Claire?” I started, but she cut me off, stepping inside before I could finish.“You didn’t tell me,” she said, her voice trembling just e

Adrian’s POVI wasn’t supposed to be at the hospital this morning. If the board meeting hadn’t been pushed back an hour, I would have been on my way to the office, not rushing through the hospital parking lot, juggling my phone and car keys.But life always had a funny way of throwing you off.I ha

Riley’s POVThe scent of roasted beans and something sweet, maybe cinnamon, smelled faintly around the café, but it didn’t lift my mood. I sat there staring at the folder in front of me, the one with the divorce papers, the final end to what used to be my marriage. The folder looked plain, harmles

Riley’s POVI didn’t answer, I just stood, watching her say all she could say.She tilted her head. “Sophia and I spoke. She told me everything.”Of course she did. They would do anything…just anything to bring me down, just like they’ve always had.“Yeah. I’m sure she did,” I laughed bitterly.Sam

Claire’s POVIt’s been over a week since Riley last came around, and every day since, something inside me itched with unease. She always kept saying she was fine, her voice soft and small over the phone. But I knew her too well to believe that. Riley never says much when she’s hurting; she just go
