The Billionaire’s Twisted Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

ROBERT'S POV I kept my eyes on the road, the weight of Ariana’s question pressing down on me like a vice. Her words echoed in my mind, mingling with the heavy silence that filled the car. How could I answer her? How could I explain the mistakes of the past without causing her more pain? My grip on the steering wheel tightened, knuckles white under the strain, as I navigated the familiar streets leading home.The garage door opened, and I pulled the car in, turning off the engine. The sudden quiet was almost deafening. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself, and slowly removed my seatbelt. Turning to face Ariana, I saw the confusion and hurt in her eyes. My heart ached knowing I was the cause.

ARIANA'S POV I felt a surge of anger the moment Josh announced that Odette had put some of the company's assets up for auction. But before I could voice my outrage, Sylvia cut in, her tone sharp and authoritative yet dismissive of this new information from her fiancé. "Odette has no right to put up the company's assets for auction," Sylvia stated firmly. "The merger between Elite Enterprises and Vanderbilt Holdings has not been finalized. Legally, Ariana, you are Richard's heir, and even though his will hasn't been read, for now, you hold the shares."I knew Sylvia knew what she was talking about but I was angry regardless. I knew nothing about my late Billionaire father and my app

ARIANA'S POV I stood there, watching Robert and Detective James exchange tense words, my mind a whirl of confusion. Robert's agitation was written all over him, and it only served to heighten my anxiety. Detective James must have sensed the urgency in Robert's demeanor. He reached for a folder and laid a photograph on the table in front of us. My eyes were drawn to it almost involuntarily. As soon as I saw the face staring back at me, a wave of dizziness hit me like a tidal wave.Cold gray eyes. My body felt numb, and a cold sweat broke out on my forehead. It was like all the blood had rushed to my head, leaving me lightheaded and on the brink of collapse. I gasped, reaching out to steady myself on the table before sinking into a chair."Ariana?" Robert's voice was distant, as if coming from the other end of a tunnel. "Is this the same man you saw leaving the elevator?"I managed a weak nod, unable to find my voice. The room seemed to spin around me, and I focused on my breathing, tr

ARIANA'S POVI gasped, feeling as though the floor had been ripped out from beneath me.  I had not been expecting this despite my mother's reactions."Murdered?" I whispered, barely able to get the word out. "How do you know it was murder?"Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. "Anita was gunned down in broad daylight," she said, her voice hollow and distant.Rob stood up abruptly, running a hand through his hair as he began to pace. "This only proves that Richard was involved in something big," he said, agitation clear in his voice. "And Anita was taken out because she knew too much."

ARIANA'S POVJosh looked shocked at my question, his mouth opening and closing as if he couldn't quite find the words. He stammered, “Yes... yes, that's the number. How do you know that?”Rob was on his feet instantly, rushing to my side. “Ariana, how do you know it?” He demanded, his eyes filled with a mix of concern and excitement.Everyone in the room seemed to be holding their breath. I could feel sweat beginning to form on my forehead, my palms clammy. I swallowed hard, trying to gather my thoughts.“I... I remember driving down there,” I said slowly. “I got out of
