Все главы Betrayed Love: Stuck Between the Billionaires : Глава 61 - Глава 70

Viktor As I entered the penthouse, I found the place empty. There was no trace of her.‘She’d gone to meet one of those men.’ the venomous thought slipped into my chest.Brienne was right behind me. My gut tightened at the thought of meeting Eva here. How confused she would be before it set in. Had she been here, would I have the will to go through with this?There was no time to think of anything else. Not when Brienne kissed me, pushing her breasts against me.“Let's see if she will be back by the time we're done.” Brianna coyly smiled.As it turned out, we weren't done by the time she returned and I met the face of the woman I once loved staring horrified at us.‘Are you surprised?’ I thought horribly. My chest twinged in rebellion but I suppressed it. Why should I be the one to feel ashamed after everything she'd done?She had no right to feel sad or betrayed. It was only payback.And it was only just the first thing My decision was on impulse yet it still felt like it was a lo

THREE WEEKS LATEREva‘LONG STANDING COMPANY FALLS: REYNOLDS FAMILY CORPORATION ON THE BRINK OF BANKRUPTCY?’I traced the headlines again and again, wondering if I was seeing things.Of course I had expected this, but seeing it in itself was…wow.Shutting my eyes, I dropped my phone on the bed.Only several hours ago we'd returned from the long needed vacation. Jonathan left shortly after dinner and the kids had school, leaving me free to finally turn on my phone after an eternity. After sifting through hundreds of emails and messages that came over the past few weeks, I grew tired and went online to read news.Things weren't going well on their end. Brienne and Geoffrey were both in jail, convicted of multiple sentences by their victims. I couldn't even feel a sliver of emotion reading those words on my screen.That was considered old news now, the trail becoming silent while they awaited trial. On the other hand, Reynolds' Family Corporation was in the news constantly from one new a

EvaHis presence alone left me frozen in shock, even though I had anticipated it, but what I didn't expect was how…different he looked. He was far from the man I'd seen nearly a month ago.A slight stubble showed on his face. His eyes were lax, and down turned. He looked like he hadn't properly slept or eaten. On the surface he didn't look so different. His hair, albeit ruffled was still orderly and he was in a suit, yet despite his attempt at a pristine appearance, something was missing. And the most obvious part, the look in his eyes…I blinked and quickly averted my gaze to the nearest wall, pushing the thought away. A lump grew in my throat making me squeeze a fist. It wasn't too late to turn away. In fact, perhaps the best thing I should do was ignore him. “I beg you. Don't turn away Eva, Please.” His voice groused and I nearly gasped. I was sure I hadn't said it out loud but it was as though he'd read my thoughts.But more than that…his words struck me. He wasn't asking or co

Viktor Night had fallen when I reached the place. Stepping out of the car, I looked at the building with a hollow feeling in my chest. The lights were off. Yet I stayed in place, feeling like an outsider.After years of avoiding it, I'd returned to the place I'd left years ago.My old penthouse. The home that unused to be ours before I ruined everything.It didn't matter how many times I'd come here, it still felt foreign yet painfully familiar and no matter my state I remained standing in this same spot in the entrance, focused on the room windows above that belonged to that room.Six years ago, she had been thrown out in the same place. Had she looked back at the window? The pang of regret never failed to sting. Shutting my eyes, I finally moved forward. Whatever sounds I gave the security at the reception could barely be called a greeting, but it was enough as I slipped into the elevator. The silence throughout reinforced the memories floating in my mind. The good and bad, all o

Eva The awkwardness grew the longer the silence persisted. I took the initiative to break it, shifting slightly, “Uh…Julienne , this is Penelope,” I introduced, turning to Julienne before staring interchangeably at Penelope “she's my friend and owns this cafe.” Julienne looked trite, staring at me in shock. I sent her a silent apology, hoping she didn't think I'd done this on purpose. Even I was still recovering from the shock. Lost in conversation I'd forgotten about Penelope meeting her, but it didn't help the discomfort from her sudden entrance and words. Penelope sat on the free seat at the side, middling us. “Did something happen?” I asked warily. “No, I just felt like stepping out,” she replied, shaking her head, “I also wanted to meet you, Julienne.” I noticed Julienne stiffen. “Penelope-” I said in a warning tone. “Thank you for helping Eva out before. Drinks are on me.” Penelope said with a smile. “Oh, thanks…” Julienne said, a wary look on her eyes. O
