Lahat ng Kabanata ng Billionaire's Bride: Betrayal to Bliss : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

CHAPTER 11The days following the journal revelation were filled with a whirlwind of new experiences and challenges. Estefan’s world was more intricate and demanding than I had ever imagined, and I was determined to navigate it successfully.Estefan has been engaging me in a lot of activities that would help me familiarize myself with this new life of mine, and I am grateful for that.One evening, I was with Estefan in the sitting room when he received an unexpected phone call. His expression darkened as he listened to the voice on the other end, his fingers drumming against the polished surface of his desk. I sat across from him, my curiosity roused.“Yes, I’ll be there,” he finally said, ending the call abruptly. He looked at me, his eyes unreadable. “We need to attend a family gathering tonight. My brother, Adrian, will be there.”I had heard mentions of Adrian before, always with a mix of respect and caution. The tension between the two brothers was palpable, though I don’t know t

Kaitlyn's nerves were still on edge from the dinner with Estefan's parents the night before. The tension in the Salvatore household had been palpable, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being tested, scrutinized with every word she spoke and every move she made.As she sat at the vanity in her apartment, brushing her hair, her mind wandered back to the previous evening. Isabella's probing questions, Robert's intense gaze, and the subtle yet unmistakable tension between father and son; it was all flowing in her mind like a storm she couldn’t escape.Today, however, was different. Estefan had mentioned something about introducing her to a few more family traditions, things she needed to understand before the marriage could proceed. But the details had been vague, and that made her uneasy. What more could she need to know?A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Kaitlyn turned to see Sarah entering the room with a smile, a welcome distraction from her flow of thoughts.

Chapter 16Kaitlyn sat at her kitchen table the next morning, staring blankly at the cup of coffee in her hands and replaying recent events over and over in her mind. She had signed the contract, agreed to this bizarre arrangement, and now she was about to be publicly declared as the fiancée of Estefan Salvatore, a man who had already begun to change her life in ways she couldn’t have imagined.Her phone buzzed, jolting her from her thoughts. It was a message from Estefan:“Car will be there in 30 minutes. Be ready.”Kaitlyn took a deep breath and set down her cup. There was no time for secondguessing. She quickly dressed in a sleek, form-fitting dress that Estefan had sent over earlier that morning; it was something elegant but not overly formal. She paired it with simple jewelry, trying to balance sophistication with her usual style. She didn’t want to look like she was trying too hard, but she also didn’t want to embarrass Estefan in front of the media and the world.When the car a

Chapter 18Kaitlyn woke up with a mix of exhilaration and dread. The world now knew about her engagement to Estefan Salvatore, and with it came a new set of challenges and expectations. Yet, a part of her couldn’t shake the feeling of unreality that clung to the situation.As she got ready for the day, her mind raced with the implications of their engagement. The wedding planning would be a monumental task, and the public eye would be on them every step of the way. She wondered how she would balance her desire for a private celebration with the demands of their public image.Estefan arrived at her apartment shortly after, his presence filling the room with an aura of calm confidence. “Morning,” he greeted her with a warm smile, his eyes scanning her with approval.Kaitlyn returned the smile, though her heart was pounding. “Morning,” she replied, trying to sound nonchalant.“I’ve already started planning the engagement party,” Estefan announced, taking a seat on the sofa. “I will be ha

Chapter 20The evening arrived with a sense of anticipation. Kaitlyn stood in front of the mirror in her suite, feeling a mix of emotions as she adjusted the delicate strap of her deep emerald green dress, which perfectly complemented her features.The gown hugged her figure perfectly; it was simple yet elegant, a reflection of her own natural beauty. It was designed to make her look every bit the part of Estefan Salvatore’s fiancée. Her hair was styled in soft waves that cascaded down her back, and the diamond necklace Estefan had given her sparkled as she held it in her hands, staring at it.Despite the outward appearance, Kaitlyn couldn’t shake the anxiety that gripped her. This was it—the moment the world would see her as Estefan’s bride-to-be. The thought of Michael and Melissa seeing her in this new role filled her with both satisfaction and dread. She had moved on, found something or someone better, but the wounds they had inflicted were still fresh, and the thought of confront
