บททั้งหมดของ A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

“What are you saying, Leah?” Jennifer said, putting on her perfect act of a shocked expression.She let out a deep breath as her sorrowful eyes turned to face Ethan, then she looked at me, shaking her head slightly in grief.“I understand, Leah. I have heard that some women experience slight mental issues after losing a child, but you did not lose your child, Leah—you killed him yourself. I understand you might be going through some very complex emotions right now, but still, Leah, that’s not enough reason to spread lies about me, or try and destroy the strong bond I share with Ethan with your falsehoods,” she said, her tone dripping with sadness and pity as she watched me.Her hands went to Ethan, and I expected him to flinch from her touch, but it seemed I raised my expectations of him too highly, because he did not recoil at all. Rather, he stood there, rigid, his eyes fixed on me while not giving any emotions away.It seems I underestimated Jennifer. She was a flawless actress wit

‘Good,’ I thought happily.My hands moved towards my bedside, my gaze roaming around as I looked for my phone.“My phone, where is it?” I thought. My eyes widened in horror as the last time I held my phone came rushing back in my mind.Jennifer cut the call on me, and before I could keep my phone, I was dragged out of the alley.“Oh God,” I muttered. My phone must still be somewhere back in the alley.“So where is it, Leah? Huh? Where is your proof?” Jennifer asked, feigning a sympathetic smile.“I must have lost my phone in the alley when…”“Oh please, don’t you get tired of lying, Leah?” Jennifer asked, shaking her head with a sad smile almost like she pitied me.My face deepened in a scowl, as anger burned through me when I took in her expression.My eyes shifted from hers to Ethan, whose stare had not left me.“Ethan, believe me, I had proof. I really had proof on my phone, but somehow…”“Enough, Leah! Enough!” Ethan roared, cutting me short.I stared at him in shock, taking in th

I held my tears back, finding it pointless to cry, although they kept on pouring.“I loathe you, Ethan. I hate you more than I have ever hated anything in this world. You are right, it’s good that it’s gone. You would have made a horrible father; you are too toxic to be one. And that’s why I killed it. Because I could not bear the thought of having a child with a mentally deranged man like you.” I said, my voice dropping with every ounce of emotion I felt for him, as my breathing turned heavy.He must have felt the genuineness in the words, because his hands around my neck tightened. My vision grew hazy from the pressure, and I was left gasping for air.My hands clawed at his in a futile attempt to pry him off me. And when I thought he was really going to kill me, he let go. Pushing himself off me, he reacted like I scalded him.“Lie on all fours,” he ordered, his voice sounding dark and gruff. My eyes flared. A sense of fear crept in my mind, from knowing I was still sore all over

“Ethan,” I choked out at the sight of him.“How many times do I have to warn you, Leah, to stay away from Jennifer?” he said darkly. His eyes were hard as he sent me a disapproving glare.“This looks nothing like it seems. If you had come earlier, you would have…”“Enough, Leah. Just enough!” he roared, his entire form trembling with rage.He moved towards where I stood. His large hands wrapped around my forearm in a tight grip, and fingers digging into my skin enough to leave a bruise.“I have tolerated your disrespect for Jennifer so many times, thinking you would change,” he growled. His expression was one of disdain, his harsh breath fell on my face with every word he uttered.“A long time ago, I promised to give her an eye for an eye, to any bastard who dared to hurt her again. Now, Leah, you just had to hit her,” he spat venomously, making me flinch in his grip.“I know you don’t believe a word I say. But trust me, Jennifer is nothing like you think she is. She is pretentious, a

“Why are you lying Leah?” Jennifer questioned smugly.Her words made me grit my teeth as anger roared in my chest.I felt it when I passed her—the way her legs shot out deliberately when I passed, hitting slightly, as I missed my steps. I was too slow to react, and before I realised her plan, I had already crashed flat on the floor.Her lips tugged up in a cruel smirk, as she looked down at me on the floor. A vicious glint lit up in her eyes.“You fell because of your carelessness, and now you try to put the blame on me? That's just pathetic Leah.”She spat. My cheeks flamed red in embarrassment, as her words echoed in my ears.I opened my mouth to speak but froze when my skin prickled at the sudden drop in the temperature of the room, as the entire room grew silent. “What’s happening here?” A deep voice came, cutting through the silence. I looked up to see Ethan forcing his way through the crowd, or rather—the crowd parted ways for him. Immediately I his eyes landed on me, it fe
