Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

I get called into the warden’s office and thought of the prison warden was already intimidating. I’ve tried my best to stay out of trouble as Leonardo and Claire instructed me to do while they work on my release. I just don’t know what I could’ve done wrong and I’m speechless as I see my arresting officer - chief commissioner Mason Grey. I must’ve done something serious.“Matthew, the officers will be removing your chains and I expect you to have a seat.” The warden was clear on his instructions and I follow exactly as told.“Do you know why you’re here?” He asks in a serious tone.“No sir.”“Do you recognize this decorated officer?” He gestures to the chief commissioner and I nod.“He was my arresting officer, sir.”“Well chief commissioner Mason has made a valiant effort in clearing your name. He has found astounding evidence to not, only suggest, but prove that you were wrongfully accused the crimes you are being held in custody for. As of today, I am extending my deepest apology a

I leave Claire and head to the precinct when I hear that news had reached the tabloids of a young billionaire rekindling with his wife. It was kept anonymous as to who but I’m sure those who knew me would be able to piece the information together. Charlotte definitely did. I was relieved to see her text but too busy to take her call. I cared for you and I still care about her but my main focus is my wife. I’ve dedicated far too much time to Charlotte. I arrive at the precinct where I see Mason is just arriving back. “Long day, Mason?” I ask as we meet at the entrance. “An eventful day. I saw your brother-in-law and told him of his release in twenty four hours. The warden was apologetic as well. Not something I’m used to seeing.” “Thank you. Claire will be thrilled to have her brother back. She’s worried about his safety in there.” “Well he’s staying out of trouble and has been placed in solitary confinement to ensure he is released without error or held on any discrepancy. He’ll b

I drive to the location as directed by Mason and I’m met with an odd stench and unsightly bar. This is why I would be meeting Claire’s attacker and my former kidnapper. It seemed odd that a man who charges so much would hang around in the most unruliest of places but I decide to abandon my criticism. I could judge him after he’d been apprehended. I grab the suitcase from my trunk, go inside and sit at the far end of the bar which was surprisingly vacant. Whether done so, with purpose or not was beyond me. I wait in silence as I order a whiskey neat.I see a rugged average sized man come through the door and make direct eye-contact with me before making his way over. He sits to my right and orders a beer while lighting a cigarette. I see the box is Newports. A good sign that we had the right man.“You have a job for me?” He asks uninterested as he smokes and drinks.“I do.” I say as I down my whiskey and raise my glass for another fill. The bartender comes quickly and fills it before d

I awake to the sound of Francisco’s phone ringing and become quickly agitated. It wasn’t hard to tell that I was napping. Pregnancy was as exhausting and it was unappealing. I roll over and toss the phone at Francisco who is doing push-ups on the deck. “Did it wake you?” He asks as he comes to a stand after catching the phone.“What do you think.” I close the French door and can still see his shadow moving from side to side. Great - more pacing. I roll back over and begin to drift back into sleep when Francisco bursts in and asks that I listen to him immediately. I roll my eyes and rise to a sit.“What now?” I was becoming tired of his constant talking.“They have Mark.” “Who the hell is Mark?” I had no interest in names. When you have money, you can call people whatever you want.“Ay dois! The man you paid to kill your ex-lover’s child. I got word that he was arrested for what he’s done to Claire and they are building a strong case.” I freeze as I hear the news. Surely, they would

Have my eyes deceived me? Claire is wearing her wedding rings and Leonardo informs me of their marriage continuance. He loved her and he let her go and she came back. A true definition of love in my eyes. We continue to the dinner table and I notice how Claire excused herself after having just sat down. I found it a little odd but chose to ignore it - until I saw Elena excused herself after her as well. “Am I missing something?” I ask Leo as we wait for both ladies to return. “Like what?” He seemed genuinely confused by my question. “Well Claire went to the bathroom and then Elena forgot the wine? Seems like a ruse, no?” Were they planning or hiding something? “Oh, I’m sure Elena is just wanting to make things perfect for Claire. She’s extremely happy to have her home.” He was blinded by love. Shortly after, Elena comes back with wine and glasses. She places and pours three glasses. “Claire’s not going to have a glass? She loves wine.” I pout as I express this to Elena. “Ms. C
