All Chapters of The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

After a few hours of trying to convince Charlotte to file charges to no avail, I leave to visit Claire at Leonardo’s. Charlotte would be released and transported back to the mental facility and assessed for any additional mental disorders as she just suffered a traumatic incident. I drive in silence, thinking about this Julia woman. What would push her to defend Claire to this extent? Was there something she witnessed or experienced that could have triggered her response towards Charlotte? I try looking up some things while sitting in Leo’s driveway and I find what looks to be correlation. Charlotte’s accomplice who confessed to her crimes was Francisco and it seems that Francisco was Julia’s fiancee. It also seems that they share a child. Could Charlotte have taken him from her? I shake the idea and hop out of my car and head towards the front door. I raise my hand to knock when I see Jasmine open the door.“Oh, hi! I was just about to get Claire’s gift from my car. Care to help me?”

The night went on well. Claire was happy to have made it through her procedure unharmed, Leo was relieved to roll up his sleeves and relax, Nathan was relieved to have peace and Jasmine was comfortably cuddling at my side.“Leo, does your arm feel okay?” Jasmine asks as she seems the honeycomb patterned bruising on his forearm. It was an interesting pattern but thallium was a unique poison - that’s what the doctor said as an explanation.“It feels sore but it’s healing as expected. The pattern may be permanent - the doctors aren’t sure. They’ve never dealt with thallium poisoning first-hand.” He shrugs as he continues to rub Claire’s belly.“Oh. Well in that case, it’s a beautiful pattern. I might just need a photo or two to use it for my next collection.” Leo lets out a short.“Have at it.” He muses. “So I have an announcement. Claire and I had discussed getting a new home for us to raise our sons in so I had reached out to a realtor and there was a beautiful home just three doors do

The idea of sleeping alone was tormenting me as I went over the electronic documents for the new house in my office. I felt the need to keep busy and be productive whenever Claire wasn’t around so I dove into work and projects to distract myself. This project was exponentially more important though. The sooner this house was closed on and furnished, the sooner I could continue my life with Claire and I could not afford to let Charlotte ruin this again.I go over the last document when I see my phone ring. To my surprise, it’s my mother calling. I hadn’t spoken to her since I disowned her and my sister Emelia for demanding that I abandon my wife. I hesitate before answering.“This is Leo.” I answer sternly.“Darling, there’s no need to answer so coldly to your mother. How are you?” Her pompous voice fills my ears.“I’m doing fine, mother. To what do I owe the pleasure?” I roll my eyes in silence as I wait for her response.“Well, I’d seen the blogs about Claire’s presence at your side

I turn in bed to find that I’m alone. Claire was at Jasmine’s for safety and I went to bed alone. I check my phone to see my realtor has just messaged me.‘Good morning Leonardo, your offer was graciously accepted. I have advised the seller that you’d like to expedite the purchasing process. They have agreed to expedite and we will be closing in just four days. Please let know if this is not suitable for you so that I can correct it.’I smile at the response as that meant in just four days, I could hire a team to move and complete furnishings the home and have Claire back at my side. I decide to head over to Jasmine’s to share the news with Claire and see what she thought about meeting with my mother for lunch. It felt only right to allow Claire to make that decision.It takes about an hour to get ready and head over to Jasmine’s to see my wife. I enter the guest code on the gate keypad and enter as it opens. I then park the car and walk up to the door and am about to knock when Jasmi

I stayed behind at Jasmine’s to wait for Claire. Mason said the course would take about two hours so I thought I’d work on the dinner arrangements and wait here rather than come back later. Jasmine went for a nap so I sat in the living room, watching the news patiently.“Hey man, didn’t know you were here.” I hear Nathan say as he enters the living room and sits down.“Just waiting for Claire to get back. How are you?”“I’m good. Thanks for asking. How’s everything going with the new house?” He asks as he settles in the recliner next to me.“Should be ready by the beginning of next week.” “That’s great. How is Claire feeling about it?” He knew something I didn’t.“She’s excited.” I lie. “Okay, I know I’m not your favorite person but I have something to tell you. When Claire went to her room last night, I went to check on her and she was crying. She said she wants normalcy and she’s scared. She doesn’t feel like she’s ever going to be safe.” I listen to Nathan with wide eyes and he re
