Todos os capítulos de The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal: Capítulo 331 - Capítulo 340

My long awaited escape was slowly coming into view. In just four days, there would be a severe tropical storm. This would surely trip the power for a few good minutes allowing me to fit the first access vent before the generator kicks on. Once I’m inside, I could rest easy, knowing that I would be undetectable. I decide to read over the blueprints one last time for good measure. Then I’d dispose of them secretly through the toilet to ensure no one is the wiser of my escape. Soon, Claire would be permanently out of the picture. Leo will be mine as he should be and his motherless child will be the only misfortune in my plan but I could raise the twerp to be an asset. Surely, if the child loves me then Leo will have no choice but to kiss the ground I walk on. He’d never be able to leave me then. “Your delusion is greater than your plan.” My mother mocks as she’s seated on the bed next to me. “I’d really love it if you’d just say something nice for once. Or better yet, say nothing and d

I look over at Leo as Claire finishes tending to the boys. He nods in agreement to my silent question.“Claire, Mason thinks that we should have a police officer here for security during the storm - as a precaution.” I sit silently as Leo starts. I watch as Claire seems withdrawn.“Charlotte is coming, isn’t she?” She asks coldly as she stills.“We’re not sure but we’d rather not take any chances.” I add softly.“When will her charges reach arraignment?” Leo interrupts. I knew what he was trying to do but unfortunately, Charlotte could not be moved to the county jail while under admission for mental health evaluation or treatment. “Her first arraignment for what she did to Claire along with your previous partners begin tomorrow. I did take the liberty of speaking to the judge this morning and he was no interest in postponing the hearing. But there’s one thing you should both know.” I watch as their eyes remained fixated on me, waiting for my revelation. I felt almost guilty for havin

Against my better judgement, I go back upstairs after walking Mason out. I know that entering our bedroom meant that I would some explaining to do. So I step into the room as quietly and carefully as possible. I sit down and decide to discuss everything with her. “Why do you want to go so badly?” It was a genuine question. Claire was never one for confrontation, especially when it came to Charlotte. I can remember how she’d squeak when she’d ask me not to go and how harshly I’d responded to her pleas. “I want her to know that I’m not backing down. What she did to me and our family is sickening and I want her to know how determined I am to hold her accountable.” Claire truly changed. She had grown the confidence to speak up for herself while staying with Jasmine but this was different. Having the boys has given her a sense of bravery. She wasn’t doing this for her - I can see it now. She’s doing this for them. She wants to protect them and prove that she can face the difficult thing

I’m shocked to see Claire’s name illuminating my phone at nine o’clock. I look over at my fiancé sleeping peacefully with our daughter and decide to make a silent exit to the living room before answering.“Hey Claire! Is everything alright?” I ask quickly as I sit down on the couch. I hold my breath until I hear her respond.“Hey, I’m doing okay. How are you? How’s Starla and the baby?” She sounds calm and that alone allows me breathe.“They’re doing great. Starla is great at mothering and our little Scarlett is a dream. She’s so peaceful and kind. How are the boys?” I had gotten notice of her pregnancy and delivery by text and was asked to keep the information to myself. It never felt appropriate to call or text but now that she’s called, I wanted to know more.“They’re doing great. They’re only hitting three weeks so it’s been an interesting experience so far.”“I’m glad to hear it. I can’t wait to meet them.” The thought of both of us living healthy lives and having families warmed

I can feel Leo’s eyes watching my every move as I get ready to leave for the courthouse. It felt almost like a silent request for me to stay home and forget about the arraignment and Charlotte altogether. I grab my bag, filling it with my milk pump and storage containers. In the event that this took longer than expected, I wanted to make sure I didn’t lose a drop of my milk for the boys. “I’m about to head out.” I say calmly as I fix my hair in the mirror. “Are you sure about this?” I could hear the caution in my husbands’ tone. He wanted nothing more than for me to reconsider but my mind was made up. I needed to have some sort of control and face my fears. “Unfortunately, I am.” I say as I walk over softly and kiss him softly. I then switch my focus to my boys in their bassinet. I lean down and kiss each of them gently. “Mommy will be back soon. Be nice to your dad.” I whisper softly as I touch their cheeks. “Is Matthew going with you?” His hope that I would reconsider had died an
