All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE’S BETRAYAL: Married To My Ex’s Brother: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

River’s POV"Inmate 304, you've been released." I heard the cold voice of the warder, who had made my life a living hell in this prison. I’m very sure she was sent by the devil to punish me, and every time I hear her voice, I get disgusted.My face slowly rose from the worn-out concrete floor, my eyes heavy with exhaustion. I’ve been feeling nauseous for months now, but I brushed it off as exhaustion from prison life.Nine months of hard labour, endless nights spent on a thin mattress, and the weight of betrayal hung heavy on my shoulders. My fiancé Rowan, who was also my boss, was the reason I had ended up here.He had promised to bail me out after two months after I agreed to cover up his crimes, but I guess it didn’t just work out, and I ended up serving 9 months.Silence filled the void where his promises once lay; my heart still ached from the wounds of his abandonment. With a groan, I pushed myself up, my joints creaking in protest.My legs trembled beneath me, threatening to co

River’s POVAs soon as I moved back and opened my mouth to scream for help, his hand shot forward again and covered it tightly, silencing me before any sound could leave my lips. “I swear I’m not here to hurt you.” He said.I struggled hard, hitting and twisting my body, trying to get free, but his grip was too strong.

His eyes were too calm for someone who just broke into a woman’s house.“Be silent, River,” he whispered into my ear, his voice low but firm. “I’ll only let you go if you don’t shout.” I nodded slowly, fear tightening around my throat like a rope.He waited for a moment, then finally l

River’s POVI sat at the far end of the long glass table, facing Rowan across the room. The boardroom was filled with quiet tension, the kind that settled deep in your chest.Around us, the other representatives and board members murmured softly, flipping through notes and tapping on tablets. Rowan kept glancing at me, his jaw tight, his eyes sharp with that familiar sternness I once mistook for passion.But I wasn’t afraid of him anymore. Whatever power he once had over me had shattered the day I chose myself. I sat still, my fingers loosely laced together on the table, my back straight, my heart steady.I wasn’t here to crumble. I was here to win.A voice cut through the quiet, pulling me from my thoughts. “Rowan Rune, you have the floor now to present your pitch for us,” the president announced.Rowan stood, smooth and confident, the way he always did when he believed the world belonged to him. He walked to the podium, his designer suit pressed to perfection, the projector lighting
