Married to My Best friend's Billionaire Ex のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Chapter 30{Katlyn’s POV}Smoke practically poured from Nairovi’s nose as she stormed out of the living room and headed straight for the bedroom Hayden and I shared.I watched everyone’s faces one by one. Each of them reacted differently. Some were laughing under their breath, some shook their heads, others smirked, while a few remained serious. And me? I felt pity.I hated that feeling. I did not want to pity her, but I could not stop myself.I let out a long sigh. When would everything finally fall back into place?Elly Rose could not stand the boredom anymore, so she decided to go out and wander around. Hayden insisted that Zax go with her so she would not be alone, and Zax agreed without much resistance. We did not have enough money to go anywhere fancy or buy anything we wanted. All our bank access had been cut off.I had already given my remaining money to Sylina, and I still owed Zax a large amount that I had no idea how I would ever repay.We were like helpless children, comple

Chapter 32Katlyn’s POVI had no reason strong enough to give him. Nothing that could justify trying to throw away everything I had.“When something happens to me… Nairovi is the one I run to,” I said softly. “She used to be.”My lips curved into a forced smile as I looked at Hayden, trying to hold my emotions together.“It felt like she was the only one I had. Whenever I was sad or hurting, even if I tried to hide it, I never had to explain anything to her. She knew me too well. Even without words, she was always the first to figure out how to help me, or how to make me smile again.”I sat beside Hayden, leaving a small space between us.“I know my reason isn’t enough,” I admitted quietly. “But in my heart, she is still my friend, Hayden. And I just want her to remember that I am still the same person to her, even now.”I turned to look at him.Hayden stood up.“Everything changes, Katlyn. Even friendships,” he said seriously. “You can’t keep sacrificing yourself for people who no lon

Chapter 34{Katlyn’s POV}“Sylina?” I reprimanded her.She stormed out, saying she was going grocery shopping. She stopped by her and Josiah’s room to leave the money before leaving.“What did you do to her?” Josiah asked Nairovi, frowning.Nairovi only shrugged and answered in a bored tone. “How would I know? I didn’t do anything.”I was sure she had said something unpleasant.She turned and walked back to Hayden. “If you need anything, just tell me. I’m right here by your side.”Nairovi caressed Hayden’s hand, but his face showed no reaction.Hayden glanced in my direction and stared for a few seconds, drawing everyone’s attention to me. Slowly, Nairovi’s gaze followed, serious, though I could see her breathing deeply as if she were holding something back.Nairovi released his hand and sat beside him.She took Hayden’s hand and placed it on her belly.“Daddy’s here, baby,” she said, speaking to her tummy while holding his hand there.I felt a strange ache in my chest, something I cou

Chapter 36{Katlyn’s POV}“Alright, that’s fine. I’ll inform my coworker as well so that in case I’m not on duty, she’ll be the one to hand it over to you,” the woman explained clearly.Josiah looked at us, as if carefully analyzing whether the woman was telling the truth or not.“Okay, thank you,” Josiah said before ending the call.Nairovi sat down, and Elly followed.“The ones who kidnapped and shot me were the ones who found my phone,” I said seriously.I knew it was them.“How can you be so sure? Just because of the description?” Nairovi asked sarcastically.I didn’t know what she was trying to imply, but I didn’t care what she thought in a situation like this.Zax kept glancing at me. We discussed everything—what to do, what our next move should be. Nairovi and Elly disagreed with my claim. They said it didn’t seem likely, that maybe I was accusing the wrong people. In the end, they decided that I would be the one to retrieve the phone myself the next day.I had been gone for al

Chapter 38{Katlyn’s POV}I forcefully pulled Hayden’s hand away from my arm and looked him straight in the eye.“I didn’t start this!” I shouted at his face.I turned to Nairovi and saw her smiling, as if she were enjoying everything. My eyes widened in disbelief. Hayden stared at me, then slowly looked back to where Nairovi stood.“She’s lying! I was getting water when she suddenly grabbed my hair and slapped me!” Nairovi accused.I placed a hand on my waist and took a deep breath to keep myself from exploding at her lies.“Is that true, Katlyn?” Hayden asked, seeking confirmation.“Believe her if you want, Hayden. The two of you can go together,” I said coldly, right to his face.I turned my back and walked away, but Hayden caught my hand to stop me. He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. I raised both hands in shock, my mouth falling open.“I’m just teasing you. I believe you,” he whispered into my ear while hugging me.I knew Nairovi could see everything.“What are you d
