All Chapters of Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

GAVINI'm not even shocked about all this. Remember the downside of being a public figure? Yeah, this is one of them. I don't recall seeing anyone record it, but again, I was too focused on something else, to keep tabs of the surroundings.There's going to be a lot of speculation about it for the next few days. I want to sit back on this one, just hoping no one would come for Demi.“My management staff will take care of that. For now, we should deal with important business,” I say to Demi and Edward.“But they're still going to come for me,” Demi points out. “I don't think it's a good idea to proceed with the purchase,” she adds.I turn to look up at her. I'm seated while she stands by my side.“That's not what you want.” I tell her. “Besides, this is a great opportunity and I want you to have it.”“But, Gavin… This is going to cause more and more drama. I'm sure Janelle has already heard of it, and I don't know what she's going to cook this time.”I take her hand. “And we'll figure i

DEMI“Guess who you're looking at,” I say to my mother, excitedly when I get home. She narrows her eyes skeptically. “Uhm, my daughter, I assume. Or are you an imposter?”I burst out laughing. “No mum,” I say, approaching her, leaning against the kitchen counter.“You're looking at the newest store owner in town,” I break the news, almost squealing. My mother is still confused, rightfully so.Okay, we'll have to sit down for this one.I take her hand and lead her to the living room.“Demi, what’s going on?” She asks, now more confused than before.I start explaining once we're settled on one of the couches.“Remember when you asked if he bought me the whole store in regards to the number of clothes I had?” I ask.“Is your sole purpose to confuse the hell out of me tonight?” She asks.“Okay, long story short, your words were true. Just that you didn't know it at the time.”“What are you saying, Demi?”“What I'm saying, mother, is that Gavin bought me the whole store, literally. So, yo

DEMILaila puts the phone away, insisting she doesn't want anything to do with him, also pleading with me not to talk to Ernest. I'd really love to put that man in his place. No one should be soft to him. But again, Laila's safety and mental health matters. If I picked the call, he might come for her since he knows my address.This is where Gavin should come in. I could call him over, but that would be too much drama for Laila in one night. Besides, Gavin had promised to send someone to watch over us.So, we'll just lock the door well and deal with this tomorrow, when Laila is less terrified.She calms down a while later, but we promise to file charges the next morning, which also takes a while to convince her…And I'm definitely going to talk to Gavin about this. That's a guarantee. She's his employee too and he'll know the best way to deal with that fucker, Ernest.While we eat dinner, the table is silent. No one brings up the topic. I'm afraid of triggering her, as she might end up

GAVINI walk into my office and everything is just the way I left yesterday, which I find strange. Demi hasn't set anything up for me?No coffee, no schedule, nothing to sign. There's not a single thing that's ready.Did she decide to quit? My stupid thoughts lead me into searching for a resignation letter among my documents. She didn't say anything about resigning last night. We've been good. Unless, of course, someone got to her overnight. Why did I rush to that thought? Something must be wrong with my brain.I check her office, which should have been my first action, but she's not in. That's strange.Demi's usually early. Maybe she decided to go to the store first.Which gets me thinking.We hadn't discussed the fate of her job now that she owns a store. Would she still want to be my secretary and balance between the two? I told myself I'd find her a perfect assistant, so that she wouldn't be overwhelmed, and also teach her about the important rules of business.I'd still want to

DEMII get to work immediately after Gavin leaves. However it's hard to focus when you've been tricked by someone you lowered your guard for.Laila is a snake. I can't believe I fell for her trick that easily. Would you blame me though? Everything was so convincing. Her words, her expression, her look. She was a complete mess. And I think that was the grand plan. To make me believe her.It's the way she and Ernest conversed like there was nothing wrong. Maybe Laila knew about the drug test, and that's why she schemed the whole plan to sabotage me. She wasn't trying to make me late for work. Maybe that was a bonus. She's trying to get me fired.At least that's the only thing that makes sense.But I'm still confused as to why she hates me this much. I left the man for her. I thought she'd be at peace, but it seems the couple has taken a hobby into making my life a living hell.Is there something bigger they're gaining? Part of it still doesn't make sense.I decide to focus on my work, n
