BILLIONAIRE'S FORSAKEN WIFE RETURNS: His Fight For Redemptio의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

A woman stepped out like she owned the moment. She wore a fitted, elegant outfit with oversized sunglasses Her hair falling perfectly over her shoulders.Whispers started almost immediately.“Is that?”“It is…”Octavia turned at the sound of the murmurs. Her eyes widened in shock.“Veronica?!” Without thinking, she rushed forward.Veronica barely had time to take off her sunglasses before Octavia threw her arms around her.“Octavia!,” Veronica laughed softly, hugging her back just as tightly. “Miss me that much?”“I can’t believe you’re here!” Octavia pulled back, scanning her like she might disappear. “I thought you were in Paris for Fashion Week!”Veronica slid her sunglasses up onto her head, revealing her eyes.“I was. I left early.”Octavia blinked. “You left Paris Fashion Week? For her?” Veronica nodded toward Seraphina, who was busy playing nearby. “Of course.” Then her gaze shifted back to Octavia, softening just slightly. “And for you.”Veronica stepped closer, her voice lowe

Nurses and residents nearby turned to look at Octavia.“Dr. Lancaster, are you okay?” one of them asked.Octavia straightened almost immediately. She forced a smile. “Yes, I’m fine. Just a little clumsy this morning. Sorry about that" she bent to pick up the papers.But her fingers weren’t as steady as they looked. They were trembling slightly. She gathered everything and turned to her patient."Your vitals are stabilizing, Mrs. Thompson. You'll be discharged soon. That's all for today" she said."Thank you Dr. Lancaster" Octavia forced another smile trying to look as composed as ever. The moment she walked out of the room, she rushed to her office, closed the door behind her, and locked it.She grabbed a pillow from the bed and screamed into it as loud as she could."What is wrong with me?!”She pulled the pillow away and breathed hard. “I kissed him? I actually kissed Declan? After everything he did to me? After all the pain? I must be mad. I must be completely mad. It doesn’t mean

Declan sat in his office, staring at the same contract for the fifth time. The words blurred together. He couldn’t focus. All he could think about was the kiss. The way Octavia’s lips had crashed against his. The heat. The softness. The way her body had pressed into him for those few seconds. His heart raced every time the memory replayed. His body felt alive, burning with a need he hadn’t felt in years.He ran a hand through his hair and muttered, “Get it together, Declan. It didn’t mean anything to her.”But it meant everything to him.He tried to read the contract again. Ten minutes later, he gave up. He stood up, grabbed his keys, and headed for the door. He needed a drink, something to clear his head before heading home.He drove through the private gates of one of the most exclusive members-only lounges in the city. A place where billionaires, politicians, and celebrities disappear when life gets tough. Valets moved quickly the moment Declan's car pulled up. One of them opened h

The next day, by evening Octavia met the man Veronica had set her up with at a quiet rooftop restaurant. His name was Marcus. He was tall, well-dressed, and had kind eyes. He stood up when she arrived and smiled warmly.“Octavia, right?” he said, pulling out her chair. “Veronica told me you’re a doctor. I’m Marcus. It’s really nice to meet you.”Octavia sat down and smiled politely. “Nice to meet you too, Marcus. Thank you for agreeing to this on short notice.”They ordered drinks and food. Marcus asked questions that actually interested him.“So, what made you become a neurologist?” he asked, leaning forward. “It must be intense work.”Octavia relaxed a little. “I like helping people who can’t help themselves. Brain injuries, strokes… it’s challenging, but when you see someone walk out of the hospital after you thought they wouldn’t, it’s worth it.”Marcus nodded. “That’s amazing. I’m in finance, but I could never do what you do. Tell me more about your daughter. Veronica mentioned y

Octavia woke up the next morning with sunlight streaming through the curtains. She was naked, tangled in Declan’s sheets, his arm heavy around her waist. For a second, she lay still, feeling the warmth of his body against hers. Then reality hit her like cold water.She slept with him. She had fucked Declan.Her body still tinged with the memory of how good it felt, but her mind screamed at her. She carefully slipped out of his arms, moving slowly so she wouldn’t wake him. Declan stirred but stayed asleep, breathing deep and even.Octavia stood beside the bed and looked at him. His face was relaxed in sleep, hair messy, chest rising and falling. She slapped her own cheek lightly, once, twice.“Wake up, Octavia. What the hell were you thinking?!"She let out a breath "You finally got the release you needed. That’s all it was. Just sex. Nothing more. You still hate him. You still resent him for everything he did.”She quickly gathered her clothes from the floor, dressed in silence, and l
