All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Elena’s POVSunlight flooded through the window as I opened my eyes. For a moment, I was disoriented. Where was I? What time was it?Then it all flooded back to me.The police had come tearing into the warehouse driveway. They’d arrested Lydia on the spot, handcuffing her and hauling her out of the warehouse. I told them I had evidence I wanted to submit. So I went with Leon and Lucian to the police station. A police officer took my official statement and I handed over the necklace with the recording of Lydia’s confession.Both Lucian and Leon were waiting for me when I finished. They stood up in unison, concerned looks on their faces.“Is everything okay?” Leon asked.“Did you tell them everything you needed to?” Lucian asked.“Evrything is fine,” I assured them both.“Well, what now?” Leon asked.“They’ll want statements from both of you,” I explained. “But it can wait. I’ll also need a good lawyer, since I want to press charges against Lydia.”“I have a lawyer,” Lucian said.“I ha

Lucian’s POVThe entire dinner, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was breathtaking, in a simple blue blouse and waffle pants. She looked refreshed after her long nap, and her cheeks had the rosiness back in them.The Elena that sat across from me was a far cry from the Elena who had been in that warehouse room with Lydia. Elena was so brave though, much braver than most women I knew. Even though I’d destroyed her life, she’s managed to pick up all the pieces and rebuild herself.She was like a Phoenix, a magnificent bird who had regrown out of her own ashes into something even more beautiful than before.She sipped her wine elegantly and chewed her steak slowly. The satisfied smile on her face told me that she was enjoying her meal very much. Leon also was, judging by the three helpings of potatoes.I wasn’t exactly thrilled that Leon was here. I would have preferred if he’d just gone back to his hotel and left us well enough alone. But I knew that he and Elena had a business relat

Elena’s POVThe fight had come out of nowhere. That’s how I felt. One moment, we were eating a nice dinner. And the next?The men were rolling around on the ground, punching each other in the face.I was devastated. I knew they were fighting over me. But this was the last thing I wanted. Glass shattered, the table broke, the wine spilled. I watched it unfold, horrified by what I was seeing.The sound of their fists hitting each other cracked through the otherwise silent night. They yelled profanities at one another. They were like savage beasts.I would expect this from two men who grew up on the streets. Or at a skeezy bar somewhere after too many cheap beers.But both of these men were CEOs of highly successful companies. This simply wasn’t how high society behaved. I was mortified and embarrassed for both of them.Lunging at Lucian, I tried to pull him off. But I wasn’t strong enough. So I did the only thing I could think of.I begged them to stop.Thankfully, that worked. They fin

Elena’s POVLeon walked towards me. But he took one look at my face and stopped.“I’ve already lost, haven't I?” he said.My chest squeezed. I really hated this. I wished he’d never had feelings for me. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt Leon. He’d saved me. Bought me plastic surgery. Gave me a job and a new life.If I could have loved him, I would.“How did you know?” I whispered.“Your face,” he said. “You might not think so, but I know you very well, Elena. I knew the moment I saw your face that you’d already chosen Lucian.”His voice was low. He was doing his best to hide his heartbreak, but it wasn’t working. I could see right through the thin façade of a smile.The clouds broke just then and moonlight flooded down. It hit his eyes.“You’re so handsome,” I said. “I don’t if I’ve ever told you that before. But you really are.”I meant it. He was, with his dark hair and bright eyes. He was shorter than Lucian, but more muscular in build.“You haven’t,” he said, his lips tuggin

Elena’s POVLucian was waiting for us back on the patio. He’d cleaned up the glass, and tried to fix the table. It was still a little lopsided, but it was usable. He’d also relit the candles.He was sitting on a chair, his hands wrapped around a wine glass. When he saw us coming, he looked up, a terrified look in his eyes.“Well?” he said, standing up so fast he almost spilled his wine. “How was the talk?”“It was fine,” Leon replied. “But sit back down. We have something we want to talk to you about.”With a perplexed look, Lucian sat down back down. He eyed us both suspiciously, but I shook my head.I knew what he was thinking. He thought I’d chosen Leon and that’s what we wanted to talk to him about. I would tell him that wasn’t the case. After we discussed the business deal. Leon was planning on leaving as soon as the conversation was done. I wanted to tell Lucian in private that I’d made my decision.“This is about business,” I said. “Not about this little love triangle.”Leon h
