All Chapters of The Billionaire's Obsession: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

~Eliza~A few minutes later, Luca and I were sitting on one of the bales of hay inside the barn.At least, I was. Luca, on the other hand, was anxiously pacing the length of the barn. I was content to let him stew in his thoughts, but the movement was making me dizzy, though.I blew out another sigh, possibly my tenth in less than ten minutes. Luca finally paused his dizzying movements and stopped before me.I cocked my head slightly and stared at his face. “You can start now, you know,” I offered calmly.Luca let out a loud sigh. “What are you even doing here?” he asked in an irritated voice.I raised a brow and spluttered in outrage. “Wh-what?”“Why are you angry? I should be the one pissed by your lies!” I snapped.Luca had the grace to look ashamed, but I wasn’t even close to being finished yet.“You have the gall to stand there and make demands when you kept the truth from me for months.”“Not once did it occur to you to tell me you knew my grandmother,” I said coldly.At that, L

~Eliza~After spending one week at my grandmother’s place, I never wanted to leave.If I could, I would stay here forever, basking in her abundant love and care. Even though she occasionally forgot who I was, she remained kind to me. It was almost as though in her heart, she always remembered me.I still cried and wished dearly that things were different, but I also knew it was out of my control. There was nothing I could do except cherish the little time I had left with her.But aside from that, things were pretty good. Luca even introduced me to his siblings and a few other members of the family.At times, that part was hard. They all had inside jokes that I couldn’t comprehend and I felt like an outsider on more than one occasion.However, thanks to Luca, I sort of got along with everyone else. They didn’t particularly seem to care that I had been incommunicado for years. They were just glad to have another person join them.And there were a lot of them, ranging from siblings to pa

~Atlas~My thoughts swirled around my head in a frenzy.Darkness rushed past me in a blur as I tore through the deserted highway.Wait for me, Eliza. Let me explain. Please!I swallowed hard and slammed my fist on the steering wheel as helplessness surged in my chest. I desperately pressed my foot on the gas pedal.Please, Eliza, I can explain. Just wait.For the first time since I hatched this crazy plan, I realized how foolish I had been. For years, my only thought had been on how to make Eliza pay for her treachery.I believed she had deliberately ended our relationship just to latch onto my nephew. But how wrong I had been, sorely, horribly wrong.And now, my mistake has come back to bite me in the ass. A muscle ticked in my jaw as my thoughts drifted to the day I learnt about Daniel’s relationship with Eliza.Now, I wished with all my heart that I hadn’t heard it. But back then, I felt ecstatic that I had finally gotten my chance to make things right.***The man I had put in ch

~Atlas~The moment the door opened, a relieved breath shuddered through my body.I darted forward and gathered Eliza into my arms, my heart slamming furiously against my ribcage. I barely noticed the knife that had clattered to the ground or her unfinished outburst.None of that mattered at that moment.Her body remained still and unyielding in my hold, but I couldn't bring myself to let go. All I could think about was the dread that had clutched my insides on the drive back here.It had taken a great deal of pleading to convince Luca to tell me where Eliza was. At first, I was happy that she went back to our house, but the next moment, I realized she could have gone to pack her stuff.The abject terror that had swamped at the thought of coming back to an empty house, a place without Eliza in it. I never wanted to feel that way ever again.But even though she was still here, I knew I had a long way to go to get her forgiveness for my stupidity.Eliza seemed to regain her senses and st

~Eliza~I stared at the folder in my hand like it would disappear if I so much as blinked.It was done. I was now the largest shareholder of my company. I basically held a higher authority than Daniel.Tears welled up in my eyes until the folder turned into a blurry, shaky blob. They silently rolled down my cheeks as a shaky breath of relief slipped out of my mouth.I could hardly believe it. After all these months of struggling to stay sane and hopeful, victory was finally very, very close.As if from a distance, I heard Atlas’ lawyer, Mr Dartmouth, talking, but I could barely hear him above the loud thudding of my heart.Then a heavy arm draped over my shoulders and I was tucked into a hard, but warm side. I buried my nose in the muscled chest and deeply inhaled Atlas’ heady scent.Gradually, I calmed down, losing some of the trembles that were racing through my body. “I’ll take my leave now, sir, ma’am,” Mr Dartmouth said and Atlas murmured something to him in return.By the time
