The Billionaire’s Angel Lost のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Chloe Davis stood there.She saw me and flashed an innocent, angelic smile."You must be Serena. I'm Chloe." Her voice was soft and sweet. "Finally nice to meet the legendary supermodel."I didn't answer. I just glared at her.Richard practically sprinted out of the living room. He saw Chloe. His harsh face instantly softened into a loving father."Chloe, sweetheart, you must be exhausted," he fawned. "I already had them clear out Serena's custom closet for you. It has the best light for your rehab.""My closet?" My fingers tightened around the handle of my suitcase."It's Chloe's now," Richard announced without even looking up. "You can move to the guest room upstairs. You're getting married soon anyway. You don't need that much space."Eleanor glided out of the living room gracefully. She linked arms with Richard. The mother and daughter exchanged a knowing smile.A cold laugh escaped my lips. "No need."I turned and went upstairs.Thirty minutes later, I dragged two massive suitcase

Once the party officially started, I truly saw how attentive Victor was to Chloe.He pulled out her chair. He brought her champagne. Her pearl earring almost slipped. He gently fixed it for her.His fingertips brushed her delicate earlobe. It looked so natural. Like he'd done it a million times.I never got that treatment.In the two years we were tangled together, Victor never did these trivial but tender things for me.I thought it was just his personality. Cold. Aloof. Above expressing affection like that.Now I understood. He just didn't want to do it for me.I sat alone in the corner. I sipped my hard liquor. I listened to Chloe talk elegantly with the guests.She talked about her rehab in Paris. Her longing for New York. Every word was captivating."Look how Victor protects her. He's like a guardian angel," someone whispered nearby. "They're definitely getting back together."The hand holding my glass trembled."Everyone! We will now begin our charity auction and product launch!"

I woke up from a nap. I felt a sharp sting in my arm.I looked down. The IV was backing up. A red line of blood steadily climbed up the clear tube.I pressed the call button.A nurse hurried in. She frowned when she saw the tube. "Why was no one watching you? Where's your boyfriend?""He's not my boyfriend," I said calmly. "He had an emergency and left.""How long ago?" the nurse asked while expertly changing the needle.I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 2 AM. Victor left at 7 PM. Seven hours ago."A long time ago."The nurse sighed. She shook her head. "That's how these rich guys are. They put on a good show. But when it really matters, they're nowhere to be found."After she left, I couldn't fall back asleep.Dawn broke. I decided to go for a walk.I dragged my IV pole into the hallway. I overheard two nurses whispering."That girl on the top floor is so lucky. The Sterling CEO bought out the entire penthouse floor. He flew in a private Swiss medical team overnight. He turne

Chloe's screams echoed backstage.The staff froze in shock. Some started screaming in panic. Others scrambled for their phones to call an ambulance.I coldly flicked the glass dust off my fingers. I stood up straight."Don't you ever disrespect my mother again." I looked down at Chloe. She was rolling on the floor. She clutched her bleeding arm and sobbed. "Remember that."I turned and walked away. The chaotic noise faded behind me.I walked toward the exit with steady steps. Like nothing happened.I reached the door. Victor blocked my path.He held Chloe's meds and a glass of warm water. He clearly just got back.Seeing me, Victor's face was as dark as stone."What did you do?" he demanded.I glanced at the pills in his hand. I let out a bitter, humorless laugh. "You went to get her meds?""I asked you what you did!" Victor's voice grew colder and harsher."She put my mother's necklace on a dog like a collar. She insulted my mother. So I taught her a lesson. She smashed into the case,

Kneeling in front of the computer. Staring at the files. I took out my phone and dialed Richard Vance."Dad," I started. My voice was hoarse. I choked back tears."What is it? I thought you were cutting ties with me," his voice was cold and surprised."I just have one question. Three years ago, did Victor offer to teach me finance instead of you asking him?"The silence on the other end was telling enough."How did you know?"I closed my eyes. "So it's true.""Victor gave me a billion-dollar tech patent just to own you," Richard's voice carried ruthless realism. "I don't know how you pissed him off. But I figured letting the Sterling Group break your arrogant pride would only benefit the family. So I agreed."I hung up the phone.I didn't even know I had any hope left until that moment. It finally shattered completely.Victor approached me. Slept with me. Controlled me. All for revenge.For Chloe. For his empire and his AI test.I was finally completely exhausted. I wiped my tears. I s
