Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 61
Valerie As I sat there in the upscale cafe, occupying a window seat with a view of the bustling street outside, I couldn't shake off the heavy weight of regret that hung over me like a dark cloud. This wasn't just any cafe; it was the kind where reservations were made months in advance, where the ambiance was refined, and where money spoke volumes. But none of that mattered to me in that moment. All I wanted was a chance to speak to Val, to make things right between us, or at least to let her know about Laura's condition. I glanced around the cafe, taking in the elegant decor and the laughter of diners enjoying their meals. A young couple passed by the window, their laughter and easy camaraderie reminding me of happier times with Val. For a brief moment, I allowed myself to indulge in memories of our short-lived happiness, of the moments when we were truly content in each other's company. But those moments were fleeting, replaced once again by the heavy burden of guilt that weighed
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 62
Valerie As I sat at my desk, trying to focus on my work, my mind was buzzing with a chaotic mix of emotions and thoughts. The conversation with Shay still echoed in my ears, her voice filled with excitement and determination. She seemed convinced that she had a solution to my problems, a way to finally bring the truth to light and find some semblance of satisfaction in the mess that my life had become. "I'm so fucking glad you did that, Val," Shay's voice rang through the phone, filled with an energy that was both infectious and intimidating. "Me too, I couldn't fucking go through it anymore. It was becoming fucking torturous," I replied, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders just by acknowledging the decision I had made. "I declare this as one of the best decisions of your life, Val," Shay exclaimed, her excitement palpable even through the phone line. "Thank you, but it still doesn't satisfy me. I think satisfaction can't come to me until the truth is out," I confessed, the wo
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 63
Valerie When I reached the cafe Shay was already there, but alone. Didn't she say she wants me to meet someone? Shrugging that thought away, I settled down beside her. She was busy reading something on her phone, that she didn't acknowledge my presence. She was too engrossed in her phone, and at that, I smiled like a cherished cat. Have you ever poked a person who is too engrossed into something? I have, and it's hilarious. Very slowly my finger travelled towards her waist. I was just this close to poking her, when she scared the hell out of me. "Don't even think about it?" She said, making me jump in my seat. My breath hitched in fear, and my hand rested over my heart. God, my own trick got used on me. "You scared me, Shay," I whisper- yelled. I was sure that I might have gained the attention of a few other people in the cafe. Shay smirked, making me smile. "I knew you would do something like this, so I learned a lesson from the last time, and made you believe that I was too bus
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 64
Valerie "I will let you publish it." My words loud and clear. "But I don't want mine or Aiden's name to be revealed. As much as I would like to destroy, him I don't want to. He was better than Drew, and even if he was a jerk? at least he told me the truth. You will write about him, but not reveal his name, just like mine, and to make the story better and bring more destruction to Drew's so clean image. I will give you the non-disclosure agreements that he had his mistresses sign. However, I would like to know one thing, Arnold. How can I trust you? What if you are one of Drew's men and all you told me was a story." He smiled. "Val, he isn't like that," Shay intruded. "No, it's alright. She is right. You are a scorned woman, Val. If I was in your place, I wouldn't have trusted myself. I came prepared for it, though." He took a folder out of his bag, and placed it in front of me. "If this story doesn't appear on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper, you will own everything I have.
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 65
Valerie As I slowly woke up from the depths of sleep, the intrusive melody of my phone pierced through the peaceful of the morning. Irritation bubbled within me as I reached for the offending device, my mind still cloaked in the haze of slumber. Who could possibly be calling at this ungodly hour? Reluctantly, I glanced at the screen before answering, half-expecting it to be Drew, ready to unleash another wave of stress upon me. To my immense relief, it was Shay. But why on earth was she calling me so early? Shay was notorious for her late mornings, and I couldn't recall a single instance where she had been up before nine. Then it hit me like a bolt of lightning. The article. Had it been published already? The memory of handing over crucial evidence to Arnold the previous night flooded back, mingling with the anticipation that now gripped me. "Did it happen?" I blurted out as soon as I answered the call, my voice laden with a mixture of anxiety and hope. "No, sorry Val," Shay's v
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 66
Valerie Photographs of Drew and Laura were all over the page. The snapshots of contracts that Drew made his mistresses sign were splashed on the next page. The whole story I told Arnold was there! Aiden's and my name were kept anonymous, but the story of how Drew destroyed a woman was written precisely.He had even written about his sister and how cruelly Drew had hurt her. There were questions about how could a man do this and how much of a fool Laura was to not have known about all of this. There were even questions focused on her parents about how couldn't they have known all about it.The most eye-catching question to me was that Laura was to be blamed for the broken heart I carried. There was a whole article on me. Just me. No fucking Drew, nor Aiden. Just me. How did I feel about being used by two lovers who were in love with Laura but not me?“The love that she had thought to be hers was never hers, to begin with,” it said. Arnold had written about how I had felt and how lost
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 67
Valerie The revelation hit me like a seismic shock, an earthquake shaking the very foundations of my understanding. "It is your freaking secretary, Melanie!" Shay's words echoed in my mind, a refrain of disbelief that I couldn't shake off. Melanie, the sweet, cute, and understanding secretary who had been over the moon about Laura and Drew's wedding, was the architect of their impending downfall. The irony of it all was staggering. She had worshipped them as a couple, and now she was the one who had orchestrated their public humiliation. I sat there, my mind racing to process this unexpected betrayal. I had always considered Melanie an ally, someone who would be on Laura and Drew's side. The thought that she had played me, deceived me, left me double-shocked. I had anticipated backlash when the truth about my involvement in exposing Laura and Drew came out, but I never expected Melanie to be the one pulling the strings. "God, I think I need to sit down," I muttered to my dad as my
Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal Chapter 68
Valerie Sitting there with my dad I thought about my converstaion with him, the weight of his words still lingered heavily on my mind. It doesn't happen often where he opens up like that, setting out his vulnerabilities and regrets out in the open. But today he did and his words struck a chord deep within me."Val, you are happy right," he asked once again and for a second I just looked at him. "I am, dad," I paused. "I am way happier than what one can expect," I told him, and it was true because deep down I really was happy. Despite the stormy events that had occured, there was a strange sense of peace settling deep inside within me. At last the truth had been out and revealed, justice was served, and it felt like a burden was lifted from my shoulders. Drew's betryal and deception, Laura's salvation, and the support of all those who believed me, all of it contributed to a sense of relief, though it was filled with too many unexpected events. My dad's gentle smile and pat pat on the
