The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal novel Chapter 20

Chapter 14: Claire’s POV

I rush the taxi driver to take me to Leonardo’s

house. I sit in the back seat trembling. Was I too late? Has Matthew already asked him for money? Has he told him that I’ve been paying for his debts or has he threatened Leo in order to get it? Every single case scenario brushed my thought as I see the house I once lived in appear in the distance.

I see no one in the driveway or standing at the door. I’d hoped that meant that Matthew was turned away but I hadn’t gotten a call from Leo that would confirm my hopes. I hadn’t actually heard from him at all since I left.

I get to the door and stand there for a moment. I hadn’t returned my key but after everything that’s happened – I didn’t know if it was still appropriate for me to use it. I had told Leo I was moving out, asked him for a divorce and given him my wedding ring. Standing at the front door of a house that I had lived in for over five years – feeling nothing more than a stranger waiting on its steps.

I knew I needed to stop Matthew before he managed to scheme or extort Leo for money but I was glued in place looking at what used to be my home. A home I shared with my husband. It was once a safe haven to us both. This is where I

conceived our baby. The one I still haven’t

mentioned to Leo. It was odd for a house to hold so
