The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

The next morning, Elizabeth woke up with a pounding headache. She found herself in an unfamiliar guest room. Vague memories of the previous night slowly resurfaced as she made her way downstairs.

Natalie and Brandon were having breakfast in the dining room. “Look who’s awake! Come and have some breakfast before you leave,” Natalie greeted Elizabeth cheerfully. Holding her coat, Elizabeth politely bowed to them, intending to leave as soon as possible. The humiliation from the previous night lingered. However, upon seeing the pained expression on Elizabeth’s face, Natalie stood up and stopped her, sighing heavily.

“Elizabeth, I know it’s your life, but I consider you a good friend. Even if you might hate me for saying this, I have to tell you that Jorge is a jerk, and you should break up with him.”

Chewing on a sandwich, Brandon chimed in, “I’ve encountered many men like him. He won’t let go that easily.”

“Thanks for the advice, but I can handle it myself,” Elizabeth replied softly, avoiding eye contact.

Natalie couldn’t decipher Elizabeth’s true thoughts. After Elizabeth left, Brandon tried to console Natalie. “There’s nothing we can do. Only she can help herself at this point.”

Gazing in the direction Elizabeth had departed, Natalie simply sighed, unsure of what else to say.

What had prompted Allie to change her mind?

Natalie couldn’t contain her excitement when she received a reply from Allie. She quickly responded to set up a meeting with her. Brandon, noticing Natalie’s elation, became suspicious and questioned her with a hint of jealousy.
