Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 423 Atlas , young and carefree , had always been pampered by his parents .

He never had to worry about making decisions , and now, when things had gone terribly wrong , he was completely lost .

Dont go back to the Bennett Villa for now .

Move out and see if things improve , Caspian advised.

Atlas opened his mouth , hesitated , then nodded reluctantly … Caspian let out a quiet sigh of relief .

At least someone was on his side .

As long as he wasnt fighting this battle alone , there was still hope .

So what now ? Ailas asked , his voice uncertain .

Caspian paused for a moment before responding We need to check the surveillance footage .

We need to find out how Henry got involved with Sophia .

Somethings not right about this whole thing Before Atlas could respond , a blood curdling scream echoed from outside .

The two of them exchanged looks and rushed toward the door .

They found Windsor , his face twisted with rage , grabbing Hannah by her hair and shamming her head against the wall Who told you to touch my things ? Windsor spat , his voice dripping with fury .

Didnt I tell you not to mess with Sophia ? His eyes were bloodshot , filled with an almost animalistic fury .

Hannah , her forehead bleeding from the impact , struggled desperately against his grip , but Windsor held her fast , his anger only growing with each passing second You let Henry sleep with her ? Are you trying to ruin everything for me ? Windsor roared , delivering another brutal kick to Hannahs side .

She crashed to the floor , unable to shield herself from his assault Not far away , Dangelo was leaning against the wall , supported by Sienna , watching the scene unfold .

Good thing you only share a name with her , Dangelo munered to himself , shuddering at the thought Sienna shot him an irritated look and swiped at his shoulder .

Dont bring that up again .

You dont want me to turn on you Dangelo , not taking offense , simply sighed .

I dont get it .

Windsors acting completely out of character .

Ive worked with him before .

Hes not like this .

He was always level headed , able to keep his cool .

But now ! Hes completely lost it Sienna frowned , her expression dark .

Tm worried .

Its not just Windsor .

Somethings off with the whole Bennett family .

Ill have to talk to Odalys .

We need to stay alert .

She felt like there was something more at play something hidden beneath the surface .

It was like the entire Bennett family was unraveling Lets head back , Dangelo said , his tone grave .

As they turned to leave , they noticed Harvey and Celeste standing off to the side , observing them The four locked eyes , and Harvey spoke up first .

Has Caspian contacted you two recently ! comer away from the crowd .

Their conversation was private , out of the He and Celeste were dressed down , trying to blend in , standing in the co public eye .

Has he been in touch with you ? Dangelo asked , surprised .

Caspian had been contacting them frequently , trying to use their connections to arrange a meeting with Odalys .

It seems like Caspians not as simple as he seems .

Hes trying to use us to get closer to Odalys .

Whats his real game ? Harveys tone g suspicion palpable .

As businessmen , they w to grow wary .

grew cold , his they were accustomed to recognizing when something was off Caspians motives werent entirely clear , and now they were starting Well talk more in your room , Sienna interrupted , sensing the conversation was heading into dangerous territory .

We dont want anyone overbearing 1/2 11:45 PM & Chapter 423 The four of them moved discreetly toward the VIP section of the hospital , ensuring that no one could listen in .

They even had their bodyguards posted at the door to keep eavesdroppers away In the operating room .

Orson , wearing his gloves , inserted the needle and injected the sedative into Henry and Sophias veins With a soft clink , he tossed the syringe aside , the sharp sound echoing in the otherwise sterile room .

The temperature in the operating room was frigid , and Henry and Sophia , feeling the cold , began to stir .

They were about to speak , but the anesthesia took effect almost immediately , and their eyes glazed over , their bodies going limp .

Everyone out Orson ordered , his voice steady and commanding .

The rest of the medical staff filed out quickly , knowing their presence wasnt necessary for this procedure .

Orson had complete control over the situation .

Once the room cleared , he stood over the two unconscious bodies , watching them closely .

He rubbed his temples, then walked over to the door as be heard a knock .

He pressed a button beside him , and the door slid open , revealing Odalys .

Hows it going ? Odalys asked , her voice calm but expectant Orson gestured for her to follow him , leading her over to the operating table where Henry and Sophia lay side by side .

Tve given them both the anesthetic .

They wont wake up for at least an hour , Orson explained .

Odalys looked down at the two of them , her eyes narrowing .

So , when you carried Henry into the room earlier , you were … treating him with something on the side ? she asked , a slight edge to her voice .

Orson cleared his throat awkwardly .

Well … I thought it would help , he admitted , rubbing his wrist as he looked at her with a slightly embarrassed expression .

He was trying to play the role of her assistant in this moment , a role he wasnt quite used to , I just wanted to see if they were really innocent , but I didnt expect Sophia to want his hearts blood .

What does she need it for ? Orson wondered aloud Odalys gaze hardened .

Finnian was under her Love Spell .

She drained his luck , used him as a puppet until he was ruined .

Thats how she operates .

Orsons eyes widened .

Hearing Fannians name made him freeze .

He hadnt expected to hear it in this context .

He had never suspected that the Lark familys downfall had been caused by someone like Sophia .

The truth about Finnian being the illegitimate son had been a public scandal , but the Lark family had never questioned it .

Now , it seemed theyd been played , manipulated by Finnians mother .

Is this about Henrys hearts blood , too ? Orson asked , still processing the information .

Its related .

Odalys explained Getting someones hearts blood is a form of control , whether its for Love Spells or other dark magic .

Once its taken , it binds the soul to the one who possesses it .

So shes trying to turn Henry into her puppet ! Orson asked , his voice barely above a whisper .

Odalys nodded .

Sophia is an expert at these twisted arts .

She knows how to manipulate peoples fates .

Orson looked at Sophias unconscious form , his mind racing with questions .

But if shes from the Bennett family , why would she be practicing these dark arts ? A true heir from such a family wouldnt bother with this kind of thing Odalys stared at Sophias face , her expression unreadable .

You want to see h to see her true form ? Orson blinked in confusion What do you mean ! Befo 1 from ! The almo
