Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 453 Percival thought he mast bring his father home .

With that thought .

Percival felt an unshakable resolve , as though a new sense of purpose had awoken within him .

It was as though for the first time in a long while , he could see a glimmer of hope .

Now , more than ever , he wanted to live really live and bring his father hack .

After returning to his room .

Percival lay in bed , the weight of everything pressing on his mind .

Meanwhile , Odalys had just finished her shower and was standing by the large windows , pulling the curtains open .

She was drying her hair , her gaze drifting toward the old tree outside .

In that moment , a faint , ghostly figure appeared beneath the tree .

He was sitting quietly , his eyes directed toward Odalys .

Though the man was translucent , neither fully there nor completely gone , their gares locked .

After a brief moment , the figure vanished , like a mirage .

Dont worry Odalys whispered , her voice soft , yet firm .

You and the Stewart familys ancestors saved both Percival and me , and protected Callum .

I wont leave you behind .

111 truly free you from that place .

She hadnt expected the spirits of the Stewart family to be so powerful .

When someone dies , their soul should dissipate , but the Stewart familys ancestors despite their physical tablets residing at the Stewart Villa seemed to still have a presence The very fact that others had replicated their tablets and offered them worship hadnt gone unnoticed by them .

These spinns , deeply connected to Percival had even ensured the protection of his astrological signs .

Had it not been for them .

Odalys feared the pressure on her astrological signs would have taken a heavy toll on her body .

Even if she hadnt jumped her life would have quickly deteriorated .

But now , with Percivals father unknowingly guarding her , both she and Percival were being protected She hadnt told Percival about this .

She suspected , however , that he could sense it too .

He was an adult , and sometimes , the heart knows what words cannot express And when Odalys had asked Percival to place the soil beneath the tree .

it had a deeper meaning .

As long as Percivals fathers spirit longed to come home , the soil would act as a tether With Percival visiting daily , it was only a matter of time before his fathers consciousness would awaken .

Once awakened , the spirit would desire to return home .

And if that desire was strong enough , it would find its way back .

With that thought in mind .

Odalys pulled the curtains shut and returned to bed , her mind still swirling with plans and revelations .

As she settled into bed , Odalys noticed her ph 1 her phone was flooded with messages .

Odalys , where have you been ? No replies , are you okay ? ] [ Odalys , are you sleeping ] Odalys , where are you ? Are you safe ? ] We just finished shooting Everythings good , what about you ? ] Freya , Selah , Stellan , and Francis had been taking turns checking on her , clearly concerned for her well being .

Each one had even called her , but she hadnt been able to answer since she was at the junction of energy a place with no signal .

Odalys felt a warmth in her chest as she scrolled through the flurry of messages and missed calls .

It feels nice to be cared for , she thought , a smile tugging at her lips .

She quickly sent a voice message in the group chat , and within seconds , Freya picked up the call Odalys , youre finally back ! You scared met I thought something had happened to you , Freyas voice came through , filled with worry .

Are you okay ! What happened ! Selah and Freyas voices were anxious , and Odalys could hear them walking Im fine.

Just had to take care of some things .

There was no signal , so I didnt see the messages , Odalys quickly reassured them .

It was strange .

She used to have no friends , but now it felt so nice to be missed , to know people cared .

Odalys , Stellars voice suddenly interrupted , Around midnight , my mom got a message saying Hannah called her , asking for help at the Bennett Villa My mom just yelled at her and blocked her number 1/2 Ad Free Beading Chapter 153 Odalys was caught off guard .

Hannah called your mom ! I thought she and your mom didnt get along didnt they have some beef because their names were the same ? Stellan laughed as he typed furiously , his voice still a little breathless .

Yeah , but my mom doesnt mix with the high society crowd .

Shes more of a self made businesswoman , so theres no real interaction with Hannah .

I didnt expect Hannah to ask my mom for help , though My mom also told me to remind you not to go down the Bennett familys path .

Shes suspicious theres some internal strife brewing in their ranks , Stellan continued , his voice now more serious Odalys immediately opened her WhatsApp Sure enough she saw a message from Sienna sent two hours ago .

It seemed that Sienna , seeing Odalys hadnt replied , had asked Stellan to pass on a message , perhaps hoping to reach her through him .

But as she glanced at her phone , she noticed a new message from Percival His was the only one sent in the middle of the night , and it was just a short , blunt message Hannah called you for help ? I told her to go die and blocked her number .

Odalys blinked , stunned .

She hadnt expected Percival to be so harsh , let alone tell someone to go die .

Her mind was racing She had just dozed off in the car , and so much had happened while she was asleep .

She quickly checked her blacklist , confirming that Percival had indeed blocked Hannah .

A laugh escaped her as she realized the gravity of what Percival had just said .

Thats one way to cut ties , she thought , amused Shes something else , isnt she ? Freya chimed in , clearly offended on Odalys behalf .

One minute , shes begging for help , the next shes kicking you aside .

The Bennett family really is disgusting Selah , busy applying a face mask , passed a sheet mask to Freya , who didnt seem to notice .

She was too busy venting about Hannahs audacity Meanwhile , Francis had been quiet .

He had just gotten out of the shower and now was standing in the living room , holding a bottle of beer , when he spoke up .

Odalys , a snake crawled into my room .

What should I do ? A snake ? Odalys replied , startled What kind of snake ? Stellan , Freya , and Selah asked in unison , their voices all edged with panic .

The group immediately rushed into the living room of their suite in the Film Capital Hotel , where they had been staying during the shoot .

The door flew open as they barged in .

Francis , slightly flustered , turned around , gesturing awkwardly to the sofa .

There , coiled around the armrest , was a snake , its head raised , curiously staring at the Wheres in group Freya was thoughtful enough to convert the voice message into a video , allowing Odalys to clearly see what was going on here .

Francis silently extended his hand , pointing to the snake coiled on the sofa .

If you didnt look closely , you might mistake it for a belt .

It lay there , its head emerging and hovering in mid air , curiously watching the group of people flooding in Odalys , is this the one ? Francis asked , his voice dripping with embarrassment .
