Loved Hard, Hated Harder novel

---- Chapter 13 As Nathan's lewd grunts played from the recorder, all color drained from Bianca's face. She opened her mouth to speak, ready to insist that he had been with another woman, not her. But before she could say anything , her own voice echoed from the device. "Nathan, you're so strong... Were you this rough with my sister, too?" There was no denying it now. No excuse she offered would work anymore. "T knew you'd never admit it, Bianca," Julian said coldly.

"That's why I recorded everything. I didn't just record the audio, of course. I have video recordings, too. I can show you right now, if you want. " Back when this all began, Julian had feared that Bianca would never agree to a divorce. That was why he recorded evidence of her betrayal -just in case he needed to use it to threaten Bianca into agreeing to the divorce. In the end, the process went smoothly with his lawyer "help, and the recordings were never used until now.

"Not only did you cheat, but you also repeatedly lied ---- through your teeth about it," he said, his voice rising. "All of you treated me like an idiot! Everyone knew that the child you were carrying was Nathan's, yet you all hid it from me. You made me the villain! The whole time, all of you were ganging up on me." Julian had held everything in for so long. Now, he could finally let it all out. Tears rimmed his eyes, but his tone was sharp with fury.

To say they bullied him would be an understatement. It had not just been lies and manipulation. There was real, physical abuse involved. When Nathan faked getting hit by a car, it was Julian who ended up bloodied and beaten. When Nathan staged his fall down the stairs, Bianca ordered her men to hold Julian down and forced him to supply Nathan with his blood. He ended up losing a whopping 1000 millilitres of blood! That was over twice the safe limit for a healthy adult man in a single day.

Julian had felt himself slipping into unconsciousness at the time. His body was cold, and his heart was pounding in terror, fearful of death. And where had his wife, Bianca, been? She was at Nathan's bedside, holding his hand. How could Julian forgive her for that? How could he not hate her? ---- "T will never forget what you did to me," Julian said, voice trembling. "I will never forgive you, and I never want to see you again!

"Leave, or I'm calling the police." Just as he finished his words, Bianca collapsed to her knees. "Jules! Please let me explain!" She cried, clinging to his legs, her face streaked with tears. "You have to believe me. I love you! You're the one I love most! "T didn't cheat! It was... It was Nathan! He drugged me! I didn't know what I was doing, please! My heart always belonged to you!"
