My Two Billionaire Husbands: A Plan for Revenge-Chapter 155: Standing Together

Eve hesitated at first. The weight of her past, the memories she had buried for years, threatened to claw their way back to the surface. But she needed someone—needed a friend. And right now, Cammy was the only person she could trust.

Taking a deep breath, she finally spoke.

"Harry and I met in college. We were together for years, in love, inseparable. But when I started working, things changed. I wasn’t rich, and his family hated that. You know... the classic heir-falls-for-the-poor-girl story." Her voice dripped with bitterness. "But ours didn’t have a fairytale ending."

Cammy leaned in, sensing the heaviness in Eve’s words.

"I got pregnant. He never knew... but somehow, his family found out."

Cammy’s eyes widened. She gasped, covering her mouth. "Wait—don’t tell me they paid you to stay away from him?"

Eve let out a bitter chuckle, but there was no humor in it. "Bingo. But that wasn’t all they did."

Her fingers curled around her cup, the old rage and pain bubbling up. "They threatened me, Cammy. They said they would ruin my life, destroy my parents. I was so stressed... that I started bleeding." Her voice wavered for a second before she steeled herself.

"So I did what I had to do. I lied. I told them I lost the baby. I took their money and disappeared from Harry’s life."

Cammy’s heart clenched. "Eve..."

Eve shook her head, forcing herself to continue. "I used the money to start fresh. My parents knew everything. They refused to let me go through it alone, so they sold everything we had. We bought a small farm in the countryside and stayed there until Cassey was born."

"I left everything behind, my job, my friends, my life. And so were my parents. My father was an engineer in a big company. Now he is a farmer, but at least he did use his skills and became successful in farming.

My mother was a teacher, and now she helps my father in our farm. They were able to expand the land over the years. That’s where they live until now."

Cammy swallowed, hanging on to every word.

"When she was old enough for school, we moved back to the city. I wanted her to have a good education. That’s when I met Mr. and Mrs. Moore. By then, I was already freelancing, so moving wasn’t a problem."

She exhaled, rubbing her temples. "And now... now, he’s back. And I have no idea what to do."

Cammy sat there, speechless, her mind spinning. This wasn’t just a secret. This was a bombshell waiting to explode.

Eve took a deep breath, steadying herself. "Running away isn’t an option anymore, Cammy. It’s not just about me now. Cassey is older. She has a life, friends, stability... I won’t take that away from her. I won’t uproot her again just to escape my past. She doesn’t deserve to be caught in the middle of this mess."

Cammy nodded, her expression soft with understanding. "You’ve been through hell, Eve. And don’t get me wrong—I understand why you took the money back then. You were young, scared, and cornered. But now..." she paused, watching Eve carefully, "now it’s a different story."

She leaned forward, her voice lowering. "And from what I saw last night, Harry is still in love with you. It all makes sense now—why he was drinking so much. Seeing you again shook him." She tilted her head. "Do you still love him?"

Eve’s breath hitched. She hesitated for a moment before exhaling. "I’d be lying if I said no." Her voice was barely above a whisper. "But like you said... now is a different story. We’re not those reckless kids in love anymore.

Too much has happened. I turned my back on him. I hurt him more than he’ll ever know. And some things..." her voice cracked slightly, but she swallowed it down, "some things just can’t go back to the way they were."

Cammy frowned, frustration etched on her face. "But why, Eve? I don’t understand. You’re both successful now, independent, strong. No one can control you anymore. If you both love each other, what’s stopping you?"

Eve let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. "You don’t get it, Cammy. This isn’t just about love. You have no idea how cruel Harry’s family is. They aren’t just rich and powerful—they’re ruthless. Heartless.

They’re the kind of people who destroy anything that stands in their way. They were willing to ruin my life once, and if they ever find out the truth—that I never really lost the baby—I don’t even want to imagine what they’d do."

Her voice trembled as she continued, "I love Harry. God knows I do. But love isn’t enough to protect Cassey. It’s not enough to keep her safe from them." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

She took a shaky breath, her fingers tightening around her coffee cup. "So if lying is the only way to protect my daughter, then I’ll do it. I’ll lie to Harry. Again and again, for as long as I have to."

Cammy leaned in, her voice softer now. "Eve, do you really think you can keep this secret forever? Harry is already suspicious. He’s not stupid. Sooner or later, he’ll find out the truth. What will you do then?"

Eve swallowed hard, her hands trembling slightly. "I don’t know," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "But I’ll do whatever it takes to keep Cassey out of their reach. If Harry finds out and wants to be in her life, then what?

His family will dig into every detail of my past. They’ll investigate, question, threaten. They won’t stop until they have full control over Cassey, and I can’t let that happen."

Cammy sighed, reaching for Eve’s hand. "I get it. I really do. You’re a mother first, and you’ll do anything to protect your child. But, Eve, are you sure you’re protecting her? Or are you just running away again?"

Eve’s breath hitched at the words. She wanted to argue, to deny it, but deep down, she knew there was truth in what Cammy was saying. "I’m not running away," she said, though the words felt weak. "I’m making sure she doesn’t have to suffer because of my past."

"I get that, but have you ever considered that if Harry knew about Cassey, he would want to protect her too? Two parents standing together to shield their child are far stronger than one fighting alone," Cammy said before taking a sip of coffee.

Her words made Eve speechless. It was something that never crossed her mind. But then she can never be impulsive, she will calculate first before she takes that risk, that leap of faith.
