Betrothed to the bíllonaire beast Chapter 14
He was impossible to ignore tall, confident, and dressed in a sharp blue suit that fit him perfectly. His presence alone commanded the room. Heads turned, whispers began, and I wasn’t the only one caught staring.The women in the room were visibly entranced, their smiles widening as if his arrival was the highlight of their night. Even a few men seemed momentarily struck.He moved with a quiet grace, like he knew every eye was on him but didn’t need to acknowledge it. His white hair stood out, crisp and refined, and his piercing, crystal-clear eyes swept across the room. I couldn’t take my eyes off him.Then he raised his hand, and his deep voice rolled out, effortlessly cutting through the noise. “Attention, everyone,” he said.That voice. Smooth, commanding, with just a hint of warmth. It felt like he could have said anything, and I would’ve hung on every word.Wow, you didn’t even need to ask for attention,you already had it, I thought, unable to stop the flutter in my chest.Claud

Hospital? I struggled to piece together what had happened, but my mind felt foggy, the details slipping through my fingers like sand.Why… Why am I here?" I asked, my throat dry and scratchy.Don’t worry, the voice reassured me. You’re going to be okay. Just rest for now.But before I could ask anything more, my body betrayed me, dragging me back into the darkness.When I finally woke up, sitting upright in the hospital bed, Mom rushed over to me, pulling me into a tight hug.Oh, my dear, how are you feeling?” she asked, her voice trembling with relief.I’m fine, Mom,I said softly.The doctor walked in just then, clipboard in hand, giving me a warm smile. Good to see you awake, Luna. You’re doing well. We’ll discharge you today.Today? I repeated, confused. Wait, how long have I been here?Two days later, he said matter-of-factly.Two days? I turned to Mom in shock.She gave me a reassuring smile. Don’t worry, honey. You’re fine now, and that’s all that matters.The doctor excused hi

Can I sleep here tonight? he asked softly, clutching a pillow. It feels lonely in my room.I smiled, patting the space next to me. Of course.He climbed into the bed, snuggling close. “Thanks, Luna. You’re the best.”As his little breaths evened out in sleep, I realized just how much I enjoyed being here. Now I wish I had a baby brother to keep me company.Joey and I had settled into a comfortable routine when his grandma arrived, a few days later. She was a cheerful, beautiful woman with soft gray hair that framed her warm, kind face.As soon as Joey saw her, he ran up to her, throwing his arms around her and planting a kiss on her cheek. Grandma, you look so cool he said, his eyes sparkling with admiration.She chuckled, stroking his hair. Oh, my little boy, I’ve missed you.I walked up with the maid to help carry her bags inside. Joey, ever the polite host, introduced us. Grandma, this is Luna, my friend.Grandma turned to me with a knowing smile. So, this is the famous Luna I’ve h

But she shook her head firmly. Listen, dear, she said, pushing the envelope back toward me, this isn’t payment for taking care of Joey. Your hospitality cannot be paid with some currency notes.It’s just my way of trying to help. Daniel told me you’ve been struggling to find a job, so I spoke with Mr. Antonio. I gave him your contact information. He’ll be in touch soon.Tears welled up in my eyes. Oh, Grandma,” I said, hugging her tightly, “I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain.You’ve already done more than enough, Luna,she replied, wiping her tears. Then her voice broke as she continued, As for Joey, we’ll be leaving the country soon. He needs to be surrounded by family, and it’ll be too hard for both of us to stay here with all the memories. I don’t know when we’ll return, but when we do, you’re always welcome to visit.I nodded, unable to find the words to respond. The thought of leaving them weighed heavily on me.Later that day, I packed my things, getting ready

I turned around, startled, only to see Stacy running toward me. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she threw her arms around me.Stacy I exclaimed, hugging her tightly. How have you been?.“I’ve missed you so much, Luna," she said, holding on as if she’d never let go.Behind her, Nanny walked in, smiling warmly. Mom and I exchanged surprised looks before Mom asked, “What happened? Where have you been?”Well, Nanny began, “we left the country for a while. That’s why we haven’t been coming to the store.I told Nanny I wanted to buy some accessories,” Stacy chimed in excitedly, but I mostly just wanted to see you, Luna!”I couldn’t help but laugh at her enthusiasm. You’ve grown so much, Stacy, I said, kneeling to her level.Do you think so? she asked, twirling around.Absolutely! So, what kind of accessories are we shopping for today?Everything Stacy declared with a giggle.Nanny chuckled. “She’s been talking about this visit ever since we got back five days ago. I think she missed yo

This was my mistake, thinking it was Minho orchestrating some grand romantic gesture.My excitement took over, and I quickly rose from the table, clutching the flower. I stepped outside into the cool evening air, scanning for him.But he wasn’t there.The parking area was quiet except for a few cars and the distant hum of traffic. Confused, I looked around, wondering if this was a prank. My mind raced with possibilities, an admirer, maybe? Then, a few meters away, I noticed a shadowy figure holding a similar red rose and a small girl by the hand. He waved at me.Curiosity set in, I decided to approach, my heels clicking against the pavement. As I drew closer, I felt a strange unease, but I shook it off, blaming my overactive imagination. Just as I was about to call out to him, everything went dark.A hand covered my nose and mouth from behind, muffling my scream. The faint scent of chemicals overwhelmed me, and the world blurred before fading into nothingness.I woke up in a dimly lit

I fought desperately to stay awake, my mind racing with questions and my body trembling with fear and exhaustion. But whatever the man had administered to me earlier, the vapors still lingering in my system, took their toll. My limbs grew heavy, my vision fading as I struggled to hold on.The masked man’s familiar eyes were the last thing I saw before the darkness claimed me. My thoughts slipped away,my eyes closing as the world around me dissolved into nothingness.I woke up slowly, my head pounding and my body weak, lying on what felt like a soft mattress. The air smelled faintly of antiseptic, mixed with the clean scent of linen. I blinked, my vision adjusting to the dim light of the room. It was small but tidy, with beige walls, a single window covered by heavy curtains, and a wooden chair placed by the bed.I tried to move, but my body felt sluggish. Panic started to rise again as I remembered the events from earlier,the men, the girl, the masked stranger. My heart raced. Where a

Curious and restless, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and managed to stand. Slowly, I made my way to the door and stepped outside. The scene before me took my breath away. The small cottage was surrounded by sprawling green fields. The air was fresh and carried the faint scent of wildflowers. Trees lined the horizon, and a nearby brook glistened under the golden sunlight.In the garden a few yards away, I spotted Mrs. Robert tending to her plants. She was bent over a patch of soil, carefully weeding with a small tool in hand."Mrs. Robert," I called out, my voice a little stronger than before.She straightened and turned to me with a warm smile. "Oh, how are you, dear? You’re awake.I feel a bit better now, I said as I walked toward her. Let me help you.She waved her hand dismissively. "No, no, not at all. You’re not well enough to be doing this kind of work.But I insisted, reaching for the small gardening fork she was holding. Please. I need to do something to keep my min

Suddenly, a faint noise came from the direction of Sophia’s room. “Daddy!” her small voice called out.Tommy paused, his head snapping in the direction of the sound. After a moment, he turned and strode out of the room, his boots echoing down the hallway.I waited, every second stretching into eternity, until I was sure he was gone. Then, slowly, I eased myself out of the hiding spot, my body shaking from the adrenaline.The woman reappeared moments later, her face pale and tear-streaked. You have to leave,” she whispered urgently, her voice hoarse. Now. Before he comes back.I nodded, my legs barely supporting me as I moved toward the window. Melissa was waiting for me outside, her expression a mix of relief and worry as I climbed out.We need to get out of here, I said, my voice trembling as I recounted everything I’d just witnessed.As we hurried away into the night, I couldn’t shake the image of the woman’s haunted eyes. The distant sound of Tommy’s car fading away filled me with

The woman’s bitter laugh sent shivers down my spine. “You think you can stop him? You have no idea what you’re dealing with. He’s dangerous, he'll kill you without a second thought.She stared at me, her eyes searching mine as if trying to find any hint of deceit. “You don’t know what you’re getting yourselves into. If you think you can fight him, you’re wrong. He’s too powerful. You’ll just end up like me broken, trapped, and hopeless.That’s why we’re here, I said, finding my voice. We need your help. You’ve seen more than anyone. You can give us the proof we need to bring him down.Her shoulders slumped slightly, but the suspicion in her eyes remained. “Why should I trust you?”Because we’re on your side, Melissa said, her tone softening. “We know the pain he’s caused. Let us help you end it.For a moment, the woman said nothing, her knife still trembling in her hand. Then, with a deep, shuddering breath, she let it fall to the floor. Her shoulders shook as she began to cry, her ha

I stepped forward, assisting Melissa as we carried Malia into the house and laid her gently on the couch. She was visibly intoxicated, her eyes half-open, her lips moving in a drunken mutter.I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of water, returning quickly to sprinkle it on her face. Mom knelt beside her, shaking her vigorously. "Malia! Malia, wake up!" she called desperately.Malia stirred slightly, her voice slurring as she mumbled, "He... he was there... He knows your plans... The truth... will be out..." Her arm weakly pointed at her mother, her words fading into gibberish."Malia, you’re drunk! What happened to you?" her mother demanded, panic thick in her voice. She turned sharply to Melissa, who was catching her breath. "Where did you find her? What happened?"I saw her stumbling out of a club, Melissa explained, her voice calm but tinged with concern. She was falling over herself, drunk and disoriented. I recognized her as Maya's sister and brought her here. I didn’t know w

What do you mean I can't be too sure?" Mom asked, turning back to me with a frown.I mean, you and Rufus go way back, but you haven’t seen each other in years. A lot can change, Mom, I said firmly, folding my arms.Her expression softened slightly, but her tone remained defensive. Luna, I know Rufus. He’s always been kind, honest, and trustworthy. There’s nothing to worry about.Well, I said, trying to choose my words carefully, you should still be cautious. People can change, especially after so long. Just try to keep your distance and watch closely.Mom sighed heavily, shaking her head. Luna, I don’t have time for this. she said, brushing past me.I watched her walk away, frustration building in my chest. She didn’t realize how dangerous this could be. Between Rufus reappearing in her life and Mr. Tommy’s increasingly suspicious behavior, it felt like the walls were closing in.This was overwhelming. I couldn’t involve the police,not yet. But I needed help. After much hesitation, I

That left just Minho and me, standing together in the terminal, trying to make the most of the dwindling moments we had left. We talked quietly, sharing memories, hopes, and promises. Each word felt like a thread tying us together, even as time worked to unravel us.When the boarding announcement came, my chest tightened. I pulled him into the tightest hug I could muster, feeling his warmth one last time. He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead, his lips lingering as if trying to leave a part of himself behind.I’ll miss you, Luna, he whispered, his voice heavy with emotion.I’ll miss you more, " I replied, my throat constricted with unshed tears.As he turned to walk toward the gate, we kept waving at each other, clinging to the last seconds of connection. He disappeared down the jetway, but I stayed, watching his plane rev into the sky until it was a mere speck. The roar of the engines faded, leaving behind an aching silence. I swallowed hard, determined to hold back my tears.With

My breath hitched. Their conversation seemed casual, but their body language suggested familiarity too much for my comfort. Rufus leaned in close to say something, and my mother laughed lightly, her face lighting up.What was she doing with him? And why did they look so comfortable together?A thousand questions flooded my mind. How did they know each other? Was she involved in whatever dark dealings Rufus was entangled in? The thought was too unsettling to bear.I froze, torn between confronting them or staying hidden. My heart raced, pounding louder with each passing second. As they walked closer to the bridge, I instinctively ducked behind a nearby pillar, peeking out just enough to keep them in view.“Why are you hiding?” Minho’s voice startled me from behind, causing me to jump. He held two bottles of soda in his hands, looking at me with confusion.I grabbed his arm, pulling him into the shadows with me. “Shh!” I whispered urgently, nodding toward the approaching figures.Minho

His smirk returned, he reached for a metal pipe and took a deep drag, exhaling thick, acrid smoke, Then with deliberate cruelty he forced my mouth open with his fingers,and blew the smoke directly into me.I gagged, the bitterness choking me,as the smoke invaded my lungs, almost immediately I felt my body grow weak, my strength draining, My visions blurred, everything dissolving into darkness.I tried to hold on to something,but the overwhelming haze pulled me under,and I lost consciousness.The flash of light burned into my eyes, forcing me awake. I instinctively rubbed them, groaning softly, only to jolt upright when I saw a familiar face, the bodyguard from the club, Romano’s right-hand man. He was pointing a flashlight at me, his expression stern.Don’t you want to go home?” he asked, switching off the light as I raised my hand to block it.I blinked a few times, adjusting to the dimness of dawn. He turned to sit properly in the driver seat, facing forward. My eyes darted to my si

His words struck me like a blow, leaving me speechless.Romano turned back to the door, gripping the knob tightly. His next words were cryptic. “The disappointment was a blessing in disguise,” he muttered.I frowned, confused. “What does that even mean?” I asked, but he didn’t answer. Instead, he opened the door and left without another word.Alone in the house, I sank into a chair, my mind racing. Flashes of everything that had happened ran through my head, and I remembered the hidden photo I’d seen in Rufus’s pocket, the one of Joey’s father. Could Rufus have been involved in his death?I thought about Romano. Who was he, really? Could he be some kind of gang leader? How much did he know?.One thing was certain,Romano was far more than just a branch manager. The questions burned in my mind, but the answers felt just out of reach.The questions weighed heavily on me as I lay down, trying to rest. Romano hadn’t returned, and the emptiness of the house only amplified my unease. What if

I nodded, hiding my fear behind a practiced smile. My hands trembled slightly as I unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his bare chest and rounded belly. He sat on the bed, patting the space beside him, motioning for me to join. I hesitated but eventually sat, keeping as much distance as I could.Rufus’s demeanor shifted, his touches becoming more forward. My skin crawled, but I played along, feigning calmness while my heart raced.Just as his hand grazed my arm again, the door flung open with a loud bang. I jerked in surprise, and Rufus turned sharply. The man who entered looked dangerous, his expression thunderous.He stormed over to us, handing Rufus the same photos Romano had given me earlier. Rufus studied them, and his face darkened with anger. Without warning, he turned to me, his eyes blazing with rage.Youhe spat, grabbing me by the shoulders and pushing me down onto the bed. His hands were around my throat in an instant, choking me as I struggled to breathe.I clawed at his arms,
