“Ruby?” Alex's voice stirred me up, and I was shuffling in the blanket.“Hmm.” He had reached where I was now, and he leaned closer—so close that I thought he wanted to kiss me. But he only wanted to check on me.Why was I disappointed that it wasn’t the latter?“Ruby? I am here now.” He gently tapped my arms, and I stirred.“Hmm.” I groaned, stretching my arms as a wide yawn tore out of me. “I think I slept off.” I said it in an apologetic tone, and Alex waved it off.“It is alright; I understand. You must probably be exhausted.”He had no idea. This week has been stressful mentally, physically, and psychologically, but it was going to be fine.“Why were you late, though? You knew I was coming, yet you didn’t see to pick me up from the airport.” I paused to look at the spot where I knew the clock used to be, and the time read 20 minutes past 1. “You are late.”There was a lot more I was going to say, but I saved up whatever I was going to say and swallowed it. We were no longer toget

“Why do you want a divorce?” Alex had the guts to ask, and I was looking at him like it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard.“Do you seriously not know why?” I said in a calm voice. I was surprised that I could be calm, seeing how hard I was trying to contain my anger. I closed my eyes and took a breath, trying to calm myself down.“No, I have no idea why.” He shook his head. “I just came back from the office one day, and I discovered you were gone, along with everything you own. I tried to reach out to you, but every method I tried proved abortive.”I almost facepalmed; the answer was just at his tips. “Do you not think something must have prompted me to leave?”“I don’t know; I have been thinking of it, but I couldn’t find any answer. I made sure to treat you well and shower you with love and care, but after a year with no sign of you, I decided to let go.”“Geez, you are so... Arrgghh." I groaned, getting even more agitated. But it was hard to stay angry with him when he

I licked my lips, silently daring him, and Alex wasted no time, because he was diving for my lips almost immediately, kissing me like a man who was starving, and I welcomed it like a woman who had just found water and had just seen a source of water.The kiss was raw, devoid of any feeling, and only fueled by lust and passion. I raised my hands up, hooking them around his shoulder as he kissed me hungrily.His mouth moved across mine with such urgency that it lit a fire in me, and for now, I didn’t seem to care.With the way I was feeling now, I didn’t want a gentle kiss.Alex buried his hands in my hair, grabbing a section and tugging on it to expose my neck, and he followed it with aggressive kissing and sucking. I mewled under him, struggling to keep a hold of the lust that was coursing through my veins.Pure, unbridled lust was loosening in me as he continued sucking that spot, and it was only the hands that I had hooked around his neck that were preventing me from falling.“Alex,

Alex collapsed on me, his body jerking as he poured his seed in me until he had completely emptied everything in me. His breath was coming out in short pants, evidence that he was totally drained, and I couldn’t blame him. The round had been so intense that my voice had become hoarse from screaming.“Are you okay?” Alex peeped down at me, his eyes doing a number on me that if I had not fallen for him, I would have done so. He looked at me with such tenderness that it almost made me weep.I didn’t reply to him; instead, I stood on a tippy toe and hooked my hands around his shoulder, reaching for a kiss.My eyes fluttered shut as I kissed him, loving the way he tasted in my mouth. I wish this moment could go on forever, but I would be delusional to think so. However, I was going to cease this opportunity to hold him close, probably for the last time.The kiss was longer than initially planned as Alex took over, deepening the kiss, and when we finally parted ways, our mouths were slightl

The first thing I did once I had settled on the plane was to put my phone in airplane mode and turn on DND mode so Alex couldn’t reach me.I know it was horrible, leaving without telling him. But if he knew I was leaving, I doubt he would have allowed me to go. He would have insisted I stay longer and even demanded I do, and because I was weak on matters of Alex, I would have given in and stayed longer.But I knew that wasn’t going to end well for me, hence the reason I was heading for Seattle. It had managed to secure a last-minute seat, but it had cost me more than it should have.It was an early morning flight, so most of the occupants were sleeping, and I was quick to join them.The plane finally landed at the airport, and I was dragged by bags, going to book a cab to take me back home.I entered the vehicle, sitting close to the window and looking outside of it. It wasn’t hard to tell that I was already missing Alex.Those few moments I had spent with him had made me realize that

I released a deep breath as Jeremy went out the door. Would I be wicked if I said I was happy he did?Well, I wasn’t going to let that bother me.My house. My choice.I shut the door and dragged my weary body to the bedroom, dumping myself on the bed like a sack of potatoes, a rather sad and weary one.I was suffering from homesickness, and the only person that could cure it was Alex, but that was impossible since he was miles away from me.I released another sigh, turning in my bed to find the right position, suddenly grateful it was the weekend. I will need to get my A game before tomorrow.It was in that position that I drifted into sleep, and it was no surprise when Alex appeared in my dream, riding a horse with a chariot following him and promising to take me to the ends of the earth.The man has managed to invade my thoughts and now my dream.When I woke up, I had a hearty laugh as I remembered it, but I was again reminded of the fact that we may never be together, and the tears

“I want to proceed with the divorce.” Everything in me dulled as I heard him say the words. My eyes widened by a quarter as I tried to process what I had just heard. Did he just say what I had just heard?“What did you just say?” I asked just to be sure I had no hearing loss.“You heard me, Ruby. I believe you are not deaf. I have signed the papers, and I want to proceed with the divorce.”“Oh.” I swallowed the huge link that had gathered in my throat. The news poured on my back like cold water, sending chills down my spine, and I turned my gaze to the document, eyeing it, wishing that it could catch fire now.This wasn't what I planned, and the news I just heard has totally disorganized me, and I don’t know what to do about it.There was once a time I wanted nothing to do with him; I hated him so much, and all I wanted was a divorce, but I wasn’t too sure now.“Okay.” I said with a sigh. “Can we take this somewhere else, where we could get more privacy?” I asked, looking at him while

Alex shifted forward, his face blank, as if every atom of emotion had left him. “You wanted a divorce, and I don’t want to deny you that.”“I know!” It was taking everything in me not to scream.“I know I wanted a divorce, but why now?”“You just heard me, Ruby. I am sure you are not hard of hearing, or you will need to get your ear checked. I know a doctor that specializes in ENT, and he will be willing to help.”I rolled my eyes as I heard him, not finding anything funny. “Are you even listening to me?”"Yes, I am, and I heard what you said. I have already told you the reason I am doing this, and I am not going to repeat myself.”I released a sigh, suddenly tired from everything. "Alright, that is fine. If this is what you want, I will pass it on to my lawyer, and we will set a date for trial. Is that alright?”“Don’t try to pass this on to me, Ruby. This was what you wanted. But yes, I think so.”"Ummm, Alex, are you sure about this?” I said, trying my hardest to convince him before

Bound To The Billionaire The End
Honestly, this wasn’t how I imagined the book to end. I still had a lot of ideas, but as I gave it some thought, I knew that I was dragging the plot unnecessarily, and I think Alex and Ruby deserve their happy ending after all they had been through, even though it may not be what you wished for.I have learned that sometimes less is more, and that is what I am looking for in this book.Their future is left for you readers to decide, so be creative and leave a message on how you think they should have ended, and I would be happy to contribute and add my own theory.I want to thank everyone that has been reading the book even up to this point; you are the reason I kept this going.Your comments and gems were really appreciated.I do have a tiny favor for you.

I stood on my tiptoes, and my hands flew up to circle his neck, even as I connected my lips to his. Alex was frozen in place, not expecting my reaction, but the man was quick to recover.I heard a low growl from his belly, and he held my neck, pulling me closer to him. His lips were firm as they pressed against me, the complete opposite of the gentle butterflies that were fluttering in my stomach.Alex pulled back for a split second, his warm breath fanning my skin and sending delicious tingles down my body. He was looking at me with stormy eyes, and I could see nothing but love in his gaze.“Before we go forward, I need your verbal response. I don’t want to have any casual relationships anymore. I am tired of chasing the clouds, and I want something authentic with you. If you are saying yes, that means you are all in.” His eyebrow creased with serious intent as he spoke.I gave it a little thought, even though I already knew what my reply would be. In all honesty, I was tired of this

I looked at my phone, squinting at the mail I had just received, just to be sure that it was actually from Alex.Why couldn’t he tell me if they had accepted or rejected our offer in the mail? Did he have to see me face-to-face so he could gloat at my dejected face?He didn’t even give a specific date, so he had expected me to be omniscient and know when I should come. I looked up at the top left-hand corner of my phone, where the time was reading some minutes before one.A flitting thought crossed my mind about how it was so close to time. It took me some seconds to process the information before I was jumping to my feet.He obviously meant today, and if he did, I needed to be extra fast to make it on time. Thank goodness for the little things. I had already taken my bath, so it was going to make things easier.I padded my wardrobe, which was only seen to be overflowing no matter how much I debunk and declutter. I think I was going to have another yard sale so I could create more spa

“Hmm.” Alex’s lips were in a thin line as he looked at me. He finally allowed our eyes to meet, and I wasn’t sure I liked what I was seeing there.They were unreadable and barely giving anything out, and honestly, I didn’t know how to feel about that. But I could feel the huge divide between us, and I had no idea how I was going to mend it.“Alex? I asked a question.” I reminded him when I got no response again.“Yeah, I heard you the first time; I was just wondering why you decided to come to me.” He folded his arms, and I watched as his muscles bulged, giving him a menacing look. But I wasn’t fazed. “Why are you coming to me? What happened to all the numerous investors that gave you the contract? Are they suddenly backing out of the contract?”I whined with each sentence, each sentence delivering a lash on my back, and I shifted in my seat uncomfortably. Alex sure had a way with words, and he knew how best to make it hurt.“I came to you for a reason, Alex.” I said while I practiced

“Hey, I need your help.” I said into the speaker, and I waited, unconsciously holding my breath, to hear his reply. A few seconds had passed, and I didn’t hear anything from him. I was sure he heard me, but I was going to repeat it again to clarify any doubt. “I need your help.”“Yes, I heard you for the first time. What do you need?” No matter how he tried, he couldn’t hide the hostility in his voice, and I was cringing as I heard it.I deserved it. I had hurt him beyond measure, yet I was the one on his phone, seeking his favor.“Uhm, it is a long story, but I think it is better if we meet in person.” I said, my heart pounding in my chest for no apparent reason.I heard the ruffling of pages and a small pause before he replied. “Alright, tomorrow should be fine with me by 6 p.m. I will send you the location.”“Alright, thank you.” He was disconnecting the call even before I even finished talking, and I looked at the blank screen for a moment, wondering where it had all gone wrong.I

“We need to talk.” I spoke into the speaker, and I didn’t care if he had heard me or not, but I disconnected the call and flung my phone on the bed—only carefully, of course.That particular phone had cost me a ton, and I didn’t think I had the strength to replace it just yet. Plus, all of my important information was there; I couldn’t afford to lose it because of a tantrum.I held my head in my hand, cradling it like I would a baby. I wanted to scream out my frustration, bang my head on the wall, or do something crazy.But I couldn’t find the strength to do so.I have never been one to resort to violence if I didn’t have my way. Okay? I was lying, I used to in the past, but I'm a changed person now, and I don’t do such things now.I sat on my bed, unmoving, while I waited for the person on the other end of the phone to come back home. All this time, I was numb, not allowing myself to feel anything, but my brain was still working on how to come up with a solution.I was snapping out o

Work began in earnest the next day, which means that we were going to be staying in New York for a great deal of time—well, only Jeremy and I.Charles and Anna had gone back to Seattle as they had a lot of things to do and couldn’t always be here for us.However, I understood how much of a sacrifice they had made to make us reach such levels, and I was never taking it for granted. That was why I was eager to make sure this project was a success.It had to beJeremy and I had rented an Airbnb that would accommodate us during our stay in New York. Nothing fancy though; it was a modest house with 3 bedrooms and well-furnished rooms, and it had all the essentials we needed.We had decided on a 3-bedroom in case we had visitors; they could always stay in the guest bedroom without having to inconvenience anyone. I flew back to Seattle during the weekend just to check on how things were going over there while Jeremy was holding out his end in New York.We had no ongoing project anymore in Se

I held my breath as I opened the door, but I realized too late that it wasn’t him. It wasn’t the one that I dreamed of every waking hour, the one that somehow found a way to occupy my thoughts even though I didn’t want him to.Anna was quick to notice the frown on my face, and frown lines were etched on her face. “Are we interrupting something?” She asked in a worrisome tone, and I was quick to shake my head, denying her claim.“No, of course not. It is fine; please come in.” I said, moving out of the door so she could enter inside. “I had just woken up not so long ago, and it wasn’t to good news.”“Yeah, about that.” She began entering the room and taking up the empty space on the sofa while her husband sat on the only chair that was in the room. “We heard, or rather saw, what happened, and we just wanted to check on you.”“Yeah, Jeremy was just telling me about it, but it is pretty much under control.” I said, shrugging my shoulders. There was no need to start remembering the hurtfu

“What have you done?” Jeremy yelled as he entered my room. I was taken aback by the outburst, and my eyebrows rose in question.“I don’t understand. What happened?” I asked, confusion written all over my face. I had just woken up from a sweet, albeit short, nap, and I was still trying to get my bearings.There was no way I would have done something between those times, except I had a Dopplerganger somewhere who was wreaking havoc when I was sleeping.Thinking of it, if I had a dopplerganger somewhere, I would want to meet with her; maybe we could exchange jobs or something.“Don’t try to play ignorant about this; your face is literally plastered all over the internet.” Jeremy barked, cutting into my thoughts.“Ohkayyy…” I dragged out the words as I was still trying to recall what bad I had done. “I mean, it should be a good thing, right? Some exposure means more opportunities.”Jeremy looked at me. His jaw was hanging low, like he couldn’t believe what I had just said, and I was even m
