Bound To The Billionaire Chapter 58
In all the times that I had known Jeremy, this was the first time I heard such a tone from him, and I couldn’t bear to hear it. It was monotone and dull, as if all life had been sucked out of him and there was nothing else he would do.“Jeremy?” I came closer to him, but he shifted away from me, and that hurt me more than I could have imagined.“I must apologize; I didn’t know you had a visitor. I will be on my way now, but here, I have something for you.” He said, stretching his hand towards me to reveal a hint box. “Goodbye,” he said, turning to go, but I held his hands to prevent him from doing so.“You just came here; surely you can’t just leave like that,” I said to him, completely ignoring Alex.“I don’t see any need for me to stay here any longer; you have a visitor, and you seemed to be busy. I wouldn’t want to disturb what you have.”I rolled my eyes at him. Men, why do they have so much ego?“Come on, it wouldn’t be bad if we could all gather in the living room and celebrate

I waited for a moment, watching his ripped back as he went far away from me, and I whispered to the air, hoping it would carry it to him. “I will miss you, Jeremy.”I got on with watching until he disappeared completely from my sight, and I went back inside to meet Alex. The oblivious man was still sitting in the same spot I had left him. I came to meet him, and he took one look at my demeanor and was instantly standing up.“What is wrong? Did he hurt you? Because I swear I will make him pay.” I shook my head, indicating he didn't, and before I could say anything, the floodgates opened and I began to cry.Alex was at a loss for words, seeing me in such a state, and he had no idea what to do. Instead, he held me and drew me closer, hugging me tight.“It is alright.’ He kept on whispering gently on and on, allowing me to cry out of my heart. And whenever I wanted to stop, I would hear his gentle voice coursing through me, and I would begin another round of tears.I cried until I couldn’

“Fucking hell.” Alex growled as he saw me, and he was already on his feet, walking towards me as if he were enchanted. “Ruby.” He groaned as if he were in pain.“How do I look?” I asked, twirling for him. I already knew the answer from the way he was devouring me, but I needed to hear him say it.“Magnificent. If you weren’t single, I would have fought your man just to be with you.” Alex had said, and I shielded my mouth with my hands as I laughed.His eyes raked over my entire being, looking at me appreciatively, and I was beaming with pride. I have never been so happy that I got this dress.“I think you have asthma because anytime I see you, you take my breath away,” Alex said, and I was shaking my head, almost doubling in laughter.I think I like this new side of Alex; he was flirtatious and fun—everything the old one wasn’t.“Shall we, my lady?” He held out his arms for me, and I gladly took them.“Of course, my prince.” I took his arms and let him lead me out, but not before turn

I couldn’t keep off the nagging voice in my head as I made it to my hospital appointment, and all the while I was occupied thinking about the last time I got my implant.It has become a part of me so much that I have forgotten about it, and now I am regretting it. I have been unsafe for the past month, and I needed to be sure.I arrived at the hospital and headed straight to the fertility clinic, wearing huge sunglasses even though I was inside. I was trying to avoid an unnecessary run-in with someone I know.I sat in the waiting area, waiting for my turn, while I busied myself with my calendar, trying to remember the last time I had a period.All that was only giving me headaches, and I couldn’t be more grateful when the doctor called my name and I entered in.“Miss Ruby, it has been a while.” The female doctor said with a huge smile that threatened to tear her lips. It was even surprising that she remembered me because I couldn’t remember the last time I was here, nor could I rememb

I came to that conclusion after I had imagined what my life would be like, and I knew I wasn’t ready for a child yet.Tomorrow, I was going to go back to that clinic, and I was getting rid of the child. I don’t care what the consequence is, but I was not ready to burden myself with this labor when I was still young.A nagging voice was prompting me to tell Alex. “He is also the father of the child; he had every right to know.”But I couldn’t tell him; Alex would be so excited. He had told me his plans for a large family, and he would insist I keep them, and I didn’t want to do that.I rubbed my temple with my thumb and forefinger as I felt the onset of a headache coming on. Today has been particularly stressful; in fact, the whole of the week has, and I was trying my best to remain calm.Tomorrow was a work day, and I guarantee that I would be much happier after I immersed myself in it. Then, come evening, I would be rid of this unwanted stress growing inside me, and my life would be

“I want an abortion.”Everywhere grew still as I proclaimed the words; even the air was static, as if the world were in shock at what I had just said.I didn’t even need to look at her face to know that the doctor was in shock. I mean, I wasn’t a teenager who wanted to get rid of an unplanned pregnancy; I was an adult, and many people my age would be looking for children now.But here I was, doing the opposite.I looked up at her, and her mouth was slightly open; her brown eyes widened a quarter, but she shook herself out of the daze.“I don’t know if I heard you correctly.”I smiled and nodded my head, not taking offense. Although abortion has been legal in the state of Washington for a while, it is still frowned upon."Yes, you heard right. I want an abortion.”“Alright.” She replied, although I knew that wasn’t all she had to say, so I decided to rescue her. “It is fine; you can ask me if you want to.”“I don’t want to pry, but I have been your gynecologist for a long time, and I am

Just a disclaimer: I will be telling this chapter and probably the next chapter in a third-person POV so we can better understand it.But be rest assured that the rest of the story will be from Ruby’s POV. Enjoy.Jeremy was on his desk, enjoying the rich taste of his latte as he worked on his laptop. Last week was challenging enough for him, and he hasn’t been able to focus on his work.He had gotten a reality check when he saw how happy Ruby was with her ex—or whatever the man was to her—and he backed down.It wasn’t an easy one, but he had made a promise to himself to try and forget her, and that was what he had been trying to do.He wasn’t going to lie; it was a difficult task since he had loved Ruby ever since, but it hadn’t been days now, and he was coming back to his normal life.He even noticed that his secretary was a beautiful young woman since all the years she has been working with him.Yeah, that was how blinded he was with Ruby.Jeremy was occasionally sipping from his co

Jeremy’s fingers hovered on the screen of the phone, contemplating his decision. “Is there a need for it?” He couldn’t help but wonder.If he could have his way, he wouldn’t bother, but with their new relationship status—whatever it was, it was only right that he knew.If he were the one in that position, he would be happy if he was told the truth, no matter how bad it was.And that was the only reason he was scrolling through her contacts to look for Alex. He found it easily since she had saved his name with Alex.Something he was grateful for.If Ruby had saved it as anything else, maybe a pet name, he would have lost it.“This is for Ruby.” Jeremy said underneath his breath before he clicked on the contact and called him.He held his breath as the phone rang, suddenly believing he had done the wrong thing and praying he didn’t pick up the call.He should have prayed harder because after the fourth rang, the person on the other end picked up the call.“Ruby?” Alex's baritone voice b

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
