Bound To The Billionaire Chapter 65
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

"Hello, Jeremy, I am Alex.” Alex said as he stood in front of him.Jeremy raised his head, startled by his voice, and he looked up at him. He had seen Alex before, but he was too blinded by jealousy to take a good look at him.And now that he was a bit clear headed, he could notice him well, and the man wasn’t bad-looking.He could understand why Ruby was still infatuated with him; plus, he was rich.“Alex.” Jeremy said, rising to his feet and stretching out his hands for a handshake. “It is nice to meet you.”“Yeah,” Alex said offhandedly. He eyed the man from head to toe, sizing up his competition. But that had to wait because they had more pressing matters. “Where is she?”“She is still inside.” Jeremy said, gesturing to the door with his head.Alex glanced at the door of what seemed to be a private ward, and he nodded. Then he turned his gaze to the man, noting how sunken his eyes looked and his hair all disheveled, and he took pity on him.“Have you been here all this while?” Ale

Alex’s ears were ringing as he heard what the doctor had said. “I am sorry; I don’t understand what you are saying. Are you sure it is Ruby?”“I am quite positive that the comatose lady was pregnant, and since you are the husband, I assume you already know about it.” The doctor frowned.Alex could only nod his head. I mean, what more could he say?“Good. Unfortunately, she lost the pregnancy, but we were able to stop the bleeding, and there are no damages to her womb.”“Thank you, doctor.” Alex could only manage to croak out.***Alex shook his head, trying to get rid of the image in front of him. He was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Ruby had been pregnant, and she didn’t seem to tell him.“Was it his?” The question lingered in his mind, and he was afraid to think the worst. “Why did she hide it? Did she think I would reject it?” All these questions filled his head, but he had no answer to them.It hurt him to think that Ruby would have kept such information from

Ruby is awake, so it is back to her POV, but I hope we have all enjoyed reading the story in the third person’s POV.Let’s get into it.***I shifted from the chair, only for me to notice that my head was on the soft surface, no doubt a mattress. I struggled, trying to open her eyes, but it was proving to be difficult.I felt warm skin covering my hand, and a sense of peace washed over me. Even if I couldn’t place the owner of the warmth, I knew it was familiar, and I had once craved it, and that was the only reason I was able to relax.“It is alright; I am here.” I heard the male voice say in my subconscious, and I felt peace within.The warmth was with me, burning bright like a blazing flame but never hot enough to burn me, and suddenly it was slipping from my hand, and I used all the strength I had in me to squeeze it.“Please don’t go.” I was saying, although I was sure my mouth wasn’t moving. But he seemed to hear me and stayed.I tried to blink away the fog that was covering my

When I woke up, it was too bright, and I was grateful for the thick curtain that shielded me from the harsh rays of the sun.My eyes scanned the whole expanse of the room—something seemed to be lacking. Yeah, I was right; I couldn’t perceive the scent of Alex’s cologne, and he wasn’t anywhere in the room. For a second, fear gripped my heart as different thoughts began to race through my mind.Has he finally gotten tired of all my baggage and left me? I raised my head in an attempt to stand up, and I found out that 70% of the pain I was feeling was gone.I shifted, ready to stand up, but the door swung open to reveal Alex looking every bit like an avenging warrior. “Alex.” I shouted, excited, but I only ended up stressing myself, and I burst into a bit of a cough.Alex was rushing to my side, and I don’t know how he did it, but he was holding a bottle of water in his hands, and he was holding my head, directing my mouth to the bottle.“Easy.” He said as I rushed the water, and it flew

We sat in the car as it glided smoothly on the road, but I wasn’t concerned about what was happening around me. All I was concerned with was trying to compose what I was going to say to Alex when we got home.It was too late because before I could process my thoughts, the car stopped in front of my house, and my heart rate picked up just looking at it. All of a sudden, it felt a little strange.The little garden I have been taking care of has started growing back. “Careful,” Alex said as he helped me out of the car.“Just lean on me, and I will help you.” He said, and I leaned toward him, letting him lead me inside.I watched as he was taking charge of everything, even inputting my code, and I was in awe. How did he manage to know all these things? I couldn’t remember telling him. Maybe it was Jeremy.But it was so hot watching him take control.I held my breath unconsciously as the door opened, not knowing what to expect. If I was correct, the living room should be bloody and probabl

“You had no right to do it.” I repeated it in a small voice, but that was his undoing. Alex's eyes narrowed in slits, his hands tightened in a fist, and he looked at me with murderous intent.“The fuck I do. What the fuck is wrong with you?” He yelled, his veins popping from his neck.He was so angry that his hands were shaking, and I was suddenly afraid for my life.I knew that he could never hurt me; I was convincing myself that he wouldn't, and that was the only reason I was still standing there confidently.“Alex, take it easy; you are getting angry.” I said in a bid to calm him down, but I should have known that it was only going to aggravate him.“Do not tell me to calm down, Ruby. I can’t believe you decided that leaving me in the dark was the best thing to do.”Now it was my turn to get angry. “Don’t give me that bullshit; I don’t know if you have forgotten, but we are no longer together; we were even on the verge of divorce, and if the judge had granted our request, we would n

The next morning, I was dragging my bags behind me as I went outside. Noah had called yesterday to tell me that he had booked a nice getaway place, but I had asked him to keep it a secret for me to add to the suspense. I went outside, struggling to drag the gigantic bags I had brought along with me. I don’t even know why I brought them when I was sure I was going to be indoors most of the time. However, it was better to come prepared for anything that might happen. Who knows? I could meet the love of my life there, and we may decide to wed there. The black Hyundai was parked in front of my house, and I came out, wearing a cute little sundress and huge sunglasses on my eyes, shielding myself from the fact that I had been crying myself to sleep yesterday. “Miss Ruby?” The driver smiled as he opened the door for me, and I reciprocate the gesture. It felt so weird to smile with all the turmoil going on in my life, but I had to be polite. I entered the vehicle, and it was smooth sailin

Honestly, this wasn’t how I imagined the book to end.

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
