Bound To The Billionaire Chapter 92
I had told the mayor of my plans to provide more shelter in New York, and he seemed intrigued. “That is really interesting; you spoke like you really had passion for this cause. Why do you think it is important?”This was a trick question. He was trying to throw me off balance, but I was ready for this. I took a deep breath as if I were contemplating the question, and I started talking. “I am aware that New York has a growing problem with homelessness. You walk through some streets, and you see people sleeping wherever there is a shade. I would understand this more because I grew up in New York and have been part of those people.”His ears pricked as he heard that, and his eyes softened, barely believing what he had just heard, but I knew I had gotten to him.“Let me tell you a little secret, mayor.” The mayor was nodding his head, eager to hear whatever I had to divulge. In that moment, my eyes met with Jeremy, who was doing his own share of networking, and we shared a smile. “I am an

We came back from the event late in the evening, and everyone was beat. I had worn myself out socially so much that I didn’t want anything to do with it for a long time.How do social butterflies do it?I see people that are always in one event or another, hopping around like butterflies and making small talks, and I wonder just where they get all the strength from.I was exhausted as it is, and I was crawling to my bed, drawing the blanket all over my body, and I was falling asleep.I was awoken the next day by a knock on my door, and I was reluctant to open the door. “Ruby, open up; it is I.” I heard Jeremy said, and I was sighing.I stood up with great effort and picked up the robe that was hanging in the wardrobe, wrapped it around myself, and dragged myself to the door.I opened the door with sleepy eyes, and the first thing I saw was a cup of coffee in my line of sight. “I figured you would need this.” He said it as I was looking at it skeptically, and I nodded.I would have pref

“The winner, who is also the person with the highest number of bids, is..." The announcer paused for a moment and observed the audience, his heady eyes scanning all of us.My heart was in my mouth as I looked on, and my ears pricked to hear the result. A thought flashed through my mind, and I was shaking my head. I didn’t know what I was going to do if I didn’t win.I didn’t even want to know; I just knew that I needed to win this thing.A hand grabbed my shaking legs, halting the movement, and when I looked at the culprit, Jeremy’s eyes met mine. “It is alright; we have tried our best. Whatever the result, I know we did our best.”“Hmm.” I couldn’t bring myself to talk, but I nodded my head and placed my hands on his hands, letting the warmth comfort me.“Without further ado, the winner of the bid is none other than Elite Dwellings!”“We won!” Jeremy's reaction was immediate, and he was yelling in my ears while I was still trying to process the information. "Oh, Ruby, we won.”“Yea.”

I followed Jeremy inside, and we continued greeting people and, of course, thanking everyone who had managed to make this a success.I never knew the list was that long until my throat was parched and my mouth was aching from all the time I had spent talking, but it was worth it.Everyone had thinned out of the hall, save for me and my gang—as I fondly like to refer to them. Charles had informed us that we were going to meet with the governor tomorrow for a brief on the project so we could begin the work.We had been the last to leave, and we rode in our rented car that Charles had hired just for our convenience, and we went back to the hotel.“Alright, listen up, ladies and gentlemen.” Charles said, and we all fastened our gazes to him as he talked. “We have been able to achieve what seemed impossible, and I believe this calls for a celebration.”“Yesss…” I screamed at the top of my voice. I wanted nothing more than to party, drink, and get wasted. Alright, scratch that. Maybe I woul

“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

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

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.

“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.

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.

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
