Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Drugged
Nikki ran behind me as I purposefully strode towards the restroom. We checked the entire stall, but there was no sign of my wife. “Let's check the rooms upstairs,” She suggested when we didn't see her out here. “I checked in the dance floor before I ran outside to check on her. She might be up there.”Without waiting for her to repeat those words, I ran upstairs not mindful of the owners of the damned house. The entire doors up here were closed. “How do we know if she's here?” I glanced around the empty halls as I tried to think of how to look for her.“Let's check the rooms for her,” Nikki suggested as she strode over to the door by her right. “We just need to—” The words froze in her throat when we heard a sound from the last door. It sounded like someone struggling. Nikki and I exchanged a look at the sound. Without a waste of time, Nikki and I ran towards the door. I opened the door, and strode in, just to see a sight that left my blood boiling with anger.My wife lay on the

JewelI slowly opened my eyes, only to close it back because of the light coming in from the window.Since when did my bed face the window? I slowly opened my eyes to look at the strange curtains. I had to squint to be certain my eyes weren't deceiving me. Sure enough, I'm not in my room, but in my husband's. There is no way I could have mistaken those odd curtains of his. What am I doing in his room? I wondered aloud as I stared at his window. I tried to rise from the bed, only to fall back. My entire body hurts, and it felt as if I was hit with a metal. The headache was more than I can explain.I tried to sit up once more, but a searing pain from my lower body, caused me to groan.“God,” I fell back on the bed. There was a pain in my lower back. It seemed like I had a boxing match with one of those muscled men in movies. Turning my head seemed like a hassle on its own. “Are you awake?” Miguel asked as he approached my bed. His footsteps were what I heard before he made an appea

“What? You have been going through something like this without telling me?” Nikki yelled at me when I explained everything to her.I had to let her know, so she could take me to the hospital without alerting her brother of it. I don't need Miguel to know about my problem until it works —if it does.“Have you told my brother?” She asked the moment she drove the car out of the compound. “Does Miguel know about your uhm... Medical complications?” “No, he doesn't. And I don't intend to let him know until I'm certain this will work.” I stared out of the window as I wondered why the doctor sounded so cryptic over the phone. Could it be that there is something he noticed in my blood? I feared the answer to the question. The tone he used when he called me, didn't give anything away. Though it didn't sound all that neutral, it was nothing to raise a brow at. “You haven't told him yet?!” She shrieked. “How can you keep something as important as this from him? He's your husband, for God's sa

“I can't believe it worked!” Star yelled so loud, Nikki and I had to cover our ears to avoid getting our drums burst. “Oh, my God! I'm so happy!” She yelled, looking like she was the one in my place. I smiled at her, “yes, it worked!” Tears of joy slid down my eyes. I couldn't control how happy I was.“Of course, it did! Are you going to tell your husband about it? It's good news, obviously, so.....”She trailed off when my phone dinged with a notification. I opened it, to see that it was a message from my husband. Miguel: I will be late in returning. Don't wait for me. Go to sleep. I might return tomorrow.I reread the message before I frowned. Why did he send a message instead of calling?“What's wrong?” Nikki took the phone from me, and read the message before a frown graced her face. “Why do I feel like the message doesn't sound like my brother?”“Same thoughts,” Star who also read the message concurred. “Let me call him.” I dialled his number, and it rang twice, but he didn't

After the call from Pearl, she switched Miguel's phone off. We called him countless times, but he wasn't reachable.Star and Nikki slept in my room as they tried to console me and take my mind off what happened. And they were successful in that. I forgot all about it until his return. He returned late in the afternoon, looking like a person who was run through by a trailer. His hair seemed like something he ran his hands through countless times. There were bags around his eyes, and his clothes looked too rumpled. This was the first time I have witnessed him in such a state. The Miguel I know, won't be caught dead in such a state, but here he is, looking like a homeless man.We were watching a drama when he arrived. None of us said a word as we watched him. Nikki paused the drama, and folded her arms, looking like a mother who caught her son sneaking into the home after partying all night. “Jewel?” He furrowed his brows, “What happened to your eyes? Were you crying?” He took a ste

MiguelIt has been a week since the incident. Though my wife said she has forgiven me, I can tell she's always watching me as if waiting for me to take a misstep. I checked the time on my wristwatch. My wife said she has a surprise for me this evening, and I'm eager to get everything done, so I could spend the night with her, and get to know what the surprise she's talking about is. I glanced at the papers my director brought for a check. “What of the files I asked you to get ready? Are they set?” I asked as I read through the headings. “No, sir. There was an error in the first one. We are trying to correct the errors. I will send the completed ones to your email.” He replied in a tone that made it obvious he didn't wish to anger me. “Okay.'' I nodded as I checked the time on my wristwatch. It's remaining three hours before I return home. Jewel went to school after close to a month of necessary leave. She called earlier to complain about the workload she met on her resumption day

JewelI was supposed to be at home, going through the loads of assignments I was given, but here I am, going towards my husband's office. I checked the time on my wristwatch before a frown graced my face. Nikki and Star dumped my sorry arse in front of my husband's company the moment they tricked me into coming out with them.I thought we were going to the mall until I was dumped here. They were eager to have me tell my husband the good news, and that's what I'm going to do. I can't wait to see the joy in his eyes when he realizes he's going to be a father, soon.I touched my stomach as a smile graced my face. Finally, I don't have to keep things from him any more. I will tell him about the appointments I had with the doctors, and give him—My phone rang that moment, and I answered without checking the caller ID. Aside from Miguel, P, Nikki and Star, no one else knows my number. “Hello?”“Jewel?” I was shocked when I heard her voice. My hand paused on the elevator button that I wa

Miguel called out to me as he chased me, but I didn't stop. I ran past his secretary, to the elevator, and pressed the button. I slipped in, and it closed before he could catch up with me. Had he left his office at the same time I did, he would have caught up with me before I could leave. Nikki was the one I called, and she answered on the second ring. “What's wrong? Have you told him yet? What did he say? Was he thrilled?” She asked, sounding excited. “Where are you guys? Come and pick me up,” I said in a hasty tone as I counted the numbers. “We are nearby. But why do you need us to pick you up? Aren't you returning with your husband? Is he—” “Come and pick me up. There's something I need to do. It's time-sensitive.” “Ok—” I disconnected as I ran out of the elevator. I glanced towards his stairs before I dashed for the door, not mindful of the stares I got from his workers, who were probably wondering why I was running like a fool. Nikki and Star weren't around when I exite

They stared at him, looking confused. “Mum, what's he doing here?” Jane asked, still looking at him. She only spared a look at me before she turned her entire focus on him. “Come on, babies.” Miguel motioned for them to come close to him. When they didn't go to him, he glanced up at me. “I thought you weren't coming back. I intended to relocate to the street, you live with them.” He smiled at me, "I have made the plans already. Implementing it was my next plan." “You stupid man!” I closed the distance between us and enveloped him in a hug. He rose from the ground and twirled me in the air. I chuckled at the feeling of being lifted by him. I felt light as he held me up like a baby. "Put me down!" I said in a voice that doesn't sound as commanding as it should. You can't blame me. Having him carry me is something I wish he can do all the time. “Mum, why are you hugging him?!” Jane shouted. While the others stared at me with shocked expressions on their faces.“Oh.” I chuckled as
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire A surprise
“Is our new home that far?” Jill yawned, already tired of the ride. It's not a secret that my kids hate trips since we have been going on numerous trips since they were born. I chuckled at the impatient expression on her face. “It's not that far. Don't worry, we are almost there.”We would have been there long ago had I driven like before. But no, I had to be extra careful on the road to prevent my happiness from taking the upper hand and leading me to something I might regret. “Can you get an ice cream for us?” Jane rubbed her eyes. “I'm tired.”“Do you want an ice cream now or when we reach?” I glanced at them through the mirror. “Now!” they chorused together, not taking a moment to think. “Okay.”And like that, a journey that would have taken us an hour max, took us two hours and thirty minutes to arrive. I had to buy their favourite ice cream for them.I drove straight to Miguel's mansion. Luckily, he wasn't back by the time we arrived. His guards let me in as if it's natural
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire I'm leaving
“And if it's not my charming friend.” Phil beamed as he sat opposite me. He looked like he rushed, to get here. I don't blame him because I just suddenly called and asked him to meet me. I returned from Miguel's house an hour ago, to make it in time to bring my kids home. “You took your time, didn't you?” I frowned at him, “I was intending to leave before you arrived.” I pretended like I was angry at him when I wasn't. “I'm sorry. There was something I needed to take care of. Don't be offended, okay?” He grinned.“Even if I want to be annoyed with you, I can't,” I pouted. “You are just too cute for me to be angry at you.”“See? I'm too handsome for you to be angry with me.” He placed both hands on his cheeks, “So, why did you call me here? I know it's not to drink coffee.” He glanced around at the almost empty café, “it's almost evening!”“I'm leaving.”“So soon? I only came — wait a minute, what do you mean by you are leaving?” He gaped at me, staring at me as if I had somehow lo
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire A confession (NSFW)
I sent my kids to school and decided to drive to work. When I left Miguel, I only contacted Nikki and Star. It was with their help that I got back on my feet until I met a kind old man. He was the CEO of Dabris, and he gave his shares and the company to me because he was too old to handle it, and his company was going bankrupt. That was how I became a CEO and each day, I work to prove that he can trust me. Though he's not in this world any more, I still have this need to make him proud of me. I got a notification on my phone, and I slid it up, to see a message. I frowned at the content. Why the hell will someone ask me to listen to the news?I packed my car to the side of the road, and switched the radio on, to the station the message spoke of.“Hello, everyone.” I was shocked when I recognized Miguel's voice. There is no way I won't recognize his voice, even through the radio. “So, I was a douche to my wife. I treated her badly, and I'm here to ask for forgiveness.....” There wa
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Apologize properly
I didn't hear from Miguel after a week. It was as if he had given up, which I'm grateful for. I stopped looking back as I left my house, trying to pretend like everything was normal when it wasn't. I know it will only be a matter of time before he starts disturbing, me once more. I hurried over to my children's school, packed my car and went over to their playground when I didn't see them waiting for me at the security office like they normally do.From afar, I saw my kids standing together, with — Miguel? With my heart beating fast, I hastened towards them at the sight of his familiar stature.No.This can't be happening.How did he enter the school without permission?God. I quickened my pace towards them.Miguel had his back on me, so he didn't see me until I reached where they were.“Jane, Jill, James!” I called out to them as I hurried towards them.“Mum!” They ran towards me at the sound of my voice. And that was when Miguel turned.He looked as shocked to see me as I was to

Phil took me back to the office before he returned to his office. I met him two years ago when he came for an interview. He was fun on our first meeting, and we clicked it off —as friends. I know he feels something for me, but I don't feel anything for him, and I have never led him on. He's aware that I don't do relationships, and I don't want anything about that. Ever since I left Miguel, I have stayed single, training my cute bundle of joys, who are all I have left after the messy relationship I had with Miguel. Though they remind me so much of him, I won't trade them for anything in the entire world because they are all I have. They are my life, and I will forever be grateful to Miguel for making me a mother. I drove to their school the moment it was four. I spent the last hours thinking of my stupid husband and the expression that was on his face when I left with Phil. “Mum!” Jill called out as she raced towards me. “Hey! Wait for me,” James shrieked, trying to keep up with
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire He's my boyfriend
JewelI strode into his office for the first time in years. Nothing has changed. Aside from the new interior design, and change of colours. The shocked expression on Miguel's face was more than I comprehended. My mouth curved up in a smile, but I tampered with it. “Good morning, Mr Miguel,” I professionally smiled at him. “I trust my secretary filled you up on what I request for a partnership?” I strode over to one of the chairs in the boardroom, and sat on it, with my legs crossed, while Miguel stood shocked still staring at me like one who has seen a ghost.The years haven't been good for him. He looked older than ever, with his hair duller. There are dark lines under his eyes, making him look sleep-deprived.“Jewel?” He swallowed. “I'm afraid we are not that familiar with each other, Mr Miguel. I will prefer if you call me, Miss.” I smiled at him, “should we continue?” “Where have you been? I have sought for you throughout—” “I'm afraid you are mistaking me for someone else, M
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire An unexpected meeting
MiguelIt has been five freaking years since Jewel left. I have tried to locate her, but haven't been successful. I tried every means possible to locate her, but it seemed like she disappeared into thin air. I ran a hand through my hair as I stared at the piles of files in front of me. For five years, I have buried myself in my work, trying to lessen the thoughts of my wife, but nothing seems to help. I'm always thinking of her, and the mistake I made those years ago. Back then, I knew that Pearl was lying, but I needed enough evidence against her. That was why I attempted to play to the beat of her music. However, it cost me my priceless jewel. If only I didn't do that. Had I not spoken those harsh words to her, she wouldn't have left me. She would have still been here with me. I stared at my window. Star and Nikki left the house a week after Jewel disappeared. Until now, they have not contacted me because they blamed me so much for what happened five years ago. And I take the b
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire She will stay here
I didn't go to school because my mind was filled with thoughts of my husband and the words he spoke to me last night. As much as I tried to, I couldn't forget the bite of those words. I stared into space as I tried not to think of it, but each minute, my mind kept on repeating those words as if it were trying to remind me of what a douche my husband is.I checked my phone as if I were expecting a call from him. But there was nothing. He didn't so much as send a message to me. I rolled on the bed and would have continued to think had it not been for my baby that decided it was time to eat. I slowly rose from the bed and walked out of my room, to get breakfast.“Aunt Star, your nephew wants to eat,” I cheerfully said when I entered the kitchen. Both Nikki and Star turned to look at me with puzzled expressions on their faces. The way they stared at me made it seem like they were wondering what was going on with me. “You're acting rather strange, Jewel. Could it be the pregnancy?” Sta
