Jewel's POV

I thought I will meet Miguel during breakfast, but I learned from Nikki, that he left early for work. And that was saying something since I woke up early.

Though she claimed he only left because of his work, deep down, I know the reason he did so.

He's avoiding me because of last night.

If only I had known, I wouldn't have said anything about it.

I leaned on the bench under the tree opposite the school's gate, to wait for Star, who was running late because there are things she needed to take care of at school.

I would have gone home on my own, but I know Miguel will blow a racket should he get to learn that I went home alone.

My phone started ringing, cutting me off from my thoughts.

The caller ID caused my heart to skip a beat.

It was the same number that called me those nights ago.

Without a waste of time, I picked up the call.

“I believe you've been trying to connect to me, haven't you?” The man asked.

“And why wasn't it possible? Who the hell are you?”

    “What?” I widened my eyes. “Let's go. She's not worth my time.” Nikki took my hand in hers and turned. “Let's check the other stores. This place isn't worth it if someone like her buys things here.” Before I could so much blink, she dragged me out of the store and headed to the one opposite it. “What's wrong? Why did you drag me out?” I frowned at a scowling Nikki. “That woman there is Pearl. She's your husband's ex-girlfriend.” She said as if that explained the hastiness in her steps.“Hmm.” "Stupid ugly ex!" She murmured under her breath, sounding super pissed. I couldn't help, but compare myself to Miguel's supposed ex-girlfriend.Compared to her, I look like a maid, while she looks like a model. And that made me wonder why Miguel left her. Could it be that she was the one who dumped him?“She's beautiful.” I murmured. “Just like a snake before it bites. She's an ugly bitch who doesn't mind the number of people she takes down if it means she gets to achieve her goals.In th

    Miguel's POVI headed into my company and was welcomed with stares from my workers. It was too much, to the point that I noticed it. However, whenever I turned towards them, they turned their faces back to the task they had in hand.I furrowed my brows as I wondered the reason for the odd behaviour. Could it be that something happened in the office, in my absence?I hurried towards my elevator and swiped my card on it. The stares stopped the moment I stepped into the elevator, and it resumed the moment I strode out of it. This time, it was my secretary who had her entire focus on me. “Good morning, boss!” She yelled, with her eyes glued on me. “Hmm.”I chose to ignore her gaze as I strode past her and made to enter my office. “Why are you dressed this way, boss? Is there any problem?” She pursed her lips.From the way her mouth shook, I can tell she was trying not to laugh. “What's wrong with the way I dressed?” I glared at her. After all, she's to be blamed for this. Had sh

    Jewel's POVStar and I visited the hospital after my class. Though she tried to cheer me up, I felt down. During the examination, the doctor also tried to cheer me up, but it was to no avail. It wasn't until I saw the results of the test, that I smiled a bit.“You are showing positive signs.” He nodded with a smile. “If you continue with this, I guarantee, there will be good news.”I smiled at that. “Thank you, doctor.” “You don't have to thank me. Your determination is part of your success.” He smiled at me.I thanked him before I exited his office. Star, who was playing with her phone, stood up from her chair the moment she saw me. “How was it? Any success?” She asked, eager to know the results.“The doctor said there is hope.” I beamed, “he said I can get pregnant.”“Yeah!” She shrieked so loud that it earned us stares from those around her.“Hush! You are embarrassing me!” I gritted out through clenched teeth.“I can yell all I want. You don't have to hush me.” She carried my

    I stepped out of the car and waved at Nikki, who was hell-bent on sending me off. Star would have joined her, but she had an assignment to complete.She only tasked Nikki with the duty of making certain I arrived on time. “If he tries anything funny with you, Jewel, give me a call. I will break his legs and punch him in his damned mouth.” Nikki said in a serious tone. It made me wonder who among us is related to her. You would have thought I was her sister, and Miguel, her brother-in-law.“You don't have to worry about me.” I waved at her before I hurried towards the restaurant Miguel sent an address for.Eyes turned the moment I stepped into the place.Good. This is the reaction I want.I'm dressed in a body-con strapless short wine-red gown, which stopped mid-thigh, leaving my creamy thighs on display. My blonde hair cascaded down my back, stopping mid-waist. The nude heels I wore, made me taller and sexier. I put on a seductive smile the moment I walked in. The stares from t

    “What are you talking about?” He narrowed his eyes at me. “I've never flirted with any woman since the day I set my eyes on you.”“And you want me to believe that?” I scoffed. “That's the truth.” He made to touch my hair, but I slapped his hand off. “Why were you with your ex? Have you gotten tired of me? Is it because I'm not as beautiful as her? At least, if you will cheat on me, do so discreetly!”“My ex?” He furrowed his brows at me. “What do you mean by cheating on you with my ex?”“Don't you dare try to deny it.” I folded my arms and narrowed my eyes at him. “Star and I saw you at the mall with her.” “Pearl?” A confused frown graced his face before it turned into a smirk. “Are you jealous?”“Jealous my foot!” I glared at him. “If you are tired of me, you can tell me. There is no need to move behind my back.” Though it hurts to think of it, I won't let him know that. He chuckled. “As much as I would have loved to see your jealous face, there is something you need to know, Je

    Miguel's POVI can't tell why, but I feel like something about Jewel changed. Not only did she give me the cold shoulder when we arrived home, but she didn't let me into her room, claiming she was too tired to entertain me, not that I asked her to do so. And that's the craziest part. I paid Nikki some money, to get her to tell her what her problem is, but I doubt she will be successful. I would have asked Star for help, but for some reason, she now has her entire loyalty towards Jewel. She doesn't listen to me anymore.I can tell that all the women in my house seem to be conspiring against me.Nikki was once by my side, but now, I doubt she even sees me as anything but a money-making machine. “Boss.”My Secretary knocked on the door. “Come in.”I turned my focus to the door the moment she stepped in, like a little girl trying to steal some sugar. “What's so time-sensitive that you can't speak about it on the phone? You could have used the office line," I snapped at her, feeling

    Jewel's POV“We wasted precious time in going to the hospital.” Star plopped down on the couch, with her hands placed on her face as she tried not to moan in disappointment. “We wouldn't have wasted any time had I charged my phone last night.” I glanced at my phone, which is currently charging. “I believe he might have called me, only to realize my number wasn't available." “Hmm.” Star sat up, “so, what do you want to do before your husband returns?”“Homework?” I carried my backpack from the floor I dropped on when we arrived. "There are things I need to browse about. Can you—" “You are no fun," she moaned. Have I ever been any fun? Aside from the time we raced through the compound, to get out, so I can attend the weekly ball, we have never had any fun. “Is Nikki back?”“I doubt that.” She leaned back on the couch. “Should we watch a series? There's a new one I found!”“No, I —” The front door opened, and Miguel stepped in.“You are back early?” I raised a brow at him before

    "And that's the last of the assignment.” I grinned, “Thank you.”Writing my assignments alone isn't as fun as writing them with him. The way he gently ruffled my hair as I wrote, and how much he praised me for being smart, made it all the more worthwhile. Though I wasn't all that clever, he made me feel like I'm the most intelligent student in the entire world. “It's no worry.” He grinned, “now, what do you want to do next? Should we take a walk around the compound, swim in the pool, or watch one of your favourite dramas?”“Hmm.” I placed a hand under my jaw. “None.”“None? Why? Do you wish to sleep?” He raised a brow. “Hmm, I do want to sleep, but not alone. If you get what I mean?” I beamed. His hand which he lifted, to ruffle my hair, froze in the air. He looked as if he didn't know what to do. “What?”I carried my bag up from the floor we worked my assignments on, and took it to the only table in my room before I returned to where he was. This time, I didn't sit on the floor

    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

    “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

    “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

    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

    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

    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

    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
