Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Can I have your number?
Miguel has been acting weird for the past two weeks now. He seems absent-minded most of the time, and that wasn't too difficult to notice since I'm the type who's observant of their surroundings. Though I wanted to ignore him, I couldn't do that. It's unlike him to ignore me. He hasn't called me to the room and he doesn't bother me as much as he did before. He just changed. “Is anything bothering you?” I softly asked him as I sat on the cushion opposite the one he was sitting on.“Do I look like a bothered person?” He snapped at me. His eyes narrowed until I couldn't see his pupils. “No, you don't.” I forced a smile, “I was just asking because I'm worried about you. That's all.”It's not as if I have another person to be worried about. He's the only one besides Star, who I'm close to —albeit not as close as we should be. “You're worried about me?” He scoffed. “Take that your worry, and shove it wherever suits you, I want nothing of that sort.” He narrowed his eyes at me. “You….”“
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire What else do you want?
It has been two weeks since I lied to Day about not having my number offhand. Though Day never asked about it any more, I was aware that it won't be for long until he does.“Can I have this dance tonight?” Day brought his hand out in the request.I glanced around to check if people were looking our way. And sure as hell, half of the female population were. Even with the mask on, I can feel the hatred sipping out from their body as they glared daggers at me, probably thinking about how best to dispose of me should I turn out to be a threat to them.I guess I had it coming when I decided to make the owner an acquaintance.“No, I would rather not.” I turned my attention to Baddy, who was having the time of her life with her boyfriend. The two of them have gone on a date twice and found out they were compatible. Presently, they're dating.And I'm so happy for them. Though I feel left out most of the time, I can't deny that I love it whenever her eyes sparkle.“We can be them. All you ha
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Are those divorce papers?
For two days now, I've made it part of my life plan not to meet my husband. I wait until he leaves for work before going down to have breakfast, and I eat dinner before he returns from work.So far, things have been going just like I wanted. Not seeing my husband made the ache I felt in my heart diminish.I no longer feel pissed about that night. All I felt was guilt. I stayed listening until I heard him leave the house, and before long, I heard the ding of the gate as it opened for him.Despite that, I stayed in my room for three more minutes before I decided to head downstairs.I can't allow the mistakes of the last time I hid from him, to repeat themselves. The coast is clear. Everything seemed okay. The morning part has been done…“Just like I suspected.”I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard the voice of the same husband I was trying to evade.Fuck.I've been tricked twice. “Oh….” I nervously swallowed. “Why have you been avoiding me?” Miguel asked. His face was hooded.“N
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Excited
Throughout the day, I danced around my room. Had I had access to a phone, I would have posted on my F******k page all day. I kept glancing out of my window. For the first time since I got married to Miguel, I was eager for his return.I placed a palm on my heart to still it as I continued staring at the file on my bed. My husband returned earlier that night, and just like he promised when he gave the files to me, he helped me fill out the online form and took the one I'd filled out.“I will have my secretary submit this for you. Currently, it's left for you to hope for the best. Should you not meet their admission criteria, I won't give you another chance.” He took the envelope from me. “Should, in case this doesn't work, I hope you know that I've tried my best.” “It's going to work.” I placed a palm on my heart. I heard rumours about this particular university when I was still in high school. The university is said to be one that only takes the best students. No matter how rich yo
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Did you miss me?
I hurriedly opened the envelope and brought out the precious letter within it.“It's true! I got the letter!” I hastily read through the letter before I ran out of the parlour, past my husband, who was looking at me as if I'd gone crazy all of a sudden.I ran straight to Star's door and knocked on it. “What….” Star yawned. “What's it this time, Jewel?”“I got the letter for the admission exam!” I placed the said letter in her hands as I danced for joy. “Star, we did it! I passed the first test. OMG, I'm so happy!” I squealed. “Oh, my God!” Her eyes widened as she read through the letter. “Jewel, this is it?” “Of course!” I took my letter from her. “I'm going to be a university student very soon!”“I'm happy for you, baby!” Star shrieked. “This calls for a celebration!”“Of course!”“Someone needs to eat in peace!” Came the voice of my furious husband. “Can you take your yelling somewhere else?” “Oops.” I took Star's hand in mine, dragged her into her room, and shut the door.And t
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Why were you flirting with him?
Day.The name became a constant in my thoughts. I always find myself thinking of him whenever I wasn't doing anything. I can't explain how it happened, but it seemed Day now occupied my thoughts more than my husband does. “Are you ready for your Exams?” Miguel asked when I finally came downstairs. “I'm more than ready.” I grinned. “I've been ready all night.”“And it still took you an hour to get dressed?” He raised a brow at me. I blushed in embarrassment. “I was trying to dress to perfection. You can't fault me for that.”I had to change my clothes more than thrice before I decided on the one to wear, and that happened to be a button-down red shirt and black jeans. After long deliberation, I decided it was better to be simple. “Let's go.” Miguel turned and started for the door.“I haven't had breakfast yet. We can't—” I started to protest, but a glare from Miguel was all it took to shut me up. “We don't have time for breakfast, but if you think having your breakfast is far more
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire A kiss on the roof
“What do you mean by flirting? I wasn't flirting with him! I was just conversing with Pearl.”“Pearl?” Miguel turned to face me. “And who the hell is this Pearl?”“God. I can't believe you.” I turned my face to the side, pissed by his misunderstanding. The ride back to the mansion was one done in silence. None of us said any words. And neither did he try to initiate a conversation with me. The silence between us was so thick, you can cut a knife.He drove into the compound, killed the engine, and turned to me. “Jewel—”“I guess I will go in first,” I removed the seat belt and opened the door.“You were asked to come for an interview on Monday.” He said in that cold voice of his. It seemed to bite more now. “What?” I turned to him in surprise. I wasn't expecting to hear those words, at least, not this early.“The school called. You're to have an interview on Monday.” He got down from the car, and I did the same.“Wow, they are fast. When did they call you? Was it when I left the exam
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Drunk (Slightly erotic)
“What have I done!” I tugged on my hair.God. I'm the worst scum on Earth. How can I kiss a man who wasn't my husband? And not only that, but I enjoyed every moment of it. “God, Jewel. You are a slut!” I tugged on my hair as tears freely flowed down my face. Star tried to know what was wrong with me, but I didn't let her in on it. Instead, I ran through the parlour and came up to my room. A bath and insistent scrubbing on my lips didn't make me forget the feel of Day's warm mouth on mine. “Jewel, what have you done?” I felt like ripping my hair out.It was like—A knock on my door, caused me to look up. I hastily wiped the tears from my face and hastened to the door. “I'm okay, Star. You don't need to —”The words froze when I saw who it was that stood in front of my door. “Miguel?” I blinked at the sight of my husband. He was only putting on a dress shirt and red slacks, with his tie probably discarded. “Jewel.” He whispered my name, with half dilated eyed. “You are drunk.”I

Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Reunion
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
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire You have kids?
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
