Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire The step sister
I got ready for dinner.Though I never wanted to return home, I had to dress my best, to show my stepmother that I'm not the little girl who left the house close to two years ago. I wore one of the gowns Miguel got for me. It's an off-shoulder strapless short-sleeved backless body-con red gown which I paired off with the nude heels I got, but never thought I will have a reason to put them on. “Jewel?”Miguel knocked on my door as I was dabbing my face with the powder Star gifted me. I didn't bother tying my hair. I left it to cascade down my back.“I'm almost through!”I took the red purse which I kept on the bed and stuffed my phone in it before I raced to the door. It was a feat running in such high heels. I opened the door and faced my husband, who looked like he was moments from breaking the door, to get to me. “I apologize for the time waste. I had to be presentable enough.” I glanced up at my husband.Dressed in a golden suit, he reminded me so much of Day. There was a
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Déjà Vu
Miguel's POVI watched Jewel as she entered her house. “Today, I will get to the root of the matter.” I tightly clenched my fists on the steering of my car. It was in this house that I overheard the plot she had with her stepmother.That was one of the reasons I treated her like trash.I was afraid of what she might do to me should I get closer to her. And at the same time, I never wanted my opinions of her to change when she does according to her stepmother's plans. I stayed in the car for a short while before I got down from it. Jeremiah's family house was still the same. There was no obvious change to it. And that made me wonder what they used the money I signed off to them, for. Before I got married to Jewel, I paid 100 million into her father's account as the bride price. But aside from the new store they opened in the heart of the city, there was no other improvement. Could it be that the money wasn't enough, or they used it for personal gains? I knocked on the door of the h
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Shameless stepfamily
Jewel's POVDespite the audacious words I said to my stepmother, I can't help the thoughts that went through my mind as I thought of what she might do to my mother's paintings. At the same time, I can't do what she asked. Miguel might not love me, but that doesn't mean he deserves the evil plot she has in mind. “You will regret this, Jewel!” She shrieked like a banshee. “No, you will regret this.” I turned my back to her. “I don't care what you threaten me with, I can do all things but betray Miguel. He hasn't done anything to me!” I clenched my jaws.“Oh, you are siding with him now, aren't you?” She scoffed. “Tell me, have you fallen in love with him?”I turned at her question, “It doesn't matter if I've done so. It's not a concern to you.” I turned and left the dark garden. The moment I stepped out of the place, I almost collided with Miguel.“Steady.” He placed his hands on my shoulders.I peered up at him. “What are you doing here?”Though I wanted to ask if he overheard the c
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Please, sleep with me
I sat across from the young woman, whose deadly stares were enough to burn me to ashes. If looks can kill, which luckily, they can't, I would have been long dead. The woman sitting across from me doesn't look that older than me. She looks to be in her early twenties, which made her more of a threat.She was dressed in a black off-shoulder gown, with a golden belt around her tummy. Her red hair was packed in a half ponytail, with the front in a ponytail, while the back was left to cascade down her back. I wrinkled my nose as I watched her, to know what tricks she has up her sleeves. So far, she hasn't asked Miguel whether I was a secretary or not. I guess she doesn't want to ask, fearing what the answer might be. “So, is this all?” Miguel glanced through the file she presented the moment we came in. “Yeah.” She nodded with a smile. “You could have asked for my manager or the director in charge. Why did you ask me here?” Miguel folded his arms. “This isn't as trivial as you made it
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire How do you take someone out on a date?
Miguel's POVI froze when I heard her words. It seemed like my mind momentarily stopped working. I blinked as I tried to understand the words she just spoke. “Pardon?”“I don't want to sleep alone tonight.” She kept her gaze on my suit jacket. “Can you please spend the night with me? That's all I ask for.”I gulped. “Okay. Let me change out of my suits, and bathe. I will be in your room after that.”I didn't ask why she asked that of me today. She has never asked me to do that, and that was why I didn't question her. “Okay.”She turned and entered her room, while I hurried over to mine, to have my bathe. God.My heart was beating miles a minute at the thought of what might happen. I was both excited and nervous. I've only slept on the same bed with my wife, once, and that was the day ago. Could it be that she has got used to the feel of my arms around her? I bit my lower lip as I tried not to think much of it. I hurriedly had my bathe before I wore a singlet and the newest boxers
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire Where are you taking me to?
Jewel's POV“God, today was hectic.” I glanced towards Star, who was listening to music on her phone. She only had an earpiece in one ear, leaving the other open, so she could hear what I was saying. “You've always wanted to attend a university, haven't you? Why are you complaining only after the first day?” She raised a brow.“It has been long since I've last been in school. You can't fault me for this, can you?” I tried not to roll my eyes at her. “Why won't I do that?” She scrolled through her phone. “Not only am I tasked with babysitting you at home, but I got to bring you back home after classes. God, can you and your husband have mercy on this soul?” She sighed. “Hmm. I heard your salary was doubled. I think I will have Miguel reduce—”“Don't you dare!” She narrowed her eyes at me. “If you dare do that, I will have your head!” She threatened.“Then, I will tell Miguel that you are threatening my life. He will change you—”“Okay, what do you want to talk about?” She removed the

I can't tell how long he drove until he reached a bridge, which I'd never seen. And for a moment, I recalled the words he said about selling me. Could it be that he was telling the truth when he said those words?My heart skipped a beat, and my palms got a bit sweaty.I gulped as I tried not to show how nervous I was.“Relax.” He glanced at me. “Your thoughts are too obvious. Do you think I will sell you when you don't look like you can fetch any money?” He pursed his lips. I huffed in anger. “It's okay. You don't have to appear like I killed you with my words. I didn't do that, did I?” He drove through the less busy bridge and turned to the right. All my life, though I live in this city, I've never been to this place.Miguel only drove half a mile before he turned the corner. All around us were bushes. It doesn't even seem like this place was inhabited.I glanced at my bag that housed my phone, and for the first time, I regretted not giving Star my number. If I had done so, I wo
Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire You don't know what you are asking for
Miguel didn't react. He froze under me, with his mouth tightly shut, and his hands clenched.“What's wrong with you?” I sat up on the bed, and the blanket gave way to the sheer nightgown I was putting on. He swallowed as he tried not to look at my chest.“You don't know what you are asking for, Jewel.” He sat up on the bed and faced me.“Why? Do you still think I'm a kid?” I bit the bottom of my lips as I tried not to let my lower lips tremble. I won't let him know how much his words affected me. It would have been better if he rejected me out rightly. Using such a caring tone as he rejects me, makes me feel like the worst scum on Earth.“No, that's not it.” He tried to touch me, but I moved back. “Should we start now, I don't guarantee that I will stop, even if you beg for me to do that?”His words caused me to gasp. And here I was thinking he didn't want to be intimate with me.“Then, don't stop.” I leaned closer to him, “I don't ever want you to stop.” It's not like my cries bac

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
