Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire The phone was for me?
And I did mind my damned business. I didn't speak again until we went home; I kept mute and folded my hands. I didn't even blink when we went shopping once more. This time, I didn't bother to watch him. I just sat on the cushion in each store and watched him as if there were nothing that I needed to do. With my legs crossed, I watched Miguel, who was speaking in low tones with the assistant. They occasionally glanced at me before they turned, and started whispering once more. Hmm.I hope he doesn't intend to sell me here. I glanced at the door, to check if I had a good chance of rushing to the door before any of them could catch up to me. “Let's go.” He took my hand in his and strode out of the store. I just followed him like a zombie. My bones ached, and I wanted nothing more but to lie on my comfortable bed, and sleep for eternity. God. Why did I even agree to follow him out of the house today? I glared at the back of his head.“Will you like to visit my office?” Miguel sudde

Miguel's POVThroughout the day, I was plagued with the feelings I got when Jewel hugged me. I can't tell why my mind got stuck with it. It drove me crazy, to the point that I couldn't even think well. All I had to do was sit idle, and my mind will conjure the scenes.“Sir, are you okay?” My secretary asked. Her voice startled me from the thoughts that had taken over my mind. I blinked, “I'm good.” I narrowed a glare at her. “Why did you ask?”“Well.....” She trailed off. I can see from the way her Adam's apple bobbled up and down, that she was afraid. “Get the work I asked for, done, okay?” I closed the file in front of me and stood from the chair I was sitting on.“Sir, are you leaving? It's not—”“Cancel all my plans for the day. I'm leaving early.” I shut my laptop and took my bag from the table. She blinked at me, probably surprised by my words. Aside from the times I took Jewel out, I've not left the office during office hours. I always work like a workaholic whose mind has

Jewel's POVDay sat opposite me on the cushion as we watched the women twirling on the dance floor. He was dressed in an emerald blue suit, which complemented his hair so well. The mask he had on was almost like mine. However, instead of the glitter on the butterfly, it had red tints as if there were blood splattered on it. “It has been ages since we met, don't you think?” Day asked as he took a sip of the beer he ordered. “Do you think so?” I took a sip of my water without looking at him. After the kiss on the roof, I vowed not to return here. However, Miguel's recent behaviour brought me here. Had he not started avoiding me the night ago, I wouldn't have attended the ball. Day was the cure. He always knows how to make me feel better. And that was what brought me here. “What's wrong? You look dull.” Day took another sip of his beer.“It's nothing. I was just lost in thoughts,” I shook my head. “It doesn't look like nothing, Butterfly.” He made me look up at him, “Tell me, is i

Miguel's POVSince Friday night, I've not gone home, and today is Sunday. I was supposed to be at home with my family, but here I was, working my arse off with my grumpy assistant who hasn't ceased complaining about how heartless I was. My phone rang as I sorted through my files.“Hello?” I picked it up without checking the caller ID.“When are you returning home? You've not been home since Friday.” Jewel said from the other end of the call.I blinked.Jewel was the last person I expected to get a call from. I guess she has started using the phone I got for her. “I've been busy with some last-minute work. I will return when I have everything finalized.” I pinched the bridge of my nose.“Do you need help? I don't have anything to do here, I can come and help you if it works for you, “Jewel offered.She sounded a little desperate. “No. I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me.” I sighed, “the work isn't cumbersome. I can take care of it quite fine.”“Okay?”She sounded as if she wan

Miguel's POVThroughout the day, my mind was solely on the thoughts of how to start a conversation with my wife when I reach home. It was a difficult thing for me because I'd never tried to start a conversation with her. I got down from my car and stared hard at my house. I had half the mind to turn back and return to my office, but I stood firm. I'm going to take my Secretary's advice. I will talk things out with my wife. It was the only way. I can't keep ignoring her all my life when it has gotten difficult to do that. Jewel and Star were whispering like they normally do when I walked into the house. Most times, I don't get what they discuss that always gets them invested. Immediately they saw me, they hastily rose from the couch they were sitting on. The expression of guilt on their faces made me suspicious.They looked like kids who were found with their hands in a cookie jar. “What's wrong? Why are your faces like this?” I scowled at them. “Oh, we were just discussing the n

Jewel's POV“Miguel?” I ran after him. “What's wrong?” He turned to look at me. “Do you need anything?” “No, I….” I glanced down.Truth be told, I don't even know why I called him. I just did that, without thinking. “What's wrong?” He took a step towards me. “Are you alright?”“Yes, I'm good.” I nodded, “it's just—”He ruffled my hair. “It's okay.” He gently tucked my hair behind my left ear. “It's only a dinner party.” “Okay.” I nodded with my head bowed, to hide the red tints on my cheeks. “Let's go, it's time for dinner.”*******All through the night, my mind kept on repeating the scene on the balcony. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed like I conjured Miguel right out of my thoughts. My husband was never this caring. He always avoids contact with me. The only exception was the night he got drunk and the day we went shopping. He hasn't had sex with me for weeks, and that has been troubling me for a long time. Could it be that he has gotten tired of me? But that

Star left earlier for her classes, while I was left with my husband, whose mood swings have become more confusing than that of a woman. I don't know what he's thinking. And neither am I aware of what he's trying to achieve by getting closer to me. I'm afraid that should he continue that way, I will end up falling for him.There are no two ways about that, as my heart is already beating at the thoughts of his touch. I'm smitten by my husband's smile. I walked towards the swimming pool as I tried not to show how nervous I was.It was an hour to noon, and Sly decided it was time already. I wore the only two pieces I got when I was still in school but never had the chance to put them on. Before this, I only sat next to the pool, with my legs dipped in the water as I read my books. I've never swum in it, and I never would have, had Miguel not asked me to swim with him.Swimming brought back memories of my days in high school. That was why I never attempted it after I got married. I checke

Miguel's POVI gaped at her exposed neck, as I continued to dry her hair. It wasn't easy for me to do that, with the way she kept on nodding and shivering. Though she was leaning on the lounge chair, she couldn't keep her head in place.“Can't you keep your head in a place? Must you nod?” I furrowed my brows at her. Though her hair was a bit dry, I had to be certain it was dry, to prevent her from catching a cold. She shivered but didn't answer my questions. “Are you cold? Do you wish to rest in the house?” I leaned down to whisper.She didn't reply to my words, and that got me curious. “Jewel? Did you hear my question?” I dropped the towel and moved in front of her. “What's wrong? Did you—”Oh, she's asleep. I lightly touched her shoulders, but she didn't stir. She kept on sleeping like a baby. “Seems that I will take you up to your room.”I gently carried her up from the chair.She sighed in her sleep but didn't wake. I carried her towards the house as I made certain not to bum

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
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
