Alexander's POV

I rested in the backseat and took deep breaths. It had to be done because it was necessary. I couldn't go further anymore.

And what if the family gets angry?

They were bound to be. I tried a lot. From childhood, teenage life, I buried my passion for them. I did what I could but not losing Rosalie.

A decision I made. First, I had to break it to Sophia.

I grabbed my phone and I sighted the ring. Her family got it so I might just need to give it back. "Alex, oh my god, you're calling," her squeal filled my ears and the lines of my lips etched into a frown.

"Let's meet at Delightfoods" I muttered and again, her squeal erupted.

"You're asking me on a date? Oh my god, I'm so excited. When Alex?"

"In ten minutes times" I breathed out and ended the call. Running my hands through my hair, I scowled.

I wasn't supposed to go on with the engagement. Now that the media knew about it, it was certain Sophia wouldn't back down without a fight.

I sighed. Our relationship might just be

    "Come in," Alexander called out and Rosalie pushed the door open. When his eyes rested on her, the insides of him grew warm."Good morning, sir" Rosalie muttered as she tried to push her jelly legs towards him. What happened between them in the past two days was the only thing that replayed in her head.She was just resting her eyes on him for the past two days. They only spoke on the phone."Come," Rosalie nodded and bit the insides of her cheeks as she forced her shy self to walk to him.As soon as she was close enough, Alexander grabbed her hand and trailed his hands on her supple skin. He missed the feeling of her skin.He was away from her for two days. He missed her."You're pretty," he whispered and gently kissed her arm. Rosalie shuddered and shut her eyes as his lips moved on her skin.When she didn't feel anything, she opened her eyes and they locked eyes. Alexander pulled her to his thighs and a gasp escaped her lips."Sir—" she breathed out wide-eyed."What?" Alexander ch

  • Bound to my billionaire boss    Chapter 47— Nothing was fine

    "For her?" Sophia scoffed. She found it unbelievable. He was with his secretary? He left her in that restaurant screaming. She waited for him to reconsider his decision.And when he didn't, she came to him. Only to meet this goddamn secretary in his arms. He kissed her. He allowed her to hug him."Get into the car, Rosie," Alexander ordered to Rosalie who sucked in her cheeks. "No," Sophia protested before Rosalie could move. "She wouldn't go in. She's part of this discussion," Sophia smothered and grabbed Rosalie's arm."From the first day I loathed you. When you walked in that day. It was a mistake. I wasn't supposed to allow you to stay another minute with Alexander.""I was right all along. All along!" Sophia snarled and tightened her hold on Rosalie. "But you haven't won. You never will.""Stop it," Alexander intervened and pulled Rosalie from her grip, "why are you acting like a mad obsessed girl Sophia? I was never in love with you. You forced yourself on me Sophia. Every sing

  • Bound to my billionaire boss    Chapter 48— In danger

    "And you think it wasn't important to tell me?" Alexander scoffed over the phone and Rosalie sighed.She skipped work for two days. When she visited Pamela, she didn't have the energy to go to work the next day because of the conversation between them both "I'm sorry, sir" she apologized.She heard him exhale over the phone, "where are you at the moment?""At…mum's place" she breathed out and at once, the call disconnected. Rosalie scoffed and leaned back into the chair she was in.Couldn't he say he was ending the call? Was he arrogant or that was just his way of life? She curled on the sofa enjoying her show.Her mum wasn't home. She had gone to her place of work. Boredom held her hostage and she used the TV. She would have called Aria over if Aria wasn't in her place of work.The doorbell rang, jolting her out of her thoughts and her brows creased. It wasn't time for her mum to come back. Who could it be?Alexander clicked in her mind and her confusion grew deeper. Could it be him

  • Bound to my billionaire boss    Chapter 49— Anger and fear

    Aria trotted towards the office as fast as her legs could carry her. She needed to see that asshole. He had to know what he did to her.Because of him, Rosalie was battling for her life. It angered her and at the moment, she only wanted to punch him for hurting her friend.She was sure he did something. Rosalie couldn't have gone to the bar just to drink. She sniffed repeatedly until she reached the door.The receptionist had informed him over the phone and he gave his permission. Aria knew with or without permission, she was going to see him.She pushed the door open and Alexander raised his head when he saw her."You idiot," Aria trudged to Alexander trying to control her rage, "you're here seated working. You didn't even ask for Rosalie. Why's she not in the office today?""She has skipped work for two days so I bet she skipped today too," Alexander shrugged and Aria scoffed.She pushed back every urge in her to walk to him and give him a slap. Those rich dudes were rude. How'd Ros

  • Bound to my billionaire boss    Chapter 50— Awake and angry

    Rosalie's eyes fluttered open. She shut them back as she stirred on the bed. Agonizing pain and hammering in her head clawed her chest at once.She groaned as she stirred and gently, her eyes flickered open. This time, she squinted them until her eyes took in the hospital's white intricate ceilings.The antiseptic smell of the hospital welcomed her, causing an irritating clog in her throat. She groaned once more and at once, a distant voice echoed in her ear."Rosalie," it was Pamela, "Rosalie," Pamela called expectantly as Rosalie moaned in pain.Her eyes adjusted to the rays but not to the pain. She sniffed and Pamela grabbed the hand she stretched out. "Rosalie," "Mum?" Rosalie bit on her lip to take in the pain and at the same time stared at her mother seated in front of her, "mum, where am I?" She moaned when she stirred."Stay calm, your leg is bandaged," Pamela whispered amidst her happiness. She couldn't believe Rosalie was awake.After being in a temporary coma for five days

    "Sophia?" The words flew out of Rosalie's trembling lips. "Sophia was the one that hit me?" She asked as she tried to get a memory of it but it was impossible.Of course, she was drunk."Yes," Alexander answeredRosalie was completely taken aback. She stared numb into the space. She tried to kill her? Because… of Alexander? Sophia threatened her countless times but…She never thought it was to the extent of killing her. In a lifetime, Rosalie wouldn't have thought Sophia would hit her with a car.All because of her boss standing in front of her. The pretender and that cold man.Her tears fell helplessly as she blamed herself; her choices were all wrong. How didn't she think the rich would do anything to have what they want?It was stupid to think she would fight against someone that knew the man she was fighting for even before she knew him. Was it wrong to fight when she wasn't even in their category?Tears clouded her vision adding to the pounding in her head. She was tired; weaken

  • Bound to my billionaire boss    Chapter 52— Heading to the cell

    Rosalie's POVIt was silly but it was funny seeing him jealous. I woke up when a hand grabbed mine. Then seeing Williams, I didn't have the energy to talk to him so I feigned sleepiness.Before Alexander arrived. A smirk grew to my lips and he scoffed."You were awake?" Aria questioned and I turned to her. Her face was contorted in a scowl before she hissed and plowed to the door.I sighed. She was angry and I knew why. But I was going to fix it when I am okay."I'm outside," mum, who I didn't know was inside, mumbled and walked out leaving me with this CEO once more. I nodded and glanced around. I was starting to get used to the antiseptic smell and the white surroundings I stare at all day."Are you okay, now?" He questioned and I raised my head to him at once. His voice was hoarse and sounded desperate. When my eyes landed on his face, my brows raised.His face was pale and his hair looked unkempt. There were dark circles around his eyes, "what's wrong?" I voiced out before I could

    After hours of silence, we finally reached the building. I gazed at Alexander but his eyes were ahead as if he was trying to ignore me.I sniffed and sighed. Probably I shouldn't have come to the station. Mum clearly didn't want it. I could read the worry etched on her face. It mystified her that we knew who tried to kill me.Her eyes held questions I wasn't able to answer in the.With a sigh, I sat up. The driver got out and at once hurried to open the door for us. Mum got out first and Alexander finally spared me a glance.He held my arm while I shrugged his hands off. He scoffed and grabbed my arm this time tighter and helped me step down."Let's go," his arm locked firmly around my waist despite how hard I tried to wriggle out. "You're not strong, don't forget that Rosalie," he deadpanned and I stayed still.We covered a few distance and I let my eyes dart around despite the pain I was in. The compound had several buildings and chatters from different directions filled my ears.It

    There she was. The love of his life. Her happiness written all over her face all she watered the flowers. It was only a few days after the engagement that Alexander found out she loved gardening and he loved watching her admire the flowers."They smell so nice," Rosalie turned to him with a big smile and Alexander chuckled, his eyes running down her tummy.That had a life in her.The tummy having another life in her. His happiness knew no bounds when the doctor declared it to them.It was one month after the engagement that they broke the news to them and he had never been that excited."Come on, stop staring at me," Rosalie rolled her eyes, her cheeks turning crimson red and Alexander laughed as he walked towards her."I can't wait to see the baby. I really want to," He muttered as he thought of it. He'd get to be a father. Be a good father that he never had. Nothing would be more fulfilling.But would he be able to treat the baby right?"It'll like me, wouldn't it?""Oh, I don't lik

    "Why are you doing this to me, Aria?" I drawled as I stared at my best friend who had her face fully into her phone, "Aria?""What?" She jerked her face up suddenly and I spotted the crimson blush on her face and my brows knitted up, "what the hell is going on, huh?""What?" She rolled her eyes and quickly switched off her phone screen which heightened my suspicion. It's been three weeks since we went to visit Sophia.Her mum gave me a mouthful which made Xander visibly angry and when the woman didn't stop talking, Xander had to show her my wounds that her daughter inflicted on me.Collins was on the run because apart from the fact that Xander wanted to tear him into pieces, the authorities were looking for him.And then, my wound had almost healed up and things were starting to look good and we were out in the restaurant. Aria and I and we have been talking for a whole ass hour but she wouldn't even hear me."What'd you say?" She flashed me a fake smile, "I was just busy looking at s

    Fucked four time in a day. My stitches hurting yet I still went on. Sleeping in the arms of the man I love. I rolled on the bed and back into his warm arms that were waiting for me."Good morning, my gorgeous rose," Xander whispered and I could swear butterflies danced in my tummy. My cheeks heated up so much I was sure it'd boil an egg and Xander released a small laugh behind me."It always amuse me.""What?" I asked and at once he rolled over until he was lying over me and I released a wince."Oh my," Xander moved backwards at once, "Sorry about that."“What amuses you?" I confronted with a pout and he laughed as he settled beside me, his hands raking my hair."Your shyness yet boldness." He locked eyes with me, a smile forming on his lips. "I always look forward to seeing you bold yet shy."All of his words added to the heated feeling inside of me. Warmth. Love. I smiled and leaned into him, "I'm after all full of surprises."He chuckled as he nodded, "True. Now let's get you to ea

    Rosalie's POV"I can manage to walk and you know that," I rolled my eyes when Xander snorted after I spoke. I was in his arms. He was taking me inside the house even after I tried to work on my own."Do you know what you've gone through?" Xander rolled his eyes, "I'm surprised you're perfectly fine and it makes me happy. I wouldn't have been able to deal with it if I had lost you."My cheeks heated up and I leaned into him, "now that's enough, please put me down."Xander chuckled, his eyes darting around since we were in the living room and gently, he placed me on the two seater couch and at once settled beside me, pulling my head onto his chest, "I owe you a proper apology.""I am sorry." He breathed out and exhaled while I stared up at him. I could count the number of times he had apologized to me before and how hard it's been. But that moment was different, he was saying everything thoughtfully."For wanting to let us go. Believe me I felt horrible. Thought you'll hate me. I didn't

  • Bound to my billionaire boss    Chapter 75— She was his again

    Alexander's POV"Rosie…" I called as I took a step while she glared at me with eyes full of pain."Really? You want to live in my memories and not stay with me huh?" She shook her head before moving towards me and at once her fist made contact with my chest."Really huh? Really? It's better to leave me huh? That's it? You don't care if I live in pain huh?" She continued, her fist driving into my chest repeatedly as her tears ran down before while I remained glued to my spot.I didn't deserve her. Not once have I ever deserved her."Rosie, stop it," her mum rushed towards her and grabbed her arm and I finally got out of my thoughts when the punching stopped."It's okay," I let out and sighed, "let her hit me. I deserve it.""Thank god you know!" Rosie screamed before sending a final punch to my chest and then her tears dropped. "You're such an idiot, Xander.""You know everything except how to console a woman," she sniffed and leaned into me, "how can you want to leave huh?" Her voice t

    "He won't even pick up? Wow, wow," I chuckled and fought back my tears as I tried Xander's number once more.He wants to leave the city and me… wow. I shook my head as I reminisced on his words. We're in the hospital since I was brought there right after my attack."He wants to leave," I sobbed once more."I told you!" Aria screamed and hit the wall, "he wasn't worth it! You lost your father and all he could think of is to leave! Goddamn it! I hate him more!""Xander," I sniffed as I dialed the number again, "he's not picking up.""He won't," mum cut in and sniffed, "I… made him go away.""What do you mean?""I gave an outburst right after Raymond died. He's the cause of everything and I just wanted him away. I… I made him promise to leave you alone after all the chaos he caused.""What?" I gripped my chest as I fought back my tears, "how's he at fault?""Sophia came after you because of him! You were hit because of him! You were almost killed. Got shot! It was because of him that you

    White ceiling coatings that my eyes were almost used to. The blank point where I try to recognise the ceiling was gone now because I understood it.With the pain hammering in my chest and the sniffles plus the deep scent that hit my nostrils, I needed no soothsayer to tell me I was in the hospital.My hands shook at that moment and then the memories came rushing like a wind into my head."Rosie,"The familiar feminine voice called and I whipped my head to the voice at once, "mum.""Rosie," mum called panickedly before her hands tightened around me and I let out a whimper, "I'm sorry," mum sniffed, "are you okay, are you okay?""Are you okay?" A tear dropped down her eyelids as she watched me, "should I call the doctor huh?""I… I," I gulped as I glanced around, "water. I need… water.""Here," I heard the friendly feminine voice and at once the glass cup met my lips and I gulped down water while I stared at Aria. She had a warm smile on her face while she watched me."I'm so glad you'r

    "Take one step and I pull the trigger here," Sophia warned, her voice laced with anger. "You think I brought you here to see him? No. I just want him to see you drop dead. I want to show him what he gets for choosing someone else over me.""Sophia, you are crossing the line," Xander gritted, his fist clenching and his eyes pinned on me in fear, concern and the one that warmed my heart, in love."Rosie, stay still. You are not dying," he assured me and I heard his voice tremble at the end. Something my Xander doesn't do.Fear. He was in fear too."How could you?" Sophia started, her voice distant and barely audible, "choose this thing over me,""She's just s fucking poor girl. I am way better!""I don't love you!" Xander yelled and took a step and at once, Sophia raised the gun and fired into the air, "take one step and the next bullet goes into her head," she glanced at her wristwatch and exhaled."Remember I am always vulnerable with you Xander.

    Headache. Blurry vision. It was what welcomed me as my eyes fluttered open and at once I gasped.Where was I huh? I… I was with Raphael and suddenly… My throat went dry with the realization. I've been kidnapped. At once, I let out a scream and almost immediately, a hand drove onto my face, hard."Don't you scream bitch!"The familiar voice. Sophia. I panted as my eyes darted around and I realized we were in a car and were still in the airport. The glasses of the car were tinted and… they couldn't see meTurning to Sophia, hee face held a lazy look and she had her eyes shut while I accessed her. How'd she come to the airport? How'd she know I was leaving? Does she know Xander is here?And where was Collins? Did he assist her?Heavens. There was no answer. My eyes moved around the car as urgency seeped in my bones. Raphael told me we had only minutes left and it was a private jet. We should have left.We should have if not for this maniac woman."Why did you kidnap me? Why the hell am I
