Bound to my billionaire boss Chapter 8— Hunted memory
The thoughts clung tightly to her insides as she worked. Her trembling hands didn't get a grip of the pen. She ran her hands through her hair and took a deep breath.30,000.Where was she going to get it? Rosalie let out a frustrated sigh at the thoughts. The last time her mum took out a loan and couldn't pay, she suffered the consequences. She remembered her fear that night.It was a miracle she was rescued, else she didn't know what could have happened.But now, there was no hope.Despite how hard she tried, she could see the situation repeating itself. No, she couldn't afford to go through that again.No human deserved to. She tugged on her hair as she thought of a solution but her foggy mind didn't let her.Her insides were clouded with the cold demeanor of Alexander and the thugs issue. She knew her boss was still mad at her and hadn't let go of that day's clumsiness.Despite her trying to reassure herself, the dreaded thoughts hunted her. She could see herself getting fired.Sh

Rosalie sniffed and gripped her handbag tighter. She just got out of the elevator and despite how hard she tried to console herself, it didn't work.She made him lose that deal.He was angry!He left her there and she took a taxi to the company. Her steps wavered and she sniffled as she sighted the office. Why was she unlucky?She keeps getting into trouble every now and then. And now, she jeopardized her job.But it wasn't her fault. Her anxiety was at work.She didn't believe she could experience it again. That was the main reason they came to New York. Her paranoia ate her up wherever she went.Suddenly, she paused in her steps at the sound. As she strained her ear to hear clearer, a high pitched yell filled her ears.She could figure out that yell anywhere.A tell tale feeling surged through her but she shook her head. She wouldn't believe it. She had to see.She trotted to the office and pushed the door open. The moment her orbs rested on the figures, all courage, hope she felt

Rosalie?She didn't go home? She came to the bar?His eyes widened when she almost fell. She held on to a stool as her eyes threatened to close. Her face was tear-stricken and her eyes looked puffy.He knew she had been crying and she was drunk.A prickly feeling of regret washed through his veins and he found himself heading to her."Rosalie —" he called and she raised her head to him. She batted her lashes and retrieved a step backwards which caused her to stumble but Alexander was quick to reach out for her."Miss Jones —" he held her firmly to himself and once again, he was attracted to her cognac eyes."Sir…" Rosalie stuttered with her lips quivering. "Did…you hire me again?" She grabbed his face like she needed it to be true."Miss Jones, you're drunk" Alexander cautioned when she grabbed the bottle of alcohol in her hands. "Oh yeah, I shouldn't" Rosalie chuckled and held on tightly to his shirt."Please don't fire me, please" she begged and clutched tighter to him "I need the j

Rosalie sniffed and clung to herself despite the hotness of her body. The sound of her heart beating slowly coupled her blurry vision.Her face was stained with tears that dropped as her mind ran wild about the situation on ground. It's been a week since she told the man she was going to pay him by the end of month.How that slipped off her mouth she didn't know.She guessed it was the only thing her brain thought of in that dangerous situation.She sniffled and sighed.She knew one thing; she couldn't get 30,000 in a week; except a miracle happened. And she was sure now—she wasn't meant for good things.Her phone beeped and she hurriedly reached out for it.She checked her mail and her eyes became clouded with tears when she saw one of her applications had been rejected.She had been trying to get a job to no avail. She sighed and palmed her face.The heat she felt was nothing compared to the pain in her life. She never imagined her life this way. 22 and not having money? She didn't

Rosalie took a sharp breath as she stared at the office door. Once again, she was in his office for a job. The receptionist had thrown her a surprised look but Rosalie cared less.She had to come see him and plead for a second chance.She sniffed and exhaled as she clutched tightly to the folder of files. Even if he had employed a new secretary, she'd ask for another job.Anything to pay her money.After one moment of her mustering courage, she raised her hand to knock and at the same time the door creaked open revealing Alexander.Alexander took a step backward as they locked eyes. He stood unblinking as he tried to process the image in front of him.It felt surreal but she was there. His heart thumped inside of him. It leaped for joy like a part of it was back."Sir—" Rosalie licked her lips and batted her lashes. That simple action made Alexander wish to hold her. He punched his hands to fight back every urge to hold her.He said to forget her and the persistent feeling. What was h

"Mr. Alex?" The Managing Director of the company pushed Alexander's office open causing both Rosalie and Alexander to turn to him."Yes Morris," Alexander's brows creased into a frown as the MD approached them. "Have you seen the news?" Morris questioned as he walked further to them."Good morning sir" Rosalie greeted when Morris kept his gaze on her. "Alexander, are you having an affair with your secretary now?"Rosalie stopped as she processed it. Secretary? Which secretary was that?"What do you mean Morris?" Alexander asked with a frown. He hoped it wasn't what he was thinking."Just check the news," the MD mumbled and Alexander scoffed. Of course it was what he thought.They were in the news; he was in the news with Rosalie, with her in his arms. Barely four days ago that she fainted, someone took a picture of her in his arms and it was stirring up reactions online."Morris, I think you should be more concerned about how that picture was taken because clearly, it wasn't in the da

Rosalie's POV"Yes" I answered mum as I laid on the bed. "That was the only condition and I accepted." "Oh God Rosie" she tugged on her hair and sighed. "I'm very scared. Did he say it's a business trip? Are you following him for business purpose?" Mum questioned again.Her face creased and her amber eyes laced with worry."I don't know" I answered honestly. No matter the amount of questions I asked Mr. Alexander, he only gave sketchy replies."You're following me to Italy" was his reply.Oh yeah, coupled with "you'll know when we get there"I didn't grasp why he needed me in Italy but I bet it's for business purposes. Why else will he need me?"I'm scared, if not because we need the money, I wouldn't allow you go Rosie, I feel so terrible."Hopelessness and emptiness filled my heart and I sighed despondently. A part of me trusted Mr. Alex. He had shown me kindness several times. I was sure he couldn't have a bad plan.What if the niceness was so you could fall into his trap?My subc

Alexander kept his gaze fixated on his secretary who fondled her hands as she approached him It took everything in him to resist the urge to chortle and tease her. She was about to knock, then wanted to leave.He saw everything. There was CCTV outside. He got it for protection but then it turned out useful."Ermm sir, I actually…I wanted to ask if—" Rosalie twirled her hair in her hands as she tried to search for a perfect excuse. It was embarrassing she wanted to see him then stopped."Come" Alexander ordered and she nodded. She averted her gaze everywhere except him as she trudged to the couch."Come here" Alexander pointed at the empty space beside him and her heart raced. It felt like it was jumping out of her ribcage.She swallowed hard trying to get control of her jelly legs and trudged to him. "Sir—" she sat but left a considerable distance between them which left Alexander amused.Every girl would jump at the opportunity to be close to him.But he loved it. He loved her shy n

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
Bound to my billionaire boss Chapter 76— Excitement and Passion
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
Bound to my billionaire boss Chapter 73— Pain
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. My father wasn't that great to know my
Bound to my billionaire boss Chapter 72— Not a reunion yet
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
