Bound to the Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 60 - How To Reward A Good Man
Emily's POVAdrian’s dark chuckle resonated through the room as he leaned back in the chair, his hands resting on the armrests, but his gray eyes were locked on me, sharp and hungry. “I never knew you were this wild,” he murmured, his voice thick with desire.I smiled, my fingers deftly undoing the first button of my blouse. “You’ve got all the time in the world to learn, love,” I replied, my voice low and teasing.Each button slipped free with deliberate slowness, the fabric parting to reveal the soft lace of my bra. Adrian’s jaw tightened, and I could see his fingers gripping the armrests a little harder.“You’re going to kill me,” he muttered, his gaze following the movement of my hands as I worked my way down the blouse.“No,” I said with a smirk. “I’m going to reward you.”I let the blouse slide off my shoulders, leaving it to pool on the floor behind me. I took one slow, deliberate step forward, my heels clicking against the polished floor.Adrian shifted in his seat, one hand m

Emily's POVAdrian’s gray eyes darkened as his jaw clenched, watching intently as my fingers slid one by one down the buttons of my blouse. Each pop of fabric seemed to echo in the room, growing louder with the tension between us. I took my time, teasing him, letting the material fall open enough to reveal the lace of my bra.His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, his hand already moving to the buckle of his belt.“You’re not even going to wait for me to finish?” I teased, slipping the blouse from my shoulders and letting it pool on the floor.He leaned back in my chair, the very picture of male restraint, though the growing bulge straining against his trousers betrayed his true thoughts. “You’re taking too long,” he growled, his voice rough with need. “And I’m not sure I can hold myself back much longer.”“Who said anything about holding back?” I countered, stepping closer.With every step, I shed another piece of clothing—my skirt sliding down my hips, my heels clicking agains

Emily’s POVThe warm glow of the restaurant lights reflected off the wine glasses, casting a cozy ambiance over our table. Adrian had insisted on a double date with Claire and Vincent tonight, and while I loved seeing Claire happy, there was something about the way she avoided meeting my eyes that set me on edge."Are you okay?" I mouthed to her as Adrian and Vincent exchanged friendly banter about work. Claire smiled, but it was thin and brittle, as if the smallest nudge could shatter it."I'm fine," she whispered back. Her tone didn’t convince me.The waiter came by, serving our entrees. Claire poked at her food, and I knew she was far from fine. Then, as if summoning her courage, she looked at Vincent.“I need to say something,” she began, her voice shaky. Adrian fell silent, sensing the change in the air. I put my fork down and reached for Claire’s hand beneath the table.“Go ahead,” Vincent said gently, his dark eyes steady on her.Claire drew a deep breath, her free hand cradlin

Adrian’s POVSitting across from Emily, I couldn’t help but marvel at how utterly radiant she looked. Her laughter danced through the air, melodic and carefree, as she nudged Claire with a joke. Watching her with her best friend, I saw another side of her—one unburdened, glowing with a lightness I hadn’t realized I’d been desperate to protect.This was why I brought her here. Not for the food, not for the setting, but for this. For her to be surrounded by the people she loved, the people who loved her back.Vincent leaned closer to Claire, whispering something that made her roll her eyes, though the faint blush on her cheeks betrayed her amusement. For a man as bold as Vincent, his quiet tenderness toward Claire was striking. He wasn’t trying to steal the spotlight tonight, which was uncharacteristic for him.“Earth to Adrian,” Emily teased, snapping me out of my thoughts. Her eyes sparkled with mischief. “Are you going to tell us what’s on your mind, or should I order you another dri

Adrian’s POVSitting across from Vincent, I stared into the street bustling with people as I thought about the video recording from the press conference those scheming women had organized.The thought of how it would hurt Emily upset me and made me want to ruin every journalist that was in that press conference however it would only backfire and I was grateful to have a friend like Vincent deal with this with me. My thoughts churned like a storm, threatening to drown me. I finally broke the silence, my voice low and gruff."I went to see the Grahams yesterday," I said, watching as Vincent's brows furrowed. "I told them I couldn’t go through with Bianca’s demands. That any agreement we had with their family died with Samantha."Vincent leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. "And? How did they take it?"A bitter laugh escaped me. "They dismissed me like I was some rebellious teenager refusing to follow orders. Told me Samantha’s death is in the past, that Bianca wants this, a

Emily’s POVSeeing Adrian like this—vulnerable, raw, and on the verge of breaking—filled me with a sadness I couldn’t put into words. My strong, invincible man, the one who always protected me, now needed someone to protect him. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed his temple gently.“You’re strong,” I whispered, stroking his cheek. “But I promise to be stronger for you.”His eyes glistened with unshed tears. It made my chest tighten. I had never seen him this way before, so human and exposed. I wiped a tear that slid down his cheek with my thumb, then tilted my head to tease him.“You know,” I said with a small smile, “I think your tears are more expensive than mermaid tears. You shouldn’t waste them.”Adrian chuckled low, but before I could say anything else, he cupped my face, his lips capturing mine in a deep, soul-searing kiss. He pressed me against the wall, his body heavy and warm against mine, and the kiss turned desperate, almost punishing. I could feel his emotions bleedi

Adrian’s POVThe cemetery was quiet, the air heavy with the faint scent of rain-soaked earth. Standing before the cold, gray headstone etched with my parents' names, I felt the weight of fifteen years lift off my shoulders. Emily stood just behind me, her hand warm and steady on my shoulder as I knelt to clear away the leaves that had gathered at the base of their grave.“I kept my promise,” I murmured, my voice barely audible in the stillness. “I found the truth. And I made sure they can’t hurt anyone else the way they hurt us.”Emily crouched beside me, her touch grounding me as she placed a bouquet of white lilies on the grave. “They’d be so proud of you, Adrian,” she said softly, her voice brimming with sincerity. “You’ve been through so much, but you turned it all into strength. That’s… that’s incredible.”Her words hit me harder than I expected, and for the first time in years, I felt a lump rise in my throat. I glanced at her, her beautiful face illuminated by the dim sunlight

Emily’s POV“You may now kiss the bride.”The pastor’s voice echoed through the garden venue, and as Adrian cupped my face with gentle, possessive hands, the world around us melted away. Everything—every face, every sound, every moment—blurred into insignificance, leaving just him and me in a universe of our own. His lips captured mine in a kiss so tender yet electrifying that it didn’t feel like the start of something new, but rather the continuation of something eternal. It was a promise, a silent declaration that the past no longer held me hostage.The applause that erupted around us was distant, muffled. Tears brimmed in my eyes, spilling over as our lips parted. But for the first time, these weren’t tears of heartbreak or regret. They were tears of unfiltered, unrestrained joy.This wasn’t just a wedding. It was a rebirth.The scars from my first marriage no longer stung as they once had. They were still there, faint and faded, but they no longer had power over me. This was my se

Larry's POVThe bass of the club’s music vibrated through my chest, but I barely felt it. Claire was beside me, as always, her eyes sparkling with the excitement of the night. I had told her it was just a simple date—a night out to unwind and enjoy ourselves. But in reality, I had already mapped out everything in my head. This was the night I’d get what I wanted, no matter the cost.I’d never been faithful to Claire. But she never knew. She trusted me, and I let her, even though I was a man who craved more than what she offered. It was easy—she never suspected a thing. Tonight was no different. I had plans. I needed to take what I wanted, and Claire, oblivious to it all, was just a convenient distraction.The club was packed, the lights flickering in rhythm with the music. I caught sight of a woman across the room. She was perfect—tall, blonde, and alluring, with a body that promised everything I wanted. I had to have her.I wasn’t about to let Claire stand in the way. I slipped a pil
Bound to the Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 14 - Larry's POV
Larry's POVI lay there on the sterile white bed, my arm throbbing from the stitches the doctor had just finished applying. The pain was nothing compared to the growing tension in the room. Marissa was beside me, her fiery gaze still locked on the door where the doctor had just exited. I could feel the heat of her anger radiating off her like a furnace. She was muttering curses under her breath, fuming about the person who had dared to lay a hand on her husband.I let out a deep breath, trying to remain calm. I knew I had to. I couldn’t afford to make her angrier, not now. She was already so close to snapping. Her temper was something I’d learned to fear. And right now, I had to navigate this minefield carefully—because I was the one who had planted the bomb.As soon as the door clicked shut behind the doctor, Marissa turned to me, her eyes blazing. "What happened, Larry?" she demanded, her voice sharp. "Tell me everything. I want the truth."I swallowed hard. My throat felt dry. I kn

Mirabel’s POVVincent’s mother entered the living room, a tray of fresh fruit in her hands. She smiled warmly at me, setting it down on the table in front of me. "You should relax, Mirabel," she said kindly, her tone motherly as she patted my shoulder. "Let me pamper you.""Thank you, Mother," I said, reverting back to the role I’d carefully crafted. I’d always called her "godmother," but now, with her affection and the way she had welcomed me back into the family, it seemed fitting to step up the intimacy. The word felt sweeter now, more genuine in my mind, but I kept my face neutral, feigning innocence.Her eyes softened. "You don't need to call me 'godmother' anymore. You can call me 'mother' from now on."I smiled, nodding as if her words were a blessing, though inwardly, I knew I had to play this part carefully. She was so eager to please, to believe the best in me. And that was exactly what I needed. I let my fingers graze the edge of the fruit bowl, eyes still on her, wondering
Bound to the Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 12: Mirabel’s POV
The streets of Italy had been both a haven and a hell for me. After leaving the movie set in disgrace, I thought I could land on my feet. Surely, someone in this glamorous city would recognize my beauty and charm.But I had no plan—just desperation. For a month, I drifted from one extravagant party to another, mingling with powerful men. A few were intrigued by my looks and rising star status, but none saw me as more than a fleeting distraction.“You’re stunning, but let’s not pretend this is more than it is,” one man had told me, dismissing me like I was some common club girl.I hated the way they looked at me—like I was cheap. And as my pregnancy became harder to hide, their interest waned. I tried convincing myself that I could manage alone, but the truth was, I was sinking fast.By the end of the month, my options were gone, and my savings were dwindling. That’s when it hit me—I didn’t need some random Italian billionaire. I already had someone who would do whatever it took to pro
Bound to the Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 11 - Mirabel's POV
Mirabel’s POVThe baby isn’t his.I’ve told myself that so many times, it feels like a mantra. And why wouldn’t I believe it? I have his mother wrapped around my finger, and Vincent... well, he’ll never know. Men like him don’t ask questions when the answers might inconvenience them.Still, as I stand in front of the ornate mirror in my suite, brushing a hand over my barely-there bump, memories of six months ago creep in, unbidden and relentless.Six Months AgoThe club was alive with electric energy, music thundering in time with my pulse. Neon lights danced across the packed room, blurring faces and distorting intentions. I sat in the VIP lounge, surrounded by sycophants who laughed too loudly and drank too much.“She’s getting too big for her boots, don’t you think?” Sandra, the loudest and most shameless of them all, leaned in, her voice dripping with malice.I didn’t have to ask who “she” was. My assistant—the irritating little upstart who’d somehow managed to secure a role in th
Bound to the Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 10 - Claire's POV
Claire's POVThe road stretched endlessly before me, the headlights of passing cars flashing in fleeting bursts. The rhythmic hum of tires on asphalt, usually a soothing backdrop, grated on my fraying nerves. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, the leather biting into my palms as I fought the nausea building in my stomach. My knuckles, pale and strained, were a testament to my stubbornness—I had been holding it in for too long.But I couldn’t anymore.I swerved onto the shoulder and threw the car into park. The engine’s low rumble seemed to mock me as I stumbled out, barely making it to the side of the road before doubling over. My body convulsed violently, the nausea clawing its way out of me in harsh, unrelenting waves. I clung to my knees, trembling as I retched until there was nothing left.When it finally subsided, I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and reached into my bag for the bottle of water I always kept. My hands shook as I unscrewed the cap, splashing some
Bound to the Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 9 - Claire's POV
Claire's POVThe sound of fists colliding filled the air, each blow reverberating like a thunderclap in the stillness of the parking lot. Nothing I did seemed to stop them.“Stop it!” I yelled again, my voice breaking under the weight of my desperation. “Please, just stop!”Neither man listened. Larry was losing ground fast, his movements sluggish and clumsy, while Vincent’s strikes landed with brutal precision. Larry stumbled, blood dripping from his split lip onto the asphalt.I turned to the security guard stationed near the entrance, my voice frantic. “Do something! Call the police!”The old man hesitated, his gaze darting between the fight and me. “Miss,” he said, his voice low, “I can’t. If I step in and get on the wrong side of the director, I’ll lose my job. And besides…” He trailed off, his lips pressing into a thin line.“Besides what?” I snapped, my patience wearing thin.His eyes flickered back to the brawl. “That one,” he gestured to Larry, “he’s had this coming for a lon
Bound to the Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 8 – Claire’s POV
Claire’s POVLarry’s eyes bored into mine, a strange mix of anger and entitlement simmering just beneath the surface. His silence was suffocating, pressing on me as if daring me to break first.I swallowed hard, the disgust clawing its way up my throat. My fingers trembled as I pushed at his chest, but he didn’t budge. The parking lot seemed to shrink around me, the walls of cars becoming a cage, and suddenly, the air felt too thick to breathe.“Larry,” I said, my voice shaky but firm. “Move.”He didn’t respond. His jaw ticked, his arms tightening slightly.“Larry!” I tried again, more forcefully this time. But his body was immovable, his presence oppressive.Then my phone rang.Relief washed over me, the sound a lifeline pulling me out of the swirling tension. I reached for it, fumbling in the pocket of my hoodie, but before I could grab it, Larry’s hand shot out, snatching the phone and tossing it across the parking lot. The clatter echoed, my heart sinking with it.“What are you do

Every passing second felt like an eternity, the tension in the air as thick as the lies swirling around me.Claire’s voicemail greeted me for the third time in a row, her voice calm and sweet, making my chest ache. Claire wasn’t the type to ignore calls, and that alone was enough to set off every alarm in my head.What if something was wrong?I turned on my data, hoping for a miracle—a text, a missed message—something to give me a clue.
