Phoebe's pace quickened unconsciously, her heart racing, and even the capillaries in her body seemed to contract.

"Sid, I think she's onto us."

"You two go that way. You and I will take this side. Remember, cover her mouth. Don't let her make a sound."

"Got it!"

Fear overtook Phoebe, and she broke into a light jog. The path to the bus stop was slightly off course, adding to her anxiety.

Suddenly, two figures appeared ahead of her, and Phoebe panicked. She really was in trouble! Alert, she turned to run back, but an arm reached out toward her from behind.

"Mmm—" Phoebe struggled, trying to shake off the hand covering her mouth. She was too weak to fight off a man, so she bit down hard on his arm.

"Ah!" The man screamed, loosening his grip in pain.

Given a moment to breathe, her survival instincts kicked in. Phoebe gathered all her strength and viciously kicked the other man between his legs.

"Ugh!" The second man groaned, clutching himself in agony.

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   Why Are You Crying?

    "I'm at the bus stop." Alexander's tone was always harsh, never speaking kindly to her. "Damn it, didn't you say you were at the International Mall?" Was she daring to mess with him?! "You came?" She was surprised he showed up, but he was too late... "I waited for you for forty minutes, and you never came." Her voice trembled with grievance, and tears began to fall uncontrollably. Did he even know she almost encountered danger earlier? If he wasn't coming to pick her up, he could have just said so. If it weren't for him, she would have left with Alva, and maybe none of this would have happened. "I got held up by something," he frowned, noticing her tone was off. It was the first time he'd explained himself to a woman. Normally, his temper would have led to a fierce scolding. "Wait there, I'll be there in five minutes." "You don't have to come, I'll take the bus home myself." "Phoebe, if you dare, you can try." Hanging up, Alexander sharply turned the steering wheel.

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   Have a Relationship With Me

    Phoebe was panting slightly, her strength completely drained by him, her body soft and limp.If it weren't for his support, she probably would have collapsed into a puddle by now.That strange, electric current coursed through her body from head to toe, making her toes curl involuntarily."No... stop," she murmured weakly, her eyes clouded with a seductive glaze. Her long, loose hair framed her delicate face, making her look even more alluring.Her lips were a deep, rose-red, like a blooming flower he couldn't resist wanting to kiss again.Alexander narrowed his eyes with a mischievous glint, clearly enjoying their game. The less she responded, the more excited he became, teasing her even further.He'd never failed with any woman before, and Phoebe wouldn't be the exception—especially not in this.Again and again, he kissed her lips, his movements tender yet possessive, giving her the softest, most passionate kisses...Phoebe's heart pounded wildly in her chest, her thoughts in a conf

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   A Rare Warmth

    Inside the sports car."Don't... don't do this..." Phoebe’s small hands weakly gripped the steering wheel. Although they had been intimate many times, she still felt shy at his touch. However, this time, her body didn't tense up as much as it did in the hospital.Still, fully accepting him wasn't easy for her.The shadow in her heart remained; she needed more time to heal.She couldn't yet handle his overwhelming...But she believed that if he continued to be as gentle as he had been, she would soon overcome her fears."Call me by my name," he whispered, trying to correct her.Could she really? Could she call him with the affection of a lover? She had never dared to dream of such closeness."Call me Alex...""Alex..." she murmured softly, her lips trembling as she spoke. Her voice was sweet, like cotton candy."Good girl," he praised, kissing her soft red lips as he unzipped his trousers.God knew how much he had been holding back. For a man to exercise such restraint for a woman—it w

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   Pregnant?

    A while later, Phoebe finished getting ready and went downstairs, only to find Melissa at the dining table.The moment their eyes met, Phoebe sensed hostility in Melissa's gaze, but it quickly disappeared as Melissa smiled sweetly at her."Good morning, Phoebe," Melissa greeted in a sugary-sweet tone, stepping forward.Phoebe froze for a moment, unsure of how to respond to the sudden friendliness. Had she misread things before? Or was it all in her head?"Morning, Melissa," she replied, offering a warm smile in return.However, standing there in front of Melissa, Phoebe couldn't help but feel like she'd stolen something precious from her, a guilty sensation creeping into her heart.Melissa affectionately grabbed Phoebe's hand and led her to the table."Alex was in a rush this morning and couldn't stay to have breakfast with me. Will you keep me company instead? What would you like to eat? I'll have the staff prepare something for you," Melissa offered, her smile radiant, though her de

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   I've Fallen In Love With Him

    Phoebe was mentally planning to visit the hospital soon. If she was really pregnant, what would she do...?Just then, Alva suddenly pointed to a man who had entered the classroom and shouted, "Phoebe, Professor Jones is finally here!"Following her gaze, Phoebe locked eyes with Curitis' piercing blue eyes.Dressed in a royal blue, custom-tailored suit, he exuded elegance and a commanding presence.It had been a while since she last saw him. Ever since she left the hospital, she hadn't gone to see him again. She didn't even know when he had been discharged or how well he had recovered.A wave of guilt washed over her, making her feel heartless. He must be angry. She hadn't intended to avoid visiting him, but after everything that had happened, she ended up in the hospital herself for a few days, and the whole thing had slipped her mind.Seeing Curitis again today stirred complicated feelings in her heart.He had risked his life to save her, and yet…All she felt for him was guilt.Phoe

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   Wedding Dress

    The weather had changed so quickly. Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and bright, but now it was dark, as if it was about to rain.The gloomy atmosphere made it hard to breathe. As Phoebe boarded the bus, out of the corner of her eye, she could still see that lone figure standing there in the distance.She thought to herself that Curitis would never appear in her life again. She had made things very clear earlier.Silently, in her heart, she whispered an apology.He would find a woman who truly deserved him. And that woman would never be her.Her heart already belonged to Alexander. No other man could enter.When she returned to the villa, Melissa greeted her eagerly, though her smile seemed a bit forced to Phoebe. She didn't think too much about it and responded with a genuine smile of her own."You're back early. Perfect timing! Come help me choose a WEDDING DRESS. There are so many, I'm getting overwhelmed. You wouldn't believe it—Alex is going on a business trip for several day

    Phoebe woke up with swollen eyes and a heavy body, wishing she could stay in bed, but she had to go to class, even though her mood was terrible.As she stepped out, her gaze caught sight of her exquisite phone, stirring a pang of sadness. With just that brief glance, she closed the door behind her.Upon arriving at school, she intentionally glanced at the bulletin board. Just as she expected, an announcement had been posted: Curitis had resigned from his position and left...As soon as she entered the classroom, a sharp voice pierced through the air."Well, look who it is, the little slut."It was Eden's voice.Phoebe didn't need to think to know who Eden was referring to. She lowered her head and took her seat, refusing to engage. Eden always picked on her, and Phoebe couldn't be bothered to respond."Phoebe, you really have some nerve! When did you and the professor become an item? You can't hide it this time," Eden spat out venomously.The surrounding students joined in with mockin

    Another day flew by, but Phoebe's mood only grew heavier. She was reluctant to go home and wished she could find a place to hide.Torn inside, she decided to visit the art studio instead, having not taught her students in a while and missing them.Alexander had restricted her freedom, not even allowing her time to teach.Adding to that, she had been to the hospital several times recently, and her job at the bar had only lasted a few days before she stopped going altogether.After spending a few hours in the studio, her spirits lifted considerably.By the time she returned to the villa, it was already ten o'clock at night.She deliberately stayed out late, avoiding the thought of Melissa marrying Alexander, which only made her more anxious about facing Melissa.After taking a shower, she lay in bed, her mind racing with thoughts, feeling exhausted. It took her a long time to finally fall asleep.That night, she had a dream about Melissa and Alexander's wedding. As soon as she appeared

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   Friend?

    As they stepped into the grand banquet hall, a sea of elegantly dressed guests filled the space—powerful elites from various industries, all mingling and exchanging pleasantries.The moment Phoebe entered, she felt countless gazes land on her. Instinctively, she shrank back slightly, tightening her grip around Alexander's arm.Alexander's expression remained cold and unreadable as his sharp eyes swept across the room, catching the way certain men eyed Phoebe with curiosity. Without a word, he subtly withdrew his arm from hers, only to move behind her and slide an arm around her waist—a gesture both possessive and intimate.Phoebe let him lead her through the crowd, their presence drawing attention wherever they passed.She had always found these social events tedious, despising the superficial interactions and empty flattery. But tonight, she was surprised to realize that she no longer minded. With Alexander by her side, his promise still ling

    Inside the car, the atmosphere was suffocating.Phoebe sat sideways in the passenger seat, her vacant eyes staring out the window. Yet, her mind was far from the passing scenery. Alexander's cold gaze and piercing words haunted her, swirling through her thoughts like ghosts refusing to fade.Alexander gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the pressure. Though his eyes remained fixed on the road ahead, his mind was elsewhere. Phoebe's earlier words were like a sharp thorn lodged deep in his heart—every time he recalled them, a stabbing pain followed.A heavy silence engulfed them. No words were exchanged, no glances met—only the low rumble of the engine and the whooshing wind outside filled the void.Before long, they arrived at the hotel where the banquet was being held.Alexander glanced sideways and uttered two cold words: "Get out."Phoebe slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with grie

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   You Slept with Him?

    Phoebe was still lost in the dizzying heat of the kiss, her mind blank, unable to fully recover from the intoxicating sensation.Without warning, Alexander scooped her up once more, striding purposefully toward the private lounge attached to his office.The heavy door shut behind them with a muffled thud. Alexander carried her straight to the large, plush bed, leaning down slightly as he gently placed her onto the soft mattress.Phoebe's body sank into the luxurious bedding, her eyes widening in alarm as she looked up at him. "What… what are you doing?""I want you." His voice was deep and husky, laced with raw desire."No, you can't." Phoebe's breath came in uneven pants. Her emotions were in turmoil—fear and confusion tangled together, yet at the same time, her body betrayed her, reacting instinctively to his closeness. This only unsettled her more."Can't?" Alexander's lips curled into a faint smirk, his gaze dark and unreadable. Slowly, his eyes drifted downward, lingering at her

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   The Enchanting Kiss

    Phoebe stood in the secluded corner, her hands trembling slightly as they reached for the buttons of her blouse. Her gaze remained locked on Alexander's back, not daring to blink. Only after watching him remain completely still for a long while did she finally exhale softly and lower her head to begin changing.When she opened the gift box and saw the delicate black lingerie inside, she froze.Lifting the sheer fabric between her fingers, she muttered under her breath, "This is lingerie?"The material was nearly transparent—she could already imagine how revealing it would be once worn. For a moment, she weighed her options: should she stick with her own undergarments, or wear this?Her eyes drifted back to the black evening gown. Its design was exquisite and unique, seemingly crafted to pair perfectly with the lingerie, enhancing its elegance with a touch of allure.Biting her lower lip, Phoebe struggled internally before finally giving in. Slowly, she unhooked her own lingerie, her m

    Phoebe dragged her exhausted body home, moving quietly to avoid disturbing her family. She didn't turn on the lights but relied on her familiarity with the house to navigate her way carefully to the bedroom in the dark.Stepping inside, she saw her children sleeping soundly in bed. Her heart instantly softened, overflowing with warmth as she unconsciously sat down beside them."Kids, Mommy saw your daddy today," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Reaching out, she gently brushed her fingers over their cheeks, her touch unbearably tender. A soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips.That night, Phoebe slept more peacefully than she had in a long time.In her dreams, she saw the bright, happy faces of her children, playing and laughing together. She saw herself joining in, their joyous laughter filling the air. And Alexander… he was there too. The four of them stood in a beautiful garden, basking in the warm sunlight. It was a dream so wonderful, so perfect, that she wis

    On most afternoons, as soon as lunch was over, Phoebe would return to her desk without delay, diving right back into work. But today, she was different. Instead of heading straight back, she wandered aimlessly around the company's surroundings, unwilling to return. It wasn't until 2:30 PM that she finally, and reluctantly, made her way back to the office.As she walked, her mind kept replaying the moment she had shaken off Alexander's grip earlier. His darkened expression told her everything—he was furious. She was almost certain he would take his revenge in the afternoon, assigning her a slew of unreasonable tasks just to make things difficult for her. With this uneasy thought lingering in her mind, Phoebe stepped into the office.Strangely enough, the entire afternoon passed without any sign of Alexander. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. There were no assignments, no sudden calls to his office—nothing.Sitting at her desk, Phoebe felt restless. Every now and then, she gla

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   Resignation

    Phoebe covered her lips, tears streaming down her face as she ran toward the restroom. She kept her head low, afraid of letting anyone see her in such a disheveled state. Once inside, she hurried into a stall, locked the door tightly, and slowly crouched down, wrapping her arms around her knees as she broke into uncontrollable sobs.Her cries echoed within the small cubicle, filled with sorrow and despair, as if trying to release all the grievances she had suppressed over the years. She cried for what felt like an eternity until her eyes were so swollen she could barely keep them open.Standing up shakily, Phoebe walked to the mirror and stared at her reflection—her puffy, distorted eyes a stark reminder of her breakdown. She turned on the faucet, cupped her hands under the icy water, and splashed it onto her face repeatedly. The coldness stung her skin, but it also helped her regain a bit of clarity. Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself and made a firm decision in her heart.Ba

    Upon reaching it, he freed one hand and, with a swift motion, swept everything off the surface.A loud crash echoed through the office as papers, stationery, and files scattered across the floor.The next second, Alexander carefully laid Phoebe down on the now-empty desk. She instinctively tried to sit up and escape, but before she could make a move, his towering frame loomed over her, pinning her beneath him.Phoebe's hands immediately pushed against him, her voice trembling with near desperation. "No, don't."But Alexander was far too strong. In an instant, he seized her wrists and forced them above her head, rendering her completely immobile."Isn't this the reason you came back?" His voice dripped with sarcasm.Phoebe's eyes welled up with tears. "I didn't… The public records never indicated you were the owner of this company. If I had known, I—"Before she could finish her sentence, Alexander abruptly leaned down, capturing her lips in a fierce, stormy kiss that swallowed her wor

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   The Office Kiss

    Phoebe's fingers hovered over the cold doorknob for a second, her knuckles whitening. She drew a sharp breath and pushed open the heavy black door.The CEO's office was more expansive than she had imagined. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the glittering cityscape beyond, while at the center of the room, a large black executive chair sat with its high back turned toward her—tall enough to nearly obscure the figure seated in it."Sir, I'm the new secretary, Phoebe Garcia." Her voice cut through the silence, so clear she could hear the faint tremor in her own words.No response.The chair rotated slowly, and Phoebe's gaze traveled upward—over polished leather shoes, long legs, an immaculately tailored suit—until it landed on that face.Alexander Knight.Her breath hitched. Her pupils constricted. It was as if every drop of blood in her veins had frozen solid.Thud. The cardboard box in her arms crashed to the floor, the small potted succulent inside shattering, soil streaking her skirt.
