Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 25
Mona's POVThe car sped down the road, the tires screeching as Vance pushed the accelerator harder, the engine roaring under the pressure. I glanced out the window, my eyes fixed on the blurred lines of the street lights as they passed. My mind, however, was a whirlwind of thoughts, spinning faster than the car itself. I wasn’t sure why I felt so uneasy, why I’d agreed to get in the car with a man I’d just met, but something about him was calming, in an odd way.I let my gaze linger on the road, trying to focus on something else, but then my mind flickered back to Ian. The way he had been with me recently. His affection. His calmness. At first, I had thought it was all an act, a front to hide something darker, something more sinister. But now, after everything that had happened, I wasn’t so sure. Maybe he wasn’t as bad as I’d imagined. Maybe he was just... complicated. I couldn’t deny that there was something in his touch, his gaze, that made me feel... safe.Safe. What a weird word f

Mona's POVThe words "Drop me off?" tasted strange on my tongue as they left my lips, like I was saying something that wasn’t mine to say. The truth was, I wasn't sure I even wanted to leave. The idea of Ian seeing me with someone else—someone like Vance—clawed at the edges of my mind, making my pulse quicken. It didn’t matter how much I tried to push the thought away. The nagging sense of guilt wouldn't let me breathe.Vance's gaze was unwavering, but there was something sharp in his eyes, something calculating that I couldn't quite place. He tilted his head, his lips pulling into a knowing half-smile as he drove. "You feel uncomfortable with the idea, don’t you? You’re not okay with it?"His words sliced through my reverie. I could feel the heat of his stare on the side of my face. He was right, of course. But how could I admit that? How could I confess to him, to anyone, that my life had suddenly felt like it was crumbling into pieces? I wasn’t the woman who needed saving. Yet here

Ian's POVI stood in the living room, my pulse still racing as the sound of Mona’s footsteps grew louder. I knew she’d come through that door, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of rage that coiled tight in my chest. Every breath I took felt like fire, burning through me, threatening to spill over.She had gotten out of the car. She’d looked at me like I was the enemy. Like I was the one who had done something wrong. And it hit me all at once—she was the one who had put distance between us. Not just physically, but emotionally.The sound of the door creaking open snapped me out of my thoughts, and I turned to face her. She was standing there, eyes wide, but her stance was defiant. I could see the way she held herself—like she was trying to hold on to something, but I wasn’t sure what.Before she could say anything, I crossed the room in two strides, gripping her wrist so hard I knew she would feel it tomorrow. She flinched, her eyes flicking to where I was holding her as though it physi

Vance’s POVI spun lazily in my chair, my eyes tracing the sleek lines of the office, the hum of my phone call blending into the background. Veronica was in full-on teenage-mode, as usual—ripping into me about my life choices, my wardrobe, my lack of a personal life.“Vance, you seriously need to get off your high horse and date someone who doesn’t look like she stepped out of a magazine," Veronica mocked, her voice dripping with her usual blend of exasperation and affection.I chuckled, letting my chair spin one more time. "And what’s wrong with that? I happen to like women who know how to present themselves."“Puh-lease. You like the idea of women who look good in photos. You don’t know the first thing about finding someone who actually gets you. Seriously, when was the last time you—”"Don’t start," I cut in, laughing at her irritation. "You're not even old enough to understand what I need, Veronica. Trust me, my life is perfectly fine without whatever nonsense you’re suggesting."

Vance's POVShe blinked, clearly taken aback. "Wait—seriously? You want me to work for you?"I turned to face her fully now, unable to suppress the excitement building inside of me. "Of course. You’re the only person I trust with something like this. You’re not just smart, Mona. You’re resourceful. You have what it takes to manage my life without me even asking." I took a step toward her, locking eyes with her as I spoke. “And more than that... I think you’re the right person for this. I’m offering you a job. If you’re interested.”She looked at me for a long moment, uncertainty flickering across her face, and then she nodded slowly. “I think I’d like that,” she said, a quiet warmth filling her voice.I smiled, but I wasn’t done yet. My mind was already turning.“Hold on,” I said, grabbing my phone from the desk and dialing my secretary’s number without hesitation. “Liza,” I said, my voice firm, “come back in here, I need to speak with you.”Mona’s eyes flickered to me, surprised. But

Mona’s POVI let out another shriek of joy as the cold water hit my skin, running down from my head to my toes. I couldn't help it—this was the first time in my entire life that someone had honored me enough to offer me a job. A job. The words echoed in my head like a sweet, soft melody. I clutched the shower wall, breathless from the excitement. This wasn’t just any job. This was my chance, my ticket to a life outside of Ian’s suffocating grip. The idea of having my own money, my own purpose—it felt so damn good.I couldn't contain it anymore. Another scream burst from my lips, louder than before. My eyes fluttered shut, and I let the cold water wash away everything else. Every drop was like a cleansing wave, taking with it all the doubts, all the fears, all the long months of waiting for something, anything, to change. Today, it was changing.“Are you okay in there?” Ian’s voice echoed down the hallway, his deep, sarcastic tone piercing through the bathroom door.I rolled my eyes, m

Ian’s POVI stood by the window, watching her slip into the car like it was the most normal thing in the world, like she hadn’t just dropped a bombshell on me. The black Toyota Camry—new, sleek, 2024 model—was the last thing I expected her to get into. The sound of the engine revved as the car sped off, disappearing around the corner before I even had a chance to react.I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. My whole body burned with a furious energy I couldn’t shake.Who the hell did she think she was? Walking out like that, acting like she had somewhere to go, like she didn’t owe me everything—everything.The anger that had been simmering inside me suddenly boiled over. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, but it didn’t work. Not when she left me standing there, staring after her, a hole in my gut that only her departure could leave. It was like a weight pressing down on my chest, suffocating me with every passing second.No. She wasn’t going anywhere. Not like

Mona's POVI walked into the company with Vance by my side, the weight of his presence both reassuring and unsettling at the same time. I had gotten used to his calm, controlled manner, but I couldn’t deny the sudden surge of heat in my chest as he held my handbag in his steady grip. It was a simple act, but it felt so intentional, as though he were claiming something that had never been his before. And I was beginning to let him.I stole a quick glance at him, our fingers brushing for a brief moment before he pulled away. My heart skipped, just a little. Ian wouldn’t like this—me with Vance. Ian, who had made it clear that I belonged to him in the most suffocating of ways. Ian, who would never let me go, not even if I begged him. But Vance... Vance was different. He made me feel like I mattered, like I had a choice.I smiled to myself, glancing around at the people in the lobby staring at us. I could feel their curiosity pressing in on me, but I couldn’t care less. I was with Vance,

Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 69
Author's POVShe ran like hell was licking at her heels. Her breath tore from her throat in jagged gasps, eyes wide and glassy, barely seeing where she was going. The night was cool but her skin burned, slick with sweat, heart pounding loud in her ears like war drums. She didn’t dare look back. Not once. She didn’t need to. Brown’s rage was enough to propel her forward, each step screaming with a desperation that only comes when you know—know—you’ve just danced with death and somehow slipped away with your soul.Her boots pounded against cracked pavement, weaving through alleys until she burst into the open light of the main road. Neon signs blinked like watching eyes. Cars hummed by, indifferent to the storm in her bones.And then—tires screeched.A black car jerked to a stop right in front of her. She stumbled back with a startled gasp, ready to bolt again, until the driver’s window rolled down.“Well, damn. That you?”The voice was like velvet and trouble wrapped in sarcasm. Her ey

Brown's POV"What the hell are you saying? You can't bring the documents containing Ian's business deal with the Europeans?" I growled, my voice rough as gravel, slicing through the air like a blade. My fist slammed into the oak table with a thunderous crack, shaking the glass and papers that sat on its surface. She flinched, her body recoiling instinctively. Her wide, glossy eyes stared at me—frightened, wounded. She looked like a cornered animal, ready to bolt, but too broken to run."I—I'm trying my best, Brown. It's not easy to work as a help in a toxic home just to get valuable documents," she stammered, voice trembling, hands wringing together. Her lip quivered as she took a shaky step back, brushing her knuckles over her cheek.“I killed their cook… in the name of getting this…” Her voice cracked, and she swallowed hard, trying to compose herself, but the fear in her gaze betrayed her strength.The words hit me like a slap. Killed? That was unexpected, even for her.She backed

Flynn’s POVBut Mona wasn’t having it. She stepped into the doorway, blocking my exit. Her presence filled the space, making the already small hallway feel even more suffocating."No, no, no, Flynn," she said, shaking her head in mock sympathy. "You’re not going anywhere until you tell me what’s going on." She crossed her arms tighter across her chest, making sure I knew she wasn’t backing down. "You don’t just sneak out of here without telling me where you’re going. You work for me, remember?"I bit my lip to keep from snapping. Mona had this habit of reminding me of my position every chance she got, and it never failed to get under my skin. I didn’t want to fight her, but I knew I had no choice. If she got curious enough, she’d find out more than she needed to, and that would put me in even more danger."I’m just... taking care of some things. Personal stuff." I repeated, my voice a little more forceful this time, hoping she'd buy it.But Mona was no fool. Her sharp eyes bored into

Flynn’s POVI was still rolling from one end of my bed to the other, wrapped in my comforter like a burrito, when my phone rang. Loud. Way too loud. Like, offensive-to-my-eardrums loud.I groaned, blindly flinging a hand over the bed, searching for the buzzing traitor that had the audacity to disrupt my sleep. My fingers finally landed on the screen, and I yanked it up toward my face, my eyes squinting like the sun itself had just slapped me.“Who the hell—” I mumbled, my voice scratchy, crust still in the corner of my eyes. I blinked. The caller ID was just a string of numbers, no name. Suspicious. Rude.I debated tossing it back under my pillow. Whoever it was could wait. Or not exist. Preferably both. But just as I was about to end the call with a swipe of my pinky, a loud voice boomed through the phone speaker:“FLYNN!”I flinched so hard I nearly dropped the phone on my face.Oh. No. That voice.“Shit,” I whispered, sitting upright with the speed of someone who just realized they

Ian’s POVI was hearing voices downstairs—raised, sharp, female voices—and my stomach dropped like a stone in a pond.At first, I thought I was imagining it. I’d barely made it down the driveway, needed a damn breather after that phone call, but the moment I got out of the car, the shrieking tone of Mai’s laugh sliced through the quiet like a chainsaw in a library.What the actual hell?I took the porch steps two at a time and threw open the front door.And that’s when chaos hit me square in the face.Mona came flying at me like a human missile, barefoot, hair wild, wearing nothing but my shirt and righteous fury. She launched into my arms like a hurricane had possessed her.“She came here!” she shouted, voice muffled against my chest. “She came here like the devil on a bender, Ian! She was in the kitchen, giggling and scheming and trying to possess your soul or some crap like that!”I blinked. “Uh… who?”She pulled back, eyes blazing. “MAI!”Behind her, Flynn raised a hand like a wea

Mona’s POVI watched him leave, the front door closing behind him with a finality that settled in my bones like a slow, creeping frost. Ian didn’t even look back.I should’ve been angry. Furious, maybe. But all I felt was hollow. My chest ached, the silence stretching out in the room like a punishment. And all because he answered a damn call. From her. Mai.That good-for-nothing, manipulative, arrogant... illiterate.I hated how it made me feel. Jealous. Insecure. Like I was twelve again and being picked last for the team, only this time the prize was Ian, and I was the one losing.I ran a hand through my tangled curls, eyes burning as I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. The house felt colder without him in it. Colder and quieter.I pulled his shirt tighter around me—the one I slept in last night. The hem brushed mid-thigh, soft cotton and his scent wrapping around me like a second skin. I padded toward the stairs barefoot, each step a whisper against the polished wood.
Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 63
Mona’s POVIan?Wait—what the hell are you doing here?I blinked once. Twice. But no, I wasn’t hallucinating. It was him. Ian Devereux, standing like a ghost from a past I had just buried — in broad daylight, in front of my favorite corner café, where I was supposed to be minding my business and my cappuccino.I narrowed my eyes, instantly on edge. “I thought we got things over. You chose Me over me, remember? So what’s with the long face? She not reading bedtime stories anymore?”He looked like he hadn’t slept in days. His hair was messier than usual, like he’d been running his hands through it out of habit. He wore the same black coat I once stole to sleep in, and the way it clung to his frame made him look colder, heavier… like guilt had a physical weight.“Mona,” he said my name like it was an apology in itself. I didn’t flinch.“No, seriously,” I continued, folding my arms across my chest. “What do you want, Ian? Closure? A sequel? Or are you just here to remind me that I was stu
Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 62
Mona’s POVMy fingers trembled around the handle of my bag, but I wasn’t sure if it was from rage or betrayal. I had tracked Ian here like a madwoman, using a location-sharing app I clowned onto his phone when I felt something in my gut — that sharp, stinging woman’s instinct. And there he was, sitting across from her. Mia. The girl who couldn't read a chapter, let alone close the book.“Yes, it’s me,” I said, my voice shaking, barely above a whisper. “Is she the reason you've been skipping breakfast and ignoring my calls?”I took a step forward. My heels clicking against the marble tiles were the only sound between us. I saw Ian’s lips part like he wanted to say something — a thousand excuses forming behind his guilty eyes — but before he could, she stood up like she owned the air we breathed.“Ian has no explanation to give for his attitude towards you, Madam Mona,” Mia said, her voice laced with smug venom. She tossed her sleek hair behind her shoulder, like she was about to walk a

Mia’s POVHe exhaled. “Mia, this doesn’t have anything to do with—”“Oh, it doesn’t?” I said, laughing with disbelief. “That’s interesting. Because the last time I checked, you were parading around with that silicone Barbie like she was your forever after.”He sighed, the kind of sigh that wasn’t tired—it was guilty. I knew that sound. I’d heard it too many times when I caught him lying by omission.“You’re deflecting,” I said sharply. “Why?”“Because she’s not in the picture anymore,” he said, suddenly serious. “She doesn’t live with me. She hasn’t for over a month.”I blinked, stunned for a second.“What?” I said slowly. “You broke up?”He didn’t say anything.“Oh my god,” I whispered, the pieces clicking in my head. “You two broke up. And now suddenly you’re interested in working with me?”“I’ve been interested in working with you since the deal was proposed,” he replied firmly. “Don’t twist it.”“Oh honey, I’m not twisting a damn thing. I’m just connecting dots. The timeline’s too
