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,

Stella’s POVThe hum of voices in the pub was a comfort, the familiar clink of glasses and the soft murmur of customers settling in for the night. I was behind the bar, cleaning the counters with a practiced hand, making sure every surface gleamed just right. I loved this place. It was mine—well, for the most part. No one could ruin it for me, not unless I let them.The door creaked open, breaking my focus. I glanced up, my fingers still wrapped around the cloth I was using to wipe down the bar. A tall woman stepped in, her heels clicking loudly on the hardwood floor as she moved with slow, deliberate steps. My first thought was: She’s overdressed for a place like this.Her gown was tight, so tight it hugged her every curve, and the material shimmered under the low lights of the pub. A rich shade of red that was far too eye-catching for someone who just wanted to grab a drink. She walked with confidence, almost as if the room had been made for her to step into, and she carried herself

Mona's POVI arrived at the office before most people had even started their commute. The air outside was crisp, still holding onto the remnants of the night’s coolness, but inside, the office was quiet, too quiet. My heels clicked on the polished stairs, a sharp sound that echoed in the empty space. I paused at the door to Vance's office, breathing heavily, a mix of nerves and anticipation settling in my chest. Today had to be the day I finally had a proper conversation with him—no interruptions, no awkwardness.I pushed the door open with a little more force than intended, the hinges creaking slightly. The room greeted me with silence, a silence that seemed to press against my ears. My eyes scanned the space quickly. Empty. The desk was perfectly arranged, papers stacked neatly as always, the window letting in the soft morning light, but no sign of Vance. My heart sank a little."Vance? Are you in?" I called out, my voice slightly shaky. There was no response.I stepped further into
Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 41
Stella’s POVThe air outside was crisp, the streetlights casting a soft glow over the quiet pavement as we walked side by side, the sound of our footsteps the only noise between us. I had already led him out of the café, taking a moment to make sure I wasn’t going to let him escape the conversation just yet. I had made a point of not being the type to linger in places I wasn’t wanted, but I was enjoying this weird, electric energy between us. It was like we were both testing the waters, seeing who could make the first move—or at least, that’s what I liked to think.I glanced over at Ian, who was holding the black coffee I had ordered for him, his expression twisted into a slight grimace as he took another reluctant sip.“You know,” I began, eyeing him with a playful smirk, “I’m not really a fan of people who don’t drink coffee the right way.”“Black coffee is the right way?” He raised an eyebrow at me, the playful edge in his voice not quite hiding his genuine distaste for the drink.
Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 40
Stella's POVI couldn’t take my eyes off them, not because I wanted to, but because I couldn’t stop myself. Vance. That damn smile of his—god, it made me sick. He looked so comfortable with her, touching her hair, whispering something in her ear, and she giggled like some love-struck teenager. My stomach twisted into a knot, tighter than a noose. My fingers curled around the stem of my drink, the ice clinking sharply against the glass, but I didn’t care. My heart was full of something—resentment, jealousy, or maybe just pure disgust. Either way, it tasted sour in my throat.I tried to focus on the music, the chatter around the club, but every time I glanced back, there he was, leaning closer to her, the way his eyes softened when he looked at her. The way he was so... casual with her. Like she was someone he could hold onto without a second thought. It made my blood boil.I wasn’t about to stand here like a fool and let him watch me squirm, so I snapped my clutch shut, sliding out of

Vance’s POVThe night air was cool as I slid behind the wheel of the car, Mona settling into the passenger seat beside me. I could feel the tension between us, thick and palpable, though neither of us acknowledged it outright. She was playing her part, doing exactly what I expected her to do—hesitating, questioning herself. It was the only game I knew how to play with her, and she was never one to walk away once she was this far in.“Where are we going?” Mona asked, her voice soft but betraying a hint of anxiety. I could tell she was trying to mask it, trying to maintain some semblance of control, but I knew better. She wouldn’t admit it, but she was curious. That curiosity would drive her, just like it always had.“You’ll see,” I said, my voice low and laced with a kind of mystery that I knew would keep her guessing. I wasn’t about to tell her everything. Mona needed to be swept into the night, and I wasn’t going to give her any chance to back out. I was already working on the edges
Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 38
Mona’s POVAfter I’d promised Ian—sworn, really—that I wouldn’t see Vance again or go back to his office, the weight of my words hung heavy in the air. I could still hear Ian’s voice, that firm, almost pleading tone, asking me to choose him and the life we were building. And for a moment, I believed I could. But then, I found myself in front of my laptop, scrolling mindlessly through emails and documents, and there it was—a message from Vance.“We need to talk. I have something to show you.”The words hit me like a sudden rush of adrenaline. My heart skipped, and I felt a familiar tug deep inside—one that pulled me back to him, to everything we shared. I hated how quickly it affected me, how easily I fell back into the rhythm of it.I told myself I wasn’t going to respond. I told myself I was done. But that promise to Ian felt like it was slipping away, just like that. I couldn't explain it, not to myself, and certainly not to Ian. The emotions swirled—guilt, desire, confusion—each on
Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 37:
Mona’s POVI can feel the weight of his eyes on me as I stand there, heart hammering in my chest. Ian doesn’t say anything for a long moment, his gaze searching mine as if trying to figure out if I’m being honest, if I really mean it when I say I’ll quit my job. Part of me is still reeling from the decision. It’s not easy, not by any stretch of the imagination. But looking at him right now, the tension etched into his face, the raw need in his eyes, I know that this is what he wants. And maybe it’s what I want too.He’s right. I’ve been torn between him and my job, between my old life and the life I could have with him. I’ve been fooling myself into thinking I could have both. But deep down, I know it doesn’t work that way. Not when it comes to Ian.His eyes soften, just slightly, and that’s enough to break something inside me. He believes me. For a second, he believes me. And that’s all I need.“I’ll do it,” I say again, my voice a little steadier this time. “I’ll quit. I’ll make it
Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 36
Ian's POVWhat is she doing with him?I can't stop thinking about it—her with Vance. That bastard. My stomach twists every time I picture it. He’s nothing but trouble, and I’ve always known he’d be a problem. I always knew he couldn’t stay away from her.I’m sitting here, scrolling through my phone, trying to push the thoughts down, but they keep crawling back up, bubbling to the surface. Anger pulses through my veins, sharp and hot, with each swipe of my thumb.I hate him. I fucking hate him. That look he gave me—like he was daring me to do something. His arrogance. It makes me want to break something. To break him.I just want to go back to when it was just me and Mona. Before he showed up, before he started throwing his weight around. But I can’t even do that, can I? She’s the one who invited him into her life. She’s the one who… chose him.The thought makes my jaw clench, but I force myself to breathe.That fight—God, it keeps playing over in my head. I can’t stop seeing the way V

The room seemed to shrink as Vance’s control finally snapped. His jaw tightened, and the words that came next were forced out between clenched teeth.“No, Melanie. You’re the one who doesn’t get it,” he spat, his voice rising with the fury that had been simmering for years. “Mona is not like you. She doesn’t use people. She’s here because she wants to be here. I hired her because she’s good at her job—better than you. You want to keep thinking the world revolves around you, but it doesn’t. I’m done letting you tear people down just because you’re afraid of losing your control.”Melanie blinked, taken aback by his outburst, but Vance wasn’t done.“Get out,” he said, his voice cold and cutting. “Go back to your office, Melanie. You’re not welcome here right now.”For a moment, Melanie stood there, fuming, but then she narrowed her eyes, letting out a mocking little laugh.“You’ll regret this, Vance,” she said, her tone low and venomous. “You always do. Just wait. One day you’ll see what
