My Ruthless Billionaire and I CHAPTER 32
Nikolas POVWe drove my sports car en route to the Ambrosio Mansion, there is a golden rule between the five families in the council. "Don't attack women and children." Diane broke this rule, even though she's not the head of her family yet, Don Ambrosio knows better to educate her on the rules and regulations. I clenched the power steering tightly as I accelerated the speed of the car. We kept gliding around cars in the expressway like we were in a car race.I glanced with the corner of my eye at Rainora. She was quiet since we left the hideout. I noticed her holding the tip of her hands and kept looking out through the glass window, trying to avoid my gaze. The tension inside the car was icy and awkward. I felt sweat dripping from my forehead and I was nervous to even talk about...that kiss. "Maybe I just pretend like it never happened," I mumbled quietly to myself. "No" I nodded my head in denial. We should address it since we work together, thus see each other every day.I finally

RAINORA.I trudged down the narrow dirty street leading to our cramped old house, my chest tight withhumiliation. It still burned in my cheeks as I recalled the store clerk's impatient sigh, the murmurs ofthose behind me in line, and the pointed judgmental stares that followed me as my card had declined."I'm sorry, ma'am," he said, his voice even. "Your card's been rejected."My stomach had dropped as I frantically tried to explain, "Can you rerun it? There must be amistake."The clerk obliged, but the result was the same. Insufficient funds. I'd place back the foodstuffs one byone- milk, bread, eggs, rice- until only Arin's medication remained. Clenching my jaw, I handed over thefew crumpled bills I could scrounge from my purse and left the store, not holding anyone's gaze.Now, as I stepped onto the creaky wooden porch of our house, a wave of guilt, shame, and helplessnesswashed over me.The old house had weathered over time, its paint peeling off and clinging to the wood.

RAINORA.I went down the steps of the plane, holding on tight to my little duffle bag. The humming noise of theairport was kind of unnerving as I took in the crowd of people. Through them all, I located Eunice. Herwhite blazer, tailored to perfection beneath the noon sun, complemented slim black trousers and sleekheels to a T as she waved exuberantly."Ray babe!" Eunice exclaimed as her face split in a wide grin.I smiled back shyly, walking briskly toward her. "Eunice, it's so great to see you.""Look at you," Eunice said, pulling me into a brief but warm hug. "Still petite and cute, as always. Howwas the flight?""Not bad. A bit bumpy, but manageable," I replied quietly."Good. Let me take that," Eunice offered, already reaching for the bag. "Come on, the Porsche is justover there. You must be starving.As we slid into the sleek red car, I took a moment to appreciate the luxurious interior. Eunice had alwayshad a knack for living well."Buckle up!" Eunice chimed, turning the k

RAINORA.A man, bound by wires onto a chair, bloodied, face swollen, streaked with tears, whimpered and beggedhoarsely for mercy.Across from him sat a tall, sleek man in a tuxedo with an unnerving calm, an air of authority. Two othermen stood off to the side, postures menacing.The man in the tuxedo murmured something, too low to hear."No! Please, I swear I didn't—" the bloodied man began, but his plea was cut off by a gunshot.One of the men had shot him in the thigh.The man in the chair screamed in agony, and I clapped a hand over my mouth to stifle a gasp. What wasthis?The tall man stood and, with unhurried movements, leaned in, whispering something into the bloodyman's ear. Whatever was said brought the man down in a fit of crying.My heart pounded in my chest as one raised his gun and shot the man in the head. Blood had splatteredagainst the wall, and the room remained silent.I stumbled backward, my stomach churning, bile rising in my throat. My shoulder hit the door, a

NIKOLAS.I sat at my desk, drumming my fingers against the surface. A file sat in front of me, and a name wasprinted in bold at the top: Rainora Adderman.Her face from the club flashed in his mind: wide eyes filled with fear, her delicate features framed byloose waves, and the striking contrast of her innocence against the chaos she had stumbled into. She'dlooked like an angel in the lion's den. An unintentional trespasser in a world that didn't welcomemistakes.I opened the file, feeling like I was opening Pandora's Box.Name: Rainora Adderman. Age: 22.Background: Hailing from a small town called Westbridge, her father had disappeared without a traceyears ago, leaving her mother to raise her and her younger brother, Arin, who was struggling with cysticfibrosis. Poor.She'd only recently arrived in New York, brought here by a friend's generosity--Eunice. She was workingtwo jobs: one as an assistant at Conway Law and another at a coffee shop in the evenings.

RAINORA.I stepped into the apartment in a daze, my thoughts all jumbled. My hands shook as I locked the doorbehind me.Eunice’s cheerful voice floated from the living room. She was sitting on the couch, a jade roller glidingover her cheek as she chatted animatedly on her phone. She waved, her face lighting up when she sawme—until she took in my expression.“Hey, I’ll call you back,” Eunice murmured, her tone suddenly serious. She ended the call and set herphone down, studying me. “What happened? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”I hesitated, then moved to sit on the couch. I took a deep breath. “I’m quitting my job at Conway Law.”Eunice blinked, clearly caught off guard. “What? Why?”“I got a new job,” I said quietly. “I’m going to be a personal assistant at Woods Enterprises.”Eunice stiffened, her jade roller freezing mid-motion. Her lips parted, but she didn’t say anything rightaway. After a beat, she managed, “Woods Enterprises? As in... Nikolas Woods?”I nodded, my eyes

RAINORA8.59am!Tiny sweats slowly ran through my brows. That was the time I saw on my brown leather-strapped watch. I quickly paid the taxi driver as we stopped infront of Wood Enterprises. It was a high sky scrapper that reflected the sun on its clean windows. I was amazed on the modern architecture, its tall building stretched high to the clouds. It was truly a magnificent sight. "Keep the change." I tipped the driver, he smiled cheekily as he gazed at my maroon slim-fit suit. I didn't have any formal suit so Eunice borrowed me one of her high-end suits. It accentuated my curves so I could feel the driver undressing me with his eyes."Thanks...first day right?" He asked as he turned away. "Yes" I nodded positively. Finally, I dropped down at the pavement as I hurriedly rushed into the sliding doors of the building.The lobby was filled with various people of all works of life wearing brand label suits and accessories. I thought I was wearing something expensive, but compared to th

NIKOLASThe door bell into my office rang from outside, announcing someone's presence. I saw in the cctv monitor, two gorgeous ladies at the door. First was May, one of my most trusted employees. She handled all that worked directly for me as personal assistants. She had a dignified aura, yet she had a feminine figure which was mesmerizing. The second person along with her had a strange yet familiar look about her. I pressed the button to allow them both enter. I squinted and saw the young lady beside May. She wore a tight fitted suit, yet it was obvious she was uncomfortable and sensitive on how revealing her shape showed. I could tell she wasn't used to wearing suits often. She kept re-adjusting it. I unconsciously let out a smirk on my face. It was when she entered the office that I saw it was Rainora from the club yesterday. "You're late.' I shouted. Her face gloomed filling embarrassed. She clinched her hands tensely, though she looked awkward talking while May was present. I s

I instinctively closed my eyes as my lips pressed against Rainora's. It felt soft and plump like berries. At that moment, all my control and logic seemed to vanish. A wave of desire washed over me as I used one of my hands to draw her closer to me while the other gently caressed her luscious silky hair. Her soft and round bosoms pressed against my chest, and she made silent moans of ecstasy while we caught our breaths. Time stood still as we enjoyed each other's tight embrace and make-out session. It took the interruption of Gerald before we snapped back to reality.Cough, cough.I turned around, my eyes darkening, and gazed at Gerald. He was taken aback and looked terrified. He held the handle along the staircase and lowered his gaze."What is it, Gerald?" I snapped in a sharp tone. He slumped his shoulders with an awkward look on his face. I'm so sorry...I caught one of the gang members. I thought you wanted to question him." He nervously replied while one of the captors was tied u

Rainora POVI woke up with a sharp headache. It was an excruciating pain. Also, I had a bitter taste in my mouth, as if I had just swallowed lime. My memories started coming back slowly as I tried to figure out what happened to me."Gerald had a horrid look on his face-" Someone drugged me. I slowly remembered. I was gently aware of my immediate surroundings. It was blurry because a black sack was placed over my head. I tried to free my hands, but they were tired from being up around a pipe. It felt rusty as my bare skin grazed around it. The floor had a cold, dense smell and I could only see a small window reflecting light from the top end corner of the room. There was a dim bulb, which was placed high in the center, giving the room a dull look. I could vaguely see a set of wooden stairs coming down from a shut door. There was loud TV sound of a commentator during a soccer match, while people were shouting and arguing.I yelled out in frustration, "Hey, can anyone help me?" repeatedl

Rainora POVI took a shower and went to the fridge to pick up the remaining slices of cold pizza from an order I placed some days back. I ate it along with a can of soda as I surfed through the channels of late-night shows. I slumped on the sofa in the living room as I continued eating. After I was through, I continued watching some shows till my eyes started feeling heavy. I switched off the TV and proceeded to the bedroom. As soon as I laid down on the silk-covered mattress. All the activities of the day rushed through my mind. I became restless and tried forcing myself to sleep, but it was of no use as sleep had already left my eyes a long time ago. Filling anxiety washed all over my body, I called the one person who has always been there for me. "Beep, Beep...""what's up Rainora?" Eunice replied with a concerned tone. "Hope I didn't interrupt your night." I gently asked."It's fine, I was planning to go out but I changed my mind last minute. So, how's your new office?" Eunice's
My Ruthless Billionaire and I CHAPTER 28
Rainora POVThe remaining day remained peaceful like the silence after the storm. I concluded my activities as quiet as possible. I had enough excitement for the week. I mumbled to myself. The sky was dark as the beautiful crescent of the moon shined so brightly with twinkling stars giving an illusive appeal of looking so near yet so far out of reach. I admired the wonderful sight from the roof to floor glass walls that reflected the lights from the skyscrapers around the city.I picked up my bag and headed for the lift. I turned back to check if the lights were on in Nikolas' office but they were surprisingly off.“He usually closes late, I wonder where he went to?” I thought to myself. I regained myself as the doors of the elevator slowly opened. It reached the lobby where I waved goodnight to the security men and the receptionists. They all smiled back and slightly nodded in acceptance. I let a sigh of relief as I was happy to end the day peacefully without anymore surprises. As I

Rainora POVThe news of my success in the Ambrosio Holdings meeting spread quickly across the office. Some days passed, yet I was still getting praise and compliments from my colleagues when I walked by. At first, it made me a bit nervous as I was not used to all the attention and spotlight. But eventually, I started getting comfortable around them and even made some new friends along the way.A week later has passed. I casually greeted the receptionists in the lobby and they replied with a welcoming smile."Good morning Rainora, you look lovely today."I smiled back and nodded in appreciation. I quickly passed through the security that was positioned at the executive elevator. I showed them my credentials as I entered the elevator leading to Nikolas' office floor.The floor dinged open, as I narrowed my eyes I saw Catherine's assistant picking up a crumpled paper from the bin. I rushed to her swiftly and snapped. "What are you doing here going through my waste bin?" I held her hand a

Rainora POVFridayAll the top representatives from Woods Enterprise and Ambrosio Holdings came to discuss the project. It was a construction project proposed to be one of the tallest buildings in the city after completion. Naturally, everyone was interested to see how it would pan out. The office group chat was very active as the news that I will be presenting the idea for the project at the meeting was the topic of the day."I heard Rainora will be pitching her idea for the project. I'm sure she will fall to her knees with shame."That was the consensus of most of the members of the group. I could only think of one person who will benefit from this gossip. Catherine. I felt a lump in my throat just imagining her sinister smile while the entire conference room mocked me.I wiped the sweat that glistened on my forehead as I walked behind Nikolas as we approached the door. Just as we were about to enter, Nikolas slowly turns around and taps my shoulders gently. "Don't be nervous Rainor

Rainora POVTick. TockThe wall clock perfectly set to add to the beautiful décor of Nikolas' office kept ticking as the world seemed to move a bit slower at that moment. Both me and wren watched Nikolas in amazement as he spoke in a foreign language smoothly, without stuttering or sign of difficulty. The words simply melted off his tongue. He gestured with his fingers to give him a moment to finish the call.I gazed at him with an element of jealousy. He voice was casual and he seemed to be enjoying the phone call. He saw how puzzled my face looked, and quickly mumbled some foreign words. He pressed the 'end' button and dropped his phone. I tried to feign ignorance, but he saw right through my antics. Cough, Cough.I snapped back quickly to reality. Wren had a concerned look as he checked on me. I forced a smile and slightly shook my head. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the cheeky smile on Nikolas's face as he placed his phone on the table."That was one of our investors from Pa

Rainora POVThe next day started on a positive note. I woke up feeling freshen and rejuvenated. I decided to put my worries aside and move forward. Feeling energized, I decided to wear a maroon designer suit and skirt that were among the sets I bought with May. It accentuated my curves and surprisingly boosted my self-esteem.I hope Nikolas likes it. I mumbled quietly to myself. Suddenly, a wave of anxiety washed over me. After dressing up and applying my makeup, I rushed to the kitchen to have a bowl of cereals and almond milk. Just as I took some few spoons of crunchy labeled cereals, I received a text message from Gerald."Miss Rainora, I'm parked downstairs when your ready."Hurriedly, I placed the bowl in the sink and rushed out of the apartment. I took the lift down and met gerald parked infront of the entrance. I casually smiled while gazing at him."Good morning Gerald." He politely smiled and nodded as he started the ignition of the escalade. Over the past few months, I had g
