Rebel Billionaire's True Love 33. Borrowed Time
After the whirlwind meeting, we returned to our main office, a space distinctly different from the technological wonderland of the tech room. The room was quieter, and more traditional, where we had spent countless hours planning and strategizing. Today, though, we were there to collect a few essentials needed for the big meeting tomorrow.As we packed, Penelope, with a hint of playfulness, asked, "How are we going to fit my desk in here?" I paused, considering her words. "How about we make the room bigger?" I suggested. The idea of redesigning our workspace to accommodate both of us was exciting. It symbolized not just our personal union but also our professional partnership.While downloading the necessary files to take home, an idea struck me. "Do you want to go to the fight club tonight?" I asked tentatively, watching her reaction closely.Her immediate response was a mix of surprise and concern. "You're not thinking of fighting, are you? That's not a good idea right now."I quick

The cool water of the shower cascaded over us, washing away the grime and sweat from the fight club.Standing there with Penelope, I felt a rare moment of peace in the constant frenzy that seemed to define my life. As we bathed, I couldn't help but feel the paradox of our situation. Here we were, fresh from the raw and brutal world of underground fighting, now standing in the luxury of my penthouse shower. The contrast wasn't lost on me."I'm thinking of doing something big," I said, watching as Penelope's fingers traced the contours of the muscles on my lower stomach, a playful yet distracting gesture.She giggled and continued teasing, but I gently caught her hand, smiling. "No, I'm serious.""Okay, okay," she gave up, her eyes meeting mine. "What is it?"I took a deep breath, the shower steam mingling with my thoughts. "I'm considering debuting the holographic overhead system at the party," I began, gauging her reaction. "I want to showcase a few different applications, including

The playfulness between us was effortless and light as we dressed after our shared shower. I reached for a pair of black slacks, and Penelope pouted. "Back to all business today?" she teased, her eyes twinkling with humor. I chuckled, fastening my belt. "Maybe I should start a casual Friday policy at the office," I suggested, the idea amusing me. She laughed, a sound that never failed to warm my heart. "It won't have the same effect if everyone's in jeans, you know. There's something about the CEO strutting around in casual wear that's uniquely... rebellious." I grinned, considering her words. "Maybe I'll just make it my personal dress code then." As we continued to get ready, I glanced at her, a sudden impulse striking me. "Hey, want to take the bike to work?" I asked, half-serious. She gave me a look that was a mix of disbelief and amusement. "Are you trying to give everyone at the office a heart attack?" I laughed, the sound echoing in the room. "Okay, okay, point taken," I
Last Updated : 2023-11-26Rebel Billionaire's True Love 1. Restless Darkness
A restless darkness took hold of me, growing stronger with each passing moment. It started as a whisper, an urge for something more, something thrilling. I should have expected this. After the stressful day I had, I was surprised my assistant Penny held my attention as long as she did. By day, I was the impeccable CEO, navigating the corporate battlefield with a calculated demeanor. But the mask often slipped away as night fell, revealing a man craving adrenaline. An escape. The transformation was swift. I peeled off the layers of my executive self, discarding the tux and tie that symbolized Lane Enterprises. Instead, I put on a black baseball cap, a plain white t-shirt, a leather jacket, and faded jeans. Clothing that rendered me unrecognizable, even to myself. Within moments, I stepped out of my penthouse, a shadow of my usual self, driven by a need to escape. The city's underbelly hid secrets. One of its darkest was the underground fight club I was drawn to night after night. L

Their hand closed around the bills, and for a moment, they just stared at them, trying to comprehend this unexpected turn of fortune. "Thank you," they whispered. "I don't know what to say." "There's no need to say anything," I said, standing up. "Just take care of yourself, okay?" As I walked away, I glanced back to see the person still looking at the money. It was a small act, but it felt significant. In the cold, lonely night, it was a fleeting connection in a world where I increasingly felt disconnected. Approaching my building, I passed Gene, the doorman who always greeted me with a discreet nod, never questioning my late-night returns or mentioning them to others. I handed him the rest of the money, a silent thank you for his discretion. He accepted it with a surprised, grateful smile, and I headed upstairs. The elevator ride to my penthouse was a solitary journey, a time to reflect on the night. The physical pain from the fight was nothing compared to the realization that, l

As I leaned against the cool glass of my penthouse window, the city stretched out below like a canvas of flickering lights.The suite was a masterpiece of modern luxury. High ceilings, walls adorned with abstract art, and sleek furniture that whispered of wealth and taste. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the city, a constant reminder of the heights I'd reached.Turning back to the soirée, I watched the city's elite mingle. The room was filled with opulent décor and designer attire, the air fragrant with expensive colognes and perfumes. My black suit, tailor-made, felt like a second skin, its fabric smooth and perfectly cut. I had chosen it for its understated elegance, a reflection of my personal style."Another successful evening, Mr. Lane," Roger, my trusted friend and business partner, commented as he joined me."Seems so," I replied, offering a smile that masked the hidden weariness these nights always brought.As a familiar melody began to play, a song fro

The boardroom at Lane Enterprises was packed. Industry titans sat around the long table, waiting for me to start the quarterly review. The overhead lights reflected off the polished table, but my mind wandered to the city below. The presentation felt like it was happening to someone else. I fiddled with my cufflinks, barely able to focus on the numbers flashing on the screen. I heard whispers. “Is Wyatt alright?” I didn’t care. The room full of investors, all of them expecting the usual charm and drive from me, could wait. The presentation continued, and I delivered the slides on autopilot. When it finally ended, the applause was polite but lacked any real energy. I stepped forward, offering the basics. “Thank you. Lane Enterprises remains committed to innovation.” Mr. Thompson, an executive, reached out to shake my hand. “Strong projections, Wyatt.” I shook his hand, my smile strained. “Thanks, the team worked hard.” Ms. Rivera joined us, asking about the expansion into Europe.

The darkness of the Lane Mansion enveloped us as we stepped inside, its vast corridors and grand rooms lying in silent repose. The only sign of life was usually Aiken, our butler, but given our unannounced arrival and his penchant for wine in the evenings, I suspected he was still fast asleep in his house out back. I flicked on the lights, and the mansion came to life, each switch illuminating parts of my past. The mansion's grandeur was overwhelming, yet it felt more like a museum than a home. I made my way to the den, the familiar scent of aged wood and leather greeting me. Flopping onto the plush couch, I watched Penelope move towards the kitchen. From my vantage point, I observed her with a quiet admiration. Penelope was at ease in the kitchen, where she had prepared countless meals over the years. Her movements were graceful and efficient, a dance she performed with the confidence of someone who knew every inch of the room. She moved from the fridge to the counter, her hands s

The restless energy pulsating through me demanded an outlet to channel the whirlwind of thoughts and feelings racing in my mind. Despite the calming effect of the medication and Penelope's presence, there was a part of me that still craved the physical release. The adrenaline rush that came with the intense physicality of boxing.Quietly, I grabbed a pair of jeans from the desk and slipped into them. I opted to go barefoot, hoping to minimize any noise that might disturb Penelope's much-needed rest. As I cued up a boxing scenario, the familiar thrill of anticipation tingled through me.The room transformed, the holographic boxers materializing around me. I felt a surge of energy, a sense of liberation as I moved with a fluidity and agility that had been absent for too long. Each maneuver, each dodge, and each virtual punch was a step closer to feeling whole again. My body responded instinctively, reveling in the freedom and power of each movement.Then, mid-motion, I stumbled and ne
Rebel Billionaire's True Love 31. It's About Time
As Penelope nestled into the comfort of the couch, her body relaxing into the soft fabric, I couldn't help but feel a wave of affection wash over me. She looked so peaceful and at ease, a stark distinction to my agitation. Leaning down, I gently kissed her forehead, whispering softly, "Hey, if you doze off here, just remember, when you wake up, this place might look like a sci-fi command center or a boxing ring. Don't freak out, okay?" She murmured a sleepy acknowledgment, a faint smile on her lips as she wrapped herself in the blanket, her head disappearing beneath it. I turned back to my array of screens, the task at hand clawing at my mind with relentless urgency. The footage, now paired with the transcripts from the lip-reader, promised revelations. Some I anticipated, others I dreaded. As I dove into the dialogue, the reality of what had transpired during my absence from the company began solidifying in a way that left me reeling. The project was initiated during Morgan's te
Rebel Billionaire's True Love 30. Without Any Fuss
The morning sunlight filtered through the windows as I woke up, already feeling a sense of anticipation for the day ahead. Penelope was already stirring, her movements slow and deliberate as she navigated the lingering discomfort from her injuries. I watched her for a moment, admiring her resilience. "Morning," I said, my voice still heavy with sleep. "Morning," she replied, offering a small but genuine smile. Despite the bruising on her face, a light in her eyes spoke volumes about her inner strength. As we got ready for work, I noticed her skillfully applying makeup to cover the bruises. The transformation was impressive. "You're pretty good at that," I commented, leaning against the doorway. She gave me a playful smile. "Years of practice," she said. "Now, let's see what I can do about yours." I raised an eyebrow, slightly amused. "Really?" She nodded, beckoning me over. I sat down, and she gently applied makeup to the lingering marks left over on my face. "I should have

We headed to the pharmacy, a quiet air between us, filled with unspoken thoughts and a newfound understanding. I could feel Penelope's calming presence beside me, a comforting reminder of our conversation with Dr. StClaire. Inside the pharmacy, the mundane task of collecting my medication felt odd. I didn't usually handle these things on my own. I reached for the prescribed anxiety meds, feeling a twinge of resistance but knowing it was necessary. As I handed them to the pharmacist, I caught a glimpse of the condom aisle. On impulse, I walked over and grabbed a box. Penelope watched me, a playful glint in her eyes. "Just in case, huh?" she teased, a smile tugging at her lips. I shrugged, feeling a little bashful but firm in my decision. "Just in case you change your mind, you know, options," I replied, trying to sound casual but aware of the deeper implications of my choice. She chuckled softly, her eyes warm with affection. "Always thinking ahead, aren't you, Wyatt?" she said, he

The warm water of the shower cascaded over me as I lathered my hair, my thoughts drifting to how seamlessly Penelope and I were falling into this new phase of our relationship. It felt natural, as if we'd been doing it for years, and that realization made me smile. Through the clear glass of the shower, I watched Penelope settle into the bath, her presence a comforting constant in the ever-changing landscape of my life. I took my time in the shower, moving methodically as I shaved my chest, stomach, and pubic area. The razor glided smoothly over my skin, its repetition almost therapeutic. I was acutely aware of Penelope's gaze on me, her eyes following each movement with an unnerving and exhilarating intensity. Every now and then, I caught her eyes through the steamy glass, her expression one of quiet observation. The moment's intimacy was not lost on me. Here I was, performing a routine yet personal task under her watchful eyes. It was an exposure I had never allowed anyone else
Rebel Billionaire's True Love 27. I Never Knew
As I quietly slipped out of Penny's embrace, the neon numbers of the clock reading 4:15 am glowed in the darkness. I paused, savoring the peaceful sight of her sleeping. Resisting the urge to shower — an action becoming more of a compulsion than a necessity — I headed towards my office instead. I knew there, amidst my technological sanctuary, I could delve into work without disturbing her slumber. The office in our city penthouse starkly contrasted the one at the estate. Here, the technology was cutting-edge, a testament to my relentless pursuit of perfection and control. As I entered, the room came to life, the overhead holographic projector and rows of screens lighting up, enveloping me in a sea of data and virtual imagery. This was my realm, where I could drown in the endless information streams and momentarily escape the complexities of emotions and relationships. Each screen told a different story, and each data point was a piece of the puzzle I was trying to solve. The latest,
