Ruin The Billionaire What are friends for?
LillyAfter breaking up with Jake, I decided to focus on work. As soon as he left Leah’s house, I called our assistant editor to find out if there was any undercover job that needed to be done. Her answer was positive. Someone was needed to investigate a construction project for a government house. There were allegations of corruption and the people responsible were trying their hardest to squash the reports. I told her I would take the job and start as soon as possible. As soon as she confirmed that I could take it, is started doing my research. I was busy digging up and reading articles and reports when an entertainment news article notification popped up on my phone.“Jake Rylland and Heather Martins Reportedly Back Together.”The news hit me like a tonne of bricks. It was like someone had inserted a blade right through my heart. At first, I convinced myself that it was a clickbait article so I clicked on it to read what the article contained.The first thing I saw was a picture o
Ruin The Billionaire Have fun
Jake.I spent most of the day with Ashley while Heather sulked off and joined some group of lads. I knew she had called my mother who was most likely was angry at me for abandon her dream daughter in law. She was probably trying to call and threaten me every minute but unfortunately for her, my phone was switched off. She had no power over me without her threats.Ashley and I played several games and toured the island. Several paparazzi took pictures of us. I didn’t even want to know what was going out there. Media houses were probably wondering which of the two women I wanted. I had been photographed with Heather at some point and then with Ashley. I didn’t mind the attention, having gone numb. After losing Lilly, my heart had become numb and most of my emotions were off. That was why I was able to act callously to the two women around me. I did not care about them and their emotions. They were both adults who had chosen to come even though they knew I was not in love with any of th
Ruin The Billionaire Too late
Lilly.The break up with Jake really messed me up. I had placed so much hope in the relationship so I was shattered when it suddenly ended. I had not realised just how much I had grown to love him. I was so used to having him around that life seemed very bleak without him. I could barely sleep that night. By morning, I was feeling better but not good enough. I called in sick at work but the assistant editor threatened to take me off the undercover investigation team. I was, therefore, forced to get up and go to work. I later realised that it was better that way. Distracting myself with work was better than dealing with all the pain while locked in a room. I wore a disguise and went to look for a job at the construction site. The manager claimed there were no empty positions available. They were probably careful because they knew they were being investigated. However, that did not stop me. I went to a nearby restaurant and waited for lunch time while I worked suing my laptop. When lu
Ruin The Billionaire Instability in my life
Lilly’s POVBecause of my loud scream, some doors opened. Kyle quickly entered and pushed us in before closing the door. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun. My scream froze in my throat.“Hey, lady. What’s going on in there?” one of the neighbours asked from outside my door.“You’re going to tell them that everything is alright,” Kyle told me. He went and leaned against the wall while pointing the gun at me. He chose to stand on the part that would be behind the door if someone opened it.I was going to open the door and run for my dear life when he held up a photo. I gasped. It was a photo of Amy. That implied that I had to everything he wanted or he would harm her. I faked a smile and threw the door open.“Hello,” I began. “I’m so sorry for disturbing you. It’s just that my boyfriend surprised me. I’m so sorry for inconveniencing you this morning.”“That scream was not one of surprise,” a dark skinned woman said. “Are you sure you’re okay.”“Yes, there’s nothing for yo
Ruin The Billionaire Three evil women
Jake.My mother thought she could ruin my vacation, but instead got hers ruined. She had come to threaten me but got silenced in the best way possible. After she tried to blackmail me with something she knew would destroy me, I did not feel an ounce of love for her. i accepted that there was no point in trying to change her. No amount of love and niceness would lighten her dark heart. I realised that she only cared about herself. I was not going to let her continue to use me to get what she wanted. This was my life and I was in charge of it.Ashley and I were from swimming when we found Heather standing outside her hotel room, scrolling through her face. “Where is Mrs. Rylland?” she asked me. “What did you do to her?”I laughed so hard, throwing my head back. “How pathetic can you get? Better pack your things and return home because I can tell that you will not enjoy this vacation. It’s too bad that the person you called to help you in your evil plans bailed on you.”“I don’t think M
Ruin The Billionaire Visiting
Lilly.The house was located near the road, a regular suburban house with a white picket fence and a flower garden in the front. “What are you staring at?” Kyle asked. “Let’s go in. Mum is waiting.”I opened the door and stepped out. I was feeling weary, tired of Kyle’s constant abuse with no way out. He had to go as far as making me meet his parents yet he knew that I was not in love with him.He locked the car and we walked up the pathway leading to the porch. When we got to the door, he opened it and ushered me inside.“Mum,” he called out. A woman came from the kitchen, wearing a blue apron. She was a woman of small stature, and had brown skin. Her hair was short and cropped. She looked to be in her forties.“Lilly, right.” She said with a welcoming smile. I faked one. “Welcome home. Kyle has told me so much about you.”“Really?”“Yes, it’s nice to finally meet you and put a face to the name that my son loves so much.”“It’s nice to meet you too, Mrs. Munther. Kyle has only said
Ruin The Billionaire The outreach
Lilly.Kyle got what he deserved, a long sentence. The evidence I presented and the testimonies from my neighbours were the final lead to the coffin. His past was dug up and more women came up to testify against him. They had been so afraid of what he’d do to them. There was even case in which he almost murdered a woman and was seen by witnesses. Some people who testified came from his town. When the judge announced that he had been found guilty, we all rejoiced. The 40 years of jail time he was given were sufficient. By the time he came out, he’d be 66 and people would know what kind of person he was so they could stay away from him.I was too relived that the psycho was finally out of my life. Now I could live a normal life. Kyle was out. Jake was out. It was just me, alone. The best part about it was that I was not scared. Being alone seemed so good, my life would be so much better without all drama relationships had caused me. Had I just focused on my career, none of that would ha
Ruin The Billionaire The unwanted party
Jake.Usually arriving home was a good thing for me, but that that day it gave me a feeling of dread. There was a party going on so I went in through the back. My mother and her annoying friends were having the time of their lives in my house. It was infuriating but unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about it. I managed to get upstairs without being noticed by anyone, or so I thought. I was reaching out to open my door, glad that no one had seen me when I heard my name. My face fell as I turned to face the familiar voice.“What do you want now?”“We’re in your house,” she stated. “It would be so rude for you not to say anything to the guests. Could you please freshen up and come downstairs.”“Mother, I feel tired. Besides, you did not tell me about this party. You can’t just ambush me and expect me to roll with the flow.”“Well, I do.” She said. “And you know better than to disobey me.”“Whatever,” I said, opening the door and walking in. I heard the click of her red heels a

Ruin The Billionaire A happy couple
LillyIt was a beautiful, sunny afternoon in the pack. The birds were chirping, the flowers were blooming and we were was strolling along the winding path. Jake and I were enjoying the serene ambience and talking about the future. We approached a fountain and I stopped walking to observe it.Suddenly, Jake dropped to one knee.I gasped.“Lilly,” he said, looking up at me, “You’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever known. You make me happier than I ever thought possible and I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life without you. Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?”My eyes welled up in tears and I took his hand, helping him to his feet.“Yes, yes. I will marry you.”He slipped the exquisite ring on my finger.“I promise to always love and cherish you, and to make you the happiest woman in the world,” he said, kissing me softly on the lips. We then embraced before devouring each other’s lips. It was only after we pulled apart for air that I saw a photographer and my friends a
Ruin The Billionaire He turned into a jailbird
Lilly.I nervously clutched my bad as I walked through the white corridors of the station. I was led to a small, windowless room. I sat down at a table and waited, my heart pounding in my chest. After a few minutes, Jake was escorted in by a guard. He looked tired and pale but still fairly good.“Hey,” I said, trying to sound casual.“Hey,” he replied, his voice barely above a whisper.We sat in silence for a while.“I didn’t do it,” he finally said. “I could never do that to my own mother. She was driving me crazy but not once did I think of killing her.”“I’m sorry about what happened.”“Do you believe me?”“I don’t know. I find it hard to believe most of the things you say.”“I’ve never lied to you.”“You said you loved me.”“I love you. I never stopped.”“But when we broke up, you ran off with another woman. Anyway, that doesn’t matter. I just wanted to… I don’t even know why I’m here. Whether you killed your mother or not is not my business.”“I did not kill her. I’m many things
Ruin The Billionaire Not ready to face Jake
Lilly.“Johnny Knightley,” I said. Leah was watching me in silence as she ate an apple. “That’s the man who fooled me. He made me fall in love with him and ruined my life.”“Are you surprised? He’s Jake’s best friends. Birds of the same feather blah blah blah.”“How did I not know about him all that time I was doing my research? I get that he was away in some small town but I’m really surprised that his name did come up.”“He has a nice name, actually, better than Ian.”“That’s not helping.”“I pity that beautiful girl. Imagine falling in love with such a person.”“Well, maybe she’s as stupid as I am. I mean, I fell in love with the one who started the plot. Johnny was just helping his friend out, but Jake created the idea.”Seeing Jake and Johnny so happy had opened the wounds that had been just about to heal. When I saw them, I felt so much pain that I couldn’t stop myself from lashing out even though I knew my boss was right outside. I had thought Athena would be mad when she found
Ruin The Billionaire The arrest
Jake.Although my father and I lived in the same city, we never spent a lot of time together. We did not have a lot in common. He was not very business savvy and had little interest in running the family business which was why he couldn’t wait for me to become old enough to handle everything. As soon as I took over, he decided to move to a quiet area in New Jersey and continue with his scientific research. I liked to think of him as a mad scientist. One of the reasons I didn’t like being around him was that he was always talking about science. After separating from my mother, he met some science teacher of his age and they started living together. They were both crazy about science since they even had a lab at home. Since my mother was driving me crazy, I had decided to go and see him because he was the only one who could understand what I was going through. He was the man who had married the devil, so he had idea what being a son of the devil was like. “I don’t understand why you
Ruin The Billionaire Fighting mother
Jake.Johnny had been right. The sandy haired woman with wide and sharp eyes was quite the looker. The photo I had seen before did not do justice to her in a way. She was way more beautiful and warm in person, especially when wearing a casual red dress and heels. Her hair fell down the sides of her face in beautiful curls and her smile could melt the coldest heart. Had I met her first, I would have totally taken her.But Katarina Hayes belonged to my friend Johnny Knightley. Johnny and his beautiful girlfriend had decided to come to New York for a vacation. He also wanted to show her everything the big apple had to offer. As his best friend, I was one of those things. I was happy because they had come at a right time when I really needed a friend. Everything was driving me up the wall. Now that my best friend was back, I was starting to feel better.“So Katarina, do you see yourself living her or do you like your town better?” I asked. Katarina smiled. “That’s a hard one. I like my
Ruin The Billionaire Bad college memories
Jake Some years back, I arrived at my first ever apartment, not far from the University of New York where I was to study. A lot of my high school friends had joined the same university and I had lived in New York my whole life so it was not a big change. It was like being home away from home. The only difference was that I was nineteen and had a kind of freedom that my parents had never allowed me before. I could do whatever I wanted.At Castle apartment building, I met James Milner. James Milner was your typical jock. He looked like those thirty something year old men who play teens in movies and series. He had a muscled body, pretty face and was the quarterback of the football team. My family was rich, but James’ family was crazy rich. While we were of new money, he came from old money. The riches had been in his family for generations and generations. James did not have to work for anything. James was in his last year of college, older than me but he took me under his wing. We qu

Lilly.“I think someone is stalking me,” I told Leah a week later. I had just sat down at the diner where she had been waiting for me after leaving work early. Walking from the office to the diner, I had felt that someone was watching me. Even in the morning when I arrived at work, I had felt it. I called the officer in charge of Kyle’s case and he confirmed that Kyle was still behind bars. “Are you serious?” She asked before closing the book she had been reading and placing it on top of the table. I glanced at it before turning back to her.“Yeah.”“Are you sure you’re not worrying too much about Kyle?” she inquired. “Maybe it’s the stress making you hear things.”I shook my head. “I don’t think so. I’m very sure that someone is following me.”“Who do you think it could be? Kyle’s still in jail, right?”“Yeah.”“Maybe Mrs. Rylland is having you followed. Maybe she found out about your little tryst with Jake.”I looked around the diner. None of the people inside it looked suspicious.
Ruin The Billionaire Crazy Ashley
Ashley’s POVOf course I was not pregnant. I had made some stupid decisions in my life, but I was not that stupid. I only lied to Jake out of boredom, to see what he would say. I needed an excuse to see him and possibly seduce him. Since I had slept with almost everyone in my circle, I needed fresh meat.The door opened and Richard Eyck walked in. He was a 60 year old real estate billionaire I had been in and off and on relationship with for some time. What I liked most about him was that he never cared how much of his money I spent, as long as I gave him what he wanted. The best thing was that he always finished so fast.“Hey baby,” he said.I faked a smile. In the past, age had never really mattered to me but after being with young and energetic Jake Rylland, older men did not seem fun anymore. I wanted someone like Jake. I wanted Jake.There were a lot of men who looked like Jake, and had the kind of money he did. Most of them were total jerks. But Jake was different. Sure, he coul
Ruin The Billionaire Kicking him out
Lilly.He looked so peaceful as he slept. He was perfect even in the morning when I looked like a ghost with a birds nest for hair. Jake, on the other hand, looked like an angel. But, he was far from it, and I had been full to let him in despite knowing that. He was the second worst male devil I knew, first being Kyle.I kept making the same stupid mistakes. But, I was done. No more. Reaching out, I shook Jake awake. He opened his eyes, and smiled when he saw me. “Good morning, baby.”“You need to leave now, Jake.”He frowned, sitting up. “What’s wrong?”“Just go. I can’t do this. I can’t pretend that everything is okay after what you did.”A few minutes after we broke up, he had gone off to Catalina Island with a woman that wasn’t me. If Jake thought I could act like that never happened, it meant he thought I was a total idiot. I was tired of being a fool for a man. “There are so many things I need to tell you. I can explain everything.”I shook my head, not wanting to hear it. “Ja
