Ruin The Billionaire Hospitalized
Lilly.“Kyle is here,” Leah whispered.“What?” I said, immediately starting to feel scared. “He’s two rows behind us,” she said.I waited for a minute before turning. My eyes met his. Instead of looking at the stand-up comedian on stage, he was staring at me. The familiar woman behind him was laughing hard at something the comedian had said. Leah’s held and squeezed my hand, giving me some reassurance. Kyle smiled at me and I turned back to face the front. My evening was already ruined. Even the funny lines the comedian kept dropping were no longer funny to me. I couldn’t wait for the show to be over so I could go far away from that jerk. Had he planned it? Did he find out that we were coming? I remembered telling him that I liked that comedian. He probably knew that if Justin Hayes was performing nearby, I wouldn’t miss. When the show finally got done, Leah and I were out within seconds.Most of the taxis had been taken by people who had come out first, those that had been seated

Lilly.“Good evening, miss.” Jake said to Leah who looked like she was about to faint. “Good evening, Mr. Rylland.” She managed to croak out.“Hello little miss,” Jake said, crouching down to Amy’s level. “Hi,” Amy said. “Are you my auntie’s boyfriend?”My face heated up when Amy asked the question.“Yes, I’m Jake Rylland, and I love your aunt very much. What is your name, little princess?”“Amy Whitmore,” she said.“You’re a lovely child,” he said while placing the flowers and a package on the table. I was smiling while watching him. Jake leaned over and kissed me although I probably smelt like medicine. “So sorry this happened to you, babe. How are you feeling now?”“My head feels a bit heavy but I’m lucky to be alive,” I said.“Do you have any idea who might have tried to this to you?” he asked.After what Hailey had said, I was now also suspicious of his mother. What if she had somehow found out that I was seeing her son? It was only a matter of time until she found out. As evil

Jake.Lilly’s near death experience changed everything for me. It reminded me of how short life is. I decided that the secrecy was over. I couldn’t keep my love under wraps anymore. It was time to let the world know I loved Lilith Hellman. To hell with my mother, the time had come for her to face the truth. I was not a child anymore, and I no longer needed her to fight my battles. i had grown and needed to stop calling her back to my side at every minor inconvenience. Lilly was in the hospital for two days. I visited her and it was reported to the media. I did not care. The media went into a frenzy, everyone trying to guess why I was visiting the woman who had been a thorn on my side a short while ago. Thankfully everyone who knew what the truth was did not reveal it. When she was discharged, she chose to go and recuperate from Leah’s house. I figured she chose to go there because she needed someone to take care of her. When I heard she was home, I immediately drove there. She seeme

Jake.“What is wrong with you, mother? How can you stoop so low as to blackmail your own son to do your bidding? What kind of mother are you?”“The kind that loves her son and wishes the best for him,” she said, taking her phone away. “From the start, Lilith Hellman’s motive was to destroy you. Even you knew it and that’s why you asked me to return home and help you. Because I loved you, I decided to come back and help. I did what I thought you wanted. You were happy that I got rid of that woman. I don’t know what happened, or how managed to fool you. Now you believe she is the good one and I’m the evil one. She wrote terrible articles about you, things that could lead you to being exposed to the whole world. I came and stopped that. I’m trying to separate you from someone who wants to destroy you. How sure are you that Hellman is actually in love with you and not trying to get close so she can get more information to publish? I have dealt with journalists longer than you, and I know
Ruin The Billionaire A great surprise
Jake.The birds were chirping and little rays of sunlight seeped through the curtains. I sat up and felt a mild ache on my back. It had been very long since I had slept that badly. After sacrificing the bed for Heather, I had no choice but to lie on the couch. I resented her so much I couldn’t be that close to her. It would lead to temptations that would have terrible effects. I had to let Heather know that I had moved on and had zero interest in her. If she thought we would end up getting back together, she was wrong. I stood up and went to the bedroom of the suite we were staying in because that was where the bathroom was.Clearly, she heard me coming because when I opened the door, she was seated on the bed, nude, and her big fake breasts showing. I didn’t feel anything so I just continued to the bathroom.“Good morning to you, too, grumpy.”I showered as fast as I could and left the bathroom. Heather watched me as I crossed the room and opened my suitcase. I searched through and f
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.

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

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
