THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 63. THE INTERROGATION
~ASH Cole didn't waste any time in producing an handcuff, and I was amazed at how fast he was at grabbing the man while his victimstruggled against his hold in total confusion. We watched as he handcuffed the man after saying whatever he had to say to bring him inside, and waited with anticipation for our detective and the man with a scar. Cole half dragged, half walked the man inside, and as soon as the door locked behind them, he whirled around to face the man. Before Cole could speak, however, the senior officer cleared his throat. “Hold your tongue, Cole,” the senior officer glared at him who promtly held his tongue. “Matthew? Check if this man has any criminal record,” he ordered the tech guy. The hooded man, who was watching us with a great deal of fear and wariness, immediately became alarmed. “Oh man. This is not good. Not good at all,” Mathew murmured and like moths to flame, we all crowded around him. Yeah. This hooded guy was in a whole lot of troub
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 64. THE STUBBORN FIGHTER
~RUBY I opened my eyes and the first thing that struck me was the wrongness of it all. My body felt wrong. I felt slow and sluggish, like I was dragging myself through mud just to move. I've only ever felt this way when I come in touch with something. A flower. Chrysanthemums. Damnit. After managing to sit up, I found a very puffy eyed Ella dozing on a chair beside my bed. I reached out to touch her. “Ella,” my voice was hoarse and her eyes flew open, settling on me immediately. “Thank goodness. You're awake,” her voice was scratchy, like she had been crying for long hours and my mind immediately flashed back to what happened when we got back from father's company. Ah. Right. The flowers. Chrysanthemums. I narrowed my eyes. Mr. A. That bastard. He must have done this. “Hey. Babe. You look terrible. You shouldn't have cried, my love. This is not my first time dealing with a chrysanthemum attack,” I smiled and she sniffed. “How do you
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 65. WHO?
~RUBY Ash walked to the door wordlessly, and we all waited patiently to know who was behind it. When the door came open, the voice that floated into the room was familiar, but I could not place who it was until Ash stood at the doorway, resuming his former position, and the lawyer walked in. “Richard? It's you, did something come up?” Ethan asked and Mr. Richard smiled. “I just came here to chec on Ruby. I heard what happened,” he sounded sincere, too sincere, that it had me feeling slightly uncomfortable. Ella glared at him. “This late though? You could not have come to check up on her tomorrow? It's past ten pm, Mister,” Ella shook her head with disapproval and I frowned. Ella was right. He could have waited till tomorrow. “Easy, Richard is more like family now. He's worked for us since I was a child. He truly cares,” Ethan cut in. But I frowned slightly because I still found it strange. Why would he insist on checking up on me by this time of the day? W
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 66. THE MODEL
~RUBY Several days passed, and the tension between us all died down. Immediately after the chrysanthemums incident, everyone walked on egg shells around me, like they were protecting me and still checking to see if I was doing anything suspicious. They should not have bothered, my plan had a solid foundation, and no one would know if I was doing anything. When they saw that all I seemed to be doing was sleep, eat, and play games on my phone, they relaxed. Of course they would. “After all, Ruby listens so well to words of advice,” I thought to myself. It was a weekday, and Ethan had left for work. Our lovemaking had been the sweet and slow kind, none of the dominant and lights out stuff we used to experiment with sometimes. Ella was back to being her insufferable self, teasing me relentlessly about the sounds I was always unable to stop making whenever I locked myself in the room with Ethan. I teased her mercilessly, too, since there was a new variable in her l
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 67. IN BETWEEN THE TWO
~RUBY Ash kissed me. I didn't know what I was expecting when he leaned over, but I definitely was not expecting him to kiss me. I froze for what seemed like hours but was only a few seconds. Again, I was hit with that feeling of Deja Vu. We had only kissed once on that night I wanted to forget badly— but it was still feeling like we had kissed so many times and I could not stop craving him. Ash groaned against my lips and I lost it. I leaned in, let my muscles relax, and kissed him back. His lips were velvety soft, and they tasted exclusively like he did last time. It was sweet. It was heady. It was sexy. It was…what I wanted. I kissed him back with everything in me, his hands snaking around my waist to drag me unto his lap. I dragged my hands through his hair, my mouth swallowing his gasp as I threaded my fingers in his hair. He gripped my ass, and ground against me. The friction made me freeze for a moment, before I groaned, and started moving against him.
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 68. ONE LAST TIME
~ASH I didn't look back as I drove away, my heart still pounding from the intensity of the kiss. I should not have kissed her, damnit. I should have ignored her all the way home. I should not have looked at her. But she kept asking me and her voice…that damned voice did things to me. It didn't help that she was angry too, her anger fueling the desire simmering beneath my veins. But I should not have kissed her. I could have gotten drunk on her taste. That sweet, intoxicating taste. I would have stayed there and let her kiss me to death. I should not have kissed her. I had been doing so well keeping a distance from her, since I realized I was madly in love with her. But today…she was so close. Too close. I lost control. And it didn't help that she kissed me back. My fireball kissed like the world was ending, like I was her last act of humanity. She kissed me like she meant it. I knew it was a mistake, she was just caught in the passion. But a part of me
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 69. SURPRISE SURPRISE
~ASH I gasped in shock at Ruby's unconscious form. “Ruby? Ruby?” I called quietly, not wanting to wake up her husband by mistake. I was already thinking of ways, strategies to explain this to her without scaring her away or sounding weird, but it was nearly impossible. Where the hell do I even start from? I crawled over to her and shook her slightly, her naked breasts jiggling and trying to draw my attention. But this was no time to be consumed by desire. I needed her to wake up. “Ruby? Ruby. Damnit. Stop scaring me and just wake up. It's not what you think it is.” It is exactly what you think it is. She didn't stir, her body limp and unresponsive. Oh goodness. What if… I ran to the bathroom and flung the door open, cupping water with my hands. It did no good though. The water dripped all over the floor before I got to the bed. I cursed as I carried her to the bathroom, setting her gently on the bathroom floor. Sprinkling water on her face, I
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 70. HOT MESS
~RUBY I opened my eyes, queasiness rolling in my stomach. I flinched as light filtered across my face, my eyes must have been closed for a while. I tried raising my arms to shield my eyes from the piercing light, when a silhouette appeared before me, effectively shielding my eyes from the burst of light. I squinted, trying to see who was standing before me, and was relieved to see that it was Ethan. My relief turned to confusion though, when I saw a very wide and unbelievably happy grin on his face. Since we got married, I had never seen a smile that wide on my husband's face. Worse, he kept looking at me with an almost too tender look that made me feel slightly uncomfortable. “My darling,” he crooned and I almost held back my groan. I was still feeling queasy, and I really did not need my sweet husband to act like a lovesick puppy at the moment. I tried sitting up, and he helped, his eyes never leaving mine. The bed was strong and sturdy…but it felt different.
