The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 36: Sweet Revenge
༺RAYNE༻ “There you go,” Kim chirps, “all done! Your sugar levels are looking much better today.” She smiles warmly as she puts the medical supplies back in her bag. “How are you feeling, sweetie? You seem a bit shaken.” “Is it that obvious?” I sigh and stare into space. I'm still thinking about everything that went down last night. How close I was to getting raped by that pig. How I barely managed to escape. It all feels surreal. What if I wasn't so lucky? That disgusting man would have really had his way with me. I cringe at the thought. “Rayne, darling, are you okay?” Kim says, putting a hand on my back. She caresses it and then runs a hand on my hair. I force a sweet smile and nod. “I'm fine, Kim. I think. I just...,“ I heave. “I just can't stop thinking about what happened last night.” “What happened, dear?” She takes a seat beside me on the long armchair. “Did something happen at the gala?” Right. I didn't tell her about it. I start spilling everything to her, not missi
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 37: When Dinner Turns To A Drunk Romp
༺RAYNE༻ “A surprise?” I peer at Liam, my curiosity piqued. What kind of surprise could he have prepared for me? Jonathan opens the door and Liam steps out of the car. With the door still being held open for me, I come out slowly. And that's when I see it. We're parked in front of the diner we drove past when we first came to Albany. Dine and Dance. “What's going on?” I glance at Liam. “Why have you brought me here?” “You wanted to come here, didn't you?” he says in a way that seems the words are heavy on his tongue. I blink at him. Since when did he care so much about what I want to do? This is so unlike him. “It wouldn't hurt to relax and unwind for a few hours before we go to the airport,” Liam says flatly. “Maybe this place will help take your mind off things.” He gestures towards the diner, like he’s trying to convince himself that it’s a good idea as much as he’s trying to convince me. I bet he's just trying to make me feel good. He's trying to make up for what happened
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 38: Barf Disaster
༺RAYNE༻ My breath is stuck in my throat when Liam finally unbuckles his belt. He takes out his cock and pushes his pants and briefs down his calves. I don't know where I get the strength from but I clutch his shirt and tug him to me. I send my lips crashing against his and kiss him wildly and Liam responds with equal ruthless aggression. No, his force and stamina aren't just equal, they're even more savage than mine, as if he's trying to prove a point. His tongue thrusts into my mouth, tasting me and claiming me, as though he can't get enough. It's almost like he's trying to devour me whole, kissing me like a caveman. I whimper against his lips and dig my nails into his back. The heat in my body intensifies. It's been too long since I was kissed and touched like this, way too long. Thanks to the alcohol, I'm getting rid of every inhibition and letting myself loose with Liam in between my legs. I'll definitely regret this tomorrow when I wake up with a hangover. But right now, I j
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 39: Rude Awakening
༺RAYNE༻ “Rayne dear, you're finally awake!” Kim's voice is the first thing I hear when I open my eyes. I groan a little and clutch my hair, feeling a throbbing pain in my head. I sit up and scan the room. I'm in my bedroom, back in New York. The last thing I remember is standing right outside the diner. How am I here now? “Kim,” I murmur and lean against the headboard. “What happened? How'd I get here? What time is it?” Kim sits on the edge of the bed and pours me a glass of water. “Here you go, dear. Have this first.” I take the water and drink it all in one gulp. I ask for another one and she gives it to me. I'm really feeling dehydrated like I haven't had water in days. When I've drunk enough, I repeat my questions. “You've been unconscious since last night after you had a severe hypoglycemic episode.“ Kim puts the glass down and looks at me tiredly. She has dark circles under her eyes. “What?” She nods. “You drank too much beer and it really messed with your blood sugar le
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 40: It's Not Easy Being Liam Everhart's Wife
༺RAYNE༻ After sitting at home for two days and getting bored out of my mind, Sabrina comes over to the house and insists on taking me to the beauty salon. Like hell, I would refuse. I don't really care if Liam thinks I'm not fit to be roaming around the streets of New York city. Those were his exact words. Like I actually walk aimlessly in the city. He's such a pain in the ass. Even when I tell him repeatedly that I'm fine and that Kim says I can go out now, he's not having it. He keeps treating me like I'm some kind of cancer patient. But I won't let him. “Where did you say we were going again?” I turn to Sabrina who's already glammed up as if we're heading to a fashion show. We're in her car and yes, Max is coming along with me. She takes off her diamond studded sunglasses. “We're going to Furioso, honey. The one and only place where New York’s elite wives go to get preened and primped. You're an Everhart now, you're practically royalty—you need a salon that recognizes that! At
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 41: Tick Tock, Trouble's Coming
༺RAYNE༻ I'm pacing back and forth in the living room, waiting for Liam to come home. I glance at the clock. It's almost 12 AM. I don't get it. He should've been home hours ago. Where could he be? And what's keeping him so long? I've dialled his number more times than I can actually count but my calls are being sent straight to voicemail. The last time Liam was out of reach like this was on our wedding day. I'm getting very anxious and impatient. My eyes keep darting between the clock and the wristwatch Genevieve handed to me. My heart clutches in pain. I don't know why I'm feeling overly emotional about what Genevieve said to me. I don't understand why I'm feeling betrayed but I am. I really need to see Liam right now and speak with him. He's going to answer my questions whether he likes it or not. He must tell me why and how his wristwatch ended up with his ex-girlfriend and explain to me what the hell she said. “And yes, do tell him the sex was wonderful.” Her voice is echoing
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 42: High Stakes
༺RAYNE༻ I'm all dolled up, ready to go to the auction. Liam's been ready for about an hour now but he's been on the phone ever since. He hasn't said a word to me since our argument last night. I feel like crap and I can't do anything about it. Why did I quickly believe what Genevieve said to me? And why did it get to me so much? I don't understand any of this. I'm still eager to know why Liam has been coming home very late. I've got a feeling that it has nothing to do with work. And I wouldn't think of asking him about it. It'll only piss him off and he'd definitely remind me how I've got no right to question him. So what do I do? I find Jonathan who's practically Liam's shadow now and get him to tell me what he knows. I drag him outside the house and to the front of the car we'd be riding into the auction. “Mrs Everhart, this is not right,” Jonathan says monotonously, his eyes darting between me and the door at the entrance. “I'm afraid I cannot tell you that. I'm under oath to
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 43: Bidding Wars
༺RAYNE༻ Who is that man? It seems I'm not the only one who has no idea who he is. Everyone else is wondering the same thing. Well, everyone except Liam. He seems to know him very well and he's glaring at him like he's his archnemesis. I look at the man nestled comfortably in his seat. He's a fine, toned man, with sleek jet-black hair, well-shaved chiselled chin and a fiery set of brown eyes. He's wearing a black tuxedo. His eyes catch mine and I glance away immediately. But I feel him still staring at me. The way he doubled up the bid like it was nothing... That's incredible. From $50 million to $100 million? Whoa! Are auctions usually like this? I've never been to one before. I've only read about them and seen them on TV. This feels like I'm in some kind of crazy power struggle straight out of a movie. This strange man is playing for keeps, doubling the bid like it’s no big deal. I’ve never seen anything like it. Liam still hasn't taken his eyes off him. The two of them lock hard

The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 135: A Heartfelt Return
༺RAYNE༻ Liam catches me from behind and wraps his big arms around me, his lips finding their way to my neck. My lips curve into a full smile and I lean back against him, my hand instinctively reaching up to hold his head. My heart does a triple flip, like a gymnast performing an impossible routine. It’s always been like this—this magnetic pull between us, the chemistry that could launch a thousand ships. He's really here. “Liam?” I breathe, not quite believing my eyes (or ears). I mean, how can this be? He's not back until two months from now. That's what he told me. But now, here he is, arms wrapped around me and smelling like home. He chuckles against my neck, his lips tickling the skin. “Surprise.” “Daddy!” Lucas squeals as if only just seeing him. Liam's arms tear away from me and spread out to our son as he leans down. Lucas jumps into his arms, giggling like a little maniac. Liam lifts him up and tosses him up a bit, making the kid laugh even harder. I just smile at the
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 134: Lucas Junior
༺RAYNE༻ FOUR YEARS LATER... “Lucas! Get down from the couch right now!” I shout, trying to catch my son's attention as he climbs and jumps around on the furniture in our living room. My little ball of energy is at it again. He acts like the house is his personal jungle gym, always trying to give me a heart attack with his death-defying antics. It's like he thinks he's part monkey. “No, Mummy! King of the mountain!” he booms, smiling and puffing his chest. “Lucas! You're going to break something, either the furniture or yourself! Get down, this instant!” I sprint across the living room, my feet pounding the marble floor. Lucas' loud giggles fills the room when he darts to the left, his brown hair bouncing with each jump. Just as I think I've got him cornered, he leaps on the coffee table and uses it as a springboard to launch himself on the floor. I swoop down, arms outstretched but he's too quick. He zigzags around the couch cushion, his grey eyes glinting. “Look, Mummy!” He's
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 133: Death's Door
༺LIAM༻ “You'll only get it over our dead bodies,” a voice booms from the shadows, making everyone snap their heads in that direction. Finally. They're here. Thanks to the distraction, I snatch the gun from the fucker who's supposed to keep me in check and point it at him. He staggers backwards, his hands up in surrender when I point it at him. “Took you long enough,” I say to none other than Daniel and Leo as they walk in. Both their heads are held high, shoulders straight and their faces contorted in rage. They take their places at my sides, flanking me. Sabrina's goons all aim at us, ready to fire but none of us are fazed. “Better late than never,” Daniel replies, his furious gaze darting between Sabrina and Oscar. “You turned out to be a bottom-feeding leech after all, Oscar, a worthless nobody, like I thought you were from the very first day I saw you. But I never would've thought that you were Sabrina's pussy-munching weasel, feeding off her cunt and her scraps just to kee
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 132: Hellhole
༺LIAM༻ “I'm here,” I rasp, holding my phone to my ear and staring at the papers in my hand. I've just gotten out of my car, now in front of a crumbling shithole of a building that's barely standing. It's the location I was given. It seems like a rat-infested dump with broken windows, rusty metal beams, and a door that looks like it hasn't been opened in years. There are overgrown weeds and trash around it, the perfect hideout for the sick fuck who's got my wife. I can't fucking believe that they'd bring Rayne to this shithole of a place. It makes my blood boil. The son of a bitch on the other end of the line, the same altered, robotic voice, chuckles and then replies, “Good. Now follow the lights inside. Walk straight, don't look around.” I do what I'm told. Not because I'm scared, but because they’ll harm Rayne if I don't. It's the only reason I'm not charging in and getting my wife out. It's the only reason I'm not burning this building down to the ground. And it's the sa
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 131: How Far Will He Go To Save Me?
༺RAYNE༻Fuck! My head hurts!That stupid bodyguard hit me hard on my cheek with his freaking sledgehammer of a fist. I fell and hit my head on the ground. I can swear I heard my own brain rattle against my skull.I'd kicked him in his groin while trying to get away and that's what earned me the slap that knocked me out cold. Thankfully, my baby is safe, or so I pray, since I don't feel any sharp pains.Opening my eyes, I realize that I've been brought to an unknown room with dingy walls and a single flickering light. I'm tied to a chair with ropes too thick and rough to slip out of.How long have I been out? And Liam! I know he's definitely looking for me right now. My heart squeezes painfully at the thought that I might not make it out of here alive. That I might never see him again.I'm scared for myself and for my baby. After seeing how Sabrina disrespected Lucas and after overhearing her and Oscar, I don't think she would think twice before getting rid of me. She might not even ba
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 130: A Desperate Hunt
༺LIAM༻ “We've searched the entire building, boss. We couldn't find her.” Another useless report. I drive my fist into the nearest wall and clench my teeth as I feel my knuckles burn from the impact. This is nothing though, compared to the pain of not being able to find my wife. And my unborn child. “What do you mean you couldn't find her?” I glare at the imbeciles in front of me. “She's in the goddamn hospital, not a fucking maze! How hard is it to track down one woman?” The men around me look down, avoiding eye contact like a bunch of fucking idiots. Useless, every last one of them. I don't even know why I bother wasting my time with these incompetent fools. “Get out of my sight!” I bark at them. Pacing like a caged animal, with my fists clenched and my hair ruffled, my mind is going all ape-shit with worry. I'm losing my mind, in fact! Everything was fine minutes ago. Rayne went back to my grandfather's room to get her purse while I answered a call from the office. I stayed
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 129: Unmasked
༺RAYNE༻ Lucas Everhart. The man who took Liam as his own and raised him to be the confident and successful man he is today. That same man is actually my grandfather, my only living blood relative. It still sounds unbelievable. I'm sitting beside him, holding his hand in mine and watching his chest gently expand and contract. The hospital monitors are tracking his every heartbeat. There are so many tubes and wires attached to him. The sight is heart-wrenching. “I just found you,” my voice breaks in a fragile whisper, “please don't leave me now. You can't.” This man has been kind to me since day one and now that I know I'm his granddaughter, I feel a deep connection to him. But Lucas... He's always felt that kind of connection to me. It's like he sensed it all along. Even Liam was stunned by how Lucas treated me. I still remember the old man's reaction the very first time he laid his eyes on me. He froze, wide-eyed and dropped his cane. Then he told me I looked familiar and asked
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 128: Bloodlines
༺RAYNE༻ “Do you remember what Dr Gareth said about your HLA compatibility with Grandfather?” Liam asks, after keeping me in suspense for almost a minute. I nod and muse, “Yes, he said I was an exact match, 10/10 HLA compatibility, which is extremely rare, especially since we're not biologically related.” That's exactly how the doctor said it. But I don't understand why Liam's suddenly interested in that. Could it be that the doctors made a mistake and the transplant wasn't successful, like we all thought and Lucas' condition is worsening? Oh God! “What has that got to do with what you're about to tell me, Liam? Did the doctors find something abnormal in the tests they ran after the transplant, something that changes everything?” That has to be the only explanation. It's Liam's turn to nod. “Yes but it's not what you think. It's a lot more complicated. I don't even know how it's fucking possible.” He sighs and clasps both of his hands around mine. “Rayne, you're not who you thin
The Billionaire Owns Me Now Chapter 127: A Miracle Match
༺RAYNE༻ “Well, Doctor? What does it say?” My anxiety is killing me. Despite Liam's refusal and the doctor's warnings, I got tested for the bone marrow transplant. The results are out, apparently and Dr Gareth has been frozen since he summoned us all. “Are you going to speak or not?” Liam's impatient, angry voice snaps, making Dr Gareth almost jump. “Come on, doc, spill it already!” The doctor lifts his eyes from the reports and stares at me. “Ma'am, the results indicate that you are a match.” A loud gasp tears out of my lips. Even though I hoped I'd be a match, it's so hard to believe it. I'm an actual match! Liam's eyes are too wide, he's having a harder time believing it. And the same goes for the rest of the family. None of them can process it either—they're all stuck in shock, staring at me like I'm the miracle they never thought would happen. And I am. “Did you just say that my wife is a match?” Liam's face crumples. Dr Gareth nods in astonishment. “Yes, that's right. And
