༺RAYNE༻

I feel the living room spinning, my heart pounding a lot louder than the ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner and my own ragged breathing. My palms get sweaty and I gulp, clutching the hem of my nightdress.

This morning has turned into a surreal horror show and a reality check I wasn't prepared for.

Liam's eyes are still locked on me, his jaw tightening as he buries his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants. I wonder what he must be thinking now, what he must think of me.

Rather than thinking about how or when he began to suspect I was only acting, all I'm worrying about is if I've irreparably damaged our relationship. If he'll ever look at me the same way. If my foolish act was worth losing his trust. He must find me so pathetic now.

Without taking his gaze off me, Liam says to Andrea, “The rest of your payment will be wired to your account by the end of the day.“

Andrea's eyes light up and she smoothes her hair yet again. She has a habit of frequently smooth

    ༺RAYNE༻ We're having another family dinner at Lucas' estate. The old man doesn't seem to get tired of trying to bring us all together. These dinners are the only time this dysfunctional family resembles a normal one. Picture three grandsons who are always at each other's throats and a latest addition whom neither of them acknowledges as their cousin, all sitting and eating together, civil and courteous. But why do I feel tonight won't end as smoothly as Lucas hopes? “Rayne, my dear,” Lucas says, with a mouthful of his favourite truffle spaghetti. I snap up my head to look at him, taking in a fork of the pasta. “Is there any chance you and my grandson will be giving me a new great-grandchild soon?” A piece of pasta suddenly goes down the wrong pipe and I start coughing immensely, trying to get it out of the airway. I didn't expect Lucas to bring that up. Liam quickly pours me a glass of cool water and offers it to me. I drink it all in one gulp while his hand soothes my frayed n

    ༺RAYNE༻ Liam and I are currently on our way to yet another family gathering. Except this time, it's not an ordinary family dinner at Lucas' estate. We're on our way to the Maldives. Lucas bought an entire private island for an ultimate Everhart family vacation. There's an insane villa that's literally on the water. I've seen the pics and it's jaw-dropping. Apparently, we'll be spending the week there. My only problem is how the four heir apparents will survive a whole week without killing each other. They can't even make it through a single dinner without taking shots at each other. And they seem to love pushing Liam's buttons mostly. Before, it was Daniel who did it always, now Oscar has surprisingly become the new master of getting under his skin. But I won't let him cross that line without facing me. “We're here,” Liam announces, gesturing out the window at the breathtaking villa below. We came in his private helicopter. I nearly jump out of my seat when it touches down on th

  • The Billionaire Owns Me Now   Chapter 96: Genevieve's Back And So Are My Trust Issues

    ༺RAYNE༻ This is unbelievable! Genevieve and Daniel are getting married? Why? I doubt that crazy woman is marrying Daniel for love because it wasn't that long ago she was following my husband around like a dog and trying to cause a rift between us so she could have him back. And now, she's supposedly in love with Daniel? It's laughable. Genevieve's eyes were always set on Liam and the thought of her settling for his cousin is unimaginable. Unless... Unless she has an ulterior motive. That has to be it! This marriage thing doesn't add up. I bet she's only here with some hidden agenda. But what? Is this some sick ploy to get closer to Liam? Is she trying to worm her way back into Liam’s life somehow? It wouldn’t be the first time she’s tried to manipulate the situation to her advantage. And it isn't beyond Genevieve to scheme and plot to get Liam’s attention again. She'll even go as far as sleeping with his cousin and using him if it means getting closer to Liam again. And that Dan

    ༺RAYNE༻ Where the hell is that woman now? I grunt, walking briskly through the villa's neverending corridors, my slippers making soft whooshing sounds on the polished marble floor. My feet slide quickly across the cool floor, carrying me closer to my target. I scan the lounge and the gardens but there's no sign of her. I've been to her bedroom. I didn't find her there. I head over to the poolside and instantly, my eyes catch sight of the figure of Genevieve lounged on a sunbed. She's wearing a very thin two-piece bikini, her eyes hidden behind oversized sunglasses. What I intend to say to her or how I'm going to get the truth out of her, I don't know. All I know is her presence makes my blood boil. Since I'm aware of how much of a scheming witch Genevieve can be, I'm prepared for anything. Maybe I'm being irrational or maybe my emotions are clouding my judgement, I don't care. I know she's up to no good. I can feel it. After all, a woman in love can go to extreme lengths to get w

    ༺RAYNE༻ I'm so caught up with the heat brewing in me when we both hear Sabrina's voice. “Liam, you can let go of her now. She's breathing fine.” We lift up our heads to see the entire family—Lucas, Daniel, Sabrina, Leo, Oscar and even Genevieve, standing beside us, staring down at us. Sabrina has a deep smirk on her lips and her hands on her waist. “Liam, how did you go from saving her from drowning to to dry-humping her on the pool floor? Now, that's some seriously advanced lifesaving techniques.” She chuckles. My cheeks burn with embarrassment. We'd totally forgotten that we were outside and that we had an audience. Oh, I want to disappear right now. I want the floor to open up and pull me in. I'm so mortified to the point that I try to wriggle free. But, to my surprise, Liam doesn't let go. Instead he holds me tighter, his eyes boring into mine like he's telling me, “Stay still, I've got you” or “Let them see, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.” He's not even in the lea

  • The Billionaire Owns Me Now   Chapter 99: Can't Get Enough

    ༺LIAM༻ We started on the couch and now I have her bent forward, leaning against a table close to the window. For someone who almost drowned, she's got the stamina of a wildcat. I don't know where she gets it from but damn, I love it. We've been going at it for more than an hour and even after she's cum twice, she's still urging me to go faster. And I'll be damned if I don't. I love how she matches my hunger, how she takes everything I give her. My hands are holding her slim waist tight while I'm fucking her from behind, my fingers turning white and digging into her skin. Rayne loves it when I leave marks on her, she says it reminds her she's mine. And she very well is. This woman is a wild thing, my obsession and my addiction. I can't believe how much I missed the feeling of making love to her until I was balls-deep in her hot, gaping, soaked snatch. One thrust into her sweet wetness and I knew I was home. Her body welcomed me like a long-lost piece, fitting together perfectly. T

    ༺RAYNE༻ “She pushed you?” Liam's question comes in a stern, dangerously low voice. I nod, my mind wandering back to the ugly exchange I had with Genevieve that landed me in the pool. Agreed, I said some pretty nasty things to her, but she deserved it after everything she said about me and Liam. I don't regret what I did one bit and I'm sure she won't any sleep over the fact that she almost killed me. That bitch is too far gone. Liam straightens himself on top of me and pulls out every inch of his cock. My honeypot feels the sudden hollow sensation and aches for his return. I instinctively arch my back and thrust my hips forward, my lips pouting. “Liam,” I murmur, watching as he gets off the bed. “Where are you going?” He glances down at me, his face wrinkled with anger. “To have a word with Genevieve. She thinks she can hurt you and get away with it? Not on my watch.” An involuntary sharp intake of breath catches in my throat and leaves me lightheaded. This is unbelievable and.

    ༺RAYNE༻ “V-Vesper?” I don't know how he managed to bypass all of the security guards but I know one thing. This monster is here for revenge. The menacing smile on his scarred face says it all. Without wasting another second, I push the door with all my strength, hoping to slam it shut at him. However, he quickly wedges his foot between the door and the frame. He pushes the door back at me and enters the living room. Vesper instantly lands me a hard slap on my cheek. I yelp and fall on my face with a thud, my ear ringing from the slap. I quickly spin around on the floor, backing away from him as he takes slow steps towards me. “Hello, Mrs Everhart,” he utters in a voice that gives me the creeps. “You look lovelier than the last time I saw you, cowering in front of me.” I swallow the lump in my throat as I stare hard at him. He has multiple jagged scars crisscrossing his cheeks and forehead. His right eye is hidden behind a black leather eye patch, concealing what I assume to be a

    ༺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

    ༺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

    ༺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

    ༺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

    ༺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

    ༺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

    ༺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

    ༺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
