The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Seven: Shocked
Jian’s POVThe moment she opened the door, I heard the almost silent creak but I decided to keep my eyes shut and listen to what she’d do. I listened as she creeped into the room, breathing heavily and the urge to open my eyes and let her know I could see her and to even demand what she was doing in my bedroom at this time of the night, was strong but I pressed it down and decided to let my senses lead me. How I knew it was her? Easy!She must have had no idea that the guard that had been around that day was only there to escort me to a function, and Greta isn’t a live-in maid. My home is well secured. So, it was just the two of us.For a moment, I didn’t hear any sounds except the faint smell of her body wash sailing into my nostril but then I felt the shadow cast over my face, blocking the soft glow of the lamp sitting on the nightstand. At this moment, I knew I had to open my eyes but I wasn’t prepared for what I saw. She was standing over me, a butter knife raised above her wit
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Eight: Memories
Rose’s POV…The faint whispering of voices sailed into my ears, waking me up from my light slumber. My eyes slowly opened to see I was still in the confined space of the van, but it was no longer moving. This realization had me quickly sitting up as it dawned on me that they’d arrived at their destination. It meant I was at the Don’s home, and soon I’d be facing my fate. A cold shiver racked my entire body, making goosebumps break out of my skin. I exhaled a shaky breath and tried to stretch my aching limbs while my heart raced with trepidation, as different thoughts of what would soon become of me crowded my mind. I was still lost in my head and the fear threatening to eat me up when I heard the almost silent thuds of footsteps beside the van.“Is she still out?” the gravelly voice I’d heard from earlier on sailed into my ears. “Good, it would make this easier. I’ve spoken to their boss and his men would be out in a minute,”Eerie silence ensured for a moment before another strange m
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Nine: A Game
Rose’s POVI kept staring into his gleaming eyes, my heart racing wildly at the thoughts of what he had in store for me. As though he was immune to the thick waves of fear rolling off me, his eyes roamed my entire being, slowly drifting from my eyes, down to my neck, down to the v-plunge of the robe. It felt as though he was meticulously undressing me with his eyes and it had me squirming underneath his hot gaze. A thrill suddenly ran down my spine and my body shivered when his eyes finally made it back to mine before staring past, to the glass of drink still sitting on the counter. Lost in his presence, I’d forgotten he’d caught me helping myself to a drink in his liquor cabinet.“A good choice,” he murmured, nodding to the half-filled bottle of whiskey. “Would set the pace for the night,” He smirked and my heart dropped further.The urge to know what he was going to do to me, had me drawing in a shaky breath as I finally summoned the courage to ask him.“W-what would you do to me?”
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Ten: A new plan
Rose’s POVMy eyes caught onto the soft rays of sunlight streaming into the bedroom as I began to wake from my sleep. Memories of the previous night were the first thing that flooded my brain, especially the images of Jian taking me to bed. Instantly, I shot up to a sitting position and stared down at myself to see I was still clothed in the robe and nothing seemed to be out of place. With this reassurance, I drew in a deep breath to calm my palpitating heart as I moved to rest my back on the headboard.Jian. His name popped into my head again and I found myself smiling. It was a nice name, fitting for his good looks. I had the urge to say it out loud just to know how it’ll sound rolling off my tongue and I did.“Jian,”As if the name was a secret memory unlock, my thoughts traveled to our little game and how freely he’d been around me, dropping his mask to show me his calm and carefree side. It had made me relax and made me feel like he was a handsome stranger I’d just met at a bar
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Eleven: Friendly Advice
Rose’s POV“No,”That simple response said in a firm voice was like a hot spike to my heart but instead of hitting me with pain, it brought disappointment and anger towards the housekeeper.“You can’t say that, you have to help me,” I went on, moving closer to her but she actively ignored me, keeping her attention on the dishes she was cleaning with a calm expression on her face. When I saw that my antics weren’t working on her, I let my anger fully take over. I’d approached her, hoping she’d understand my predicament as a fellow woman and help me get out of the house but she’d outrightly refused even before hearing me out.“I see you’re no better than your master. All you care about is your paycheck and you have no empathy or feelings of sympathy within you. You’re an accomplice to kidnap and sexual harassment and you deserve to be in jail for the rest of your miserable life, and I’d make sure you rot in hell if I eventually get out of here,” I said with gritted teeth and I turned to
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Twelve: Negotiation
Rose’s POVLater that evening, I waited until after dinner, when Greta had left to make my move. Jian was in his home office just like every other night I’ve been here. I approached the office door and slightly knocked on it, ready to put on my act. Throughout the day while I was home, I’d thought about this decision carefully and I realized I couldn’t sell myself out to a stranger. I couldn’t tell him the truth. So I cooked up a believable story that would get me the sympathy I need while painting me as a saint.I knocked for the second time before he finally responded, asking me to go in. I got in to see him seated behind his desk with a file open before him. His eyes met mine the moment I stepped into the room.“Hi, I’m sorry to disrupt you,” I stated, approaching the desk.“It’s no problem. Take a seat,” I did without hesitation. “Are you here to keep me company because you’re bored?” He smirked and I rolled my eyes. “That’ll get you punished, Rosie,”The urge to roll my eyes agai
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirteen: Lesson One
Rose‘s POV “Ready to begin?” “W-what?” His words caught me off guard as I wasn’t expecting him to start immediately. “If you’re ready we'll start our first lesson now,” He said, staring at me intently. “Umm…” I blinked, unsure of what to say. My eyes met his intent gaze and I knew I had to accept. I had to make him believe that I was ready to work towards getting better and getting rid of my anxiety. “I'm ready,” I finally responded in a barely audible voice while wondering what he had in mind for our first session. “We don’t have to start today if you are not comfortable with it,” I knew he was trying to be nice to me but I didn’t let his words fool me. I needed him to completely believe my act and the only way to do that was to make him believe that I was truly eager to dispose of my fear and be more open to having relations with men. “I’m ready. I don’t want to continue this way anymore,” “Good,” I heard the hint of praise in his voice as though he was proud of his decision
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Fourteen: Chinese lessons
Rose’s POVThe warm water from the shower nozzles cascaded over me, and with its warmth came the memories of the previous night spent in the arms of Jian. After the session in his office, he’d carried me to my bedroom and prepared a warm bath for me to soak in. I thought that would be the end of it but he proceeded to clean me up and get me ready for bed, even tucking me in and kissing me on my forehead before retiring to his bedroom. The man literally took the word ‘aftercare’ to great heights and it was something I hadn’t expected, considering the conclusions I’d drawn about him.I let my mind drift to how he’d changed my perspective of him over the past few days, beginning from the night he’d caught me having a little time of my own at the liquor cabinet. Who knew we’d go from trying to break each other into settling for peace? But as soon as these thoughts crossed my mind, I frowned slightly, realizing that I was already deviating from the real intentions behind my plans and I was

The Billionaire’s Captive Author's Note
SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2023 Hello, lovelies, thank you for giving my book a chance and for sticking with me all through the months I couldn’t update due to personal reasons. Rosie and Jian’s story has finally come to an end and so has the series, The Ruthless Billionaires. While I’m excited for this end, I’ll miss the characters greatly but I have the thoughts of writing a sequel that’ll be named after the series, THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRES. This sequel will tell the love story of Romeo Torelli and Samantha Davis and also Sylvia Lancaster and Clifford Davidson and how it all started. If you’d be interested in reading this, please leave a comment below as your responses will spur me on, but if I get no response or a low outcome, I will end the series with this book and there will be no sequel.

The Billionaire’s Captive Epilogue: A fresh start
_Six months later_Rosie stared at her reflection in the mirror and did a little twirl, with a bright smile on her face. She was dressed in a bright red sleeveless midi-dress that hugged her figure, accentuating her hips and petite curves. Her dark hair was styled into waves, flowing down her shoulder and her makeup was done to the minimal in soft pastel shades that made her soft brown eyes pop. Black Saint Laurent sandal heels adorned her feet, with a black clutch and the sparkling diamond necklace and teardrop earrings she had on put the finishing touches to her elegant look.She was dressed to go on her first formal romantic date with Jian and she was excited. He was coming to pick her up from her campus apartment. She’s been dreaming of this date for the past three months, from the moment she returned to school to finish her last semester and get her degree. And the day was finally here. She’d written her last exam that day and had immediately rushed home to begin preparations for
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Sixty-seven: One family
Rosie’s POVI stretched my limbs across the bed, and they landed on the cold spot where Jian’s body was supposed to be. Immediately, my eyes shot open and I stared at his spot to see it was empty and I was all alone in bed. At first, my heart skipped a beat but I tried to calm my nerves as I gathered the strength to rise to a sitting position. The sun was up, casting its rays into the room from the opened window. My gaze strayed to the bedside clock to see it was past 10 a.m., yet I made no move to get out of bed. Instead, I glanced around for any indication that Jian was at home.I couldn’t control how I felt when I woke up and thought he’d left me. It was the first thing that registered in my head but I told myself he wouldn’t leave me, and he may just be in his office getting some work done. I remained seated in bed, and a yawn slipped from my lips at the same time as my stomach rumbled from hunger. The last time I had anything to eat was at the hospital. The previous night had be
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Sixty-six: Heartache
Rosie’s POV“Where is Greta?” I asked again, when he remained quiet. This time, he exhaled and stepped back from me. A frown marred my face as I stared at him in confusion, waiting for a response. He was acting strange and it was worrisome. Initially, he’d said she didn’t work in his home anymore but why couldn’t he just tell me where she now works? “Why did she leave and where has she gone to?” I took a step towards him and touched his arm. This time, he moved closer and held my shoulders. His eyes met mine and I saw an expression I didn’t recognize etched on his face. It was like a mix of anger and remorse.“Come, sit,” he gently pushed me back until I sat on the sofa behind me and he took his seat next to me.“Jian…” I was getting agitated from the way he was acting and he could see it.“I’ll tell you everything, I promise but I don’t think you’re ready to hear it, Rosie. I don’t want to spoil your mood,”“I can’t deal with the anxiety. Please tell me, what happened?” Again, he dr
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Sixty-five: A new life
Rosie’s POVThe silence that surrounded me as I slowly began to regain consciousness was serene. I couldn’t recall the last time I’d experienced such a feeling. Slowly, my eyes snapped open and they were met with the pristine white ceilings. For a minute, I kept staring at the ceiling but then from my peripheral vision, my eyes caught the silhouette of a body. Without hesitation, I turned to see it was Jian. He was seated on the only available chair in the room, and his head was buried in his palms. I couldn’t see his face on the expression on it but his pose screamed of worry.At that moment, I tried to sit up but then I felt a pull from the needle of the IV that was attached to my arm and it suddenly dawned on me that I was in a hospital room. All thoughts to call Jian’s attention suddenly fled from me as I tried to recall how I’d ended up here but it didn’t take long for all of the memories to start flooding me.I remembered it all. Ling lying on the bare concrete floor with a bull
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Sixty-four: The end
Rosie’s POVI wiggled against the cold floor just to try to get comfortable. I had no idea how long it had been since I was brought here. All I knew was that their plans were in motion and my execution was getting nearer with each passing minute. I knew no one was coming for me. My only hope that Jian would come had died after seeing those pictures of him and Ling. I did not doubt that she’d managed to manipulate him into feeling pity for her. Since the last time she was here to reveal everything to me, she’s not been back. She mentioned going on a vacation and I didn’t doubt that Jian was with her. After all, I meant nothing to him. I was a liar and a deceiver who he’d tried to be nice to out of sympathy and in the end, I didn’t care enough to tell him the truth. I knew he detested me, and hence, it’d have been very easy for him to get over me the moment I was out of his home.He was the last person I had on my side. Now, I was all alone. My mom was busy paying for her sins in a nurs
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Sixty-three: The mastermind
Jian’s POVI arrived in Beijing the next evening, following the Don’s words. After Lina’s death, the news of Rosie’s disappearance was suddenly everywhere, and it was linked to Lina’s arrest. How it got released to the media, I had no idea. It was as if everything was a grand plan and we were playing into the hands of whoever this mastermind was.How Lina had died was yet to be explained. All the police had was a sniper had been hired to take her out, but they had no identity of the one responsible or who even hired the said sniper to kill her. At this point, everyone was a suspect in my head. I couldn’t stop wondering if it was Sylvia at work. From what I’d come to know of the woman, she was a very dangerous woman and had connections in high places. I wouldn’t be surprised to know that she killed Lina for coming after her daughter, but why would she do that, when Rosie was yet to be found?It didn’t make sense to me, and I was still trying to understand what the Don meant by there’s
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Sixty-two: No case
Jian’s POV“Since when has this been going on?” Lara’s voice sailed into my ears from the phone and I sighed deeply. The news of Lina’s arrest made it to the media and it was now everywhere. There were lots of speculations about it as the major reason for her arrest wasn’t publicly disclosed but it was only known that she was arrested in the process of her final divorce hearing. Only our immediate family members were aware of what was going on. My dad had called to confirm the news, and now it was my younger sister, Lara on the phone.“It's been on for the past three months,”“Oh wow, that’s such a long time. I never expected such from Lina. She was always so nice and cheerful, and I know the news of Clifford’s affair with his assistant must have been very difficult for her but it’s not enough for her to change. I mean, I’m not a saint myself but, she went too far,”She was right to say that. Lara had done her fair share of evil in the past but it was swept under the carpet as it was
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Sixty-one: Solving the puzzle
Jian’s POV“Check your mail. You’ve got all the evidence you need there, and as for a witness, there’ll be one in court tomorrow. Make sure you’re there by 9. It’s the final divorce hearing and your last chance.” the Don’s voice sailed into my ears before the call ended. I dropped my phone and drew in a deep breath that I exhaled almost immediately before rising to my feet to head out to the mailbox. It was almost 10 pm and it was my third day in New York. After Don Torelli contacted me on the night of the day I met with Williams, I told him all I knew about the case and Rosie’s abduction. He assured me to stay calm and that he’d take it from there, as the video evidence I’d handed over to him had helped trace the genesis of this issue and now, he’d called to inform me that he’d been able to gather the evidence I needed to nail Lina Davidson, and according to him, the final divorce hearing between her and her husband, Clifford, was the next morning.I did not doubt that Lina would be
