The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Feeling Betrayed
Ruby’s POVI barely remembered the drive back to Ariana’s place. My mind was a mess filler with everything Rosalie had said, everything I’d seen on her laptop. My chest felt hollow and my throat felt raw, even though I hadn't cried yet.As soon as I stepped inside, Ariana walked out from the kitchen with a large spoon in her hand. “Ruby? What happened?”I shook my head, swallowing against the lump in my throat. “I just need some time alone.” She took a step forward. “Ruby, talk to me....”“Not now, Ari.” I gasped as I felt the tears coming. “Please.”Something in my face must have stopped her from pressing further. She sighed, stepping back as I walked past her. The room door clicked shut behind me, and I leaned against it for a second, squeezing my eyes shut. I needed to breathe and I needed to think, but every time I did, Dominic’s face swam in my mind. I remembered the way he’d looked at me, touched me, whispered promises into my skin, all while hiding this big secret from me.Wha

Ruby’s POV"Ari, are you sure about this?" I yelled over the booming sound that surrounded us in the club. "I think I just want to go back to the hotel!"Ariana turned to me, a slightly dazed look in her eyes. "What? Oh, no, you won't you're here to forget about your troubles."I glanced around nervously. I wasn't sure I'd be doing a lot of forgetting in here. The club was filled with more gyrating, drunken people than my brain could keep up with. The swirling lights and tobacco smoke emanating from all corners was too much for me to handle as well. My vision was beginning to turn, and we'd only spent nothing more than ten minutes here.Ariana made an impatient sound and grabbed my hand, weaving us through the crowd like she owned the place.“Two shots,” she told the bartender, then turned to me. “Don’t argue.”I sighed but took the shot glass she shoved into my hand. The tequila burned down my throat, making me wince. Ariana grinned.“There she is,” she teased. “Now, let’s find you a

Ruby’s POVI was alive... barely.Pain pulsed behind my eyes as I forced them open. The world around me was very blurry, shapes shifting in and out of focus. My body felt heavy, my limbs sluggish, my head thick like it had been lathered with honey. I tried to sit up, but the second I moved, nausea curled around my stomach.I retched and spat on the ground. A groan slipped past my lips as I fell back down. Then I inhaled slowly, willing my senses to return.The air smelled like old cigarettes and male sweat.... or was that my body? There was no way to tell. The couch under me was lumpy and the fabric rough against the bare skin of my thighs. I pushed myself upright, blinking hard. That’s when I really saw where I was.The living room I was in was nothing short of disgusting. The single lamp in the corner barely brightened the room. The couches were peeling, their stuffing poking out in jagged clumps. Cigarette butts and ash filled a glass tray on the coffee table. The ceiling was water

Ruby’s POVThe moment Gabriel mentioned the key, my hand shot up to my throat, but my fingers met bare skin.The pendant was gone.A cold wave of alarm rushed through me, but I forced myself to keep calm. If Gabriel had taken it, then maybe he didn’t realize what was inside.Gabriel’s sharp eyes didn’t miss a thing. He snorted and slipped a hand into his pocket. “Looking for this?”He pulled out my pendant and dangled it between two fingers, letting it sway back and forth like it was nothing more than a cheap trinket.“This little thing,” he mused, tilting his head as he looked at the pendant. “Did you know it’s a DanCliffe heirloom?”What?“I did some digging,” he continued. “It turns out that something like this could go for at least thirty grand. Not bad for a necklace, don't you think?”I barely heard him. It was an heirloom?I had no idea. I knew it had been in my family for generations, but I never thought about it beyond the fact that it was mine. Just a simple pendant my fathe

Ruby’s POV I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Ambrose? Here? What the hell was he doing here? Gabriel strolled inside and tossed some paper bags onto the table. The greasy scent of fried chicken filled the air. He dusted off his hands and turned to me with a grin. “If you’re hungry, dig in.” He said. "There's enough to go round, courtesy of Ambrose." I ignored him. My eyes were still locked on Ambrose. He stood near the door with his hands in his pockets, watching Gabriel calmly as he laid the food on the table, like this was just another casual meeting, like he hadn’t just walked into the room and shocked me to my wits. He looked so at home here. I knew this wasn't his first time of visiting Gabriel in the trailer. I narrowed my eyes at him. “What are you doing here?” Ambrose caught my stare and smiled wider. “Relax, Ruby. I’m only here to get one thing from you. You don’t have to worry about me hurting you unless you do something very stupid.” His voice was smooth and cal

Ruby’s POVGabriel howled.His blood sprayed across the couch, spattered on the floor and soaked through my shirt. He staggered back, gripping the knife lodged deep in his shoulder, his face twisting in rage and pain."You bitch!" he roared. His knees buckled, but he caught himself, panting through clenched teeth. "I’m going to kill you, I swear to God!"I didn’t wait to see if he meant what he said. I ran for the door, yanked on the handle. It was still locked.“No, no, no,” I whispered, jerking the knob with both hands. My heart slammed against my ribs. I banged my fists against the door. “Help! Somebody help me, fuck!'But nothing happened.I screamed again, but my voice felt small, swallowed by the silence outside. No one came. No one was coming.Still, I kept pounding the door until my palms stung and my fingers felt like raw meat. My panting turned into ragged sobs. I leaned against the door and my body slid to the floor, shoulders shaking as tears streaked my face.How had my l

Ruby's POVThe moment the hot knife touched my thigh, a scream escaped my throat. My back arched against the chair and every muscle seized with agony. The ropes cut deeper into my wrists as I thrashed, trying to jerk away, but there was nowhere to go. The plastic chair rattled against the floor, scraping loudly.Ambrose didn’t even flinch. He kept on pressing the blade against my skin as the scent of burning flesh filled the air. His face was blank, detached. Like he was watching a fire burn instead of causing the pain himself.“Where is the key, Ruby?” His voice was patient.I sobbed through clenched teeth, my body jerking violently. “Go to hell!”He sighed. “Wrong answer again.”The knife stayed on my skin for another second before he finally pulled it away. My thigh pulsed, the searing pain digging into my bones. Sweat dripped down my temples. I was panting unevenly.Then with every bit of fury left in me, I spat in his face.Ambrose went still. A bead of my spit dripped from his c

My head lolled and it felt heavy and useless. My limbs wouldn’t move no matter how hard I tried.A low and calm voice murmured something close to my ear. “You’re going to be fine, Ruby. The ambulance is almost here.”Then I heard sirens. Loud, piercing, disturbing. They cleared through the fog in my head. My stomach lurched as I was lifted, carried and placed onto something firm. Cold air rushed past my face.Then I saw a blinding light. My eyes fluttered, but everything blurred together. I saw faces, felt movement, heard the soft hum of voices. Someone was talking. I tried to focus, but the words drifted away. Then, I saw and felt and heard nothing again.It was all silence.When I blinked awake again, the world was still and quiet. There were no more sirens and no more voices. But I was no longer in Gabriel'

The Billionaire's Daring Kitten A Man Has To Survive
Dominic's POVI slipped my hands into my pockets, watching the two bastards kneeling before me. Gabriel’s mouth was bloody but he still had enough energy to glare at me like he wanted to rip my throat out. Ambrose on the other hand just looked annoyed, like this whole thing was beneath him as a person.I stared at them in silence before I finally spoke. “Why’d you do it, Ambrose?” My voice was calm, but I was far from it. “Why send someone to kill me? Why take Rachael away?”Ambrose chuckled, shaking his head like I was the one being ridiculous. “Because I got her first,” he said. “We were together long before you came along. We grew up together. We were supposed to be together. And then you waltzed in and took her from me.”I snorted, shaking my head. “You never loved her.”He glared at me. "And you cannot prove that.”“You only wanted her because of her family.” I tilted my head. “Rachael was the governor’s daughter. The golden ticket.”Ambrose’s expression didn’t change, but I knew
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Time To Right Every Wrong
Dominic's POVI sat in my car, staring at the dashboard with my hands resting loosely on the wheel. The street outside was quiet. No movement, just the dull hum of the city in the distance. My men had called earlier to tell me that Ambrose and Gabriel were in custody.Now I was parked in front of the Basement.I breathed in and out slowly, gripping the steering wheel tighter. My thoughts drifted unwillingly to Ruby. Her eyes had been cold the last time I saw her after she was discharged. The way she had looked at me, the way she had kept her distance, as if she didn’t know me at all. It hurt me so much.Trust was what she valued most, I understood that now. She wanted a life without secrets. I should have known that about her from the very start. Her father had been a man of secrets, a man who kept the truth buried under lies. She hated that. She wanted honesty. And yet, I had hurt her the same way her father hurt her.I groaned, resisting the urge to slam my fist into the dashboard.
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Fished Out
Ambrose's POVI sat on the edge of the hotel bed, watching as the nurse wiped the blood from my arm. The sting barely registered. I’d been shot before. Pain meant nothing. Pain was temporary, but winning was permanent.What did matter was what I’d seen that day in the trailer. The bastard who stormed in to save Ruby was Damien, Thorne’s firstborn son. Eleven years had passed, but I recognized him the second I saw his face.My fingers curled into a fist as the nurse dabbed iodine onto the wound. Thorne’s wife and son were supposed to be gone. When Thorne divorced Eleanor, I’d counted on them disappearing for good. I had even hoped they were dead.And yet here Damien was, standing once again between me and what I wanted.The key was still missing. If Ruby had lied about Gabriel having it, then I was running out of time.Ruby alone, I could break. She thought she was strong, but I knew better. I’d built her for eleven years, twisted her into something useful, and when I was done with her
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Love Is Messy
Ruby’s POV"Ruby, please!" Dominic got up as I stood from my kitchen stool. He made a move towards me, but Damien's hand shot out, stopping him."Stay away from my sister!" He growled.I turned and walked out of the kitchen, not bothering to stop and see if they were following me. I crossed the living room, towards my bedroom and closed the door behind me.I pressed my back against the cold wood. My chest felt like it was being weighed down with a hundred large stones. I willed myself to stay calm, but my hands were already shaking.Through the door, I listened to Dominic as he ordered his daughter. "Ariel, go to the car.”“I don’t want to,” Ariel retired.A pause. Then Dominic’s voice became hard. “Now.”I pictured Ariel’s expression with her jaw set, her eyes blazing. She hated being ordered around. But there was a beat of silence, and then the sound of movement. The front door opened and closed.Dominic and his daughter were gone.A breath shuddered out of me. I squeezed my eyes sh
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Breaking It Off
Ruby’s POVDominic stood there, a bouquet of red roses in one hand and a box of Swiss chocolates in the other. His expression was hesitant, like he wasn’t sure if he was welcome.He definitely wasn't.“I brought your favorite,” he said quietly. “Swiss chocolate. And red roses to match your hair.”His eyes flicked upward to my head and his face shifted. “Or.... what used to be your hair.”I didn’t respond. I just stared at him and tried to recognize what I was currently feeling. I wanted to be angry; hell, I was angry, but I couldn’t ignore the warmth I felt at seeing him again.Has it really been almost a week since I saw him last?Dominic looked awful. He’d lost weight. His shirt hung looser than before, and his face was sharper, the lines more pronounced. The familiar scar on his face was whiter than the rest of his face. Only his ponytail remained pristine, as if it was the one thing he still had control over. It was hard to look at this man who instilled fear in everybody in the
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Back Home
Ruby’s POVDamien never left my side. For the rest of my stay in the hospital, he was always there telling the worst jokes to make me laugh, forcing me to eat when I didn’t want to, keeping me company through the long, dull hours. I had spent so many years thinking I had no family and now here he was, slipping into my life like he had always been there.The ten-year gap between us didn’t even matter. He was so easy to talk to and so warm. If he had been part of my childhood, I knew it would have been brighter and happier.Three days after I was admitted, the same blond nurse walked in, holding a clipboard. “Good news,” she said with a smile. “It’s time for you to be discharged.”Finally.She placed the discharge papers in my hands, along with a pen. “Just sign these, and you’re free to go.”I didn’t hesitate. I scrawled my name quickly, then turned to Damien. “I don’t want to go back to my big, empty condo alone.”He smiled like he had been expecting me to say that. “Then you won’t,”
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Don't Know Who To Trust Again
Ruby’s POVThe man claiming to be my brother walked closer. I stayed still as I warily watched him approach me. I didn't know how to feel.Ariana leaned toward Lilac, but her whisper was loud enough for all of us to hear. “Oh my God, Jonas really wasn’t lying. Look at them. They’re the spitting image of each other.”I didn’t react. I just watched him.Damien turned to Ariana. “You can call me Damien,” he said. “Jonas is my middle name. I had to tell you it was my first name to hide my true identity. I didn’t want anyone outside of Ruby and Dominic knowing I was in the U.S.”Ariana frowned. “Why so secretive?”Damien frowned and looked away. “Apparently, my father still has enemies here. If they knew I existed, they’d kill me.”Ariana blinked. “Kill you?”He nodded. “Because they'd think I am a beneficiary of the DanCliffe estate.”Silence settled over the room. Then Damien turned back to Ariana and smiled. “But I have to thank you.”She tilted her head. “For what?”“For leading me to
