The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 008
Christina’s POV It was almost ten minutes later when Scott finally descended from the stage and headed toward me with purposeful strides. All eyes were glued on us and I forced myself to smile bitterly while nursing my anger on the inside. Getting to me, he pulled out the empty chair beside me and took his seat, before gently taking my arm and placing it on his legs with his fingers laced to mine. Rage flooded my bloodstream as I remained quiet, faking a smile while wondering what the monster was up to. He’d successfully pushed me farther into a brighter and bigger spotlight than the one Jenny had started with. What was his aim in lying to a room full of people? To keep me from escaping? I was still seething with a clenched jaw when the woman beside me suddenly nudged my shoulder with hers and when I turned to acknowledge her, she had a polite smile on her face. “You’re a lucky woman, Christina,” her smile widened and I forced myself to return it, with my cheeks hurting from how wi

Scott’s POVAfter scolding her in the car on our way home from the banquet, I was sure Christina knew her place and wouldn’t question my actions and decision regarding her henceforth. That evening, I cleaned up, and went to her bedroom, dressed in my bathrobe as I’d just gotten of the shower.Between being the host of the banquet, and striking up business deals with possible investors, I was tired and craved the comfort of my bed. Yet, the thought of checking on the woman kept assailing my mind. As much as I wanted to put her in her place, I think I may have gone too far. I’d been tired and frustrated and the moment she began yelling at me and stepping out of line, I heaped my frustrations on her.I walked towards her room with the sole intention of checking on her but on opening the door, I saw she was seated on the bed, still dressed in the dinner dress that accentuates her curvy figure, hugging her like a second skin and leaving nothing to the imagination. I drew in a deep breath,

Christina’s POVThe pain of the gashing wound in my neck ricocheted through me and I clenched my teeth to hold off the cry that was threatening to slip free as my unwavering gaze remained on my captor. His hardened gaze was locked on mine and I could feel the rage emanating from him but I managed to keep my act together. He needed to understand that I wasn’t just a puppet he could toy with. I was a human with emotions and he’d have to treat me with respect. But then, the more I stared into his darkened eyes, the more I wondered if my act was even getting through his thick walls.What if he didn’t care about my life? I mean, I was nothing more than a plaything to him with the extra bonus of bearing him an heir. What if he let me kill myself and move on with another victim? He could even dispose of me and no one would be aware. After all, my father has sold me to him.These thoughts swarmed my mind and the hand that was holding onto the scissors began quivering. Yes, I wanted to end my

Christina’s POV Instant anger surged through me the moment I heard the butler’s words. ‘Who the hell does he think he is to assume I’d bow to his will and stroke his silly ego?’ Scott Reid has all but shown me different versions of his personality disorder which has only helped in strengthening my hatred for him. He was the kind of man that would do anything to hurt people all because he can’t get them to lick his feet and worship him on his high horse and truly, I’d rather die than be one of his worshippers. “You can tell him to suck up his inflated ego and shove it up his ass for all I care,” I gritted through clenched teeth, ignoring the little discomfort I felt in my chest from when I’d hastily swallowed the remnants of the snacks I’d been eating just to hide them from the butler. “If he thinks I’d fall to his feet all because he’s stopped you from feeding me then he must be a sore loser.” I stared Adams hard in the eyes, not caring to hide my disgust that he was actively taking

Scott’s POVI tapped my fingers endlessly on the surface of the glass desk as I waited for Adams' report. I’d sent him to Christina to know if she’d decided to have a change of mind. Surely, she wouldn’t hesitate to come begging for forgiveness after her silly actions and the little show she’d put on, in hopes of getting me to fall under her whims. By now, I was sure hunger must have dealt her an ugly hand, and coupled with the pain of the wound on her neck, she’d have no choice but to be docile and obedient. She was a smart woman and I knew she’d make the right decision. It was just very sad to know that she’d let herself go through so much pain and agony, all for nothing.I was still tapping my fingers against the desk when a soft knock sounded on the door and I called out to him to get in, as I knew it was none other than the butler, Adams. There was a weary expression etched on his face, as he walked towards me, his eyes staring at everything else except me.“So?” I inquired, not

Scott’s POVThe next morning, I stepped out of my bedroom with my briefcase in hand, all dressed and ready to leave for work. I hadn’t heard anything about Christina after last evening and as I walked past her door, I stopped to listen if I’d hear any sound from her but nothing came. I stepped closer to the door and pressed my ear to it but there was nothing. A slight frown marred my face and I wrapped my fingers around the doorknob, ready to pull it open just to see what she was up to but then I stopped myself.Why do I care so much about her? She could go to hell for all I know, until she’s ready to be well-behaved. These thoughts came to me and I left the door alone. It was still very early in the morning and I wouldn’t give the little minx a chance to rile my nerves. I have a meeting to attend this morning at the company, and I needed to be in my best mood, to handle the investors that were coming.I released a deep breath and continued down the hallway, to the stairs that led t

Christina’s POVMy eyes popped open to meet with the pristine white ceilings, coupled with the bright white light of the bulb illuminating the room. The light flooded my eyes and I instantly shut them from its assault but I must have done it so fast because a migraine attacked me and my head began aching. Again, I opened my eyes, and I groaned as my head continued pounding, as though it was about to fall off.I didn’t know how long I’d been sleeping but it must have been well into the day. The last thing I could recall was that my bedroom door opened a while ago when I was about to get out of bed but I decided to keep still and pretend to still be asleep as I wasn’t ready to deal with anyone that morning. I must have slept back after whoever it was left and I hadn’t woken up since then. Coupled with the head-splitting headache that was threatening to take me out, hunger pangs hit me and I tried to rub my stomach with my palm but it was then I realized I couldn’t move it and it felt

Christina’s POVCarefully, he reached for the hem of my top and I obliged, raising my arms for him to pull it off. Next, he went for my pants and slowly slid them down my waist, leaving me in my white cotton panties. His warm palms settled on my stomach and slowly slid down to grab the waistline of my panties and just like the pants, he slid them down my legs until they pooled at my feet. Next, he grabbed my hand and I stepped out of the pool of sweaty clothes.“Wait here,” His voice was calm as he walked around with purposeful steps, filling up the bathtub with warm water, and adding the lavender body wash that was in the bathroom to it. When he was satisfied with the outcome, he returned and grabbed my hand, leading me to it until I climbed in and sat in the warm water. An involuntary moan of comfort slipped out of my lips and I closed my eyes, as I got settled in the water. For a moment, I forgot I wasn’t alone, as I allowed the warm temperature of the water to soothe my nerves and

Scott’s POVThe trees and scenery around us passed in a blur as we sped down the forest road that led to Vincenzo’s home. As soon as he’d told us how to exit the property, I’d carried Christina in my arms and sped down the hallway, ready to evacuate the premises without second thoughts, or even a glance back at the unfolding chaos. At that moment, it was as though I had just one mission to take Christina to safety. Just as Vincenzo had said, the car was waiting at the back, with the engine running, and the doors opened. We got in and the driver took to the wheels, speeding out of the compound. Behind us, was another of Vincenzo’s security detail, to keep us safe.Christina was sitting across from me but I still couldn’t look at her, for fear that I might find an injury or even as little as a bruise that would show she was hurt, and bring back the ugly reality of what could have happened, if we had been just a minute late.My hand that was holding hers gripped it tightly, unwilling to

Christina’s POVTen minutes earlierI stepped out of the stall, ready to head back to the party, despite my nerves still reeling from the embarrassment of the little show Scott and I had unintentionally put on for the audience. A wry smile crossed my face as I stared at the mirror while washing my hands. My makeup was still in place and so was my hair. I playfully winked at myself and turned away, ready to head back but before I could take a step, soft moans of pleasure sailed into my ears and I was frozen in place.I stood there, silently hoping I’d heard wrong but then they came again, this time a bit louder, followed by a throaty moan. My head instantly whipped in the direction they were coming from, the first stall. It was five stalls away from where I was but that didn’t stop their moans from reaching me. I couldn’t help the giggle that slipped out of my lips but I quickly slapped a palm over my mouth to not alert them of my presence.It felt like I was in high school all over ag
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 057
Scott’s POVI took her soft lips in mine, not caring about the gloss nor the red tint of her lipstick that would stain my lips. All I wanted was to have a taste of her, to feel her warm body in my arms, the way she holds on to me like she’s holding on for dear life, while she melts into the kiss. It’s purely magical. By the time we pulled apart, she was breathless, heaving with her soft eyes fixed on mine. They were mesmerizing and I just couldn’t look away. We stood in that position, staring at each other, with one of my arms wound tightly around her slender waist, and the other resting on the nape of her neck.Her eyes darted to my lips and she chuckled lightly.“I’ll leave that as a mark to let the ladies know you’re taken,” She grinned, with gleaming eyes and I smiled, indulging her.“And I wouldn’t mind wearing your mark, my love,” I winked at her before I leaned down to claim her lips one more time.This time, a knock interrupted us, followed by the words of one of the maids.“S
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 056
Christina’s POVI woke up to a strong arm wrapped around my waist and the heat of his warm body sipping into mine. At first, I felt a bit lost until all the previous night's events began flooding into my head and I realized what I’d done. I’d given in to my desires at long last. I’d given myself to him just like he’d predicted and I’d done it without caution. I’d willingly let him plant his seed in me.With so many thoughts crowding my head all at the same time, all I wanted was to bolt out of bed and be far away from him. I needed to handle this. I had no idea what to do. Was this even in the plans? I allowed pleasure to blur the lines between what I truly wanted, my plans to escape, and giving into this sick plan of his with my father. My heart squeezed painfully at the thoughts of giving up and playing into this sick fantasy.What was wrong with me?I was only meant to put up an act for the weekend and I let him get the best of me. Now he’d be able to mock me with it. Bile rose in
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 055
Christina’s POVIt happened so fast that before I could comprehend what was going on, he’d caged me to the sink with his body pressed tightly to mine and his lips on mine. His eyes were closed with an expression of ecstasy etched on his face, as he kept kissing me. When he noticed I wasn’t returning his kisses, his eyes finally opened, and they met with mine, staring into them with his lips slightly parted, and his chest heaving from his almost silent pants.I could see the question in his eyes, and the look in them was enough to melt all of my remaining barriers. But not just that. There was something about his expression that I couldn’t put my hands on but it mirrored a deep hunger and need, one that needed to be sated urgently and the realization that it was all for me, had my lower abdomen twisting and curling with want. He looked messy but yummy at the same time, and all I wanted was to get my hands on him.He may have seen something else in my eyes from my silence because when

Christina’s POV“I’m sorry I made you feel that way,” His eyes burrowed into mine as he said the words and I could see the sincerity in them. Deep down, I truly wished he was being genuine this time. He reached for my palm that was resting on the bench and covered it with his. “I’m willing to work on myself to make things work, if you can give me another chance,”“This would be the last,” I tried to sound stern just to get him to understand and see that I wasn’t playing around.“Thank you, my lady,” He mimicked a slight bow and a smile slipped onto my face.Since our arrival, I’m beginning to see that he had a wholesome personality when he wasn’t being an asshole. So yes, maybe we could make things work and I had a good feeling about this one.“Wanna see something else?” a wry grin stretched his lips, and I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering what else there is to see in this property. It seemed we were already at the end and it definitely couldn’t get bigger than this, could it? He r

Scott’s POVI rose to my feet, took her arm in mine and led her to my side. I proceeded to plant a kiss on her temple, while still smiling. For a second, she stilled, but glanced at me with a questioning look in her eyes.“If I’d known horses would make you this happy, I’d have gotten some and built you a stable from the very first day,”She rolled her eyes as though she was calling my words a bluff and I had the slightest urge to spank her ripe ass and I did just that, feeling its softness in my arms but she gasped in shock but didn’t make any move to step away. Instead, she glanced around with widened eyes, lips popped open in surprise and a deep crimson colour of mortification on her cheeks.“You…” She tried scolding me but I winked at her and linked my fingers to her as I started towards the main building.“Where… I thought you’d take me to the stables…” she objected, refusing to move but I turned to explain.“Unless you don’t mind me reeking of dried sweat, then I’d suggest you l
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 052
Scott’s POVMy eyes are fixed on Vincenzo and Christina as I watch how well they converse like they’ve known each other forever. She does it with such ease that it leaves me wondering if I’d misjudged her in the past, regarding the case of her relations with her personal guard, Dexter, and my step-brother, Marvin. Watching her with my grandfather has made me realize she’s a natural when it comes to effortlessly relating with people. It is more like an inborn skill but it seems she lacks it when it comes to me.I nodded my head at something Vincenzo directed at me in the course of their conversation but I paid no mind to what he actually said. Thoughts of my strained relationship with Christina were all I could think about. She’s never been as kind to me with words as she’s been with others. Whenever she had to address me, there was always an air of hostility about her that kept me at bay. Although it seemed to have toned down a bit since our visit to Vincenzo, I wasn’t a fool. I under
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 051
Christina’s POV “Would you like me to help you out?” The moment I heard those words, a little gasp of surprise fled my lips and my stomach curled, causing my pussy to pulse. I wasn’t expecting him to say that. All I’d expected was a mockery for touching myself. I had expected him to make it all about himself or even make me feel less of myself but that deep guttural voice that had uttered those sinful words was far from mockery. His palm that was still on my lower stomach pressed down slightly but firmly, not moving away. It only intensified the pleasurable sensations swirling through me, and I let out a shaky breath, unsure of what to do. I was too mortified to give him an answer to his question. It felt as if I’d die if I should let him see me this way but then when I remained quiet, he spoke again. “Come on, little fairy, you want it, don’t you?” His voice was low but still audible and this time, his palm traveled downwards, resting just at the top of my core. With one little mo
