The Billionaire's Stubborn Bride CHAPTER 45: STRUGGLES AND CHOICES
RUBYI'm curious why he's avoiding my questions and keeping a secret. He promised to tell me everything when we got home, and I'm very hopeful. I pray he doesn’t change his mind and decide not to tell me anymore. Predicting Archer's behavior these days is like trying to forecast the weather, but there's a greater chance of being wrong.Finally arriving at our private condo in the estate, I hurriedly got out of the car, slammed the door, and stormed inside, ignoring the stream of workers there to welcome me. I just wanted to be left alone to clear my head. I quickly strode upstairs, my foot thumping loudly. Archer kept calling after me, but I couldn't care less.I jumped onto my bed, sighing with relief. I wondered why Julia didn't return to the hospital. Did Archer send her away, or did my father scare her off? I searched in my purse for my phone, but it was with my husband. Getting up, I opened the door, and he rushed toward me, enveloping me in a tight hug, rolling me around as if c
The Billionaire's Stubborn Bride Chapter 46: Threats and Anger
ArcherMy driver drove into the hospital compound and parked in the parking lot. The doctor had called and informed us that there were still some tests to be carried out, so we had to come back to the hospital.I alighted and went to the other side of the car, opening the door for Ruby.She stepped down and we walked into the hospital building.I couldn’t help but laugh.“Seems you love your teddy more than me.” I asked, she paused and turned to me.“Maybe”The smile on my face disappeared.Ruby burst out laughing as she walked into the changing room with the teddy bear, to change into the hospital gown. I wonder how she can lift that thing.That must have been a joke, right?I mean that thing isn’t even alive.I ran my hand through my hair in exhaustion.My stomach grumbled angrily.Damn! I haven’t eaten anything all day.Chinese food wouldn’t be bad.I reached into my pocket for my phone and dialed my driver. He picked and I ordered for two Chinese takeout and get whatever he wanted
The Billionaire's Stubborn Bride Chapter 47: A Kidnapping
RubyI lay still on the bed, a smile on my lips as I stared at the white ceiling above me. I’d sent Archer home to go freshen up, but not after teasing him that he stank. But to be honest, I didn’t want him going after Diavolo and causing trouble.I shrugged off the thought of Diavolo finding me. Even I wasn’t certain I was safe from him but I had to calm Archer down somehow. Put his mind at ease, at least.The thought of what Julia said about Diavolo hovered around in my mind.Who would have thought, someone I once loved with all my heart was a huge scam! No wonder papa never accepted him.I sighed and shut my eyes.The door opened and I turned towards it. Two nurses walked in, they were both dressed in green scrub. One had on a face mask that prevented me from seeing even the bridge of her nose while the other carried a little metal tray containing some hospital equipment. They both walked to my bedside.“Good day Mrs. Petraki” The nurse carrying the tray greeted with a broad smile.

ArcherI was in my home office, going through some files I’d brought home from work when the landline sitting on my table rang. I reached for it and picked up.“Yes?”“Sir-” It was my driver. “I just got to the hospital now and the nurse here said Mrs. Patraki has been discharged”I guess they ran those tests faster than I thought.“Alright then, bring her home.” I responded and made to drop the call.“Sir-” There was a long pause at the other end which made me feel somewhat worried.“What’s the problem? Speak!” I growled into the phone.“The hospital said you were the one who ordered for her discharge. Mrs. Patraki isn’t here, sir”“What, what do you mean by you can’t find her?!” I screamed into the phone, my blood began boiling.I only left there a few hours ago, how come she’s missing now?And what do those people mean by, I ordered for her discharge?Did they think that if I was aware that was a thing, I wouldn’t have done it?!I felt a mixture of feeling run through me.I clench

ArcherWhile the CIA agents were working round the clock, trying to track the text message in every way possible, Aolo was on a call with Ruby’s sister, Ethel. He informed her about the kidnap and promised to keep her updated if there was any progress.I stood up from the edge of the table where I sat and made my way to the window. I stared out at the busy road below and sighed.Breathing in the wet air, I shut my eyes and tucked my hands in my pocket.This whole process was taking too much time, we’ve been here all day and still, no progress.I really didn’t want the day passing without finding Ruby. I felt helpless and useless.I had to do something but right now I had no idea what to do.My phone rang, I checked who the caller was.Jordan.I picked up and placed the phone on my left ear.“Hey bro” His voice came in from the other end. “I just got to the hospital now, our driver told me what happened”I sighed again.“Do you have any idea of who it might have been? Have they contact
The Billionaire's Stubborn Bride Chapter 50 : Betrayal in Shadows
RubyI blinked open, the room was covered in stark darkness.Shit! The back of my head hurts. Sophie must have hit me to put me out. I tried to touch it but I found out my hands were tightly bound together.Where am I?I could feel a wall behind me, I leaned back, placed my hands on the floor and pushed myself up to sit. Just then, a door creaked open and beams of sunlight washed into the room, lighting it up and temporarily blinding me in the process. I squinted.“You’re awake” A masculine voice said. I looked up, trying to figure out who it was but the light kept getting in my eye.The figure walked to where I sat and squatted in front of me. My eyes adjusted and I could see who it was.Diavolo.He had on a smile on his lips as he peaked me on the lips.“I’m sorry it had to be this way” He said softly, reaching for my face again but I avoided his hand.“I love you Ruby and I’ll do anything for you. I miss us you know?”I kept mute, glaring at him.The rope used to tie my hands was b
The Billionaire's Stubborn Bride Chapter 1: The Unexpected Kiss
Ruby's POV“I can’t do this, Dad.” “I can’t marry a man I don’t know.” I try to protest while my father, Aolo Ferretti speaks, his voice reflecting the finality of his decision. “It’s for the best, Piccolo,” he responds. “You know I love you and wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. This will benefit you and the family.” “Benefit me?” I exclaim in outrage. “How can marrying a man I don’t know possibly be good for me, Dad?” “Ruby, I know the Petraki family. They are good people. Urso has been my best friend since we were kids,” he says, pacing. “This marriage is in your best interest.” “He’s going to move to Milan. He’ll join you in the family business, and we’ll merge our businesses together. You won’t have to leave home,” my dad explains. I can never believe that my dad is doing this solely for my well-being. I gently shake him off and walk over to the window in his study, gazing out at our estate. “What about Diavolo?” I ask, my gaze outside. Diavolo, my boyfriend for over a y

The woman in my arms is oblivious to how she looks.When she walks into the bar this evening, every man in the room turns to watch her, captivated by her long, smooth legs, creamy white skin begging to be touched, a slender figure with enchanting golden-brown eyes. But the most astonishing thing about her is her striking red hair, so vibrant it can only be described as Ruby red.As she approaches the bar, fidgeting as if she’s a housewife about to meet a secret lover, I can’t resist striking up a conversation with her. To my surprise, she not only responds but checks me out enough for me to know she’s interested.I deepen the kiss, and when I raise my hand to cup her firm breast, she shudders, making me groan. This is completely unexpected; I h
