All Chapters of Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My eyes hurt. Hell, all parts of my body hurt like hell. But I'm trying to endure it all, by acting like nothing could faze me. “Jewel!” Star, the live-in maid Miguel employed, yelled my name the moment she entered the house. She banged the door behind her, almost deafening me with the sound. I can hear her footsteps as she rushed in. She sounded excited. “What's wrong?” I called out from the parlour where I was. I sat up on the couch and made certain not to wince. She only knows that my husband treats me like trash. I don't wish for her to know of the new development. “I got something for you.” She sat on the cushion next to me and rummaged through her handbag. “Tada!” She brought out an invitation card from her handbag and gave it to me. The way her eyes sparkled made me jealous. I gave her a once-over. Star is a beautiful woman with hair as blonde as mine, and blue eyes which were brighter than mine. However, compared to her, I'm nothing but a shell of myself. "Take a look at

I checked the time for the fifth time. It was already eight O'clock, and my husband wasn't back yet. I glanced at the door, half hoping to see him trudge in, tired from working, but nothing happened. Star was long done with dinner, but I was still waiting for Miguel. Aside from Fridays, I always have dinner with Miguel. It's one of the God damned rules he made.I yawned. “What's keeping him today?” I checked the time once more. If only I had a cell phone, I would have given him a call, to check on him. Not that he would have answered. The front door opened. I instantly rose from the cushion I was sitting on and hastened to the door. Though I didn't get to hear the car when he returned, I was aware he was the only one who enters the house by this time. None of the guards does that. They knock on the door when they want to relay a message.Miguel stood by the door. Though he didn't look as tired as I envisioned, he seemed to have run his hand through his hair more than once. His

I hastened toward the front door after the check had been made. There was no bouncer at the door, and I stood still as I wondered what I should do. This was my first time in a place like this, so I was confused about what to do. Should I open the door and walk in, or should I stand here until the door bouncer comes in?There should be a bouncer or butler, right? I glanced back at the guards at the gates, but none of them was watching me. Hmm.I stared at the door so long, that I seemed to stab holes into it. “Are you going in, or do you prefer staying outside?” Someone asked behind me.The voice startled me, and I almost threw the handbag I came with, on the ground. “Oh, my. Did I startle you?” The female asked once more. I slowly turned to face her without saying a word. Just like me, the female was putting on a long flowing gown. She had her red hair tied up in a butterfly ponytail, and her black mask complimented her silver gown. “So, what are you doing outside here?” She aske

I discreetly peered at Miguel, who had his entire focus on the Television. Occasionally, he would sigh, and that was all. I crossed my right leg over my left and leaned on the cushion as I tried not to pay much heed to my husband. Most times he will glance my way. Perhaps, he was checking if I was still watching the movie with him. Oh, stop looking at me.I wanted to say, but couldn't bring myself to do just that. There was no telling what my stony husband might do to me. I yawned after a long time of watching the boring movie without understanding anything from it.The lead actor was so ugly that they made the rest of the actors and actresses seem so bland. I stretched my taut muscles and rose from the cushion I was sitting on. “Where are you going to?” He raised his brows at me. “To have a nap.” I yawned once more to emphasize my point. “Are you through with the movie?” He asked in a gruff, indifferent tone. “I will pass,” I forced a smile as I glared at the TV.Who in this wo

Miguel has been acting weird for the past two weeks now. He seems absent-minded most of the time, and that wasn't too difficult to notice since I'm the type who's observant of their surroundings. Though I wanted to ignore him, I couldn't do that. It's unlike him to ignore me. He hasn't called me to the room and he doesn't bother me as much as he did before. He just changed. “Is anything bothering you?” I softly asked him as I sat on the cushion opposite the one he was sitting on.“Do I look like a bothered person?” He snapped at me. His eyes narrowed until I couldn't see his pupils. “No, you don't.” I forced a smile, “I was just asking because I'm worried about you. That's all.”It's not as if I have another person to be worried about. He's the only one besides Star, who I'm close to —albeit not as close as we should be. “You're worried about me?” He scoffed. “Take that your worry, and shove it wherever suits you, I want nothing of that sort.” He narrowed his eyes at me. “You….”“
