All Chapters of Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jewel's POVI peeked an eye open as I glanced around the familiar room. I furrowed my brows. How did I get here? I slowly yawned as I tried to rise from the bed, but I was stopped by a strong hand on my waist. I panicked for a moment until I noticed that it was Miguel. What's he doing in my room?I blinked as I watched my husband. How did he end up in my room?“Miguel.” I tried to remove his hand from my waist, but he held on tighter.“Stay at a place and stop squirming.” He murmured as he brought me closer.His hold on me became tighter, yet, he didn't show any signs of waking up at any moment.“You are suffocating me, Miguel.” I tried to keep my voice neutral, but I couldn't do that. “Hmm.” He tightened his hold on my waist as he scrunched his nose up.I tried once more, to get him to let go of me, but I was unsuccessful. Guess I will have to stay this way then. I turned towards him and watched him sleep. His face looked peaceful and cute. “I wish we can stay like this forever,

Miguel's POVI watched Jewel as she entered her house. “Today, I will get to the root of the matter.” I tightly clenched my fists on the steering of my car. It was in this house that I overheard the plot she had with her stepmother.That was one of the reasons I treated her like trash.I was afraid of what she might do to me should I get closer to her. And at the same time, I never wanted my opinions of her to change when she does according to her stepmother's plans. I stayed in the car for a short while before I got down from it. Jeremiah's family house was still the same. There was no obvious change to it. And that made me wonder what they used the money I signed off to them, for. Before I got married to Jewel, I paid 100 million into her father's account as the bride price. But aside from the new store they opened in the heart of the city, there was no other improvement. Could it be that the money wasn't enough, or they used it for personal gains? I knocked on the door of the h

I sat across from the young woman, whose deadly stares were enough to burn me to ashes. If looks can kill, which luckily, they can't, I would have been long dead. The woman sitting across from me doesn't look that older than me. She looks to be in her early twenties, which made her more of a threat.She was dressed in a black off-shoulder gown, with a golden belt around her tummy. Her red hair was packed in a half ponytail, with the front in a ponytail, while the back was left to cascade down her back. I wrinkled my nose as I watched her, to know what tricks she has up her sleeves. So far, she hasn't asked Miguel whether I was a secretary or not. I guess she doesn't want to ask, fearing what the answer might be. “So, is this all?” Miguel glanced through the file she presented the moment we came in. “Yeah.” She nodded with a smile. “You could have asked for my manager or the director in charge. Why did you ask me here?” Miguel folded his arms. “This isn't as trivial as you made it

Jewel's POV“God, today was hectic.” I glanced towards Star, who was listening to music on her phone. She only had an earpiece in one ear, leaving the other open, so she could hear what I was saying. “You've always wanted to attend a university, haven't you? Why are you complaining only after the first day?” She raised a brow.“It has been long since I've last been in school. You can't fault me for this, can you?” I tried not to roll my eyes at her. “Why won't I do that?” She scrolled through her phone. “Not only am I tasked with babysitting you at home, but I got to bring you back home after classes. God, can you and your husband have mercy on this soul?” She sighed. “Hmm. I heard your salary was doubled. I think I will have Miguel reduce—”“Don't you dare!” She narrowed her eyes at me. “If you dare do that, I will have your head!” She threatened.“Then, I will tell Miguel that you are threatening my life. He will change you—”“Okay, what do you want to talk about?” She removed the

Miguel didn't react. He froze under me, with his mouth tightly shut, and his hands clenched.“What's wrong with you?” I sat up on the bed, and the blanket gave way to the sheer nightgown I was putting on. He swallowed as he tried not to look at my chest.“You don't know what you are asking for, Jewel.” He sat up on the bed and faced me.“Why? Do you still think I'm a kid?” I bit the bottom of my lips as I tried not to let my lower lips tremble. I won't let him know how much his words affected me. It would have been better if he rejected me out rightly. Using such a caring tone as he rejects me, makes me feel like the worst scum on Earth.“No, that's not it.” He tried to touch me, but I moved back. “Should we start now, I don't guarantee that I will stop, even if you beg for me to do that?”His words caused me to gasp. And here I was thinking he didn't want to be intimate with me.“Then, don't stop.” I leaned closer to him, “I don't ever want you to stop.” It's not like my cries bac
