All Chapters of Seduced By The Billionaire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“I swear I didn’t do it, officer.” I told detective Carver for the umpteenth time. I seated across from him in the interrogation room. “My mother gave it to me.”“Your mother is nowhere to be seen so we can’t believe that,” he said. “Until she turns up and supports your version of the story, we’ll hold you.”“You can’t do this to me,” I insisted. “Doesn’t my word count for anything?”“As long as you were found with the item in question, it doesn’t count for much. Whether your mother gave it to you or not, it doesn’t belong to her. What if you two tried to rob Mrs. Mendoza and it failed? As long as Mrs. Mendoza says the item was stolen, you’re not in the clear.”I couldn’t believe my mother had taken off after what she’d done? Had she really betrayed me to work with Carolina? No that was hard to believe. My mother was a scum bug but I didn’t think she’d do something like that to me. “I need to make a call,” I told the officer.“You’ll be able to do that later,” he said. “Now stand up

True to his word, Mason showed up a few minutes later with red roses. Snatching the red roses from him, I pulled him into the house and pushed him against the wall, before kissing him hard. He took over, leading me to the couch and kissed me. When his hand went under my bra, I pushed it away, laughing. “Not here.”I had made the rule that none of us should get intimate on the couch. If I didn’t follow it, I couldn’t enforce it on the others. The thought of having different people have sex on the place I knew we’d spend a lot of time on didn’t sit well with me.“Bedroom?” he asked.“Let’s go to your house.”“I need you now,” he whined. He looked adorable when he did that. I giggled when he tickled me, before quickly getting away from the couch. Mason sat up and tried to touch me but I ran to my bedroom to get my stuff. He followed me there.“I like what you have done to the place,” he commented.“Thank you,” I said.I was hunched over the bed, stuffing some clothes into a backpack. He

April.The dinner was a disaster. Well, for me. Mason seemed to be enjoying the company of the crazy artefact collectors. Being obsessed with old objects seemed like a crazy hobby for crazy people to me. The intense conversations they were having made me rethink my choice of partner. Could I really be with a man that crazy for the rest of my life? I laughed as I watched him speak so passionately with the other collectors. He was having the time of his life.Unlike me. I was forgotten, just sitting there, picking through my food. The room was animated but I’d not said a word since the introductions. Occasionally, I’d catch Alaine staring at me. She seemed to be glad that I was nothing but a shadow in the room. “Wanna get out of here?”I turned to my right. The redhead who had introduced herself as Kareen said.“Yeah,” I nodded. “It seems people like me are not needed here.”She chuckled and stood up. Rising, I glanced at Mason. He was too preoccupied to see me. He was showing the guys

April.The basement’s dank smell became more apparent as time went on. Apart from the smell of mould, there was a hint of something else. The ideas floating around my head were scary so I tried not to think at all, which was easier said than done. I must have stayed there for hours. By the time someone opened the door, I was ravenous. The light from the stairway seeped into the large room, enabling me to see clearly.It was the same man earlier. Leaning down, he placed a bag of fries on the floor. I ran towards the door but he had closed it before I got there. “Let me out,” I screamed, banging against the hardwood. I heard a laugh, followed by footsteps going up the short flight of stairs. Grabbing the fries, I returned to my chair and downed them as fast as I could. At the end of my binge, I was feeling extremely thirsty. It was frustrating, even worse than feeling hungry. My mouth was dry, just like my throat. I started pacing about the basement to ease my discomfort but it didn’t

April.“Are you alone?” Carolina asked.“Yes. What do you want from me?”The call ended. I was about to redial the number when I received a video call. I received it.“Show the entire room to me,” she said. “And you better not be recording this unless you want your dear mother to end up six feet under.”Panicking, I moved around, showing her the entire room. “Look its empty. There’s no one here other than me. What do you want?”Carolina smiled and started moving towards her apartment’s hallway. “I want to show you something.”My hands were shaking as I watched her stop at a door. She turned the camera to her face and flashed me a creepy grin. She even stuck out her tongue before opening the door. I held my breath as I waited for the camera to pan to the room. She had it turned to her smiling face, probably to maintain the suspense. My heart was thumping so hard I feared it was going to pop out of my chest.Carolina’s smile widened. “Do you want to see what’s before me?”“What have you
