All Chapters of Bound To The Billionaire: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

I had told the mayor of my plans to provide more shelter in New York, and he seemed intrigued. “That is really interesting; you spoke like you really had passion for this cause. Why do you think it is important?”This was a trick question. He was trying to throw me off balance, but I was ready for this. I took a deep breath as if I were contemplating the question, and I started talking. “I am aware that New York has a growing problem with homelessness. You walk through some streets, and you see people sleeping wherever there is a shade. I would understand this more because I grew up in New York and have been part of those people.”His ears pricked as he heard that, and his eyes softened, barely believing what he had just heard, but I knew I had gotten to him.“Let me tell you a little secret, mayor.” The mayor was nodding his head, eager to hear whatever I had to divulge. In that moment, my eyes met with Jeremy, who was doing his own share of networking, and we shared a smile. “I am an

“The winner, who is also the person with the highest number of bids, is..." The announcer paused for a moment and observed the audience, his heady eyes scanning all of us.My heart was in my mouth as I looked on, and my ears pricked to hear the result. A thought flashed through my mind, and I was shaking my head. I didn’t know what I was going to do if I didn’t win.I didn’t even want to know; I just knew that I needed to win this thing.A hand grabbed my shaking legs, halting the movement, and when I looked at the culprit, Jeremy’s eyes met mine. “It is alright; we have tried our best. Whatever the result, I know we did our best.”“Hmm.” I couldn’t bring myself to talk, but I nodded my head and placed my hands on his hands, letting the warmth comfort me.“Without further ado, the winner of the bid is none other than Elite Dwellings!”“We won!” Jeremy's reaction was immediate, and he was yelling in my ears while I was still trying to process the information. "Oh, Ruby, we won.”“Yea.”

“What have you done?” Jeremy yelled as he entered my room. I was taken aback by the outburst, and my eyebrows rose in question.“I don’t understand. What happened?” I asked, confusion written all over my face. I had just woken up from a sweet, albeit short, nap, and I was still trying to get my bearings.There was no way I would have done something between those times, except I had a Dopplerganger somewhere who was wreaking havoc when I was sleeping.Thinking of it, if I had a dopplerganger somewhere, I would want to meet with her; maybe we could exchange jobs or something.“Don’t try to play ignorant about this; your face is literally plastered all over the internet.” Jeremy barked, cutting into my thoughts.“Ohkayyy…” I dragged out the words as I was still trying to recall what bad I had done. “I mean, it should be a good thing, right? Some exposure means more opportunities.”Jeremy looked at me. His jaw was hanging low, like he couldn’t believe what I had just said, and I was even m

Work began in earnest the next day, which means that we were going to be staying in New York for a great deal of time—well, only Jeremy and I.Charles and Anna had gone back to Seattle as they had a lot of things to do and couldn’t always be here for us.However, I understood how much of a sacrifice they had made to make us reach such levels, and I was never taking it for granted. That was why I was eager to make sure this project was a success.It had to beJeremy and I had rented an Airbnb that would accommodate us during our stay in New York. Nothing fancy though; it was a modest house with 3 bedrooms and well-furnished rooms, and it had all the essentials we needed.We had decided on a 3-bedroom in case we had visitors; they could always stay in the guest bedroom without having to inconvenience anyone. I flew back to Seattle during the weekend just to check on how things were going over there while Jeremy was holding out his end in New York.We had no ongoing project anymore in Se

“Hey, I need your help.” I said into the speaker, and I waited, unconsciously holding my breath, to hear his reply. A few seconds had passed, and I didn’t hear anything from him. I was sure he heard me, but I was going to repeat it again to clarify any doubt. “I need your help.”“Yes, I heard you for the first time. What do you need?” No matter how he tried, he couldn’t hide the hostility in his voice, and I was cringing as I heard it.I deserved it. I had hurt him beyond measure, yet I was the one on his phone, seeking his favor.“Uhm, it is a long story, but I think it is better if we meet in person.” I said, my heart pounding in my chest for no apparent reason.I heard the ruffling of pages and a small pause before he replied. “Alright, tomorrow should be fine with me by 6 p.m. I will send you the location.”“Alright, thank you.” He was disconnecting the call even before I even finished talking, and I looked at the blank screen for a moment, wondering where it had all gone wrong.I
