All Chapters of Bound To The Billionaire: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

“Are you crazy?” Jeremy yelled; his voice would have been echoing all around the room if it were empty. His eyes were narrowed, and he was looking at me like I had attempted to overthrow the sitting president or the royal family when, in truth, I was just telling him what would benefit us.“Geez, you don’t have to shout, you know. I am just looking for ways to push this company forward.” I tried to explain myself better.“There are different ways of trying to grow the company without involving this. This is practically stealing, and you know it is frowned upon in our line of business.” Now it was my turn to frown. I couldn’t believe what he had just uttered from his mouth.“Who said it was stealing? This is business; you have to fight tooth and nail to get what you want. Nothing is handed to you on a silver pallet, and nothing is set in gold. Have you not heard the term "overtaking " before?”He twisted his lips, and his nose flared like he had inhaled an awful smell. “I don’t like th

The cancer awareness charity was to be held in the evening of the same day, and Charles and his wife had been kind enough to shop for us all—both dresses and suits.It was a black-tie event with a strict dress code, and anyone who didn’t abide by the rules would be kicked out by beefy security. Yes, it was that extreme.The party was for the 1% of the 1%, only the big fish. Men who could afford everything that money could buy. It was even better that it was a masquerade party, and I was actually looking forward to this one because I could blend in well with the crowd.The cancer awareness course was something I would like to give towards, and also, the rich knew how to party; there was always finger food passing around, and they had the best of drinks and cocktails.I heard a knock on my door, and I stood up from my bed, puzzled. It couldn’t be Jeremy because he would have informed me before he came, nor was it Anna and Charles’s, as I was sure they were still getting dressed.My surv

“Ruby, a word.” Alex said as he neared me, ignoring the man who was standing beside me. I looked at him with a scowl on my face.My initial admiration had disappeared, and now I was just angry. Who was he to just order me around? Is that how to talk to someone you have been ignoring the whole night?“Knight, I didn’t think you’d bother yourself with events like this.” Elijah said, looking up at him. Alex was only slightly taller than him, but the way he stood, you would think he was more than a foot taller.“What I bother with is none of your business.” Alex retorted, barely sparing a glance at the young man. From the static electricity that was sizzling between them, I knew they weren’t exactly the best of friends.“It is my charity business, and you are here, so I am concerned.” Elijah said in a nonchalant tone. I could already sense the rivalry between the two men; it didn’t start today, and I didn’t want to be in the midst of it.I turned on my heel, ready to leave them to their ‘

We entered his house, and he reached for the light switch and turned it on. With the sudden emergence of light, I was overwhelmed, and I wrapped my arms around me, folding into myself.My mind wandered to Jeremy, and I could imagine the look on his face when it was time to go home and he discovered I wasn’t around. He would be so disappointed.“Should we go upstairs to my room?” Alex suggested, and I was nodding my head. Jeremy could wait a little longer. I will deal with him when the time comes.“Sure.” I let him lead the way, even though I was no stranger to this house. There was something feminine about a man taking charge, and I wouldn’t want to take that role.My eyes scanned the house as I moved, trying to take note of anything different, but nothing much has changed since I last came here. Aside from the new painting, there was no difference.Even the placement of things was the same.We came to the familiar mahogany door, and he pushed it open for me to enter. “Thank you.” I s

“I love you.” I heard Alex say it in my subconscious, as I was about to fall asleep, but I was waking up early to go.If Jeremy had found out I had left to see Alex, it wasn’t going to end well, so I had to be discreet.I could always tell him that I left the party early because I was tired and wanted to rest. That was a more plausible lie, but he may catch on, if I come around sleeping like sexIt was difficult for me to stand up because Alex had decided that strangling me was the only way he could sleep comfortably.I held my breath as I untangled myself from him. His sleep pattern usually alternates from heavy sleeper to light sleeper, depending on how tired he is.I had hoped I was able to wear him out so he could sleep deeply. I had accomplished the impossible and had untangled myself from his chokehold; it was now time to look for the cloth that was left.I began to look for my clothes that had been flung at one point in time during our session. Because why did I find my pants v
