The crash came again. This time, it was followed by hurried footsteps. Raphina flinched, Silas immediately moved in front of her. “Stay behind me.” She stared at his back. There was something about the way he said it that made her obey before she could argue. Gabriel disappeared down the corridor, his footsteps fading into the darkness of the mansion. Silas reached for the communication device attached to his belt.

“Report.”

Static.

Then Gabriel’s voice, “The second floor is clear.” Silas f

  • Bound To My Billionaire’s Obsession    Chapter 16: The Billionaire Taste The Street Food

    By noon, Raphina had reached a conclusion. She was bored, not ordinary bored. Silas Croft mansion, three-course meals, security guards, marble floors, and absolutely nothing interesting to do bored. She sat on the terrace with her sketchbook open, staring at the same unfinished drawing for almost twenty minutes. She finally dropped her pencil. “This is ridiculous.” A voice came from behind her, “What is?” She turned. Silas stood at the entrance to the terrace, one hand in his pocket, the other holding his phone. He looked annoyingly composed. Raphina narrowed her eyes, “You.” He raised an eyebrow, “Me?” “You’re boring.” Silas stared at her. Then he glanced around the enormous terrace. “I’m boring?..I own three companies and I have a private jet and a yatch.” Extremely still boring and congratulations too. Do you want a medal? His lips twitched and Raphina smiled.nShe had discovered something about Silas recently.nHe liked being challenged, he just didn’t know it yet. She closed

    Raphina woke up smiling and she hated that. She hated the fact that the first thing that came to mind when she opened her eyes was Silas. More specifically, his lips. She touched her mouth and immediately pulled her hand away. “This is ridiculous.” A soft knock sounded at the door. “Miss Vance?” She recognized Mrs. Parker’s voice. “Come in,” The door opened. Good morning. “Good morning.” Mrs Parker placed a cup of tea on the small table. Mr Croft asked me to make sure you had breakfast. Raphina smiled. “He did?” Apparently, the billionaire has become concerned about whether you eat. She laughed, that sounds like him. Mrs. Parker smiled knowingly, I’ve worked for him for years. I’ve never seen him this attentive to anyone. Raphina’s cheeks warmed. He’s just being protective. “Of course.” Mrs. Parker turned toward the door then paused. Miss Vance? “You make this house feel different.” Before Raphina could respond, she left. Raphina stared after her then her phone rang. M

    Raphina woke up with a problem. She couldn’t stop thinking about Silas. Not about the threatening messages, not about the strange photograph and not even about the conspiracy that had turned her life upside down. She was thinking about his hand around hers in the garden, about the way he had looked at her and about the words he had whispered. When I kiss you, I don’t think I’ll be able to pretend this is temporary anymore. She buried her face in her pillow. “This is ridiculous.” She had known the man for barely a few weeks, yet somehow, he had already found a way beneath every wall she’d built around herself. She got dressed and headed downstairs. The moment she entered the breakfast room, she saw him. Silas was standing beside the window, reading something on his tablet. He looked up, and their eyes met. For one second, neither spoke. Then his gaze dropped briefly to her lips. Raphina’s cheeks warmed then looked away. “Good morning.” “Good morning.” His voice sounded perfectly

    The door opened, Raphina’s breath caught. Silas stood on the other side. He was dressed casually for once, wearing a dark shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows. His hair was slightly disheveled, as though he had barely slept. His eyes immediately found hers. “Are you alright?” Raphina looked at him for a moment before remembering the photograph still lying on the floor behind her. “I…” She bent down quickly and picked it up. Silas noticed. What is that? Nothing. He raised an eyebrow. “Raphina.” She sighed and handed it to him. His expression changed the moment he saw the photograph, but instead of immediately becoming angry, he studied it carefully. Where did you find this? “On my pillow.” Silas looked at the picture again. Then at her. Did you sleep at all? Not really. “Neither did I.” Something about the admission made her pause. You didn’t? Silas shook his head, I had security checking every system in the house. Raphina studied him. “And did you find anything?”

    The crash came again. This time, it was followed by hurried footsteps. Raphina flinched, Silas immediately moved in front of her. “Stay behind me.” She stared at his back. There was something about the way he said it that made her obey before she could argue. Gabriel disappeared down the corridor, his footsteps fading into the darkness of the mansion. Silas reached for the communication device attached to his belt. “Report.” Static. Then Gabriel’s voice, “The second floor is clear.” Silas frowned, clear? Like nothing? Raphina swallowed, but we heard something. I know. Gabriel’s voice came again. I’m checking the east wing. Silas looked at Raphina, “Stay here.”She folded her arms, “I’m not a child.” “Tonight, you are my responsibility.” His voice was stern.His eyes narrowed, “Don’t start.” I didn’t start anything. You brought me into your house and immediately started giving me orders, apparently I am not your prisoner. Because someone broke into your apartment. It’s not safe

  • Bound To My Billionaire’s Obsession    Chapter 11: The Contract

    Raphina knew someone was following her, she just didn’t know how long it had been happening. The feeling had started the moment she left Croft Holdings. At first, she dismissed it. The streets were busy. Cars moved through the evening traffic, headlights cutting through the growing darkness. People hurried along the sidewalks, rushing home after another exhausting day. There was nothing unusual about it, yet every few seconds, she found herself looking over her shoulder. The black SUV was still there, three cars behind her. She stopped at a pedestrian crossing, the SUV stopped too. Her stomach tightened. When the traffic light changed, she continued walking. The SUV moved, Raphina quickened her pace, so did the vehicle. She reached into her handbag and pulled out her phone. Her finger hovered over Maya’s name, then she stopped. What was she going to say? I think someone is following me. It sounded paranoid. She looked behind her again, the SUV had disappeared. Raphina exhaled, ma
