Staring into those wicked, dangerous eyes, Isla's face went completely rigid, lips twitching, expression frozen in place.

Wait. WAIT. Isla flashed back instantly to that first night at the estate the outfit he'd sent to her room. The one she'd been humiliated into wearing.

Shame and fury flooded her at once, her small hands gripping the fabric of her pants where they rested on her knees.

Her nosy, gossipy energy from a moment ago evaporated instantly, like someone had doused her with ice water.

  • Bound by a Billion Dollar Marriage   Chapter 93: Differential Treatment

    Isla let go, allowing him to take the knife away entirely.Grayson pulled out a handkerchief and gently cleaned the blood from her hands, handling her with a careful precision, like something priceless.He measured every ounce of pressure, terrified of adding to her pain but beneath that gentleness, his eyes carried something darker. Rage. The kind that came from watching someone you cared about get hurt."Mr. Vale..." Isla croaked, her mouth pressed into a wobbly line.Watching him handle her filthy hands with this much care left her somehow both overwhelmed and unmoored.Like a lost kid finally spotting a familiar face in a crowd. That sense of safety, that certainty that someone's actually here for me.I'm not facing this alone anymore.Isla's throat tightened, watching his lowered eyes, his sharp, composed profile, torn between gratitude and quiet devastation."Mm," Grayson answered, low."I almost killed someone back there," Isla said, her whole body trembling slightly.Grayson g

  • Bound by a Billion Dollar Marriage   Chapter 92: With Me Here, No One Touches You

    A second scream followed the first.Bianca's cry was almost animal, doubling over, clutching her stomach, curling into a heap on the floor. "AH! Isla, you BITCH!"In that split second, Isla had made her choice.She'd struck fast a shallow strike to the hostage's shoulder, twisting the blade as she pulled it free, just enough to break his usefulness without going further than necessary.He crumpled, clutching his shoulder, all his earlier bulk suddenly meaningless.Blood splattered across Isla's face as she moved the same motion deflecting the pipe swinging toward her head. In the same breath, she kicked out with her good leg, catching Bianca and sending her sprawling.Everyone loses something in this exchange.The bald man and his remaining three men surged forward, then froze at the sight in front of them.Isla's legs shook, her hands trembled she was past her limit, and refused to stop anyway.She lifted her chin, bloodshot eyes locking onto the bald man, voice a hoarse rasp. "Come

  • Bound by a Billion Dollar Marriage   Chapter 91: Bianca, the Brain-Dead Liability

    The bald man hadn't expected this much composure from someone in her position. Impressed despite himself, he grabbed a length of pipe and turned it over in his hand, almost casual. "So what are these terms?"Isla shifted further behind her hostage, using his bulk as cover, balancing carefully on her good leg. She knew exactly how precarious her position was no room to show a crack."Men like you work for money. Which means someone already paid you a deposit. I'd guess your boss doesn't even know you're holding two hostages instead of one grabbing Bianca was just a convenient way to squeeze extra cash.""Collect her father's ransom, then leave. The second I'm clear, I release your friend here myself. You walk away with two payouts instead of one, nobody loses a man, and I never breathe a word about any of this to anyone. Deal?" Isla's voice carried clean and steady across the empty warehouse.She'd noticed something useful: when the bald man had aimed his phone camera earlier, he'd del

  • Bound by a Billion Dollar Marriage   Chapter 90: Isla's Counterattack Ruthless and Fierce

    The dust-choked air carried a faint, coppery smell.Isla's ankles were already weak from prior injuries, and the fresh wound only made everything worse. Sweat beaded across her forehead, her whole body trembling from the pain.The man wielding the blade complained it was too dull to do the job cleanly casual, offhand, like he was discussing kitchen equipment instead of maiming someone.Isla stared back at him, eyes bloodshot, teeth gritted. Terrified as she was, she refused to beg.The moment I show weakness, that's exactly when it gets worse.She held her breath, forcing down every sound of pain.As the man leaned in for another cut, Isla gathered every ounce of strength left in her body. Ignoring the fresh pain, she twisted sharply and drove her heel straight into his eye."AH!" He reeled back, shocked, clutching his face, collapsing into a howling heap on the ground.*Whatever it costs me, I am taking someone down with me.*The man holding her shoulder let go in surprise, then back

    Bianca leaned in close, voice dropping to a hiss. "But I'm NOT telling Grayson where you are. You can just wait here and die."Isla shot her a cold, flat look, taking in that smug satisfaction, then turned away entirely. *Not wasting brain cells arguing with her.*Bianca, reading Isla's silence as surrender, kept pushing."Why don't you beg me? Not that it would help."She laughed, low and vicious. "Once they're done with you, you'll never be able to show your face to Grayson again. Convenient, honestly solves the substitute-bride problem, gets rid of you permanently, no more mess for me to clean up.""You want to know why I cooperated so easily luring you out here today? Because I wanted to watch this happen. I wanted to see you fall apart."The trembling, terrified act from moments ago dissolved entirely, replaced with gleeful cruelty.Isla had zero illusions left about this woman. Begging wasn't happening not even if it cost her life.Pale, dust-streaked, eyes gone hard as ice, Isl

  • Bound by a Billion Dollar Marriage   Chapter 88: Stupid and Wicked

    My fingers... every single one hurts...Isla drifted back to consciousness slowly, choking on a cloud of dust, lungs struggling to draw a full breath."Cough cough!" A rusty, foul stench filled her nose and mouth, nausea rolling through her instantly.She forced her eyes open to a tilted, disorienting world. Her legs and ankles were bound, and she'd been dumped on the ground like discarded trash.Covered head to toe in grime, only her sharp, alert eyes stayed clear.Kidnapped. Again.Unbelievable. What did I do to deserve this level of luck?Her pulse spiked, panic climbing straight into her throat. She forced herself to breathe slow, to think.Don't let them know you're conscious.Isla shut her eyes again, cracking them just enough to take stock of the space.An abandoned warehouse, thick with dust, sound bouncing sharp off bare concrete walls.Following the voices, she spotted several tattooed men clustered together, smoking, muttering in a dialect she couldn't follow. None of them
