Bound to the Cruel Billionaire Chapter 44: Bound
The city blurred past the limousine’s window as Mikael sat alone in the back seat. His expensive suit felt stiff and uncomfortable, like it belonged to someone else entirely. He had left the hospital without any real plan, just with a deep emptiness inside him. All the anger and desperation that had been driving him for weeks had suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a hollow silence that was somehow worse.'She doesn't remember me.'The thought didn't just pass through his mind. It hit him physically, like a punch to the stomach. It was the feeling of the ground giving way beneath his feet, of suddenly not being able to breathe properly. Mikael Vireaux, a man whose name was known throughout the city, a man who could influence markets and destroy careers with a single phone call, had become completely invisible to the one person who had ever truly mattered to him. He had been erased from her life completely.He closed his eyes, but the image of her was still there, burned into his v
Bound to the Cruel Billionaire Chapter 43: Boy
The scent of antiseptic clung to Raven like a ghost that followed him from the hospital into the damp city night. Raven walked aimlessly as the roar of traffic became a distant hum against the roaring in his own head. Thalia. Her eyes, trusting and broken, were seared into his memory. He had told himself to protect this woman, but it felt like a promise made to his own ghost.He found himself standing before the door to his small apartment above the bakery. The familiar, comforting smell of yeast and sugar felt like a memory beneath the hospital's chemical stench that still clung to his clothes. He fumbled with the key, opened the door, and stepped inside. The silence of the empty space pressed in on him, full with memories he usually kept at bay.He didn't bother with the lights. He sank onto the worn leather sofa, the leather cool against his skin, and closed his eyes. The darkness didn't bring peace. It brought the past.Back then, Raven was a boy hiding under the heavy oak tab

"What...is he talking about? I don't understand...my head hurts..." Thalia's voice was a weak whisper, her brow furrowing in confusion and pain. Her eyes darted between Mikael and Keith, searching for something familiar, but finding only strangers.Dr. Evans immediately intervened, her voice firm yet gentle. "Sir, please stop. It's not the right time. Please, both of you, I need you out of here." She stepped between them and Thalia, creating a barrier with her presence.Keith, his expression of hurt and disbelief, looked at Thalia with pleading eyes. "Thalia...what about me? Did you...forget about me too?" His voice was barely above a whisper, as if he was afraid to hear the answer.Thalia's breathing grew heavier, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She managed to meet Keith's gaze, while her own eyes were filled with a sincere but distant confusion. "I have no memories of anyone...all I remember is my husband..." Her voice trailed off, her eyes drifting back to Raven, as her exp
Bound to the Cruel Billionaire Chapter 41: Disoriented
The hospital room was bathed in the soft glow of morning light, filtering through the sheer curtains. Thalia's eyelids fluttered open, revealing a world that felt both familiar and foreign. The beeping of machines, the faint antiseptic scent, and the cool touch of the sheets beneath her fingers were the only things she was certain of.As her vision cleared, the first thing she saw was a man sitting by the window, facing her. He was dressed casually yet elegantly, in a crisp button-down shirt and tailored slacks. His hair was slightly disheveled, giving him a cool, relaxed vibe. There was something comforting about his presence that seemed to radiate from him. And she liked the way he appeared to her."Husband?" Were the first words that came out of her mouth, startling the man. "Why do you look gloomy?" She smiled weakly through the oxygen mask.The man, taken aback, immediately stood up and called for the doctor. "Doctor! She's awake!"In just a few seconds, the door to the room swun

"Why are you here?"Keith froze with his hand halfway to the door. He turned slowly while his face became a mask of pure, unadulterated rage. The question was so absurd, so monstrously arrogant, it stole the breath from his lungs. He turned around and took a step toward Mikael, his hands clenching into fists at his sides, his entire body vibrating with a fury so violent it felt like it might tear him apart."Why am I here?" Keith repeated, his voice a low, dangerous growl. "You have the audacity to ask me that? You're the reason she's in there! You're the reason her life was a living hell! You don't get to stand here and play the concerned lover, you son of a bitch."Mikael didn't flinch. He just watched him calmly before he replied. "You have no idea what you're talking about.""I know everything!" Keith snarled, closing the distance between them until they were inches apart. The smell of expensive cologne and barely restrained violence filled the space between them. "I know what you
Bound to the Cruel Billionaire Chapter 39: Emergency
The condominium was a like a black hole, swallowing all light and sound. Keith hadn't moved from the spot by the window for what felt like eternity.It had been hours since he’d stumbled through the door, calling her name, only to be met with a silence so loud it feels deafening. Hours since the cold dread had seeped into his bones, turning his blood to ice. This was her space, too. Her scent was still in the air. Her scent that left a faint trace of lavender and clean soap, and it was driving him mad.He kept checking his phone, while his hands trembled so violently it was a struggle to even hold it. Every buzz, every chime, sent a jolt of adrenaline through him, followed by the crushing wave of disappointment when it wasn't her. He’d called his men, his voice tight and commanding, barking orders into the phone like a general sending his soldiers into a battle he couldn't fight himself."Find her. Check the train stations, the bus depots. Just find her!"But the calls that came back
