Bound to the Cruel Billionaire Chapter 33: Love and Lies
(FLASHBACK A FEW DAYS AGO)Thunder cracked overhead as Kael’s black car tore into the circular driveway, tires skidding across the rain-slicked stone. The mansion loomed in the background, its gothic silhouette lit up by a flash of lightning that seemed to cleave the sky in half.Before the engine stopped rumbling, the driver’s side door slammed open. Kael emerged, drenched in seconds, his soaked coat clinging to his tall frame. But his fury burned hotter than the storm. His eyes locked onto the backseat.He then wrenched the rear door open and yanked Alina out by the arm. She shrieked, stumbling out into the torrential downpour.“Kael—Kael, stop!” she cried, slipping, her heels catching on the cobblestones. Her long hair plastered across her face, mingling with the rain and tears.But Kael didn’t stop.His grip was iron, clamped around her wrist like a man possessed. He pulled her mercilessly toward the estate gates, his jaw clenched, face carved with fury.“This is madness! You’re o

Keith stood still for a moment after ending the call, letting Conrad’s words settle. His hand lowered from his ear, but his mind remained fixed on what had just been said. Don’t overdo it. He had no intention of doing so. But as he walked back toward the dining room, the sound of his steps softened, and saw Thalia sat exactly where he’d left her. Her hands were folded on her lap. Her pale fingers were fumbling. Her gaze was vacant, locked onto a fixed point on the table, yet he could tell she hadn’t seen it in minutes. “Thalia.” She immediately blinked once and turned her head toward him. He approached carefully. “I need to tell you something,” he said in a gentler voice before he paused and sat beside the chair opposite her. “Kael Vireaux is looking for you.” Thalia instantly flinched at the mention. The cha

"Played? What do you mean?” Thalia’s voice was thin, almost fragile. She sank back into her seat, trying to steady her breath, but her hands trembled in her lap, and her heart pounded so loudly she feared Keith might hear it. Something deep in her gut stirred. It was as if her instinct was telling her that whatever he was about to say would change everything. Keith sighed, and calmly changed his expression. It was clear he didn’t want her spiraling too far ahead. “We’ll know in due time,” he said evenly. “I’m still putting the pieces together. But rest assured, Conrad and I are doing everything we can to protect you.” He hesitated, then stepped forward and extended his hand. “And… I’m Keith. Keith Callaghan. Sorry for the late introductions.” There was something gentle in the gesture that made her think she can positively trust this stranger. Thalia stared at his hand for a second almost like she didn’t recognize what it meant before slowly reaching out. Her fingers touched h

It was small, barely more than a breath, but unmistakably real.Thalia chuckled.Keith looked up sharply, startled by the sound. He hadn’t expected it—least of all from her.She looked down almost immediately, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of the placemat. “Sorry,” she murmured, her voice still tinged with faint amusement. “It’s just... I didn’t expect that from you.”He tilted his head. “What, the apology? Or the part where I admitted my mother would’ve smacked me in the head?”“Both,” she admitted with a quiet smile, then shook her head. “You don’t exactly strike me as the type of man who lets anyone do that. Not even a mother.”Keith’s lips twitched just barely. “She was the exception. She had this habit of making grown men feel like ten-year-olds. Especially when they were being idiots.”Thalia smiled faintly. That image was oddly comforting.Silence fell between them again. But it wasn’t uncomfortable anymore. Then, with careful fingers, Thalia picked up her spoon again bu
Bound to the Cruel Billionaire Chapter 29: Dinner
The nurse clicked through the hospital system with increasing frustration. Her frown deepened as her fingers slowed over the keyboard before halting completely.“That’s... odd,” she muttered, brows pinched as she leaned closer to the monitor.Kael straightened from his lean on the counter with his eyes narrowing, clearly curious. “What?”“There was an emergency admission logged around that time—female patient, brought in late at night. Wrist laceration. She was treated...” the nurse paused as confusion shadowed her voice, “but there’s no name. No ID. No attending physician registered.”Kael’s expression hardened. “You’re telling me someone nearly bled to death in this hospital and you don’t even have the name of the doctor who treated her?”The nurse swallowed and shook her head, clearly unnerved. “I’m telling you, sir, the record exists... but it’s hollow. Just the basics—timestamp, biological sex, the medications administered. No full intake. No discharge. No digital footprint, noth

“Come in,” Kael said in a low voice as a knock echoed from outside of his study room's door.One of his men stepped inside, rain still clinging to his coat. He looked uneasy, as though he felt like he was about to be executed.“You sent for me, sir?”Kael turned halfway as his eyes narrowed on the man. “Tell me what happened that night. All of it. No skipping.”The man hesitated, then nodded. “It was around one-thirty in the morning. Nana Marie came rushing out of the west wing, screaming for help. We—me and the others ran in and saw her dragging Miss Thalia's limp body. She was unconscious. There was blood all over her wrist, sir. A towel was wrapped tight around it, but it was already soaked through. I'm guessing Nana Marie tried to stop the bleeding with it.”Kael’s jaw locked as his grip on the glass tightened.“She was barely breathing. Nana Marie was in full panic."“And then?” Kael’s voice was strained and clipped. He felt like there was still something missing in the story.Th
