Stacey’s POV;

I stood at Richard's gate, my heart racing with uncertainty. Should I knock or just turn and run? The urgency etched in his voice echoed in my mind, gnawing at my insides.

What could possibly have made Richard to call me like this? Chad couldn't have told him about our secret — could he? I mean, what would he even gain for that?

I raised my hand slowly to knock, only to pull it back hesitantly against my black suit skirt.

No way. I couldn’t do it.

If Chad thought revealing my

  • Bounded To My Playboy Billionaire Boss    Chapter 32

    Stacey's POV;It’s been about a week since the press release where Richard revealed to the public that his mother had cancer. The drugs found in his safe were for her; a truth that sent shockwaves through our world. In the days that followed, as expected, social media flooded with pity posts, portraying Richard as the actual victim reluctantly forced into revealing such a personal matter. I reclined back in my office chair, a soft smile on my face, as the rhythm of normalcy began to settle around me once more but just when I thought I could bask in the tranquility, my phone buzzed insistently on the table.I picked it up and saw it was Chad. The message read, ‘Are we good?’ Instantly, the air shifted, and my heart dropped to my stomach. Memories of my last encounter with Chad flooded my mind, each one sharper than the last. How could I ever forget the anger that had coursed through me during our confrontation? I could still feel the heat rising in my cheeks as if the very moment we

    Stacey’s POV;I stood at Richard's gate, my heart racing with uncertainty. Should I knock or just turn and run? The urgency etched in his voice echoed in my mind, gnawing at my insides. What could possibly have made Richard to call me like this? Chad couldn't have told him about our secret — could he? I mean, what would he even gain for that? I raised my hand slowly to knock, only to pull it back hesitantly against my black suit skirt. No way. I couldn’t do it. If Chad thought revealing my supposed betrayal would hurt Richard, he had another thing coming. After all, Richard and I were merely just faking this whole engagement thing, feelings weren’t involved.I placed my hand on the doorbell again, my palms trembling with trepidation but time I pressed it firmly. The chime echoed like a clarion call in the stillness, and after a few agonizing seconds, the gate creaked open. Taking a deep breath, I stepped inside the vast, luxurious compound. It loomed before me, taller and fiercer

  • Bounded To My Playboy Billionaire Boss    Chapter 30

    Stacey's POV;I arrived at work, my head still reeling from my conversation with Chad the previous day. What was he planning now that he knew about the oxycodone? How would this affect Richard? “It's nothing personal, it's just business,” I whispered to myself, desperately trying to convince my racing mind as I walked toward my cubicle, which was directly facing Richard's office. Earlier, I had felt confident that whatever schemes Chad had in store for Richard wouldn’t faze me, but now, seated across from Richard’s door, I doubted whether I could even look him in the eyes. My heart pounded against my chest at every slight squeak of the door; I was anxious, terrified that he might pop out and catch me off-guard. Nervously, I began twirling the fountain pen in my hand, only for it to slip and fall.As I bent down to retrieve it, I overheard the hushed voices of two girls nearby. “But do you really think Mr. Richard is actually on drugs?” One said, her voice barely concealing her exhi

  • Bounded To My Playboy Billionaire Boss    Chapter 29

    Chad's POV;It had been five days since I abruptly called Stacey out of frustration and desperation, demanding to know what dirt she had dug up on Richard. Three days had passed then since our last meetup, meaning it was now over a week without our usual weekly updates. The anticipation gnawed at me like a persistent itch I couldn't scratch.I sat in my office which was overlooking the city, the open window framing a breathtaking view of the ‘HOLLYWOOD’ sign, glimmering under the sun, a beacon for dreamers chasing fame beneath its shadow. I shifted my gaze back to the file resting before me, my heart racing with both excitement and anxiety. The revelation that awaited me felt crucial, almost pivotal.My decision to quietly order a background check on Stacey was motivated by more than mere curiosity; if I was to engage in any form of business union with her, I needed what I called ‘ammunition’. Something to leverage if she ever attempted to manipulate the situation or me. “Let’s see w

    Stacey's POV;Time slowed as Richard leaned in, his breath mingling with mine, warm and enticing. I closed my eyes, surrendering to the moment. All my restrictions and constraints, shattered under the intense heat of passion.Should I really be doing this? Allowing myself to get this close to Richard? Could I risk everything for this intoxicating connection? Was he even being sincere right now or just being the usual playboy he was?Suddenly, clarity washed over me. I could venture deeper into this unstable, undefined situationship, or I could pull back. I wanted to choose the latter but I just seemed powerless to the intense feeling at the moment, all that mattered was Richard and the electric spark coursing through me. I leaned in closer, my heart thumping loudly in my chest as I prepared to close the distance. But just as our lips were about to meet, a flash of doubt flickered through my mind. What would this mean for us? For the contract? For the delicate line we have drawn? Wh

    Stacey's POV;Richard drove his sleek sports car into the parking garage, the engine humming a satisfied note as he parked. I felt a rush of relief that, at least this time, we were at his house instead of his parents’. But still, I couldn't help but think what this night had in store, the ambiance felt both inviting and daunting. I stepped out of the car, taking in the sight of the impressive array of vehicles lined up in his garage. There were sports cars that gleamed like polished jewels, shiny convertibles that seemed to beckon for a drive under the sun, and a mighty G-Wagon that radiated power. Richard wasn’t just rich, he was super rich. The one percent of the one percent. As we entered the elevator, Richard’s presence loomed beside me, a comforting yet overwhelming closeness. When the doors slid open to reveal his living space, I was taken aback. The elegance of the sitting room struck me; the pristine white walls playing host to luxurious golden chairs arranged in an almost
