“Don’t scare me like that,” she said, shooting him a sharp look while trying to calm her racing heartbeat. But her heart only beat faster when she heard Sean’s deep chuckle and saw him sit next to her.

Their shoulders touched, and her breath hitched. She blamed the chilly breeze for the goosebumps on her skin, though deep down, she knew that wasn’t the real reason.

“Take it easy, you traitor,” Valeria muttered under her breath to her own heartbeat.

“Did you say something?” Sean asked, curiou

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 170. Finally Yours

    One Month Later Jenna ran her fingers over the white fabric wrapping around her body. The dress she had specially asked the designer to make turned out exactly how she imagined it—simple, elegant. She’d chosen a minimal makeup look, even though the makeup artist seemed to have a slightly different definition of “minimal.” Still, the final result made Jenna look beautiful. Her hair was styled in a bridal bun, pinned with a diamond clip—a gift from the late Karen. Her chest tightened as she remembered her. The door behind her opened, and Jenna looked at the mirror. Alexa stood there with a warm smile. “You look beautiful,” she said, wearing her peach-colored bridesmaid dress. “I always do,” Jenna replied playfully, making Alexa chuckle. “You really do,” Alexa said again as she walked to the bathroom in the corner of the room. Jenna turned back to her reflection. “You miss Karen, don’t you?” Alexa asked when she returned. Jenna gave her a confused look. “You keep touching that ha

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 169. Love, Mud, and a Puppy

    It was a scorching summer day. The kids were home for the holidays, hanging around with Jenna, who was also staying in that day because she had something to tell Sean. But Sean had to head to the office for an important business meeting. “Come home early,” Jenna said as she adjusted Sean’s tie one more time. “Of course. My family’s coming home today. I’ll be back right after the meeting,” Sean replied with a smile, then kissed her on the cheek. It had been three years since Sean started treating Jenna like she was already his, trying to win back her trust. During all that time, he never touched her without permission. Jenna only realized how much he’d been holding back when she once caught him looking really down. When she asked him about it, all Sean said was that he wanted to hug her but chose not to. That day, Jenna hugged him first and gave him permission to finally ease his longing. Even so, they still hadn’t kissed. There had been many chances, and Jenna knew Sean wanted to

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 168. A Love Worth Waiting For

    After Ben's confession, before Jenna could even warn him not to tell anyone about his memory returning, the man had already sent a message to Carter and Esther. And Valeria was sure, by now, everyone already knew. "But... how?" Esther asked with her mouth full of spaghetti. Jenna shot her a look. "When I was kidnapped, I hit my head pretty hard. That impact brought my memory back. I was unconscious for almost two days," Jenna said calmly. Well, Esther hadn’t been involved in the incident, so she only knew what she'd been told. Esther herself had been hurt—turns out her mom was the one behind all this mess. And Jenna had just found out that Esther and Sean didn’t share the same mother. Sean had tried to think of Veronica as his mom, but that woman had hurt him badly. Jenna wasn’t ready to tell anyone yet, especially not Sean. After Karen’s funeral, she’d been grieving. And after that, she’d tried to move on. But now, as she saw him standing in front of the hotel in a black Arman

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 167. Choices of the Heart

    “Mama! Mom!” Valeria’s two kids shouted happily as they ran into her wide-open arms. “Hey!” Valeria laughed softly, hugging them one by one, soaking in their cheerful giggles that filled the air. “How are you, Mom?” Oliver asked, touching her flushed cheek. “As beautiful as you both,” Valeria replied, kissing their noses. They giggled again and kissed her cheek in return. “How have you been?” she asked, smiling warmly at Lily, who was already grabbing her coat and bag. “Mom, we played soccer at school today. I scored two goals!” Oliver said proudly, puffing out his little chest. “That’s amazing,” Valeria replied with a smile. “Mom, I planted a tree today,” Olivia added with a wide grin. “That’s great. Where did you plant it?” “In the backyard,” Olivia said, pointing toward the patio. “Nice. But you have to take good care of it. I’ll show you how to take care of a tree later,” Valeria said. The kids nodded excitedly. Valeria gently patted their heads one by one. “I’m reall

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 166. In the Name of Family

    “Who’s Alice?” Valeria asked. This time, it was Veronica who decided to answer. “That’s me, sweetheart. Just a fake name to hide my identity.” “Then why did that woman call you Alice?” Valeria asked, looking at Alexa. “What woman?” Veronica frowned, then turned to Alexa. “That day, when we were at Sean’s place. I accidentally left my phone on the table, and Jenna answered it,” Alexa replied calmly. “You should’ve been more careful, sweetheart,” said Veronica. “Anyway, Alexa also used that name. But for a different reason. She used it during her charity work.” Valeria looked at Alexa, who responded only with a cold stare and sealed lips. “So it was you who sent me that note? And you’re the one behind that Halloween stunt?” Valeria asked again. Veronica chuckled softly. “Oh, come on! That was such a blast.” “Best Halloween ever,” Clara added with a smirk. Valeria clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, almost drawing blood. “It was so much fun watchin

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 165. The Woman Who Broke Us

    “Blake?” Valeria whispered in disbelief. “Oh, Blake? He’s ours. Why do you think he never figured out who I really was? A real detective doesn’t take that long to uncover things like this. But your guy? He slowed everything down,” Veronica said casually as she pushed Karen’s body closer to Valeria. “We were this close to killing him, just like the other five guys Sean hired. But we made a deal. A little info from the inside doesn’t hurt us.” Valeria gasped. “Karen!” She reached out, grabbing her aunt’s limp hand. “Wake up! Please!” Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Karen’s pale features. The exhaustion carved into her face, those dark circles under her eyes—Valeria’s heart felt like it was being stabbed. “Shut up, you bitch!” Clara snapped before slapping Valeria hard across the face. Pain burned her skin, but Valeria didn’t flinch. She lifted her head and glared at Clara. “What did you do to her?” Valeria asked, her voice sharp. “Relax, she’s not dead,” Clara rep

    Black, it is the color of darkness, of loneliness, of disorientation. This color was Jenna's only companion as she lay unconscious in bed. She could hear a soft beeping next to her, but what stood out the most was the throbbing pain all over her body. Her head hurt like crazy. There was a light

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 100. Mourning

    Black. Sean actually hated funerals because there were so many sad and hurt people, and here he was wearing black to the funeral of the person he loved the most. He still couldn't believe that Jenna was gone. Even though everyone in front of him was shouting 'she's dead', he still couldn't believ

    Sean stood in front of the window in his office and stared at his reflection in the glass staring back at him, confusion and uncertainty clouding his vision. He pulled his coat closer to his body and sighed heavily. He had no idea what he was doing or what was happening to him. He woke up this

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 98. Alone

    Do you know the feeling when a bucket of water with lots of ice cubes in it is dumped on your head without warning and you want to scream, but your breath gets caught in your throat, restricting your vocal cords as the cold creeps into your bones? Yeah, that's what Jenna's feeling right now. No on
