Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 145. A Threat Wrapped in Paper
"Is something wrong, Ben?" There was no answer for a few seconds—long enough for Valeria to think he’d fallen asleep—until she heard a heavy sigh on the other end. "It’s late, Val. I should probably get some sleep. Tell the twins I said hi. Talk to you later," Ben said before hanging up. Valeria stared at her phone screen, which now showed a photo of Ethan, Emily, and the twins—Oliver and Olivia. Her brows furrowed. What was that just now? She shrugged and decided to let it go. She’d ask Ben the next time he called. Her thoughts scattered when she saw Sean walk through the door. Sweat glistened on the side of his face, and concern instantly filled her chest. She rushed over to him. As if sensing her presence, Sean looked straight at her. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and pulled her into a hug. Valeria’s heart skipped a beat. It took her a second to realize that Sean was holding her tightly, like he never wanted to let go. She could’ve pushed him away, but some part of

Valeria waved at the taxi driving off with her coworkers inside. They waved back with smiles and little cheers before disappearing from sight. Letting out a small sigh, she walked through the front gate. The corner of her lips lifted when she saw Lily and Sarah playing in the yard with the kids. Lily had a satin scarf tied over her eyes, chasing the kids who were laughing and running in all directions. “Mom!” Olivia shouted the moment she saw Valeria. The little girl ran over and jumped into her wide open arms. Oliver, Emily, and Ethan followed close behind, giggling. So, she had four kids now, huh? She and Sean had talked earlier that morning in the car when he drove her to work. They’d agreed to keep a close eye on the kids at all times. Sean had been hesitant at first about letting Lily get too close to them—and to be fair, his concern wasn’t totally baseless. But after Valeria reassured him there was no real reason to be suspicious of Lily, he finally gave in. He even called
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 143. The Man Who Confuses My Heart
Valeria quickly looked away, stopping herself from staring at his lips any longer. She silently scolded herself. “Cut it out, Valeria. He’s got someone he loves and he’s a dad. This is wrong. Totally wrong!” “I’ll go get a blanket,” she mumbled, walking away from him. Once there was enough distance between them, her mind started to clear up again. Sean confused her, and she hated that feeling. He wasn’t just a married man, he was also the one who let her and the kids stay in his house. She wasn’t supposed to feel anything for him—so why did her heart seem to think otherwise? Valeria shook her head quickly, trying to push the thought away. This is just because I haven’t been around men in so long, she told herself. That’s all it is. She stepped into her room and went straight to the bathroom. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she sighed when she saw her flushed cheeks. She turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face, then patted it dry with a towel. After that, she

Valeria watched him carefully. The moonlight lit up Sean’s face, making every flicker of emotion clearly visible. She paid close attention to every word he said, then swallowed hard when she noticed his pupils were almost black. His jaw was clenched so tight that she could hear his teeth grinding. His fists were balled up, and his whole body started trembling, his face turning red from trying to keep his emotions in check. In her heart, Valeria made a mental note: never make Sean angry. “How did you know?” Sean asked through clenched teeth, his voice hoarse. Valeria cleared her throat before answering. “The first time I met Oliver was at the café. He was alone, so I went over to talk to him. After a bit, he said he was hungry, so I offered him a brownie. When he reached for it, I noticed blood on his sleeve—and then I saw the bruise on his arm.” She took a deep breath before continuing. “At first, I thought maybe you were the one who did it. But after getting to know you, I real
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 141. Reasons to Stay
“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, curious. Valeria’s eyes widened and she quickly shook her head. His blue eyes held a playful gleam that made her even more annoyed. She rolled her eyes and looked straight ahead again. Thankfully, her heartbeat started to settle down, but her breathing still hadn’t caught up. Every time she inhaled, she could smell his cologne—and without realizing it, she leaned in slightly to take in more of it. As soon as she realized what she was doing, she sat up straight, pulled away a little, and sneaked a gl
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 140. Autumn and Unanswered Questions
It had been two weeks since Valeria moved into the Andersons’ house. So far, everything was going pretty well—at least for the kids. They seemed happy. The house had more than enough space for them to run around and play. Olivia and Oliver seemed even more mischievous than usual. With those two being as clever as they were, and Emily’s innocent face, the four of them made the perfect team for causing all kinds of little chaos around the house. Their poor babysitter always ended up being their target. Sometimes, she even had to run out of the bathroom screaming for help. Valeria, on the other hand, finally felt like she was getting the sleep she’d been missing for so long. With Saran or Lily helping out with the kids, she could actually sleep in a bit in the mornings. Three days ago, Sean had started coming home earlier every evening to spend time with the kids. He’d sit and watch them play in the backyard, and those moments always felt... nice. By “them,” it wasn’t just the kids.

"I'm still mad because you haven't told me everything," she said, glaring at Sean. Sean gave a faint smile and looked at her. "Really?" he asked, tilting his head. Valeria opened her mouth to respond, but no words came out. She looked away, knowing that Sean's gaze could make her lose focus. That was why she couldn't reply immediately. "Yes!" she finally found her voice and stuffed the remaining pancake into her mouth. All manners forgotten. "Val..." Sean cleared his throat. "I brought you here because Emily and Ethan seem more comfortable here. At least Emily likes it, and I don't want them living somewhere that makes them unhappy. Here, they can do whatever they like. They also have friends, Olivia and Oliver, who can keep them company while you're working at the hotel. Besides, Olivia and Oliver are lonely here too. So, it's a win-win situation." He had a point, if this was really about the kids, but it wasn't entirely true. "First, Sean..." Valeria began. "Ethan and Emily act
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 138. The Way He Looks at Her
“Sir,” Blake greeted, and Sean gave him a brief nod in return. “Where is he?” Sean asked, rolling up his sleeves. He was going to make that man regret ever taking Jenna’s house. “Right here!” Blake said, swinging open the heavy metal door. Sean gave a cold smirk when he saw the man sitting in the middle of the large room. His lip was swollen, a big red bump sat on his forehead, and the shine from his bald head reflected under the light. He looked around nervously, sweat dripping down his face. Honestly, he didn’t look like a criminal—more like a dumb scammer who got in over his head. Sean walked over and sat in the wooden chair across from him. The man stared at him in confusion, but the fear in his eyes was obvious—and it made Sean smile. Yeah. Feel that fear. “Why am I here?” the man asked with a rough voice, glancing around. Security guards in black pants and black shirts stood in every corner of the room, arms crossed over their muscular chests. “I don’t know. You te
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 137. When Jenna Comes Home
Sean gripped the steering wheel tightly. His knuckles turned white from the pressure. What the hell was going on? He thought that man was already in jail. How could someone who was supposed to be powerless still launch attacks from the shadows? Unless... unless this had all been planned from the beginning. Originally, Sean planned to give Jenna the space to live her life freely while slowly getting close to her again, without pressure. But now, with news that the suspect in the attempted murder case against Jenna was out—and with one strange incident after another hitting either Jenna or Valeria—Sean realized he had no other option. He had to act. He had to bring Jenna back into his reach and protect her, no matter the cost. His jaw clenched as he thought of Blake, the detective he’d hired to handle Jenna’s case. He needed to talk to him as soon as possible. When the traffic light turned red, Sean slowly stepped on the brake. His eyes shifted to Valeria, sitting quietly in the pa
