Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 80. Don't Flirt With Men In Front Of Me!
"Why Do We Have To Be So Awkward?" Sean asked, their lips too close together. "Sean, I want us to keep our distance for a while. I think we've talked about this before," Jenna said hesitantly. Sean couldn't resist kissing her and Jenna let him for a few moments before he finally let her go. "Let's go get breakfast," Jenna said and quickly ran out of her room. Downstairs, Lily was busy setting the table for breakfast. The table looked beautiful for a foodie like her with bacon, pancakes, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, sandwiches, bread, butter and toast with coffee and a bottle of juice. "Wow, it feels like I'm having a breakfast party," Jenna muttered. "Well, it's your first day at work, so I thought I'd give you a choice," Lilly shrugged. Jenna sat down in her chair, picked up some pancakes and bacon on her plate, and began to munch. "I like chocolate chip pancakes," she said as she devoured them. "Very good," Sean commented as he sat in the main chair. Sarah and Esther ar

Jenna's fingers are sore from typing all day. Lucy, the secretary, is on vacation, leaving a lot of unfinished work. Jenna has typed and sent emails and replied to 5 invitations with excuses. She has 3 more emails to write and is very tired. Her butt was sore from sitting in that chair for the last 4 hours. She took a deep breath and started typing again, not noticing the darkness covering the sky outside. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even hear the sound of footsteps until the man approached her desk. The man cleared his throat and Jenna looked up, staring into his regretful blue eyes through his glasses. "It's almost six, honey. Let's go home," Sean said hoarsely. Jenna looked down at her desk and saw the emails that were still pending. She had to finish them today if she wanted her workload to decrease tomorrow. Jenna sighed again and looked at him tired and regretful. "I can't. I still have work to do. You can go. I'll be home as soon as my work is do

The next day. "I can't do this," Jenna whispers to herself, taking two steps back. "No, I have to do it," she encouraged herself and stepped forward. She frowned as she once again questioned her actions. Ester just sat on Olivia's bed while Jenna dressed Oliver on the other side. Sean's sister noticed Jenna's actions and made a noise. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Jenna sighed, knowing that she had to do this if she really wanted to know how Sean would react to Alexa when they were close again. After all, wasn't it Sean who had told Alexa that he had to go to a charity event today? It seemed like in his heart of hearts, he really wanted to go with his ex-girlfriend, right? So Jenna dialed her number and waited for the phone to ring. Finally, on the fourth ring, Alexa answered. "Hello sister," Alexa chirped. "Hi, I thought you were going out with Sean tonight," Jenna said hesitantly. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, he has to go to a charity event anyway and he needs a woman

"Good luck." Jenna smiled sweetly. Sean sighed and walked out, looking back to see her waving with the same smile on her face. How could someone's smile comfort you and hurt you at the same time? Usually that smile looked so pleasant, but today that smile made Sean feel angry, ... and very bad at the same time. Sean pushed these thoughts aside and finally stepped outside to take a last look at his room. Instead of her smiling face, a brown wooden door greeted him. He sighed in disappointment and all the uncomfortable feelings he had almost forgotten came back. He swallowed and thought about the first day he saw Alexa. Back then, Alexa was a teenage girl with brown hair in pigtails, a hint of pink on her cheeks, and she wore a white shirt. She worked as a waitress at the cafe where Sean used to hang out with his friends. From that moment on, Sean was attracted to her. Sweet, innocent little Alexa. He didn't know when this little attraction would turn into love. He always tried to

Jenna awoke to the sunlight shining on her face, warming her. She pulled the blanket over her head and turned her back to the sun as it tried to rouse her from her slumber. She was almost back to sleep when a disturbing noise woke her up. Luckily, her alarm was already off or she would have killed it herself. Now that her sleep had been disturbed, it would be difficult to go back to sleep, so she didn't try. She awoke lethargically, rubbed her sleepy eyes, lowered her feet to the floor, and lifted her butt off the bed. Last night she had been too lazy to wear pants, so she slept in a loose t-shirt that only reached to her butt. She went to the bathroom and did her routine, changed into shorts and a tank top, and went downstairs for breakfast. There, Sean and the kids were sitting at the end of the table cutting up apples, and Jenna sat next to him and said, "Good morning." Sean just nodded because his mouth was full. "Good morning, Mom." Olivia and Oliver kiss Jenna. "We're

Jenna looked at his wide-eyed. Auntie? She hadn't seen one in a long time. "Okay, I'll be right down," she said. "Um, baby." Sean called as Jenna sat down in the vanity chair to blow dry her hair a little. Jenna just mumbled in response. "About the news, I didn't know they realized it wasn't you." Sean tried to explain. "It's okay," Jenna replied casually. She suddenly remembered that Sean and Alexa had been hugging on the news, seemingly on the dance floor. "I bought this for you." The man pulled out a blue box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful diamond necklace. Jenna looked at it and smiled. "For me?" "For you, of course." "Thank you." Jenna took it and put it in the wardrobe. "You're not wearing it?" Sean looked disappointed. Jenna smiled understandingly. "It's too fancy to wear every day. I only wear it for special occasions. But I really like it." "Okay." Sean smiled too, and when Jenna's hair was dry enough, she went downstairs to meet her aunt. They walked do

Jenna dusts off her sundress. She puts on flat shoes, applies lip gloss, and smiles at her appearance. She looks perfect. She's so excited about this vacation that just seeing the word "vacation" makes her happy. "Jenna," Lily calls as she comes into her room. "Umm?" Jenna answers, meeting her halfway. "Someone's looking for you downstairs," she says as she leaves the room and Jenna follows. "Carter," Jenna says with a broad smile. His blue eyes look up at her and sparkle as he recognizes her. He opens his arms and Jenna runs to greet him. Carter was her second best friend after Esther. He always took care of her. And even though he had to transfer schools, he always messaged her on social media to ask how she was doing. "How are you, Jenna?" he asked, looking into her eyes. "I'm good. How are you?" Jenna asks, smiling broadly and showing her pearly white teeth. Carter's hair is dark brown, almost black with a touch of silver. He's always dressed neatly and coolly, typical

It wasn't long before they landed in Miami. The hot morning air of Miami hits Jenna as she steps off the plane, considering the flight is only a few hours long. Jenna smiles as she remembers the last time she was in Miami. It was almost 7 months ago. That was when she and Sean decided to come to Miami. To say it was fun would be an understatement. Seeing how much Jenna liked the place, Sean bought a house on the beach, but they never got around to visiting again as they were busy with their respective businesses. Today they are back, but not alone. Jenna has her old family and her new family. "Come on, kids," Karen invites. Two BMWs are waiting for them. We split into two cars. Soon Jenna is in the passenger seat with Esther, Carter and Alexa in the back. Olivia is on Jenna's lap and Oliver is with Esther. Carter is still staring at Jenna, looking at her with an expression in his eyes that's hard to describe. Feeling uncomfortable with his gaze, Jenna turned to him with a r

Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 118. Getting More Confusing
Jenna looked so innocent and beautiful that night. Her purple dress hugged her body gracefully, making her look like a teenager who had wandered into an adult party. Sean couldn’t take his eyes off her. He stood beside his mother, who was deep in conversation with an old friend, but he wasn’t paying attention at all. His eyes were fixed solely on Jenna. His jaw clenched when he saw a man's hand around Jenna’s waist. Without realizing it, his fists balled up. The urge to walk over and yank that hand away was strong, but he held back and just took a deep breath. When the hand finally dropped away, he exhaled too. A faint smile returned to his face. “What’s wrong?” Mrs. Veronica’s voice snapped him out of it. He quickly turned to her, trying to fix his expression. “Nothing!” he said quickly, not even sure what she was asking about. Mrs. Veronica raised an eyebrow, suspicious. But before she could press him further, Sean mumbled an apology and walked off toward the minibar. Away fro
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 117. Baby Shower Party
Valeria muttered under her breath as another taxi zoomed past without even slowing down. “I seriously need to buy a car.” She’d been standing there for almost an hour, yet not a single empty cab had stopped.The cold breeze made her shiver. She hugged herself, regretting not wearing a sweater or something warmer. Her simple purple dress with black floral patterns looked cute, sure—but it was definitely not made for weather like this.“Maybe I shouldn’t have come at all,” she mumbled, staring down the empty street in frustration.She let out a long sigh. The baby shower still had to be attended, even if Ben had said she didn’t need to. Emily said the dress looked great on her, and Valeria couldn’t resist the idea of seeing that adorable little baby again.Suddenly, a car stopped right in front of her. She flinched, heart nearly leaping out of her chest.“Ben?” she gasped, placing a hand over her heart. “You almost gave me a heart attack!”Ben rolled down the window. “You need a ride, o
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 116. Not Going to the Baby Shower
“Bye, kids!” Valeria called out, waving at them as they ran toward the school gate. They paused to wave back before continuing on. Once they were safely inside, Ben started the car and they headed toward the café. “You know, you don’t have to do this every day. I can get my own car,” Valeria said, staring out the window, fully aware of Ben glancing her way as they stopped at a red light. “So I’m supposed to risk losing you again? No thanks,” Ben replied as the light turned green and they drove on. This time, Valeria turned to look at him. “Come on, Ben. That happened months ago. I’m fine now, totally capable of driving myself. You can’t babysit me forever, you know?” she added, turning her gaze back outside. “I can, and I will,” Ben said firmly. The rest of the ride was quiet. When they reached the café, Valeria got out without saying a word and headed straight inside. He didn’t seriously expect her to never drive again, right? She let out a deep sigh, dropped her bag behind t
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 115. The Child she Saw in the Cafe
Ben walked up to her, smiling. She smiled back until she bumped into someone. She looked down and found the same little boy from the cafe. “Oh, it’s you!” she said, crouching. “Mom?” Oliver said with a big smile. The word made Valeria uncomfortable, and she glanced at everyone—especially Alexa. Alexa was right there, so why was the kid calling her “mom”? “Oh! You live here?” Valeria asked. The boy grinned, his missing front teeth making him look even cuter. “I went to Colorado with my dad,” he said simply. Valeria’s eyes moved to the little girl next to him. “And this?” “I’m Oliver,” the boy said with a proud smile. “And this is my sister, Olivia.” Valeria chuckled, remembering how adorable Emily and Ethan could be. “You can call me Val,” she told them. Oliver’s eyes shifted to Ben, who was standing beside her. “This is Ben,” Valeria added. Ben crouched beside her with a mock scowl. “Hey, bro,” he said, then winked at Valeria, making her heart race. Ben chuck
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 114. The Woman Who Looks Like Her
A woman walked, pulling her jacket tighter around her small frame as the cold wind hit her. The click of her boots on the floor was the only sound echoing through the space. She still couldn’t believe her eyes when she found out Jenna was alive. A year ago, she had felt so relieved, thinking she’d finally gotten rid of her. But now the girl was back— that annoying little thing who once clung to their lives like a parasite. The woman turned sharply left and stepped into a dark alley. The path was narrow barely enough for one person to walk through without brushing against the brick walls on both sides. The alley was long and pitch black, forcing her to squint and step carefully. Part of her grumbled at how she couldn’t see a thing, but another part was glad the darkness was hiding whatever creepy crawlies were on those walls. She shivered and almost screamed when something scurried across her $26,000 boots. A flickering bulb at the end of the alley gave her a target, and she ran to
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 112. Constantly Having Headaches
Valeria walked into her apartment, struggling to carry Emily and Ethan who were fast asleep in her arms. "Thanks so much, Mrs. Smith," she said with a grateful smile to her neighbor, a woman in her mid-fifties who lived alone. "It's no problem, dear. You look a little busy," Mrs. Smith said, nodding toward the two kids. Valeria chuckled softly and nodded. "Good night, sweetie. If you need anything, just knock. I'm only a few steps away," Mrs. Smith added with a wink before heading back to her place. That was just the kind of woman. Mrs. Smith was the type who’d open the door with a baseball bat raised high, day or night, always cautious. But deep down, she was the kindest, most caring soul. Valeria smiled, remembering the night Mrs. Smith almost whacked Ben with her bat because Valeria had been late answering the door after a shower, and forgetful Ben had left his keys. Mrs. Smith thought he was a thief. Carefully, Valeria tucked Emily and Ethan into their beds. "Good
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 113. Visiting the Anderson Family Home
When she opened her eyes, she found Ben leaning against the balcony wall, arms crossed, smiling at her so softly it made her blush. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Ben chuckled, walked over, and gently lifted her chin, kissing the tip of her nose. "Because you’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen... after those two little monsters," he teased just as Emily and Ethan’s voices called out his name. Ben groaned while Valeria tried not to laugh. Ever since Ben had confessed his feelings, he never missed a chance to shower Valeria with affection. They spent the morning playing, filling the apartment with laughter that felt like music to Valeria’s ears. "Alright, kids, time to brush your teeth," she said, herding them away as she carried dirty plates to the kitchen. As she started prepping food for the kids, Ben leaned casually against the counter. "Who was on the phone?" Valeria asked. "Mr. Anderson. He invited us to dinner with hi
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 111. Jenna, or Valeria?
A man in a white Armani suit got up from behind his desk and stepped forward to shake their hands. "Welcome, Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Karen. I'm Ben McKenzie," he greeted them with a friendly smile. Sean raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised by the man's cheerfulness, but shook his hand politely anyway. He sat down in the chair across from Ben, while Karen took the seat next to him. "We should start the presentation soon," Karen said, looking at her watch. Ben smiled wider and nodded. At first, nervousness showed on his face, but as the presentation progressed, his confidence grew. Sean was quite impressed with Ben's presentation, but he didn't find much to like. In his heart, he had already decided to decline the offer. Ben was busy organizing his files when his secretary called and someone knocked on the door. Ben looked up from his work and his face instantly lit up. Sean and Karen didn't turn around, assuming it was none of their business. "Valeria, are you here?" said Ben,
Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 110. Signing Cooperation with Ben
Before going to Colorado to meet Ben. Before going to Ben's company, or rather Ben Mckinzie's hotel in Colorado, Sean stood in front of the mirror, pulled his blazer closer to his body and combed his hair with his fingers. He looked at his reflection and barely recognized the figure he saw. His eyes had lost their sparkle and his jaw was sore after months, almost a year, of constantly putting on a fake smile for everyone. But this was his life now, and he was beginning to accept it. With a heavy sigh, Sean moved to close the door to his room. As the door was about to close, his eyes fell on a set of ties lying in the corner of the room. Still, he refused to wear them. Lily, in her own way, left the ties there, as if hoping Sean would change his mind. Lily always said he would wear them one day, but in his heart, Sean knew he would only wear them if Jenna tied them around his neck, and they all knew that was no longer possible. He locked the door and stepped out. Just a few ste
