Claimed By My Billionaire Boss Chapter Nine: Safe In His Arms
‘If Ryan wasn't outside…then who was sitting in that car?,’ Sophie thought. ‘And right across from mum’s window…(gasps) Mom!’She rushed to her mum’s room again.A gust of wind blew in through the open window.‘Open window?’She could have sworn she closed that window before leaving.A quick eye search around the room showed that everything was normal.(Buzz) Her phone's screen lit up.‘That was just a warning’ She stared at the message until the words began to dance.‘Someone had been here’ Her breathing sounded too loud in her ears.Behind her, the monitor continued its beeping.Mrs Richards remained asleep.Unaware of the danger that she was in.Vulnerable to the maniac who was using her condition as leverage.Her chest rose shakily with relief.At the thought of the text message, fear settled deep in her stomach like ice.She swallowed hard and walked slowly to the window again.The black car was gone.“Sophie, what's wrong?” Jerome asked.He was leaning on the doorframe.His g

The phone slipped from Sophie’s trembling hand and onto the floor.Jerome’s eyes immediately narrowed.“Is something wrong?”“Um-no, you startled me”He gave her a long stare before finally shifting his eyes to her lips.“Why’re you here?”His eyes snapped up to meet hers.She looked away timidly.She’d been warned to ‘be a good girl’.She has no other choice but to play along—if she really wanted to save her mother.She bent quickly to pick up the phone but Jerome reached it first.Her breath stopped.For one horrifying second, she thought he could see everything.He held out her phone and she grabbed it from ii him.The screen had gone blank.She let out a loud sigh, catching Jerome’s attention.“Is something wrong?” He repeated.“I’m fine, just tired. Why’re you here?”He searched himself for what to say.Matter of fact, he had no idea why he was there. He thought about her and drove the miles to see her.“I forgot something,” he lied.His eyes remained fixed on her face like he wa
Claimed By My Billionaire Boss Chapter Seven: Trapped Between Love And Threat
Sophie’s hands trembled as she stared at the message on her phone. Her throat went dry.No.No. That didn’t make sense.She put down her phone and glanced toward the entrance. Jerome hadn’t returned yet.Her mind raced.‘Who knew?’She didn’t have any friends.She hadn’t even told anyone about her meeting with the Kens. ‘Not even Mum. Nobody knew about it at the time. Except…(gasps)’‘…Jerome’Her heart skipped violently at the thought.‘No…’ she whispered, shaking her head. ‘It can’t be…’But the doubt had already planted itself deep within her chest—and it made her heart ache…burn.‘All this time?’She let out a raspy laughter.She should’ve known. She should’ve known that she was a nobody.Jerome made her feel special and she fell foolishly—why would he want to have anything to do with her?.She sank back into the chair, her chest rising unevenly.Maybe she was just overthinking things.Maybe this was all a coincidence.But deep down, she knew better.Jerome had been too kind…to
Claimed By My Billionaire Boss Chapter Six: Not A Stranger
"Sophie Richards!” Sophie turned around to find Shelagh approaching her menacingly.“What do you want?” Sophie asked, arms folded.By this time they were all at the entrance door; Shelagh walked very close to Sophie but was stopped by Ryan who stepped in between them.“We both know you do not fit in this lifestyle Sophie. Jerome will dump you in a bit no matter how hard you try to seduce him and replace me” an evil grin formed on her lips.Sophie walks around Ryan and closer to Shelagh.“Look around you Shelagh”, She began “You forced your way here. You are the one trying to fit in here. So I’d advise you to leave my husband and I to our privacy”“(Laughing maniacally) your husband Sophie?, you know- -you’re really good at fantasizing bu-““Sweetheart” Jerome stepped in, his hand was on the small of Sophie’s back. “Let’s go in. Ryan, take care of this nuisance” Sophie inwardly face-bumped herself ‘did he just call me sweetheart? Or am I having a weird dream?’ Her hand felt very s
Claimed By My Billionaire Boss Chapter Five: Being Covetous
'Be careful'? She tried to make sense of the message she'd been sent."You might get a headache if you keep your brows furrowed like that for another hour"Mrs Robinson was pouring her another glass of milk"(sighs)Mrs Robinson, (whispering) you must trust the Kens very much""I've had no cause not to. (Hesitates) why do you ask Miss?""Oh, nothing, just trying to trust them myself""If there's an issue, you know you can always go to Sir Ken right""(scoffs) yeah sure""Are you ready?"Sophie stood up with a frightJerome's tall frame stood gracefully at the top of the staircase--already in a black suit; the jacket did little to disguise the broadness of his shoulder and firm chest,Sophie was done eating in less than an hour and so they both headed to her mother's hospital. None of the drivers went with them except Ryan, Jerome's bodyguard.“Thank you sir, mere words can't express how grateful I am to you” She said staring at Jerome. He looked at her, she was not pressed against the

She quickly pushed Jerome off her and moved as far away from the couch as she could.Ryan averted his gaze, cursing his stars for coming in at the wrong time. 'I'm a dead man' he cursed under his breath.He stared at his boss who was just few steps away from him."I didn't mean to boss...I didn't know you were busy, otherwise I swear I'd have waited""Ryan," Jerome's voice was as calm as usual "wait for me downstairs"Ryan's run made Sophie stifle a chuckle."Funny huh?" "What? I..um..I just-""You'll want to re-apply your gloss"Her face flushed a bright red matching her swollen lips; She bent her head slightly, staring at the floor with faked interest."Jerome," he looked at her bowed head and imagined all the things he'd rather have it do other than looking at the floor 'I'll take out the marbles if she continues to look at it like that'"What's wrong?""Um..I'm not sure why Ryan was scared but...I-i know he's really good at his job from what I've seen so far"He stared at her wit
