Ruin me, Mr Billonaire 126
Lavanda PovI am on a bed covered up with linen sheets—the type used in a hotel room. My body is all covered up.My neck and arms are completely bare; I wasn't wearing any clothes. My hair looks awful, scattered everywhere, and red lipstick is smudged on the pillow.I don't wear red at all. That night, I had made absolute sure not to put it on.My notification lit up my screen with a text from Desmond: Think I am still lying?How could he even do this? How could he look at this and pretend I did it to myself? I was drugged. I could barely remember a single fragment after that night. The only solid memory I had was Desmond’s text luring me out under the guise of an apology.He had done this. It had to be him. First, he forged my signature; now, he was using a manufactured scandal to weaponize my past against me.With trembling fingers, I zoomed in on the man lying in the bed beside me. He looked completely knocked out, too. A digital sticker had been deliberately plastered over his fac

Ainsworth She leaned against the car, spinning her car keys. One more word and the truth comes out about me, about Red. I can't bear it if she hated me; I don't want to tell her."I wasn't a good man to you," I repeated the words once more to make sure they stuck."Don't compare yourself to my ex-husband. He's doing this on purpose," she responded. "You hid the truth from me for a reason. I don't think that's an attribute of a bad person."I kept my mouth shut and refused to say anything. It's better this way; the truth is better left unsaid."Stay. Don't go, then," I told her. "He's not worth your energy.""You won't tell me how to fight my demons, Ainsworth," her voice rose over the top. "He's tarnishing my image online, and it needs to stop, or else people will think it's true.""Let them think. I know the real you," I placed my hands on my chest. "I have seen the woman behind that mask.""No," she shook her head. "It's different. I have a company that depends on that image." She

The court session had been long, stretching hours past what my frayed nerves could comfortably endure, and by the time the heavy doors finally swung open to release us, I was completely exhausted. At the end of it all, nothing concrete had been concluded. We were merely there to present our arguments, lay our cards on the table, and let the magistrates deliberate while the judges continued going through mountains of legal briefs and testimonies. I let out a breath, wrapping my arms around myself against the chill of the courthouse hallway, when a familiar shadow fell over me. "I got you water," Ainsworth said, his voice cutting through the murmur of reporters and lawyers. He was slightly out of breath, having jogged back from the vending machine. Without a word, I snatched the cold plastic bottle from his outstretched hand, unscrewed the cap with trembling fingers, and gulped the water down greedily, letting the cool liquid soothe my parched throat. His eyes were all over me, track

"No... you are leaving," I choked out, the words catching painfully in my dry throat as tears welled in my eyes once more. "And I don't know what to say to keep you from going."He reached up with a gentle, agonizingly slow motion and touched my cheeks, his thumb wiping away a stray teardrop that had escaped down my skin. "There's nothing you or anyone else can do to stop me, Lavanda," he whispered, his voice thick with an emotion he could no longer hide. "I love you, Mama Bear. I always have, and I always will."Before I could process the depth of his confession, he stepped in close and pulled me into his arms. My slender body was pressed firmly against the solid weight of his chest, surrounded by his heat, his familiar cologne, and the heavy, rhythmic thud of his heart against my cheek. It felt like an anchor in the middle of a raging storm, but I could feel the invisible sands slipping through my fingers.I stood there in his embrace, paralyzed, utterly helpless. I didn't know what

let my spoon drop back down against the porcelain surface of my plate with a sharp, heavy clatter that made the silverware shudder. "Lisa, I... I just can't right now." Her bright, perceptive eyes narrowed slightly with childlike suspicion. "Why not? Are you two fighting again? Did you have an argument while you were out?" I didn't want to say anything to burden her—not yet, not while her entire world was still so fragile. So, avoiding her searching gaze, I reached out with a trembling hand, picked up my phone from the tabletop, and dialed his number. It rang just once before he picked up on the other end. "Mama bear." His rich, familiar voice filled the tiny speaker of the phone, and for a few breathless seconds, my throat tightened so much I couldn't even speak. Hearing him like that made me realize just how profoundly I already missed his warm presence filling the empty corners of the house. "Come back home," I managed to say, my voice softening despite my best efforts. "W

Lavanda Pov "He is twice the man you will ever be, Desmond," I replied, my voice slicing through the tense, air of the cafe with absolute, unyielding conviction. I looked straight into his deceitful eyes, refusing to flinch or show a single ounce of weakness. "Ainsworth is the only real father Lisa has ever known, and no piece of paper, threat, or courtroom stunt is ever going to change that immutable fact.""Did you ever think for a second that I never loved my own daughter?" Desmond screamed at me, his face twisting into an ugly, mask of wounded pride and sudden, fake outrage that made my stomach churn with instant sickness.Ainsworth immediately stood up from the wooden chair where he had been quietly sitting, his tall muscles tensed and coiled like steel springs, ready to step in and launch into a violent confrontation. But I reached out, my hand flying to his chest to stop him."Don't," I murmured, shaking my head. "Don't try to waste your precious time or energy on him, Ainswo
