The Billionaire's Daring Kitten No Second Chances
Ruby's POVDominic's men grabbed her arms and forced her to her knees in front of us, earning a startled yelp from her. She wasn't bruised or bloody, but she looked like someone who had not slept in days. Her dress was wrinkled and dirty and her hair was a tangled mess.Dominic crouched and lifted her chin with two fingers. "You have no idea how much I want to kill you right now." He muttered.Surprisingly, she did not flinch. Instead, a slow, eerie smile crept across her face. "There's nothing you could do to me that Gabriel hasn't done ten times over," she whispered. "I'm not afraid to die."I folded my arms. "Then why did you do it?" I asked. "Why did you pretend to be someone else just to get close to me? Why did you lie to me, to us?"She sighed and closed her eyes for a moment, like she was pulling the words from deep inside."Because Gabriel made me," she admitted. "I never ever wanted to hurt you, Ruby. I just needed the key. That was all. I needed the key and the wealth that

Dominic's POVRuby wasn't speaking.She sat beside me in the car, sitting so still that she looked and felt like a stone statue. Her face was turned toward the window. This stuff silence was unlike her. Usually, she filled car rides with stories or offhand remarks, but now she just watched the streets pass by. The breeze lifted strands of her red hair, catching the light from the street lamps."Penny for your thoughts?" I asked.She blinked and turned her head slightly. "Oh, nothing much. I was just thinking about what happened back there. I was wondering if I made the right choice."I patted her thigh. "Whatever choice you made, I’m with you. One hundred percent."She exhaled and nodded. "Yeah, thanks."But the distance was still there. It sat between us like a third passenger. She was still thinking about many things, and I was not sure what to do to help ease it.So I tried to shake her out of it. "How about dinner? I know a good Italian food place downtown. They make really great

Ruby’s POV"You guys look far from ready!"I peered into my phone, where I was having a FaceTime with Ariana and Lilac. It was the night of the fundraising dinner.Ariana was in her room, fluffing her curls in front of her mirror. She has a black skincare mask on. Lilac was lying on the floor in her pajamas."Oh, we'll be ready soon." Lilac replied and rolled her eyes. "Not everybody takes two and a half hours to get ready like you do, Ruby.""And I'm the better for it." I snorted. "You guys had better not waste my time."“Ruby, you’re a lifesaver,” Ariana said, twisting a strand of hair around her finger. “Seriously. Without you, I’d never get in.”Lilac sat up and then stood to her feet with a groan. “Then you’d never see your dream guy again.”Ariana sighed and threw her head back. “Can you not lay into me like a kid?”I chuckled. “Wail all you want, but Lilac is right. If you don’t at least get his name tonight, we’re going to join hands and beat you up.”Ariana gasped and clutche

Ruby’s POVLilac, Ariana and I split. I could hear the conversation of different people as I walked past them, the clinking of glasses and the hum of a jazz band playing in the background. None of it mattered. All I could think about was what was coming next. I slipped into an empty table near the corner of the room, took out my phone and texted Estelle. ME: I’m here. Left corner, near the bar.ESTELLE: On my way.I exhaled sharply and leaned back. My fingers drummed against the table as I looked around for any sign of red hair. I grabbed a flute of champagne from a passing waiter and threw it back in one go. The burn did nothing to calm me. Then I saw her. Estelle approached my table wearing a white dress, her red hair pulled into a ballroom bun. She looked really elegant. I stood up and reached out for a handshake. She arched a brow, then pulled me into a hug instead. As she hugged me, she whispered into my ear. “Don’t ever try that with me again.” I let out a breathy

Gabriel’s POV"Well, that was a waste of a night."I took a drag from my cigarette and blew a puff. Smoke curled toward the ceiling. That was the only thing in this room that moved without fear. The taste of nicotine was no longer calming my nerves. Six of my men stood in front of me, beaten, battered and broken. One had a black eye that was so swollen he could barely see. Another one cradled his wrist, bent at an ugly angle. A third one was pressing an ice pack to a jaw that was so swollen he couldn't talk. The other men were no better. Julia had fed them lies and walked them straight into a beating. I took another drag and exhaled slowly. My chest burned, but not from the smoke. I was angry. I was so angry that I knew I would not be able to control her if I saw her. I should have known better than to trust Julia. She came home from work a few nights ago, all breathless and eager, and told me everything. She told me how Ruby had the key, how she and Dominic were going to some

Ruby’s POVThe car ride was too quiet. Ariel sat beside me, but she wasn't saying anything, which was unlike her. Her arms were crossed and her lips were pressed together. The streetlights outside flashed over her face, and I saw the worry on it.“Are you okay?” I asked.She shrugged. “I guess.”I waited, but she stayed silent. That wasn’t like her. “What’s on your mind?”She exhaled sharply and stared at the roof of the car. “What’s happening? Why did we have to leave the dinner so fast?”I gave her a small smile. “Nothing you need to worry about, Ruby. Your father just didn't want us to stay too long at that place.”"Oh, give me a break!" Her eyes rolled. “I am not a child, Ruby. I know my dad is always dealing with dangerous people. It's in his line of work.”I shifted in my seat. "Well...."“That’s why my mom died." She continued. “Because of the kind of people he worked with. They wanted to get at my dad, so they killed my mum."I hesitated. She looked at me like she already knew

Dominic’s POVRuby pulled back. Her lips were parted, her eyes searching mine."Why did you do that?" she asked."Don't blame me, Nurse Ruby." I let out a faint smile. "Dizziness from the injury."Her brows pulled together like she didn’t believe me. Before she could say anything, footsteps sounded from the hall. We both turned.Ariel stood in the doorway with her arms crossed. She lifted a hand and waved it lazily. "Oh, don’t stop on my account."Ruby let out a breath and ran a hand through her hair. I turned back to my daughter. "What are you doing awake by this hour?"Being disorganized, I didn't realize she left before.She leaned against the doorframe. "Your lousy car woke me up.""It's lousy because six men were tearing It apart." I frowned. "And you never wake up for that."She shrugged. "I had a restless sleep anyway."I studied her. There were faint shadows under her eyes. She wasn’t lying.Ariel’s gaze dropped to my arm. "Are you okay, dad?""Yeah." I nodded. "Ruby handled t

Ruby’s POVThe smell of coffee pulled me from sleep. I blinked against the morning light and turned to the side to see Dominic sitting beside me. He was eating breakfast in bed. He lifted a forkful of scrambled eggs and grinned."I figured the smell would wake you up," he said. "Thought it’d be a nice way to start your day."I groaned and smacked his arm. "You are a villain in my life!"He chuckled and waved another fork heaped with some bacon close to my mouth. "You want some?"I rolled my eyes and sat up. "I don't like you, Mr Rutherford."Dominic smirked and bit off the bacon. "Are you coming to work today? You know I’d understand if you needed some time off, after everything that happened last night."I didn’t even need to think about it. "No. I'm not staying away from work."He raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that, Ruby?""Staying away will give nasty people like Rosalie the chance to talk all kinds of trash about me," I muttered. "And I can't have that."Dominic sighed an

Ruby's POV“Ariel, stop moving! I can’t fix your hair if you keep squirming!”Ariel groaned dramatically, tossing her head back. “I swear, Lilac, if you pull my scalp one more time...”Lilac scoffed, not even looking up from the curling iron in her hand. “Then what? You’ll go out there with lopsided curls? Please.”Ariana snickered from where she was wrestling with a stubborn zipper on a garment bag. “She has a point, Ariel. Just sit still and suffer through it like the rest of us.”I laughed as I stood in front of the mirror, carefully stepping out of my wedding gown. The dress slid off my body, leaving me in just my underwear as I reached for the dinner dress waiting on the hanger.“God!” I sighed, rolling my shoulders. “That thing is gorgeous, but it weighs like two elephants.”Ariel turned to me and arched a brow. “You chose it, Stepmom. Can I call you that?”"Please, don't."Ariana laughed at the look of horror on my face. Lilac clapped her hands together. “Okay! Ariel, you’re do
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Indeed Goodbye
Dominic's POV“You son of a bitch! I’ll kill you, Dominic! I swear I’ll kill you!”Ambrose’s face was twisted with rage. He looked like he was ready to throttle me to the ground and beat me up. Spit flew from his mouth as he screamed. I didn’t flinch at his numerous threats. I didn’t even blink.I just laughed right in his face. The man really thought he could outsmart me.Ambrose's fury only increased. Like I predicted, he lunged forward at me, but my men raised their guns instantly, stopping him in his tracks. He knew better than to test them.Still chuckling, I turned to one of my men. “Put my daughter on the phone.”The man nodded, pulling out my phone which was with him and dialing Ariel’s number. He placed it in my hand as the call connected.It rang loudly twice, then the screen lit up with her face. The agonizing breath I had been holding since realising she was in danger finally left my lungs. I felt like I could breathe with ease again.Ariel was safe. Damien had saved her l
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Defeated
Ambrose's POV“To Dominic Rutherford, the man who lost everything in one night!”A loud cheer erupted around the long dining table as glasses clinked together. Laughter filled the room, bouncing off the cracked walls of the old Château Beaumont. The air smelled of whiskey, cigar smoke and greasy pizza. My men were in high spirits, stuffing their faces and drinking like kings. Seven of them were the seven other convicts that I had escaped with.Sergio, one of my more talkative men, laughed with a cigar dangling from his fingers. “I still can’t believe it. The great Dominic Rutherford, completely wiped out overnight.”Another man chuckled, slapping the table. “That’s what happens when you play a game against Ambrose Vandyke. You lose.”I took a slow sip of my drink. “He thought he was untouchable.” I shook my head, smiling. “He should have learned by now. No one is untouchable. Not even him.”More laughter.Another man spoke up. “And his little Hollywood princess, Ruby. That one who act
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten A Broken Young Lad
Dominic's POVThe apartment was quiet. The kind of quiet that wrapped around a place when no one had been home for hours. I sat in the darkness with my gun in hand, my thumb tracing the cool metal absently.I was waiting for him.The only source of light came from the faint glow of the city bleeding through the curtains. Shadows were thrown across the walls, shifting slightly whenever the wind moved the blinds.Brandon was taking his time, and I was slowly losing my patience.I could have gone after him sooner. I could have tracked him down, dragged him out of whatever hole he was hiding in, but that wasn’t what I wanted. No, I wanted this. I wanted him to walk in, thinking he was safe. Thinking that after everything, he still had a place to return to.Because that was the cruelest part of it all.Brandon was a young man of twenty three. He was still naive enough to believe that there was a way out of this. That he could betray Ariel and walk away with his hands clean. No, the sins of
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Rescuing Ariel
Ruby's POVThe car was quiet, but the silence wasn’t comfortable. It was the kind of silence that left you agitated and jumpy.I sat in the front seat beside Damien, staring at my phone. The time read 11:49 PM. It had been almost fifty minutes since Dominic sent us the location that Ambrose had given him.Fifty minutes that felt like a whole lifetime. We had been waiting here for that long.I wrapped my fingers around the phone and peered out of the window. Ambrose had promised to let Ariel go, but I didn’t trust him. At this point, I couldn't see anything in the foggy, moonless night that showed that Ariel had been released.The Ambrose I had known growing up had been a reliable man, someone I once looked up to. But the Ambrose of the past five years was a different creature entirely. He was a scary monster. A man who had ruined lives, destroyed families and now, kidnapped an innocent young woman just to threaten her father.I was sick of it.I turned my head slightly, glancing at Da
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Done Deal
Dominic's POVI curled my hands into fist so hard that my nails bit into my palms. Every single cell in my body screamed at me to put a bullet in Ambrose’s head, but the image of Ariel tied to that bomb was burned into my skull.I had no choice. I couldn't put Ariel's life at risk. I just had to take his word for it. Ambrose grinned, watching me wrestle with the decision. He thrived off this, watching me break under his thumb."It's really heartwarming to watch a father willing to do anything for his daughter." He mused. "Including giving away all the assets that he'd spent almost twenty-five years gathering. Personally, I can't say I am willing to go to that length for any child of mine."I swallowed my pride and spoke through gritted teeth. “I have the signed transfer papers in my car. I’ll hand them over to you, but you’ll tell your people to deactivate the bomb first.”Ambrose hummed, rubbing his chin. “That’s a tempting offer, Dominic. But I have one condition.”I glared at him.
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten A Dire Situation
Dominic's POVThe tires screeched as I sped down the empty road, towards the outskirts of the city, where Illinois met Missouri. That place was all trees and forest and shrubbery, and that was where Ambrose had set the location to meet with him.Trees blurred past in a mess of green and shadow. Even the sky overhead was growing darker by the minute. It was almost night. The signed contracts sat on the seat beside me. It was a last resort. A bluff. I had one final plan up my sleeve, and if it didn’t work, I knew I would be walking into my own grave. I just had to make sure Ariel was out of harm's way before doing it.I had told Damien and the others not to follow. I told them I had it under control. It was a lie. But I couldn’t risk Ariel’s life by bringing an army with me.Ambrose wanted me alone? Fine. I’d give him exactly what he asked for.The road stretched on endlessly, winding deeper into the forest. Eventually, the GPS told me to stop. The location Ambrose sent wasn’t accessib
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Ticking Time
Dominic's POVThe second I heard Damien’s voice outside the door, I bolted upright.Ruby gasped beside me, scrambling to find her dress. “Shit, shit, shit!”“Ruby?" Ariana’s high-pitched voice rang out. "We're coming in!”“No, you’re not!” Ruby hissed, fumbling with the zipper on her dress. I yanked my shirt over my head, hopping on one leg to get my pants back on.It was like some ridiculous game, one where losing meant our friends walking in on something they would never let us live down.Just as Ruby managed to smooth out her dress, and I ran a hand through my cornrows to look somewhat presentable, the door opened.Damien, Ariana and Lilac walked in, stopping just past the doorway. One look at the messy bed, the slightly disheveled clothes and Ruby’s flushed cheeks, and they all knew exactly what had happened.Damien’s eyes moved from the unmade bed to me, his eyebrows raised in amusement. “Really, Dominic?”"We were gone for forty five minutes!" Lilac exclaimed. "You guys couldn't
The Billionaire's Daring Kitten Needed Distraction 2
Ruby's POV Naturally, all I wanted was to argue.... until his fingers brushed up my thighs. When he got to the end of the road, he stroked my pussy gently. I closed my eyes as his breath warmed my delicate skin. My head went back, my hands clutched the pillows. He won. So it wasn’t my life. I might as well enjoy myself.The warm breath on the very edge of my thighs narrowed and then it was his lips. The tip of his tongue, licking, nipping.A fingertip slid slightly inside me, moving slowly, just teasing me with the promise of things to come. He nibbled one thigh, then the other, increasing the pressure against my clit so slowly I had to thrust up against him.He moaned at the movement, rewarding me by concentrating on the one spot with tiny circles.The nibbles stopped. He used both thumbs to spread me open. I held my breath as he found my clit with the hardened tip of his tongue.I gasped and my hands moved to the back of his head, fingers running through his thick, dark cornrows. I
