All Chapters of Mister Billionaire’s Treasure: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I remained staring at the closed door long after Reign had walked out, as though the word he left behind had not yet fully settled inside my mind. A party. Out of all the things I expected from him, that was the last. I had only just recovered enough to move without every bruise protesting, and now he suddenly wanted me to accompany him somewhere as though I were part of his plans all along. The thought itself made no sense. Reign had spent the last days keeping me inside this mansion under constant watch, ordering doctors, maids, and servants around me as if I were both prisoner and responsibility, yet now he was announcing that I would leave this place at his side. I could not understand whether he wanted me there as decoration, as a companion, or as some kind of silent display to the people in his world, and every possibility unsettled me more than the last.I was still trying to make sense of it when a hand landed unexpectedly on my shoulder, and I nearly jumped out of my skin. My

I stiffened in my place, and for a few terrifying seconds I could not even feel my own breathing. The gunshot that rang outside seemed to split the whole yacht apart, its deafening echo crashing against the cabin walls until my ears buzzed painfully. My knees weakened beneath me, and I stared blankly at the closed door while my fingers tightened around the knob I had been about to turn. My mind was moving too slowly compared to the chaos unfolding around me. We were supposed to be heading toward the party Reign had mentioned, sailing somewhere in the middle of this vast ocean, so why were there gunshots outside? Why did it sound as if people were firing at each other just beyond this door?Before I could force my frozen body to move, another loud bang exploded from somewhere above, followed by hurried footsteps and shouting voices that I could not fully make out. Fear climbed mercilessly into my chest, and my heart began pounding so hard that it felt painful against my ribs. I took one

“Get another lifeboat ready,” Reign ordered while checking his handgun and cocking it with a swift metallic click that made my already trembling nerves tighten even more. I was still sitting on the rubber floor of the inflatable boat, soaked from head to toe and barely recovered from nearly drowning, when he turned toward me and reached for my right arm. His grip was firm yet unexpectedly gentle as he guided me to stand, perhaps noticing that my legs were still weak from cold and shock. Then he lifted his eyes toward his men and said with that same commanding voice that no one in his circle ever dared question, “We will hold the enemy here. Protect my woman.” The last two words hit me harder than the crashing waves. My woman. Heat climbed embarrassingly into my face despite the freezing seawater clinging to my body. I did not know what was more confusing, the danger surrounding us or the fact that he kept referring to me as though I belonged beside him.“Yes, boss,” one of the men resp

When the speedboat reached the shore, Reign stepped down first and planted his feet firmly on the wet sand as though the rocking waves beneath us had never existed. The blood still running down his injured arm did not seem to weaken him at all. He continued holding the gun in his left hand while stretching his right hand toward me, waiting for me to take it. For a moment I simply stared at him because I still could not understand how this man was able to remain this composed after being shot, after fighting in the middle of the sea, and after swimming through freezing water as if all of it had been a casual inconvenience. In the end I placed my hand in his, and he helped me down from the boat with ease. The moment my feet landed on the shore, his hand slid to the side of my waist and gently pulled me closer until I was standing almost against him.I looked up at him in surprise, but Reign did not even glance at me. His eyes were already on the people waiting in front of us. I wanted to

“You look stunning,” Reign said the moment I stepped down from the last stair and reached the marble floor.I lifted my eyes toward him and saw that he was already waiting near the dining area. He had clearly just finished bathing because his hair was still damp and small strands rested carelessly over his forehead. He was no longer wearing the formal clothes from earlier but had changed into a mint green shirt and faded jeans. The casual clothing should have made him look less imposing, yet somehow it did the opposite. He looked younger, but there was still that same dangerous authority surrounding him, and his deep blue eyes were fixed on me as if there were no one else in this vast hall except the two of us.My gaze unintentionally slipped to his lips, and the memory of what had happened between us beneath the sea struck me so suddenly that warmth rushed straight to my cheeks. I quickly forced my eyes back to his, silently cursing myself for even thinking of such a thing. Ever since
