Billionaire's Perfect Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

My feet halted as I slowly turned around.“She’s not with me,” he spoke sincerely, putting the glass down.“You want me to buy that?” what the fuck did he take me for?“Believe me or not, Maddox, but that’s the truth," he snarled. "We sat for a while and talked a bit. But that's all. She told me after a while she wasn't feeling great. I offered to drop her home, but she refused outrightly. So, I just got her a cab instead.”I was too staggered to comment on what he said. Something weird was happening inside me. I tried to ignore it.A deep frown etched upon his forehead as I approached him and punched him in the face.He hissed, rubbing his jaw. “What the fuck was that for?”I grabbed him by the collar and tugged him closer to my face, wanting nothing more than to burn him alive. “For deliberately ignoring my calls. Don’t do that ever again, Josh. Or I swear, I’ll kill you for real.”* * *It was midnight by the time I made it to her apartment. With jittery fingers, I rang the doorbel

I swallowed really hard, wheezing, the chill in the room causing me to shiver ever so gently. A little annoyed that my chest was on complete display now. Ugh, I hated this situation. Naked. Cuffed. And sweaty as hell.Not able to think of any other resort, I tugged harshly on the cuffs, hissing when the metal cut through the skin.“Stop it!” I heard Maddox shout. “You’re hurting yourself.”But it was as if I had to do what he asked me not to. I tugged on them harder, almost turning my wrists red with the harsh friction.In one swift motion, a pair of hands arrived and released the cuffs from the posts of the headboard. I quickly scrambled to sit up. Only to realize my hands were still cuffed. I was just not tied to the bed anymore.It was still better, though. I could at least cover myself. Speaking of which—I bent by the waist to grab the sheets and pulled them over my shoulders.“Are you done?” he asked, annoyed, no more squeezing his balls to relieve the pain I might have caused. I

[ARMONICA]“Wait, wait, wait—slow down first. I can’t understand a word you just said.” I sat up straighter the instant my phone rang and Zara’s half-panicked, half-furious voice blasted through the phone.“You need to come here right away!” she shouted over the phone and I had no choice but to move the phone a little away from my ear, flinching. If she continued to scream like that, it wouldn’t take long before my ears bled rivers.“OK. OK.” Despite not being aware of the kind of emergency she might have gotten herself into, I hopped off of the couch in the living room and rushed back to my bedroom to grab my car keys. I dropped them in the bowl while changing for the shower.“But you still need to tell me what happened, Z. I’m kind of panicking here. Are you alright? Should I call Brandon? Wait—no, he isn't here,” I cringed nervously. “Sorry, I for

[ZARA]“Are you sure this is a good idea?” I asked Armonica as she pulled up the car in front of an enormous mansion. Damn. Whoever owned this place sure had an extravagant taste."Pretty sure!” she grinned, her eyes sparkling as she moved out of the car and waited for me to catch up.With a deep breath, I drank in the glorious sight in front of me one more time and finally got out.After Maddox left me to deal with that embarrassing situation, I swore to teach him a lesson. A lesson he would never forget. A lesson about boundaries and lines he should dare never cross. How could he do that to me? The fucking bastard! Leaving me naked and cuffed and vulnerable. How I gathered up the courage to ask for help, only I knew the pain and shame that caused me.I could have called mom for help, but that would’ve made her suspicious and worried. I wasn’t sure if I had the stamina to deal with all her concerns right now. It was better to keep her out of this, anyway. I couldn’t afford to hurt her

“Yeah. Mr Gracias is here. Not sure when he came home but I think he might have been the one to chase away the hooligan. Although I was already coming up to check up on you, he asked me to request your presence if you’re feeling up for it. He probably wants to make sure you’re doing alright. Nothing to be worried about.”“Oh, I’m not worried about him,” I brushed off her concern with a wave of my hand. It was just….didn’t Armonica say he wouldn’t be back until Saturday? What was he doing here this soon?Not that it was my business to mind. It was his home. He could leave and arrive at any hour of the day. How the hell did that matter to me?“Are you willing to come?" pulling me out of my thoughts once again, Susan asked. "You don’t have to if you don’t—”“No. It’s fine. I’ll come with you," it would be rude to not show up if he had asked for my presence. After all, it was because of him I was able to avoid Maddox until he was gone and I got more time to get out of this contract situat
