All Chapters of Redeeming the Billionaire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

I never believed that silence could be this loud. The soft murmurs of voices from behind the closed door felt like a sharp blade stabbing my heart, and every whispered word and muffled laugh cut into me deeply.I sat outside the five-star hotel suite with my hands clenched into tight fists on my lap and my nails digging into my palms to distract me from the ache in my chest.Squeezing my eyes shut, I tried to drown the sounds that sounded like the tune of my misfortune, but I heard them loudly, even with my palms clamping my ears.Their moans seemed to only grow louder by the minute, making me wish I could just disappear.This wasn’t their first time, yet every pain hurt like the first. I had witnessed this scene so many times that I should have been numb to it by now, yet I felt like they were tearing me apart from the inside out.

His eyes iced over for a split second.“Firstly, babe, you will learn not to speak without my permission. Most times.
