Lahat ng Kabanata ng Nelson de Vedra: The Outcast Billionaire: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

I smiled sweetly as I breathed in the fresh air. It felt so good and light, feeling the cool breeze on my skin again. The same breeze that used to greet me every morning."Welcome home, Dorry," I said softly. She smiled gently.She looked deep into my eyes and took in a breath of the island air. "Home..." she murmured, then glanced around.Returning to the island felt like coming home. Memories came rushing in—some joyful, others painful, but all of them meaningful to our journey as a couple.Everything began here. This was where we met, where our broken hearts found healing. And this was also where we faced failure and bore scars we thought would never fade.“This is indeed home,” Dorry said, wrapping her arms around me from behind. Together, we admired the beauty of the island from the yacht we were on. We hadn’t even docked yet, but our eyes were already full from the stunning view. The sea was so clear, sparkling under the sunlight.“I missed this place…” I whispered, inhaling dee

As the boat pulled away from the island, Jac couldn’t stop smiling. On the shore, Nelson and Dorry stood wrapped in a quiet kind of love, one so effortless it almost didn’t seem real. Jac wasn’t part of that world anymore, but seeing their happiness? That was enough.Still, as the island faded into the distance, something settled in his chest. He had been there through every step of Nelson and Dorry’s journey. Now, it was his turn. Nelson had said it himself—the storm had passed. The chapter was closed.And for the first time in years, Jac wasn’t anyone’s bodyguard. He wasn’t the man in the background making sure everything ran smoothly. He was just Jac. Free, untethered. No commands. No responsibilities. Just silence, salt air, and space to think.He leaned back against the boat’s edge, eyes half-closed, letting the wind hit his face. His mind drifted to the life he’d left behind—years spent beside Nelson, guarding his world like it was his own. He’d given everything, not out of obli

"What did you give in return—your body?"Those were the exact words that came from the lips of Romeo’s mother—the man I love.I fell for someone whose world was far from mine. And this... this was what I got in return. Cruel words and humiliation. The worst part? I couldn’t even defend myself.After all, I was just a simple jeweler, working at one of the branches of Jouel Corp., their family-owned diamond jewelry company, where Romeo happened to be my manager.We’d only been together for a month. And on our one-month anniversary, I met his mother for the first time.If I had known this would happen, I would’ve never accepted Romeo’s gift.A stunning, expensive necklace, at the cost of my dignity.I tried to talk to him. Tried to ask why he didn’t say anything... why he didn’t stop her. But Romeo didn’t utter a single word. He wouldn’t even look at me.What started as a beautiful, love-filled day turned into swollen eyes and silent sobs. I didn’t even bother saying goodbye. After work,

I protested, grabbing the wrist of the person who had just yanked my arm, struggling to pull away from his grip.But my drunken haze vanished the second I saw his face.My cheeks burned, and my voice caught in my throat. His eyes… they were blazing with fury.“Romeo…” I breathed out his name, almost in disbelief.“What the hell, dude? Let her go!” the other guy shouted, yanking me back toward him.Romeo’s jaw clenched tightly before he forcefully pulled me toward him. I felt like a helpless rubber band stretched between two raging lunatics.“Let go of me!” I cried out, fighting them both.With every bit of strength left in me, I tore my arms away from their hold, only for my knees to buckle, slamming painfully against the pavement. But instead of helping me up, Romeo stormed toward the guy who had just tried to steady me.“Stay the hell away from my girlfriend!” he yelled, throwing a hard punch straight at him.The guy’s eyes widened as he glanced at the blood now smeared on his finge

Romeo’s eyes sparkled with pleasure as he took in the lovely scene before him. He stiffened, swallowing hard several times.I should’ve made sure he was gone first. He’s like a tiger just waiting to pounce on me. I smiled shyly as I tried to cover myself with whatever I could grab.It’s not like I was completely naked. I was wearing a nightie. The problem was… my two little cherry tomatoes were very visible. And that’s exactly where this man’s gleaming eyes stopped—completely frozen.I love this man… but I want to poke his eyes out right now!With a pillow shielding my body, I stood and walked toward him. I grabbed the shirt from his hand, slipped it on, and dragged him out of the room. Good thing he didn’t resist as I pulled him downstairs.“Take care, love.” I pushed him toward the door and opened it for him.He blinked and stared at me, dazed. Really dazed. “Is that why you threw a shirt at me? So I’d leave?”Idiot! That’s what he thinks? I wasn’t even sure if I should respon
