Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Ruthless Billionaire and I: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Nikolas POVThe sun shone brightly, its rays illuminating the skyscrapers and monumental buildings all around the city. This euphoria felt good all over my body. I adjusted my tailor-made suit as I entered the office.As soon as I reached the lobby, a sudden cloud passing through changed the weather and its' atmosphere. The air became stiffened, and it sent chills all over my spine. From a distance, I saw an elderly, muscular man with an all-white ponytail and checked suit. He was grinning with a calm demeanor but still exuded a sense of authority. This was Don Ambrosio sitting with a burly man in a black suit standing behind him.Immediately, I walked quickly towards him. My receptionists looked nervous as they bowed to me respectfully and greeted me. I casually replied as I reached Don Ambrosio."Good morning Don, I am honored with your visit today." I slightly bowed towards him. He slowly nodded back in acceptance. I moved towards him and spoke gently. "I would have prepared your w

Rainora POVThe next day started on a positive note. I woke up feeling freshen and rejuvenated. I decided to put my worries aside and move forward. Feeling energized, I decided to wear a maroon designer suit and skirt that were among the sets I bought with May. It accentuated my curves and surprisingly boosted my self-esteem.I hope Nikolas likes it. I mumbled quietly to myself. Suddenly, a wave of anxiety washed over me. After dressing up and applying my makeup, I rushed to the kitchen to have a bowl of cereals and almond milk. Just as I took some few spoons of crunchy labeled cereals, I received a text message from Gerald."Miss Rainora, I'm parked downstairs when your ready."Hurriedly, I placed the bowl in the sink and rushed out of the apartment. I took the lift down and met gerald parked infront of the entrance. I casually smiled while gazing at him."Good morning Gerald." He politely smiled and nodded as he started the ignition of the escalade. Over the past few months, I had g

Rainora POVFridayAll the top representatives from Woods Enterprise and Ambrosio Holdings came to discuss the project. It was a construction project proposed to be one of the tallest buildings in the city after completion. Naturally, everyone was interested to see how it would pan out. The office group chat was very active as the news that I will be presenting the idea for the project at the meeting was the topic of the day."I heard Rainora will be pitching her idea for the project. I'm sure she will fall to her knees with shame."That was the consensus of most of the members of the group. I could only think of one person who will benefit from this gossip. Catherine. I felt a lump in my throat just imagining her sinister smile while the entire conference room mocked me.I wiped the sweat that glistened on my forehead as I walked behind Nikolas as we approached the door. Just as we were about to enter, Nikolas slowly turns around and taps my shoulders gently. "Don't be nervous Rainor

Rainora POVThe remaining day remained peaceful like the silence after the storm. I concluded my activities as quiet as possible. I had enough excitement for the week. I mumbled to myself. The sky was dark as the beautiful crescent of the moon shined so brightly with twinkling stars giving an illusive appeal of looking so near yet so far out of reach. I admired the wonderful sight from the roof to floor glass walls that reflected the lights from the skyscrapers around the city.I picked up my bag and headed for the lift. I turned back to check if the lights were on in Nikolas' office but they were surprisingly off.“He usually closes late, I wonder where he went to?” I thought to myself. I regained myself as the doors of the elevator slowly opened. It reached the lobby where I waved goodnight to the security men and the receptionists. They all smiled back and slightly nodded in acceptance. I let a sigh of relief as I was happy to end the day peacefully without anymore surprises. As I

Rainora POVI woke up with a sharp headache. It was an excruciating pain. Also, I had a bitter taste in my mouth, as if I had just swallowed lime. My memories started coming back slowly as I tried to figure out what happened to me."Gerald had a horrid look on his face-" Someone drugged me. I slowly remembered. I was gently aware of my immediate surroundings. It was blurry because a black sack was placed over my head. I tried to free my hands, but they were tired from being up around a pipe. It felt rusty as my bare skin grazed around it. The floor had a cold, dense smell and I could only see a small window reflecting light from the top end corner of the room. There was a dim bulb, which was placed high in the center, giving the room a dull look. I could vaguely see a set of wooden stairs coming down from a shut door. There was loud TV sound of a commentator during a soccer match, while people were shouting and arguing.I yelled out in frustration, "Hey, can anyone help me?" repeatedl
