Stuck between the billionaires의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

“Wow. Isn't this amazing? Yesterday, you were throwing yourself at me like a cheap prostitute, and now you want to blame me? After moaning the whole night like the slut you are? Lucas insulted, his eyes darkened a bit. “You just proved yourself to be that lowly gaslighting prostitute I thought you to be. If there’s nothing more, I would like to leave as I have a lot of work to do than listen to you spew rubbish.” Phoebe couldn't believe her ears as she stared at him in disbelief. “You are a very stupid man. May the heavens punish you for what you’ve done. Karma would surely hit…” “You should save those rants for your father, who sold you into this. And don't you dare act like a saint, like you didn't moan all through the night,” “Fuck you!” Phoebe snapped at him, her eyes a little bigger than usual, with a vein popping right out of her forehead. Her eyes trailed down his sculpted body, and even in her fury, she couldn't deny that it was the hottest body she'd ever seen. And his d

Lucas hurried out of the room as fast as his legs could carry him. But his mind wasn't at ease, with it conjuring the sad images of the woman he'd just left. “Why on earth would I drug a woman to sleep with me? Who even does that?” he mumbled to himself as he got into an elevator, which took him straight to his room. On reaching his room, he hurriedly took off his clothes and headed for the bathroom for a quick bath, pushing thoughts about her aside. He was certain that that was her new tactic to escape from him, she wanted to gaslight and emotionally blackmail him into thinking he did her wrong so that he would let her go. She must be foolish to think that such tricks work on him. Once he was done, he let his hair air dry and got changed into new sets of clothes. He laid on his bed to sleep, after switching the lights off but thoughts about Phoebe came flooding back. ‘But she wasn't acting herself that night and you know it,’ his inner mind mocked. Groaning loudly, he sat

Phoebe woke up with a scorching headache. The rays of sunlight penetrated the room through the floor-to-ceiling window. Even after sleeping for so long, her body felt weak from sleeping the previous night without food. The butler had brought up food for her but in her angry state, she'd refused to accept it and had sent him back to his boss with a message that she'd never come down to the level he wanted her at, no matter what he subjects her to. The butler had looked at her pitifully, hesitating for a while before wishing her a good night. She remembered how hard it had been for her to sleep that night, how her stomach wouldn't stop rumbling. She'd spent the rest of the night beating herself up mentally as to why she'd allowed pride take the better part of her. Lucas obviously wouldn’t care if she starved herself or not, so far as he could still access her whenever he wanted. And once he couldn't anymore, finding another victim wouldn’t be a problem. He doesn't even have to look for o

The makeup artist’s expression was soon replaced with a smile. “We will commence once you are done dressing up,” She said to which Phoebe nodded in approval. She went into the closet where she got changed into the sundress. It wasn't her style but she couldn't deny that it looked beautiful on her, making her feel…extraordinary? As she emerged from the closet, she was greeted with gasps from both women with the artist affirming her beauty. “Gosh, you look amazing! You should be a model,” Phoebe laughed it off as an overpraise, but the artist kept praising her anyway, pointing out the outstanding features of her body that made her ‘perfect’. Marcy stood by the corner, beaming with smiles as the other woman went on nonstop, singing her praises. Knowing that there was no escaping this for her, and the artist wouldn't stop, she concurred. “Yes, the dress looks lovely.” The makeover session seemed to take forever and if not for Marcy who’d taken it upon herself to gist her on differen

Phoebe picked at her food as she felt out of place in Lucas's childhood home, her face hurting from too much smiling. She couldn't wish for anything more than to leave that place.His family seemed to be nice people, talking to her with respect, and she was left wondering if Lucas had told them the truth regarding her. Of course, he didn't as she was here acting like a fiancee, his fiancee. Would they treat her the same way if they came to find out the truth? You can never trust these social elites as they have very different ways of reasoning.“No wonder he has refused to come see us in months. You've been the one keeping him busy,” Lucas's younger sister Tracy, joked as she nudged him with her elbow, giving Phoebe a wink playfully. Sitting opposite them, Phoebe couldn't help but be amazed at their striking resemblance. Same blue orbs, same nose, Tracy was literally the female version of him. She'd been a bit surprised at seeing Tracy as she'd never thought of him having a sister.
