All Chapters of Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Alessandra's POV “Rex was arrested,” I whispered into the phone. “How close were they this time?” I asked “Too close for comfort,” the voice on the other end replied. People like to say I’m dangerous, but they have no idea. When I started making Nexus, it wasn’t for power or fame. It was a way out. I knew if I perfected it, I could sell it. And if I sold it, I would have enough money so Alex and I could disappear. We could run away, change our namesand vanish from our father’s reach. But money wasn’t enough. I needed protection too. That’s when I started selling to the Yakuza . They weren’t as big, but they were loyal. They didn’t know what I looked like. I made sure of that. All our communication went through an untraceable email, and I sent their shipments using masked couriers. I never expected Nexus to outsell cocaine. But it did. Everything changed when I moved the lab to somewhere bigger . During the transfer, the prototype for Omniscient went missing. Then I found out t

Alessandra's POV Well…..happy engagement to me. I haven’t understood a single word anyone’s said to me since this whole thing started. Everyone’s been speaking in rapid Italian, Russian and maybe even something else I couldn’t place. I’m pretty sure a bald man called me a goat. That’s my translation, anyway. But considering how Lia kept smiling like everything was perfectly normal,he definitely didn't. I know it's weird that I don't know the language by now but I always felt like learning would mean I was going to be stuck here in this life and I really didn't want that besides......So .It was probably a good thing I didn’t understand half the conversations tonight....I didn't care enough to want to know. I don’t even want to talk about the 'How Well Do You Know Your Fiancé? game' I got zero. Compared to the Barbie trio....who I overheard were part of Jeremy’s orgy group—they scored a perfect ten. I should’ve been embarrassed but honestly, I’m kind of proud of them. I

Alessandra's POV Alessandra.Killian kept fucking my mouth the whole call. I couldn’t hold back the tears.....they finally came, streaming down as he kept going. He didn’t stop until he came, filling my throat. When he finally pulled out, I swallowed. Only then did I let myself breathe again. It took a minute before killian finally turned the lights on I blinked through the sting in my eyes and I froze. It was a bedroom. But not just any bedroom. The bed was massive, made of dark wood, with four heavy pillars carved with rough patterns. Chains hung from the top. Real chains. My heart thudded in my chest, too fast, too loud. what were we going to even do here...... “Get up” he said. I stood without thinking. He stared at me for a long time. Something unreadable moved behind his eyes—anger, pain, possession... I couldn’t tell which would win. “What happened tonight?” His voice was low. Dangerous. “Nothing happened,” I said quickly, but my voice cracked. “It was j

Lia's pov. I woke up with a fright. It was cold but not the type of cold that came from the air,it was the type that settled under your skin. The kind that told you something was off. I reached out beside me, but Ronan wasn’t in bed with me .... But it wasn’t him I was worried about right now I reached for my phone,it was five a.m it's very early must people would be sleeping but certainly not him .... I would call but he would prefer texting Me: Hi, honey. His reply came almost immediately. Killian: Hi. A small breath left my chest. I didn’t realize I’d been holding it. Me: How are you doing? Are you alright? Killian: I’m alright. His responses were always so short and straight to the point......So much like his father it made me happy sometimes .... other times I just wanted him to say more to me I hesitated, then typed again. Me: Just make sure you’re okay. If something’s wrong, come home. Please. There was a pause this time. Just long enough to make

Killian's POV. Kill me now. It was a bachelor party. I should’ve been spared. But no—somehow, I got roped into planning something for Jeremy. Ronan kept suggesting over-the-top venues and private islands like we were trying to throw the Olympics. I shut that down fast and went for a simple casino night. Low effort. Low noise. I could drink in peace and triple my income at the same time. Win-win. Luke, of course, called it boring. He talked Jeremy into switching things up. A quiet bar, he promised. Something casual. It wasn’t casual. The place wasn’t loud, but the waitresses were strippers dressed like bartenders. Everything short of a pole. I didn’t mind them being there. None of them came close to my Ale. Not even a bit ...not even a little......But they were touchy. That part I minded. One of them was leaning in now, hand on my forearm like she had a right to be there. I was just about to down my shot when I felt it ..... honestly it was irritating my muscles tensed before t
