Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Little Monster: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Chapter 61 Rachel's POVThe days blurred into one another, a continuous cycle of meetings, conferences, and closed deals. Yet, amidst all the chaos, there was something new in the air,something that sparked between J and me, unspoken but crystal. We were spending more time together, both in and outside of work, and the lines between professional and personal began to blur. I had never thought of myself as someone who formed bonds quickly, but with J, it was different. It wasn’t like I was trying to be close to him. It was more like everything around us seemed to draw us together. We started attending meetings as a team, traveling together to conferences, and sitting next to each other in every room we walked into. My presence next to him felt natural, like we had always been this way. I hadn’t expected it to be like this,so easy and comfortable.At first, I thought it was just another business arrangement, but as time passed, I began to realize I was looking forward to our time tog

Chapter 63 Rachel’s POVThe night felt like it lasted a lifetime. The weight of the decision I had made,or rather, the one I had refused to make,kept pressing down on me, suffocating me with every passing moment. I had always known that Jeffrey was dangerous, that his ambitions had no limits, but tonight, the depth of his cruelty had shaken me to my core. The vial of poison still lingered in my mind, its contents a silent threat that echoed in my ears. I could hear Jeffrey’s cold words repeating over and over again, like a sinister whisper: “You’ve already chosen. Now, you will finish what you started.”I couldn’t shake the feeling of impending doom, of being trapped in a web I didn’t know how to escape. The very thought of hurting J, of betraying his trust after everything we had built, made my stomach churn with disgust. But as much as I told myself I wouldn’t do it, I couldn’t ignore the fact that Jeffrey would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. He had made that clear.I lay

Chapter 65Rachel’s POV“Let’s return home for today,” J suggested, leading me back to the car.I immediately refused. “No, there’s still so much work to do.”“I can’t let you do that in this state,” he mumbled.I watched him take the key from the chauffeur. “I’m driving.”J carried me to the front seat beside the driver’s side, got in, and drove us home.The drive was silent. J fixed his attention on the road but kept glancing at me now and then.When we got home, I stepped out of the car on my own, refusing his help. I made my way into the house, enduring the pain until I reached my room.Behind closed doors, I gently took off my red heels and stared at the bruises.Just then, a knock came on my door. I walked over barefoot, and as I opened it, I stiffened slightly—it was J.“What are you doing here?” I asked.“You won’t be needing this?” he scoffed, lifting up the first aid box before walking into my room without waiting for an invitation.I stood at the door, staring at him.“Are

Chapter 67Rachel’s POVWe sat quietly around the table, eating in silence. The last time we had a normal family breakfast—especially on a weekend where everyone ate without talking about business—was probably before I got married to J. Honestly, I had never witnessed it.I raised my eyes slightly, and my gaze met J’s. I looked away immediately. I had been feeling humiliated ever since I burst into tears right in front of him last night—without even giving an explanation.Mr. Frank suddenly cleared his throat, and everyone turned to him.“You should all get prepared. Our wedding is in a few days,” he reminded us.We all nodded without saying a word.Sarah turned to me shortly after. “Ellen, you're coming with me later to pick up my wedding dress at the store.”“Alright, Sarah,” I mumbled.Breakfast ended, and I returned to my room since it was the weekend. I was lying on the bed when a message suddenly came in from Jacob:“Good morning, love. I hope you had a splendid night. Don’t for

Chapter 69J’s POVThe fluorescent light hummed quietly above me as I stepped out of the elevator, heading back to my office. It was already past business hours, but I was still at work, sorting a few things out.The moment I arrived at reception, my receptionist—who had a frown across her face—immediately straightened up, forcing a smile. I had personally asked her to wait behind after closing hours while I worked.I was about to return to my office when I halted and turned to her. “Where’s Ellen?”“She left earlier,” she replied. “I overheard her talking about a date. I think that’s why she left.”“A date?!” Liam freaked out in my ear.For a minute, I had forgotten I was still on a call with Liam and hadn’t ended it.“Alright. You can clock out now,” I said to her and walked into my office, then sat down.“You’re really not bothered about your wife going on a date?” Liam asked, sounding curious.“Of course not,” I mumbled.“So what if someone actually asks her out? You’re still okay
