All Chapters of My Billionaire Rebound: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ALINAThe lady that was standing behind Theon was drop dead gorgeous, with olive-green eyes that seemed to rival the beauty of nature, and a smile that was so bright the sun glinted off her teeth.He turned around to face her slowly, his demeanor a lot more different than that of the man that I was just now laughing with. I briefly wondered who she was, and why Theon was always surrounded by the most exquisite looking females. Her smile brightened even more. “Aren’t you going to say something, Theon?”Theon forced a smile on his face. I could tell that whoever this woman was, Theon wasn’t very happy to see her. The knot I didn’t even know was in my chest loosened, giving me the opportunity to breathe again.“Casey. What are you doing here?”Her face fell for a moment before she forced the pleasant expression back on her face. “What do you mean? I haven’t seen you in so long and since I heard that you’re in town, I thought that it’d be a good idea to come over and say hi.”Theon’s head

ALINAStaying at home and mulling over the text wasn't something I wanted to do right now. It was bad enough that Casey had shown up here - I didn’t need to be told she was Theon's ex to know that she was, letting someone else ruin my day was something else entirely. Today wasn't going great, but I, at least, had the power to do something about that.My fingers clutched against the wheel every time my mind swayed back to the text, and I had to force myself to drag in calming breaths and ignore the agitation that was threatening to tear me apart.The sound of my ringtone cut through the silence of the car, a luxury vehicle I couldn't fully enjoy right now because my head was in all the wrong places - Zach had been very particular about me using my own car and never driving his. I guess that should have been the first red flag, the fact that I had restrictions that didn’t seem to reach his family.“Hello?” I called into the air, clicking the car’s Bluetooth to put the call on speaker.“

THEONThe moment Casey's lips smacked against mine, I knew what was coming. My blood ran cold, my vision turning red as anger at myself for falling into the very elaborate trap swarmed me.I could practically hear the shuttering of cameras as they went off because even though I couldn't see them, I was beyond certain that they were here. That was what all of this was about.You don't believe me? Then explain to me how we went from exchanging pleasantries to rehashing moments from our past relationship and all of a sudden she's rising up from her seat and having a dizzy spell that puts her in my laps.Nothing? Well, exactly. All of this was an intricately designed scheme meant to wedge a rift between Alina and I, and guess who fell into it like the arrogant prick he was?Yep. Me.I pushed her back with my hands on her shoulders. “What the hell do you think you're doing?“Anger was making itself present, this time directed at her, as she stared at me with doe eyes. “I'm sorry. It was…

THEONThe words that were being uttered at the meeting seemed to be flying over my head. All I could picture was how good Alina had looked standing in my closet with absolutely nothing on, and her eyes shining with annoyance while her hair spread above her like a canopy.It had taken every ounce of control I possessed to not bend her over the drawer and have my fuck some compliance into her, the woman was fraying every one of my last nerves. If the look in her eyes was any indication, she wouldn’t have minded either.“Mr. Murphy?” The sound of my name forced me back into the present.I shook my head and offered the Chinese tycoon a pleasant smile. “My apologies, I got a bit distracted.”He nodded like he understood and repeated himself.“The Chinese market is increasing infrastructurally, and if I'm going to partner with an American company to match that speed, you’d have to be precise and reliable. No excuses. If Murphy Holdings can deliver both speed and quality, we may be looking a

THEONThe door to my office creaked open slowly, after I had ignored the knocking that came from it for the third time. I already had an idea who it was, but that didn’t stop me from rolling my eyes as Ava's head popped in through the small space.“For how long do you plan on hiding out here?”She stepped into the office and clicked the door shut behind her. She knew I didn't want to talk right now, it was pretty much apparent from the look on my face, but that didn't stop her from dropping onto the sofa at the other end of the room and plopping her heeled feet on the armrest.I decided to not give her a response, but when has that ever deterred Ava?“Look, Theon, the grouch thing is only appealing for so long, and believe me, you’ve already exceeded the limit for that.”I raised my head, locking my eyes on hers. “Good thing I wasn’t trying to seem appealing to you.”She rolled her eyes. “You know damn well that I'm not referring to myself.”“Do I?” I mumbled.I didn’t want to have th
