All Chapters of My Billionaire Rebound: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

THEONI didn’t even have to ask to know that Alina wasn’t at the hospital right now. The breeze of noise was present in her vicinity, but it wasn’t that tension-laden kind that floated along the walls of the hospital.The small breaks of silence also weren’t that sterile kind that sapped the life out of patients. This was someplace else, and the piano that just started humming in the background is proof of that.“Where the hell are you?” I asked before I could stop myself.There was a long pause, and I half expected her to tell me that it was none of my business – she would have been right too. Instead, she heaved a sigh and spoke in a voice that held hints of exhaustion.“I’m on my way home.”Something melted inside of me and I let my eyes drop closed. What the hell was wrong with me?“What’s wrong? And don’t tell me nothing because something obviously is.”“Can we talk about it when I get home?”Reluctantly, I agreed to let it go and we ended the call. My phone pinged with a notific

ALINAThere wasn’t a single word I could think of right now that would successfully describe how I felt with any form of accuracy. My heart galloped in my chest like a horse in the rodeo games, panic chasing down any form of common sense that I still possessed.I could only stare at the illegally handsome man in front of me; the way his black curls dropped over his forehead in a sensually boyish way, blue eyes twinkling with unmistakable genuineness as he watched me closely.My throat bobbed in a swallow, then another, and finally my gaze lowered to the floor.A single finger slid underneath my chin, lifting my head up slowly. Our eyes met again, and I swear, zings of electricity raced through my soul.“Don’t hide from me anymore, princess.” The second nickname he had given me just made my knees feel weak, a sense of pleasure shooting through the very marrows of my bones.His gaze didn’t waver, not even slightly. All of his defenses were gone, and in its place was a rawness I have nev

THEONThe mood in the room diffused faster than a popped balloon, going from one hundred to zero with just the blare of my ringtone. Alina’s expression closed off, the heat of our desire dying a swift and painless death.I touched her arm and she turned to face me, her eyes no longer shining with want like they had been just a moment before.“She’s at your door.” The words were soft but they held the punch of an accusation.My fingers pushed her hair behind her ear and I lowered my lips to her forehead in an affectionate kiss. “I have no idea why that is. Let’s go find out together, okay?”She looked like she was going to argue, so I leaned in and planted a kiss on her perfectly plump lips.“Don’t go cold on me. We both know I didn’t ask her to be here.”Her chest expanded with a sigh. “Okay.”I linked our fingers together and padded over to the door. Pulling her to a stop, I unlinked our fingers and took a step to be in front of her before I pulled the door open.“Oh, Theon.” Casey c

THEONMy eyes kept moving between a sobbing Casey, who still had her phone pressed desperately against her ear, and the stairwell that still stood proudly empty. Something was definitely going on between Alina and Tatiana, it was obvious in the way she stared at the phone with hard eyes while it rang. That and, it was the unyielding ringing of the phone that had prompted me to check out what the hell was going on in the kitchen.The sound of my own ringtone forced my attention away from the stairs this time and I reached into my pocket to grab the device. “Hey,” I called into the receiver as I clicked the accept button.“Hey, bro. I was thinking of inviting you out for a few drinks, but I think joining you at home for some dinner would be a better idea. Want to come let me in?”As if on cue, the doorbell went off. I groaned long and hard as I walked over to the door, throwing it open to find a grinning Bryon on the other side, a bottle of 1787 Chateau Margaux in one hand, and what loo

ALINAThe cart in front of me rolled slowly as I perused the cheese aisle, unsure of which one to pick – or maybe I was just lost in the storm that was brewing in my mind.What if Theon had no plans of attending the Beylis auction and I had just gone and made a big fool out of myself? What if instead of putting her in her place, my words just served as proof to Mandy that she was right about me and I was nothing more than a clueless, plain Jane who would never fit into the elite world?A groan parted my lips and I buried my face in my palms. This was a disaster in the making. A huge one.“You know, I think you’re beating yourself up over nothing,” Tati said from beside me.I raised my head in shock; she wasn’t here just a moment ago. Our eyes met and she flashed me a grin before she reached for the cheddar, grabbing a block and a bag.My brows knitted in a frown. “You’re not reading my mind.”“Why would I have to when you have a ridiculously expressive face?” she teased.I groaned aga
