Semua Bab CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE : Bab 21 - Bab 27

BELLE “You weren't just hired, Belle.” His hot breath fanned my neck, waking every nerve in my bones, as goosebumps rose on my skin. “You're mine.”That is it?I snorted at his words, and whatever I was feeling was instantly replaced with anger.“I'm yours?” I took a step back, leaving a space between us. “Since when?” A humourless laugh escaped my lips as I stared at him in disbelief.“Because the last time I checked, I was just a loose woman who sleeps around and pretends she earned it, isn't it?”A surge of rage coursed through my veins as I recollected the look on his face when he said those words. And now, he thinks he could claim me?Is this all a joke to him?Of course, it is. I was just another puzzle he needed to solve. He couldn't accept me quitting on my own. As if humiliating me wasn't enough, he just had to come here to finish what he started.“Look, you weren't supposed to hear that,” he rubbed his hands on his face and sniffed his breath. “That was fucked. I know I s

AUTHOR'S POV It's the weekend, and Rowan decided to pick Faye up from work since they have not seen each other in a while, and when they do, they end up arguing.“Hey babe, did I keep you waiting?” Faye asked as she slid into the passenger seat.Rowan shook his head, his eyes crinkling at the corner as he replied. “Not at all, I just got here too.”“Oh, great,” she fastened her seat belt as he relaxed a little. “I had a really crazy day. Who would have thought that bitch leaving would only make things harder?” A frown formed on her face as she spoke.“Who are we hating this time?” Rowan chuckled as he listened to her rant.“Who else? It's Belle. Since that bitch left, Mr. Marlowe has become even more cold and sensitive. He fired his fourth secretary today. Can you imagine? It feels like we're all walking on egg shells at the office. Just a breath in his way and you'd be the next to receive his wrath,” she hissed.“Interesting. Do you think he has fallen for Belle? I mean, that would

BELLE “Jamie can't breathe!” Jordan cried, and a forced air escaped my lungs from the outburst. My knees buckled slightly, and my body betrayed me as I tripped. Before I could fall, Rowan lunged forward, catching me by my arms.“Hey… What's going on?” He asked, voice laced with worry.“Mommy…” Jordan's voice crackled through the phone, snapping me back to reality.I straightened instantly. “Hold on, baby, mommy will be right there.” I ran out without another word, my heart pounding, whispering the same line over and over again.Jamie is fine. She will be fine.I kept on repeating the word as I rushed out of the club to find a cab. I stood there for the next five minutes, and all the cabs I saw were already filled.God, please.Just then, a car pulled beside me, and the window rolled down. “Get in,” Rowan ordered.“Now is not the time for your games,” I hissed.“You'll get there faster with my help. Is your kid not in danger?” He asked. I looked around to see if there was any cab com

ZALDEN “Who was that? What's going on?” Panic crept into Andrew's voice.I stood frozen in the same spot, dumbfounded for a while, and the only thought in my head was finding her.“Belle needs me,” I whispered. My voice is barely recognizable.My chest tightened as her words echoed in my head… the desperation in it… ‘Just help me this one time.’“Find out where she is. Now,”I didn't wait. I ran out of the building, jumped into my car, and raced towards her apartment. I'd only been there once, but once was enough.Just as I was watching her apartment from afar, Andrew's call came in. “What did you find?” I asked sharply.“She's at the hospital.”My stomach clenched at the news, and my grip tightened against the wheel. “Which one?”“Your family's hospital.”I spun the wheel and pulled a U-turn, ignoring traffic signs, honks, everything. I didn't care about tickets or cameras. I just wanted to get to her.I stormed into the hospital and made a beeline for the director’s office.“Mr. M
