Semua Bab Tomboy on the Billionaire's bed: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Selina's POV"As I scanned the rows, my gaze fell upon the workers. Exhaustion and fatigue evident in their worn out faces. They had borne the weight of Max greediness over the years, helping to preserve the company. It was time to repay them.“I apologised to the Morrison Brewery workforce,” I said with a slight but prolonged bow.“ … For the years of abuse and harsh treatment from a company that was supposed to be your succour. You are all survivors… just like I am,” a bitter smile curved on my lips. “What do you mean by ‘survivors like you’?” Someone asked.“Despite my father's wealth, I endured years of abuse and harsh realities as a child, but here I am today, standing tall. You all are also survivors, your labour of love is seen and will be appreciated…”“Did you just say you suffered abuse as a child?” Another voice rang from the crowd.“Yes. My mother died at childbirth so I didn't experience the warmth of my birth mother. Those who were meant to be my protector and succour t

Travis POVThe jazz music buzzing from the club pounded against my chest, drowning out the thoughts I’d been nursing all evening. I leaned back in the leather booth, nursing a glass of whiskey I hadn’t touched much. Across from me was Smith. He was already halfway through his second round, grinning like the devil.“So…” he dragged the word out, eyes sharp with mischief, “have you been able to bed the tomboy- Chairwoman?”I shot him a glare. “Smith…”“What?” He lifted his glass, chuckling. “Don’t look at me like that. I warned you. Didn't I? Normally, you don’t waste your time chasing skirts. Hell, you don’t even waste your time on people. But suddenly this Selina Morrison walks in and you’re acting like a soldier on a mission.”I snorted, pretending I didn’t hear him.“Hey!” He pushed it“You’re exaggerating.” I said and slipped down my drink.“Am I?” he challenged, leaning forward on his seat.“You ditched a dozen meetings just to show up for her conference today. It doesn't add up.

Selina's POVI broke my gaze from Travis and looked towards the sea, “You should have given me a heads up… You cornered me into this, leaving me with no choice,” I said casually, trying to dodge the main question, but he wouldn't have it.He tilted forward and held my shoulders lightly but firmly. He stared into my eyes like he was reading them.“Selina, you have a choice. Say you don't want to stay and you will be back on that jet,” his voice was husky in my ears. I looked into his eyes and they were kind and pristine.My chest heaved and I looked away from his piercing gaze. “I.. will …stay,” I stuttered.He let out a heavy sigh like he had been holding it for a lifetime. He let go and a subtle smirk painted his lips.“You have no choice, you wouldn't want me to opt out of the deal now… would you?” His eyes twinkled as he teased me, but I didn't find it funny. He just teased me about my biggest fear.Seeing the tension, he changed the topic.“Let's go…” Where? I didn't expect that

Selina's POVIt took me a few seconds before I realized that I was standing transfixed and was lost in my reverie. I had taken a warm shower and I was drying my hair. But my mind kept drifting back to Travis… his touch, how his hand crawled over my skin and how it made me feel… the terrifying helplessness that surged through me before he let me go.He could have taken more. I saw it in his eyes, he wanted it, but he didn’t. That restraint rattled me even more.My fingers trembled slightly as I selected less ridiculous clothes from the mess I had created earlier.As I fixed on one of the bralettes, my heart pounded faster. I wanted to curl up in bed, bury myself beneath the sheets, and avoid him for the rest of the night, but my stomach growled loudly, betraying me. I hadn’t eaten since morning and here, there was no cook or maid, I had to get down to cook.I flipped on a crop top and a pair of shots and stepped out cautiously, hoping to slip by unnoticed. But there he was, right in th

Selina's POV I woke up the next morning feeling sick. I had made up my mind I was just going to leave.Quietly I tumbled out of the bed, took my shower and prepared to leave. My jacket, the one I wore down, was nowhere to be found, so slipped in some seemingly comfortable wear I could find. I was at the door with my hand on the lock when a knock came. “What?”I asked rudely without opening the door.“Good morning…” This voice sounded smooth and I couldn't lie, it warmed my heart.“Morning. What…”“Come, let's dine and have breakfast,”He sounded so cool. How can he sound like nothing happened between us the previous night.I contemplated telling him to stay or leave but my stomach growled… Instantly I felt hungry.I opened the door hesitantly and we locked gazes. I looked away but I felt his gaze steady on me.“You slept in… I hope you had a splendid night…” he said and exclaimed, “Oh! You have had your bath… what an earlier riser,” he blabbed, but I didn't breathe a word.Then the a
