All Chapters of Owned by the Billionaire Beast: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

ROBYN“Isn’t he still on sick leave?” I muttered.Spade put the speaker on and placed the phone on the counter with his fists turned white in anger. “Yes, honey. He is,” Lex replied.Spade went on in a full accusatory tone. “Did you give him money?” “He said he would attend the meeting and was strong enough to drive and walk. I believed him,” Lex said calmly.“Fuck. I know this would happen.” He breathed through his nose, his jaw clenching. “Then he might just walk to a liquor store instead.”“I did not give him money, son, and before you judge him, where would he go? The car is still parked down the building. Nothing’s missing and disturbed in his apartment.” Lex explained. Frustration was thick in his voice.Spade groaned, scratching his beard. “I told you, Dad. You can’t trust him. He may look like he has changed, but he didn’t. It was all for a show to get what he wanted. Now you’re worried about the man who doesn’t want your help. Let him go. You’re wasting your time.”“You’re

SPADEThe dark space loomed, and I always imagined him there with red eyes, waiting at the darkest corner, watching me as I walked down with my wobbled knees, trembling, sniffling, and twisting my arms with hot tears sliding down my face. My heart thundered in my chest. The camera angled up to the pipes that ran across the open ceiling. They were more visible now than they were before. The broken furniture and malfunctioning dishwasher were stuck in the corner. That smell sucked me into that basement— the musty air flooded my senses. Goose bumps scattered over my skin as I smelled the dust, the molds on the wall, the dead insects, and the rodent repellent. I could smell the stink of pee on the cemented floor with mildew cracks snaking across it. Murmurs of noises and the creaky steps overhead rang in my ears. It was too loud. But the fear from the first creaky noise as the door swung open began to choke me. It was followed by the heavy thuds of footsteps through the wooden steps.

ROBYN“I’m Abraham,” Hanna revealed. Pride exuded in her tone. Of course, she was.I blinked for a moment. It all made sense why they were always two steps ahead of us. Terzo and Spade allowed her to walk free for the thought that she was a nobody but a broker. “Is that supposed to mean something?” I arched my eyebrows. Of course it did. I just wanted to piss her off. “Is that why you changed your hair? Dark hair looked good on you than this blonde.”“How stupid do you think I am? Your husband and the mafia fell for my lie. I’m a spy.” She chuckled. “I learned the art of lies, manipulation, and deceit. I deceived people and gather intel for a living. I was good at my job. When I said I was a broker, they believed me, and your husband even let me go for the thought that he owned my life. I made him believe that he was in control.”I snorted. “Or maybe he made you believe what you wanted to believe.”Her eyes narrowed into slits. “But look where he is now? He has just become my puppet.

ROBYN“Mrs. Kolby?” I felt hands gripping my arms, shaking me, pulling me back to reality. I was still here, blabbering with my body in tremors.I jolted, flinching in horror, gasping for air because I knew that voice. “Mom, I’m so sorry. I hope you can forgive me. Please, don’t cry.” I wouldn’t see Mom again and ask for forgiveness for the pain I’d caused. “Mom, I hope you won’t cry on my grave. I hope you will continue living without me. I hope you will start listening to the Linkin Park with Emily Armstrong. I hope you start a feminist movement and go out and fight for women’s rights because that’s who you are. You’re a force to be reckoned with. Please, tell Piper. I’m sorry, and I love her. She’s my forever sister.” I wouldn’t see my best friend walk down the aisle anymore. He was going to finish his job. He was going to kill me now.“No, no, no. I’m not done,” I muttered, shaking my head frantically. “This is just a nightmare, another nightmare, another nightmare. I want the o

SPADELex had decided that we should stay overnight at the hospital after our thorough check-ups and tending to our wounds, but no amount of medicines could heal us of what Hanna and her evil of armies had put us through. “I’m sorry.” I had never apologized to Sean since he went to prison for the first time until today. “I was wrong.” I was wrong about Sean. He was a victim and had been dragged into this mess because of me. He got hurt and had to be under observation because his wounds gaped and bled.He still smiled at me and looked grateful after what he’d been through since his release. “You don’t need to apologize. I’ve done many terrible things in my life, and watching you there, seemingly not yourself, I realized I didn’t deserve a second chance.”“You’re wrong. You deserve a second chance. You served your time, and you were mugged and abducted because of me. And I apologized because I thought you lapsed.” “I was going downstairs to throw trash when someone hit me on the back
