All Chapters of Owned by the Billionaire Beast: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

SPADE“You’re gonna pay for this!” She clung to me like a shy little girl meeting a stranger. She would have insisted on going with Quinton if she didn’t trust me enough to keep her safe. By the time we arrived at the Kross mansion, she hadn’t said anything, but I could tell by the way her arms loosened a little around me that she started to enjoy the ride.As I helped her off the bike, she took off the helmet, put her hands on her knees, and glared at me. “My legs are shaking. I thought I was gonna die. It was the scariest ride I’d ever been on.”I wanted to tell her ‘not the kidnapping’, but the last thing I wanted for her to remember was that horrible incident. I threw my key to Quinton. “You’ll be fine.” Without warning, I lifted her and carried her bridal style. “Put me down!” She kicked her feet to get off me, but I was strong, and her struggle only made her situation worse. “Spade, please?”“You might wanna tone down your voice. We’re guests at this house.”She glared up at

ROBYN“I can sleep on the floor.” There was another awkward silence between us, definitely not from the sex, but from our unsaid words. “Why would you do that?” He turned his head to me, eyebrows furrowing. “Maybe you wanna sleep alone?” I put the T-shirt back on.“We’re sleeping on the same bed tonight. No more arguments.” He started throwing pillows out of bed, leaving only two for us. Then he fixed it as if he had done it a thousand times, and he patted the pillow next to his and rested his head on it. “Let’s get some sleep, Robyn.”“Good night,” I said as I lay down on my back, my hands on my abdomen, staring at the ceiling.He groaned, slipped his arm under my pillow, and draped his arm on my abdomen to pull me closer. “Can you move closer?”I did as he said.“More, princess.”I scoffed at his endearment. “So you’re the beast, huh?”He chuckled, cuddling me into his tight arms, his leg over mine. “Good night.”I turned my back and closed my eyes. He seemed to have relaxed, his

ROBYN“So why do you have to resign and leave your job? I think that’s cool that you’re working together in the same company.”“Are you kidding me?” I looked at Piper. “If our circumstances were different, like we fell in love and eloped, that would be great, but we still broke the non-fraternization policy.”“And get married, duh.” She rolled her eyes. “And besides, he owned the company. He’s the President and the CEO. Why don’t you work at Zacc & Kross Ventures? I’m sure he can find his wife a better position than resigning.”“I can find my own job, you know.” I started stabbing my food with the fork. I checked the time on my watch. We have fifteen minutes left before our break ends. “Or maybe it’s your time to take a break for a few months and just serve your husband. Maybe all he needs is a little cuddling and attention from you so that he can stop yelling around and smile more often. He’s like always carrying the world over his shoulder.”I smiled. “See? See?” She pointed her fo

SPADE“Please, call my mom?” she said before she was brought into one of the emergency rooms, and her hand pulled away from my grasp.I instantly called her mom and informed her which the hospital we were at. “Is she okay?” Denise asked right away.“Yes, but I can’t tell until she gets checked up.”“I’m on my way.”“Wait there, Mrs. Sharpe. Let me send my driver. His name is Quinton. Please, wait for him. By the time he arrives at your home, Robyn will be transferred to a private room.”“Thank you, Mr. Kolby.”“You’re welcome.” I just talked to my mother-in-law, and she called me Mr. Kolby instead of Spade or son. Robyn and I literally hid our relationship from her, and it was a blow of guilt to my chest.I called Wave to give me updates, even though it was just a few minutes after we arrived in the hospital. “Updates?”“The team just arrived, sir. We’re already collecting the footage in the building for the last hour, but so far we haven’t had luck. It’s either her assailant knows w

SPADE“Welcome home, princess.”She looked around without a word. “Your house?”“Yeah.” I held her hand as I led her way inside the entryway. “I know why you brought me here, Spade.” “Since you’re already jobless, we’ll stay here before we go on vacation.” She looked at the grand staircases upstairs. “You’re worried about my safety. And maybe the attacker will come back to finish the job, but if I were here, he wouldn’t know how to find me.”“Part of it, yes, but this is better than the penthouse. You can call Piper to come and see you. Your Mom is on the way here with Quinton.” I carried her, causing her to yelp.“I can walk, you know.” She wrapped her arms around me, laughing. “I hit my head, not my feet.”I took her upstairs. “I know, but your mom told me—”“Oh, no, no. What embarrassing story did she tell you?” She looked at me.I met her gaze. She was smiling at me. “That you’re a hopeless romantic and believe in a happily ever after, and that you wish to walk down the aisle.
