All Chapters of Owned by the Billionaire Beast: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

SPADE“I really don’t understand you. Why the fuck did you do that? Why did you lie to her?” Max glared at me and then blinked. He just matched my anger. “I can’t believe you fucked it up, man.”I opened my mouth to explain, but Lex just walked into the living room. After our short pleasantries, he looked at me and Max. He instantly sensed a tension between us. Max looked away, and I remained silent. “Don’t stop on my account.” He sat down and took his tea from Max. “Your son is insane, Mr. Kross. He just lost it. Big time.” Max had met Lex many times, just right after he took me in. He liked Max. He was the one who found him and where he was deployed. “What did you do, Spade?” Still calm, he crossed his leg over the other, sipping his tea. He then looked at me, waiting for my reply. “What kind of tea is this? It’s subtle.”“And doesn’t taste like a concoction? Just a regular tea.”“Don’t change the subject, son. What did you do? And don’t lie to me. I can see it in your eyes. You’

SPADE“That’s it?” Max stared at me in disappointment. “She said she needs time.” I ignored his gaze following me as I walked towards the elevator. “Why are you even questioning my decision?”“Because lately, you’re—” He shrugged. “I don’t know, man. I know there’s a huge part of you that still blames yourself for what Reid did to her, but he’s gonna be locked up for a long time. If you do something stupid like pushing your wife away, you just let Reid win because that’s what he wanted from the very start. He’d ruined your life for years. Don’t let him get into your head. You have to forgive yourself one way or another, that it wasn’t your fault.”9“That’s precisely my fault. I should have known he’d be released early. And she was attacked because I was involved with her. He chose her because he knew Robyn was my weakness.”He snorted, grabbing me by the arm. “So this is what it’s all about. “You’re pushing her way because she made you vulnerable. Man, it’s been years. You should mo

ROBYNI bit back the curse, fighting the urge to stop him and listen more to his poor excuses. I felt like he was still holding something back, and I wanted to open his layers and find out. I knew it would be challenging, but I started to care about him. Despite his triggering darker nature, I knew there was good within him. There was that light still engulfed in darkness. But I was still horror-struck by his confession. “Agh!” I dropped myself on the couch and curled up. “It’s already late. You’re tired, and I’m tired.” Piper yawned. That was the third time in a row. “I’ll keep the door open when you decide to sleep in my room. It’s more comfortable in bed, babe.”“Thanks, Pip.” I raised my hand, waving. “Turn off the light on your way. Love you.”“Love you, too. Good night.”Groaning, I punched the pillow and lay down. I wrapped my body with the blanket, trying to sleep, but my mind was still wide awake. “What the hell am I doing?” I threw the blanket away and grabbed my phone.

SPADERobyn didn’t even try to hide the anger blazing in her eyes. She really hated me. I couldn’t blame her. I lied to her, blackmailed her into marriage, put her life at risk, and used her to my convenience. I also felt that she still cared about me, but it might not be for long. We arrived at the summer house in Sicily. It was more of a safe house, per se, owned by Moses Braddson. “Oh, my God, babe! Look at the view.” Piper couldn’t help but gush at the clear blue ocean on the horizon. “It’s breathtaking.”I also rented a yacht so that we could get away from the chaos for a while. I didn’t just bring them here for vacation. They were here for their safety when Terzo and the Osmium promised me their protection. Robyn and Piper didn’t have to know that I had men watching them 24/7. Robyn wrapped her arms around her best friend. “I’m glad you’re okay.”“I still remember what happened before things went black. I’m so sorry, babe. You must have been terrified last night,” Piper said

ROBYN“Oh, my God.” I almost choked on my food, and they were delicious. The red wine was amazing with a distinct smoky taste. “Do you like red wine?”“Yeah.” I nodded. “It’s so good.”She smiled proudly. “His family owns the wine. The one you’re drinking is named after me.” Terzo smiled proudly at his wife. I could see how much they loved and respected each other. Even a blind person could see it.I picked up the bottle and read the name, “Aristide. Your name is Aristide?”“Well, my name is Danielle Leonie Aristide. We named our son Leone, so Aristide is for the wine because he promised me he would name a wine after me.”“You deserved it, beautiful,” Terzo told his wife.“Aw.” Piper giggled. “He’s so sweet.”Terzo laughed. “People have portrayed the mafia like me in movies as murderers and dangerous. I am still dangerous, but I already have a heart, and I love my family more than anything in this world, Piper. I still have enemies here and there, but if they touch the hair of one o
