All Chapters of Claimed by the Obsessive Billionaires: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Serena Vale~•~I’d been intoxicated when I went to the bathroom, but I immediately became sober when I saw Noelle and Rafael. She was leaning in like they were close.He shut her down immediately, of course, but she…I couldn’t believe the words that were coming out of her mouth.“Let’s talk,” I told her.She glanced at me. Her eyes were droopy and red. Maybe she was high on something. Surely, she didn’t mean the things she said, did she?When she didn’t respond, I wrapped my hand around her wrist and pulled her off the stool. She hissed as I pulled her along with me. Rafael stood awkwardly to the side, watching me leave with her.I found a dimly lit corridor where the music didn’t reach. I dragged Noelle in before she could protest.She yanked her arm free, massaging the spot I’d been holding like it hurt. “Really, Serena?” She laughed, sharp and bitter. “You’re making a scene over nothing?”I blinked, unable to believe my ears. “Nothing? You had your hand on my boyfriend’s thigh tw

Serena Vale~•~I’d told Nikolai I would call him after work.He called me immediately it was five o’clock in the evening. I didn’t pick up though. I only returned his calls after I was at home.“What did Elena say to you, baby?” He questioned as soon as he answered the call. “Were you crying? What happened?”I chuckled. He was freaking out because of the articles, but I couldn’t be bothered about those. I had a more pressing issue. I wasn’t sure how to tell Lila and Tessa about what Noelle had done. I didn’t want to force them to choose sides, but I knew I’d be pretty hurt if they chose her over me“Elena didn’t make me cry,” I assured him. “If anything, she looked like she was about to cry after I left.”He didn’t find my joke funny. “So you cried? Why?”I bit the inside of my cheek. Saying it out made it feel truer, but Nikolai had sent several texts throughout the day, trying to make sure I was okay. I’d already reneged on going to his place the previous night. It would be horribl

Nikolai Vetrov~•~I turned off my phones after my call with Rafael as they were buzzing every other second.I arrived at his place by 10:17am.Reporters were around this house. They stood far enough that they wouldn’t be arrested for trespassing but close enough to invade his privacy.They noticed my car immediately. I didn’t bother entering his garage because I knew reversing would take a lot of time. I just stopped outside the porch and honked.Paparazzi surrounded my car, taking several pictures at once, all shouting questions I didn’t bother to listen to. It was worse when Rafael came out of his house.“Rafael! Is it true that you’re sharing Serena Vale with Nikolai Vetrov?”“Aren’t you two rivals?”“Are the three of you in a relationship?”“Is this why Elena and Serena fought at the gala?”He didn’t even glance at them. He just opened the passenger door and slid in beside me.I turned on the engine before the door fully closed.In the rearview mirror, I saw them sprinting after

Serena Vale~•~Tessa and Lila didn’t believe it at first. They couldn’t fathom the idea that Noelle, our Noelle would act like that.I’d explained everything that happened at the wine tasting event to them and for a second, they thought I was pranking them. It wasn’t until Tessa called her to confirm that they realized I wasn’t kidding. Noelle admitted to the things she said but she also said that she was high and didn’t mean them.But I’d seen the way she looked at me that night. She meant every word she said. She’d really wanted Rafael. She’d genuinely believed that I got whatever I had through sex.She didn't care that she’d been hurting me then. In fact, she had aimed to cut deeper.Lila ended up blowing up at her. Tessa, for the first time, was very quiet.I hated that what happened between us had ruined what they had with her, but at the end of the day, it wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t said those horrible things to me. No friend talked to their friend that way.The rest

Nikolai Vetrov~•~It took two sleepless nights to trace the first person who released the news about Serena. And it was a junior reporter Elena had on speed dial. As I fucking suspected. When Serena told me Noelle denied being behind it, there was only one other person I thought of.It was the same reporter who was always the first person to post good news about Elena. Everything that happened in her life was shown to the world through him first. I didn’t know how much she paid him or if he was even on her payroll at all but I knew if he was the first to release the news, then she definitely had something to do with it. It was seven o'clock in the morning when I called her. I wasn’t sure if she had woken up. I also didn’t care. I called her at least three times before she picked up.“Nikolai,” her voice was small and sleepy as if I’d just woken her up from sleep. “You’re calling at odd hours.”“It’s seven in the morning,” I deadpanned. Every working-class person was usually up by t
