Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Billion-Dollar Obsession : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

Chapter 1: Run"Run. If I catch you, I’ll fuck you."I closed my book and hugged it close to my chest, kicking my feet up in the air as I screamed. Oh God, to be Adeline right now, chased, Caught and wanted that badly.My blanket hung forgotten by my bed stand, my crop top riding up as I sprawled across my bed in nothing but my underwear. I couldn't care less about my dignity. I was home, in my room, alone, with only Haunting Adeline for company.“Run. If I catch you, I’ll fuck you.”The words fill my ears, this time, not from me.I jolted upright. The book slipped from my fingers and fell to the floor with a loud thud. My gaze shot to my nightstand.And there he was.Zorin Lane.My brother’s best friend. The boy who would steal my biscuits and blame them on my brother, River. The man who now sits at the top of a billion-dollar company no longer has time to play pretend tea parties with me.And the worst part? He looked completely unfazed by the fact that he had just caught me half-na

Chapter 3Tonight, I was a Disney princess, except my prince was nowhere to be found.The car door opened, and I shivered slightly as the cool night air hit my skin. Camera flashes went off like lightning, as River helped me out, his arm looped through mine, each flash making me flinch. I felt exposed, like every eye in the room was on me.I hadn't told anyone what happened two days ago, I want to believe I just imagined it, that my brain tricked me. Still, here I was at a gala because I wanted to see him again, to see if he'd look at me that way again. But if I had known what the night would turn into, I’d have stayed home, eaten cereal in my pyjamas, and binge-watch my favourite animes, pretending the world didn’t exist.I was wearing a crimson, figure-hugging corset dress with a daring high thigh slit in a halter neck design. And my hair up in a tight high bun. River noticed my discomfort. "It’s just a charity gala, Lumi. A few handshakes, polite smiles, nothing dramatic."Right.

Chapter 5Zorin's POV I made a promise I couldn't keep.River had made me swear on my dick before leaving. I had sworn to keep her away from everything and everyone who would harm her. Only, he had forgotten to exclude me.Except for the fucking La Morte who have their eyes on what's mine, I am the biggest threat towards Lumi, the poison she is already swallowing.I want to strip her bare of everything that isn’t me.Those dirty books; burn them.Friends; bury them.I want to be her only hobby, the only external stimuli she reacts to. I want to be the only god she prays to. The only devil she fears.I want her so broken that my name is the only word she remembers how to scream.I want to fuck the fight out of her until her please sounds like thank you.I liked that I was in control and in charge of her right now.No, I don’t like it.I fucking love it."Why are you staring at me like that" Lumi's voice snapped me out of my head.I cleared my throat, "Like what?""Like you're hungry.

SCREECHING AXE.* I should have listened to Zorin lane and stayed at home. By the time I’m on my third bottle, the fear that kept me locked in my room is gone. Burned away by alcohol and loud music. The streets are alive. Music thundering through the speakers, and the crowd was buzzing with the same wild energy as the cars at the starting line. My phone beeps again, it was the seventh text from Zorin this night, I pocketed my phone, ignoring him. Jade drags me in as the main race was about to start, weaving through bodies, the scent of fuel and sweat hanging thick in the air. “God, I missed this!” she yells over the noise. The crowd explodes, surging forward, chanting names. I don’t even know them, but I’m screaming too. Two racers came out of their cars, and my mouth almost dropped at their breathtaking faces. The first was a brunette, muscular with tattoos littered around his body. And the second was a slim, strawberry blonde handsome guy that I would pay to shove my tongu
