Bound to the Devil in a Billionaire’s Suit のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

SARIAN POVIt's been two days of peace and quiet. I can't remember the last time I felt this free and at peace. I smirked as the images of Anastasia's face these past few days flashed through my head.Frustration and confusion, but the worst of it was her deepened hatred.Marcus will not always be around to protect me from his sister, but I know it won't be as bad as before when they both ganged up against me."What's going on between you and Marcus?" Mama asked as she helped massage my ankle."What is going through your head, Mama?" I chuckled as I shook my head.Her shoulders slumped, and she shook her head. "No matter how hard I try to think about it, I can't wrap my head around his sudden niceness."I shrugged. "Well, I twisted my ankle while cleaning his room. Also, he maybe realized how unfair they've been," and she nodded reluctantly.I intentionally hid the truth - Marcus’ love confession. It would make her uncomfortable, and in fact there was no point.Marcus may be pretendi

SARIAN POVIt has been a week since everything happened. Marcus stayed true to his word and took me to the hospital on the days I had appointments.I sighed and sat on the stairs, as my waist cried out in exhaustion. I've been working nonstop since I woke up.Anastasia was throwing a house pool party, and there was a lot to be done. Unfortunately, Mama was on leave to see a distant relative."There's no time for rest, Sarian. We need to hurry up, that way we don't incur Miss Anastasia's wrath," Natalie said in a cracked voice.I nodded and swallowed. "It's just a few minutes. Aren't you tired too?" I asked, and she walked towards me and sat beside me."Tired? I'm drained," she rolled her eyes, and we both chuckled."What are you saying, babe?" we heard Anastasia's voice and approaching footsteps.Hurriedly, Natalie and I stood up to continue our work. Natalie went back outside, while I continued mopping the floor."But you promised to come to the party tonight. I don't want to be alon

CHAPTER SIXTEENSARIAN POVI stripped myself and let my hair fall. I walked into Killian's shower. Just like the room and every other space in this house, it had dark aesthetic.I applied his shower gel on the new sponge he got me and scrubbed my skin with it. His signature woody smell engulfed my nose.After I was done, I turned on the shower and the warm water flowed down my body. I raised my head, closed my eyes and rinse off the lather.It felt so good - Peace. Luxury.I don't know how long I stood under the shower but I let myself bask in the feeling. Knowing that I wasn't under pressure.Then, I finally turned it off and stepped out. The mirror was blur, so I swiped my hand on it. I stared at my naked reflection.Compared to what Anastasia had insisted for years, I was everything but ugly. Can't believe I became depressed in high school, thinking I was actually an ugly duckling.I clenched my hands and sucked in enough air as I held myself from breaking down.Although, Anastasia

SARIAN POV"How are you feeling, baby?" Mama asked, and I shrugged with a small smile tugged at my lips.She added. "I can't tell exactly what's going on because you wouldn't tell me, but I know you haven't been yourself. Spacing out, jumpy... That's not who you are.""Mama, c'mon, I'm okay and believe me. If it's something that I can't handle, I'll tell you. Besides, I don't see the need to make you worry over a minor issue.""No issue is too little. The least you can do is for me to be the judge of that." She insisted, and I nodded."Alright, mama. I've heard you, but for now I have work to do. I better get going," I said.She sighed. "This atmosphere is draining you, and I don't like that you're losing your spark. When is school resuming?" She asked.The thought of going back to school, to breathe an entirely different and fresh air, made my smile widen.I've been so buried in the problems and everything that had been going on that I forgot something as important as I was still a c

SARIAN POVI sighed as I walked through the front gate. The grocery bags were tightly clutched in my hands.The sun had begun to set. I picked up the pace and hurried to the main villa.I was so engrossed with spending time with Killian that I forgot that I had work to do or a prison to go back to.The corners of my lips stretched into a smile as the thought of how gently Killian handled me crossed my mind.His sweet, reassuring words that made butterflies fill my stomach.Killian hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend, and I'm guessing he was taking his time. No rush. One thing was certain. We will be together someday.I continued to walk absentmindedly with hundreds of memories running through my head.If only Lucas were here to express the aftereffects of the sweet poison, he warned me about.Although he couldn't answer my question about his background, I decided to give it a rest for now.If we should start dating someday, I'll definitely find my answers, a way to satisfy my curiosi
