The Billionaire's Pet のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

SOPHIAMother? I blinked, my brain glitching. I stumbled, my hands fumbling to keep my dress from falling completely off my shoulders. The woman shaking in the doorway wasn't what I expected of Cassian’s mother. I wasn't sure what I had expected because he never spoke of his family, but her clothes were dirty, a thin cardigan hanging off her shoulder. Her dark hair was tangled, but her eyes made my stomach drop. They were glassy, her pupils blow wide. I'd seen that look before. The woman was high on drugs. "Cassian? Baby I need… I need help. Everything's spinning and I can't move." Her voice was slurred and childlike.She stumbled as she tried to walk, and Cassian caught her before she hit the floor, sweeping her into his arms so gently my breath caught. "Shh, I've got you. You're safe now." He said tenderly. The woman's head rolled against his shoulder as she flung her arm back, and I saw faded track marks on her inner arms, and fresher ones near her wrists. "I tried, baby. I t

SOPHIA I’d never felt so frustrated my whole life. Frustrated at myself for wanting the damned man so much, and frustrated at him for not wanting me enough. The man was paying for my mother's care in return for my body but he wouldn't even touch me? I knew I wanted to lose my virginity, and I knew he could protect me from Big Mike, but at the end of the day, what was he really getting out of this arrangement if he wouldn't even touch me? Maybe Raven was right and he didn't even want me like that. The thought caused my stomach to sink. I showered quickly and went downstairs. It was too early to overthink shit. I needed coffee, and maybe I could make breakfast. His mother would still be in her room, sleeping. What I didn't expect was to turn the hallway and almost bump into her. My heart slammed against my throat as she turned to me. Apart from the eyes; hers were green while Cassian’s were silver, they looked almost eerily alike. “Who are you? What are you doing in my son's hom

SOPHIAElena leaned away from Sable, squealed in joy and hugged her again. “Lord, it's been ages since I last saw your face.” I watched from the foot of the stairs, my heart twisting. I should have just turned back then, and gone upstairs, but I couldn't stop watching. Sable and Elena must have been very close while she was married to Cassian. If so, why did their marriage ever end? Sable pulled away finally and handed Elena the big bags she'd arrived with. “I've missed you too, Elena. Oh how I questioned Cassian about where you were, but he wouldn't tell me!” She said excitedly. Elena’s face fell for only a second before she took the bags from Sable, taking her hands and tugging her to the couch. “Don't mind, Cassian. You know how he can be.”Sable giggled sweetly, nothing like the cold woman who had approached me at her mother's party. “I know.” She looked up, and her eyes fixed on me. She stopped, forcing Elena to a stop. “Ah, who is this, Elena?” My gaze narrowed on Sable. S

SOPHIASable had cheated on Cassian with his own brother, no wonder there was so much tension between them. Cristian always looked at me like I was the enemy, and he probably thought I'd do the same thing Sable had done to Cassian. Marcus pulled up to the hospital, and I climbed out before he could open my door. "I won't be long. Please wait outside.” "Take your time, Mrs. Winters. I'll be right here."I walked through the hallways, and when I reached my mother's room, I stopped at the door, taking a deep breath before pushing it open.Mom was sitting by the window. When she looked up and saw me, her face broke into the brightest smile I'd seen in months."Soph! Oh sweetheart, I've missed you so much!" She stood, opening her arms.Soph was the nickname she'd called me my entire childhood."Mom, you remember?""Of course I remember my own daughter. How could I forget my Soph?” She pulled back, cupping my face in her hands. "I've missed you so much." I sighed happily. "I've missed

SOPHIAMy heart dropped into my stomach. I’d had cause to hate plenty of people in my lifetime, but not as much as I hated Cristian right then. Marching past Cassian, I headed to the door, biting my lip and holding back the words I wanted to spit at him. My grazed arm pulsed painfully as I shoved the door open and stepped outside. I heard his footsteps behind me, and only when we'd gotten into the privacy of the car did I turn to him. My voice was shaking, and I could already feel the tears forming. “Where's he?” It was one thing to detest me, but going after my mother who was innocent in all this? That was an jerk move. His nostrils flared, eyes narrowing into slits. “Who?” “Your brother. Who else?” I swallowed, my eyes welling my tears. “Why the fuck would he do that?” His breath came in quick bursts as his eyes dropped to my lips. I could see the conflict in his eyes. “I'll deal with this myself.” “Oh no, Cassian. Don't give me that bullshit. He did this to my mother. I'll
