Bound by Love: Falling for Mr. Billionaire chapter 13
Valentino’s POV I sat down, figuring out my next move. I had been here more times than the fingers in both of my hands multiplied by fifty.This was the pit of death and a grave of wealth. It wasn't just any game. It was all or nothing.Sasha sat bold next to me, looking all radiant, but I could feel her fears. I didn't want to bring her here but she seemed too adamant for herself.I had never played against this set of players but I knew my hand was good and my mind was sharp as always.The combination of skills to interpret and tell what the other two cards said was something not everyone knew how to do.I had a perfect system that was hidden and helped me tell which card from which. Watching the old geezer to my right, I knew he was some experienced fold. I had to wait for my round.“Participants reveal your pick,” the attendant said, standing and watching us all.A middle-aged lady who sat at the center was first to make her reveal the card the next participant played. She turned

Sasha’s POV“He won, Yes, Valentino had won,” I said inwardly as a wide laugh burst out of my mouth. There he was heading toward me. Valentino stood up, came at me, and kissed me. He had won the game. For a moment I was scared. Scared for him, scared for us, and scared that things might go sideways. This was the first time I had seen him tense. In all my life, I had never witnessed the tension, dread, and fear that filled the room. Each of the players was tense during the game.I watched a lady of a similar age as myself get up and yell aloud. She was the one player who seemed to make Valentino shift a bit from his seat. My lover had triumphed and he gave a winning roar.For a moment it felt surreal. Here was Mr. Hard Guy, all happy and cheerful. Maybe it was because it was his last laugh and his last game here. He had told me on our way up the floor that he wasn’t going to be in this section ever again.“Come on, my darling, let’s go party and have some fun and celebrate this victo

Sasha’s POV“Come on, I’m not in danger, I’ll be fine,” I said as I made my move.I stepped into the restroom and went to ease myself. There I sat thinking of what would have been my fate if Valentino had lost out there tonight.As much as I liked to keep it as a contract and nothing else, I was feeling drawn to him. It seemed as though I cared about him. Maybe I loved him. I knew he had the look of bravery but for once, I could see fear in his eyes. Etched deeply as though he was afraid of failing. I could tell within me that he had something hiding deep within him. Like some childhood hurt. A feeling of inadequacy or something of sorts.I washed my face and looked in the mirror, thanking my stars that I wasn’t collateral damage in case things had gone south. Those men and women didn't seem to have a soul in them. They were a bit kill or be killed—willing to put even their family on the line.Although my dad wasn't always available due to the lifestyle he'd chosen, he taught me one

Sasha’s POVI walked out of the restroom with the guard, as I was a bit furious and grateful at the same time.Furious that I had to be walked out of a conversation—well, a conversation I did not want to have.Valentino stood there with all shades of anger written all over his face. He seemed suspicious of something. Something I knew nothing about, and that wasn’t my worry or a burden to bear. Besides, I told him I needed to use the restroom.“Living in the restroom now? Look how long you kept me waiting! I wanted to make a quick introduction of you to some of my acquaintances and you stood me up and made it look like I was playing a prank on them. I see you like to keep me waiting and get on my nerves. Is that the new thing you’re taking a chide in?” He spoke, authority beaming from his tone.I rolled my eyes, restricting the wide laughter that was about to burst out of my mouth. Placing my hands on my mouth, I held it back, with a grin appearing on my face. I gave him a smirk and sa

Valentino’s POV“There can’t be any light without darkness, and there can’t be success without struggle.” His voice recoiled in my head as I puffed the smoke into Sasha’s face.I had lived my whole life, hidden in plain sight. Like a lyricist, I had penned down my every move. Markos, my late mentor, had taught me the way of the streets, even the deeds of Wall Street elitist movers and shakers.I was well-versed in business dealings and knew how to seize opportunities when I saw them lurking around me. For a moment, I looked at Sasha and asked if I spotted an opportunity in her or if it was my emotions trying to drag me to a place I never wanted to be.As difficult as it was for me to understand, love was also hard for me to comprehend. “I don’t let people into my world. I’ve got to save something for myself. I can’t just let everybody know everything about me,” I muttered, looking her in the face.“Am I everyone, Val?” Sasha said as she turned, facing me with her mouth wide open.“Don

Sasha’s POVI called out to Valentino as I saw the rider in black-colored clothing and a helmet riding furiously in our direction. Something didn’t seem right about him. Valentino didn’t seem scared, it seemed he was expecting it. I couldn’t fathom what relationship he loved with trouble. Each moment with him was dreadful and dangerous, and it had my heart racing. “When would I have my lasting peace with him?” I thought for a moment.The rider tried to crash into our vehicle, but the driver, who seemingly had great visibility, waved off, sending the rider into a fatal state. Valentino seemed like a Superman of some sort, and what he did made me livid.He went into the driver’s seat and told him to hold steady on the steering. He told him to move as fast as possible and clear every single hindrance aimed at stopping him from dragging him back.Valentino took on a walkie-talkie and called his men to position, signaling imminent danger. “Route changed; head for the safe-house,” Valenti

Valentino’s POVI knew who had done this. That stupid girl, Julie, had sent her marksmen against me. Maybe she was ill-informed; she could have done her background check before taking a hit on me.Commendable were the size and strength of her team, but they were no match for me. I would teach them a lesson and make her pay. She had made my woman cry, and for this, I will make her cry bloody tears; there is no way around this.I went back into the car to see how lucky Sasha was; she had sustained no injuries or hits, and that was pleasing to me. She had more in her than to stay down and be frightened. I was going to toughen her up; she must become a real queen—a dangerous one at that.“My love, take this and use it when necessary,” I said as I gave her a pistol, showing her how to get it ready and reload. Sometimes you cannot defend everyone and fight at the same time. That was how my father had died, saving my mum from the invasion that divided my home.His twin brother had ordered th

Sasha's POVThis was the longest night of my life. My first-hand experience at Casino Royale was indeed memorable and one I would never forget, not in a hurry.The gunshots had halted and I was scared still. “Was this what constitutes the daily life of Valentino,” I wondered.He had great guts to live such a life. No wonder it is said that behind the gleam and glamor lay an unfavorable tale. I had witnessed it for myself first hand and I knew to be king was a heavy burden.His crown was heavy and I had doubts about being his queen. I looked at myself, reflection and reality dawning on me. How could I handle his shoes, if he let me fill it?“Come outside Sasha and see the faces of all of them that wished death on us, come spit on their dirty faces,” Valentino screamed as he raised his hand with two pistols, one on each hand, and turned around as he screamed and laughed.I peeped outside as I scanned the environment to ensure there was no one left to hurt me. I had seen it in the movie
