The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirteen: Lesson One
Rose‘s POV “Ready to begin?” “W-what?” His words caught me off guard as I wasn’t expecting him to start immediately. “If you’re ready we'll start our first lesson now,” He said, staring at me intently. “Umm…” I blinked, unsure of what to say. My eyes met his intent gaze and I knew I had to accept. I had to make him believe that I was ready to work towards getting better and getting rid of my anxiety. “I'm ready,” I finally responded in a barely audible voice while wondering what he had in mind for our first session. “We don’t have to start today if you are not comfortable with it,” I knew he was trying to be nice to me but I didn’t let his words fool me. I needed him to completely believe my act and the only way to do that was to make him believe that I was truly eager to dispose of my fear and be more open to having relations with men. “I’m ready. I don’t want to continue this way anymore,” “Good,” I heard the hint of praise in his voice as though he was proud of his decision
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Fourteen: Chinese lessons
Rose’s POVThe warm water from the shower nozzles cascaded over me, and with its warmth came the memories of the previous night spent in the arms of Jian. After the session in his office, he’d carried me to my bedroom and prepared a warm bath for me to soak in. I thought that would be the end of it but he proceeded to clean me up and get me ready for bed, even tucking me in and kissing me on my forehead before retiring to his bedroom. The man literally took the word ‘aftercare’ to great heights and it was something I hadn’t expected, considering the conclusions I’d drawn about him.I let my mind drift to how he’d changed my perspective of him over the past few days, beginning from the night he’d caught me having a little time of my own at the liquor cabinet. Who knew we’d go from trying to break each other into settling for peace? But as soon as these thoughts crossed my mind, I frowned slightly, realizing that I was already deviating from the real intentions behind my plans and I was
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Fifteen: A liar and a cheat
Rose’s POVI didn’t know how long I was there reading through the document but eventually, I set it aside as there was nothing interesting or any useful information that could help me get out of my situation. It mostly consisted of different kinks that Jian was interested in and it also spoke of how every session has to be consensual. Although some of the kinks intrigued me and I found myself considering the possibility of trying them out, I eventually tossed the file aside. Everything it contained was basically all that Jian had informed me of after we’d restructured the initial time frame of the contract to three months. But then, a fleeting thought passed through my mind.What if everything works in my favor and he decides not to let go of me at the end of the three months? What if he goes back on his promise and keeps me here against my will and decides to follow the original contract term of a year? My gut twisted with as these thoughts invaded me. Seeing as there was no written
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Sixteen: A trip down memory lane
Rose’s POVMy eyes were still fixed on the note as I read it over and over again, with the words floating around my head, feeding my anger. I couldn’t believe he’d cheat on his girlfriend and go as far as purchasing another sub from an auction when his lover was away. I was still staring at the note when the door suddenly opened and my gaze snapped to it to see him standing there, his eyes narrowed at me and a small frown marring his face. He took a step forward and I rose to my feet, with the note and pictures still clutched in my hands.“Rosie?” he called in a questioning tone. If I wasn’t angry that I’d been the other woman he was cheating on his girlfriend with, I could have found it ridiculous that he had such impeccable acting skills, with the concerned look on his face as though he wasn’t a devil from hell, a wolf in sheep's clothes. I wonder what else he was hiding and what other web of lies and dirty games he was building. “You know for a tiny moment, I thought I could have
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Seventeen: Lesson two
Rose’s POV “No! Let me go,” I screeched, hitting my fists against his back as he effortlessly threw me over his shoulder and began climbing up the stairs, to the only place I knew he’d reserved for my punishment_his playroom. “You have no right to treat me this way, you bastard! You must be retarded if you think I’d be a willing participant to help you keep your dirty little secret,” I ranted and rambled on, still struggling against his hold but he had to have held me with an iron fist because the arm around my legs held on tightly, not wavering for once or even slacking in it’s hold. It didn’t take time for him to get to the playroom and unlock the door. He dumped me on the hard floor and proceeded to lock the door before walking towards me. I was still seated on the floor but I tried to scramble away from his reach as fast as I could but I must have underrated his reflexes because, in the next instant, he caught and pulled me along to the table in the middle of the room. Unlike the
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Eighteen: An Escape means
Rose’s POVThe shame of my actions washed over me as I remained on the bed, still reeling from Jian’s words. I’d acted out of context and destroyed all of my plans even before they started. ‘How could I be so stupid?’ This was the question I asked myself over and over again but the only reasonable answer that came was one I wasn’t ready to admit.Yes, I’d been offended at the thought of being the other woman but seeing those pictures of another woman in his desk made something snap within me. The few days he’d shown me his nice and caring side had made me unconsciously drop my guard and I thought we were beginning to build trust, but everything snapped the moment I conceived the notion that he had no form of respect for me.More so, the woman in the pictures was incredibly beautiful. I didn't hold a candlelight next to her. The feelings of being an inferior next to her struck me with so much disdain that I channeled all of that into my resolving hate for Jian and I all but strengthen
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Nineteen: Growing Attraction
Rose’s POV “Be a good girl while I’m gone, pet,” Jian leaned in to kiss my cheek before rising to his feet and exiting the dining room. I drew in a deep breath as soon as I was alone and reclined into my seat, staring at the dishes before me. After our little conversation in the bedroom, I’d finally swallowed my shame and had shown up for breakfast, feeling much better and at peace with myself than I did when I woke up. All through breakfast, my focus was on the meal and I didn’t spare Jian a glance, nor even Greta as I was still too ashamed to face her. But now that I was done, I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I cleared the table and carried the dishes into the kitchen, where she was wiping down the counter with a washcloth. When our eyes met, she uttered no words and returned her attention to the work at hand. A pang of guilt tugged at my heartstrings and bile rose in my throat as I searched for the appropriate way to tender my apology. I walked to the dishwasher and loaded all of
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Twenty: Exposed
Rose’s POV As the car slowed to a stop, the first thing I noticed was the crowd of paparazzi around the entrance to the building where the event was to be held. Seeing them chase down every of the invited guests with their cameras ready to record made me sick to my stomach. ‘Maybe accepting to attend the ball was a mistake,’ I couldn’t risk getting photographed or videoed. It would draw attention to me and my cover would be blown. Worse still, Don Torelli could finally get onto me. This thought alone had my heart palpitating widely. I glanced at Jian and his eyes met mine. As if he could sense the thick waves of anxiety rolling off me, he squeezed my palm that was still in his hold, resting on his thigh. “Don’t worry, we won’t be getting down here. I hate them too,” he murmured the last part but his words brought me immense relief as I relaxed into my seat once again while the car kept going until we were at the back of the building. When it finally came to a stop, we alighted and
