SAVED BY THE BILLIONAIRE (18+) (COMPLETED)

Chapter 15

We continued savoring each other throughout the night. Pretty sure we worked out enough calories. Finally dozed off in exhaustion as we saw the sunlight peek through the curtains.

The next morning I woke up to an empty bed. Nick left a note saying he had some urgent work he needed to take care of and would meet me home for dinner. I decided to keep myself busy by exploring the house, maybe check the library out and then go for a swim. Afterwards I started prepping for dinner. With a kitchen this gorgeous and well equipped it was hard not to cook. And After last nights spicy marathon in bed I thought to myself my Thai Red Curry Shrimp would best represent our night. The chopping of veggies and the stirring always calmed me down, distracted me from overthinking why Nick had to leave this morning especially after last night, not to be a cliche but don't most men bring breakfast in bed after they had amazing sex and why he was gone all day. I debated whether to set the table or would it be too much of an overkill.
I waited by the sofa watching Storage Wars, but the minutes slowly turned into hours and there was still no news from Nick. Finally around midnight I got a text saying he would be late and that I should order some dinner. I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me. He was gone all morning. Was he spending time with Sophia or was he regretting last night and avoiding me.

I picked on my food, while contemplating if I should sleep in his room or sleep in the guest room. This was just a one night stand, I didn't want to make it awkward and put him in a position where he would have to tell me to sleep elsewhere. So I curled up in the guest bedroom, with a deep gnawing ache in my heart knowing that after last night I was emotionally attached to Nick and there was no going back. I was already in too deep. No one would ever be enough. He filled me to my core and every inch of my body was branded by him. He made my body sing by strumming it in countless ways. I had to sleep knowing that maybe I was not enough for him.

Next morning I woke up earlier and left to work. I see the dishes are in the sink, meaning he would have eaten, the food I cooked. I smiled in light contentment, hoping he enjoyed it. Work was busy, catching up on all that was pending. Mack was pissed and sorting out a deal that went in a different direction during his trip to Dubai.

She sees Nicks text as she is leaving work, apologizing for not seeing her this morning. Looks forward to seeing her at home. Lina was tempted to respond that she will go to her place but realizes all her stuff is still at Nicks, instead of making a big deal about their situation. She should just go to Nick's place and act like an adult.

She heads out of the building, her gut tells her something is wrong, she feels the goosebumps and brushes it off thinking that maybe she was reading into this too much. She suddenly feels a cold barrel against her back, the stench of alcohol on his breath. She freezes, she didn't have any money, she begins to tell him that when she hears his voice, Jack sneers "don't make a sound and get in the car". She sits in the back seat hoping someone would come to her rescue. But the street is quiet and the few people around are going about their business. The last thing she remembers is seeing him slam the butt of his gun on the head as she loses consciousness.

When she comes to, disoriented and with her head pounding, the feeling of dried blood trickling down her temple, she finds herself tied hands behind her back and lying on the sofa. Her top slightly undone, button popped open, cleavage on display. Jack is in the kitchen pouring himself a drink. He looks at her and says "no one will hear you if you scream, so no point wasting your breath" .She starts crying.

He walks over annoyed and slaps her across the face. "Shut up will you, this constant whimpering and crying is irritating me." He sit on the table spreads her legs as he pulls her closer to him. He leers and says "I can see you got some love bites since I last saw you, I always knew you were a slut. Who was it this time? The office lover or the knight in shining armory from the other night?" As he poked his fingers over her marks causing her to flinch in pain.

I turned my face away, closing my eyes hoping this is all a dream, I will wake up any moment and all this will be gone. He yanks my face towards him. "I think you forgot your lessons on how to respect me. Let me teach you." He says. As he grabs me I fight him off, kicking my legs with all the strength I could muster and pushing him away. He slaps me hard and I fall onto the floor bumping my head to the table on my way down. Losing consciousness, I need to fight I keep telling my self. He kicks mein the stomach and sits on top of me. Ripping my top off. He kisses me on the lips saying how I missed that mouth on my cock. I hear him unzip this pants before I fall in and out of consciousness, moaning and pleading for him to spare me. Praying to myself this can't be happening. I hear loud voices and open my eyes to see boots. Someone yanking Jack off me and another person cradling me, Jack is on the floor and someone is on top of him raining blows on his face and I black out.
