The Billionaire's Torment Chapter 18. Disappeared
Nora's POV We took our small party to the outside party room. The big room was made totally of glass. The only solid things were the roof and the floor, every part of the property could be seen from every angle, no matter where you stood in the room. The drinks flowed, Matilda outdid herself with the food. Max poached her from Shad Rolan, the hotelier. As the day progressed, inhibitions flew out of the window, Selborne and Cathy changed saliva on the corner couch. “Children nowadays, no shame at all, look at your friend Nora.”My granny complained, her lips pursed. “Leave the children alone Sophia. They are both single, who knows Selborne might join Max and Shad, live happily ever after.” Granny Ratliff admonished. I laughed so hard at my granny's expression, she was really pissed. The guys drunkenly danced and horsed around.At some point Max clicked a spoon against a glass, the noise died down at once.“Baby, come here.” I joined him, “ mum, it's true when they say mums know be
The Billionaire's Torment Chapter 19. Passionate morning
Nora's POV Max violently pushed me away, my hand shot out on reflex, l stumbled back, Max's towel in my hand. We both looked down at his lower body, he in consternation, me in fascination. This was the second time l saw my husband naked. The first time i turned the other way when he took off his shirt, so l did not get to see the package, only felt it when he tried to penetrate me. My gaze fixed on it, the size was impressive even in slumber. My feet moved on their own accord, l stood before him, then knelt. My hand snaked to his rod, l gripped it and heard him inhale deeply. I started pumping my eyes on his, the anger had been replaced by desire. He closed his eyes and threw his head back. When his rod rose to half mast l took him in my mouth and licked. He gasped and moaned, pulled himself out and picked me off the floor. He deposited me on the bed, tore my nightie and tossed it aside. l was naked underneath.Max's POV I entered my bedroom to find Nora in a deep sleep. I disrobe
The Billionaire's Torment Chapter 20. Headaches
Caesar Shaman entered his house to find his wife sloshed, an almost empty bottle of wine between her wide spread legs, her head resting on the edge of the couch.She peered at him with red, swollen eyes, her neck and face flushed red. She tilted her head and the contents in the glass went down the hatch, “ oh, it's you.” She sounded disappointed. “Who were you expecting?.” “The Sniper of course.” Caesar bent down and removed the bottle between her legs, he remarked over his shoulder as he put the bottle at the bar. “Angela, your drinking is getting out of hand, l think it's time to visit the psychologist, pour out anything that is bothering you.”Angela belched loudly and stared balefully at her husband, “ you are my problem, l don't need someone to tell me what i already know. I know you have sabotaged me, where is The Sniper? He went radio silent after you and he whispered outside the other day. Caesar, you won't stop me. Steel Cage is there if The Sniper has abandoned the assign
The Billionaire's Torment Chapter 21. First surgery
Nora’s POV I remarked as l dressed, “ it will be more problematic for me if the patient dies, when there is a qualified Dr who could have saved her.” I gave his grumpy face a quick kiss and rushed out of the bedroom.I removed my gloves, threw them in the waste bin, extended my arms and a runner took off my gown. My first surgery after coming back to my country took a lot from me, it was long and tedious, but the problem was not the long surgery hours but the patient. How ironic, my first patient happened to be my love rival’s mother. Me and my assistant Daniel Ross, headed to the washing station. I eyed him sideways as we washed our hands.“Ross, l have a favour to ask, can you please attend to the Shaman family?.”Ross studied me suspiciously. “ Why? You are the surgeon, l'm just an assistant.” I fluttered my eyes lashes at him, “please Ross, l will owe you one.” Ross shook his head vigorously, “ no Dr, l need more than that, what's going on?.” I sighed tiredly, “ Ross, the pat
The Billionaire's Torment Chapter 22. Possessive
Nora's POV “Shhh, pull the tablecloth down.” I hissed, Ross withdrew his hand and hissed back, “ come out now, they are coming over.”“They? What do you mean by ‘they?’.” “Your father in law and his sidekick, Caesar Shaman.” Oh my God. I waited until I saw brown leather shoes in my sight then I quickly got up. “Oh Ross, l can't find it. Hello.” I beamed brightly at my father in law and his friend. “What are you looking for? Just call the waiter to get it for you.” Pat Ratliff 's mocking tone told me he did not buy my story. His black eyes roamed over me, from head to toe, l squirmed inside but returned his scrutiny with a steady gaze.His eyes moved to our table, “ you have not ordered the food yet, please join us in our private dining room.”I started to shake my head, Ross stomped on my feet, l cleared my throat to mask the pain. I bobbed my head up and down in silent agreement instead.“Good, please follow us.” I grabbed my clutch bag, Ross and l tailed the duo meekly to a
The Billionaire's Torment Chapter 23. Back to back conflict
Max's POV Nora and I came to a stop just inside the kitchen. She complained, “ why are we stopping? We have to sit down for this.”“Oh, is it that serious?.” “Very.”We mounted the tall kitchen stools, side by side.“Spill.”Nora got down, opened the fridge and brought the juice pitcher and glasses to the island. She poured for both of us and sat down again. So much hedging, what happened at the hotel? “Let me tell you what happened. Your father and Caesar Shaman interrupted us as we were about to have dinner. They invited us to their private dining room. They didn't waste any time before they tore into my abilities as a Dr. Your father and his friend threatened my job. They started by claiming i'm incompetent at my job. They told me clearly that if Mrs Shaman complicates, l can forget about working.”l jumped from the chair so fast i almost toppled it, “ tell me you are joking, if you aren't, my father won't escape my wrath. That man is using you to get to me, l will not allow it.
The Billionaire's Torment Chapter 24. Good news
Nora's POV The phone rang and rang until it got cut off. I tried again and again, no luck. I picked my phone and car keys and headed to the Ratliff Group of Airlines.I greeted the familiar security guard and waved at the receptionist who scowled at me.I used my husband's elevator and got off at the 29th floor. I knocked once and pushed the door open. Zoey 's head snapped up, her face contorted into a grimace when she spotted me. “ How can l help you Mrs Ratliff?.” I ignored her mocking tone and proceeded to the inner door. “Mr Ratliff is in the meeting.”I whirled around, “ why are you here if he is at the meeting?.”Zoey sashayed towards me, turned the door handle, the room was empty.“Mrs Ratliff, l'm Mr Ratliff 's secretary not his PA.”“You are lying, l have never seen a PA here, only you.” Zoey closed the door, we stood facing each other, “ it's because Teddy was on leave plus sick leave.” I walked towards the door, “ thanks, where is the meeting being held?.”“Mrs Ratliff,
The Billionaire's Torment Chapter 25. Plan in motion
Patrick Ratliff moved around the living room aimlessly, avoiding the glass shards. He touched the broad petals of a green flower and ended up at the window. He tweaked the curtain aside and watched as his son zoomed out of the gates.His anger mounted. His son disrespected him today. The battle lines were drawn. Max's lesson would commence soon. He found a weakness in his armour. He swore to capitalise on it.Soft hands rubbed his exposed neck, “relax, your son is spirited like you. He will come around.”Pat closed the curtain and moved from the irritating hands of his wife. Marylin petted him only when she wanted something. He guessed her gentle gesture was to dilute his wrath against her dear son. It would not work.He circled the bar, bent down, searched for a moment and brought out a new decanter. He filled it with whiskey and topped his glass. He drank it neat. His throat burned, tears filled his eyes, he coughed so much Marylin rushed over and thumped his back. She took the gla
