TRAPPED BY MR CEO TO BE HIS FIANCÉE
I lost everything the night my parents died. What the world called a tragic accident, I know was something far worse. Left with nothing but debts and a younger brother to protect, survival became my only goal.
Desperate and out of options, I accepted a job as a secretary at B&S Incorporated, owned by the infamous billionaire, Bryan Smith. Cold, arrogant, and used to getting whatever he wants, he was the last person I ever wanted to work for.
But I didn’t have a choice.
Then he made me an offer that changed everything.
Be his fiancée. Just pretend. In return, he would give me the money I desperately needed.
It was supposed to be simple. No feelings. No attachment. Just a contract.
But nothing about Bryan Smith was simple.
The longer I stayed, the more I realized I wasn’t just trapped in a deal… I was trapped with a man who had no intention of letting me go.
“Do you really need this job?” he asked.
I swallowed hard, forcing myself to nod. “Yes.”
His gaze darkened as he leaned back in his chair.
“How desperate are you?”

Chapter: OUT OF CONTROLDONALDDid she really mean everything she said. Was she serious about it. About us pretending like we were strangers. Like none of this ever existed. I stood there for a moment, trying to process it, trying to make sense of the sudden distance she had thrown between us like it was nothing. My eyes stayed on her even as she walked away, like I was waiting for her to turn back and say she did not mean it. She did not. She just kept walking.Something inside me snapped quietly, like a thin thread finally giving way after being stretched too far.The anger in me rose fast, hot and uncontrollable, settling deep in my chest until it felt like I could not breathe properly. I clenched my jaw, my hands tightening by my sides. I could feel it building, that dangerous edge where I could say something I would regret. So instead, I swallowed everything down, forced it back, and the only thing I managed to say was a short, tight “okay.”It felt empty leaving my mouth. It felt like surrender.She le

Chapter: DRAWING THE LINESSARAHA lot has happened these past few days and I still cannot put a proper name to how I feel. Everything feels tangled inside me, like thoughts and emotions fighting for space in my chest. One minute I am fine, the next I feel uneasy for no clear reason. I keep telling myself to stay calm, to act like everything is normal, but deep down I know something has shifted. Even the air around me feels different.I used to think people exaggerated when they said the fear of someone powerful could control a whole environment, but now I understand it. Donald is not just any student. I never realized how popular he was among the girls until recently. It is almost suffocating. Everywhere I go, there are eyes on me. Some of them are curious, some judgmental, and others outright hostile. If it is not the constant stares, then it is the subtle threats hidden behind fake smiles and whispers that stop the moment I walk past.It makes me feel unsafe in a way I cannot openly admit. I keep wondering w

Chapter: THE DISTANCE BETWEEN USCALIAs I walked down the street, the tears would not stop. They kept falling no matter how many times I tried to wipe them away. My vision blurred, but I kept moving, one step after the other, like stopping would only make everything worse.What was happening to my life.Just a few hours ago, everything already felt heavy, confusing, exhausting. And now this.Edward.The doctor’s words kept echoing in my head, refusing to fade. I had gone there thinking it was the same thing we had been told before. Something manageable. Something we could work through.But this was different.Completely different.I had been so sure before. So certain that it was just a heart condition we could treat, something we could slowly get through together. But now it felt like the ground beneath me had shifted without warning.How did it get worse.How did it turn into something this serious without me even noticing.I felt lost. Completely lost.I didn’t even know what to do anymore.Everything was crashin

Chapter: ORDERED TO BREAKUPBRYANThe moment I got home, I didn’t bother stopping anywhere else. I went straight to my room, shutting the door behind me harder than I intended. The sound echoed slightly, but I didn’t care. My head was already filled with too many thoughts, all of them circling back to the same thing.Cali.I ran my hand through my hair, pacing slowly across the room. My jaw was tight, my fists clenching and unclenching at my sides without me even noticing.How could she do that.How could she walk away from me like that and go after him.The image replayed in my mind again. Her standing there, choosing to follow Steve instead of me. Choosing him after everything.It didn’t sit right with me. It didn’t make sense.I scoffed quietly, shaking my head.And Steve.I let out a dry laugh, though there was nothing funny about it. He had stood there like he was ready to take on the world, like he was some kind of hero. And yet, it didn’t take much for him to fall. One hit and he was already struggling.S

Chapter: WHAT IS WRONG WITH BRYANCALI“You left home alone.”Bryan’s voice cut through the air before I even fully registered his presence. I turned, startled, and there he was, walking toward me with that same unreadable expression he always carried. Calm on the outside, but there was something else beneath it. Something I couldn’t quite place, something that made my chest tighten slightly.For a second, I just stared at him.Was he serious right now.After everything, after the way things had been, that was what he chose to say. Not where I was going. Not if I was fine. Just that.I opened my mouth to respond, irritation already rising inside me, but before I could say anything, everything changed in a split second.“Son of a bitch.”The voice came from behind me, sharp and filled with anger.And then it happened.I barely had time to process it before I saw Bryan stumble back, his hand flying to his face as he hit the ground.My breath caught in my throat.I turned quickly, my heart racing, and that was when I saw

Chapter: HE KNOWS MY LITTLE SECRET“What is it?” I asked, watching him closely as something in his expression shifted. He dragged in a breath like the words were stuck somewhere deep inside him, refusing to come out.“I don’t know how to say this, Cali,” he said quietly. “I feel guilty for everything, so I just don’t know how to say it.”I tilted my head slightly, trying to lighten whatever weight he was carrying. “Come on. You’re not a coward. And if anything happened, remember I’m always here.”“Yeah, that’s the problem,” he replied, his voice tightening. “I failed you, Cali. I failed you.”I frowned at that, genuinely confused. “You’ve never failed me,” I said without hesitation, because I couldn’t recall a single moment where he had let me down. Not really. Not in any way that mattered.Well, except one thing.The one thing I never allowed myself to dwell on for too long.He only ever saw me as a friend.But even that wasn’t something I could hold against him. Feelings don’t come on command, and he never pretended
