Trapped To The Billionaire Devil
“Why are you like this, Axel?” she asked in a low voice, her tone slightly breaking. “Why won't you just leave me alone?”
For a moment, something inside me stirred. I reached out slowly and placed my fingers under her chin, lifting her face.
She tried to look away, but I wouldn’t let her. Tears pooled in her eyes, but she bit her lower lip stubbornly, trying to keep them from falling.
But that tiny act of defiance… God, it did something to me. I wanted to pull her closer, to claim her, to make her mine and never let anyone else touch her.
“One year,” I said finally.
She frowned. “What?”
“I want you,” I said clearly. “For one year, you’ll be my woman. In exchange, I’ll take care of you, your needs, your family’s protection, your brother’s freedom. Everything.”
***
After catching her scumbag boyfriend in bed with her coworker, Olivia Brooks did what any heartbroken woman might… she drowned her sorrows at a club.
One too many drinks later, she ended up in the arms of a dangerously handsome stranger. What she didn’t know was that the man she mistook for a gigolo was Axel Reynolds, a ruthless billionaire with a taste for control.
Olivia tried to move on and bury the memory of that reckless night… until fate delivered a cruel twist. Axel Reynolds wasn’t just anyone—he was her step sister’s soon-to-be husband.
Now, trapped between guilt and desire, Olivia wants to hide the truth. But Axel has already found her, and the devil never lets go of what he claims.

Chapter: Shelter Where Walls FallOliviaBy the time I drove into my apartment complex, the sky had already darkened. I parked my car in my usual spot, turned off the engine, and just sat there.I rested my forehead briefly against the steering wheel and let out a slow, weary sigh.Today had just been… No—everything lately had been too much.The blackmail.The constant fear that one wrong move would shatter everything.I really wished that I could talk to someone about it.To tell someone how scared I was… how trapped I felt.How every decision I made felt like walking on thin ice over deep, freezing water.But I couldn’t.I couldn’t afford to.This was my problem. My burden. My cross to carry alone. Dragging someone else into it would only make things worse.I straightened up, forced myself to take a deep breath, and grabbed my bag.I locked the car and walked toward my apartment building. All I wanted right now was a hot shower and just sleep. I had no appetite for food at all.When I reached my floor and turned tow

Chapter: When the Pillars CrumbleAxel“Mother!”I didn't even know she was awake.She didn’t say a word and simply turned and walked out, as if every ounce of strength she had left was focused on putting distance between herself and the room.I rushed after her immediately.“Mother!”She stepped into the next hospital room, the one she had been placed in earlier, but she had barely crossed the door before her body seemed to give up on her entirely.“Mother…!”I lunged forward just in time, catching her as she collapsed. The impact drove us both to the floor, but I didn’t feel the pain. All I could feel was the terrifying lightness of her body in my arms.I wrapped my arms around her instinctively, holding her upright as she crumpled against my chest.Her hands flew to her mouth, both of them pressing tightly as if she were trying to keep something inside—her screams, her heartbreak, her dignity. But it was useless.Broken sobs tore through her. Her shoulders shook violently, her breath coming out in painful gasps as

Chapter: Echoes of a Buried PastAxel I sat beside my father’s hospital bed, my mind utterly blank. I didn’t know how long I had been sitting there like that—staring at the steady rise and fall of his chest, listening to the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor beside him. Could it really be true? Could Father have been married before he married Mother? No. It was impossible. My father was a man who valued family, reputation, and responsibility above all else. He had always been devoted to my mother. Yet no matter how much I tried to deny it, the image of Mother’s face refused to leave my mind. That look of shock, fear… recognition. It hadn’t been the face of a woman hearing a ridiculous lie for the first time. It had been the face of someone whose worst nightmare had just stepped out of the shadows. What was really going on? How did Mother know Sarah? Why had she fainted the moment she saw her? My head throbbed painfully as the questions piled up, one after another, until it felt like my skull might sp

Chapter: What A Day!Jasmine My eyes instantly widened in shock. Did I hear that right? Did she really just say that? Vincent’s… first wife? Wait... No. That couldn’t be right. That had to be some kind of a joke, right? I looked at the woman standing in front of Axel… Sarah, who looked far too calm for someone who had just dropped a bomb like that. Axel stared at her as if she had suddenly grown two heads. “What? What does that even mean?” Before Sarah could answer, Katherine exploded. Her composure vanished entirely as she stepped forward, her face twisted with anger. “The nerve!” Katherine snapped. “The absolute audacity you have to come here and spew such nonsense! You should have been thrown out of here long ago, you pathetic liar!” She turned sharply toward Derek and Jose, pointing at Sarah like she was pointing at filth. “You two… get this lunatic out of here immediately!” But Sarah didn’t flinch. She didn’t raise her voice or argue. She didn’t even look offended. She just stood there

Chapter: When the Past Refuses to Stay BuriedAxel The hospital lights were the first thing I noticed when I pushed through the revolving doors and rushed forward. Derek and Jose were right behind me, walking as fast as I was as I thought of one person… My father. The call had come last night when I was in an urgent meeting with some of our top investors in Toronto, trying to seal some contracts. The moment Mother’s call came through and she told me that Father had collapsed during a meeting here in New York, everything inside me just went blank. I had wanted to leave Toronto immediately, but couldn’t. There were no flights until hours later. The plane landed in New York around 5 a.m., and I came straight to the hospital. When I got to the hospital corridor, my eyes quickly scanned the waiting area until I saw them. My mother sat rigidly on one of the chairs, her head lowered, her hands clasped tightly together in her lap. Aunt Katherine sat beside her, unusually quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. Jasmine stood a fe

Chapter: Black CallOlivia Earlier that same day… “…and that is why strategic alignment remains the backbone of sustainable business management,” the lecturer said as he paced slowly across the front of the hall. “No matter how brilliant an idea may appear, without structure and accountability, it will eventually collapse.” I sat there with my pen hovering uselessly above my notebook, the words on the board blurring into meaningless lines. My heart was in turmoil. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t focus. The lecturer’s voice kept fading in and out, drowned by the pounding of my pulse in my ears. I glanced down at my watch. Too early. I forced my eyes back to the lecturer, but my thoughts betrayed me immediately, drifting back to the message burned into my mind. I checked my watch again. Please… just end already. The lecturer adjusted the papers in his hand and cleared his throat. “That will be all for today. I’ll see you all next time.” The sound of chairs scraping against the

Becoming The Billionaire's Fake Wife
“All this time, I was just a mere substitute to you? A replacement for someone you lost?”
“It’s not that simple, Sheila. I—”
“Don’t! I trusted you. Every embrace, every word, the heartfelt feelings—it was all for her, wasn’t it? Did you ever love me, Andrew? Did you ever feel something for me? Tell me!”
“Sheila, I……Sorry……”
*********************
Sheila found out her boyfriend cheated on her and then lost her . Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, she realizes how naive she still was. Her father and stepmother, her so-called family, forced her to marry a stranger, and treated her like a bargain item at a mall sale.
On the other hand, Andrew's father tried to pressure him into an engagement by threatening his inheritance. Andrew felt a sense of powerlessness as well as amusement, as he didn't care about the inheritance; he had already made a name for himself as a successful and feared business magnate.
But when he saw Sheila's smiling face, Andrew's blood froze for a moment, and his eyes were filled with shock, doubt, nostalgia, and a hint of tenderness that he hadn't even noticed. He thought that maybe this was a chance given to him by fate, and this time he had to grab it no matter what, but he didn't know how the decision he made at this moment would change his life.

Chapter: A New BeginningPhoebe’s POVThe men’s taunts and shoves suddenly stopped, replaced by an angry shout. "Turn off those damn bright lights!" one of them yelled.The harsh, blinding beam of a car’s headlights cut through the alley like a spotlight, and I had to squint against the glare. The three men cursed, stumbling back, clearly irritated."Hey, you! Get out of here with that light!" one of them yelled. I didn’t waste a second. With all the desperation I felt in my chest, I screamed, "Help! Please, help me!"The car’s headlights were so bright, I couldn’t see the driver at all—just the silhouette of someone sitting behind the wheel. The men looked at each other, muttering curses before taking a few steps back, clearly annoyed but not ready to give up.I could barely breathe in the tense silence, but I was just so relieved that they were backing off. It was a small victory, but it was enough to make me feel a flicker of hope. I had to get away—get to safety before they changed their minds.Then the c

Chapter: Help had arrivedPhoebe’s POV Carla’s face burned with rage as she stormed toward Rachel, grabbing her by the hair and yanking hard. “You think I wouldn’t find out? You’ve been sneaking around with my husband!” Rachel yelped, struggling to free herself. “You’re crazy! Let go of me, Carla! What the hell is wrong with you?!” The chaos erupted as other staff members tried to intervene. One of them, Lily, Rachael's best friend, stepped forward and slapped Carla hard across the face. “Enough, Carla! Stop acting like this is Rachel’s fault! Your husband doesn’t even love you—he’s only sticking around for the kids!” Carla froze for a moment, her face contorting with fury. “How dare you say that to me? He told you that crap? So, you've also been sleeping with my husband?!” she hissed before lunging at Lily. The room descended into utter chaos as Carla clawed at Rachel and then turned on Lily, who shoved her back. “Get off me, you fat pig!” Rachel shouted, pushing Carla away. The staff scrambled t

Chapter: Grab Some Popcorn Phoebe’s POVI had barely taken a few steps when I slipped on the spilled water on the floor, losing my balance and crashing to the ground. The crash of the glass milkshake I was holding hitting the floor echoed like thunder. I stood frozen, staring at the mess. The thick, sticky liquid spread across the floor, and I could feel my heart sink.Who the hell had spilled water here?!“Phoebe!” My boss’s sharp voice cut through the air like a knife. He was fuming, his face red with frustration. “What the hell is wrong with you? How many times do I have to tell you to be careful?”I opened my mouth to apologize, but he was already shaking his head in disgust.“Get the mop and clean this up, now! I don't want to hear any of your silly excuses,” He ordered. His tone was harsher than usual, and I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks.These past weeks had been nothing short of a nightmare. It felt like trouble followed me wherever I went. Just last week, I was blamed for serving a customer t

Chapter: Family's BlessingSheila's POVI was in my room with Mom, carefully organizing the clothes Granny had recently bought for me. There were so many that I wondered when I would have the chance to wear them all. I kept telling her I had enough, but my sweet Granny wouldn't hear of it. "Sheila," Mom began, her voice gentle yet curious, "I've noticed Andrew dropping you off quite often lately. Are you two back together?" A warm blush immediately crept up my cheeks. I paused, folding a shirt, and then replied, "We're just taking things slowly, Mom. One step at a time." She looked at me with a knowing smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "I see," she said, her tone teasing. "Well, if you're really sure about giving Andrew another chance, then I give you my blessings." I felt a surge of happiness and gratitude. I walked over to her, enveloping her in a tight hug. "Thank you, Mom. You've always stood by me, and I can't express how much that means to me." She pulled back slightly, holding my hands i

Chapter: The Fight Had Just BegunAndrew's POVA few weeks had passed since the chaos surrounding Therese and everything else had settled. Alfred was back to work after being suspended for weeks without pay, and things with Sheila had been going progressively smoothly. I had been buried in work, the weight of the business constantly hanging over my head. As I sat in my office, typing away on my laptop, a sharp knock on the door interrupted my concentration. Before I could respond, the door swung open, and my parents entered. My secretary rushed in after them, looking flustered. It was obvious she had tried to stop them, but they were having none of it. "Andrew," my father called out, his tone already tinged with annoyance. My mother followed behind him, her expression unreadable but no less intense. My secretary stepped into my office and began to explain. "I... I apologize, Mr. Walker. They insisted on seeing you immediately," she said nervously. "They refused to wait for me to inform you before they barged i

Chapter: Second Chance Sheila's POVAs the plane touched down in the city, I felt a sense of relief mixed with anxiety. We were finally back, but the weight of everything that had happened still loomed over me. As soon as the plane’s door opened, the cold rush of air hit us, and I could see the flashing lights of police cars waiting on the tarmac. They were already here, prepared for whatever would unfold next. As we began to step off the plane, the sound of raised voices reached us. Turning around, I saw Andrew's guards holding Anna back, their grip firm as she struggled against them. "Please, I just need to talk to her!" Anna cried out desperately, her voice trembling. "I promise I don't mean any harm!"Andrew’s expression darkened as he stepped forward. “Take her away,” he ordered, his tone cold and unyielding. “I don’t want to see her again.” “No! Please, Mistress, just a moment! I need to say something to you,” Anna pleaded, her voice growing louder. Her tear-filled eyes met mine, and the despe

Chapter: EpilogueSix months later… The hall was packed. Rows of chairs were filled with men and women from different walks of life—doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, dignitaries, and men of wealth and influence who had flown in from across countries. Suddenly, the MC, a tall man in a black suit with a broad smile, walked to the podium. The murmurs in the room quieted as he tapped the microphone once. “Ladies and gentlemen,” his voice rang clearly across the hall, “It is my honor to announce the award for the Best Surgeon of the Year —an award that recognizes excellence, dedication, and a heart that never gives up in the service of humanity. And this year’s award goes to…” He paused dramatically, smiling at the crowd. “Dr. Emma Morgan!” The room erupted with applause, cheers, and whistles. Many stood from their seats in excitement as cameras flashed in Emma’s direction. Emma, dressed in an elegant deep blue gown, froze

Chapter: A Wish Come TrueThe room fell silent.Claire’s wide eyes darted between her mother and David. She looked utterly stunned, her little lips parting in disbelief. Slowly, she shook her head.“Mommy,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Is this like when you told me to call Uncle Chris ‘daddy’? Is it just pretend again?”Emma’s heart ached. She reached for her daughter’s hand, tears pooling in her eyes. “No, sweetheart. This isn’t make-believe. I’m so sorry for not telling you earlier. David is your real father.”David took a hesitant step forward. He knelt down so he could look Claire straight in the eyes. His hands trembled as he gently held hers.“I know I’ve missed so much,” he said softly, his voice breaking with emotion. “Your first steps, your first words… six years of your life I’ll never get back. That’s my biggest regret. I should have been here from the very beginning. But if you’ll let me, I promise from today, I’ll never leave your side again.

Chapter: Birthday Celebration
The long-awaited day had finally come—Claire’s sixth birthday.Emma and Sophie had been awake since dawn, making sure everything was perfect, while David had insisted on taking part in the preparations too.The birthday hall looked like a dream. It was transformed into the world of Moana, Claire’s favorite cartoon character.Bright turquoise drapes hung like ocean waves across the ceiling, and seashell decorations sparkled under the lights. A giant backdrop of Moana standing bravely by the sea was set against the wall behind the cake table. Balloons in blue, white, and coral pink floated everywhere, and paper palm trees stood in the corners, giving the hall the feeling of an island paradise.Claire entered the hall dressed in a stunning gown that instantly stole everyone’s attention. It was a soft sky-blue dress with sparkly patterns that shimmered like the sea. A sash tied at her waist with a little seashell brooch made her look like a real princ

He sighed, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed the bridge of his nose. His thoughts kept drifting—not to the reports in front of him—but to Claire. Her birthday was fast approaching, and he still hadn’t decided on the perfect gift for his baby girl.He suddenly heard a knock.“Come in,” David called.The door opened and Felix stepped in. David’s eyes widened a little in surprise. He hadn’t expected him.“Felix,” David said, pushing the papers aside. “What a surprise, man.”“David,” Felix replied with a cheerful nod as they shook hands.“It’s been a while,” David said, studying him with a small smile. “How’s work?”Felix leaned back in his seat. “Work is great, actually.

Chapter: Airport Goodbye David, Emma, and Claire stepped out of the car and walked slowly toward the airport entrance. Today, the always cheerful Claire was unusually silent. Her small hand held tightly to Emma’s, her eyes downcast, and her lips pressed into a pout. As they walked through the automatic glass doors of the airport, they soon spotted two familiar figures waiting inside. Standing side by side, Christian and Henry had bags resting by their feet. The day had finally come. The day of Henry’s departure. When Claire saw Henry, her steps slowed. She walked slowly toward Henry, her lips trembling. Henry watched her approach, and though he kept his face calm, his heart felt heavy. When Claire finally reached him, her brave little mask broke apart. She threw her arms around Henry and began sobbing loudly. “Henry!” she cried. “I don’t want you to go!” Henry

Mathew’s sobs deepened. “She… Isabel called me. From prison. Just an hour ago. She told me the truth—she killed Selena! She poisoned her! And I… I married her… I lived with her all these years, not knowing I had married a monster.” His voice broke into loud, painful sobs. “How could I? How could I have done that? How could I have married a woman who killed my wife! I even made her your stepmother! Oh Lord!” Emma’s body went cold. She felt her heart lurch, the room spinning slightly. Isabel had called him too? David clenched his jaw. He made a mental note to speak with the warden—never to allow Isabel to contact anyone ever again. Emma swallowed hard, her voice small. “Dad… you… you didn’t know? You really didn’t know about the poison?” Mathew’s eyes widened, horrified. He shook his head firmly, clutching Emma’s hand tighter. “No! I swear, I did not! How could I have? Selena was my wife!
