Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 34 - So what exactly are we?
Casper knew that Grandpa had pride. Calling him broke was his way of making the old man regret taking the money and to return it. He also expected Grandpa to invite him to his villa for speaking to him in such a manner but when Grandpa didn’t do as expected, his suspicions grew. As for the offense committed, he had to handle it tactically, since Grandpa’s job wasn't completed until Casper was married. He could still use that to meddle in his life and just as expected, he did."Have you lost your manners because of power? Don't forget that I still have the right to interfere in your life for as long as you aren't married. You haven't made a move to acquaint yourself with the Wreaths, have you?" Grandpa hid his embarrassment and the fury boiling inside of him, while he straightened himself and walked towards the balcony. Caesar was upset. He knew it was Casper again. He was the only trouble his father had and if he had his way, he would take him out of the way.Casper clutched the phone
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 35 - Casper meets Anna
What exactly were they? Casper hadn't thought about it. He only knew that he would never let her go but never thought of a title to give her. He only asked her to be his friend so she wouldn't be afraid of him. But she was always more than that. He didn't know how deep his feelings were for her so her question baffled him yet, he couldn't lie to her. "I haven't thought about that part." There were complicated emotions in his gentle voice but Jenna couldn't help being disheartened with his words. "I guess it's complicated." There was remorse in her tone as she lowered her head to avoid his intricate gaze.Casper pulled her to him and lifted her chin to meet his dark gaze. "No." He paused and stared at her. He felt an aching heart when he saw the sadness in her eyes. He wanted her to be happy but that happiness should only come from him. He didn't care that he was being selfish. For as long as he had her, then everyone should be happy. He didn't hide the conflicting emotions in his to
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 36 - Just a reminder of your promise tomorrow
“Jenna, why are you so busy, it's time for lunch.” Peggy had finished admiring Jenna's office and finally said. Jenna lifted her head, rubbing her temple tiredly. She really needed a break. “Casper said he'll take me out for lunch later.” Peggy's eyes narrowed at the remembrance of the rumours. She had even realized that Jenna, as a manager, was on the same floor as the CEO. No matter how she tried, she was tempted to believe that something wasn't right. “Are you talking about Mr Blade? Why do you address him so casually?” Peggy asked with an air of novelty.Jenna forced a smile. She couldn't tell Peggy everything like Kate since they hadn't been in touch for long. It was better to be cautious than to cry later in regret. “We were friends before I started working here,” she pressed her lips and said.She wasn't lying even though it wasn't the main reason. She met Casper before she knew he was her boss so she was still telling the truth. Peggy nodded her head thoughtfully.“No wonder
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 37 - There's no love between us
"Why did you purchase a new set of contraceptives?" Kate had dropped off Peggy and together with Jenna, they had just gotten to the living room when Kate saw the items and asked. She didn’t understand the reason why Jenna would still buy more when there was still some in the medicine cabinet."Do you think I don't know that Cathan sneaks in here? How can I be sure that you still have some left?" Kate crimsoned slightly at being caught. Cathan hardly shows up during the day but at night, he was sure to come. Kate thought that Jenna didn’t know but now, she proved otherwise. But the content of Jenna’s purchase was still too much, which made Kate curious."But you bought a lot. Does it mean?" Jenna’s cheeks were heating up at Kate’s teasing so she shifted her attention back to the purchase in her hand. "It means nothing. I'm just taking precautions." Kate’s brows knitted with worry. "You know he's not yours but you want to enjoy the little time you have with him?" "Is that wrong?" Jenn
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 38 - Tell me everything
Drake's shoulders hunched in anxiety, as he awaited her response. "I am not in the position to tell you the reason, I'm sorry." His countenance fell, as his fears began to surge through him. However, he had to feign some confidence to get the answers he craved. He straightened up, his voice laced with confidence. "But you can't do that. As a citizen, I have the right to know." The person at the receiving end didn't sound shaken. She seemed to know what she was saying. "The reason will be made known to you but not by me. I might as well inform you that the same rule applies to all ticketing offices." Drake could feel a blanket of hot waves covering him at the moment, he began to sweat profusely. "Wait, you...." The beeping sound was a clear indication that the person on the other side had hung up the phone. Drake ruffled his hair and went to wake Eve. They were in this together and as much as he now hated her, he needed her help. "You can't be sleeping. Wake up," he tapped Eve on
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 39 - Anna Strikes
At Drake’s apartment, he was oblivious to what had happened to Jenna, seemingly worried. The line disconnected by itself. Does it mean she was angry? Was she going to plead with Casper?Just as he was about to dial Jenna’s number again, he heard the sound of keys turning in the keyhole and hid the phone. When the door flung open, a woman wearing a black pair of skinny trousers, a black top, and a black jacket with her hair held in a ponytail walked in.Seeing how young she looked, Drake laughed internally. It won’t be difficult for him to escape. Somehow, he wondered why Casper would send such a feeble woman. After all, she didn’t look tough.The woman didn’t utter a word and walked directly to Eve with a bottle of cold water in her hand, pouring it on the sleeping woman. Eve woke up shivering from the cold. “Drake, what’s going on, who is she?” She asked when her eyes met the familiar figure before what happened an hour ago came flooding in. Drake turned his attention toward the woma
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 40 - Her name is Donna Wreath
Grandpa seemed to be in a good mood in contrast to Casper. He delivered the news as if it was a business deal worth billions of dollars. "The Wreaths have made a move. They want to see their son-in-law-to-be and become acquaintances." Casper felt a sharp pain, close to that of a terrible headache at what grandpa had said. He always assured himself that he had enough time but the Wreaths seemed to be in a hurry. He closed his eyes in frustration and opened it. An unfamiliar air of superiority circulated the dimly lit office when he looked at the sleeping figure on the sofa. He wouldn’t do anything to harm her."Why should they be the ones to make the move? They are paid by the Blades so they should lie low till we give the go-ahead,” Casper said insipidly.Over time, tradition never forbade the Wreaths from making the first move but Casper was using his authority to suppress the meeting between both parties. If Jenna found out that preparations were being made toward his marriage, he
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 41 - Caleb messes with Hunter again
“Yes, it’s all in here.” Hunter handed over a big envelope to Casper as soon as they entered his office together. His voice was hoarse from fatigue, as he suppressed the urge to give in to a nudging yawn. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked slightly disheveled in his jeans and t-shirt. Since he was a shadow bodyguard, he didn’t dress in a suit like the others. Before Casper opened the document, his desktop phone rang. He beckoned Hunter to sit while he answered it.“Mr Blade, Grandpa’s seventieth Birthday is in a month. Should I announce a grand event?” The HR manager asked politely. It used to be an annual event but since Grandpa had retired, Casper needed to give her affirmation. Casper wasn’t completely heartless. Paving the way for the great was a way of paving the way for his own greatness. After all, it was also the opportunity for more business collaborations because grandpa was connected. Casper was now building his network while acquainting himself with the
