Love in the CEO's Trap Chapter 22
“Do you still have to go back on stage?” I asked nervously, watching Jazper Ray as he played with my fingers.My heart was pounding. I didn’t know if I could win later. That woman in black had looked so confident. And now she was nowhere to be seen, like she’d vanished into thin air.Jazper Ray smirked. “You want to steal your date and sneak out early?”I laughed. “Why not? It’s our last night here. Besides, I don’t think I’ll win.”He gently touched my lower lip. “Your wish is always my command.”He stood up and pulled me with him. I smiled so wide my cheeks hurt. I was about to leave this ridiculous auction with my husband. No more games. No more competing with other women. Just us.Then suddenly, I bumped into his back. He’d stopped.“Where. Are. You. Going?” a voice asked, sharp and cold.I peeked around him. It was Ashley. Arms crossed, one brow raised like she was waiting for a fight.“We’re going home,” Jazper Ray answered calmly, still holding my hand. “We both participated in

"Audrey, what will you wear for the party tonight?"I blinked, stunned by Grandma Belle’s question. I looked at Jazper Ray, who seemed just as confused.Ashley walked in, carrying a few dresses and a pair of heels. "Sorry, Granny, I forgot to tell them. So, Mr. and Mrs. Jazper Ray Gibson, we have a party tonight. Make sure you get home in time.""Party?" Jazper Ray asked, brows pulled together. "You didn’t mention this last night.""Because I forgot about it," Ashley said quickly when his expression hardened. "I need to raise funds for my outreach program. The donations will go to my foundation. A lot of areas were hit hard by the typhoon."Her excitement made it hard to protest."This will be fun, I promise!" she added.I just smiled. So this was the party she mentioned before. I had no idea what to wear, but maybe one of the dresses she brought would work."Can you take the day off?" Grandma Belle asked, looking at Jazper Ray."I have an important meeting today, Grandma," he answere

"Audrey, what happened?"Ashley sounded genuinely concerned. She was holding two dresses, which she quickly placed on the edge of the bed before coming over to me."A-ah, it's nothing, Ashley. Don't mind me," I said, wiping the tears from my face."Come on, you're part of this family now. That makes me your sister, doesn't it? You can tell me anything."No. You can’t tell her what her brother did to you.My chest tightened.I took a deep breath. "I-I just miss my family a lot."That wasn’t a complete lie. I did miss them. But this, this was more than homesickness. If not for them, if not for what Dad begged me to do, I would’ve walked away and never looked back. I didn’t deserve this. I had no idea he brought me here just to break me."You want to see them?" Ashley offered me a tissue."Y-yes. I miss them very much. Especially my dad."She pulled me into a hug. "Aw, you’re such a sweet daughter. I miss my dad too when I travel abroad. But hey, if you ask Jazper Ray, I’m sure he could

Everyone's eyes landed on me.I felt cornered.Jazper Ray wasn't the kind of man you could delay. He always got what he wanted—one way or another. I already knew what he was doing. He was forcing me to accept his offer without saying it outright.“Watson, the CEO asked you something. Answer him,” Sir Adrian hissed, snapping me back to reality.“S-sorry, sir…”He leaned closer, muttering under his breath, “Stupid newbie.”I blinked, shocked.I looked up—Jazper Ray had heard it too. The sharp glare in his eyes told me everything."And that’s how you treat a woman, Adrian?” Jazper Ray said quietly, but his tone was deadly.“Sir Gibson, that’s not what I meant—”“Answer. Me. Now,” Jazper Ray cut him off, jaw clenched, voice low.The whole room stiffened.No one moved. No one breathed.Even Miggy looked pale. Like a pet who knew not to bark.“N-no, Sir Gibson,” Sir Adrian stammered, eyes wide. He sounded like he was speaking to someone twice his age.“You know what I hate the most?” Jazper

He was the one who suggested this grocery store.Before we got out of the car, he handed me a cap. “Wear this,” he said. “Just to be safe.”He put on his own cap too, though I had my doubts. Even with a hat, he still looked like someone important—like a CEO trying to hide in plain sight.I glanced down at our hands as he reached for mine. He held it tightly as we stepped inside the supermarket.People were still looking at him—even with the cap on. Some paused whatever they were doing just to stare. I lowered my head, trying to hide my face, hoping no one would recognize who he was with.The women, though? They weren’t subtle.They looked straight down at our intertwined hands, then back at me, eyebrows raised. I almost laughed. If I were them, I’d probably raise an eyebrow at myself too.Jazper Ray wrapped his arm around my waist like we hadn’t argued just a while ago. His hand fit there so naturally now, like he was used to it.Honestly? I wasn’t complaining. This felt like hitting

Miggy sat back in his swivel chair, silent but clearly annoyed.Why was he acting so rude now?Oh—I get it. You can really tell who someone is once they stop benefiting from your life.He handed me a piece of paper without a word."I need this for my first meeting with Mr. Gibson," he said.I glanced at the list. Snacks. Just snacks. Stuff you could buy at any grocery store.My forehead creased. "W-why do I need to buy this? Don’t you have an assistant for that?"Suddenly, I felt nervous. Did he know about me and Jazper Ray?I didn’t know why, but something about this felt off. Too personal. Too pointed."You’re not doing anything important, Audrey," he replied flatly. "This company would appreciate it if you made yourself useful."His words stung more than I expected. I thought back to earlier, when Jazper Ray and I were chatting. Did Miggy see it?No… he would’ve reacted immediately if he had read the whole thing.Then—"And you’re just chatting with your boyfriend now?"Shit.He sa
