SARAH

After my last lecture, I took my handbag and stood up to leave, still feeling the dull ache from sitting too long. I was already thinking about how quickly I could get out of the building when I bumped into someone. I almost lost my balance, but a hand steadied me. It was our class rep.

"Hi," I greeted, trying to hide how distracted I felt.

He smiled easily. "Hey. Are you going home? Why don't you let me drop you off?"

For a second, I just stood there staring at him, unsure of what to say

  • TRAPPED BY MR CEO TO BE HIS FIANCÉE    A FIGHT OVER DINNER

    CALII woke up slowly, stretching my arms above my head as I tried to shake off the heaviness of sleep. The room felt quiet and warm, the kind of calm that comes in the evening when the day is almost over. I reached for my phone on the bedside table and squinted at the screen. It was ten minutes past five in the evening. I rubbed my eyes and let out a soft breath. I had not meant to sleep that long.For a moment I just sat there on the bed, trying to gather myself. The house felt unusually peaceful. I slipped out of bed and walked into the bathroom, splashing cool water on my face. The coldness helped clear the last traces of sleep from my eyes. I looked at my reflection for a second, brushed my fingers through my hair, and then stepped back into the room. It was already evening. The light coming through the window had that soft golden tone that made everything look gentle.I slipped on my pink flip flops and made my way downstairs. Each step felt light, and I could already smell som

  • TRAPPED BY MR CEO TO BE HIS FIANCÉE    THE SECRETS SHE KNOWS

    CATHERINEI finally decided to call Ceaser back. My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before I pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before he picked up.His voice came through almost immediately."I get it if you are angry about the kiss and everything. I know you can feel upset, but it was never a mistake and you cannot avoid it."I hissed quietly, rubbing my forehead. Of course that was the first thing on his mind."Ceaser, I am not avoiding anything," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "My sister got involved in an accident. That is what I am sorting right now."There was silence on the other end of the call. The kind that made you realize the other person had not expected what you just said."Oh." His voice softened immediately. "Okay. I am sorry. Where are you?"I hesitated.For a few seconds, I debated whether it was safe to tell him. Everything that had happened tonight was already too strange. Dad's words were still echoing in my head, refusing to leav

  • TRAPPED BY MR CEO TO BE HIS FIANCÉE    BEING THE SISTER I NEVER WAS

    CATHERINEWhen I got home, the compound was too quiet. No cars in their usual spots. No faint sound of the television from the sitting room. No footsteps. Just silence.Fear gripped me instantly.I barely parked properly before stepping out of the car. I rushed toward the entrance, my heartbeat pounding so loudly it almost drowned out my thoughts. The front door opened easily and I stepped inside. The house that usually felt grand and composed now felt empty and cold.A maid was walking down the hallway with a tray in her hands."Hey, you. Come here," I called out. My voice sounded sharper than I intended.She turned and hurried toward me."Where is everyone," I asked, trying to steady my breathing, trying not to sound as panicked as I felt.She hesitated for a second. "Second missy got hit by a car and was rushed to the hospital."For a moment, I did not understand what she said. The words floated in the air, disconnected from reality. Then they sank in.Emily.Hit.Hospital.My hear

  • TRAPPED BY MR CEO TO BE HIS FIANCÉE    THE EMRGENCY PHONE CALL

    CATHERINEI woke up earlier than usual today. For a few seconds I lay still, staring at the ceiling, trying to gather my thoughts. Bryan was back, which meant the office atmosphere would shift again. Everything always adjusted when he was around. The tension, the expectations, the silent pressure to be flawless. So I decided to get to work early. If I kept myself busy enough, maybe I would not have time to overthink anything else.I had already planned my escape though. Ceaser had asked to see me, and no matter how I tried to act indifferent about it, I knew I would go. We were friends. Or whatever we had managed to reduce ourselves to after everything that happened. Still, meeting him meant I needed time, and Mrs Lewis was kind enough to let me leave earlier than usual. She did not ask too many questions, just gave me that knowing smile older women seem to master.In the restroom, I stood in front of my mirror longer than necessary. I adjusted my hair, letting it fall neatly over m

  • TRAPPED BY MR CEO TO BE HIS FIANCÉE    SECRETS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

    EMILYAlthough I was relieved that Bryan was alive, the relief did not erase my own problem. It only pushed it to the side for a while. Dad had still not changed his mind about the merger. Every time I thought about it, my chest tightened. It felt like a decision already made without my consent, like I was simply expected to smile and go along with it.I had a strong feeling Catherine would agree. After all, Ceaser was her high school sweetheart. They had history. Memories. Something real to fall back on. If anyone could turn a business merger into a love story, it would be her.But meI was never going to agree to a merger with a total stranger.I could not even pretend to consider it. Marriage was not supposed to feel like signing a contract you barely understood. I might be known as the spoiled brat of the family, but even I had limits. I was not about to let my life be packaged and handed over for business gain. No romance. No choice. No fantasy. Just signatures and expectations.

  • TRAPPED BY MR CEO TO BE HIS FIANCÉE    HIDDEN JEALOUSY

    CALIBryan was about to say something when the door suddenly opened and a group of people walked in. I did not need a second glance to recognize them. They were Bryan's friends. The air in the room shifted immediately, like the privacy we had been sharing was swept away in a second."Oh, looks like we interrupted a moment," Hindley said playfully, dragging his words in that teasing tone of his.My cheeks burned instantly. I hated that I blushed so easily. They all greeted me warmly, almost too warmly, and I managed a small smile in response. I could feel Bryan beside me, calm as ever, completely unbothered by the interruption."Man, I thought you were going to die," Steve said.The words hit me strangely. I turned to look at him properly. What kind of statement was that? Who says that so casually? There was something in his expression that did not match the joke in his voice. It felt heavier than it sounded."Well, let's just say I'm special," Bryan replied smoothly."I can't agree le

    CALIThe shock on my face said everything before I could even process what my eyes were seeing. Bryan walked in with a lady in his arms like it was the most natural thing in the world. Her arms were loosely wrapped around his neck, her head tilted slightly as if she belonged there, as if that spac

    CALIWhat a jerk. Why would he even think of drafting out a contract like that? The audacity still burned in my chest as I lay back against the headrest, arms folded tightly across myself. Bryan had a way of doing things that made my blood boil-cold, calculated, and always in his favor. I stared ou
