TEN YEARS AGO — DENISE’S POV

It had been weeks since Racheal and her mother moved into our home, but I hadn’t forgotten a single detail of the day they arrived. Christopher never went near them; he barely spoke to them, and when he did, it was cold and sharp. He made their lives absolutely miserable, treating them like dirt beneath his shoes.

I spent days trying to figure out what dark history lay between them, why he hated her mother so much… and today, I finall

  • Trapped By The Handsome CEO   chapter 56

    It struck me then: Emily had been living here with me for months, yet I’d never once heard her laugh this loud, this freely, this happily before. Have I done nothing but cause her pain and misery all this time? Is that why she barely ever smiles? I thought, watching her. She was talking animatedly with Michael and Gracie, her face lit up with the brightest, most genuine smile I’d ever seen. It seems that’s exactly what I’ve done, I realized, feeling lower than dirt. I really am the worst kind of scum. “Are you absolutely sure you won’t regret your decision bringing them here?” Stephanie asked, sitting down beside me, following my gaze toward them. “What do you mean?” I frowned. “Just look at them! Do you honestly think Michael is only interested in working on the resort?” She nodded toward them. “He is doing everything he possibly can to get Emily’s attention. He’s flirting with her, making her laugh, leaning

    TEN YEARS AGO — DENISE’S POV It had been weeks since Racheal and her mother moved into our home, but I hadn’t forgotten a single detail of the day they arrived. Christopher never went near them; he barely spoke to them, and when he did, it was cold and sharp. He made their lives absolutely miserable, treating them like dirt beneath his shoes. I spent days trying to figure out what dark history lay between them, why he hated her mother so much… and today, I finally found out. And I was furious—absolutely seething—that Christopher had kept this massive secret from me all these years. I walked straight into his study without knocking, clutching an old photograph I’d found hidden away. “Can you not knock like a civilized person?!” he snapped, looking up from his desk. “Why didn’t you ever tell me that you were the one dating Racheal’s mother first? Before she even looked at your brother?!” I demanded, slamming th

    “Good morning,” Cade greeted softly, placing the breakfast tray down on the table. I didn’t answer him, just stared coldly ahead. “I brought you breakfast,” he added gently when I remained silent. “You shouldn’t have bothered. Tracy or any of the maids could have done it,” I said, shooting him a sharp, icy look. “But I wanted to do it. Remember? You were always the one bringing me breakfast every morning…” he began. “And you never bothered to even touch it, let alone eat it,” I cut him off, my voice trembling slightly. “So tell me… why should I eat anything you give me now?” “Because it’s my way of apologizing to you,” he said, stepping closer. “Your way of apologizing is pathetic and weak. Eat it yourself, because I won’t be touching a single bite,” I said, trying to walk past him and leave the room. He caught my arm, pulled me back against his chest, and wrapped

    I woke up to a soft sound by the door—there was only one person it could be: Cade. I squeezed my eyes shut and pretended to be fast asleep. After everything that had happened earlier, after the cruel words and the hurt, it had taken him ages to come back. I had hoped he wouldn't return to the room at all, but he did. I lay perfectly still, keeping up the act. I heard his footsteps move softly around the room. Usually, he would just check and leave immediately, but this time… the door never clicked shut. He wasn't leaving. Why isn't he walking away? I wondered, my heart hammering. Suddenly, I felt the mattress dip. He pulled the covers up and settled into the bed right next to me. Is he seriously getting into the same bed as me? I thought, anger flaring up. I wanted to jump up and yell at him, but what good would it do? He thought I was asleep. I had to keep pretending. "Emily…" he whispered.

    “This is the only place I can offer my late brother’s wife and daughter. If you don’t like it, you are perfectly free to go back to the States—just like you left before. You can leave again anytime you wish,” Christopher said coldly, staring straight at Racheal’s mother. Racheal understood instantly: he was giving them a place to stay not out of kindness, but as a way to punish them for something from the past. She looked at her mother, wondering what terrible history stood between them. Her mother struggled to speak, her voice trembling, but finally, she whispered, “We accept. Your generosity in letting us stay here is something I will be grateful for for the rest of my life.” “Good. That is settled then. I’ll tell my wife and daughter about you. They will come meet you and check on you. Make yourselves at home,” he said dismissively. “You… you got married again?” she asked, her voice soft and shocked. “Yes,

    I’m happy—happy that he loves me just as much as I love him—but I’m also sad, hurt, and deeply angry. He kept the truth from me for so long. What stings the most, though, is that Stephanie—the woman he paid to pretend to be his lover—knew everything. He told her his feelings while I was left in the dark, breaking my heart over a lie. It hurts knowing he chose silence, lies, and another woman just to keep me away. I feel like such a fool. I walked to the wardrobe and pulled out the silk nightdress I’d bought months ago. I’d bought it with the desperate, foolish hope that I could seduce him. I’d thought: If I can just make him want me, give him a child, he won’t send me away. Then I’ll have time to make him see how much I love him. But I never got the chance. That night, I’d worn it, done my hair and makeup, and waited for him. He walked right past me, ignored me completely, and left the room. At the time, I’d felt stupid and rejected, but that pain is no
