Trapped By The Wicked Billionaire Chapter 20: An Imposter
RIVA POV:Damn it!“You have to let the doctors do their thing and wait,” Ethaniel told me softly. I looked at him with displeasure.“They can’t even answer any of the questions properly,” I protested.I could see the distress and dissatisfaction in his eyes as well, but he didn’t voice them like I did. “They are the best doctors in the city.”‘But not good enough to know what is wrong with Snow!’I kept my mouth shut. If I was feeling this upset, Ethaniel must have felt it a hundred times worse. He kept his head down as the doctors left them out in the waiting room. I turned to him when I felt him shift beside me.I froze when I noticed him crying.I hadn’t seen him in a moment of vulnerability. He had been out of control in the office, but that was panic. This was utter defeat in knowing he was powerless to help his daughter.My instincts kicked in. I took his hand in mine and placed it on my lap. I ran circles over the back of his hand as I spoke, “She is going to be okay, Ethaniel
Trapped By The Wicked Billionaire Chapter 19: A Target For Trouble
RIVA POV:“Is she alright?” I jumped out of my seat. The purse was already slung over my shoulder and I was ready to head out.“I don’t know,” he whispered helplessly as he rushed into the room to look for something.“Ethaniel, snap out of it!” I hissed.Proximity makes one lose sight of what was important. His daughter was in an accident and the usually cool man had lost his wits. My heart thrashed against my ribcage, but I knew to keep my cool.“Where is my phone?” Ethaniel hissed, ignoring me.“It’s in your pocket, Ethaniel,” I reminded. I could see its outline in his pocket. “ETHANIEL!” I yelled, snapping him out. He whipped around to look at me. “It’s in your pocket,” I said softly.The air rushed out of his lungs. He pulled it out and nodded. “Jax is waiting downstairs. You can go home alone,” he said sternly.My brows furrowed in confusion. “I am coming with you,” I replied.He walked past me to the door before stopping. “You’re coming?”I gave him a blank look, wondering how h
Trapped By The Wicked Billionaire Chapter 18: When The Mask Falls
RIVA POV:If these were the incriminating photos I was looking for, it showed no resemblance between me and that person. The only thing I could ascertain was his love for honey blonde hair. The other woman was an angelic beauty, fragile and stoic.I was the girl-next-door type. With a criminal background, no less.But what really struck me about the photos was that they didn’t include Snow at all. And they dated back to seven or eight years ago. So… Just before Snow was born. But the woman in the pictures didn’t appear to be pregnant.I dismissed the photographs as those of an ordinary ex-girlfriend in the end.I was snapped out of my daydreams by Jax, who announced that it was time for me to leave for Ethaniel’s office. Jax didn’t like me much. He appeared calm and soft-mannered on the surface, but he watched me with suspicion. At least he was fiercely protective of Snow and Ethaniel. Sometimes, I wondered if he was gay and maybe saw me as a potential threat. But that had to be my o
Trapped By The Wicked Billionaire Chapter 17: Misguided Love
RIVA POV:I had barely started to celebrate the fact that I got the last word when I heard a knock on the door. It startled me out of my thoughts. I stared at the door for a second before trudging to the door and opening it a crack. I had to be careful.Ethaniel was standing on the other side with his shoulders relaxed. The tension in his shoulders from a few moments ago had dissipated.“Can I help you?” I asked cautiously.“You left me out there without waiting for my response,” he whined, but his tone wasn’t too reluctant.‘Bro, you asked me a question and I answered it. What else would you say? That you are overjoyed that I said yes?’I doubted he felt that strongly.“Are you swept off your feet as much as I was by your proposal, then?” I asked him pointedly.He smiled. “You are not as charismatic as I am, so I wasn’t particularly disoriented by your charm, but I am happy.” He paused. “I began that conversation aggressively because I was convinced you would reject me if you were gi
Trapped By The Wicked Billionaire Chapter 16: The Proposal
RIVA POV:I was intrigued and wanted to ask, but with Snow there, I knew better than to push for answers. If there was one strict rule Ethaniel enforced, it was the condition regarding Snow. He didn’t want her exposed to any disagreements or fights. It was particularly effective as Ethaniel and I didn’t have a natural relationship. So, it was difficult to diffuse the tension when there was no love between us and we rarely saw eye to eye on things.Part of me thought it was to protect his precious image in her mind, another wondered if he was trying to make me appear softer and more agreeable.If he was sending Snow away, it meant something big was coming.When we were left alone, Ethaniel didn’t beat around the bush. “How are you adjusting to this… new lifestyle?”I could tell from his expression that he was genuinely curious about my answer. And if I hadn’t known better, I would think he was nervous. It was ironic as only a few hours ago, I would have responded to his question witho
Trapped By The Wicked Billionaire Chapter 15: Becoming The Stranger
RIVA POV:Marco wasn’t the kind to be scared off easily. But he was easy to anger. He seemed like the kind of person who would grow more aggressive when he had a setback. I had half-expected him to sneak in to get revenge, but it never happened.Despite nothing bad happening, I found myself more dissatisfied. I needed time to myself… to think about what I wanted to do with my life. The job had been a means to make ends meet, and I forgot I had dreams before that… things I wanted to pursue. Now, I had the leisure to think about my next steps, but I didn’t want to live off Ethaniel. If I quit my job and pursued writing full-time, I would be submitting myself to Ethaniel’s wishes. It would give his scheme legitimacy. I had started out as a victim in his schemes, but if I left my job and made the best of the situation, the tables would turn. I would be the one benefiting from the situation, and no longer the victim trapped by him.At least the world would think so.Everything I wrote in
