I stared at Jasmine, my mouth opening and closing, words stumbling over themselves before they could even form properly.

“I… I just…” I began, but Jasmine didn’t let me finish.

Her head snapped toward me, her eyes blazing with an intensity that startled me more than the slap I had just witnessed earlier.

“Can you just leave?” she snapped. Her voice trembled, not with fear, but with something sharper—anger, humiliation, desperation.

“I said I wanted to be alone with my father. Didn’t

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   They Saved Me

    Shawn Dad closed his eyes.Mom's tears flowed freely.“I wanted you.” Her voice broke. “I wanted you for myself. I couldn't conceive. Your father and I had spent years hoping and praying for a child. Then suddenly, there you were.”She laughed weakly through her tears.“You were so beautiful. You had fought so hard just to survive, and somehow, you had made your way into my heart. I knew you belonged to someone else, but I wanted to be the one who protected you.”“So, we spoke with the nurse and doctor. We asked questions. We discussed what would happen to you, and eventually, a decision was made… They told your mother that you didn't make it.”My stomach dropped.Mom's voice was barely above a whisper. She lowered her head, unable to look at me.“They arranged the paperwork. The necessary documents were processed, and eventually… We legally adopted you.”Silence.Absolute silence.My mind struggled to process what I had just heard.Mom broke down again.“We’re sorry.” She pressed a

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Life They Fought To Save

    ShawnMom took a deep, shaky breath.For several seconds, she said nothing. Her fingers remained wrapped around mine, but they were trembling so badly that I could feel every slight movement.Dad stood beside her, one hand resting gently against her shoulder.The room had gone completely quiet.“Eighteen years ago,” she began quietly, “your father and I went to St. Catherine Medical Center.”“We had recently acquired a stake in the hospital,” she continued. “Your father and I were part of the hospital's board partnership, so we decided to visit personally and see how the facility was being managed. We wanted to meet some of the medical staff, review the operations, and understand how everything was running.”She paused.“It was supposed to be nothing more than a business visit.” Her voice cracked slightly. “But then we decided to visit one of the hospital's wings.”“The NICU,” Dad added quietly.My chest tightened. Somehow, I already knew where this story was heading, yet nothing coul

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   A Day Like This

    ShawnSo many thoughts raced through my mind as I sat inside the car, staring blankly through the window.Questions had been piling up one after another in my head, each one leading to another question I didn't know how to answer. No matter how hard I tried to organize my thoughts, everything remained a tangled mess.Where was I supposed to start?How was I supposed to process any of this?There was only one way to put an end to the uncertainty… Answers… Real answers.That was the reason I had made this trip the moment I left the hospital.“Young master, we've arrived.”The driver's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up and realized that the car had already come to a stop.Outside the window stood my parents' private house in Philadelphia.A strange sense of nervousness settled over me. This was it. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and stepped out of the car.My feet carried me toward the house, but every step seemed heavier than the last. By the time I reached the fr

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Son Who Came Back

    OliviaThe room fell completely silent.No one spoke.No one moved.Mom remained on the hospital bed, her face turned toward the door. Sam sat stiffly in the chair near the corner, his arms resting on his thighs as he stared ahead, clearly trying to process everything that had just happened.As for me, I sat a few feet away from Mom, my mind still struggling to catch up with reality.The wall clock continued ticking above us.Tick-tock.Tick-tock.Each sound seemed louder than the last in the suffocating silence. Every few seconds, my gaze drifted toward the door.My head still couldn't wrap itself around Mom's revelation.How could Shawn possibly be Sam's twin?He had his own life and family. He'd told us about his adoptive parents and the life he'd lived growing up, but there had never been anything that made me think he was connected to us by blood.And yet, Mom had looked at him and immediately seen something familiar.Could a mother's instinct really be that strong? Or was grief

    Olivia“What was that nurse talking about, Mom?”My eyes remained fixed on Mom, searching her face for an explanation, but the woman who had been smiling and laughing only moments ago now looked like she wished the ground would just open and swallow her whole.“What exactly are you hiding from us?”Her fingers tightened around the hospital blanket, gripping the fabric so hard that her knuckles began to pale.“Mom?”I folded my arms across my chest and exchanged a glance with Sam. He was staring at Mom too, waiting for an explanation.“Mom,” Sam finally spoke. “What is going on?”She swallowed. Her shoulders slowly slumped, and a long, defeated breath escaped her lips.“I’m sorry, but there’s something I should have told both of you a very long time ago.”Neither Sam nor I moved. We simply waited.She lowered her gaze to her hands. For several seconds, she seemed to struggle with whether she should continue. Then, slowly, she lifted her head, and her eyes settled on Sam.Something abou

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Nurse Jessica

    OliviaThe moment the door opened, my eyes immediately found the familiar figure sitting on the hospital bed.“Mom…”Mom looked up from the food she was eating, and the moment her eyes landed on me, a warm smile spread across her face.“Mom…”Without thinking twice, I hurried across the room and wrapped my arms gently around her.She laughed softly as she hugged me back. When I finally pulled away, Mom reached out and gently pinched my cheeks.“Look at you. You look so beautiful today.”A small laugh escaped me, but my eyes suddenly burned. Tears quickly gathered along my lashes as I looked at her.“Stop it, Mom.”I tried to smile, but seeing her like this made it difficult to hold back my emotions.She looked so much better.For days, I'd watched her lie weakly in that hospital bed, barely having the strength to do anything for herself.But now… she was sitting up and even eating properly. Even the color had returned to her cheeks. She looked alive and healthy again, like the mother

    Jasmine Collete finally turned toward Eunice and cleared her throat. “Mrs. Heather,” Collete said smoothly. “Please forgive Jasmine’s behavior. She can be… overly enthusiastic at times.” She glanced briefly at me, her gaze cool and disapproving. “She sometimes forgets where she is and how one ou
