“Drive faster.”

My voice came out sharper than I intended. The driver glanced at me briefly through the rearview mirror, before nodding.

“Yes, ma’am.”

The car accelerated.

Still, it wasn’t enough.

It wasn’t fast enough to outrun the panic clawing at my chest.

I pressed my trembling fingers tightly together on my lap, trying to steady them.

Why?

Why couldn’t this man never give me a single moment of peace?

Why couldn’t he just live quietly like everyone else?

Why was there always trouble

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Nate Or Natalie

    AxelThe next day…I walked into the private room of the restaurant with Derek following closely behind me.We had arrived at the scheduled location a few minutes earlier than expected, and I'd already prepared myself for this meeting.But the moment I stepped inside and saw the figure seated at the table, I stopped.My brows furrowed.A woman immediately rose from her seat. She had a knowing smile on her face as she looked at me."Mr. Axel... it's been a long time."Who was this? My gaze shifted toward Derek, who immediately seemed to understand my confusion."Err... I told you yesterday, sir," he reminded me awkwardly. "Mr. Nate Miles went through an identity change. He's now being addressed as Natalie Miles."For a moment, I simply stared at him, then my gaze returned to the woman.Natalie Miles?Had I really heard him correctly?"Identity change?"Derek nodded.Vaguely, I remembered him mentioning something like that yesterday after sending me the meeting location and the necessar

    Axel"What was the meaning of this?!"I muttered under my breath as I stared at the email displayed on my laptop.The more I read, the more irritated I became. This made absolutely no sense!A knock suddenly sounded on my office door. Before I could respond, the door opened, and Derek walked inside.The moment my eyes landed on him, I immediately asked, "Have you seen this?!"Derek sighed heavily. "Unfortunately, I have."I slammed my laptop shut, unable to hide my irritation. "Who could be responsible for something like this?"Derek shook his head."I have no idea yet, but I've already pulled my team together to make inquiries about it. Hopefully, we'll have some news by this evening.""They better have news because this is completely unacceptable!"I leaned back in my chair, running an irritated hand through my hair.I found it difficult to believe that a solid deal like the one between Sterling and Hawthorne Capitals could suddenly start having problems.It was a contract I'd cons

    OliviaA soft knock echoed through the apartment.I glanced toward the door before setting my laptop aside and making my way over.When I pulled it open, Axel stood outside, one hand tucked into the pocket of his trousers while the other rested casually by his side.The moment our eyes met, a small smile found its way onto my lips."Hey.""Hi." I stepped aside. "Come in."He walked inside, his gaze briefly sweeping across the living room before settling on me again."Would you like something to drink?" I asked. "Coffee? Wine?""Just water is fine.""Okay."I headed into the kitchen, poured a glass of cold water, and returned a few moments later."Here.""Thank you."He accepted it with a nod, took a slow sip, then placed the glass carefully on the coffee table."How's your mother doing?"His question immediately softened my expression."She's really getting better," I replied with a relieved nod. "The doctor said she just needs enough rest now."He nodded. "That's good to hear."There

    Jasmine"So... it's you?"The words slipped from my lips with disgust as I stared across the deserted port at the woman standing several feet away from me.Jenny merely lifted her chin higher. There wasn't the slightest trace of shame on her face. Instead, she smiled.A smug... infuriating smile."Yes," she admitted without hesitation. "It was me. I was the one who sent that message."I let out a loud scoff.Of course it was.Who else could it have been?After speaking with the building management, she was the last person seen entering Carl's apartment.I shook my head, muttering beneath my breath. "Carl really was blind."Jenny frowned."He couldn't even tell that the woman he was keeping around was nothing more than a gold digger."The moment the words left my mouth, her expression darkened."You have no right to call me names, Jasmine!"Her voice echoed sharply through the nearly empty harbor."So what if I'm a gold digger?" she snapped, pointing a finger directly at me. "What does

    AaronMy hospital bills... weren't paid?I froze, my eyes widening in disbelief as I slowly turned to look at Mother."...What?"Mother seemed to shrink where she stood. Her shoulders curled inward as if she wished she could just disappear into the floor.I stared at her, my mind refusing to process what I'd just heard."What... does that mean? Why weren't my hospital bills paid?"The room fell silent. Dr. Ali glanced between the two of us before letting out a quiet sigh."I'll give both of you some time to talk," he said gently. "Once you've discussed everything, we can also discuss how the payment will be handled."With one final look at Mother, he quietly turned and walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.I turned to stare at Mother."Start talking."She remained rooted to the spot."Now!"My voice cracked through the room like a whip, making her flinch violently."What is the meaning of this?" I demanded. "Didn't you tell me Vincent had already sorted out every

    Aaron"Easy now, Mr. Aaron."The nurse's calm voice cut through the room as she slipped another pillow behind my back."Don't stress yourself.""I know," I muttered, letting out a quiet breath as I shifted my weight.A dull ache still lingered in my chest, but it wasn't nearly as unbearable as it had been a few days ago. My muscles felt weak from lying in bed for so long, yet every passing day seemed to bring back a little more strength."There," she said with a satisfied smile after adjusting the pillow. "Is that better?"I leaned back carefully before giving her a small nod."Much better."She wheeled the overbed table closer before placing the breakfast tray directly in front of me. The aroma of freshly cooked eggs immediately drifted into the air."There you go, Mr. Aaron."A neatly folded napkin rested beside the plate. There was an omelette, toast, sliced fruit, and a cup of warm tea."If you need anything at all, just press the call button." She pointed toward the small remote

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Echoes of a Buried Past

    Axel I sat beside my father’s hospital bed, my mind utterly blank. I didn’t know how long I had been sitting there like that—staring at the steady rise and fall of his chest, listening to the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor beside him. Could it really be true? Could Father have been marri

    Jasmine My eyes instantly widened in shock. Did I hear that right? Did she really just say that? Vincent’s… first wife? Wait... No. That couldn’t be right. That had to be some kind of a joke, right? I looked at the woman standing in front of Axel… Sarah, who looked far too calm for someone wh

    Axel The hospital lights were the first thing I noticed when I pushed through the revolving doors and rushed forward. Derek and Jose were right behind me, walking as fast as I was as I thought of one person… My father. The call had come last night when I was in an urgent meeting with some of our
