Olivia

My leg wouldn’t stop tapping.

I sat on the edge of the bed, hands clenched together in my lap, watching Axel get dressed at what had to be the slowest pace known to mankind.

Shirt first.

Then he paused, as if considering something, before reaching for his watch.

I swallowed and bounced my knee harder.

Why couldn’t he dress faster?

Every second felt stretched thin, like the air itself was tight with tension. I kept glancing toward the bedroom door as I heard the faint sound of movement co

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   A Mother's Broken Plea

    OliviaI stood in front of the hospital building, watching as different people came and went through the glass doors.Some walked in with anxious expressions, their hands tightly clasped together as if silently praying for good news. Others stepped out with relieved, happy smiles, embracing their loved ones. There were also those whose faces were streaked with tears, their shoulders slumped beneath the weight of heartbreaking news.I simply stood there.My feet refused to move.The breeze brushed against my face, carrying the sharp scent of disinfectant that escaped every time the hospital doors opened. I stared at the building for what felt like forever, watching strangers continue with their lives while mine felt like it had long since stopped.I drew in a shaky breath.No… I wasn't going to cry anymore.Today, I didn't care if Liam's parents threw me out again. I didn't care if they yelled at me, humiliated me, or blamed me for everything that had happened.After all, I deserved it

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Shadows Behind The Tears

    AxelI sat at the head of the table, listening as Mr. Silas stood before the digital presentation screen."Our market share across Asia has really exceeded projections," Mr. Silas said confidently as another graph appeared behind him. "I believe it's time we accelerate our expansion strategy into Europe and North America. Preliminary studies indicate strong investment opportunities, especially in the technology and healthcare sectors."A few board members nodded thoughtfully as he continued with his presentation.Just then, the conference room doors suddenly swung open, and Derek hurried inside.Ignoring the curious stares around the room, he walked straight toward me. His face was unusually grim.He leaned down and whispered just loudly enough for only me to hear."Sir... Carl Pierce is dead."Everything inside me froze.Dead?An uncomfortable silence spread across the conference room as every executive watched us, wondering what was going on.I instantly rose from my chair."Today's

    Carl"Sooner than you expect."Something about the way she said it made the tiny hairs on the back of my neck stand up.I slowly turned my head toward her.A few loose strands of dark hair had slipped free from the bun at the back of her head, giving her an effortlessly attractive look. My eyes wandered over her without shame before I could stop myself.Her perfectly fitted nurse's uniform did her plenty of favors, hugging her generous curves in all the right places. Now this was the kind of nurse a man didn't mind being treated by. A grin tugged at my lips. She was gorgeous.Maybe this hospital stay wasn't so bad after all. If she was going to be the one taking care of me from now on, I certainly wouldn't mind extending my stay a little longer. The view alone was worth it."You know..." I said, flashing what I knew was my most irresistible smile. It had been more than enough to captivate Jenny, so I had no reason to think it wouldn't work on this nurse too."You're quite beautiful."

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Calm Before the Fall

    Carl"I've got everything under control, Elvis," I said confidently into the phone, popping another slice of apple into my mouth while keeping one eye on the football match playing on the television mounted on the hospital wall. "Nothing could ever go wrong."A long sigh drifted through the phone speaker."Carl," Elvis said wearily, "there's an old saying that the person who walks carelessly with a pot of oil shouldn't be surprised when it spills. Be careful. One wrong step is all it takes."I chuckled dismissively and waved a hand through the air."Not this time. I've thought everything through."Because I had.Jasmine was my daughter.She could put on all the cold expressions she wanted and act like she had finally grown a backbone, but deep down, she was still the little girl I'd raised.As long as I remained her father, she'd always have responsibilities toward me, and I intended to make sure she fulfilled every single one of them.Elvis sighed again."I just don't want you making

    Olivia "I don't even know what to do anymore." I groaned in frustration and buried my face in my hands. "I feel like I'm going crazy."Ella immediately reached over and gently squeezed my shoulder."Calm down. We'll find a way. We have to... no matter what. There has to be something we can do."She suddenly became thoughtful. A moment later, her eyes lit up."What if we expose him? The media.""If the police won't do anything... then let's make it public. Let's expose Axel Reynolds to everyone. He can't possibly control everyone's opinion."For a brief second, I almost wanted to believe her, but reality came crashing down again.I let out a bitter scoff."Ella, you really underestimate what wealthy people can do with money. If we go to the media... how many people would actually believe us?"She opened her mouth, but no words came out."And even if they did... what proof do we have? W

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   When Hope Begins to Shatter

    OliviaThere was nothing left inside me.Just... emptiness.A hollow ache sat deep inside my chest, so heavy that every breath felt like a punishment.I didn't even know how I had managed to leave Axel's office.I couldn't remember walking out.I couldn't remember taking the elevator.I couldn't remember driving home.Everything after his confession had become one long blur, like my mind had shut itself down to protect me from the unbearable truth.Before I knew it, I was standing outside my apartment building, staring blankly at the familiar entrance.I still found it so hard to believe that there were people in this world who could truly be so cruel.So heartless.So terrifying.How could someone deliberately destroy another person's life simply because they refused to let go of someone they considered their possession?How?My vision blurred again.I couldn't even bear the thought of returning to the hospital.How could I possibly show my face there, knowing deep down in my heart t

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Wedding Vows

    Olivia “Dearly beloved,” the priest began warmly, “we are gathered here today, in the presence of God and of these witnesses, to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.” I stood a few meters behind Jasmine, my hands clasped together in front of me, fingers curled tightly around the small w

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Silence Behind the Veil

    Olivia 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 wit

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Something Blue, Something Broken

    Olivia I was walking fast down the hallway, clutching the small velvet pouch in my hand. Inside it was a blue brooch, old and slightly worn at the edges. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Jasmine had laughed earlier when I reminded her of the tradition, brushing it

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Ghosts Before the Light

    Axel I could already hear him before I could sense how close he was. The sound of heavy shoes scraping against the ground came to a stop right in front of me. Too close. I tightened my grip around my walking aide, my fingers curling hard around the smooth handle. My heart started to pound, not bec
