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
Trapped To The Billionaire Devil A Gift
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
Trapped To The Billionaire Devil A Broken News
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 The Truth She Was Never Meant to Know
AxelDerek stood beside my desk, a thick stack of files tucked beneath one arm while another folder lay open before me."I finally tracked Nate Miles after he relocated out of New York. It took longer than expected because he completely changed his identity trail, but my team eventually found him."I looked up from the contract in front of me. "Good."Derek nodded. "My team will also—"The office door suddenly burst open. The loud bang echoed across the room.Both Derek and I turned simultaneously.Olivia.She stood in the doorway, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Her face was twisted with fury, her eyes burning with so much anger.I was a bit surprised.Freya had informed me barely a minute ago that Olivia had come to the company asking to see me.I had been curious because this would be the very first time she had come looking for me herself. Now, seeing the expression on her face...I shifted my gaze toward Derek."Give us a moment."Derek understood immediately. Without askin
Trapped To The Billionaire Devil Lines Drawn in Blood and Glass
Axel My body reacted before my mind fully caught up. I turned toward the sound instantly, and then I heard it. A voice I knew. Jasmine. I moved without hesitation. “Sir…” Derek started behind me, already falling into step as I walked through the crowd. People parted instinctively as I pushed f
Trapped To The Billionaire Devil A Smile Before the Storm
Axel The moment I stepped into the grand hall of the business conference, I felt the subtle shift in the air. Heads turned—some slowly, some too quickly to be natural—as eyes followed my movement. Derek walked a few steps behind me, perfectly composed. I didn’t need to look back to know he was al
Trapped To The Billionaire Devil Beneath the Quiet Lies
Olivia My fingers moved quickly over the keyboard as I filled out yet another form, double-checking every field before moving on to the next. Name. Previous institution. Intended program of study. Statement of purpose. I paused briefly, rereading what I’d typed, then adjusted a sentence before
Trapped To The Billionaire Devil Trouble Arises
Axel The moment I stepped into the company building, I felt it. Conversations cut off mid-whisper as I passed. I caught fragments of murmurs, hushed voices slipping into silence the second my footsteps echoed too close. Some of the staff straightened hastily, offering polite greetings that felt a
