Kate, my friend and colleague, sat across from me at the small round table by the café window, both of us gisting, laughing and enjoying this moment together.

“I swear,” I said, shaking my head in wonder. “Sometimes I just sit there and wonder how I got so lucky.”

Kate tilted her head, smiling knowingly. “Lucky how?”

“With my kids,” I replied without hesitation. “Sam and Olivia… they make me so proud in ways I didn’t even know were possible. Every single time I think about how far we’ve c

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Refuse to Stay Buried

    BlakeKate, my friend and colleague, sat across from me at the small round table by the café window, both of us gisting, laughing and enjoying this moment together.“I swear,” I said, shaking my head in wonder. “Sometimes I just sit there and wonder how I got so lucky.”Kate tilted her head, smiling knowingly. “Lucky how?”“With my kids,” I replied without hesitation. “Sam and Olivia… they make me so proud in ways I didn’t even know were possible. Every single time I think about how far we’ve come—how far they’ve come—I just…” My voice softened. “I feel so proud. So happy. It’s like my heart could burst.”There were days when the weight of motherhood had nearly crushed me. Days when I’d gone to bed hungry so they wouldn’t have to. Nights when I’d cried silently, terrified that love alone wouldn’t be enough to protect them from the world.But sitting here now, dressed neatly, sipping a drink I hadn’t had to count coins for... those days felt distant. Not gone… But distant enough that

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Caring Too Much

    OliviaI sat cross-legged on my bed, my notebook open in front of me, flipping through pages from my last lecture. My mind was only half-focused, replaying parts of the class while trying to make sense of the notes I had scribbled down in a rush.Just as I underlined a sentence for the third time, my phone suddenly rang.The sharp sound startled me slightly. I reached for it instinctively, my eyes flicking to the screen.Liam.A small smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it. I picked up the phone and answered.“Hey,” I said softly. “How are you doing?”“Olivia!” Liam’s voice came through the line, unusually energetic. “I’m great. Actually, no, I’m more than great. I have good news.”That immediately caught my attention.“Good news?” I repeated, raising a brow. I closed my notebook and leaned back against the headboard, pulling a pillow behind me to get comfortable. “What is it?”Liam chuckled on the other end of the line.“Guess,” he said teasingly.I groaned softly. “Liam, you

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Echoes of Regret

    Vincent“Mr. Reynolds, you really need to try and get some rest,” Dr. Owen said gently as he stood beside my hospital bed. “Arguing with Axel in your current condition isn’t good for you at all. Your blood pressure is still unstable.”I let out a slow breath, my chest rising and falling heavily.“I know children can test one’s patience,” he continued with a small, understanding smile. “Believe me, I’ve seen it many times. But right now, your focus should be on your health. Everything else can wait.”I nodded slowly, even though my mind was anything but calm.“You’re right,” I said quietly. “Thank you, Doctor Owen.”Dr. Owen checked my vitals once more, adjusted a few things, and after making sure everything was stable, he finally stepped out of the ward, closing the door softly behind him.And just like that, the room fell into silence… a heavy, suffocating silence.I lay back against the pillows, staring at the ceiling as the events of the day replayed themselves in my mind like a cr

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Father and Son Confrontation

    AxelFor the third time in less than a day, I was shocked and surprised by what I’d just heard.The harsh truths were slamming into me like blows, but this one… this one was the worst of them all.Father didn’t deny it… He didn’t even try to.He had actually done it. He had given Aaron his shares. Whether it was temporary or permanent no longer mattered. The damage was already done.The betrayal was just too much to swallow.I stared at him, my chest tight, my ears ringing, as if the walls of the hospital room were slowly closing in on me.“I… I can’t believe this,” I whispered, my voice barely holding together. “I can’t believe you would do something like this to me.”My hands clenched into fists at my sides.“After everything,” I continued hoarsely. “After hiding the truth about your sins for decades… you still went ahead and did this? You still chose to stab me in the back?”Father let out a long, tired sigh. He looked older in that moment… far older than I had ever seen him. His s

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Heir’s Gambit

    AxelI couldn’t take it anymore.Everything that had happened so far… from the so-called foreign investor to this sudden board meeting, was nothing but a carefully planned trap. A premeditated plot meant to corner me, humiliate me, and strip me of everything I had built.Before I could speak again, Aaron’s voice cut through the tense silence.“I’m certain you have been informed about my shares, little brother,” he said calmly. He leaned back in his chair leisurely, as if he owned the room. “So, without further delay, I’ll state the reason for my presence here today.”My jaw tightened.Aaron cleared his throat and slowly stood up, drawing everyone’s attention to himself. His gaze swept across the directors before finally settling on me.“I specifically called for this meeting,” he announced, “as the first true heir of the Reynolds family, to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me.”A murmur spread through the room.“I am here,” he continued, his voice firm, “to take over my father’s com

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Calm Before the Fall

    Axel“Father has been begging, Mother,” I said quietly, breaking the heavy silence in the hospital room. “He keeps asking to at least speak to you. Just once. So he can explain himself. Don’t you think… don’t you think you might want to hear what he has to say?”My mother didn’t respond at all.She sat propped up against the hospital bed and slowly lifted the small porcelain teacup in her hand, taking a sip.She didn’t look at me… not even once.I exhaled slowly, rubbing my jaw in frustration. It had been days, almost a week, since both my parents had been admitted into the hospital, and yet nothing had changed between them. Not a word. Not even a glance.Father had tried. Every single day, he asked to see her, and every single time, she refused. She asked the nurses to turn him away, told them she wasn’t ready, that she didn’t want to see him, that she needed rest. And when I tried to speak to her about it… like now, she shut down just the same.Even after everything… I still believe
