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

Olivia"Start talking. Right now."Ella's voice cracked through the room like a whip.Ted stiffened in the chair opposite us, his shoulders tensing. He shifted uneasily in his seat, rubbing his sweaty palms against his jeans before forcing out a nervous laugh."I... I honestly don't understand what's going on." His eyes darted between the two of us. "I don't know why both of you think that I—""I don't have time for your lies."Ella cut him off abruptly. She leaned forward, her eyes burning into his."If you still want to be part of my life... and the life of my unborn baby..."My head snapped toward her so quickly that my neck actually hurt.What?I stared at her in complete shock, my eyes slowly traveling down until they rested on her stomach.Unborn... Baby?She caught my gaze immediately. For the briefest second, the anger on her face softened. She gave me the smallest shake of her head, her eyes silently telling me that she'd explain later.Then, just as quickly, the softness dis

JasmineI slowly stirred from sleep as the soft morning light slipped through the small opening in the curtains and landed gently on my face.For the first time in two days, I slept really well. Not on the hard hospital chair where I could barely sleep, and even when I managed to do so, I’d wake up

OliviaBy the time I drove into my apartment complex, the sky had already darkened. I parked my car in my usual spot, turned off the engine, and just sat there.I rested my forehead briefly against the steering wheel and let out a slow, weary sigh.Today had just been… No—everything lately had been
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
Trapped To The Billionaire Devil What A Day!
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
