  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   A Fresh Start

    OliviaFour months later…“Xavier! Be careful with that water gun!”Mrs. Johnson's worried voice rang through the bakery, followed by the sound of a child's laughter.The little boy darted across the small shop, his tiny hands gripping a bright blue water gun as he ran around with all the energy a four-year-old could possibly possess. He squealed happily, aiming the toy at an empty corner before running off again.“Xavier, I'm serious!” Mrs. Johnson called after him. “Don't point that thing at the customers!”Her warning only made him laugh harder.I shook my head with amusement as I carefully carried the tray of freshly baked cupcakes out of the kitchen.The sweet aroma of vanilla and butter followed me as I walked toward the glass display case near the entrance, where all our freshly baked treats were arranged for customers to see.Slowly, I placed the tray inside and began arranging the cupcakes neatly.The golden-brown tops were decorated with swirls of creamy frosting, each one c

    JasmineI pushed the last bite of my food into my mouth and chewed without tasting it.This wasn't how things were supposed to turn out.I was supposed to have money, power, security, and a comfortable life. I should be attending charity galas and mingling with top, elite women as Mrs. Reynolds. Instead, I was hiding in some cheap motel, eating cheap food, and counting the few bills left in my pocket.What had happened to me? How had everything crumbled so quickly?If I had known this would happen, I would never have allowed Axel to return to New York. We could have stayed in another country, where I could have continued enjoying the life of luxury I had fought so hard to build.After confirming that Olivia had no memories of her past life as Anna or of her relationship with Axel when they were younger, I had convinced myself that everything was finally under control.Somewhere along the way, I had let my guard down.Deep down, I had even wanted to enjoy the satisfaction of living th
