Olivia

I just stood there in the living room, my eyes fixed on the door long after Axel had slammed it shut behind him.

The silence he left behind was deafening.

Why couldn’t he just wait? Just one second. One damn second to listen to me.

My chest felt tight as I replayed the moment over and over again in my head—his sharp tone, the way his eyes had darkened the instant I mentioned his stepbrother, the way he hadn’t even let me finish my sentence before turning away from me like I was the probl

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Choice She Made

    AxelA few days later...I heard the sharp, furious voice coming from inside before I even got to the door."...How can you even say that, Olivia?!"I slowed my steps as I approached the hospital ward."...After everything he's done to you!"Another voice answered, much quieter."Ella, please..."Without wasting another second, I pushed the door open, and the room fell silent.Olivia sat propped up against the hospital bed, dressed in simple clothes instead of a hospital gown, her overnight bag resting beside the bed. Though the color had returned to her face over the past few days, she still looked fragile.Standing beside her was Ella.The moment Olivia saw me, she instinctively straightened, her eyes settling on mine.Ella turned. The instant our gazes met, anger flashed across her face. Her eyes blazed with undisguised fury, sharp enough to make it seem like she wanted to tear me apart with her bare hands.She planted both hands on her hips and laughed bitterly."You actually have

    Axel"You know better than to call me during this period, Derek."The moment I answered the phone, I stepped to the balcony and quietly slid the glass door shut behind me."Especially when Jasmine is here," I continued coldly. "I told you I was taking the day off.""I'm sorry, Sir," Derek apologized immediately. "I just received urgent news, and I had to inform you."I pinched the bridge of my nose."Couldn't this 'urgent news' wait until tomorrow?"A brief silence stretched between us before he answered. "I'm afraid not, Sir.""What is it?""I just received word that Miss Olivia has been admitted to the hospital."I frowned. "The hospital? Is she sick? What happened?"Derek hesitated. "It's worse than that. She... she attempted to harm herself."Everything inside me froze. "What?""She's currently hospitalized."What the hell?! Olivia tried to take her own life?"Send me the address. I'm on my way."I ended the call just as I heard a soft voice behind me."Axel?"I turned around.Jas

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   An Underserved Love

    Olivia Mrs. Jackson calmly looked at me again. There was no anger, hatred, or cold glare in her expression… just sadness.An overwhelming sadness that had hollowed her eyes.She slowly turned back toward Liam.Neither of us spoke.I hesitated before finally taking a careful step into the room, then another, and another, until I stood beside his bed.The sight before me shattered what little strength I had left.Liam lay perfectly still.His eyes remained closed peacefully, almost as if he were simply taking an afternoon nap.If not for the oxygen tube resting beneath his nose, the IV lines disappearing beneath the blankets, and the heart monitor beside him producing its steady, rhythmic beeps… I could have convinced myself he was merely sleeping.His complexion looked too pale, and his lips lacked their usual warmth.Seeing someone who had once smiled so brightly… who had always been

  • 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

    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."

    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

    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

    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

    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
