I didn’t know if Eliana was stupid, naive, or both. I was leaning heavily on both and rightfully so.

I wished I could see through her. I wished I was able to tell what was going on in her head. I wished I could understand her thought process and figure out how she came to agree to get married to me.

It wasn’t for my name because it was going to happen in private. Was it for the money? From her point of view, we wouldn’t be married for a long time anyway. Did she want the alimony? But then again, she didn’t hesitate to agree to signing a prenup so what exactly was her game plan?

Aside from the three days we had all spent together in the lake house, she had only seen me four times. I was a total stranger to her. She didn’t know my intentions for her. She didn’t know the fucked up thoughts I had about her yet she was offering herself so easily to me. Was she comforted by the fact that I was a public figure?

I couldn’t sleep that night.

  • Trapped by the cold billionaire   Chapter Eighty four

    Eliana Brown ~•~ I was having the best time of my life. After going on this trip with William, I finally understood why people always suggested traveling. It was well worth using my annual leave. Aside from the fact that William didn’t hesitate to initiate sex whenever he could, it was nice just walking around with him. However, the sad part about it was that it was already coming to an end. It seemed too soon but I had already spent six days touring the city. “Why are you pouting? What are you thinking about?” I sighed. “I don’t want to go back.” “Should we stay another week?” I laughed at his suggestion. “Your mistress will fire me.” William rolled his eyes at my joke. “Olivia is not my mistress.” “She still likes you, doesn’t she?” “At least, she doesn’t act on it anymore. She knows her boundaries.” I nodded, agreeing with that. No matter how much she liked him, she knew when to step back. That was probably why her relationship with Sandra, William’s ex, was

    Eliana Brown~•~My leg immediately stopped shaking when a heavy hand was placed on it.Looking away from the scenery, I focused on William.“You haven’t sat still since we landed here. I’m afraid you’d exhaust your energy before we get to do anything.”My cheeks heated up at William’s teasing but I still ignored it. “It’s my first time here!”“Yeah? I could never tell.”I swatted his hand away from my leg. He wouldn’t get it. He grew up rich and had the opportunity to visit several places. I never even got to leave America. I grew up in a small town and managed to break free and travel to the big city immediately after I turned eighteen. Then I had to focus on working to feed and accommodate myself. Even worse, Harry was living off me at some point. I had no time or money to travel and enjoy the finer things in life.It was why as soon as William mentioned a vacation, I was more than excited. I'd read about Paris and I’d seen it a lot in movies. Even when William mentioned Paris, I m

    Eliana Brown~•~I stared at William warily. It seemed like he was up to something. As promised, his meeting didn’t take long but the smug look he had on his face as he came out had me really suspicious. “What was the meeting about? Why do you look so happy?”He chuckled. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”“Yes, I would, and I’d appreciate it if you told me about it.”“Why not just see for yourself?”“See what?”“Just wait and see.”Even if Duke entered the car, he didn’t start driving immediately, letting me know that whatever I had to see had to do with the restaurant they just came out from. I stared at William, then at Duke through the rearview mirror, but their faces weren’t giving me any clue as to what I was waiting for.As I waited, I recalled something else. “By the way, what’s in the briefcase?” When they came back, Duke had put the briefcase on the passenger’s seat.At my question, William nodded at Duke and Duke handed the briefcase to me. I was taken aback by its heavy weight

    William Caddel~•~Eliana was a lot clingier than usual.I didn’t know if she just wanted to keep an eye on me or if she was actually suspicious of my movement but she insisted on following me when I told her I had somewhere to be.Not wanting to directly lie to her, I just told her I had to meet with someone but according to her, it was the weekend and she was meant to spend it with me. When I told her it was important, she insisted on accompanying me. Denying her would either lead to more suspicions or make her mad so I accepted it.Duke was driving me today even if I had given him time off. The last break I’d given him wasn’t used to completion because he came back for my birthday and my grandfather died the morning after. He didn’t want me to handle Eliana’s ex alone so I also had no choice but to let him come along.On our way to the restaurant I told him to meet me at, my phone rang.I brought it out of my pocket only to see that it was Sandra calling. I let out a sigh. I had be

    Eliana Brown~•~I knocked on Mr. Edward’s office once before I opened it and stepped in. “You wanted to see me, sir?”Without saying a word, he handed a document to me. I opened it to see that it was the sales report for the last month. “Uhhh…” I trailed off, not knowing what he wanted from me.“You’re doing the report again and you have…” he looked at the watch on his wrist. “About five minutes to get there.”My eyes went wide. I was surprised he was letting me report to William even if Bianca was present. Mr Edward had never liked me and even after finding out I was married to the boss of his boss, he still didn’t care. According to him, it made sense why I was hired. However, he thought I was capable so he wasn’t too bothered by my presence.“Really?”“Four minutes, fifty-two seconds.”“I’ll be on my way immediately!” I exclaimed and rushed out of his office. It seemed like he was finally warming up to me. The other day, he allowed me to meet a client on my own. Thankfully, the c

  • Trapped by the cold billionaire   Chapter Seventy nine

    William Caddel~•~One week later I was finally back at work.Eliana resumed work way before me since her boss already didn’t like her. She didn’t want to give her reasons to fire her.The news of my grandfather’s death had hit the internet and every call I got these days was to offer condolences to me. I wouldn’t lie. It was quite tiring but I understood that my grandfather had a lot of friends and business partners before he retired and left the company for me.I had been tempted to have a private funeral but I wanted his friends to be able to say goodbye to him one last time, which was why I announced his death and the funeral to the public.The funeral happened two days ago yet people were still calling to sympathize with me.A knock on the door interrupted me from my thoughts and without waiting for permission to enter, Duke came in, slamming the door close behind him.I cocked my head at him. “Is something wrong?”“You have an unwanted visitor.”“Who?”“Eliana’s ex.”I frowned.
