บททั้งหมดของ Trapped by the cold billionaire: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Eliana Brown ~•~“Do you love me?”William kept his eyes on me and didn't even hesitate when he answered. “More than you'd ever know.” I shook my head.“I'm serious, baby. I'm not lying to keep you with me or anything. I'm being honest. I've never lied to you, I promise.” His voice was taking on a desperate tone. “I may have tricked you indirectly but I've never uttered a word of lie to you. I always tell you the truth whenever you ask so ask away. Ask whatever you want to know. I'll answer.”“You don't love me, William. If you did, you wouldn't force me into your life. You gave me no choice but to be with you. That's not how you treat the girl you love.” He tested me like I was a toy he wanted that he was going to get no matter what he had to do for it. I had no choice in the matter. “What you feel for me is something far more sinister than love!”“Don't I know it?” He kissed his teeth. “I'm very self-aware. I know what I feel for you. I know I am obsessed with you but I also know

Eliana Brown~•~After those words, she walked away.Bianca and I shared a look. “What do you think she wants to say?” I questioned.She shrugged. “All I know is that you're in trouble. Don't annoy her further by keeping her waiting.”“Oh right.” I scrambled to leave my cubicle.Bianca was right. I was in trouble. Miss Smith had openly liked William. Everyone in the office knew that. Even people outside the office knew of her feelings for him. If I were her, I'd feel humiliated but I doubt I'd take it out on the poor girl (me). I was suffering enough from public ridicule. I didn't need her to add to it.When I got to her office, I knocked softly and waited for her to permit me in before I went inside.“You wanted to see me, ma.”“Sit.” She instructed, arms folded as she leaned against her desk. I looked at the chair in front of her and the sofa that was a bit further. I chose the sofa. I heard her chuckle but it was only for a split second so I could have imagined it.“Are you going

William Caddel~•~Eliana was lowering her guard against me and I couldn't be happier.She was not going out of her way to speak to me but she wasn't avoiding me anymore either. It could only get better from there. She answered my questions politely rather than being sarcastic or making a snarky remark. I was happy about that.After her crazy day at work the previous day, it was finally the weekend. “How do you want me to deal with your ex?” I asked as I joined her on the couch. She shifted to the edge a bit but I pretended not to notice.“Must you?”“How persistent is he?” “Quite a lot.”“Then I must,” I told her honestly. He looked violent and it seemed like he might have truly hurt her the previous day if I hadn't intervened in time. I couldn't just sit still and wait for him to attack her. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I didn't know that he was tamed yet. “So tell me how to deal with him.”Her cheeks heated up. “Why are you asking me that? How would I know?”It was cut

Eliana Brown ~•~ I placed a knock on my boss’s door and waited for her to permit me before I walked in. She was surprised to see me in her office but was also quick to mask it and look away. “I'm sure whatever you need to tell me can be passed down from your department head.” She spoke, not caring to look at me. She didn't try to hide her hatred for me. She hated me even more for the fact that firing me would be directly going against William; her investor and the man she loved. I didn't know if it made me a bad person but I didn't try to sympathise with her. If anything, I was here to rub my marriage in her face. She would fire me if she could. Why should I try to coddle her feelings? I walked closer to her desk and placed the envelope on it without you saying anything. She stared at the envelope, then at me, and back at the envelope. Slowly but surely, she took hold of it and opened it to reveal the invitation inside. When she saw what it was, she laughed humorlessly. “Yo

Eliana Brown~•~“So you've completely forgiven him then?” Catherine asked over the phone.“When did I say that?”“You just came back from having dinner with him, babe. Do you even need to say it?”I bit down on my bottom lip, feeling stupid. I had made a fuss about how he had behaved, even went as far as running away from his place, only to come back to him without hesitation. “I'm such a fool, aren't I?”I didn't just come back to his house. I was even helping to plan his birthday. I was going out of my way to do something for him despite being angry at him and when he asked me out for dinner, I couldn't help but say yes.In my defense though, I was happy that my boss came back from his office angrier than she was when she left. It meant that he didn't try to coddle her feelings when she went to complain about me. William had always been a straightforward man but it seemed like he never explicitly rejected her. I assumed he did so, which was why she came back angry. My stupid ass sa
