Lahat ng Kabanata ng Trapped By The Cold-Hearted Billionaire: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Easton Kade Black, CEO of Black Enterprise, sat in his chair, Ocean blue eyes giving nothing away as he listened to Kai present to him the biggest plan of the quarter.“This fashion design competition, sir, will be the talk of the town for a long time. It will also gain us many followers as we stream the final day because we’ve designed it to attract a wide pool of fresh, innovative designers to work with us. The publicity we will generate will be like nothing we have seen so far.” Kai continued, pushing his round reading glasses up the bridge of his nose.Easton listened attentively, his long fingers drumming against the table. “Go on.” He urged Kai who nodded and gave Amanda a go-ahead to present her part of the plan. The rest of the employees followed keenly as they waited anxiously to see his reaction. Easton was extremely picky and he usually left his right hand, Kai, to review most of the plans and only present to him final drafts due to how busy his schedule was.But for som

“How are we doing?” Easton asked Kai.Kai pulled down his tie slightly as he looked up at his boss. “Overwhelming. We have hundreds of applicants. We made sure word reached every corner of the country as you wanted, Sir.”Easton nodded, “Good. Have Amanda hand over all the designs to you, I need to take a look.” He instructed.“Yes sir,” Kai responded.And overwhelming it was indeed. Every person in the country applied. It was the talk of the city and the first thing the media talked about each morning. From talented to aspiring designers, they all wanted to work for the Black Enterprises knowing that would change their lives forever. Even cleaners and cooks earned more than an average person in Bayern so you can only imagine how much a designer would make. Seeing that everything was falling into place, Easton turned to walk towards his office. His heart couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. He was getting closer to finding her.But had she seen the advert?What if she didn’t

"Mom, please let me come with you!” Jasmine’s small hands clung to her arm, eyes teary as she pleaded. “Sweetheart, we talked about this. It’s better if Aunt Aria stays with you today. I’ll be back soon,” Scarlet replied gently, brushing a stray curl from her daughter's forehead. Jasmine pouted making Scarlet’s heart shred into pieces. She also wanted her daughter to tag along but she couldn’t.What if she didn’t win and they were thrown out of the building? She had stayed up the previous night thinking of all possible scenarios and none of them ended with her walking out with a smile on her face.‘Then why are you going?’ An annoying voice taunted her.‘Because I’m desperate and I can’t mooch off Aria forever!’ She snapped.“Mama?” Jasmine’s melodic voice voice pulled her back. “Yes, honey.”“Are you going to wear that makeup, Mama? You look beautiful, but it has changed your face!” Jasmine pointed out, making Aria laugh so loudly that she choked on her coffee.“Mama just wanted t

“Scarlet! Congratulations on winning! This calls for a celebration!” Aria said, throwing her arms around Scarlet the moment she walked through the door but Scarlet felt like her heart had been ripped out and burst into tears in her friend’s arms.Aria frowned worriedly but waited until she was composed again before taking her to the couch. The competition was being streamed live so everyone saw the winner and the new top designer of the Black Enterprise.“Are these tears of joy?” Aria asked once they had sat down.“I wish!” Scarlet sniffed as she leaned back on the couch before her eyes found Aria’s again, “Where is Jasmine?”“She was so excited when she saw you win and tried the best she could to stay awake but she just couldn’t, she’s asleep now. But don’t change the topic. Did something happen?”.Scarlet forced a smile,"Scarlet, talk to me, babe. You’re making me anxious!” Aria pushed on until Scarlet finally gave in with a heavy sigh.She took a shaky breath, struggling to find th

Scarlet froze, totally caught off guard by the sight of Easton standing in front of her, barely covered by the towel slung low on his hips. Her eyes moved over Easton without meaning to.He stood there, the towel hanging low around his waist, barely covering him. The towel rested just above his hips, and water droplets were slowly rolling down his well-defined chest and abs. Some of the droplets slid lower, disappearing into the towel, leaving very little to the imagination. As he moved, his muscles tightened, and the water drops shimmered on his skin, disappearing into the lines of his body. Scarlet felt her heart race, trying to focus, but the sight of him was hard to ignore.He must have been a Greek God in his past life. Because how could he look so… Scarlet shook her head and tried to refocus her mind. She hadn’t prepared to meet him looking so... exposed. Her face flushed, a mix of embarrassment and frustration creeping up her cheeks as her eyes betrayed her, flickering to t
