Semua Bab Trapped With The Billionaire : Bab 41 - Bab 50

After Nicholas had left, Aria stared into the empty seat that faced her. Her lips quivered as they struggled to say something but couldn't. Aria could feel her eyes tingle as she fought back tears that threatened to spill out.She did not expect their meeting to turn out that way, but somehow he had found out about her and even the mere friendship they both shared was now unpredictable.Aria stood up from her seat, grabbing her bag along. By the time she got out of the building, the weather was already cold. She quickly rushed to the vehicle and got into it without waiting for Mr. Sebastian’s assistance.Soon, her phone rang. She retrieved it from her bag and looked at the screen.Sophie.Aria let out a sigh before returning it. Then she stared out of the vehicle's window, engrossing herself in the busy street and trying not to think about all that had happened half an hour ago.But still, something was not clear to her. Who would have revealed her secrets to Nicholas? The question w

As soon as Aria ended her call with Sophie, she got up from her bed and wiped away her tears. There was no canceling since she had already agreed to Sophie. She walked to her wardrobe, searching for the most appealing outfit for a party. When her eyes fell on a mini gown with an open back, she smiled and brought it out, placing it on the bed. By the time Aria was ready, she strutted quietly down the stairs, trying not to make a noise because attracting the attention of Damien was the last thing she ever wanted. At last, she got out and took in a deep breath, relieved that no one had confronted her or noticed her sneaking out. Was there even a need to hide? she asked herself. At least she was old enough to go partying at any time without needing the approval of anyone, so why hide? Aria shook her head and continued walking out. She was only trying to ignore anything that would make her face Damien. When she got to the street, she hailed a taxi and gave him directions. It was cle

The next morning, Aria woke up feeling weak with a headache. She sat on the bed, a hand to her head as she massaged it gently. She could barely remember all that had happened last night, but one thing was sure, she knew about the sex between her and Damien. Aria immediately shut her eyes in embarrassment as she asked her head for possible things she must have said or done while with him. Had she told him anything out of point? Or perhaps, begged him for– “–oh, no.” She said as she held her head once more. Soon, there was a knock and Aria glanced up quickly. What does he want again? She asked herself as she stared at the door. She was aware that she had cuddled herself in his arms prior to falling asleep, only to wake up and see that he was gone, so what else could he possibly want? After their encounter last night, Aria was sure she could not bring herself to face him. The knock sounded again and Aria grudgingly got up from the bed, approaching the door in a slow manner. As s

Aria walked into the Blackwood's building dressed in her usual sleek and elegant outfit. Her eyes darted around as she strutted in, waving as she exchanged greetings with her colleagues. However, despite the fake smiles and weak waves, her eyes were actually searching for someone. Nicholas.Amidst the clacking of keyboards and low chatters, she found him seated in his cubicle, his focus to the screen as he typed away. He did not seem to notice her or even acknowledge her presence.Aria considered walking to him or waving in his direction when he finally raised his head, hoping he would notice her, but she quickly dismissed the idea. Just as she was about to leave, Nicholas raised his head towards her direction. Aria smiled briefly and raised her hand to wave, but he quickly returned his gaze to the screen in front of him.Aria's smile quickly faded and she walked away feeling sad. She had assumed he had changed his mind about their relationship, but it appeared he intended for it to

“I heard you reached out to Mr. Evans.” Mr. Blackwood spoke as Damien took a seat on the couch.Once again, Camille was present and that made Damien very mad. Her presence alone was not what he was expecting since she was not a part of the family.“I did. It was for the benefit of the company.” Damien said.The elderly man puffed out some smoke from his mouth before dumping the cigarettes in the ash tray. He then pulled out another and extended his hand to his son.“You care for one?”“No, father; I came here for more important reasons.”“That is actually what I called you here for.” the man told him. “I have heard that you have been going around assembling the directors and figuring out a way to stabilize the company.”“You must have lots of people giving you tangible information.” Damien said nonchalantly.“I have been keeping track of you, if that is what you want to know.”Damien scoffed. “I am alre
