Lahat ng Kabanata ng TRAPPED BY MR CEO TO BE HIS FIANCÉE : Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

SARAHAlthough I was weak and there was barely any strength left in my body, missing class was not an option. I lay there for a few seconds longer, staring at the ceiling and trying to convince myself to move. My muscles felt heavy, like they were tied down with invisible ropes. Even breathing felt like work. Still, I pushed the blanket aside and forced myself to sit up. The room spun slightly, and I had to close my eyes for a moment until everything steadied.Slowly, I stood up and dragged my feet to the restroom. Each step felt deliberate, like my body needed permission before it would obey me. The cold tiles under my feet made me shiver. I turned on the shower and let the water run over me for a while, hoping it would wash away the exhaustion clinging to my skin. It helped, just a little. The warmth soothed my aching body and gave me something close to comfort.After some time, I stepped out with a towel wrapped around me. I stood in front of the mirror and wiped the water from my

SARAHAfter my last lecture, I took my handbag and stood up to leave, still feeling the dull ache from sitting too long. I was already thinking about how quickly I could get out of the building when I bumped into someone. I almost lost my balance, but a hand steadied me. It was our class rep."Hi," I greeted, trying to hide how distracted I felt.He smiled easily. "Hey. Are you going home? Why don't you let me drop you off?"For a second, I just stood there staring at him, unsure of what to say. I could not exactly tell him that I was planning to follow Donald. That would only raise more questions, and I was not ready to explain anything to anyone. I opened my mouth, hoping to buy myself time, but before I could respond, a hoarse voice cut through the air."She's coming with me."I froze.Donald was standing at the door, his expression firm, almost daring anyone to challenge him. My heart skipped in surprise. I had no idea when he got there. One moment he was nowhere in sight, and the

EMILYAlthough I was relieved that Bryan was alive, the relief did not erase my own problem. It only pushed it to the side for a while. Dad had still not changed his mind about the merger. Every time I thought about it, my chest tightened. It felt like a decision already made without my consent, like I was simply expected to smile and go along with it.I had a strong feeling Catherine would agree. After all, Ceaser was her high school sweetheart. They had history. Memories. Something real to fall back on. If anyone could turn a business merger into a love story, it would be her.But meI was never going to agree to a merger with a total stranger.I could not even pretend to consider it. Marriage was not supposed to feel like signing a contract you barely understood. I might be known as the spoiled brat of the family, but even I had limits. I was not about to let my life be packaged and handed over for business gain. No romance. No choice. No fantasy. Just signatures and expectations.

CATHERINEWhen I got home, the compound was too quiet. No cars in their usual spots. No faint sound of the television from the sitting room. No footsteps. Just silence.Fear gripped me instantly.I barely parked properly before stepping out of the car. I rushed toward the entrance, my heartbeat pounding so loudly it almost drowned out my thoughts. The front door opened easily and I stepped inside. The house that usually felt grand and composed now felt empty and cold.A maid was walking down the hallway with a tray in her hands."Hey, you. Come here," I called out. My voice sounded sharper than I intended.She turned and hurried toward me."Where is everyone," I asked, trying to steady my breathing, trying not to sound as panicked as I felt.She hesitated for a second. "Second missy got hit by a car and was rushed to the hospital."For a moment, I did not understand what she said. The words floated in the air, disconnected from reality. Then they sank in.Emily.Hit.Hospital.My hear

CALII woke up slowly, stretching my arms above my head as I tried to shake off the heaviness of sleep. The room felt quiet and warm, the kind of calm that comes in the evening when the day is almost over. I reached for my phone on the bedside table and squinted at the screen. It was ten minutes past five in the evening. I rubbed my eyes and let out a soft breath. I had not meant to sleep that long.For a moment I just sat there on the bed, trying to gather myself. The house felt unusually peaceful. I slipped out of bed and walked into the bathroom, splashing cool water on my face. The coldness helped clear the last traces of sleep from my eyes. I looked at my reflection for a second, brushed my fingers through my hair, and then stepped back into the room. It was already evening. The light coming through the window had that soft golden tone that made everything look gentle.I slipped on my pink flip flops and made my way downstairs. Each step felt light, and I could already smell som
