I knocked and walked into the hospital room with the food basket in my hands.

Hospitals had always been my least favorite place to be… that sterile, sharp smell of antiseptic, the sad, moody faces patients often wore, the bright white lights…

But over time, I had learned to think past my discomfort and visit the hospital often, almost every morning, to bring food for my in-laws.

Katherine was sitting by the window, reading a book. She looked calm at first glance, but I’d come to learn t

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Man I love

    ColletteThe car had barely rolled to a complete stop before I pushed the door open.I didn't even wait for the driver to come around as I rushed toward the hospital entrance, my heart pounding so violently that every beat seemed to echo inside my ears.Please...Please let him be alright.Lawrence's message kept replaying in my mind like a nightmare I couldn't escape.Vincent had another heart attack.Those five words had robbed me of every ounce of composure I had left.The automatic glass doors slid open, and I hurried inside, weaving through nurses, patients, and visitors. The sterile scent of antiseptic filled my lungs, making it harder to breathe. My hands trembled uncontrollably as I repeatedly pressed the elevator button.It felt too slow.Everything felt too slow.The moment the elevator doors opened on the VIP floor, I practically ran out. My eyes frantically searched the hal

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The World Turns Against Me

    Aaron Mother pressed her fingers against her temples and sighed. “Aaron, please calm down. Your pacing is making me dizzy.” I stopped in my tracks so abruptly that my shoes scraped harshly against the floor. Calm down? I sharply turned to stare at her in disbelief before it turned into pure rage. “Calm down? How can you stand there and ask me to calm down?” She blinked, startled by the harshness of my voice. “You weren't there!” I roared. “You weren't standing where I was when I suffered the greatest humiliation of my entire life! You weren't there when that egocentric bastard, Mansur Bolkiah, looked me straight in the eyes and degraded me like I was worth absolutely nothing!” I clenched my fists until my fingernails dug painfully into my palms. “I spent three fucking days at that useless summit,” I continued, my voice trembling with fury. “Three entire days!

    Olivia I froze and sharply turned. The moment I saw who it was, I immediately let out a breath of relief. "Shawn?" He stood near the corner of the departmental building with his hands tucked into his pockets. "You scared me. When did you come outside?" He didn't respond and simply stared at me. His gaze narrowed slightly, as if waiting for an answer to his question. I folded my arms. "You need to learn how to mind your own business, Shawn." The words came out a bit sharper than intended, but I didn't take them back. My personal life was exactly that… personal. I wasn't obligated to explain myself to anyone. Shawn remained silent for another moment before finally looking away. I adjusted the strap of my handbag and changed the subject. "Are you ready for us to head to the company?"

    Olivia"Have you completed the survey yet?"I looked up from my notes and glanced at Shawn, who was seated across from me in one of the study rooms within the business department.The room wasn't particularly crowded today. A few students occupied nearby tables, quietly discussing assignments or typing away on their laptops."More importantly," I continued, "have you narrowed down the company we're going to analyze for our project?"Shawn nodded almost immediately."I have."He reached for his laptop and turned the screen toward me."I started by creating a list of twenty-seven possible companies."My eyebrows lifted slightly. Twenty-seven? That was more thorough than I expected.He continued, "Then I eliminated businesses with incomplete financial records, companies involved in recent legal disputes, and firms with unstable revenue trends."He clicked through several spreadsheets. A surprisingly organized set of documents appeared."I also removed companies that wouldn't likely grant

    AaronWhat?!For a moment, I genuinely thought I had misheard him.No.No, that wasn't possible!I stared at Mansur Bolkiah, my heart pounding violently against my ribs. I could feel countless eyes fixed on me from every corner of the hall."Why?" My voice came out sharper than I intended. I took another step forward."Mr. Bolkiah, what seems to be the problem?"The silence that followed felt suffocating.Then suddenly, whispers erupted throughout the crowd. The murmurs spread like wildfire. I could hear snippets from all directions."Rejected...""So publicly too...""I didn't expect that...""How embarrassing."A few mocking chuckles followed.My fists clenched. The sound of those laughs scraped against my nerves like sandpaper.I ignored them. My attention remained locked on Mansur Bolkiah. I needed an explanation… hell, I deserved one.After everything I had done to secure this opportunity, after all the preparations and arrangements, how could he simply cancel the contract in fro

    Aaron"Mansur Bolkiah is here."The words had spread through the hall like wildfire, making the entire venue vibrate with anticipation.Finally, everything was about to change.A sudden hush swept through the hall. The massive entrance doors opened. Every conversation immediately died.Hundreds of eyes turned toward the entrance.Two bodyguards dressed in perfectly tailored black suits stepped inside first. Their expressions were emotionless, their movements precise and professional.Then the man everyone had been waiting for entered.Mansur Bolkiah.Even from a distance, wealth practically radiated from him.He was dressed in an exquisite dark emerald traditional outfit called Baju Melayu. Gold embroidery traced patterns across the sleeves and collar, subtle enough not to appear excessive but rich enough to remind everyone exactly who he was. A luxurious sampin woven with golden threads was wrapped around his waist, the traditional garment adding an unmistakable royal elegance to his

    JasmineI stepped out of my car and closed the door behind me. For a brief moment, I simply stood there, staring at the building before me.The Whitmore Cultural Institute.This was it. This was my shot.Either I nailed this today, or I would humiliate myself so spectacularly that weeks—no, nearly

    OliviaI sat stiffly on the couch, my hands clasped together so tightly in my lap that my fingers had gone numb. Across from me, Liam sat in the single armchair by the window, his elbows resting on his knees as he leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on me.The sitting room felt unusually quiet.
