Axel

I couldn’t take it anymore.

Everything that had happened so far… from the so-called foreign investor to this sudden board meeting, was nothing but a carefully planned trap. A premeditated plot meant to corner me, humiliate me, and strip me of everything I had built.

Before I could speak again, Aaron’s voice cut through the tense silence.

“I’m certain you have been informed about my shares, little brother,” he said calmly. He leaned back in his chair leisurely, as if he owned the room. “So,

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   St. Catherine Medical Center

    BlakeThe taxi rolled to a stop in front of the hospital, but I remained seated for a few seconds, my fingers curled tightly around the strap of my handbag.My heart refused to settle.When the driver cleared his throat politely, I blinked, realizing we had already arrived."Ma'am?""Oh... yes."I paid the fare, murmured my thanks, and stepped out onto the pavement.The cool evening breeze brushed against my face as I slowly lifted my eyes to the enormous building standing before me.St. Catherine's Medical Center.The familiar blue letters stood boldly on the front of the cream-colored building. Even though many years had passed, I recognized it immediately. The hospital had changed over time. The glass entrance looked newer, the surroundings were cleaner, and colorful flowers now lined the path leading to the automatic doors.But despite all those changes... it was still this place.I stared at the sign for what felt like forever. It had been more than eighteen years since I had s

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Dinner Gone Wrong

    OliviaThe rich aroma of herbs and roasted chicken drifted through the dining room before my mother appeared from the kitchen, carefully carrying a bowl of creamy mashed potatoes.Beside it sat a platter of roasted chicken glazed to a perfect golden brown, steamed vegetables, and warm buttered dinner rolls.The entire dining table looked like something out of a family magazine.She carefully set the bowl down before smiling at Shawn, seated across from me."Hope you're enjoying your dinner, Shawn?"Shawn had just picked up another piece of roasted chicken and took a bite. His eyes slowly closed. For a brief second, he didn't even say anything and simply chewed.And from the ridiculous expression on his face, you would think he had just discovered the meaning of life hidden inside a piece of roasted chicken.When he finally swallowed, he let out a contented sigh before opening his eyes."This..." he said dramatically, pointing at the chicken with his fork, "is the best chicken I've had

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Conversation We Both Needed

    OliviaThe lecture hall, which had been buzzing with conversations just moments ago, gradually fell into silence as Professor Hale adjusted his glasses and looked around the room with an unusually satisfied smile."I have one final announcement before everyone rushes out."He picked up a folder from the podium."I have finished grading all the team project assignments."Almost everyone straightened in their seats in anticipation. Professor Hale scanned the class for a brief moment before speaking again."I'm pleased to announce that the highest-scoring project belongs to Miss Olivia Brooks and Mr. Shawn Sinclair."The classroom immediately erupted into applause."What?""No surprise there.""Those two were always at the library."Someone even whistled from the back.Heat rushed to my cheeks as dozens of eyes turned toward me. Behind me, I heard someone lightly clap Shawn on the shoulder.Professor Hale smiled."I must say, your presentation was one of the finest team submissions I hav

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   I Came Back Just in Time

    ColletteThe first thing that hit me wasn't anger.It was shock.Pure, bone-deep shock that rooted me to the doorway for the briefest second as my eyes struggled to process the horrifying scene unfolding before me.For one terrifying heartbeat, I couldn't breathe.No.No...My hand reacted before my brain did.I yanked my phone from my pocket, lifted it high, and immediately began recording everything in front of me as I stormed into the room."Get away from him right now!"Every head whipped toward me. Time itself seemed to freeze.Aaron's grip was still on Vincent's phone as he whipped his head towards me, Sarah's eyes widened so much I thought they would fall out of her head, and even Vincent stared at me in stunned disbelief.I could barely believe what I was seeing either.Just minutes ago, I had walked out of this very room because I needed air and to calm the emotions raging inside my chest.The hospital gardens had been peaceful. The fresh breeze had helped clear my thoughts a

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Better Late Than Never

    VincentI slowly turned my head toward Sarah.She froze the moment our eyes met.Her fingers instinctively intertwined, clutching each other so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her shoulders were stiff, and she deliberately avoided looking at me."So..." I said quietly, my voice calm. "You heard everything your son just said, didn't you? Tell me, Sarah... what exactly are your thoughts after hearing all of that?"She swallowed hard."Vincent... please..." Her voice came out much softer than usual, carrying a pleading tone that almost sounded desperate. "Please try to understand our son.""He... he was only hurt. You keep comparing him to Axel. No one likes being told they're not as good as someone else, especially by their own father. He was angry... that's why he said those things."She looked at me hopefully."He didn't really mean everything he said."She hesitated, her lips parting slightly before pressing together again, as though she were arguing with herself over whether

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Wolf I Raised

    Vincent“Get your hands away from me!”My fingers wrenched free from Sarah's grip, and I quickly turned toward the door… It was already closed.Collette...My Collette was gone.A crushing ache spread through my chest—she had turned around and walked away without looking back.She hadn't even spared me a single glance.I could still see the emptiness in her eyes before she'd left, and that image cut deeper than any knife ever could.God… What have I done?How had I managed to hurt the woman I had loved with every piece of my soul? How had I become the very man who had destroyed the person who once trusted me more than anyone else?I had watched her cry and lose herself because of me. And now… she was gone. This time, I wasn't sure she'd ever come back."Vincent..."Sarah's voice pulled me back to reality. She cautiously moved closer again, her eyes already brimming with tears."How are you feeling now? Does your heart still hurt? Was... was it because of Collette? Did she upset you ag

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Behind the Meridians Door

    JasmineI turned at the next intersection, my fingers tightening around the steering wheel as I slowed my car just enough to avoid drawing attention.Axel’s taillights glowed faintly ahead of me in the dark, red dots cutting through the evening traffic.He had told me he needed to meet with some bu

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Trap at White Angel

    OliviaThe phone slipped from my sweaty hand and landed on the passenger seat with a dull thud.I tried to take a deep breath.But all that escaped my lips was a shaky, uneven exhale.This was really it.It was finally happening tonight.Tonight was the end.Or at least… it was supposed to be.I cl

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Deadline at Dusk

    OliviaI stifled a yawn, pressing the back of my hand lightly against my lips as I blinked at the page in front of me.I had been sitting in the faculty library for hours studying, but it had been worth it. The concepts Professor Hale introduced earlier finally made complete sense now. I was just

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   Transfer Student

    Olivia“Strategic differentiation,” Professor Hale said, “is not merely about being different. It is about being meaningfully different in a way that your target market is willing to pay for.”The large screen behind him displayed a slide titled ‘Competitive Advantage in Saturated Markets,’ with bu
