TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN Settling In
Amy was bored out of her wits the next day. She did not want to tour the city again. Not that she wasn't having a good time in the city but rather she found herself missing her country. She didn't want to go to bed alone anymore in a place she barely knew anyone.She sat leg crossed on the hotel bed and stretched her hand to reach for her phone from the nightstand. Instead of calling Reynolds, she called her assistant, Jane. "Hello ma'am," Jane answered on the first ring. "Hello Jane. Can you book me a flight right now to New York?" Amy asked. It took her a while to respond. She probably wondered why her married boss would call on her honeymoon to book her a flight. "Yes ma'am," she finally replied after which Amy disconnected the call. Amy could've simply let Reynolds know she was coming. She knew he would've certainly arranged for her arrival but she had decided against that because she wanted him to know she was not dependent. And besides, if she wanted to have her freedom after

Amy was walking past a couple of rooms until she came across one with its door ajar. Curiosity had her legs walking in forgetting she was to find the kitchen. The majestic piano in the center of the room was surely conspicuous. It was the only object in the white room. It was black and shiny. She might as well add inviting, as her fingers itched to play those delicate keys. It had been a while since she played. She stopped immediately and took a step towards it. Considering the fact that this was the only item in the room, it must hold some importance to the owner and what if he didn't want it touched. But then again the door had been left ajar. She went ahead to take the seat in front of the piano, clearing her mind of any more reasons why she shouldn't play the piano. Pianos were meant to be played after all. The moment her fingers touched the keys she went along to play the song 'perfect'. That had been the first song she had played on the piano the moment her music tutor h

The harsh knock on her door awoke Amy from sleep. She glanced at the window to notice the sun had set and it was evening. She got out of bed and made her way open the door. "Mr. Bennet has asked to inform you that dinner is ready," Grace said and waited for a response. Amy nodded and she left. It was easy to walk through the house as she now knew where in particular she was going. She reached the dining room where Reynolds was seated at the dining table and Mrs. Nora was exiting using the other door. "Good evening," she greeted as she took the seat opposite Reynolds. "Good evening," he replied, lookingup from his phone. "Grace informed me you enjoyed being in the garden," he added. "Yes, I did. I'd like to be educated on the other plants I did not recognise" Amy replied. Mrs. Nora came in with a tray in hand. She smiled at her in acknowledgement and began emptying the tray she was holding. Amy returned her smile before focusing on Reynolds again. "I'll inform the gardener, Mr. Har

"Surprise!" Voices exclaimed startling a very surprised Amy. She saw her employees emerging from the operations manager's office grinning. Good thing his office was big because she had quite a number of employees. "Welcome back, Mrs. Bennett!" They exclaimed. So that was all this was about. She felt quite sad that she was lying to all these people but there was no way she would tell them her marriage was a mere sham. In fact, she'd enjoy the perks while it lasted. Grinning, she went on to say a thank you for she was truly grateful. Jane stepped forward and said, "We'd like to congratulate you on your wedding ma'am." It was unfortunate they hadn't gotten the chance to attend her wedding. Her mom's guest list had not extended to them. "Thank you." As Amy was feeling grateful and generous she added, "I'll treat everyone to lunch today." They broke into smiles and all clapped cheerfully. "Now I have to set an alarm." Stanley said dramatically and everyone burst into laughter. Leave it

The contract Amy was glad she still remembered where the study was located. She anticipated how it'd look like as she took the grand spiral stairs. Would it be like her father's traditional study? She hoped it wasn't like her father's because if Amy was to be truthful, it was overly grand and made you feel like you were in an empty room, even though it had been fully furnished. Or maybe it might resemble his office. That would do just fine if it was like that. Amy took the left turn to the study. She reached the study and knocked lightly on the door. Even to her, it was too light for anyone to hear so she was going in for another knock when she heard a "Come in." She gently opened the door and entered and just like she had imagined, the study looked almost like his office. Modern. The difference was the colors of the walls and the floor. They matched the colors of the villa. White and gray. "Have a seat," Reynolds extended to the seat in front of his desk. Amy walked toward his

Reynolds was going to the kitchen for a glass of water when he saw that the library doors were open. That was unusual as it was mostly closed. He was the only one who used it so who could've been there at this hour. Except... Amy did not go to bed. He detoured to the library. The room was quiet and there was no sign of anyone occupying it. Perhaps, Mrs. Nora must've left it open. He was turning back to leave when he saw something in his periphery. Rather someone. Amy was sleeping with her head resting on the desk. Computer in front of her. Why was she sleeping here instead of her room at this hour? He moved closer to where she rested and got a good look at her. Her long blonde hair hid her face. Her hair seemed smooth and silky. He bet it'd feel the same just as it looked. He wanted to run his hand through it and feel for himself how smooth it was but he'd startle her if he did that. Something caught his eye on the screen of the computer. Mr. Smith Alexander donates to children in

Amy couldn’t believe she had let that slip out of her lips. What must he be thinking of her now? She slowed her steps when she almost reached her room, she was captivated by the guttural laughter she had heard on her way out of the dining room. It had beckoned her to return and ask for another but she still had her senses intact. That was the first time she had heard him laugh and she'd pay billions to hear that laugh again. She almost hit her head on her door. Was she really daydreaming now? Reynolds Bennet was making her act like a high school girl. From her windows Amy watched as Reynolds climbed in his car and left for work. She hadn't want to bump into him after what she had said. Fortunately, he left right after breakfast. Amy had been worried he was going to leave later than he had. With a sigh, she sat at her vanity and began applying her make-up. Another sigh as she took a good look at her face. Before going down for breakfast, she had put on a bit of concealer to hide the

Amy hurried home after work because she didn’t want to be late for the dinner with Mr. Smith. She greeted Mrs. Nora on her way to her room. When she turned on the lights in her room, she was surprised to see three boxes on her bed. She remembered unboxing all the gifts she had received from her employees this dawn so who had sent these. Curiosity clawed at her to open the box, so she walked to her bed and picked one. She opened it to find a rich red fabric. She set the box down and held the dress out to it’s full length. The gown was breathtaking. Impressed by what was in the first box she quickly but gently put the gown on the bed and picked up another box and that was when she spotted the black card on the third smaller box. How had she not noticed that before. It read, I thought you’d look good in this. Put it on for the dinner party.------ReynoldsAmy’s jaw dropped. She thought this was a little too romantic given their relationship. She didn’t know how to take it.

TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN INTERLUDE
"How could you tell that detective that I had issues with Amy?" Sarah screamed at Jessie. Without waiting for her to reply she launched again, "and you eavesdropped on my phone call? Jess you eavesdropped on my phone call with my husband and went ahead to snitch on me to make yourself look good". "I did not snitch on you Sarah at least it was not my intention to, he was just so persistent and made me say it" Jessie said slowly. "How could you throw her under the bus to save yourself Jessie?" Ava asked and shook her head in disappointment.The first day of the interrogations had ended with only Jessie and Sarah being the first two to be interrogated. Ava had asked everyone to meet after the whole day to get to know what happened and as a form of emotional support but things were gradually going South between Sarah and Jessie. "I…I didn't know what to say Sarah. It was like he was seeing into my soul and I couldn't shake the feeling off that was why I told him the first thing that
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN SARAH
Detective Jones picked up the next file in front of him; the name on it read Sarah O’Brien, she was Luke's wife. Luke who happened to be the personal assistant to Reynolds Bennet and his close friend too. In a way she was the closest to the Bennet’s and would probably have more information than any other person could. He flipped open his note to where Sarah’s name was scribbled and peered at it, so far he had not been able to deduce any falling out or argument between her and Amy but that was the scary thing. The hidden resentments were usually the worst because when it manifested it usually was fatal. A knock sounded on the iron door and he pushed his chair back and rose to his feet, it was time for the next person.“Sarah O’Brien right?” detective Jones asked and stretched his hand to the woman at the door. “Yes,” Sarah said and took his hand. “Please step into the room” he said and moved to one side, giving her just enough space to go in. He watched her walk into the room and
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN JESSIE
Detective Jones stood behind the door of the compact sized room used as storage for the numerous files which harbored the cases that had been brought to the station since it had been erected. Cases some of which had been investigated properly while some cast away and long forgotten, their files now accumulated with dust and fraying at the edges. They filled the room at one end and spilled into the other end at one side. Detective Jones had spent half of the night moving and shoving things to one side of the room, leaving the other side of the room bare but which now had a small table with two chairs one on each side of the table sitting in it. He planned to convert the room into a makeshift interrogation room just like the one they had and used in the headquarters when they brought in people for questioning.Detective Jones yanked the cranky door open and strolled into the room, he walked towards the only window in the room and pushed it open, letting the slant ray of sunlight fil
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN ENEMY IN DISGUISE
Amy weaved through the throng of people as she made her way to the table where her friends sat. Sarah stood up and hugged her as well as she could, given that the size of her stomach had increased by 3 since the last time they had met, which was at her baby shower. “How are you doing Amy? You refused to see any of us for almost a week since that incident” Sarah said and led her to a seat. “Are you finally out from your hiding?” Carie said and placed her hand on Amy’s lap. “I wasn’t in hiding, I just needed to get some things straight” Amy said to them.“We were all so worried about you Amy, we called your office but your secretary said you were not yet on seat. You refused to take our calls or respond to our messages, I hope you don’t blame us for what happened that day” Ava said. “I am fine guys but there is a problem, I am not allowed to speak or talk to anyone who was present during the baby shower because there is going to be an investigation because I was obviously framed fo
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN A NEW DETECTIVE
Reynolds sat in the waiting area waiting for the police superintendent. It had been 3 days since Amy's arrest and their last meeting and he couldn’t let it pile up any longer, he came in early in the morning because he needed to do something about the whole situation. He had contacted Luke the night before and they discussed strategies and plans to go about Amy’s case and how to prove that she was not guilty and they had come up with plans which he was here to try out.The door to the office opened and the man stepped out and gestured for Reynolds to come in. “Mr. Bennet please come in” he said and Reynolds followed him into the office he had been in for like the 5th time in one week. “I want to know what types of investigations are being carried out on my wife’s case,” Reynolds asked. “Well Mr. Bennet, we have not yet commenced investigations on your wife’s case” the superintendent said and rapped his fingers on the table.Reynolds was having a feeling that at this point this cou
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN RELEASED BUT NOT FREE
“Mr. Bennet I’m sorry but that will be quite difficult to achieve at this moment. We don’t take it likely with drug offenders and the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table” the police superintendent said to a grim faced Reynolds who was sitting in front of him. “How is that even possible? You arrested my wife last night and in the space of less than 24 hours the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table? I know the amount of paperwork involved in transferring cases Mr. Superintendent so do not try to fuck with me. I want my wife’s case transferred to the headquarters” Reynolds said again. “Mr. Bennet I’m afraid that cannot happen, this is my jurisdiction and it is a sensitive case which…” “Don’t tell me it’s a sensitive case Goddammit” Reynolds shouted and banged the table in front of him with a clenched fist. “I want my wife out of that cell this minute and for her case to be transferred to the headquarters or else I will subtly fuck you up in ways you cannot imagine
